I love soccer. That's all I ever watch. I'll watch it all day if I can. But I'm too bloody old to play now.

During our first meeting, Tony Iommi was a great jazz guitarist, his capabilities cover all styles - Black Sabbath has even narrowed his horizons.

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

Lately, Ive been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.

The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.

If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
