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

When you see all of these bands citing you as influences, it makes you feel relevant

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.

To me, Sabbath was always just a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.

Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.

It doesn't matter who you vote for. It's still the same billionaires that run the world.

I don't feel a lack of hope. It's just disappointment that after all these years we're still fighting meaningless wars for a handful of people.
