Toward the later days of Sabbath, instead of going in and knocking out what songs we did in rehearsal, we would polish them to death.

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.

What I used to play was rhythm guitar before I saw Jack Bruce. I said, That's what I want to do in life. He was definitely the main influence

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.

Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.

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.

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