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.

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

If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling

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 never try and sound like Sabbath.

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.

I'd sort of dabbled in Black Magic, not practicing it, but I was interested in it. All these horrible things kept happening to me - a lot of my aunts and uncles started dying and I was seeing all these bloody things visiting me during the night.
