As long as there are kids who are pissed off and have no real way in venting out that anger, heavy metal will live on.

We're going off the rails on a crazy train.

Tony Iommi - the undisputed king of demonic heavy rock riffs. In this area, no one had never surpassed him.

I keep hearing this [expletive] thing that guns don't kill people, but people kill people. If that's the case, why do we give people guns when they go to war? Why not just send the people?

I remember what a thrill it was to go from the back streets of Birmingham to Madison Square Garden in New York...it's like playing on Mars. You can't buy that.

I didn't think anything we did was spectacular. I remember we thought, 'Let's just write some scary music.'

Occasionally, I go off the rails. I once nearly killed somebody once - it wasn't funny. I am a lunatic. The pressure of work, the pressure - everyone has a stop valve, and I don't have one.
