boys band poison
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.
roots band heavy
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.
song rehearsal knocking
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.
son doubt mets
Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.
uncles aunt night
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.
musical frustrated lasts
I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in
trying sound sabbath
I never try and sound like Sabbath
nice years married
I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me
soccer play watches
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.
feelings too-much polish
If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling
bass sabbath
I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started
challenges finals albums
To do the Ozzfest again would be great. I'd like to finish with a final Sabbath album. You always feel that it is still a challenge.
english-musician
However long the song is was how long it took us to write it.
almost belt english-musician music produced supposed totally
It's totally produced now. It's almost like a conveyor belt of what metal's supposed to be like these days. It's not music to me.
