I never try and sound like Sabbath.
102
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.
103
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. Hope

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. Death

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.
106
Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.
107
The '80s were the worst period. You had these horrible pop bands growing their hair and calling themselves metal.
108
If you polish things too much, it loses the feeling.
109
Without a doubt, Ozzy is the craziest person I've ever met. Son of Sam is a close second.

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.
111
Jack Bruce, as soon as I saw him, it changed me. I didn't even know what bass players did until I saw Cream.

I've been perfectly happily married for 25 years, and have a nice life. Inane things don't interest me.
113
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.

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

We were into Hendrix and Cream, who were like the heaviest bands around at that time. We just wanted to be heavier than everybody else!

The Geezer album, Black Science, had a lot of keyboards and it did not work.
117
Lately, I've been listening to some jazz albums. I love the new Pat Metheny album. John Coltrane. I still like good metal, though!
118
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.
119
It seems like the older bands are bigger than ever. We get a mixed crowd where you have kids and old blokes like me.
120
I like to deal in the reality of life. I'm too old to sing about women and things like that.

However long the song is was how long it took us to write it.
122
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.
123
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.
124
I would not want to write something about something I do not think about.

I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.

I never picked a bass up before Sabbath started.
