Ozzy Osbourne, as humble as he can be, complained to The Inquirer about his last reunion with Black Sabbath.
Check it out:
“I didn’t have a great time. I spent nine or 10 years in Sabbath, but I’d been away from them for over 30 years.
“With them, I’m just a singer. With me, I get to do what I want to do. I was getting bad vibes from them for being Ozzy. I don’t know, what the f**k else can I be?”
He also talked about his moment in life:
“I’m just a zany ham. People tell me I sold out, that it’s not heavy metal, it’s not cool. I don’t agree. It’s all entertainment. You got to be mad if you turn down that kind of dough.
“I’ve gotten older but the audience seems to have stayed the same. [Laughs] I see fathers and sons and grandsons.
“I got a thank-you card about three days ago from a 70-something-year-old woman saying, ‘You might not believe me but I love going to your concerts with my son.’ It makes you feel weird. I’ve replaced Bing Crosby and all them, I have.
“I’m having more fun now. I don’t do drugs anymore, I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke dope, and I don’t smoke tobacco anymore. I’m having a blast doing it straight because I was doing it drunk for years.”
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
