Legendary Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne spoke with Timeoutdubai.com recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Timeoutdubai.com: How does it feel to be back with Black Sabbath?
Ozzy: “It’s the cherry on the cake for me. I’ve been bowled over by the success of the last record (13, released in 2013), we’re touring all over the world. It’s been a remarkable couple of years.”
Timeoutdubai.com: Have you seen that there’s a petition going around to get you a knighthood?
Ozzy: “I’ve heard about that. Getting knighted? I can’t imagine anything better. And my wife would become a Lady, which would be pretty cool. But I’m not gonna get upset if it doesn’t happen. I never thought I’d get further than Aston.”
Timeoutdubai.com: Heavy metal is an underground movement, but Black Sabbath were playing huge shows alongside bands such as the Eagles in the ’70s. Did you feel like you were part of the mainstream?
Ozzy: “Sabbath never thought about the mainstream or the underground. Our success came from word of mouth: no critic wrote anything nice about us. In those days, if parents didn’t like it, their kids would.”
