OZZY OSBOURNE - "I'm A Garbage Can" When It Comes To Drugs; Video Interview Available
June 11, 2013, 11 years ago
Legendary BLACK SABBATH vocalist OZZY OSBOURNE and bassist GEEZER BUTLER are featured in a new interview on The Opie & Anthony Show. Check out video from the interview below:
Edna Gundersen of USA Today recently sat down with original BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, and bassist Geezer Butler to discuss their first album of original music together since 1978, titled 13, and their tour to support it.
Osbourne, 64, chimes in. "It takes a while to switch off being Ozzy. I've been on my own for 35 years and it took me three or four gigs to become un-Ozzy and be a member of Black Sabbath again. Now it's one unit. It's great, a different feeling entirely. It's the chemistry of these guys around me that makes it happen. The shoe fits."
"I thought we'd have to keep Ozzy on track, but he was there all the time," Iommi says. "He's been really good." Osbourne explains, "For the first time, I felt people were listening to me." Read more at this location.
