Classic Rock Revisited founder Jeb Wright recently caught up with acclaimed metal photographer MARK "WEISSGUY" WEISS to discuss his involvement in the new OZZY OSBOURNE documentary, God Bless Ozzy. An excerpt from the interview is available below, including the intro by Wright:

"Thirty years ago, in 1981, a New York City kid with a camera received an assignment from Circus Magazine to shoot a small black and white photo of Ozzy Osbourne. When the shoot was over, Mark Weiss had taken the infamous shot of Ozzy Osbourne, The Prince of Darkness, in a pink tutu, wearing cowboy boots. The photo ended up on the magazine’s cover, and was the first of many crazy photos the duo would concoct over the next three decades.

Weiss and Osbourne worked well together, both professionally and personally. What began as a one-off photo shoot has turned into a life long friendship.

Mark has now joined forces with Ozzy’s wife, Sharon, to raise money for the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars Sinai, and The Woman Cancer Fund, in conjunction with www.LETUSINcampaign.org by donating several one of kind items to their auction, which runs through Mother’s Day.

The twelve iconic Ozzy Osbourne photographs up for auction were originally displayed at the famous Riot House in Hollywood, after Ozzy’s appearance at the 2009 Sunset Strip Festival. Each of the archival giclée prints on canvas are autographed by Ozzy, and Mark, and are dated “April 25, 2011,” which is one day after they were dispayed at Jack Osbourne’s documentary premier for his film, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. Winner bidders will also receive a free 11x14 print signed by Mark Weiss.

In the interview that follows, Mark filled us in on his role in Jack Osbourne film and the story behind how he got Ozzy to wear a bunny suit."

Jeb: Tell me about the film project and how you got involved.

Mark: "Jack Osbourne, who produced the film, invited me to the premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Easter Sunday. I was the last interview he did for the movie, and I made a short appearance in the film, talking about when I found out his parents were a couple- before anyone knew. Many of my classic photographs of Ozzy were also used throughout the film."

Jeb. Can you give me a hint about your part in the documentary?

Mark: "Let's just say here is one of my quotes in the movie: 'There I was, taking pictures of Ozzy in bed, and next think you know, Sharon crawls under the covers to do the deed...that's when I knew they were a couple.'

Jeb. Is Ozzy as crazy as TV has made him seem?

Mark: Ozzy is the most sincere, honest, loving guy anyone could meet, and he’s not afraid to show it. He says what's on his mind, and is not afraid to say it. If you think that's crazy, then more people should be that crazy."

Ozzy and Jack Osbourne recently spoke WITH PopEater.com about God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, the feature-length documentary about the life of the legendary metal singer. Check out the interview below:

A clip from God Bless Ozzy Osbourne is available below. It features Ozzy's children Jessica and Louis discussing their relationship with their father:

According to World Entertainment News Network, directors Mike Piscitelli and Mike Fleiss worked with the rocker's son, Jack Osbourne, to produce God Bless OZZY OSBOURNE over a period of three-and-a-half years, but co-producer Jordan Tappis admits they had to start from scratch 12 months into production, because they just weren't getting anywhere.

But Tappis reveals they soon learned how to handle the veteran star, born John Osbourne, and eventually managed to convince him to openly discuss his lifelong battle with drink and drugs, and how his addictions and increasing fame affected his family.

He tells WENN, "The first year (of filming) was pretty much a waste. It was about learning and understanding Ozzy... and we wanted to find out who John Osbourne was, so we spent a lot of time figuring out how to get to him so that he would reveal the truth behind who he really was."

"A little bit of prodding (was involved). It was just understanding his personality and learning how to talk to him and how not to talk to him, and what makes him tick."

And Tappis is urging fans to check out the documentary, which premiered at New York's Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday, to see a different side of Ozzy.

He adds, "I hope that people walk away from this and say they thought they saw something that was true and honest and that's new for them, for this story."
