Max Cavalera muisteli edesmennyttä Ozzy Osbournea: ”Hän oli mielestäni todella hauska”
Entinen Sepultura– ja nykyinen Soulfly-laulaja Max Cavalera muisteli Ozzy Osbournea Phoenixin NBC-kanavan 12News-lähetyksessä. Cavalera muisteli Osbournea lämpimästi ja kertoi, että vaikka Ozzylla oli villin miehen maine, koki hän itse Ozzyn hauskaksi ja ystävälliseksi ihmiseksi. He tutustuivat paremmin Soulflyn perustamisen jälkeen erityisesti Ozzfestin aikaan, jolloin heidän lapsensakin viettivät aikaa yhdessä. Cavalera kertoi myös huvittuneena, miten Ozzy ei kerran tiennyt olevansa Ruotsissa, mikä hänen mielestään kuvasti täydellisesti Ozzyn aitoa rock and roll -asennetta.
Cavalera kertoi:
”Well, I first met him around ’96 with my old band. And at that time he didn’t come out that much. And we were also — ’cause we’re such fans, we were all scared of him. But then after I broke up with my old band, I started my new band. That was at the same time that our son was killed here in Arizona… Ozzy and Sharon invited us to their house and we started hanging out more with them. When we did Ozzfest, our kids played together. They went to their house. But, yeah, like I say, I think the image of the wild guy and all that, the times I spent with him, I just thought he was really funny, man.”
”We’d mostly hang out in backstage and things like that. And there was one time where we were in Sweden, and he asked me, ’Where are we?’ He had no idea where he was. And I just loved that about him. It was, like, this is so cool. This guy, he’s so rock and roll. He just goes. He doesn’t even know what country he’s in.”
