Ozzy Osbourne: ”Ihmisiä ei kiinnosta kuulla uutta musiikkia Black Sabbathilta”

Black Sabbathin laulaja Ozzy Osbourne on sanonut News.com.aun haastattelussa ettei usko ihmisten olevan kiinnostuneita kuulemaan uutta musiikkia Black Sabbathilta. Toiseksi syyksi päätökselle olla tekemättä uutta Black Sabbath -albumia hän mainitsee sen, että siihen menisi kolmesta neljään vuotta. Hän haluaa Black Sabbathin lopettavan huipulla sen sijaan, että hommaa pitkitettäisiin liikaa. Hän kertoo myös olevana ylpeä siitä, että Black Sabbath ei ole mikään bisnesmiesten keksimä tuote, vaan yhtye, joka lähti liikkeelle neljästä kaveruksesta, jotka halusivat soittaa yhdessä. Kitaristi Tony Iommia hän kehuu positiivisesta suhtautumisesta hänen sairastuttuaan imusolmukesyöpään. Hän ei jäänyt kotiin suremaan, vaan jaksaa painaa eteenpäin sairastumisesta huolimatta.

”It’s the end of Sabbath and people have been asking, ’Well, I thought you were doing an album.’ But the things we’ve discovered are — number one: People aren’t really interested in hearing new stuff and number two: If we were to do an album before the tour, it would take three or four years to complete the album. We want to end it on a high note. I’d rather end it now though than drag it out for another five albums. I mean I’m 67 in December. When we started out, I thought, ’This thing will be all right for a year or two.’

”One of my greatest memories of anything Sabbath was that we were a band that weren’t created by some London fucking business dickhead. We were four guys in different bands and we all got together and made a record. I remember being in a pub in Birmingham and the manager at the time said to me, ’I have some news for you. Your album is entering the British charts at Number 17 next week.’ I went, ’Fuck off! You’re winding me up.’ It remained in the Top Ten for over a year and none of us have looked back since. ”

”When Tony was diagnosed with lymphoma, we are all, ’Oh God, why now?’ But in saying that, we all got around him. He said to us, ’Look, If I sit at home in my house thinking I’m going to die, I’ll fucking probably will die.’ He’s a different person to everyone else — he’s one of those guys who say, ’What do I have to do to fucking beat this?’ I mean, there’s never been a leader of Black Sabbath, but I suppose in the early days, it was him. But don’t forget, in the very early days, he left and joined Jethro Tull, but then he told them to go fuck themselves and came back. He has courage in his own conviction. He’s fucking unbelievable.”
