I was so frustrated in Sabbath after the last few albums. I just didn't like the musical direction Sabbath was going in.

To me, Sabbath was always JUSt a really heavy blues band. That s all we were. We just took those blues roots and made them heavier.

If there was no Black Sabbath, I could still possibly be a morning newspaper delivery boy. No fun.

Who doesn't like to play Black Sabbath tunes!

People that love this form of music have loved it from way back - Sabbath, Zeppelin, the early days.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.

I was really into Black Sabbath, but heavy guitars can really be very limiting, it's a great frequency and it's great fun to listen to but on the other hand, musically you can do a lot more without it.

I was mostly influenced by bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest - Metallica's 'Kill 'Em All' was also a hell of an inspiration.
