Who doesn't like to play Black Sabbath tunes!

I never try and sound like Sabbath.

Then as I got older, I always gravitated towards the hard stuff, Born To Be Wild, then Black Sabbath.

Black Sabbath was written on bass: I just walked into the studio and went, bah, bah, bah, and everybody joined in and we just did it.

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

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.

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.

I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.

Black Sabbath invented heavy metal, in my opinion.

I'm not telling you what to do on the Sabbath, and you won't tell me.
