When Ozzy calls and asks you to go on tour, you say, 'When do I start?'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.
Ozzy wanted to get us back together. It's been 20 years. We did a couple of songs during his farewell in 1992 and that got the ball rolling.
I want it to be remembered that Ozzy was the first celebrity who was brave enough to open up his private life to the public. He was the first.
If I'm playing with Ozzy it's just a guitar thing. But with the vocals I feel like I'm studying for the SATs.
So when bands work with me and it's 10 o'clock, usually you'd have to be getting out of the studio, we could go on until 2 in the morning cause it's my place!
It was like going to church, except Ozzy Osbourne was there.
On the tour we get a case of beer on the bus every day from Ozzfest.
I'm the one in the band that said I'm not going on tour unless we do a record.
Traditionally the show must go on which is a stupid thing to say, but that in a nutshell is what's going on. We have a new record out; if we won't tour, the new record dies. It's reality - it's what business is nowadays. You just need to tour to sell your albums.
I basically say I'm on tour all the time, because one tour goes into the next.
