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

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

That's really the thing that got me into playing a lot - getting excited about playing along with my favorite bands like Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

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

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

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

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 once asked Ozzy Osbourne, truly one of my favorite people in the world, if he was cool with singing Black Sabbath songs year after year, whether he was performing with Black Sabbath or out on a solo tour. He said it was great.
