Eddie Van Halen Was Probably The Most

I Hated School. After 15, You Went Off To College If You Were Good Enough. It Didn't Appeal To Me So I Left School. I Did What Everybody Did - Get A Job.

Like Most Things That Happen With Sabbath, It Happened All Of A Sudden. I Was Intending On Doing Some Recording, But Out Of The Blue, Sharon Called Up And Said She Wanted Us To Do These Gigs With Ozzy. I Said That If Everybody Else Was Up To It Then I Would Love To Do It.

For Me, I've Never Talked About My Private Life. It's Always Been About Black Sabbath. It's Strange To Open Up And Talk About Me As A Young Lad, My Relationships, Marriages And What Not.

The Feeling You Get From Playing To A Good Audience Is Hard To Describe Without Sounding As Though You Are Talking Silly. But Reaction Is Important. You Might Feel In Yourself That You're Doing It Ok But It's When You Get The Live Reaction That You Know You're Doing It Right.

I Was Mostly Surprised By The Rap Artists, Actually, That Were Influenced By Sabbath. That Was A Surprise. But It's Very Nice And I'm Very Honoured. It's Nice To Know After 27 Years Now That What I Said In The First Place Has Stuck, And That Was The Belief In It.
