Simon Greene ScotlandOnSunday conducted in October 2009 an interview with the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. Some parties of an interview can be seen below.
About addiction:
Ozzy:. "Clinics are not there to cure it You will never be cured of an addiction, but they will tell you what is wrong and suggest how you can prevent the symptoms is a terrible affliction and I thank God that people. They have recognized this as a disease. "
"Some people never stop. When George Best (British soccer player) died, he had a liver transplant and continued to drink. Alcohol, drugs, tobacco, is all the same, it's something to fix the way you feel. But this began to turn against me. As soon as my tolerance began to worsen, I could barely hold something, I drank and then had to take another dose to recover, hence there by nine o'clock I was already finished " .
"That's when I started to smell the 'old powder' to rebuild me again. At first it was fun, but then no longer and began to do this because he thought it was normal. Today I am lucid again, you know?"
On the "awakening" that made him realize he had a problem
Ozzy: "Once we had children's holiday, the birthday of one of the children, and Sharon [Ozzy's wife] said to me, 'You should have seen yourself yesterday,' and I said, 'What was wrong with me ? I was cool, playing with the kids or whatever it is. "And she told me, 'You want to see?' and she put a video and I was drugged. I thought, 'Maybe this is true.' "
On having received death threats, both Satanists as Christian groups during the early '70s, at the height of BLACK SABBATH:
Ozzy:.. "I received numerous threats on my life They would shoot me one night I went to the show and there was this weird vibe backstage, suddenly this policeman comes in and says, 'We heard from a good source that this guy I would shoot you tonight, what you want to do? ' I said, 'Well, they're in here, so if I do not they will get pissed. They will not shoot me while I'm on stage. I do not think'. I thought it was just a matter to move a little more and use My assistant Tony as a shield. "
On your annual itinerant festival, Ozzfest, which gave opportunities to new bands like SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT and LINKIN PARK to present:
Ozzy:... "Several times people said, 'I bet you're happy with the resurgence of Heavy Metal' Well, number one, I can not stand the title Heavy Metal If it were heavy rock sound better You can not say that the bands now sound similar to bands of the 70's But I'm glad that I took the stage for a lot of these kids are present. The music industry is dying, so what a lot of these kids will do is have a device to record on the bus and record an album at night as they travel to sell them in the presentation. "
About Reality Show "The Osbournes":
Ozzy:.. "It was an experience I saw as an extended version of 'Cribs' (MTV show in which host visiting celebrities from home), that was basically what was Believe me, we could have gone with it I do not. wanted to do it. I have not watched any of those episodes, I saw pieces. I can not stand to see me on TV. They (the TV) are very rude people, is threatening business ".
