Ozzy talks about the music
In an interview with NME, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne spoke about the first song on the band's debut album, the track "Black Sabbath." According to Ozzy, the song is the scariest he's ever written.
“When we first started playing back then, as soon as we started playing the beginning of that song, the younger girls in the audience would freak out. They thought we were Satan’s friends or something.”
Ozzy also says that's where his nickname came from: "That's when the whole 'prince of darkness' thing started. When people start getting excited about Halloween every year, all I think is 'well, we had Halloween every night'."
In the same interview, Ozzy stated once again that despite doing his last tour with Black Sabbath, his solo career continues: “It’s not me who wants to retire, it’s Black Sabbath. I’m going to continue my own thing.”
