BLACK SABBATH STORIES

'Nowadays, of course, we’re all so jaded that a whole genre of horror films can

call themselves “torture porn” and it’s all fine and dandy, but back then it was a

wholly different story.'

'As Butler told me, “We did the first

album in two days. That’s the way it should be. The second album was done in

five days and the third one in a week, and those were our biggest-selling albums

—and are to this day.” '

'In 1997, Sharon contacted Iommi and asked him if he was interested in

reforming the classic 1970s Black Sabbath lineup for Ozzfest’s second year, and

‘Aah!’'

'Working in this dilapidated old abbey was all right during the day, but they didn’t start the actual filming until something like midnight.

Cozy was drinking brandy just to keep warm, but he got pissed as a parrot.'
