    It’s funny most of the bands people consider to be pioneers of “heavy metal”
    don’t consider themselves heavy metal, except maybe Judas Priest. That’s because they’re original and played what the felt naturally and liked what they were playing, not worried if it would be acceptable to rock fans. True artists don’t try to be anything.

    This is so strange. There is a clip of George Harrison being interviewed somewhere here in the States promoting Cloud 9. It's about three minutes and it's the one where he says "So how did I meet Eric Clapton? We shared the same wife." Watch that, then this. The facial mannerisms and expressions and the verbal (accent) similarities are uncanny.

      He didn’t leave, he was simply fired. The death of Ozzy’s father was the end of his musical spirit. He had ideas of his own, but the band turned it down. Being frustrated of being pressed and the death of his father fuel him with more drug and alcohol. He was simply a mess. The band wanted to move on, Jack’a death impacted every members of B.S. but they couldn’t reach Ozzy, so he was fired.
