Henry Rollins - Ozzy Osbourne Interview

Ozzy Osbourne on the Henry Rollins show.. very insightful interview on the man who has now been reduced to being known as Sharon Osbournes husband.

[@1TheResurrectionists]

"We'd be ona ona le bu we'd ne-a-ge-in an-a-a I got so pissed off fubeena owbeenana beeguba n an-first time you go, you get all excited" - Ozzy Osbourne, 2006

[@mouthmw]

Excellent quote!

[@kaylac.5406]

This was about what I heard. I love his accent, but I could only understand about half of what he was saying, but there would be little phrases that stuck out like ".......first time....fuck off....."

[@Spacecookie-]

Well, we'd be on the limp and we'd never get in, an.. a.. and I'd get so pissed off a bit y'know. I'd be in a a *dithers around* First time you got, you get all excited. Second time... etc One just needs to listen to understand about 90% of Ozzy ^_^.

[@KTF0]

I have that quote tattooed on my ass.

[@Ishbu101]

lmao!

[@DreaminTeamin]

Ozzy has the greatest accent in history of accents.

[@zanyredonkulous]

Its called being drug fucked

[@x3NGL4NDx]

It's called brummie.

+wayne philip Wayne I love that Brummy accent. Been trying to copy Ozzy my whole life. I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana and I have always loved the way Ozzy speaks.

[@fannys941]

😄😄

[@OneTon379]

Ozzy is the most honest, real, open star there is. Great interview, glad to see him sober, and for all of you bashing his speech, I understood every word. The man's lucky to be alive, and I'm glad to see him in this light. Great!

[@hesch-tag]

Not honest with writing credits.

[@peternagy-im4be]

You reckon he's sober? Seriously?

[@TheSyconerd]

@@peternagy-im4be more so than he was before. Of course his accent is a bit tough to understand due to his Parkinson's and slurring drawl, but is also the drugs that cause him to make it more difficult to understand.

[@adolflenin4973]

@@TheSyconerd He has Brummie vibe

[@00Mindi00]

Only takes a min or so to get used to his slur. No big deal.

[@brotothewilliams9890]

It's gotten worse over time showing that he probably has gained minor brain damage from drugs or something else. in the 70s he kinda stuttered but it was clearly just from an accent this is an uncontrollable stutter

[@prunehead]

Brummy twang. get to a Birmingham pub after 9pm. Standard.

[@trevorarndt2965]

Broto theWilliams hes also 70 years old...

[@patrickmccutcheon8860]

Been listening to his music and stuff for over twenty years, I've gotten a pretty good grasp on the Brummie thing. I get where people might not get it at first, but it doesn't take long to understand. The joke has gotten rather stale.

[@gj4312]

@@brotothewilliams9890 not brain damage, he can still sing without a stutter

[@hudbudtaylor9580]

I love Ozzy he admits he’s faults, he knows he’s blessed and even though u sometimes can’t understand him. He can sing like a true legend Rockstar.

[@flurbanmoran7797]

Is that bad? Nihilist.

[@winchuni22]

For those who are wondering his accent is originally from Birmingham, England. A 'Brummie' accent. But its been heavily influenced by his drink and drug habbit over years. You won't go to Birmingham and find everyone stuttering/slurring (unless you're down a pub). Love Ozzy, love Sabbath and Rollins is growing on me.

[@alanalanalanalan1428]

Can you understand it?

[@winchuni22]

Alan Yes. His accent is normal - its his delivery which is sometimes off. When he stutters you have to work a little harder to understand but when he's flowing its fine. He has a working class midlands accent. If you're not from the UK you'd be amazed by the variety of accents in the country - especially given the size. As a result from numerous people who have settled over the ages and the language has developed from that. In a way the 'modern' countries who speak English slightly differently are a continuation of how the English language has developed and continues to develop.

[@elliottbrady6115]

+winchuni22 Im a 17 and have lived in Australia for 8 years, im a brummie originally and can understand him fine

[@TopProductReviews2]

+Elliott Brady I'm a Brummie also, I can understand him but with Ozzy it is not his accent asl winchuni22 has stated, he hurries with his sentences and often does not finish his words.

[@cameronsmith5470]

+Alan its easy to understand

[@renbecks66]

Why does the end of this interview always make me cry!!! We're going to miss Ozzy so damn bad when he leaves the building. Oz is the man- so genuine and full of gratitude.

[@TheMeJustMe75]

I respected Ozzy when I was 7 or 8 and I still respect him at 40. I listen to Black Sabbath just about everyday and love every song!

[@ZjawbreakerZ]

See this is how an interview should be like. Decent, good questions, letting the interviewee talk his part and keeping it genuinely sincere. Henry nailed his part so Ozzy just had to be himself as he always did.

[@genellege]

I swear Ozzy Osborne could say anything and I'd still giggle

[@MrSmokeydog]

The Bottom line is that Ozzy Osbourne speaks from his heart in a genuine way. Considering the fact that his entertainment career reached the upper stratosphere after Sabbath after his solo work. The average person not knowing anything about him saw him on television as this zany caricature of himself. The fact is that he will always be that wild and crazy guy from the streets of Birmingham England who is totally original and truly loves his fans.

[@grahameglinton5424]

Ozzy is very easy to follow. But people dismiss him . A real shame.

[@BpgaMusic]

four local guys from the same school conquering the fucking world. that was so sick and humbling.

[@Ampullae]

Henry's interviews are just awesome, I've never seen such a personal side from Ozzy in anyother interview. Rollins just gets on the same level, and treats him like a human being. Great stuff

[@zenonnowak9350]

I come back to this interview once in a while just to see his confused face at 1:11

[@Symmetryful]

I love how Ozzy's profanity is the clearest vocabulary he speaks... xD

[@peternagy-im4be]

Bullshit

[@HGZMO]

Great interview. Rollins is perfect for this interview. Still a kid inside loving rocknroll and in a little bit in respective awe, and also smart enough to relate and ask the questions fans wanna hear. Cheers to all the great music both have brought to this world

[@michaelstrong4823]

This is one of those videos... if I’m having a bad day, I watch this video and feed off how happy Henry Rollins is to be doing this interview, and how genuine and real both of the dudes are. Pure energy. Thanks for the fuel...

[@murdocniccals6466]

I dont know what everyones going on about, i can understand Ozzy just fine.

[@freebee8221]

Same here

[@threed7]

I think once you hear him talk a lot he’s a lot easier to understand

[@sacluvsBM]

Ozzy is one of the most humble, self deprecated and honest person you would ever care to meet. "I had a dream and it came true."

[@RCAvhstape]

As soon as Ozzy started talking a giant grin went across my face. How can you not love this guy!

[@----.__]

That was great to watch two rock gods chatting like old mates. Cheers for the upload.

[@MrBibbityBop]

Is it me or can Ozzy not decide at all whether to sit forward or rest back.

[@CassiusTravels]

Just like he can never decide if he wants the mic in his hand or in the mic stand.

[@jetboy_]

lmaooooo or whether to clap or throw those legendary peace signs. ehh he can do no wrong?

hahaha great. did't noticed it my self. :)

[@jacobbauman4091]

around 4 mins in Ozzy says his dream came true... his life and career is 10x better than any possible dream!

[@j.t.thomas1859]

He came up from NOTHING as well. Grew up in a one bedroom apt with no indoor plumbing and 8 other siblings.

[@afterburner2869]

Isn't it strange that a man that is so hard to understand makes his living by singing!

If you want to have fun with this, turn on the closed captioning ;)

[@darksorcerermusic]

who ever transcribed those captions obviously does not under stand British working class accents...also didnt understand rollins english also

[@ThePooneil]

darksorcerermusic I think youtube prob uses some sort of voice to text program for the CC. Personally I do not mind the accent, it makes me concentrate harder on what he is saying

[@darksorcerermusic]

those captions were really bad...id feel sorry for deaf people reading it ...they would think ozzy was more nuts then he is.

[@jonstevenson6788]

9:05 and we conquered the fucking world. yeah. (At least it got that right.)!!

[@darkrufio]

LoL...The best part in Ozzy's caption was '' When you gonna burn arena 321 bone people'' EPIC!!!

[@GeankDOORS]

"When we write a song, first of all we write it for ourselves, and if you like it that's a bonus" totally fucking true Ozzy, the voice of wisdom and esperience!!!..that's something I've always thought that every musician should know and do!!!

I never get tired of listening to Ozzy 🎸💕

[@shayneoneill1506]

I like Ozzys comment about being convinced that when he dies its becauses hes done something stupid like tripping over and breaking his neck. I've always said when I die I want it to be funny. Like falling off a cliff and landing on a "warning! heights!" sign.

Iv always wanted to meet him he seems so cool so down to earth if I had a chance just to say hi ozzy and that’s all that will be a huge high life in my life

[@reggieshelton4301]

Ozzy said he's the luckiest man alive having not died from drugs etc. He said in this interview 2006 that the way he will die is he will trip and break his neck. Fast forward to 2019 he got up to go for a piss lost his footing in the bathroom fell and broke his neck and survived 😂 he is the luckiest man alive.

[@m69n]

Was looking for this comment lmao

[@Bone74838]

One of the first videos i ever watched on KZbin i was 27 at the time. Glad it's still up. I am 41 these days... god... Where does time go really. Sabbath was really his passion and always will be. You can here it at the end.

[@shaynernb]

ozzy....all I can say is....I've been a fan sence I was introduced to your music at the age of 13....I'm 38 now and I love you like a brother, your music helped me through some difficult times in my life and I'd just like to thank you. Great interview Henry!!!!!

[@smokeybear5460]

5:56 that is literally what he is going through right now. He fell and broke his neck and is having to get nerve treatment. Crazy.

[@DabacktoDapunkcomeon]

Slipped on a match?

[@worldsmosthated2006]

When OZZY finally does go he is going to be like ELVIS.....A Stone Cold Legend. One of only a very small handful of Iconic performers of all time.

[@handsomerube]

1:23 everyone's facial expression while trying to understand Ozzy...

[@Nile8765]

I love how they tallk like they are best friends. Usually in interviews, the famous person doesn't care or want to be there its a quick conversation. But they both are having fun

[@ragereset2795]

They actually are friends. Henry called Sharon and asked if he could fly to England and hang out at Sabbath band practice when they were rehearsing for a tour, Sharon asked the band and they said no worries. Henry telling the story is amazing, he literally couldn’t believe he was there.

[@ExireHG]

I love Rollin's interviews with other rock musicians. He sits down with musicians millions of people know and it always seems like such a human conversation. It's always like two friends just talking about whatever. It's great. Also, call me weird, but I've always understood what Ozzy says perfectly fine. He's a great, legendary musician. I love him to death, haha.

When Ozzys daughter had those two songs on the radio...I was at a club in NYC...with my bud...I knew the DJ for years...so we hanging with the DJ. We didnt know Kelly was coming...not unheard of in NYC nightlife when a song/album is being promoted. I look to my right...Sharon walks in followed by Ozzy...I as frozen...trying my best to be an un impressed like a NYer should...He said hello, shook my hand..asked me "where are we hanging?...In my head I was like"I will build you a couch if you need"...I showed him where there was seating...his daughter was singing...I was probably staring like a mental patient...I tell you I was replaying his songs...the times I seen him in concert...the times when his music played out likke a blueprint to my life...I was teary eyed...my friend was like "you ok?" I said "sure"...I regretted not sitting with him, telling him what a fan I was and getting his autograph...Years later I was with my daughters and met the Ozzbornes again...and sat with Ozzy...but they were wax figures in Madame Tuessous wax museum. My daughter took a pic...which is now hanging on my wall
