Ozzy Osbourne 1974 | The Sabbath Bloody Sabbath Interview

[@rolandconnor575]

As a 19 year old kid, I met Ozzy in Savannah, Georgia at the Hilton in July 1975 along with his assistant, Frank Silvagni. They invited me up to the hotel room before the show as Oz was convinced I was a genuine fan. I, too, have an old cassette tape of that afternoon in the room. Ozzy talks about his family with Thelma and then the bomb shell. He says he will have his own band one day and that he already has the name for it "Blizzard of Oz". This is four years before it ever happens and no media has ever reported such a thing. I still have the tape. The next night in Lakeland Floirda I get in a car accident in front of the Holiday Inn just as the band's limos are pulling into the parking lot. They feel sorry for me and I get a ride to the gig that night with the band. I am given an All Area Access pass and positioned just to Ozzy left and I proceed to refill his drinks for the performance of purified water, OJ and honey. After the show my life changes forever. I meet Mark Forster, the band's tour director and personnel manager. We become friends until his passing in 1991 and I am invited as a guest for additional tours. I am 68 years old now. All of these experiences will be included in an eventual book called "Stand Out From The Herd". As for any closure, I can say that Ozzy kept a few photos I gave him 1975 and used one on his VH1 Behind the Music documentary and low and behold, today, if you go on Black Sabbath website in the section of "history" the second photo down, a black and white, that I took in 1972 of the band live, is being used. I would hope one day before one of us passes away, I could say thank you one last time to John Osbourne. Until, then, I have the tape and a hell of a scrapbook. Thanks for listening. Pat Renau

[@highdb1]

That is really amazing. I hope you get your book written.

[@rolandconnor575]

Thank you. I wrote an original first draft manuscript in 1987 and have done nothing with it since. I have to work well into my 70s so I can't find the time or effort to give it a complete going over, but a simple comment like yours on an obscure you tube video like this gives me the desire to finish it. Time is short. I appreciate your reply. Pat@@highdb1

[@stephenowens3687]

Please finish the book! I'd buy it!

[@jeffdowning4877]

Thanks for sharing that. I'm an absolute Sabbath fanatic going back to the late 70s. I have every recording and just about every book written about them as well. It's always cool to hear stories about your favorite artists that show that they are down to earth decent people and care about their fans. I did meet Geezer and Tony backstage though on the Dehumanizer tour in 93.

[@rolandconnor575]

Thanks Jeff, your welcome. You know Ozzy was pretty mellow that afternoon. He smoked a little sweet leaf in the hotel room with us, went down for a swim before the show, but no real hard drugs, no girls, no incoherency. A wonderful first impression. He even wrote out his home address and phone number for me on an index card. Many stories I have. That was just the beginning. I never once in all of these years took those experiences for granted. After Mark, their tour director, passed away, I lost direct contact and by then, concert tours were developing layers of security, and I had simply grown up into trying to make a career. One day, I hope to complete the circle. Appreciate your interest. Pat @@jeffdowning4877

This interview occurred a year after the release of my favorite Sabbath release, of course because it was also my first Black Sabbath tape I ever purchased. The legendary darkness that was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. A true masterpiece.

[@Scion-cy6wj]

Sabbath were never about "darkness" - they were reflecting on the dark side of the world situation in many of their songs as a 'wake up' call.

[@DowneckNewark]

My favorite all time Band, BLACK SABBATH

[@talesofanasphaltjockey]

Ozzy has always been a humble guy , never takes himself seriously...my fave of all time

[@walterevans2118]

Sabotage some critics didn’t like but I thought it was brilliant. For me the whole of side 1 was just CLASSIC Sabbath…Hole in the Sky….Symptom of the Universe,,,Megalomania were all just so powerful.

[@budgiemcleod4443]

SBS and Sabotage are the best, heaviest albums ever recorded.

[@steve-0493]

Can't explain it,but Am I Going Insane is actually 1 of my fave Sab songs..dk why,heard it as a kid on Rock 105(WV station)...it just captured me ,b4 u even knew who Ozzy/Sabbath were!!

[@GarryWootton]

@@budgiemcleod4443 at last, I found someone who knows.

[@walterevans2118]

Lovely when Ozzy talks about Rich Wakeman. He was one of the leaders in his field. Even YES recruited him…Ozzy always appreciated great players and musicians, whatever their instrument. That’s why he appreciated RANDY when he was coming up thru the ranks after things didn’t go well with Sabbath in the late 1970s.

[@RichardHansbury]

Wakeman really should have been listed as the fifth member. He contributed far more than he ever got credit for.

[@davesaenz3732]

OZZY IS BLACK SABBATH 2.0

[@RichardHansbury]

I have always loved Ozzy's energy and absolute refusal to be stopped. He's just a regular guy like me who makes a lot of mistakes but never intended any harm. He got chewed up and ground down by managers and "friends" but always bounced back and stirred up some fun. A true inspiration despite every bad thing they can say because (despite the showbiz imagery) he is a Christian and does admit his failures and he works on them.

[@R0GUER0CK]

Ozzy dont have a bad song I have been searching. Hes a HEAVY HITTER all the way. POP stars have bad songs.

[@JamminClemmons]

@@R0GUER0CK - Sharon is the evil witch that screwed over prior band members. *NEVER* have your wife manage your funds...$$$$$.

[@mark11967AD]

You’d have to put Ozzy’s voice and passion right up there as one of the all time great rock voices in any genre. Ethereal, rowdy, melancholy you name it Ozzy’s voice has it. Simply magical.

[@rft2001]

Up until the albums where they processed his voice so much that it just sounds like a caricature of Ozzy.

[@blairwos1382]

[@simonal1989]

Interesting to hear his nice words for Rick Wakeman, can tell they respected and digged each other a lot

[@harryzimmerman7991]

It's cool that Ozzy's the same now as he was then about performing and the fans, it's really sad and you know it's eating him up not being out there up on stage where he loves to be because of age and illness!

[@walterevans2118]

I believe that in the early 1970s Ozzy, Tony, Geezer & Bill were very disillusioned with the flower Power hippy movement with its utopian dreams which it ultimately failed to deliver. Their lives in the harsh economic realities in Birmingham weren't anything like that pipe dream so they went down a much darker lyrical theme park which TOTALLY SUITED the Dark Riffs & lowered tunings TONY was coming up with..Actually the LYRICS were largely down to GEEZER. He was possibly the person who saw the failure of the Hippy dreams more than anybody.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Wow, you actually did this back then, almost early Ozzy. Someone had to have but you did it, that's great!

[@hoppinonabronzeleg9477]

Thankyou for uploading, as regards the transcription, I only have one revision, where it says 'unintelligible' - Ozzy says he invited Rick up on stage to play, But had been gigging in London, and was tired, and sent a telegram the word is .. : 'apologising' Lovely stuff very revealing. HOABL

[@TheTapesArchive]

Damn! Nice catches. I tried forever trying to figure out what he said there. I think you nailed it! 🤘🍻

[@U2kheim]

Love it! piece of history - felt really special to hear this. Thank you!

[@johnskerlec9663]

A huge part of why I listened to Black Sabbath was their protest lyrics against the shit going on at the time (and still today) and the big guitars and voice in the package. It didn't hurt to have a risky cover for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, although my first exposure was Paranoid. At every stage, their output blew me away.

[@YourCaliBos]

[@TheBent139]

Wish Ozzy had discussed specific songs. My favorite Sabbath album by far. A masterpiece IMO. Made more incredible considering the state of intoxication they were in the entire time. I base that remark on Iommi's description in "Iron Man".

[@mmarone333]

I mean, there he is at the 7min mark talking very excitedly and passionately about how great the album is. That it “shocked the shit outta me,” of how good it really was; and then saying how much he was looking forward to “the next one and then the next one.” This is guy, in a band, clearly making history with more a d more incredible music and…the interviewer has yet to ask him specifically about the songs, or allow him to get expansive about the obvious development they’ve had. C’mon man. Black Sabbath was obviously and clearly taking incredible strides, setting them apart from all heavy bands at the time. It’s a monumental record. Yet there doesn’t seem to be acknowledgement from the interviewer.

[@RowlandLewis]

Thank you, I really enjoyed this. The words being translated into text were definitely helpful.

[@walterevans2118]

I think Ozzy was never affected by Fame the way American rock singers were. Ozzy was always this down to Earth British guy who found himself in the limelight and was finding his way as the things were happening to him, All the ‘Sabbath are Devil Worshippers’ stuff was kind of projected onto him by the real nutcases who actually DID that stuff and also by the Christian Fundamentalists particularly in the United States who were buying into the misinformation that was being invented & circulated about the band …..Amid all this people like Ozzy ,Tony and Geezer and Bill were these 4 down to Earth Brummies who just loved to rock going -‘what’s all THIS stuff?…We just want to do music. We never bargained for all this.’…There was this big disconnect between these down to Earth guys who just wanted to Rock who Sabbath actually were and what people in the media wanted to perceive them as…We can hear from what Ozzy says here that he was someone who loved to connect with an audience from day one but that energy and interplay wasn’t what these fundamentalists were making it out to be. But in those days Sabbath didn’t do too many interviews so it was difficult for Sabbath to counter what was said…Sabbath deserved success because they had worked very hard on the road and business wise we hear that Ozzy in the past had been screwed over by people.

[@PaulLoughrin]

Great interview with Ozzy! Thanks!

It’s really hard to top Sabaath Bloody Sabbath. There’s something truly special about that album.

[@HardPen-jj5nl]

Yes! If I had to pick only one. Proto-progressive metal.

[@perpetualmotion357]

I think Vol4, SBS and Sabotage is prime Sabbath. They really hit their stride and found the perfect balance to their music in that early era. It's a crime how much attention Paranoid gets compared to the following albums. It'd be like only promoting the second Zeppelin album and forgetting albums like Physical Graffiti.

[@DeltaNineProductions]

Some of Tony's best riffs, and some of their best lyrics.

[@GarryWootton]

Sabotage put the 🍒 on top of Sabbath bloody Sabbath.

[@deussoundgarden]

Would have been really interested to have heard Ozzy do a solo synth album in the vein of ‘Who Are You’…

[@walterevans2118]

‘Am I Going Insane’ was being written by Ozzy way before it went on SABOTAGE ? …that’s interesting.

[@walterevans2118]

‘Slum Rock’ ..that’s an interesting description…lol…I think Sabbath never forgot their roots which gave their sound its raw edge. In 1973 when I was 12 in the uk people were either enthusing about Bowie glitter pop or into the sound cleverness of Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon but I remember discovering SABBATH and the Paranoid album and rocking out more to its aggression. And it’s sheer PROPULSION…..And this was all way before I discovered VH when they rose up in 1978.

[@Ronnie-dm5qd]

This was really cool. But one thing that I kinda trip on is how Oz sounds so super positive about Sabbath bloody Sabbath when years later he said that he saw it as marking the end of the band. That has been said in more than a couple of places. Of course no one is going to say "We just put this new album out that I only sorta like because it's too technical and technologically oriented". But what he's saying here is just so tremendously different from what he has said years later. In an old issue of Guitar for the practicing musician he said "By the time we did Sabbath bloody Sabbath we were becoming the pink Floyd of heavy metal and the kids weren't interested." So hearing this after reading that makes it all the more fascinating.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

Zzzzzzzzz

[@HibikiRush]

From what I've gathered their accounts of their "best" album have changed a few times. I think Geezer once said it was Paranoid as the band just seemed to have it together and ideas kept coming in the short amount of time they had, then later said it was Sabbath Bloody Sabbath as other records like Paranoid they were constrained with recording times...

[@Ronnie-dm5qd]

@HibikiRush According to Tone in his autobiography, the album he said they had the most fun making was Vol 4. Heaven and Hell was also mentioned as an album that really loved doing because of the new life that the new lineup brought to the band. But what their best album was musically and their favorite album to have made are two different things. For my money, Master of reality was their greatest album in every way bar none!

The stuff about Rick Wakeman: I think it's "I (woul)d dig to work [more] with the guy." I think the stuff about "emptiness" is interesting and you can hear it when comparing the Sabbath stuff with the solo stuff, especially early on.

[@XxReeses]

This is awesome.

[@perpetualmotion357]

In his 50 year career, I always thought SBS and Sabotage have Ozzys best vocals he's ever done. Even those live shows from this tour and Sabotage, Ozzy and the band just sound great, and their setlist with the jams and downtuning seemed to gradually disappear starting with Technical Ecstasy. I've seen Ozzy solo and with Sabbath over 20 times in my life. Most of those shows I was either in the pit by the stage or really close. Even after the 2000's I've always appreciated not having to spend an arm and a leg for those shows. Last time I saw the pricing to see bands like Metallica that close I'd be coughing up practically a grand or more. They are far from the only ones. When I see what bands like Motley Crue are asking who I saw on the 2010 Ozzfest bill and they were terrible, it makes me shake my head and tha was practically 15 years ago.

[@garymitchell5899]

The idea that Ozzy and Sharon in particular aren't motivated by money is amusing to say the least.

[@GarryWootton]

Ur spot on... Sabotage put the 🍒 on top of Sabbath bloody Sabbath.

[@perpetualmotion357]

@@GarryWootton Without a doubt. SBS and Sabotage to me have always flew under the radar. Maybe not to hardcore Sab fans, but given how famous they got and even moreso when Ozzy went solo, I bet there are a ton of casuals who like Ozzy for his radio hits but have no idea of the power in his voice and the overall songwriting in that 72-75 era. While a band like Led Zeppelin practically got their entire catalogue played over the airwaves, Sabbath were always relegated to only a handful of songs (mostly from Paranoid) that hit the radio that doesn't even begin to touch the depth and majestic magic included in the 4 albums after Paranoid. Ozzy"s voice is just insane on SBS/Sabotage. From Sabbra Cadabra, Spiral Architect, the title track, A National Acrobat to Hole in the Sky, Megalomania, SOTU, The Thrill of it All, The Writ etc..Ozzy is arguably the biggest vocalist thats ever came out of the genre, and the best vocals he ever cut loose inside a studio are mostly unknown to the people that just think Paranoid and Crazy Train.

[@scottbubb2946]

So far, I've listened to about ten minutes of this, the main thing I'm noticing is that Ozzy seems really serious in this interview for some reason. It's strange to me because in all the interviews I've heard with him, in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, he has been really funny and joked around a lot. I feel like people who may have only seen him on the tv show (which I never watched) saw him as this old, befuddled guy who couldn't find his cell phone. For many years, Oxxy was really sharp and quick-witted. I don't remember ever hearing him be this serious. It's different. Edit: I saw another comment that said he doesn't sound coked up in this. That's probably what it is.

[@garymitchell5899]

It's normal Ozzy, obviously a bit more coherent than later periods. He's never been sharp or quick witted and he isn't here.

[@garymitchell5899]

"I don't sort of read the newspaper. I don't sort of watch the news and sum up the way of big depression cloud that's hanging over the world today and write to it. It happens, just comes out" Typical Ozzy and mostly meaningless.
