The satanic bloke was lying on the stage with his cloak wide open. Ozzy Osbourne: Before I knew it, one of our roadies was running on stage with a metal bar raised above his head, and he twatted the guy in the face. He’d got past security but somebody managed to jump on him. And as I’m walking off, this bloke’s behind me. During that show, my amps were playing up and I really got pissed off. But later on we found out this bloke had cut his hand and drawn the cross in his blood. Tony Iommi: When we’d got to the gig, somebody had painted a cross on a door in red. We were playing Memphis and this bloke in a black cloak ran on stage. Ozzy Osbourne: The Satanists never stopped being a pain in the arse. Some of those religious weirdos were as dangerous as the Ku Klux Klan. People came to our hotel with black cloaks on, lighting candles. Tony Iommi: We had all sorts of weird people coming to the gigs in America – witches, all sorts. Geezer Butler praises Mastodon and Royal Blood.Various: Great Lefty: Tribute To Tony Iommi.Ozzy: "With Black Sabbath Nothing Is Ever Easy.The only thing that messed with our heads was the drugs. Tony Iommi: The success happened so quickly, but we just went along with it. It got to the stage where you’d come up with ideas and forget them, because you were just so out of it. Uppers, downers, Quaaludes, whatever you like. But it felt great.īill Ward: We were getting into coke, big time. I said to one of the crew, “I really feel tired tonight.” He said, “Why don’t you have a line? It’ll perk you up.” I’d been around it for a while, but I’d never taken it. Tony Iommi: The first time I tried coke was at the LA Forum in 1971. Ozzy was putting away as much as me – which was as much as humanly possible. They had a seat on their private plane, so I’d travel with them. Rick Wakeman (keyboards, Yes): I was a serious drinker, as were all of Sabbath, so we got on like a house on fire. In July 1971, they set off on a US tour, supported by Yes. Master Of Reality was certified gold on advance orders alone in the States. The press still hated them, but the kids couldn’t get enough. Things were changing gear for Sabbath, especially in the US. Tony Iommi, "I didn't want to be the leader." (Image credit: Getty Images) Never has a man rhymed ‘insane’ with ‘brain’ so many times. The album looked so cool with its dark, evil colour. I wanted the music to the best it could be, and I was worried to leave it in other people’s hands.īilly Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins): Master Of Reality changed the way I thought when I was eight years old. The same in the studio: they’d go home and I’d still be in there. I came up with the ideas and if anything happened I was the one that they’d come to. It was just that they looked to me as a leader. Tony Iommi: I didn’t want to be the boss as such. If there were four Ozzys, we never would’ve gotten anywhere. He steered the ship in the right direction. Geezer Butler: Tony was the great leveller. He’d say, “To hell with it – I’m not doing this!” Whenever that happened, he would start believing that he wasn’t capable of playing the song. Tony Iommi: We tried recording Into The Void in a couple of different studios because Bill couldn’t get it right.
