The Sabbath is a weekly cathedral raised up in my dining room, in my family, in my heart.
Who doesn’t like to play Black Sabbath tunes!
Without the jazz influence, the Black Sabbath drumming would be very different.
The first record I ever bought was Kiss’s ‘Destroyer.’ And those classic bands like Black Sabbath were my first loves.
We’re never gonna see bands like Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath again. It’s over.
I get to play what I’m feeling on my solo records, and I get to bang the hell out of a drum kit in Black Sabbath.
I’m not telling you what to do on the Sabbath, and you won’t tell me.
I love Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath and Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC.
I just can’t bring myself to see Sabbath without Bill Ward, because he was such an integral part of that band.
When we did ‘Air Dance,’ I thought we were actually quite courageous doing that because it’s not necessarily quote-unquote a Black Sabbath song. But I don’t give a damn about that because it is part of Black Sabbath; it is a Black Sabbath song.
We’re trying to have the band create something beautiful that hopefully one day, 20 years from now, can be picked up by a kid and hopefully have the same effect that Neil Young had on me, or Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.
Black Sabbath questioned a lot of things.
I’m Reconstructionist; I don’t serve the Sabbath, but I go to synagogue.
Heinrich Heine once imagined the exiled Israelite as a dog who regains his stolen manhood only when he embraces the Sabbath bride. I see western swing performing a similar function in hardscrabble Texas, turning dirt-poor hired hands into Dapper Dans with magic feet at the Saturday night hoe-down.
I think it would be fun to play a young Ozzy Osbourne in a movie about the formation of Black Sabbath.
Keeping the Sabbath day holy is much more than just physical rest. It involves spiritual renewal and worship.
I love Black Sabbath’s music.
On the Sabbath, I’m supposed to focus on Jesus and the resurrection. But if I don’t practice, I let the team down. I don’t want my teammates to think that I think I’m special.
I’ve often said that with Black Sabbath you ought to have put a lasso around the sound and pulled it in. That’s the best way to record Black Sabbath.
I think the greatest records we’ve ever heard, from Zeppelin to Purple to Sabbath to The Who, were all recorded in the studio live.
When I think about Oz, when he was a teenager, I’m just reminded of what an excellent blues voice he had. He had a large voice. When we did the Aynsley Dunbar song ‘Warning’ and ‘Black Sabbath,’ his voice is so right. It’s really round, and it has that pain from within in his voice.
Anybody can observe the Sabbath, but making it holy surely takes the rest of the week.
I don’t want to ride on Sabbath’s coattails in order to encourage my own opportunities.
Philip Roth has made a cottage industry of unlikable characters, but compared with Mickey Sabbath, the furious and profane protagonist of ‘Sabbath’s Theater,’ Roth’s earlier creations seem like Winnie the Pooh.
