This 1974 Ozzy Osbourne interview has never been heard until now. It's the earliest known long-form audio interview with the Prince of Darkness. It’s also the only audio interview with Ozzy relating to Black Sabbath’s Sabbath Bloody Sabbath album. It is recommended this interview be watched on YouTube so you can see the captions. Ozzy is hard to understand at times. https://youtu.be/-yRVDfrjs54The interview is conducted by Steve Rosen, one of the true legends in rock journalism. Rosen has a career spanning 50 years, thousands of articles, and several high-profile books with artists like Black Sabbath, Prince, Randy Rhoads, and others. But his most notable work is his recent Eddie Van Halen book, Tonechaser. Tonechaser is considered a must-have book for Eddie Van Halen fans and any music fan. No other book has uncovered so many untold stories about King Edward. To order Rosen's Tonechaser: https://bit.ly/3MSVTo9Check out Rosen's YouTube channel: https://bit.ly/49hIu1ZRead Rosen's article written about when he met Black Sabbath in 1974: https://bit.ly/45TxeWXIn the interview, Ozzy talks about:
