HALL OF FAME FOCUS: BLACK SABBATH (cont.)

Ozzy, if the crowd reacts like it did at the U.K. Hall of Fame induction last year when Black Sabbath was admitted, do you think you will respond in the same manner?

Osbourne: I just think we're gonna take the award [instead of performing], which I'm glad. I mean, if I play f***ing "Paronoid" again, I think I'll shoot myself.

I understand that the crowd was a little sedate, so you dropped them a moon.

Osbourne: Oh yeah. I mean, it's f***ing rock n roll... you've got f***ing guys as old as me, if not older, sitting there being cool, you know? I mean, when I started rock'n'roll and when the Who started rock'n'roll and when the Kinks started rock'n'roll, it was great. [At that moment, I thought] I have to go for it, you know?

Is there anything you want to add?

Iommi: I think I've more or less said it. I think it'll be great, I'm really looking forward to the night, you know, to get there and have a good time and really enjoy it, because these things are so lovely to get, and I'm just so proud, you know. I'm pretty much looking forward to it, and thanks for all our fans for sticking with us.

Osbourne: Thanks for nominating us, whoever you are! [laughs]
