Ozzy Osbourne on Health, Drugs, and the Age of Computers - Back & Forth (Part 1/3) 

Jack turned out great in the end..

Pleased to see Ozzy's looking well. He looks better now than he did 10 years ago, good for him, top man, real legend

As an addict, I totally get what he says when he articulates that sobriety is like the new trip. When you're used to being stoned, being sober is a trip.

Hes a smart man behind the drugs

I'm like 4 minutes into the interview and just realized that was Jack Osbourne! He's changed a lot from The Osbournes days!!

I'm from the UK and can literally understand everything he says. I think the whole not understanding him started from the US. anybody that has grown up and lived the UK can understand him.

I’ve watched so many Ozzy interviews that I now have the ability to fully understand him

A true legend

'I wanted to be a beatle' lol that line cracks me up every time just the way he says it :P

I understand everything he says. It’s really not hard to understand his accent if you actually listen. God bless Black Sabbath and Ozzy for giving us their music. In my house the Black Sabbath flag will always fly high and will be respected.

Ozzy and son Jack Osbourne discuss, health, drugs, and how kids don’t know what “jamming” is.

he sounds and looks way better than when they had that mtv show on em

Ozzy looks great, Jack too.

Bruno Mars and Snow Patrol. That seriously caught me off guard

I'm scared for the future of my children when people like Ozzy are NOT around. We need the Ozzy's of the world...I'm not sure where the next lot are coming from.

it must be real hard for Ozzy to keep staying sober. i was into hard drugs for several years and still think about it everyday after qutting a long time ago

Ozzy, The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Slash, Queen and so on, really do make me feel so proud to be English. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I am the only person who can understand exactly what ozzy is saying?

Ozzy gave us so much energy over the years, so much we could never pay back. I'm grateful to have seen him in concert. There's absolutely nothing like an Ozzy concert.

Everybody keeps saying they can't understand him but you just have to slow down and listen. Like he's said before, he has an accent from his region and he stammers when he's excited so you just have to pay attention. I understood him and I'm American.

Jack sounds like he's just met Ozzy.. It's weird

"I wanna give them my heart on a plate, and that's gods honest truth" - Ozzy.

Might be a little hard to decipher Ozzy, but this has been a good interview. Jack actually asks original questions that would be of interest to fans.

I got into Ozzy some years back. Ozzy is one of the most fortunate people in rock/life. He's said it himself. If it wasn't for his talent and good fortune(if he was a "regular" guy) he my have not made it to 45 yrs of age. There is something to be said about making ample amounts of money loving what you do and having supportive people in your life(ec)

They both look great! This is brilliant!

black sabbath definitely one of my favorite metal band

turn on automatic captions for a good laugh

I got to pick out my first album at age 5. I got, Black Sabbath Paranoid. I've been a metal head since the age 3 and I'm 50 and metal is a huge part of me. Thank you Ozzy!!

it's just wonderful to see a father and son talk like this. more than most have.

Such a legend! And it's just amazing how many others he has outlived😁.

This is the best I've heard ozzy in a long time. I'm proud of him. He has always been a hero.

Really cool interview with jack Osbourn and Ozzy you rock 😁😎

I've missed the Ozbornes so much thank you!

I remember Jack when he was about 2-3 in Ozzy’s Don’t blame me DVD I still have lol

Ozzy, good advice. I'm a long time fan of yours.

If you put it on 1.25 speed it actually sounds like he’s talking normally 😂😂😂

So great to hear from both of these guys again. He sounds older of course, but so much clearer than in a long time. Ozzy has years of experience, and few have the staying power like he's got.

This the best I've seen him in awhile. We all love you Ozzy! Please take care of yourself!

Jack turned out great. I'm glad he has his stuff together. Ozzy is incredible. I have been a huge fan since 1968 and he just get funnier and better every year. Great show!

21 year old Ozzy "don't take drugs" 30 year old Ozzy "take more drugs" 😂😂

,you are still coming down from all drugs and alcohol I have been sober from alcohol I was so sick getting everything out of my system puking throwing up for a year proud of you ozzy

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us Ozzy. Love your work!

Saw Ozzy with Halford opening in Toronto, Ozzy wouldnt leave the stage loved the show so fucking much, gave us like 5 encores, fuck yeah been listening to him through my dad all my life, and Sabbath on my own since I was in grade 6, Godly

happy to see he’s doing good. just thought of him after seeing some old clips of him and I expected to find something worse looking for newer footage.

If you look back at him on his reality show and now, he looks unbelievable and also can talk. Great to see the legend back to himself

I loved this

My brain is pulsating from trying to understand him but once youve concentrated enough hes a pretty wise guy

Love this him n his son! Ozzy is Awesome! Snow Patrol is awesome they have one of my favorite songs Just lay here

All he said in the video is as follows: 0:08 "Don't do drugs." from 0:23 - 0:34 "Take more drugs hehe.. I, I did what I did when I was 21 and I did what I did when I was thirty but now I feel better today than I've done in a long time 66 is just a number." What's the secret, how are you still rock and rolling as hard as you are: ' 0:38 - 1:19 "I, honestly I I work out exercise a lot. I go for regular physicals.. call me a hypochondriac, I don't care. I I don't smoke anymore, I don't do drugs anymore, I don't drink booze anymore.. and I and I think that says a lot for why I am here. There's no mysterious fucking.. you know, hex from he-, Satan to gu-[inaudible]... and to be honest with you, I really like being sober 'cause it's like.. people who never take smoke pot an' a lot who think 'I as, I might have a joint with you..' but it's the other way around for me, I been doing dope and booze since I was about 14.. and you know, to be clear headed and.. being ok with being ok." When you left Sabbath -> were you scared people weren't gonna like it: 1:31 - 2:07 "Oh absolutely. I mean. But I've eh said this before, the earliest days of any.. Band thing or whatever mean, are the best 'cause you got everything to gain and nothing to lose and you got time to make a good album. . and whereas when you got this success you got like you got four weeks to get it out so, you kind of get. But people ask me, what advice I could give anybody.. if you are- and all I'll say is, if you are absolutely serious about what you are doing; write as much stuff as you can because once you start going out on the road, you never have enough time to do anything you know." Regret being a musician: 2:09 - 2:37 "No, not at all [pets dog]. It's been the best thing that's ever happened to me. You know when I when I was young I never- I never thought- I I often would think 'wonder what I'll be, will I be a fireman, a bricklayer, idk..'. Then I when I heard the Beetles it changed everything I wanted to be a Beetle. Black Sabbath thing, that's what you gotta consider, that's 45 years old. We just did a sell-out tour, we had our first ever one ever in the United States and [inaudible: but sounds like "all over the country"].. and it was just I mean, Wow!..." Do you like any new music: 2:40 - 4:57 "I like Bruno Mars I like.. s- snow patrol.. I like a couple of them. but it's like, the thing with new stuff, if I like it too much it gets in There so when I'm doing some work- doing some new music for me, [inaudible]. To Me, at my age, there ain't that much new music so- so old ideas are rehearsed.. but you know it's- it's another phase you know. Some of it I like; 70's were great because there wasn't no MTV and there wasn't that many.. bands around and in the 80's you/it ["struck a"?] "posch" it just went.. I mean it said to me: "what do you think is the stage of heavy metal?". Well from 70's, 80's, 90's and now the new millennium, it's completely different every, every decade. Completely. I think it's the computer age has taken over and it's a lot of chea- trickery you know... I mean, you you- I've actually people who sort of [ain't] got any bands and they go "do you wanna jam? - jam, what's that?""well, just playing together", they can't do it, so "I have to consult my computer first". . But it's, that's what's happened; the art of being in a band is Dying I think. I -I've had people at Ozzfest that go "man.. if it wasn't for Sabbath.. we owe you so much." and I've heard them and I go "What, part of that, is influenced by Sabbath?".. there are other music where I'm "oh I get it where they're coming from" but some of it I'm like "what?" but it, the thing about it, it doesn't -it's not the music it's the.. what it says to the people it's like... wh' - metal, or whatever you wanna you call it has never had any rules. We were from.. -I mean consider when we first started in the b -69', it was all flower power and you know, if you go to San Fransisco and wear a flower in your hair and all that... but we come from Birmingham, Aston in Birmingham where it's pollution and rain in a miserable climate and you're like "Fuck Off with this fucking bullshit". So we started to write scary music, that took on thank god." 5:07 - 5:38 "Well it's got the riffs, you gotta have something to play. But it's like, you tell me to not -if you want something to do, if you want me to do something, tell me not to 'cause I've never played by any rules, I have a -my, my soul concern is to get on that stage and give the audience a great day out. That's what.. all I am. I don't wanna get on and fucking ["ban Obama"?].. that's been done, you know? That's for other people. But for me, when I hit the stage, I wanna give them my heart on a plate and that's ["god's on his truth"?]." Edit: Finished translation.

Loved this interview. I'm 29 so I grew up with my family watching the osbournes back in the day when reality TV was a new thing (different times back then lol 😂) makes me feel really old saying things like that lol. But yeah always liked the osbournes since the show I was abit young for ozzies music 🎶 but obviously you've gotta respect him as a legend, and he is a real funny guy too, I bet him and sharron have had some bloody good times together aswell they seem to have a great relationship with each other and with there kids family is what matters after all love 😍 ♥ 👪

Fabulous footage

Ozzy is forever the king and its sad but true that kids will never know about "jamming"

I just love ozzy when he's so lucid like this

Good these pair together. Much love

Jack has changed so much from when he was a teenager, Ozzy is the same

Just understood “wow” on the whole interview. God bless Ozzy

the accent is pure gold !

Much love and respect for Ozzy... one of the true last composers nowadays...

he looks fantastic..

Thank god for subtitles!

yes!!!!! love Ozzy

love u guys

I really appreciate the subtitles on this one.

Great interview and nice camera work. *thumbs up*

Ozzy the man himself !!! great interview Jack

"When I heard the Beatles I wanted to be a Beatle"

it makes me happy seeing ozzy doing so much better

He's so great and spot on about the computer age. I play in a band and yes people still jam,but he's saying a lot of the popular artist and a lot of other people do use computers to make music. He's rite too. Imagine making it big cause you know how to control a computer. Fuck that. Learn an instrument/.

I never listened to Ozzy Osbourne until here recently I always thought his songs were about drugs and stupid stuff and then I listened to the words of crazy train. I was blown away he's not the Prince of darkness he's all about kindness love and everything we should be and then I listened to dreamer and wow the words the meaning it's amazing.

These are great. Ozzy was an innovator.

I love ozzy and jack!! They keep me laughing

Really was a good interview. Ozzy is absolutely a Great Legend! Thx Sharon!....SHAARRONNN!!! LOL

Thank God for subtitles!

I'm impressed with jacks interviewing style very natural

Love these guys.

ozzy osbourne: we love you. we as in... the world. i, and hundreds of millions were lucky enough to be on this planet during your career. you have brought us so much Irreplaceable inimitable music, so manny laughs and great stories, i couldnt imagine a world without ozzy. of course you realize the roles that randy, jake, and zakk have played in the creation of some of the most timeless pieces of music ever conceived. but it was you who discovered these artists, and helped them disover themselves. ill probably never get to meet you, or tell you any o this face to face. idk, maybe you will thumb through the coments and see this someday.but its something i want to get out, its something ive always wanted to say to you personaly. your impact on this and the last century as an artist, entertainer, and human being are untouchable ozzy.

OZZY FOR EVER !

Love OZZY YOU'RE THE MAN!!!

And that's why we love you Ozz.

Jack should do interviews for tv, because he is good at it.

GREAT INTERVIEW

Lmao 2:13 ozzy pulling the dog off 😂

I love ozzy osbourne so much

Good to see ozzy in good health. He always keeps it 100%

Ozzy is a real gentleman 👍👍

I just love ozzy, I think he’s down to earth

I like when people sitting on their ass in front of a computer, doing nothing and going nowhere, say they know better than a rock star about rock.

I've seen Ozzy perform luckily at Ozzfest. The guy loved being there, and was very appreciative.

his heart on a plate... and that s why we love him sooooooooooooo much :-)

I love Ozzy.

I LOVE THIS MAN

Ozzy cool guy,thank you for your music

...he's an amazing guy!...a great artist...a true legend... i just love him! :-)...

Oh man the Prince of Darkness like Bruno Mars.

Omg I adore this man! I love his son too both amazing men!

I wonder if Ozzy watches any of his interviews and says to himself "wait...wtf did I just say there?".

Love you ozzy

The ultimate legend of Rock!

I love you Ozzy. Take care of that health man.

Ozzy is the real deal . I like how he tells it how it is . Ozzy was never a big "metal" fan . He was a rock'n'roll fan . He just happen to influence some great metal . In a weird way , that is pretty cool
