A lot of people have been talking about how hard Ozzy used to party. There’s no denying that. A couple things that I would like to point out are that he never did heroin and he very rarely went on stage completely wasted. Here’s a 2008 clip of he and I talking about the US Festival back in 1983. He seems a bit critical of Van Halen for getting $1 million and going on stage drunk.

Throwback Thursday clip. This interview took place backstage at the Mohegan Sun before a concert Ozzy was about to give. Edited by Mike Strigl
