when Ozzy met Paul for the first time
in 2001 while waiting to go on the Howard Stern Show
and he turned into an awkward fan boy
—
While dulcet harmonies of the Beatles may not have always been associated with his hard-rock sound and dark lyrics, Ozzy always held up the Fab Four as his biggest inspiration. Black Sabbath, the band that made Ozzy famous, achieved mainstream success in the early 70s, and it was decades before the singer came face to face with one of his idols and main inspirations, McCartney, describing the experience as “like meeting Jesus Christ”.
When asked what it was like to meet Ozzy Osbourne, Paul McCartney jokingly said “it was like meeting Satan.”
While I’ve never been a huge fan of metal music,
I do admire musicians of all kinds.
I also admire musicians who admire each other.
RIP Ozzy
