“I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.”

“The music, I have no idea": Roger Waters says about Ozzy Osbourne and his group

Roger Waters, the frontman for the Floyd band from 1968 until his departure in 1985 stated that he never cared about neither Ozzy Osbourne nor English heavy metal band:

“Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever that state that he was in his whole life. We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fu**.”

This is not the first time that Roger Waters has spoken about Black Sabbath. He aired his opinion about the band’s first single Evil Woman, dismissing it as only worthy of a first listen:

"Well, well, well… I’m speechless – well, almost. It’s got that kind of Dragnet, Peter Gunn, American detective series beginning. You keep thinking it’s going to start. You think that for the first minute, but then, if you are really perceptive, you realise it isn’t going to start, and that’s all there is.”

In 2017, Tony Iommi, guitarist and founder of the Black Sabbath band, revealed that Water’s review of their first album was especially harsh, seeing that they were all in the music industry together. Iommi revealed that he was shocked that the negative review on their album didn't come from the press but from another artist:

"I used to read the slaggings we’d get and I’d just think ‘Why?.’ There was one moment that really hurt, and that didn’t actually come from the press. It came from Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters.”

He added:

"He reviewed Paranoid when it came out as a single because he was examining the singles that week for a music paper. He gave it such a terrible review. I thought, ‘Blimey!’ Hearing that from a fellow musician seemed really harsh.”
