Ozzy Osbourne Wants A Duet With Paul McCartney:
Billy Morrison: “Is there people that you’d like to do a duet with?”
Ozzy Osbourne: “Paul McCartney.”
Morrison: “Yeah. We’ve put that out into the ether before and I think it’s good that we have this show so we can both say, ‘Paul, if you’re listening, it’s about time.'”
Osbourne: “No, I would be honoured but I couldn’t.”
Morrison: “Why not? What we were talking about before. Put it out into the universe. You never know. I mean, I know you’ve met Paul. He was happy to meet you, right?”
Osbourne: “He’s a really nice man. I was like, ‘Grrr.'”
Morrison: “Yeah, but now you wouldn’t be. I think the duet would be good. You’re primarily not a duet kind of guy, are you?”
Osbourne: “The best duet I think I’ve ever done is Lita Ford.”
Morrison: “Lita Ford. That was a good one. Also, your daughter.”
Osbourne: “Oh, yeah.”
Morrison: “That was a good, you know what? Maybe you are a duet kind of guy.”
Osbourne: “I don’t really like doing duets.”
Morrison: “Well, you have a very, your vocal style is very you. You’re double track. You know what you’re doing. I remember watching you doing harmonies. Oh my god, on ‘Crack Cocaine’. Remember when we recorded it up at Steve’s and we are just getting over watching you doing the lead and the moment. It must be in your head, Ozzy. Was it, can you hear it when you’re…”
Osbourne: “Sometimes I can. Sometimes I can. I’ve been studying The Beatles and Paul had the high notes, but Lennon had the low harmony and I thought, ‘Fuck me. I always go high.'”
Billy Morrison: “Well, you do always go high.”
Ozzy Osbourne On David Bowie:
Billy Morrison: “Bowie used to do concept albums, you know, albums where like…”
Ozzy Osbourne: “The Bowie I like was Ziggy Stardust and up to that it was okay, but it was like, what’s the word I’m looking for?”
Morrison: “Well, to me, Bowie changed his persona so many times. I like some of them, I don’t like others and I think that’s fair to say.”
Osbourne: “I mean, he’s fair share of bullshit as well, you know? But you know what? God bless his soul. Remember where he used to go for breakfast?”
Morrison: “Yeah, Hugo’s.”
Osbourne: “Going to Hugo’s with Sharon one day and I hear, ‘Ozzy.’ What the fuck is that? Now, we look across the road, it’s David Bowie.”
Morrison: “That’s pretty cool. David Bowie going, ‘Hey, hello.'”
