(box spinning)
(box breaking)
- All right, Ozzy,
we're gonna do somethin' a little fun here.
Somethin' a little different.
This is the mystery box.
Now, what the mystery box is,
is, I'm gonna open it, yeah, it's a little weird,
I'm gonna open it up,
and I'm gonna pull out some different items
for you to take a look at,
hopefully it'll jog your memory a little bit,
and maybe give us a story, or a memory about this--
- I'll bet a fuckin' rubber bat comes out.
- No no no.
(audience laughing)
We would never do that to you, Ozzy.
Here we go, first thing I'm gonna pull out here, is this.
You recognize this?
- Yeah, the first Black Sabbath album.
- That's it.
What do you remember about this?
- I remember unloading equipment from the van,
'cause we were on the way to a ferry to go to Europe.
And we'd never been in a studio before,
so we just set up and played.
It was like a live album without the audience.
And in 12 hours it was done.
- Well we definitely remember this album, right guys?
(audience clapping)
Oh yeah.
All right, what about this?
- [Ozzy] Oh my God.
- You know who that is?
- My wife and I.
(audience clapping)
The love of my life.
She really is the love of my life.
Nobody else could put up with me and my fucking...
(laughing)
- Look at how young you guys are in this picture.
- Oh, I was young once.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] Where was this at?
- [Ozzy] Hawaii.
- [Interviewer] Hawaii, yeah.
- [Ozzy] Maui.
- [Interviewer] I can see you with the lei.
That's awesome.
What about this?
- "Diary Of A Madman".
- What do you remember about that?
- [Ozzy] Gettin' fucked up every day.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] Oh, man.
That doesn't look like you're fucked up.
- [Ozzy] That was my son from my previous marriage.
- Oh, really?
- [Ozzy] He's now 47 or something.
- 47, wow.
That's incredible.
All right, let's see what else we've got here.
How about this?
- Family snapshot.
- [Interviewer] This was a groundbreaking reality show.
- Yeah, but you know, how that happened was,
we did "Cribs" over at MTV
and it kept getting asked to replay it again.
So they just said, "Why don't you do an extended "Cribs?"
And that was it.
I remember three years of having a film crew
living in your fucking house ain't very much...
You go for a piss and you're like this.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] Did you enjoy doing the show?
- At first, but then it got old really quick, you know.
- I can imagine.
Very cool.
Well, this one,
this says, "Prompt a video to be played."
What could this be?
I guess we'll go ahead and watch.
- [Ozzy] So Jack, this is the last show for me, man.
- [Interviewer] What do you remember about that?
- That was Red Rocks.
That was on the No More Tears tour,
which was about 25 years ago.
Now Jack's got three little girls of his own, you know.
- That's hard to believe.
I mean, when you look at him right there and you go,
wow, that's pretty crazy.
- [Ozzy] He's a great kid.
Great guy.
- [Interviewer] And why did you choose him to be
in that portion of the video?
- I can't remember. - You don't remember?
- It's fucking 25 years ago.
- Well, let's keep going in the box here.
See what else we've got.
What do you recall about this?
- [Ozzy] It's me, I think.
- Yeah, that is you.
- [Ozzy] It's just me.
I don't know.
- [Interviewer] Now, do you remember getting these tattoos?
- I did 'em myself.
- [Interviewer] You did these yourself?
- Yeah.
- [Interviewer] How'd you do it?
- Ink and I drew it on
and stick the fucking needle in.
- [Interviewer] And how old were you when you did that?
- [Ozzy] About 14, 15.
- 14, ooh, did it hurt?
- My ear did when my fucking father found out though.
(laughing)
- [Interviewer] You got in a little bit of trouble
on that one then huh?
- Fuck yeah.
(laughing)
- Is that the only self-inflicted tattoos you did?
- I did that, I did that,
I did a bunch on my arm.
- [Interviewer] Just on your hands?
- My arms, yeah.
- [Interviewer] Oh wow.
That's unbelievable, Ozzy.
And finally,
our final mystery item,
is of course this.
- [Audience Members] Yeah.
- [Interviewer] Which is the new album.
- [Ozzy] Yeah, "Ordinary Man".
- [Interviewer] When you walk away and you think about--
- That album, quite possibly saved my life.
- [Interviewer] Saved your life, how so?
- Because when I fucked my neck up,
I was lying on the bed
and I was in absolute unbearable agony.
Wouldn't take any pain medication.
'Cause I like it too much.
(laughing)
So when it come to that,
it got my juices flowing again.
So I didn't have time,
I wasn't going, "Poor me, poor me, I'll never walk again."
And all that shit.
It got me motivated.
I'm doing another album next month.
And I thought to myself,
well while I can't do gigs,
I might as well do something musical, you know.
So I could make an album, you know.
- Now when you're in that physical shape, though,
how are you able to still perform
and sing the way you're able to sing?
- Well I sat on a chair,
and Andrew was so patient with me.
He was great.
- I mean, it's extraordinary
from what we were able to hear today
and everything that we've heard over your entire career.
This is a remarkable album,
and just congratulations on all the success with it.
- [Ozzy] Thank you very much.
