Five years later, the news seems to have caught up with Ozzy once he finally came out of his coma. Limey fat-head and author Joel McIver of "The Quietus" sat down with Osbourne to discuss the incident.
Ozzy Osbourne: "You know what? Unbeknown to me, every night he was going on stage slagging me off. And that wasn't fair. If he didn't like the fuckin' tour, he should have said "I'm jumping [off] the fuckin' tour," but to go on stage and fuckin' slag me off for no reason… I'd never said a fuckin' bad thing to him. The bass player [Steve Harris] came round at the last gig and said "I'm sorry about Bruce," and I'm like, "What the fuck are you talking about?" Nobody had told me, you know. I said, "You know what? I don't understand what the fuck you're talking about here."
And so, I mean, Sharon got pissed off… it was nothing to do with me. I suppose Sharon got pissed off. I'll back my wife up to the hilt, but I didn't know what was going down. But you know what? [MAIDEN were getting] a few fuckin' quid out of that Ozzfest. If you've got something to talk to me about, be a man. Come to my face and say, "I think you're a fuckin' asshole." Don't be a fuckin' idiot. It's so pathetically childish.
Unfortunately the rest of the band had to suffer: I suppose they were pissed off with him. But it's wrong: I've never, ever, ever spoken to the guy… No, I tell a lie, one night they were about to go on stage and I didn't know anything was going down, and I said to them, "Have a good show, guys." But I don't like all that shit going down. If you don't like me, just say "I don't like you, I'm doing this festival but I think you're a cunt." That's all right. But to go on my stage and start slagging me off — that ain't fair. They weren't fucking slagging me off when they got paid every fucking night."
To this day I don't understand what the fuckin' beef was. I just don't get it. To go on the Ozzfest and slag [people] off, that's crazy. I really think he needs a fuckin' psychiatrist if he does that, he's fucking nuts. It's an irresponsible fuckin' thing to do. Sharon must have got pissed off with this cunt, you know."
Ozzy must really enjoy the fact that his old lady fights his battles for him, either because he is a big pussy, or is simply gracious enough to turn the other cheek and forget about it. In either case, it is disappointing when two well-respected groups of this genre take shots at one another rather than coming together. Still, can you imagine the image of eggs being hurled at Maiden right as they're playing the chorus of "Powerslave" and Dickhead-son gets it on the chin:
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave/I don't wanna die, I'm a God/Why can't I live on/When the Life *SPLAT*
Sharon Osbourne calls Bruce Dickinson a nasty word!
