I was honest. I said I didn&#8217;t like Black Sabbath\u2026 I don&#8217;t like people who bite the heads off bats. I just don&#8217;t. I think it&#8217;s disgusting, and I&#8217;ve said that again now. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI know he&#8217;s dead, and he can&#8217;t come back and go, \u2018Yeah, I&#8217;m sorry I bit the heads off bats,\u2019 if he ever did.
