Transcript

00:00Hello friends, this is Henry Rollins, the face you've come to know so well.

00:13Actually watching MTV, you wouldn't know my face because you people never play my goddamn videos.

00:17On a much more wonderful note, I'm backstage in wonderful, cosmopolitan, throbbing Birmingham, England

00:25with the one and only Bill Ward, drummer in Black Sabbath.

00:30Historically, when was the last time this lineup did a complete set?

00:34Oh yeah, okay, me and us were trying to figure that out the other day.

00:38I think it was...

00:38Would it be the Never Say Die tour?

00:39Yeah.

00:40Was that 79 to 80?

00:41Yes, 1979 I believe that was.

00:44Right.

00:44Yeah, could be wrong, probably am, but I think 79's a good guess.

00:48What was it like to revisit this music?

00:51As in, did you have to, was a lot of memorization, or were you able to bring musical experience

00:58you've learned over the years to these older songs?

01:01A little bit of both.

01:02It's incredibly nostalgic.

01:05It's very warm.

01:07I mean, you know, whenever we're playing these things, I get a lot of warm memories.

01:10Follow me now and you will not regret

01:14Leaving the lights you left before you met

01:18You are the first to help, this love is mine

01:23Forever with me, feel the end of life

01:27Your love for me and God

01:32Guide to me, feel the end of life

01:38Before you run away

01:41I'm going to be your

01:45I'm going to be your

01:50I'm going to be your

01:56Hello, I'm Tony, the guitar player

02:05It's out of tune anyway, so

02:11Go on, carry on

02:12Have you been thinking at all today about the idea of doing more gigs?

02:16You know, going out into the continent or stateside or whatever?

02:20I think we'd like to

02:21I think we'd like to go out and do

02:23Well, I think we will

02:24Go out and do more shows

02:26It was better than it ever

02:27It was, I think, before

02:29We got on a lot better

02:31Personalities were a lot easier to deal with

02:34Right

02:35It was really good

02:36We had a good time

02:37Playing in different lineups that I've had

02:39Within Black Sabbath as well

02:42Different members

02:42Good players, great players coming in

02:44Right

02:45But it's never been quite the same as Bill and Guido played

02:49There's that unique thing that when we're all together

02:53It sort of creates that sound

02:55Going home

02:56In the sky

02:58And suddenly I got a fright

03:05Yeah, I looked the wind

03:10But surprised what I saw

03:11Very rude, so then you heard that drop

03:18Tonight was a very special night for me

03:27This is the one that I'm proud of anyway

03:29Tonight I just want to take this gig and just wrap it up in a bundle

03:37Put it in my mind's eye

03:38But when I'm on my deathbed

03:42I'll go, yeah, that was a great feeling

03:44If I had a last thought to have

03:48Before I departed from this earthly domain

03:51That would be the thought that I would love to have that gig

03:53That's how much I feel about that gig

03:55It was just a wonderful feeling

03:57It was a great show

04:00Everyone had a good time

04:01And we got it on tape

04:02So

04:03God bless you

04:04Go to bed a happy man

04:05You did great

04:05Oh, I am a happy man

04:06More than a happy man

04:07Absolutely

04:07God bless you
