Ozzy Osbourne is not happy with the Black Sabbath reunions.
Although decades have already passed, Black Sabbath fans still want to see the members perform together again on one stage. The band members somewhat made it come true, though, by collaborating despite missing one member or two.
Amid the public's excitement and happiness whenever Black Sabbath members reunite, Osbourne reportedly did not feel the same at all.
The rocker, who underwent a life-altering surgery earlier this year, recently had an interview with Stereogum and recalled the first time he performed with Black Sabbath members again - Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward - during the US's Live Aid in 1985.
At that time, it marked his sixth year since he was fired from the band, and he enjoyed success as a solo artist instead.
According to Osbourne, he and his wife Sharon were not on good terms with the talk show host's father, Don Arden, who also served as the band's manager. Arden reportedly presented him with a lawsuit at Live Air.
"It wasn't a great experience. It was more like, 'I'll have my revenge on them'... Or no, it wasn't revenged. It was just the first time I'd seen them all since the breakup. It wasn't a life-shattering experience where I went, 'F**k, why did I go and get fired?'... It was just Sabbath," he said, as quoted by Ultimate Classic Rock and Culture.
Ozzy Osbourne Felt He Was NOT Important in Black Sabbath
Although he still had a fruitful career with the band, the rocker reportedly never felt important in the band. Unfortunately, he thought he was just a sideman for the band's shows that, although he had good melodies in mind, he never felt he was on an equal part with them because he could not play any instrument.
Despite having that bad memory, he revealed that everything is all in the past now as they are not necessary anymore.
As for the reunions with the band, he admitted that he only did it for the fans who never got to see the original band but wanted to experience the music being played by the original lineup.
In fact, he said after the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, that he could not imagine working with Iommi in any way.
