## Transcript

When Black Sabbath first formed 40 odd years ago, we just thought that we were used to rehearse across the road from a movie picture house. And Tony Iommi said, isn't it funny that people get, like to go and see horror films? They get scared. Why don't we just start writing scary music? And that's really the way it started. We weren't practising witchcraft. We didn't realise it was for real, you know?
