| Dio
Vs Ozzy |
Blabbermouth reports: Legendary heavy metal
vocalist Ronnie James Dio recently spoke to the U.K.'s Terrorizer magazine
about George W. Bush and Ozzy Osbourne amongst many other things.
On Ozzy, Dio stated, "He's not what I am,
he's not what Ian Gillan is, he's not what Rob Halford is. If being a performer
is stumbling around on stage, then I guess he's a performer. His character
has become a characterization of himself, so people go to see if he'll
fall off the stage, how many times he'll stumble or how many buckets of
water he can throw. What has that got to do with music?"[see full story
