Ozzy Osbourne is the metal god, but Black Sabbath sadly have not listened to Slipknot, Ghost, or any of today’s great metal bands. What would Corey Taylor think about this? We’ll have to wait and see! They made the remarks at the new 50 Years of Black Sabbath exhibit in Birmingham, where Tony Iommi revealed dark text messages Ozzy Osbourne sent him.

Home of Metal founder and exhibition curator Lisa Meyer welcomed guests to the opening event on Tuesday and thanked everyone who helped to make it happen, including Capsule, Arts Council England, Laney Amplification and the Heritage Lottery Fund.

“We have people attending from all over the world, from Mexico to New Zealand and more,” Home of Metal founder and exhibition curator Lisa Meyer said at the opening event (via Express and Star) as she thanked Capsule, Arts Council England, Laney Amplification and the Heritage Lottery Fund for helping make the display happen.

Iommi said, “I tend to listen to the more older stuff really. More the classic stuff than the newer stuff because I relate to that more.”

Geezer Butler said as well in the Louder Sound piece, “I don’t particularly [listen to metal]. The Beatles, The Stones, and The Kinks, that’s my kind of music.”

“It’s absolutely amazing because we were put down by the press for so long, we didn’t really care about that because we always sold out at gigs and stuff in America. And it wasn’t until bands like Anthrax covered ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ and Metallica cited us as their influence, we were going, ‘We’re being praised?!'”
