Can you talk about how you found the Sabbath sound?

Black Sabbath was originally a six piece 12-bar blues band. Blues and metal are very close, in respect to how the guitar works. But for me there was Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker and the early Fleetwood Mac—they were a blues band with a bottleneck guitar. And the rest of the band was very keen on jazz, which I wasn't crazy about. But when we first used to jam, there was a lot of jazzy Sabbath.
