00:00 How do you feel about the Black Sabbath bench in Birmingham?
00:05 Well, I mean, it's an achievement, again, I mean, Black Sabbath,
00:08 but we all come from Birmingham, Aston precisely.
00:14 But, Andy, it's... I don't know if I can thank you enough, you know.
00:20 Did you ever think at any time that in your hometown
00:24 there would be a bench with huge, huge pictures of Black Sabbath on it?
00:30 Never, never. I mean, it's fantastic.
00:33 And it's become a tourist attraction because people go and sit
00:37 and have their picture taken to whichever member of Black Sabbath they want.
00:41 That's really cool. It's really cool.
00:44 So your early experiences in Birmingham?
00:47 Well, my early experiences...
00:49 I didn't go to Birmingham city centre much as a kid,
00:53 but it was like a special occasion.
00:56 I remember being in Aston more than...
01:01 Birmingham centre, yeah.
01:03 I remember when there was football matches on at the villa,
01:07 we used to mine cars and get like a tip at the end of it.
01:11 I remember my father going out the pub singing on the bus.
01:17 The thing about Aston, a lot of things have changed about it,
01:22 but my house in Ludd's Road is still there.
01:26 I used to go up there all the time when I had a chance to go and...
01:31 I showed you that, didn't I?
01:33 Yeah, we've been to the house, the kids have been to the house.
01:36 The only thing I still remember was the beer.
01:38 The what?
01:39 The beer.
01:40 Oh, the beer. You aren't having any beer, are you?
01:42 I know.
01:43 No beer at all. So water for you.
01:46 Oh, yeah.
01:47 Lots of cold water.
01:49 No beer from Birmingham.
01:52 So when do you think you're going to be there?
01:54 When you go. I told you, if I have to crawl on the plough and you go,
01:58 I'm coming with you.
