(Metal Underground) Ozzy Osbourne spoke to Cameron Adams from Australia's Herald Sun recently about a number of topics including his current album Black Rain. While Black Rain made No. 3 on the US Billboard charts, like everyone else, Osbourne is battling lower sales in the modern era. "I've been suffering terribly from people downloading it. If they don't find something to stop it, people won't be able to make records. There won't be any new bands. How are they going to survive? "I'm an old-timer, I've been doing it 40 years now, but new bands are going to suffer. It's ridiculous, you could be doing it for nothing. Sharon said I'd be astounded to find out how many bands are touring because you can download a record but you can't beat a rock show. "I've never done in a long time as many live shows as I'm doing now. This year I've done 90 shows." - now witness Ozzy contradict what he just said!
