Don’t mess with the Osbournes. On Tuesday, Jack Osbourne had some charged words for Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd co-founder said in the press that he “never did” care about Black Sabbath and “couldn’t give a fuck” about Ozzy Osbourne.
“Hey Roger Waters, fuck you,” Jack wrote on Instagram. “How pathetic and out of touch you’ve become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press.”
“My father always thought you were a cunt,” he added, using the hashtag #fuckrogerwaters. “Thanks for proving him right.”
In a recent interview with The Independent Ink, Waters seemed to have some pointed words about Osbourne, and also Black Sabbath’s music. “Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life,” he said in the interview. “We’ll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn’t give a fuck.”
Waters added: “I don’t care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn’t care less, you know.” (To be clear, the bat incident happened during Ozzy’s solo career, not while in Black Sabbath.)
Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22 at age 76 of a heart attack “out of hospital” and suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. The certificate, filed by his daughter Aimee Osbourne in London, listed his occupation as “Songwriter, Performer and Rock Legend.”
Osbourne spoke highly of Pink Floyd throughout his life, and called “Money” one of his favorite rock songs in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2004. Meanwhile, Waters has seemingly always been a Black Sabbath hater, and reportedly gave a mean review of their debut song, “Evil Woman,” in 1970, according to Far Out Magazine.
“Well, well, well… I’m speechless – well, almost…” Waters said at the time. “You keep thinking it’s going to start. You think that for the first minute, but then, if you are really perceptive, you realise it isn’t going to start, and that’s all there is.”
