Ozzy Osbourne had some thoughts on 9/11, President George Bush and ISIS in an expletive-filled interview with Shortlist.
In the interview, Osbourne discusses the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I wasn't scared, I was excited!" he said. "It was my kind of craziness, you know," reports Radio.com.
The Black Sabbath frontman continued, describing the scene before him as he stepped outside his hotel, calling it "quite desolate."
"I remember standing on the steps of the hotel, and - you know when you see an old cowboy film and that tumbleweed rolls past on the ground?" he asked. "There was newspapers just floating around on the streets. It was so f**king weird. Everybody just backed off Manhattan because they didn't know if it was an all-out thing or what."
After his quotes went viral, Osbourne had this to say, according to the New York Daily News:
"I apologize to anyone who may see these quotes and believe this is actually how I feel," Osbourne posted later on his Facebook page.
"Please know that I would never want to offend or hurt anyone - that was never or would ever be my intention. You would think that at my age I would finally realize that any conversation with a journalist can be twisted, reprinted and made into another story.
"It's another life lesson learned."
In the Shortlist interview, Osbourne apparently had some not-so-kind words for the President of the United States at that time.
"George Bush, I never quite got his deal," he continued, reports Radio.com. "The thing is, I don't suppose he expected World War III to begin when he got voted in, did he? It was a bit of a shocker, a kick in the pants. He hadn't been in office more than five minutes and 9/11 went down."
The rocker's feelings about ISIS are clearer. "I've come to the conclusion that it's in mankind to try to kill each other for one thing or another," he said. "And I think sooner or later one of these crazy f**kers is going to get a nuclear weapon or some f**king thing, and f**k a lot of people up. That's in our nature. I hope it won't happen, but it looks like it could happen if they get it."
Osbourne did the interview to promote his new "Memoirs of a Madman," due for release on Tuesday, Oct. 14.
