"Ozzy and I were like a couple of naughty schoolkids." Zakk Wylde shares his favourite (not so) wholesome memory of hanging out with The Prince Of Darkness

Zakk Wylde/Ozzy Osbourne.

When you've known someone like Ozzy Osbourne for over 30 years, it's safe to say you've probably got a few stories to tell. Longtime Ozz solo guitarist and metal icon in his own right Zakk Wylde certainly had a thing or two to say when asked by Metal Hammer readers what his favourite wholesome moment with The Prince Of Darkness was for this month's People Vs feature in the new issue of Metal Hammer.

“I remember we played the Budokan [Arena] in Tokyo. I’d always have a bag of beer with me, just in case anywhere we were going didn’t have beer," Zakk recalls. "So, Oz comes in the room after the gig. He goes ‘Zakky, Zakky… you got any beers?’ I go, ‘Yeah, but I’m not giving you one here. You’re going to get us fired! Mom’s [Sharon Osbourne] right across the hall – she’s going to come and see the two of us drinking, is that going to be good?’"
