Offenbach, Germany, April 27, 1989: Ozzy Osbourne, rock's prince of darkness, onstage. Years before his TV show showed the "family man" side of the British rocker, Osbourne insisted in an interview that he suffered from image problems. "I'm not into satanism," he said, "I never have been. What's the difference between me and somebody like Christopher Lee and Vincent Price?" He did admit, though, that he'll probably be remembered as the guy who "bit the heads off various creatures."
