New York: Ozzy Osbourne`s soon-to-be released autobiography "I Am Ozzy" delves into drugs, sex and Satanism.
"What you read here is what dribbled out of the jelly I call my brain when I asked it for my life story," Ozzy has written in the book.
The tome, published by Grand Central Publishing, sees the rocker crediting infamous serial killer Charles Manson with helping Black Sabbath bag their record deal, reports the New York Daily News.
"The Manson murders were all over the telly, so anything with a dark edge was in big demand," Ozzy wrote.
He doesn’t even resist from pointing out that Manson and he could have been pals but for the murders.
He says: "Before he turned psycho, Manson had been a big part of the LA music scene. If he hadn`t gone to jail, we probably would have ended up hanging out with him."
Recollecting the time when his band first played their song titled "Black Sabbath", he writes: "All the girls ran out of the venue screaming. Isn`t the whole point of being in a band to get a shag, not to make chicks run away?"
He adds: "I never got good-looking chicks…We`d get beer bottles thrown at us, not frilly underwear."
The book also reveals how Ozzy bit off the head of a dove and a bat. Killing of stray cats and taking a shotgun to a coop`s worth of chickens are also part of the account.
But Ozzy hardly cares what critics say of his tome.
He says: "One of the few good things about being dyslexic…is that when I say, `I don`t read reviews, I mean `I DON`T READ REVIEWS`!"
