Full article:

Alan Lanier (Blue Oyster Cult) : When we started, we copped a lot from Black Sabbath. I don't think our band sounds anything at all like Black Sabbath, though, but we used to like them a lot because Ozzy Osborne used to work in a slaughterhouse and that had a kind of poetic symbolity for us.
