Bob and Lee are unsung heroes.....Sharon be damned.
BOb, Lee and Randy what a songwriting trio......how lucky was Ozzy ..again.
Lee being able to do melody lines.
I wonder if Lee got fired because Ozzy realized his role was going to be diminished
I don’t care what Sharon says…. Those first two albums aren’t Ozzy albums, they are Blizzard Of Ozz albums!
Lee was a legend. Not only with Ozzy, but especially Uriah Heep
the Uriah Heep music is underappreciated
I didn't recognize him until I saw that still shot of him with Uriah Heep at Shepherton Studios. I was like "ohhhhh! That's him!"
People need to realize Diary of a Madman, arguably the greatest rock and metal album ever written, that Lee, Bob and Randy really carried that album, Ozzy could not even come up or get some of the melodies so Lee jumped in. It was a collaborative album among lee, Bob and Randy and that is why Darth Hideous firing Lee and Bob was just a colossal mistake, the band was on the path to being one of the greatest ever.
The third album would have been insane.
Darth Hideous is the reason for what happened to the " Blizzard of OZZ band.
What a shame on her part . RIP , Randy & Lee ❤
she ruined a great band, and i believe now she fired Lee and subsequently Bob because she realized Ozzy was only needed for vocals, ....the band could do melodies with Lee and write without Ozzy being needed which really started with You Said it All during soundcheck as ozzy slept off a hangover.
No one is giving Sharon and Ozzy credit for honoring a dying man's request.... I mean come on. They are such lowlifes
Great interview.. Rest Well Lee.
A leaguer
I heard that Sharon even wanted Lee off Diary and pressured Max to take his tracks off and threatened Max. Max held his guns.
@gordon9177I read Rudy and Tommy refused to re record Bob and Lee's parts.
@@markbro4427 and when she had Trujillo and Mike Bordin re-record the tracks, shows shows what a C U Next Thursday she really is.
My friend since school is Anth 'Tony' Dennis. Ozzys personal assistant for about 30 years. Darth Hideous sacked him on a whim with no severance pay. Kicked out the door without a bean. Vile woman.
🙏🏻 🌟 🙏
is this true? he got sacked? I always wondered what happened to him, I remember him doing interviess
Ozzy did not stand up for him? What was the reason given? she is a POS
Really people should laud Bruce Dickinson for standing up to her on Ozzfest , she is a vile POS
this is why I read the comment sections on these videos always learn something, Darth Hideous is a POS
Lee was incredible on those 2 blizzard albums, fantastic drummer and Bob daisley too🤘
I watched that lee kerslake doc. Last year I believe ! It was very good! He was due those albums ! ⚡️space ace Ron ⚡️
the fact he had to essentially beg for them and disclose he was dying to get them
And also there is no doubt in my mind, Sharon made him sign some sort of NDA saying he would not bad mouth her or ozzy anymore because he did a 180 on Sharon after this....we all know she is a POS
Sharon and Ozzy are terrible people. People like them doing good in life is why I don't believe in karma.
Sharon is the one just like her father, Don. Ozzy Don't know what day it is. He would pay Bob. He knows he owes him the money. He never wrote lyrics in his life.
@@Fuxerz Ozzy is a lowlife too he has lied about his contributions, he flat out told Jake to pay it forward on screwing people over. He used to beat Sharon....
Darth Hideous takes the heat but Ozzy signed off on the re-recording of those masterpieces out of spite and it is his quote in the press release sayin g he was tired of Bob Daisley and called him some pejorative terms
I am glad you included Ozzy in that he is as bad as Darth Hideous
Well, people misuse the word karma...they mean comeuppance or just rewards. In the Hindu religion, karma doesn't bite you in the ass until your reincarnation. So if you believe in all that, Sharon and Ozzy will pay in their next life.
@@alexhicks5889 No Karma has non religious based definition too. Sharon and Ozzy are lowlifes
Lee and the whole band signed my Blizzard of Ozz album at one of the in store signing sessions Bob spoke of . I've been a drummer for over 40 years now so it was a huge deal for me to meet Lee when I was 17 years old ( I'd already seen him play incredibly well live twice with Uriah Heep by then ) . I saw 3 Blizzard of Ozz shows on the first UK tour . Newcastle City Hall , Newcastle Mayfair and also Sunderland Mayfair . Lee's performances showcased some of the greatest feel drenched high energy rock playing that I've ever witnessed before or since ( I've seen them all ) ... Great memories .
Thanks for sharing! That is very cool
@@artistsonrecord ... An absolute pleasure ! ...
it's a crime the Osbournes refuse to release the Southampton shows out of spite....
How good was that band, would have been one of the greatest.
Lee added a lot more than just drumming, Diary is a masterpiece.
I was at all 3 of those gigs too! Tremendous. First one at the City Hall was the best though, even though both Mayfairs were mental as the Mayfair always was.
@@paulwhite7972 ... Yeah , I agree .
He shouldn't have ever had to wait for those platinum records all those years.
it is embarrassing the way they treated him, basically begging on his deathbed for them.
Also that anemic acknowledgement by Ozzy's social media account when Lee died, having to mention they had not spoken in nearly 40 years, ya why is that Ozzy...because you are a lowlife ...
One quote will always stick with me about Ozzy(Sharon)..
“I highly doubt very much, Ozzy could carry a tune even if you put a radio in his suitcase” 😂😂
Ozzy could sing ..he was not tone deaf like a Roth. Ozzy has melody, he does not have vibrato, and he is a limited live singer but he has an iconic voice.
How about Don Arden when asked if Ozzy helped write the lyrics Don essentially said Ozzy was a functionally illiterate.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Ozzy does have an iconic voice, and a good voice, cant knock him for his singing, just everything else
How could Sharon fire Lee? The intro to Over The Mountain is incredible, classic. The lineup never should have changed. Ozzy said in an interview at the time how he always wanted Aldridge as his drummer so that's why Lee was let go. After you make two classic albums with one lineup, what is the sense in changing it?
you want to know what happened? Sourcing.....Ozzy complained about having to do two shows in some locations and the rigorous touring schedule concernd his voice would not hold up. Lee voiced the concerns about the shows and schedule to Sharon, and Sharon used it against him to label him a complainer. Bob and lee were savvy musicians, and Lee wanted to get paid as he was promised. Darth Hideous had it out for him.
So the issue happened when Steve MAchat was shopping the band to a U.S. label for a distribution deal for those two albums, he had a band Blizzard of ozz, and instead of he only signed Ozzy to the CBS deal fearing needless haggling with the lawyers for each guy: Randy, Bob and Lee., so he effectively screwed over the band, empowered Ozzy and Sharon and they were able to pain the story of it being a solo band which is a blatant lie
Money....get rid of the originals and get hired guns in on a wage. Wendy Dio did the same with the Dio originals.
@@markbro4427 Dio not the same situation Jimmy and Carmine stuck around
3:07 demo version of I Don’t Know! Wow! That is a cool little riff Randy threw in there! I really hope we get to hear all of Bob’s Holy Grail tapes of Randy one day. Ozzy and Sharon and Jack saying the quality is poor is such a lie. They were going to put it in the box set so they clearly knew fans would love it. Great interviews! Thanks so much for doing these. Long live the band Blizzard Of Ozz.. RIP Randy and Lee.
ya is that from the Holy grail? Now we are onto something ....
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracleit must be from the Grail. Glad Bob is putting more snippets out. Hopefully the entire thing can come out.
@@DeepBlueAndRedShadows someone said it is most likey from the demo the band had to submit to Jet before lee. It sounds awesome
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle that’s what I’m thinking too. I think Bob said that there were four songs on that demo to Jet. The drums have a different tone and feel to them which is likely since like you said it’s likely that tape before Lee. Randy’s tone and playing sounds incredible!
It makes me so angry whenever i hear about Sharon's greed hurting these people! Every time i see her draped in all her fancy, expensive jewelry, i can only see the talent and hard work of these guys hanging from her leathery skin. It's just gross.
she is a POS, the stories are horrible, she ruined a great band
Leathery skin. That's awesome.
Met Lee when we opened for Heep in NZ years ago,had a few beers with him and Mick.Awesome friendly dude,loved his style and impressive bvs.And Bobs book says he was quite the jovial singer after a few too.His live drumming on various versions of Easy Livn is just the bomb!onya,respect indeed.
It wasn’t “osbournes band”….
The BAND was called “blizzard of oz
( not the album)
Ozzy ( scumbag) absconded with the masters
Stole the music ,credits,and accolades under his own name and hired
Musicians to play Bob and lees parts
And royalties
Ozzy was and is a world class POS….
And I’ll never buy those albums ever again….
I got misty eyed reading this, you speak truth.
The originals have been reinstated except on certain streaming devices like Amazon they play the 2002 versions which is awful.
@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle it is so hard when you hear the songs now. I don't know the original from the remake
@@christopherurban2015 there should be an offensive sound to the re-recorded ones, and that is because as Max Norman says, the guy who produced the albatross re-recordings did not know the order of which Randy stacked his solos so it sounds off, also, Robert and Mike played to Randy and not in the pocket, Randy was on top of the beat, Bob and Lee played back. it sounds off if you really listen to it
I had heard that Ozzy and Gezer were in a band before joining Tony and Bill.
Lee and Bob sound great in Uriah Heep post Diary of a Madman albums, Lee a huge part of the Uriah Heep success in the 70s. What a band Blizzard of ozz was.........F Sharon
Bobdaisley wrote a big amount of great song on blizzz
And got no credit ripped off royalties
@@JohnJoe-wj7nm Bob did work with Randy on the arrangements and bridges, but a song like Crazy Train was mostly done before Randy even found Ozzy or Ozzy found him. Bob , as Jake E Lee said, could turn a good song into a great song.
Bob did get proper credit on those albums, except he had to battle in court to get Diary as they tried to erase him from that situation and claim he was a session player which is an insult.
What happened is later in the 90s Bob found out the Osbournes had set up a shell company to steal money from him and Lee, and they had a law firm take it on a contigency, but it all collapsed when Don arden perjured himself after threats from Sharon, it would have really dented the Osbourne's financial health if Don testified it was a band and Bob was a partner.
Fact. Abominog was kick ass!
Lee was a great drummer and great guy he got screwed.
Lee was Ozzy's best drummer.
correct...he did much more than drum , he helped write songs
Sorry, but who would believe that was Ozzy's first drummer! I mean, even Ozzy still looks like rocker to a degree.
He was dying you jackass.
Lee could sing better than Ozzy, a part of me wonders if Lee got sacked because Ozzy's contributions were really going to be reduced to singing only,....Lee came with up with better melodies and could handle more difficult prog metal like songs in Diary.
Andrew Klein who has heard those Holy Grail tapes, says during the Diary recording sessions, Ozzy is missing on 90% of the recordings that Bob did you do the math. The band did not need Ozzy except for him to lend his iconic voice on the songs and his name to sell the brand Blizzard of ozz
Ozzy was a charismatic figure, loved by the fans - whether he would ever be considered a great vocalist is another matter. Daisley and Kerslake were pretty faceless, despite being competent musicians and, in Daisley's case, a good lyricist. Those who bought tickets were coming to see Ozzy.
When that tour came to my small village, I believe it was Aldridge on drums. But I actually didn't know anything about the band, I was too young, all that mattered was Ozzy. All this stuff coming out on youtube decades later is bringing a lot of colour, which I appreciate. Never knew any of this behind the scenes stuff, but the idea that Ozzy couldn't really compose much by himself I can now guess may be one of the reasons why the Jake Lee records weren't as successful. As much as I like Jake Lee's playing, I've removed at least half those songs from my spotify because of the inane lyrics and humdrum vocal melodies.
@@grobbler1 OZzy has the charisma the buffonish clown on stage with the iconic voice, which he could never reproduce live, but his band was so good people realized that is where the songs were. Ozzy has a unique legendary voice, he did the melodies....allegedly.
I disagree that early on, word was getting out on how good the band was you have musicians who toured in bands that played with Blizzard of ozz from Def Leppard to Nell Carter in UFO to Rik Emmett who all have said how good the band was, one of the best they ever saw but they could give or take Ozzy.
People were buying tickets to hear the music written by the musicians that Ozzy sang on.
Sure there was a segment of people who were going to see the circus associated with Ozzy being a madman ..rumors of killing animals to of course the bat incident, dove incident. He maximized the theory of there is no such thing as bad publicity.
@@jb1934 where is your small village....and was ozzy the idiot they were looking for. Ozzy did not play an instrument, he gets credit for melodies but how many of those were driven by the guitar melody?
Jake's music is awesome, but he hated a song like So Tired... And what ended up being Ultimate Sin was a pitiful example of what Jake came to the table with , there are demos that tell a different story of how good that album could have been if Ron Nevison had not screwed it up with bad production.
But randy and Bob set the Ozzy blueprint....how to write and what worked with his voice.
Lee couldn't sing better than Ozzy. Aside from a few, Ozzy created all the melodies. Ozzy could sing fine live (and with power) but would get over exuberant and yell too much during the concerts. That, along with the heavy partying, was very damaging to the voice.
Everything was great and clicking until Yoko had her say.
really, the troubling moment was Machat only signing ozzy to CBS.....screwing over the band and that empowered Darth Hideous
I hope someday someone makes a real documentary about Lee Kerslake...
there is a doc on Lee Kerslake it is on youtube and I think on prime.
He was truly underappreciated
Bob love ya man you were the bassist i learned so much from. i started playing bass in 1984 !! Between you and Lee you guys propelled ozzy to stardom.. Of course the late great Randy Roads !!ozzy wouldnt be shit without a great band behind him!!
Darth Hideous absolutely screwed over LEE.....tragic how they treated him, He had to beg for the platinum disc on his deathbed. had to sign an NDA not to bad mouth Sharon in public anymore., truly disgusting.
Is that a demo version of I Don't Know in this video? that does not sound like the recorded version......that sounds randy playing it differently
The question when it comes to Sharon & Ozzy is could the latter have succeeded without creating such rancour amongst their sidemen/partners?
the Osbournes are lowlifes...
Now just realizing he was the drummer in Uriah Heep I got a solo from him I think from when they were live at Shepherton Studios.
he was the drummer in Uriah Heep on their biggest albums for sure
The 4 original members can't be matched by any one at all. Ecclesiastes 12:7 } Amen
one of the greatest bands ever
And as Dave Mustaine said in the 40th deathversary issue for Randy Rhoads in Guitar World: Blizzard of ozz was destined to be the biggest band in the world ...
Ive seen/ heard over a thousand shows( music, inc local open mic/ punk etc) the Blizzard concert at Sheas Buffalo was the most incredible thing ive ever witnessed, easily. And i was only 13. Damn.
May 6, 1981....nice...the band was that good eh?
you know the bootleg of that show is on youtube
Sharron is no good. Too bad for Ozzy.
He sucks, too.
@@alexhicks5889 correct they are both lowlifes
Great video
❤❤
i wish Randy would have put his foot down and told Ozzy they stay or we go, then go to Father Arden and say we want a new manager and keep your greedy daughter away from the band, Jan S.
