Ep. 161 - Bob Daisley Interview!

[@gary8411]

AWESOME Interview Guys. Would be cool to get a double interview with Bob Daisley and Jake E. Lee at the same time. That would be a great interview. Just a thought. CHEERS ! and btw , I hope Jake is mending well and fast. He's my fave guitar player of all time.. Rock On!

[@ToneHound126]

Great show. Bob seems all class.

[@frankrichards3089]

Always does.

[@derangedhermit2879]

Always nice to see Bob Daisley getting his long overdue respect, Bob Daisley is one of my very favorite Bass players, along with Billy Cox…🎸

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

he is arguably the most underappreciated bassist in rock history, played with so many greats.

[@glenncooper3524]

Loved that Jake got to say hi to Bob! Would love to see them together again. Bob is great in every way. I see something about or with Daisley ,I'm definitely watching/listening. Thank you Bob!!!!!!

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

that was awesome it is too bad they never kept in touch or never played again together

[@amandapeters3527]

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle perhaps we can change that if Jake is feeling up to it!

[@frankrichards3089]

Daisley is such a brilliant musician and writer and a great storyteller. Legend. Thanks for the interview!

[@timmywarren3996]

What a fantastic show Mark and Dave. Bob's book is the best overview of one's career I've ever read. Absolutely outstanding Bob. The stories Bob told in this episode were brilliant. Tone talk absolutely rocks and hat's off to you Dave and Mark. Cheers.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

people who want the truth, should read bob's book, Rudy Sarzo's book, Steve Machat's book....Gary Sharpe-Young';s book All have common threads that expose ozzy and sharon lies

[@chrisquinn9104]

Oooo Willie Weeks! Great shout!

[@coastalgeorgia6558]

THANKS BOB! Would love a part two.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

we all would

[@jeddak]

Great episode. Bob did not disappoint - I could listen to his reminiscences for days on end. And anyone who feels the same way owes it to themselves to pick up _For Fact's Sake_. Great book.

[@Gearslayer92]

I would like to see Jake and Bob both on together for an episode!

[@tone-talk]

We tried but Jake is still recovering and we couldn’t make it happen. Maybe another day. Thanks!

[@Gearslayer92]

@@tone-talk No worries thanks.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

that would be an awesome reunion, why not include Tommy Aldridge too...The speak of the Devil line up is doing a project together. Bob tries to be Switzerland when discussing guitarists, Tommy is indignant Randy was the best he has ever played with

[@marclehmann1940]

Great guy. Great player. Great feeling and tone. Great songwriter. Both, lyrics and music. Sad, that he and Jake E. Lee never joined forces again after their departure from Ozz.

[@MAG-li5jo]

CD's came out in 82--83. My friend got a CD player in 85 and The Ultimate Sin was the first CD I ever heard. It sounded freaking incredible through his system.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

A great guest to get for this show, Dana Strum I will make donations galore if that happens

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

I woke up two a few texts that I should watch this, unfortunately I could not participate live. Bob is an all time A leaguer

[@steveweilhart2359]

Bob is a legend what a joy listening to him very charming and such a talent - great Interview guy's

[@yngzaklynch]

Missed this. Had to work. Listening now. Such a great musician. So humble while being incredibly talented. I wish him the best. If you’re reading this Bob thank you so much for all the great music! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

he is one of the most underappreciated musicians of all time

did anyone else get a lump in the throat/tear in the eye when they read Jakes txt??

[@craiganderson6880]

Bob’s Book is fantastic! Highly recommend!

[@JuddLofthouse]

I honestly think this is the best show I’ve seen on here (and there has been some great ones) well done Dave and Marc for getting bob on 👌👌👍👍

[@superzombie6024]

I need to get Bob's book. Definitely get a Bob and Jake interview going, that would be amazing, I bet there is a lot that will only come up with both of the legends on the same call, or better yet if it was possible to have them in the same room!

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

people who want to know the truth on Ozzy need to get Bob's book, Rudy's book, Steve Machat's book which absolutely takes the hatchet to the Osbournes as he was the guy handling and negotiating the deals. I just sent Steve a note letting him know he got a mention on this show.

[@clausm2203]

Great interview and would love a audio version of Bobs book

[@MartynCampbell-ib5gr]

This is one of your best episodes amazing information x Dave looked fascinated and Marc you seemed to bond really well with Bob 10/10 episode one of the channels best x And great Jake sent that message top man x

[@Scott__C]

Great talk with Bob, hope you'll have him back. Going to get his book. Sharon's terrible but so is Ozzy. He owns all that nonsense after the first 20 times.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

right people never give Ozzy a free pass

[@patrickcasey357]

The “Etude” in question regarding Diary is Etude #6 by Leo Brouwer. It’s pretty much note for note.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

No it's not Randy changed a lot of that the blend into DOAM.

[@amandapeters3527]

This is one of the best interviews I’ve seen in quite some time. Would love to see Jake get well enough to come on with Bob again, and hopefully he recovers so he can play again as well! Would love to have him involved in the album if he’s willing. A little reunion for Bob and him! Happy to connect you all, Bob has been telling me for some time he’s been trying to reach out to Jake so I’m really pleased this worked out. For the record, yes I didn’t know Bob played with Gary but Bob is the reason I even play and write music, so I certainly had my jaw on the floor when I realized WHICH bob hahah! Thanks for the great interview guys! I’m originally from Detroit myself, would love to play a Friedman eventually!

[@fistoftulkas7335]

Another fantastic episode, full of great stories and true insights into some of the greatest metal music ever put on record. Would've been timeless to have Jake and Bob reunite here after such a long time, two masters in their craft, but i suppose Jake is still recovering. Next time! Thank you Marc and Dave, you guys rock.

[@lousekoya1803]

So proud of you guys ! What a great channel with great guests ! Thank you both !

[@Dan_Ranger]

Great interview, as always. Love Bob’s contributions to music, he just has that knack for songwriting, and should be rewarded for it. Geezer, another great lyricist who covered Ozzy’s arse in Black Sabbath. Reb Beach would be a great guest ;)

[@MrDevins]

Bob Daisley is an unsung legend.

Great show, so happy to hear directly from Bob clearing up stories we've heard over the years. Looking forward to part 2

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

part 2 is awesome they should get Dana Strum on the show

[@daryljanswanson8715]

This is a blessing, i never thought you would have such a great Musician, i have been listening to since i was a kid in the late 70s, Get the Book, it is worth every penny, Jan

[@19581998]

People asking Bob questions about Randy’s gear and settings is borderline rude IMHO. Bob is a straight up legend in his own right.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

or asking Dave questions....the gear questions are ignorant, Bob was concerned his stuff, not what Randy was doing except recording his parts correctly

[@chrisalexander1661]

Great interview!!! Thank you!!

[@Twotontessie]

Little Dolls is so cool. Some of his best vocals and vocal arrangements. And Kerslake!

[@MAG-li5jo]

I just found and bought Bob's Gary Moore tribute CD. I can't wait to get it and crank it up. I was just working on Empty Rooms through my Friedman Small Box tonight. And all three transcriptions have a lot differences. Wish I could remember how I played it back in the day. Thankfully some muscle memory is kicking in a little.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

Bob very loyal to Gary's memory and legacy, awesome album, wish it had some of the rockers but that is not the genre it is focused on, Bob is the guy who told Gary to do a blues album

[@widersin]

Great interview!

[@BradMiller007]

This was a great interview. When you guys were taking about the greatest white blue guitarist I would put SRV in that spot.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

SRV is an absolute B leaguer, did not write a lot of the music he is known for

[@sytharnia1717]

Marc Bob was talking about "you looking at you looking at me" when talking about the Mr Crowley live EP not the song Mr Crowley .. when he said they wrote it and played it at the soundcheck and Ozzy sang off the lyric sheet

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

no that was the song You said It All, they wrote that during soundcheck, It was never played live in front of an audience, not recorded in a studio, Randy did the solo in a truck, You Looking at me, looking at you was a studio track that was slated to go on the original debut album by Blizzard of ozz, but they bumped it for No Bone Movies so Lee could get a credit

[@sytharnia1717]

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle oh yes you are right ... Marc thought he was talking about Crowley though

[@banginbob]

Great interview - Bob's book is awesome and very thorough! On a side note - you guys have brought up the subject of the mix of Bark At The Moon a couple of times - with Bob here as well as previously with Jake. Since it's never been talked about, I'm guessing that neither Bob nor Jake know about the 2002 re-release of the album, which was completely remixed. Most of the reverb is gone, the drums are more prominent, and the sound is beefed up considerably. They also mixed in a few different guitar parts that weren't in the original mix. This release was not really publicized at all. Personally, I think it sounds way better than the original mix by far. I strongly recommend you guys go hunt it down before you have Jake back on the show. Keep up the great work!

[@fixpedalboards1969]

I wish I could have watched live but I had a 15 disc Technics changer in my 1987 Iroc-z so it was at least that old

[@Twotontessie]

Well documented in Sarzo book - Randy and Ozzy/Sharon settled verbally that he was doing Bark At The Moon and the touring and that was it.

[@LGJR1]

You should have Bob on again and have Jake also!!

[@SpartanPridePod]

Have em on together for a pure Q&A, 75 to 90 min. That would be an easy outline of a killer show indeed

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

reunite them with Tommy Aldridge

25:35 CD's came out in Japan in October of 1982. Billy Joel's 1978 album, 52nd Street was the first pop/rock title released in Japan. The players were around a $1000....In January of 1983, Rolling Stone Magazine printed an article titled "The Digital Revolution. Will The Compact Disc Make The LP Obsolete?". Sony (who built the world's first CD pressing plant) was producing 10,000 CD players per month (And 300,000 CD's per month). The running time of a CD was determined to be 74 minutes and 42 seconds in order to fit the entire 9th Symphony by Beethoven on a single disc. The initial retail price of a CD was $16.95. By 1984, Record Companies raked over a $104 million in CD sales. Michael Jackson was the first artist to negotiate a contract that included a cut from sales of CD's.

[@keithpowell5336]

Read the book, great reading.

[@kxmrock]

Wow Rare Treat

[@scienceisgod1]

Great job even considering Bob Daisley! His work with early Gary Moore is fantastic! Although I think a lot of his bass was way to far back in the mixes - especially with Ozzy. Get an EQ or a good sub-woofer to really appreciate his contribution to those great songs!

[@elliottstrong686]

I never understand why members, when fired, don't form bands to keep the momentum going. Just imagine Bob and Lee teaming up with Jake and a vocalist like Ray Gillan and using the exposure of Qzzy to their advantage

[@sytharnia1717]

had to stop listening live after 35 mins so I never got the chance to ask if the Bark at the Moon video was done the same day as the photoshoot for the album art work? ... can't imagine Ozzy sat there (or paid twice) twice to get the make up done

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

you should go back to the 51 minute mark that is when things really kick into high gear and the show takes a different tone

I don’t wish evil upon anyone, however Ozzy and Sharon deserve some karma for how they treated Daisley and Kerslake.

Somebody wrote a book on Bon and researched his death extensively. He believes it’s likely Bon overdosed on heroin, died, and the people he was with just left him in the car until the next day. He didn’t freeze to death.

What a shame to push Bob thru the rifts over and over, RNRHOF don't mean shit, can people just get on, we ALL know how important his contributions are. What a gem of a gentleman, you are, Bob!

[@tone-talk]

Nobody is pushing Bob into anything. He deserves to know he is appreciated despite being left out of credits and the royalties. Bob is a legend

[@warbirdfotos]

@@tone-talk You guys did a great job, and I know some of this had to be hashed out, I wish there had been more time to dig into more Gary Moore stuff and so much of his other work. Hope he comes back for more....or Moore!

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

Bob wrote a book, he is very open to talking about stuff. This is why he does these interviews, no subjects are taboo with Bob. But the point was how did Bob feel and to get it out in the open, we all knew the answer. Bob is an all time legend

[@warbirdfotos]

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Understood.

[@SpartanPridePod]

I listened to the AVH book too. It was not hard to see why it went over like a lead balloon. At best, it was better as a book written and not released. At worst, it's a book that's shaky on key facts, leaves out more than half of the story, and once again highlights extreme dysfunction, bitterness, and ignorance from those in the VH camp. It was honestly too bad, wish I had not listened to it.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

[@mab2112]

Without Bob Daisley, Randy Rhoads, Lee Kerslake, Brad Gillis, Rudy Sarzo, Jake E Lee, Zakk Wylde, Tommy Aldridge, Don Airey, etc., Ozzy would never have had a solo career and would be in the “where are they now” category. Yes, he sang the songs and created the branding along with his wife. These musicians and song writers deserve the majority of the credit and financial rewards that his wife screwed them all out of.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

you forgot one very important figure in all of this. Dana Strum Without Dana, no Randy to Ozzy no Jake ... that is who these guys should get on this show.

Please do the audio book and yes, read it yourself, makes them much better. That's what makes Alex Van Halens book so much better. It's AI Alex, lol?
