[@guitarrocks7776]

@@chrisretro81 Yeah, They all got along good. Just the business ruins things (Sharon and her father Don Arden from Jet Records who signed Ozzy). Even when Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were let go, Randy called Bob and told him he had nothing to do with that decision. Randy wanted to leave also but Bob told Randy it’s a better opportunity for him since he was unknown at that time. If you look up an interview of Grover Jackson (He built Randy’s White Concorde Jackson and black Jackson Rhoads) he mentions a story about Randy being upset wondering when will he get paid. I hope over time people realize the real story. There’s a lot of re-writing history with the Osbournes.

For years I considered Ozzy Osbourne to be my greatest mentor. Then I found out my real mentors were Geezer Butler and Bob Daisley. Ozzy was a great melody maker. But it was the lyrics and music that inspired me the most. I'll give credit where credit is due, unlike Ozzy and Sharon.

Oddly enough, "The Ultimate Sin" is one of my favorite early Ozzy albums. I recall Jake talking about how he took a much more active role in songwriting on that album, since he'd gotten screwed over on "BATM" by Sharon because "You're the new guy, you just do as you're told." That album has Jake's wonderfully quirky and melodic playing and writing all over it, and I hugely enjoy it to this day. Bob has every reason to speak up and make his side known, and here's to hoping that the Sharon camp (since Ozzy's a non-entity) doesn't destroy him for it. That woman is ruthless and downright cruel, and I lost respect for her a long time ago.

[@MetalHeart8787]

[@bigbobbitchinii123]

I love it as well. Also heard Ozzy say his least favorite was Bark At the moon. I guess it was because he was waiting " for dark ass" Bwahahahaha. Jake E Lee was the 1st that exposed Sharon holding Ozzy's balls in her purse. This is why Ozzy hates those 2 albums.

[@TheSimba3062]

I was lucky enough to be at US Festival that day. The whole band was amazing! Bob's a legendary songwriter and musician. Sauron Osbourne is notorious for her greed and screwing over almost every musician that helped make her husband's career!

[@davidhyden7X70]

Bob's book, "For Facts Sake" is a priceless view of the REAL music world from the inside. He is one the most iconic rock musicians and authors in history. Sharon protected and propped up Ozzy irregardless to who she messed over in the process. All of their great interviews praising Randy Rhoads never mentioned how he was only paid a few hundred a week because he signed a BS contract. His mother had to sue Ozzy and Sharon for his earnings after he died. Had he lived, he was leaving Ozzy anyway because of the raw deal he had been given. By the time they got Zakk, maybe they finally changed on how they treated "the help." I love Ozzy music but "The Prince of Darkness" is truly only a figure head for the true evil demon named Sharon.

[@bartsullivan4866]

You are right David even reading other books from Randy Castillo they make reference that Randy was going to leave Ozzy not long after tired of his shit and cancelling concerts. Like 1/4th of those tour dates were cancelled due to Ozzy not the rest of the band. Ultimate Sin is a very mediocre album but still better than all his 90's, 2000's and beyond records except for No More Tears. Sharon was a ruthless bitch makes you wonder if Zakk Wilde ever got paid his publishing.

It's mostly just vocal melodies and maybe an "oh yeah" here and there.

[@r3d5ive87]

Yeah, if you’ve seen him try to speak he’s not contributing too many lyrics.

[@carlmarks8170]

Yeah, Ozzy contributed the melodies... That was his part of the song writing process. He was brilliant at it. MUCH better than anyone else they ever worked with. Tony & RJD wrote some good tunes for "Heaven and Hell", but nothing else from Ozzy's ex-bandmates ever came close to his Sabbath and solo albums. Think about that for one second... If Bob Daisley was such a genius songwriter and Ozzy had zero input, then why hasn't Bob written any other memorable tunes? Or Zakk, Jake and Randy with Quiet Riot? It's terrible that Ozzy and Sharon cheated his ex-bandmates out of their full royalties. But it's just idiotic the way people now want to rewrite history and claim that Ozzy contributed NOTHING to those songs. It was a collaborative process. Aside from the credits on the Bark At the Moon album cover, nobody ever claimed Ozzy wrote all the music himself. His guitarists would come up with a riff; the other bandmates would jam along and hash out a basic song structure and then Ozzy would put his stamp on it with a vocal melody. And then Bob (or Geezer) would go away and figure out some lyrics for Ozzy to sing. It's odd the way Ozzy never wrote the lyrics. But apart from that, there is nothing unusual about this songwriting process. It's the same dynamic with many singers and guitarists: Jagger, Richards.... Bono, The Edge.... Scott, Young & Young... Tyler, Perry... Halford, Tipton...

[@brigham2250]

The problem with Daisley is that he is like a battered and abused woman who keeps returning to the same man who is abusing her, except in this case the abuser was probably Sharon (& Ozzy to some extent). As for Bark at the Moon, other than the title track, it's good but something isn't right, like the guitar is not prominent enough, not the centerpiece (but there is a certain darkness or mysteriousness to the album that I like about it). The Ultimate Sin is Ozzy in his glam period and it suffers for it. I have listened to this album multiple times thinking that it must be better than I'm giving it credit for, but each time I listen, I'm left with the same negative feelings. Sure, there's some catchy tunes, but in the end, it just underwhelms. I prefer Bark at the Moon. I know some people think Jake's two albums with Ozzy are better than Blizzard and Diary. I don't think they're even close. Blizzard and Diary are truly special, not because of what happened to Randy but because Randy got to use his warehouse of riffs in a setting far removed from Quiet Riot's largely amateur efforts. He had this stockpile of riffs and licks and with Daisley's help (and I'm sure Ozzy played some part) they were all put to excellent use. Rhoads' sense of melody and his structured playing (as opposed to EVH's off the cuff sound, brilliant in its own right) fit perfectly with Ozzy's voice and Daisley's lyrics. I think those two albums stand the test of time. After Bark at the Moon -- which was a step down in quality from Blizzard and Diary -- Ozzy never fully recovered. Zakk Wylde has his fans. I guess I'm just not one of them. To my way of thinking, Ozzy -- in regards to his solo career -- has been living off of Blizzard and Diary the last 40 years. Back to Bob Daisley, he's either a genius who never got the credit he deserved or maybe his account of things is partly true but not entirely true. I don't know. Funny, I just typed that without realizing at first the significance of those words.

People with artistic sensibilities rarely have strong business acumen. They are trusting and tenderhearted usually. They are not anticipating deception.

[@kcohan2435]

@@aaronkristo858 supposedly Motorhead got fucked over a lot

[@allenbass6169]

Hard to feel bad for the guy when he gets screwed over and over gets fired and just goes right back for more. Really no sense in him whining about it.

[@biffbifford402]

Any musician worth his salt would not deal with Ozzy or Sharon at all - unless of course the money is paid upfront and in full.

[@kalebproductions9316]

Don't try to meet your heros. They probably will not remain your heroes if you do.

[@jeffjackson9679]

Part of me feels bad for Bob, but on the other hand he kept letting himself get f*cked over by Sharon and Ozzy and kept coming back for more. Kind of like feeling bad for that girl, who keeps going back to an abusive relationship over and over and keeps crying about it at the same time.

[@santiagosantarge819]

I imagine had there been a third album with Rhoads Daisley Aldridge , I dont think Sharon would have brought Kerslake back , Sharon would have ruined it with her meddling,

[@issuesandtissues9280]

I liked the ultimate sin

[@paulcurtis5317]

Is there anyone who sharon hasnt sacked? Did randy rhodes die before she could sack him?

[@vultureculture4677]

Well,. Ozzy may have been the main attraction, but Jake e Lee, Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Tommy Alderidge, Don Airey, Rudy Sarzo and of course Randy Rhoads, and later others, worked very hard to bring that whole "Ozzy" deal to fruition. I think most know the story.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

Ozzy owes his career to the great songwriters from Tony and Geezer, to Bob and Randy to Jake and Bob.....

[@scotts4259]

When it came to Ozzy's solo band, it was his band members that were the talent.Alot of stories out there about Ozzy and Sharon.Seems like they wanted all the money and credit.Again, the band members made the magic happen

[@bls8959]

Same with sabbath

[@acebrockton1828]

Good sounds on ultimate sin.

[@kisstagals]

The man who shape ozzy.

[@djay6651]

I've never understood how Bob has remained relatively loyal to Ozzy all these years despite how bad he, Lee and Jake got fucked over financially and artistically. Like a lot of the other posters, I really like ''Ultimate Sin". I think it's a lot heavier and better produced than BatM.

[@giorgiomastranangeli6068]

Ozzy would have never reach the fame he got by himself,Without Randy, without Aldridge, without Daisley etcetera...... basically without his wife and dad's wife great mafious management behind him which paid all these fucking great talented musicians.

[@ulstervillan1307]

Can't complain about it but has done for almost 40 years 🤣🤣🤣

[@Zedster88]

I was at the US Fest and it was hot but not 110. One of the best times of my life ever. Fuck what a weekend that was.

[@buddyleewoods2327]

The ultimate kick in the shin .

[@krisscanlon4051]

Bob is Oz's best bassist lyricist...the Taupin of Oz past

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

there is no doubt about that

[@lolatu8255]

Those lyrics should have said "Fuck You" over and over again haha.

[@billmckee8844]

Fuck that I love that album. I listened to dairy of a madman and ultimate sin the most hell even speak of the devil was better then the rest of them. It's like splitting hairs thoe on the first five albums

[@Cincinnatus1869]

Bob and Jake have had 40 years to prove their ability to write and compose . They've not exactly set the world on fire with their music since being in Ozzy's band

[@karlv7000]

Who the Fuck are you? Nobody!!

[@garyunsworth726]

Ozzy owes alot of cool musicians alot of money and credit for his success, poor Lee Kerslake was on deaths door before he got recognition, Sharon is just a carbon copy of her father if not worse, do you honestly think Ozzy would come into the studio straight ready to record??? I don't think so

[@Artcollecta]

Why would u keep going back and working for people if you get screwed every time?

[@Locoandchooch]

Bob was on “no rest for the wicked” I just realized. Think things changed by then since Zakk demand writing credit

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

the strangest story out there is the loyalty Zakk has to the Osbournes.....the stuff he must keep inside

[@gavinjohnson8951]

Has Ozzy actually written any lyrics or songs? I know Geezer and Tony wrote all the Sabbath songs.

[@readmore4178]

How did Ozzy get away with taking credit for songs he did not write?

[@michaelkeudel8770]

Daisley and Jake should have put something together after Ozzy, missed opportunity, they could also have had Tommy Aldridge join them.

[@robertburke784]

Pretty funny/disgusting that Ozzy took credit for writing the songs, but cant play any musical instrument....except a harmonica. Would love to hear him do Bark at the moon on a harmonica!

[@lumensauce3199]

😆✌

[@ensignofindustry1033]

So ozzy provided very little other than the voice.
