How much money OZZY paid JAKE E LEE

This is my review on how much money Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne paid Jake E. Lee

[@Buckeyefarmer]

I used to think Sharon was the ruthless one and Ozzy was just kind of oblivious, but turns out Ozzy is not any better than her.

[@shable1436]

They aren't just musicians but actors, and liars, I guess you've seen the podcasts lately too then. They portray themselves as victims in everything, and their kids who knows nothing about back then just parrot

[@cconley2112]

Like attracts like. Also if Sharon was more cunning and ruthless than Ozzy. Don’t you think she would find away to just use him for everything he had. Then discard him when she was done.

[@davidrynberk1533]

When you don't see the devil right before your eyes,Jake E Lee was befriended ,definitely robbed,screwed over by the Osbournes.If you never have dealt or experienced people like Sharon, when agreements and money are involved like the devil, they turn on you, belittle you.The excuse that it was just Sharon I agree with you, Ozzy was also a liar/manipulator.Most human beings don't wake up in the morning thinking about how to steal from the people that just saved their ass, but that is what the Osbournes have done too many times.

[@angusorvid8840]

Ozzy enabled the worst in Sharon. He didn't want to fight with her. That means he was never going to stand up to her when she fired Jake and treated so many musicians like dogshit.

[@southofsleep]

When I first started playing guitar I saw Ozzy here in Nashville. It also was my first metal concert. First time smelling pot. You guys know the drill. The lights went down and I could not believe what I saw. I stood there and watched Jake E. Lee play all those solos and even Randy's solos. It had seemed to be something unreachable or unattainable when listening to the record and trying to learn the riffs on guitar back then....but then seeing him in the flesh up there on stage and playing every note. Needless to say, it left quite an impression. Being just a kid, I couldn't believe what I saw. Watching this it just brings me to tears and my teeth almost snapping in two knowing this is how things turned out from how he was treated. This is heartbreaking.

Never mind, I just watched the video. I really see a pattern here about Ozzy Osbourne.

Yeah the way they treated him was definitely b.s. ….. Same subject but different thought and also a question….. You said you saw Jake play for Ozzy in Nashville. Was this at Municipal Auditorium in 1986 with Metallica opening in support of Master Of Puppets just 2 months before Cliff Burton was killed? If so, i was there as well my brother. What a legendary night that was!!!

One must never forget Sharon Osborne sat at the feet as a young lady watching her Crooked father, Don Arden rip off his act’s left and right. The best example of Don Arden’s thievery is The Small Faces. Don put the band members on a small stipend and provided a house for the band to reside. They also had access to a clothing store. Don toured the living shit out of this band and mopped up financially. The band was paying for their housing, Clothes etc unbeknownst to the lads. Don ripped them off with royalties, the worst ripoff heard of. So nothing surprises me about Sharon being cheap, stingy and untruthful.

Fantastic video. During the pandemic, I stumbled across an interview Jake E Lee did with some podcast. He talked a lot about the Ozzy years, but more so how management screwed over Badlands. He went into details about how the last tour was paid for by themselves and they traveled with all their equipment. Ray's death was a tragedy, and you nailed it how grunge came up out of nowhere. My dad was a failed musician in a band, who never got famous,and was always bitter how grunge just came up out of the blue and the landscape of rock music changed overnight. Many bands were dropped in favor of the hot new thing that was coming out. The story about George Lynch is sad. I had no idea he was nearly in Ozzy's band. Thank you for these stories, they're incredible. Jake was one of my favorite 80s guitar players. The Ultimate Sin has some really good songs, and his guitar playing had more of a blues touch to it that I fell in love with.

Sloman did not have the financial ability to seek legal action against Soussan during those years, knowing that the Osbournes would try and prevent loss of royalties... the music business...

[@TCraigGoldy]

@Kar's Guitar Channel Thanks for using my info about melody & lyrics being 50% of the song. It's so heartbreaking that to this very day a lot of musicians don't know about this. Especially if the vocalist wrote all the melodies and lyrics along with some of the music. That starts getting into that singer getting up to 60%-70%. Leaving the rest to be split up between those who wrote the rest of the music. In many cases 30% gets split up between the guitarist, keyboardist and bassist, and the drummer left out of it all. Usually speaking that is. Many guys who first start out don't get the ultimate deal to begin with. Usually no one does. They have to earn it. Unfortunately in cases like this, once they earn it, the powers that be still have leverage over them and can still screw them out of what they earned and deserve. Even with a contract! Most of the powers that be, know that the amount paid out to lawyers will nearly always exceed the amount they are going after, as the lawyers for the powers that be can drag it out utilizing technicality after technicality! I know this cause my music was stolen for a 2020 Super Bowl ad. Took 3 years of fighting it and had to settle for way less cause of the Supreme Court hadn't ruled on a technicality called the "Discovery Rule". Had they ruled in favor of that, my case would've been able to go back further than the statute of limitations to the moment the copyright infringement actually first occurred and not when it was first discovered years later!! Anyways ...thanks....it's nice to know that I can be somewhat helpful here!!

He was on the Monster’s of Rock tour in the UK or Europe somewhere? He said Ozzy came on, after Gary Moore and Van Halan. He said “I had to follow those two guys”? Can you imagine? The pressure was on. But he said Eddie came up to him after Ozzy’s set and complemented him. He said it meant a lot. The story stayed with me.

@@sconni666 Bark at the moon was a great album and sold more than 2 million copies worldwide , what do you mean it wasn’t that bad, are you nuts?? Jake should have been paid about $250,000 in royalties at that time according to an interview with Jake.

[@jasemccormick3288]

Have heard similar on other youtube channels directly from those involved. However, what are your sources? Have you spoken to any of these people first hand or have you just put this together from other clips from interviews etc?

[@karsguitarchannel6088]

Shawn Staples lives in LA California. He hung out with many guitar legends in the Rainbow bar in the 80's. He hung out with Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, John Sykes, Michael Angelo Batio, John Entwistle and many other players. So he spoke to them first hand. In this video, we tell what we know from Jake and other people who know him.

Jack E Lee had some killer riffs from Bark & Ultimate Sun!

[@frankartale1026]

Jake E. Lee is the Man !. Amazing player ! Randy Castillo was the best drummer Ozzy had !

He ripped off everyone. Randy in particular. Jake got ripped off too. Just because people play music we like dosent mean they are good people. Most of the greats are the scum of the earth. Really bad people.

[@jeffjohnson9576]

I loved Van Halen. Eddie Van Halen was a childhood hero of mine. Came across a few stories over the years about how Eddie screwed a few people. Namely Michael Sobeleski. (Michael Anthony). Forcing him to sign over his rights to the Van Halen name. Essentially making him nothing more than a contract musician. Michael was a critical part in building Van Halen. He deserved to be a part of the Van Halen name. Broke my heart. My childhood obsession with Van Halen ended right there

jake is awesome and such an underrated guitar hero. and of course, bark at the moon was one of the greatest of all time - and nobody could replace jake ( and never has ).

I can only imagine what happened to Jackie Lee but how did they also treat Randy Rhoads question mark but then again where's the old saying what goes around Comes Around😊

[@user-ty2xv6xw8j]

Well, RR isn't here to speak for himself.

[@tommyboyindy1157]

It should have been a red flag for Jake when he saw how George got treated.

[@spencerdawson6536]

It’s strange considering how all Metal guitarists in the 80’s thought playing with Ozzy was the Ultimate Dream Job. Jake was a world famous, certified Rock Star. Few ever get to live that life yet clearly Ozzy criminally underpaid his hired talent. Years later, a drummer friend I know briefly worked with Jake in Las Vegas where he was residing. It didn’t make sense to me that a RockStar would be working with a nobody drummer but even the greats fall really far sometimes.

[@megadeel]

According to Vinny, they only jammed a few times with Jake. Ronnie wanted a European style player and that is accurate about Jake's style was more dynamic than what Ronnie wanted as it walked on his vocals a bit too much. To me Jake is the best metal axeman from that era ! Vinny is one of the classiest legends I have ever met along with Jake.

[@JiveTurkey125]

They even tried ripping off Randys family over his Royalties, Bob Daisley wrote most of Blizzard and Diary and got ripped off. ozzy and that witch are 2 dirtbags

Jake E Lee was one of the few famous Koreans in western music media at the time His family is Zainichi Korean/Japanese born Korean I think if Jake was treated better he would help be a better role model for Korean and Asian representation in American/Western media And a great role model for countless aspiring Asian musicianss

Jake was the only person that enjoyed touring because of all the traveling . The other members of the band were already used to it and weren't as enthusiastic . Its sad they fukked him over .

I never heard that about Joe Holmes. Joe told Eddie Trunk his demos just weren’t flowing enough for the Down to Earth album. It was basically a mutual parting from what I’ve heard and supposedly, Joe got severance pay.

The Badlands records have been out of print for years, and aren’t even on streaming platforms. It is a shame.

[@one80srocker96]

Darth Vader, “I’m altering the deal. Pray I don’t alterit anymore.” As if anyone believes Ozzy picked up an ax and wrote the riffs and solos for Bark at the Moon! All these stories been coming out about working with Ozzy and Sharon are no big surprise. I think we kinda already knew back in the 80s. Guitar players for Ozzy got screwed. It got Randy killed.

[@tnourse]

Poor George. He's sooooo good.

[@jimyoung3571]

I always wanted to be a rockstar growing up. I played guitar religiously for quite a few years and got kinda ok. But ended up married with children at 20, i jammed with some frends alot & just played metal cuz thats what i love. I swore off selling out & playing bar gigs playing terrible music, but i eventually gave in for the money when i was like 37 or 38ish Playing those dance songs year after year made and all the bickering in the band made me hate playing and completely turned me off from music. I never recovered, i dont play anymore and i hardly ever listen to music now. Its kinda sad.

Something not mentioned Jake E Lee played in the band "Teaser" in San Diego , saw him play numerous times at Straightahead music in La Mesa between 79-81

[@karsguitarchannel6088]

[@antithug7942]

I feel bad for Jake. I got to see him with Ozzy on the Bark at the Moon tour in Dallas, Tx. He did do Rhoads justice on the songs Rhoads wrote and played on. I got to see Rhoads live too with Ozzy before the accident that took him away from us way too soon.

Let's face it. Ozzy would be a nobody without sabbath in the first place. After bark album all his solo stuff is bla.

[@mobeus84]

Does anyone ever wonder hey maybe these guitarists didn't ask for a lot of money and why did they take the deals that they agreed to? Sharon isn't stupid she knows if there's a contract it's legally binding so that means these guys agreed to something either under the table or they were okay with not getting a lot of money to get Fame

[@icankillbugs204]

The only point of fame is to become wealthy though. What's the point of people knowing you and not even being rich?

[@marvinshenk]

I've read that Randy Rhoads would play the riff to Bark at the Moon during his solo time on stage during Ozzy Shows. Not sure if that's true. Anyway's, if Jake E. Lee didn't earn enough money playing with Ozzy to retire comfortably thats sad. He got Ozzy through a very rough time, and he should have been paid very well.

Watch documentary "Hired Guns" a lot of musicians in big bands don't make much and when touring is over, they are on their own. Music BUSINESS.

The worst part of it all is Ozzy knows exactly how it feels to be burned by the suits. It's my only knock on a truly amazing musician.

Bark at the moon was my 1st metal concert in the 6th grade . There's confusion to who was drumming because Tommy Aldridge was also fired & Carmine Appice was brought in during tour . S.F. Cow palace show opening act was supposed to be motley crue but instead slade opened . (I blame sharon for that to) who knows ? To this day that was a real bummer the show would have been so much better & memorable . Jake e lee was awesome & Bob daisley was there . There's a full library of books & interviews from all the musicians & artists that got used and abused by the Osbournes ☠🎭☠
