Yeah, maybe in retrospect he can say Randy was a friend. But while Randy was alive, for Ozzy, he was just a cash cow that revived Ozzy's career. What a F__king bully to sucker punch Randy. He's at least twice the size of Randy. You just never know about a person until the dirty laundry comes out. In the end, he's got to live with himself and that's punishment enough.

@@jameslanclos568 I'll listen to the old Ozzy albums for Randy and Jake's playing, but I wouldn't piss on Ozzy or Sharon if they were on fire now with all that's come about how they did people. Horrible people to do business with.

Zakk Wylde is Randy Rhoades. They had to fake his death cause he wanted to leave Ozzy and Ozzy owned the rights to the name Randy rhoads

easily. Especially Bob, Randy and Jake, saved his ass. And Gus G....man if he had another album or two with Ozzy. Gus's riffs are so damn underrated.

Lee was with Uriah Heep for years. He didn't deserve that treatment. Sharon Trump.

Bob did keep coming back to write lyrics for ever increasing amounts of money.

You're a sucker. Bod Daisley is a con man and you're his mark. Daisley was then as now a seasoned profesional musician who know how the business works. If Bob wanted more money he should have negotiated a better contract. If Bob was ripped off, why did he go back 5 more times all the way up to the early 1990s? THe fact is Bob has had his lawsuits thrown out becuase he signed a contract. When the lawsuits failed he tried a new approach throwing shade via a book and tabloid headlines, and you bit hook line and sinker.

And Jake E. Lee

Yeah, and in the media, she acts like Little Miss Goody Two Shoes. WOW Sharon!

Sabbath should have teamed up with Peter Grant with all the trouble they had with 'manager's ripping them off

@@mickblack3291 They had a chance and they declined because Zep would always be the priority. Queen did the same. Peter Grant had worked for years under Arden. That is where Peter learned the business from. He left Arden in the 60s.

@@TheEWFX29 Arden and Grant were both Jewish, but at extreme ends as to how they treated their artists.

@@jamesdean1143 What does that matter? Plus he didn't live under any faith from what I have heard. He did what he wanted when he wanted. He had no dogmas holding him back. Any religion he was associated with happened in a much younger and different Peter. It seems to me he was someone willing to do whatever it took to succeed. I dont think he had any religion holding him back.

Peter Grant had one motto 90% the band 10% whoever the fuck wanted it that was it. That is a complete truth. I’ve heard and watch many interviews 90- 10 That was a the touring part of it. We know that the albums were different, but the artist kept and owned everything. Zeppelin invited Black Sabbath. They were hanging out in the studio and then once they asked them to join their record label they got all butt hurt, which is tragic because look at what happened to them until the late 80s had to give all the music to some idiot didn’t pay attention to signing.

I read about this in a book. Bernie got screwed pretty bad on that. When he split, they let him keep a Strat, and I got the feeling when reading it thaat he was exercising " extreme class" knowing he would be in print and downplaying how bad they USED him. The book also talked about Bernie using Randy's pedal when he first arrived in the states, how the crew were upset about it, and how the pedals would act up on thier own accord like they were HAUNTED.

They treated George like absolute shit.

the Osbournes revisionist history

It won't happen. The media largely protects people like the Osbournes.

the lawsuit of the Osbournes by the Rhoads family is speculation....a lot of people say it happened. I have never seen evidence of it happening but it would not surprise anyone

Yes but Bob Daisley insists that Randy didn't do it alone. It was the chemistry of four of them. Ozzy was non-productive and continuously drunk. Randy, Lee and Bob Daisley supported Ozzy to get him back on his feet. Quiet Riot with Randy couldn't get a recording contract which goes to show that Randy wasn't the 'cavalry' alone, or maybe they would've been signed on the strength of Randy alone. Ozzy was 'the name' with the following that came from BLACK SABBATH and that helped them a lot, which is the reason they accepted a lesser royalty rate to Ozzy, but never got paid anyway. Randy was a fantastic guitarist with great song ideas and Ozzy had the 'trade mark' voice. Randy and Bob put most of the first album together musically and Ozzy's vocal melodies were creative and important. The lyrics are equally important to the whole thing as are the drum and bass parts.

@@karsguitarchannel6088 Yep. My take on it is that the Blizzard of Ozz project was such a (likely unexpected) creative and financial success that they decided stick with that formula for every subsequent album and just punched in new metal musicians as they went along that they felt could write to this formula. Ozzy is essentially a drunken, affable cartoon character with stage presence who says endearingly goofy things in interviews and on reality TV. And that's why he's a star and the musicians propping him up are not. In fact, Ozzy's star charisma and his prior metal cred with Sabbath is largely what the Ozzy machine is built around.

​@@karsguitarchannel6088well also Ozzy stole Jake E Lee's guitar ideas.

@@karsguitarchannel6088 am not saying Ozzy doesn't have star power. Obviously I am influenced by him, as are millions of singers and artists. I think Randy really didn't reach his Pinnacle until Blizzard of Ozz. The reason why quiet riot didn't get signed is because at that point in time he was not standing out among the many van Halen clones. Ozzy gave him free reign artistically and he quickly blossomed into a virtuoso

That is how the rich get richer!

David, You are correct. Both Joe Elliot and Slash basically tell the same story. Slash thought, after Appetite for Destruction finally took off in late 1988 world wide the millions would simply flow in. Someone put him straight. Simply put, if your album doesn't sell 4 million units in the US you owe your record company. Slash recieved $US500k cheque in February 1989. Duff said when Appetite kept selling the cheques became quarterly, and yes, that was after 1989. Starter Bands The instruments, record studio, production, mixes and very costly marketing and distribution costs a fortune. The 4 million mark was true. On the 40th Anniversary of Def Leppards - Hysteria- Joe Elliot told a similar story. Elliot said ' we were told that after 3 months after its release that Hysteria was a flop . . . and a costly one. ' Leppard owed Polygram $ US 3 million. But then . . . For some unknown reason Pour Some Sugar on Me took off. Hysteria began really selling and selling, selling and selling 12 × Platinum 17 months after its release. Elliot said " we went from looking like we owed the record company $US 3 million to making millions as Hysteria exploded worldwide and the singles also sold as well as sell out concerts across the globe. Elliot further said and as Slash also found out, the individual band members don't get the large cheques until 2 years after the money starts to generate. Bands who only had 2 × Platinum sellers mostly become reliant on long tours for sustainable income. E.g. KISS in the 80's

Yes, heard many similar stories like Van Halen owing their record company after their first record. Vinnie Vincent not joining Kiss because of how little they paid him. Trent Reznor not paying his band that much. I guess they are also a business and try to keep as much as they can for themselves.

@Sups614 The so called " Alternative bands" were the worst. Cobain Dave Grohl said: Once Kurt realised how much we'd be making, he instantly demanded a song writings royalties restructure. Cobain did write most of the lyrics . Grohl added that Cobain turned into a nasty greedy c # n t once the huge cheques began in late 1992. E.g for every million generated Gohl & the two others received about $150k ! Cobain's estate was worth $US 100 million a decade after his death. Billy Corgan James & Darcy had no idea about copyright royalties. Morgan deliberately hid it from them. Corgan bought a Ferrari in '96 for cash whilst Darcy and James struggled to pay their rent aftet the Smashing Pumpkins bubble burst and the touring money 💰 ended. D'arcy and James demanded their 'fair cut' and Corgan who was still raking it in, said in 1996 he would from 'now on. ' Only the first three albums sold millions where D'arcy & James received NO royalties. James refers to Corgan as a low lying c#nt and slime bag. Both D'arcy and James found our that even after lawyers advised Billy that he should at least offer James &,D'arcy 5 per cent collectively, he refused and made out they were so drug addled that they would overdose and had no idea about business. How low can you get ?

@@FrostedSeagull Very interesting, thank you

if that is true, and we do not know that though there is no reason not to believe Bob,,is really low.

Too bad someone couldn’t get those videos somehow?

That is exactly how I evaluated Oz Guitar players. Zack is a good guitar player but uses the sequels so much it gets annoying listening to a song he played guitar on. Good points you make. I will take it one step further. Jake was on equal footing with Randy. Oz was so lucky he came along as he was perfect for that time period. The Bark at the moon solo is legendary. I been playing for many years and still mess that one up.

ya but in 1983 he had just joined the Dio band and they had only released one album

@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle he said Dio got 50k a gig and he got $400, it was fascinating that he talked about it. He said, you go do the gig and I'll go to your house and have your chicken fried steak. Really cool guy!

well, it's all in how ya look at it. $300 a week divided by 5 days is $60 divided by 8hrs a day is 7.50 an Hr. That was probably Factory pay, back in the day or a little more. He had to stay on the road touring miserably due to a contract & cheated out of royalties and then Died. Yeah, I bet it wasn't what he dreamed of, but he made incredible music that will last forever.

​@bumblbesss KISS which on effect was only Paul and Gene by 1983 offered Vinny Vincent $500 per week.

Minimum wage was $3.15 then.

Wrong..........!

Good points and true but… you were likely doing minimum wage work where Randy was doing maximum schredding and allowing Ozzy to ascend (and the whole organization). By those measures, he was woefully underpaid.

what show?> their real tension started in February when he told them he wanted to leave and refused to do a Double live album with Sabbath covers, and half Blizzard of ozz songs. Ozzy has romanticized the relationship and of course now he is changing his tune saying Tony is the greatest., he is a fraud

sharon also offered Randy a management fee before they were fired but he turned it down because he did not think he should be paid more than anyone else in the band

truly a shame for all the great artists they ripped off

In many cases piracy is the better moral option.

Hopefully it will make fans that put Dio on a pedestal as "such a nice guy" see that wasn't quite the way it was.

@@incarnate6779 In a way, RJD and his wife had no difference with Ozzy and Sharon. Essentially, they are both personal band which mainly make money for their own.

Bob Daisley said that in 1994 he and Steve Vai worked for the next Ozzy album which came out as 'Ozzmosis' in 1995. Steve Vai said he wrote a few songs for Ozzy and the only song which remained on the album was "My Little Man" but Zakk Wylde played it his own way on the record. Vai said that he recorded stuff that was too heavy for the record company and they told Ozzy to get rid off Steve Vai.

I think a lot of people in the industry knew of the Osbournes and their lowlife proclivities but it was still a coveted job, people wanting to get a chance to launch their careers and also get better by playing Randy's stuff. Jake luckily got some leverage for Ultimate Sin. But it is pathetic to force a musician to sign over stuff because he is young guy with no money,,absolutely horrible, I love Jake's integrity refusing offers to go back to offer unless they credited him on Bark at the Moon, not even seeking retroactive payment

and ripped off Black Sabbath too.What a witch bitch.

we all would or at least him playing with a much classier singer

he absolutely did, then you are suggesting he is the biggest mangina cuck to walk this earth. Any man who lets his wife run amok like that and does not have any say is a gutless coward and cuck. That is even worse than believing he signed off on everything which he did, Jake E Lee said he knew he was getting screwed over. Ozzy's quote in the press release about re-recording the two masterpiece albums. Randy, Bob and Lee wrote the albums that Blizzard of ozz recorded.

🕎✅

Yes that's what Bob Daisey says, "Ozzy had been fired from BLACK SABBATH for being non-productive and continuously drunk and consequently had earned himself a bad reputation. Randy, Lee and I supported Ozzy to get him back on his feet. I know QUIET RIOT, Randy's L.A. band, couldn't get a recording contract which goes to show that Randy wasn't the 'cavalry' alone, or maybe they would've been signed on the strength of Randy alone. Ozzy was 'the name' with the following that came from BLACK SABBATH and that helped us a lot, which is the reason we accepted a lesser royalty rate to Ozzy, but never got paid anyway. Randy was a fantastic guitarist with great song ideas and Ozzy had the 'trade mark' voice. He wasn't/isn't a great singer but he was original with a recognisable voice. Randy and I put most of the first album together musically and Ozzy's vocal melodies were creative and important. I think the lyrics are equally important to the whole thing as are the drum and bass parts."

@@karsguitarchannel6088 as for Quiet Riot, I think it’s fair to say that Kevin DeBrow was the guy making all of the musical and song decisions. He tried everything. And Randy was just developing as a writer himself. I don’t recall anything by Quiet Riot resembling his classical style in those early days. DeBrow was just looking for a hit to be signed.

you could forge the contract of a dead man to rip off his family not sure which is worse both are horrible

How do ya think Ozzy is still kickin? Stolen years of Rhodes

Tip Of The Day: Don't fly with a pilot who's high on cocaine.

I've often thought that

She got cancer and he is parkinsons... Randy was a horrible accident

Believe half of what you hear perhaps?

I agree. Sharon learned from her father, in her defense when you are playing with wolves, you learn to bite. I don't condone those practices but then I was never in that business. It all comes down to the type of business you are in and what you need to do to make it a success. It's my belief that Ozzy and Randy were best friends. Even today when talking about Randy, Ozzie tears up. I doubt he even knew what Sharon was doing because he was always lit, he preferred the fun side of the business. I am not making excuses, I'm just saying, these things happen all the time in every big business so no one should be shocked. I think Sharon did what she felt she had to, she played a man's game and won. A lot of people benefitted from that. You also right about making the big bucks. AC/DC did't start pulling in the big bucks until Back in Black and they had been touring for around 5 yrs to that point. You gotta pay your dues if you want to play the blues 😁😁

I only agree with Ozzys part in all of this back then. But everything can be negotiated. Just look at the writers' strike in hollywood. Everyone learned how crooked the business was. People can always choose to be grateful and appreciative of the most valuable people around them. Sharon chose to underappreciate Rhoads- a valuable and key asset. I dont mind if she screwed road crews, drivers, catering, etc but she should have taken cared of someone important as Randy- its a no brainer!!!!

If you listen carefully, it was $100 per week, not $100 per day.

"Gave very little to Sharon and Ozzy" Lol! You actually believe that crap. Like Donny would keep his baby hag Sharon on a string. Ozzy maybe, but not Sharon, she knew exactly what she was doing and had a pile of family money to operate and, most importantly, fall back on.
