We always appreciate your thoughts and feedback. We're going to answer your questions! I'll be going through some of the questions here, and Bob will provide the answers in a video that we'll be posting. All you need to do is two things: subscribe to our channel and post your questions. I'll be interviewing Bob this week, so start posting your questions! Plus, you just might see your name and question on that episode. As always... who loves you baby? We do!
I absolutely have questions for Bob Daisley, but I might have Steve Machat relay to him....just kidding 1) I know Bob views Jeff Beck as his favorite, but does he think if Randy had lived, he could have gotten to that level..... 2) can Bob confirm or speculate if Randy were going to do the third studio album, Kelle alleges that Randy would have 3) did he once think what could have been with that band, Blizzard of ozz, while he played at the US Festival 4) can he cofirm that the band was called Blizzard of ozz through Diary of a mAdman, and it was Steve Machat signing Ozzy to CBS that empowered Darth Hideous ( Sharon Osbourne) to fire Lee and then subsequently Bob 5) does he feel bad for Jake E Lee or cringe any time he looks at the Bark At the Moon credits with Ozzy writing all music and lyrics
I slapped this on 25 Randy Rhoads facebook groups and people are sending me questions for Bob Dave, can you please ask Bob if they ever played (You Said It All) live other than on the released photo disk of (Live Mr Crowley) We all know Randy‘s solo was recorded outside in the mobile recording studio on this album. But I’m just curious if they ever played it live. Thank you..
ANother question for Bob: In the John Stix book, Ozzy says that he and Randy wrote most of the first album before "the other guys (Bob and Lee") were in the band. How does Bob feel about that sort of revisionist history?
Q from Gabriel Martinez on the Randy Rhoads The legend Forever page: I´d like to ask Bob if he signed any restriction about Randy´s legacy , you know, any legal stuff.... or if he is afraid of reprecutions of him spreading some memorabilia...
This performance from Japan in 1984 with Jake, Bob, Tommy with no keyboards is my favorite live concert recording of Ozzy - ua-cam.com/video/Q6qs8pg-PMA/v-deo.htmlsi=kMV7PNnF7kbkbMjd
He should be so much more famous. Just his work with Ozzy is up in the all time greatest lyrics ever written. Everywhere he’s gone he definitely raised the band level way up!
What people constantly seem to "forget" (or never think about) is that: Ozzy never wrote lyrics. ...That is, he started to, later. Had to. ...but: in Sabbath, it was Geezer (with a few things, from time-to-time, thrown in by Ozz) ...after not having written for years and, also, having the severe struggles, at the time, with his addictions and mental health; Ozzy did NOT "spring forth" from the floor of a hotel room and his own piss & vomit, to, simply, start writing the bases of '80s Metal, "like magic!" Bob wrote ALL of the lyrics for: the classic Blizzard albums (Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman) and continued having songs on Ozzy's albums (in a diminishing capacity, following Bark At The Moon, but still!....) through when Zakk joined the band! I don't hate Ozzy and don't wish to denigrate his talents or contributions, at all! ...but people often, ignorantly, give Ozzy credit for the words he sang in Black Sabbath as well as his solo career (particularly early-on and with the Blizzard Of Ozz!) and should be informed/reminded that: Ozzy DELIVERED those words, but he did NOT write them. That came from other people (and in the case of Ozzy's solo career: from Mr. Bob Daisley (to a majority extent!)!). 🤘🤘
The thing Ozzy does have control over is the professionally filmed Diary of a Madman tour with Randy. It's a shame. The way Sharon and Ozzy treated Lee and Bob is rotten. Thank you for the upload.
it is disgusting how low class they were when Lee was dying making him beg for those platinum discs .... I appreciate people are covering this, when I blasted Jack about this In October I did not know it would come to this
@@Twotontessie we know there is video there is evidence of it on youtube from Detroit and the family has the video but the Osbounres have not agreed to let it be released
Thank you Bob, for everything you put into my two favorite albums of all time, Blizzard and Diary. They are imo, perfect. The music, the lyrics, the vibe...just perfect! Thank you, and God bless.
WTF are Jack and Kelly even opening their mouths, for they weren’t even alive and all of this went on,, and no one would even know who they are. If it wasn’t for their dad they’ve done nothing of merit themselves zero nothing.. and their mother has ripped off everybody in the music business at least once
Jack got involved because I made a snide comment to him, I am the guy "spouting off" He is wrong about me NOT answering I sent a tome to him with facts. He ran it back to his mom, and they are trying to shoot this down and control the narrative.
Thank you, i love what you posted, Bob and Max Norman , kept telling sharon, leave it alone we have a well oiled machine here, why would you want to muck it up, and that is exactly what she did, i respect the players who would not re-record the bass and drum parts, the ones who did are SCABS in my opinion, all they have is mostly money generated from the Blizzard of Oz Band, or it at least is the stuff that got most of us hooked, listen to any of Ozzy lp without Bob writing, all shit.....Jan S
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oraclehe's still out there running his mouth about it...fact is Sharon doesn't wanna give any of the musicians credit...tell them we do not give a shit if the quality is bad..which is a lie btw
Stop it, Jack is a very smart guy, he used to book bands for festivals, he does know a lot. Once Sharon and Ozzy are done, Jack will more than likely inherit the business and have say as to what happens with future projects. It's @sdholes like you that constantly bag on people that can be allies in furthering Randy's legacy by finding footage or working on a special project. All you idiots just want stuff, they have to invest money, package everything...Jack knows how much RR meant to Ozzy. Truth is they probably want to feature only the best to take care of RR's legacy. I would bet money that no matter what, if ever, they put out of old Ozzy/Randy after all their bitching and moaning, they'll still complain about it. Do us a favor "I'm the butthead that complained", shut up, it's up to Ozzy, Sharon, and Randy's family to decide the future of these things...
I agree ! Jack also has a tone about Bob like he was nothing .. when he speaks about him . The moron doesn't realize .. he wouldn't have grew up in mansions !! if Bob and Randy didn't write the music for their father .
No, she is not . Show me on highly thought out decision she has made that was not motivated by greed and that anyone else could have come up with. I will give her credit for having the band record that second album so they could ship the band to a US Label but we all know now that was so she could fire Lee and Bob. IN fact there are many instances where she made horrible decisions that blew up in her face. You know she turned down a chance to manage Journey saying they were not good nor would be as big as ELO
@@savagedick1462 No she is a stupid one who makes decisions based on pure greed. Never has she made a shrewd decision, bank robbers are shrewd business people? She is a POS.....
Recent Ozzbourne Podcast Sharon Commented on tapes bob has and stated It's Randy's Family who will determine anything regarding the tapes..it was all done on Cassette old school style
Yea, when he stopped working with Bob and Jake! Zakk's good but the overplayed & annoying pinch harmonics on all the Ozzy/Randy era tunes & the Jake/Ozzy era tunes & all the tunes Ozzy did with Sabbath, just ruins them. And I'm not the only one who's complained about Zakk's playing on the tunes I just mentioned.
For facts sake, is an excellent book. Very honest and highly entertaining. I would recommend it to everybody. I contacted, Bob, thinking that he wouldn't reply but he did and we even had a small " conversation " about it. He's a lovely guy.
Bob is clearly NOT the hold up or problem Remember he sued them in 2016, and Sharon decided to wage a public war insulting Bob and saying he is harassing them
@TheRockOracle I remember it well. Bob tells his story in For Facts Sake, and I have to say that I believe Bob completely take everything that the Osbornes say with a complete lack of belief
Sharon’s dad was Don Arden, one of the biggest crooks EVER in the music biz. Even though she had a serious falling out with him, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Poor Bob, he deserved much better.
My guess is Sharon/Ozzy doesn't want to allow it's release because it will show Bob actually did write these songs along with the rest of the band & confirm his lawsuits that he deserves royalties for his contributions. As far as the technology today being able to clean up the recordings and make them more up to date , so to speak , in my opinion that would ruin them . The whole concept of them being dubbed the "holy grail" is the rawness of the creative process playing out & working up to the final recordings we have on the album . Other than removing background noises or turning up the volume to clarity purposes I'd personally prefer them to be as they were recorded by Bob on his boombox. Getting into what Jack/Sharon said about they should be released by Randy's family I'd say Bob should approach the Rhoads family & come to an agreement where they receive some form of compensation or at least give it their blessing to be released. This would put the Osbourne camp on the spot to follow through on their reasoning as to why they aren't allowing the release. I love Ozzy, as Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time , but the disrespect and bad business practices they've pulled on Bob Lee & Jake are disgusting... excusing Ozzy from that as far as saying it's Sharon's doing & not Ozzy is just garbage as far as I'm concerned.
Agree with you, not 'excusing Ozzy' but Sharon's influence on the 'bad business practices' looms large... plenty of history there and not just with the Blizzard of Oz band, how did they/she treat Bill Ward ? Gezzer Butler ? Most of that came directly from Sharon... ?
Whether the quality is good, bad or indifferent, it’s Randy, Bob and Lee, and we want to hear it. It’s historically important! Sharon has laid down the gauntlet though, work with Randy’s family and release it all! I’m up for 7 different versions of Mr. Crowley. 😁😁😁🎸🎸
Bob is such an amazing and creative and solid and melodic bassist and his website is so great. Love him. His recordings pf this stuff are so cool. I’d love to hear these.
The world needs these tapes! Randy was the Hendrix of his generation. He took what was there and built a skyscraper temple of talent on top of what came before.
Sharon saying "The tapes should be given to Randy's family" is bullshit. Randy would definitely want people to hear them. Just imagine how different it would be if Sharon owned them. I mean of course Randy's family should have them but so should the world!
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr There'd be no difference whether Randy's family or Sharon had the Holy Grail. Randy's family unfortunately doesn't have the rights to everything Randy did for ozz. Sharon owns that. That's why Bob can't release the Holy Grail. And Sharon is too worried about losing money rather than caring about anything Randy's fans want. If they had a shred of decency they would have done a Randy documentary years ago. They wouldn't cooperate with Andre Relis who released Randy Reflections of a guitar icon. And Randy's siblings didn't cooperate either. That's the strange thing but I'd bet anything that Sharon held something over them so they wouldn't be involved in the documentary.
Ozzy and Sharon never appreciated all that Bob had done to help his career. All the lyrics, music, great bass playing, and everything else. It's just unreal how they treat the people that made his biggest and best material.
I don’t believe anything that Sharon says, because if she doesn’t control every aspect of Ozzy’s life ,then nobody else should! There’s a reason why she’s one of the most hated personalities in the entertainment industry!
I love Bob Daisley, he did all the lyrics on the those first couple albums and he helped write some ideas and arrange songs on Blizzard, Diary and Bark, and so forth. But people say once Ozzy and Sharon is gone, Jack is going to release stuff of Randy Rhoads.
He and Randy wrote all of it. Lee played drums. Ozzy had to beaten to do anything and everyone involved had to be patient. Ozzy wrote no lyrics, Bob did. Ozzy had no riffs or ideas or even lyrics at all. Bob Daisley was the lyricist. Randy, Bob and Lee Kerslake were responsible. Bob later did Bark At The Moon with Jake. He also did several songs on NoRest and No More Tears. Bob Daisley's contribution to Ozzy's solo career is quite staggering.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle The Blizzard band, Lee Kerslake and Randy and Bob. Bob wrote the lyrics, he was also along with randy the song writer. He even wrote the lyrics to Bark even though getting fired and played on the record. Bob had thick skin. He and Jake were instrumental for this record. Ozzy wrote nothing, He is great singer and love him regardless.
Bob should have the creative freedom to release these sessions. As he was a Huge Portion of Ozzy's healing from the dark side. While helping Ozzy create his own legendary brand. Apart from Sabbath. That we have all come to know. And. Love. After all. Sharon owes that forum to Bob. Outside of the royalties they both owe to Bob. Lee. And. Randy's estates. It would be THE RIGHT THING to do. RELEASE THE TAPES, BOB!!!
they were a band until Steve Machat shopped the albums to US labels, and signed Ozzy to CBS, he did not sign the other 3 which opened the door to Sharon to fire them Sharon tried to make Bob and lee look like session players paid to play
@@lolatu8255 No they thought that until really the tour jackets were handed out as Ozzy osbounre, the eponymous debut is just that but they allowed Ozzy to put his name on the cover but the font was bigger than expected
I saw Ozzy and Motörhead on the blizzard of oz album in 1981 and remember a big camera filming in the middle of the floor in front of the mix boards ! And the concert ticket was 6 dollars !
Yeah, they pro-shot alot of the Blizzard tour and supposedly the Diary tour with Randy also, according to Max Norman when he was doing the Tribute album, He didn't have to do hardly anything to Randy's and Tommy Aldridges stuff saying what you hear is true but he said Ozzys vocals at times were bad and Rudy Sarzos bass work was really bad and had to be redubbed, I'm wondering if the pro shot footage is much the same way giving some reason why it may never see the light of day
If you look up the quiet riot gigs, Randy did with quiet riot before he was with Ozzie you will hear snippets of licks. You’ll recognize later on the Ozzie albums during his solos
VERY very "little" maybe, at THAT.... Randy's "Q.R. material" is/was pretty much like night to day comparison to his work with "the Blizzard band"... Night and Day......
Yes some of the stuff is from Quiet Riot songs...small bits, but the genius is what he did with it once he finally had the keys to the car, which he did not with Quiet Riot despite it being his band, producer told them how stuff had to sound
On his guitar solo during a live version of Laughing Gas can hear "Dee" and when the band comes back in, they briefly do the bass/drum beat of Crazy Train. So he definitely had some things sketched out a bit before Ozzy.
@@colourfaze86 And, THAT TOTAL "band collaboration (Rhoads Daisley and Kerslake 🙌) " with the infamous "Hey Oz, how's about THESE lyrics?" 🤔😏, and OZZY singin em? Yes sir, THAT'S WHAT/WHEN and /HOW our Americanized HEAVY METAL WAS created....(NOT gettin into WHO WAS from WHERE and ALL THOSE technicalities Lol) 😎🤘🔥🤘
From Bob d contributing from rainbow to the Ozzy albums. Some of the best melodic metal song writing ever. Bob Daisely deserves tremendous credits. Wish there was more. Thank you!!!
Ozzy & Sharon, who the heck cares about the sound quality!!!??? I mean WE FANS have heard you sing, Ozzy, on your worst days, and yet we supported & rooted for you those times. I know I may not be the only one, but just to have these recordings available to buy are for our collections and the sentimental point of having them. I mean who wouldn't want these recordings?? I know that there are some of US that would love to hear & have the demo version or outtakes of the originals. Because its RAW & LIVE. WE want to experience what the band members experienced at the time of recordings. Your wouldn't have to ask me twice if I wanted them!! 😊 WE all know that there is a crap ton of bootlegs out there recorded on tape, etc. That arent the best quality. How about gripe groan & complain about them? Because you cant. But WE like them, and WE them, just to have them for that experience & raw sound, regardless of how the vocals are. For example, look at Black Sabbath's REUNION, it was super mixed & over dubbed for sure. But some are lucky & like to have the raw recorded version of it.!! Bob, you should maybe get Randy's Family involved in this.?
Bob, DON'T clean up any of the audio on these tapes! We want to hear the RAW thing. Perhaps 2 releases of the tapes, RAW & CLEANED UP?? If you get to releasing them, this I believe would be a good idea. You got me behind you 100% to help to get them released. 😊
It's not surprising Sharon and Jack Osbourne are so out of touch with fans' wishes. It's all monetary, it's all about extracting as much as possible from the fans and continuing the myth that if it weren't for Ozzy, rock and roll wouldnt exist at all. It's not necessarily about the quality of the tapes, it's about what it is. It's about the legacy material, the stories behind the songs that those FOUR created. It's very sad that Ozzy is going to leave us being resented to a certain extent by those of us who bought those first 2 albums to send Ozzy and Sharon on their way to the Holllywood mansions and Rolls Royces. But, after we bought the concert tickets and albums, we were discarded like Bob and Lee and Jake E Lee.
Bob has always been a stand up guy, honest, and candid, he and Lee got screwed by Sharon and Ozzy, I recorded lots of my different bands rehearsals over the years, glad I did, some are good quality, some not, but I captured some great times, some of the members have died, I have them on tape for ever
I could swear Aldridge once said they filmed every show ? I saw the Diary tour with Randy in Dallas, had no idea at the time it wasn't Tommy and Rudy on that album. Wonder if there's any video of the Blizzard band at all ?
THAT IS....the million dollar question,🤔 NO doubt! And considering the timing/era of the Blizzard band? I just do NOT think that THAT is obviously possible, unfortunately....ALL THAT IS left (of such) ARE these "boom box cassette recordings" of, THE BLIZZARD OF OZ "B.A.N.D." per say.... But yeah, WOULDN'T it be soooo AWESOME to have some actual decent recorded LIVE video OF THAT 1st Blizzard BAND and Randy? OR hell, even obviously, the Rudes/ Aldridge lineup with Randy WOULD BE "EPIC" 👀... But yeah 🫤 I don't think SUCH, obviously "exist" unfortunately 😞.... 🤘🔥🤘
No he said they recorded the audio of all shows and Randy and TOmmy would analyze it. Right the Osbournes wanted you to think TOmmy and Rudy recorded it yes in fact there is, a guy recorded shows, he put a part of it from the Detroit show up on youtube, but obscured it for obvious reasons
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle that guy gave the 'Detroit' footage to Kathy Rhoads and wanted the Rhoads family to decide to release it or not.... (he could also throw that footage into a black hole, same outcome....)
That is the question that I've been asking, is there any live footage with Randy, Bob, Lee and Ozzy on stage? There damn well should be bc I know they all toured together for the Blizzard album starting sometime in 1980, on into '81. I've seen a couple of photos of them on stage, but even those are few and far between. I just love the way Lee played on those two albums, and long to hear how close to the studio versions he played his parts live. Tommy is fantastic, but he chose to not duplicate any of Lee Kerslake's drum fills or even play the original drum beats precisely. To me that's a damn shame that he didn't.
Sorry for how stupid this sounds but where are these holy grail tapes? If that's what your talking about. I clicked on the links and it took me to Bobs page. Thanks for the help.
A good question for Bob would be, Max Norman stated to Margolis that South Hampton show was also filmed pro shot when they had a feed going to the remote recording truck outside. Maxed watched it on TV monitor. Is that true? Randy had to rerecord his solo for You Said it all in the back of the truck straight into the recording board Max said cause he wasn't happy with the live version. Also a man was filming and making a Mr Crowley Mtv style video when they were recording Blizzard of Ozz and Ozzy chased the guy out of the Ridge Farm studio taking the footage with him?
Ozzy saying the quality is dreadful is probably about his singing. But what about the pro shot concert footage that supposedly is in the hands of Ozzy and Sharon?
he is wrong, well we know Flying High Again did not have OZZY singing on the demo it had Lee Kerslake .... It is not pro shot it is fan shot from Detroit, 3 shows, allegedly turned over to the Rhoads family but the OSbournes won't allow it
The pro shot video with Randy that looks like what Speak of the Devil became, may have been test filming for the show they ended up doing with Brad. There was some footage on UA-cam, but it was shot from the stage and had some weird camera movements if I remember rightly. What became the Speak of the Devil project would have to have been scheduled way in advance to get video, concert and recording all done at once. Don't think the Osbournes had much choice between doing the project or losing money to cancel it all. I think there is footage from that when ET did the Randy wins the Best New Rock Guitarist Award from Guitar Player Magazine. I honestly believe the Randy stuff was just test video to get a feel for the show, when stuff happens, solos...that kind of thing. I wish there were a whole show, I just don't believe there is, at least not pro shot, ready for release...
I would expect they would do the same to those pro shot footage as what they said in the 'family' podcast: give it to the Rhodes estate and let them decide 🤣
It seems that us fans know more about the Osbournes bullshittery than they do. Sharon’s a liar, ozzy doesn’t know that those tapes are acceptable to our ears and their kids think they know everything via parental indoctrination. The fact is… every single Randy Rhoads and or Blizzard fans (millions) want to hear him!!! It’s about the legacy of one of the most legendary guitarists of all time.. if they can’t make a quid from Randy’s passing, nobody can. How about you all let Bob release them and donate all proceeds to the Rhoads music schools etc… god forbid the osbournes do something noble on Randy’s behalf. I’m sick to my stomach right now… literally. If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Randy I’d have never known the joy of shredding guitar and being a musician and audio engineer for the past 45 years. Release the rights for these tapes you tight ass bastards.. ps .. Sue me, I don’t give a fuck!!! I’m here for Randy Rhoads and nothing more. Rant over. Love your work Bob and RIP Randy and Lee.
It's well and good to bag on the Osbournes, I get it but Bob wants money too! Why doesn't he be noble and just release them to the world on every platform so everyone can quickly download them? Because Bob wants money too, he's just in a situation where he can't ever do it officially or get some kind of writers royalty or share of publishing. Bob, just release it FOR FREE, stop waiting for some magic payment plan that will never happen. Just release it so fans can have it. Bob is just as much to blame if not More than the Osbournes...
@@RichardGutierrezRG Do you understand publishing, royalties, trademark etc… if you did, you’d know his hands are tied. And DONT ever say he’s to blame as much as the OZ fam until you get your facts straight.
@@RichardGutierrezRGSharon O would sue him into next century!! This is an evil woman...Ozzy has no balls...and he's a liar too. I have heard from someone else in the band at one time, Sharon is bad , Ozzy is no Saint.
Listen, it would be great but...the Osbournes and Rhoads family would have to agree and sign off on it. The Rhoads family have a partial ownership, not a majority which the Osbournes have. The Osbournes have always taken care of Randy's family and his legacy so the Rhoads family would never go against them. The tapes CANNOT be released without the proper permission because they own the music...Bob unfortunately does not and even if he did, he'd have a minority share or would need one of the others to outvote the other...it gets complicated even without copywrites. Look at Van Halen and the mess with ADifferent Kind of Truth not being on streaming platforms because a certain member won't sign off on a new contract with Spotify because he doesn't like the music. The only other scenario is if Bob just releases all of it as a dump on every platform so it will just be out there! But he wants money for what he has..,so let's not paint Bob as being some kind of saint...he wants money too...
@@RichardGutierrezRG I agree with most of what you said besides the Osbourne family taking care of Randy's legacy. They haven't done shite for Randy's legacy /memory.
What I don't understand is, if there's live concert footage, or recordings of Randy Rhoads, who are Sharon and Ozzy to prevent them from being released!? Why can't they share with the rest of us!? We love Randy too!? Nothing would be better than seeing a clear, pro-shot video of Randy live!!!
There is both but unfortunately Sharon owns the rights to everything Randy did for ozz. Randy's brother and sister can't even release anything from Randy besides Quiet riot stuff. And Bob can't release the Holy Grail cause they'd sue the crap out of him. It's a real shame that Sharon holds the keys to anything having to do with Randy and Oz.
The truth is…OZZY and SHARON don’t have the last word concerning Randy. He wasn’t a trademark for Ozzy. He was his own man and I think he would want this since he was falling out with Ozzy at the end
Lucky to have a copy of the book, signed by Bob, thanks to Utopia Records and got a copy for a huge fan when he played here in Sydney with Cradle Of Filth. Not only saved on postage to the Czech Republic but caught up in person at the gig! 😆🤩
I recorded my bands on cheap tape decks, and I thank God I did I can hear me and my friends who have passed jamming our fn brains out and quality is just fine. 40 years later I have transferred the tapes to cd and have given to lost bandmates familys, not just songs but the talk in between songs at practice.
Why hasn't anybody asked Kathy Rhoads what she has. Almost 3 years ago to the day when Musonia was robbed, Kathy says in an interview with The Metal Voice (ua-cam.com/video/MA3AgzCmXcI/v-deo.html) when she's talking about the fans (it starts at 14:00 in) she says "So you didn't get one thing you wanted right now, that doesn't mean it's not coming. I'm just trying to do it right...big huge point I wanna get out there, and there's some video of my brother that they think, you know, that I've been hiding. I have it, I'm just trying to make thing's right, to get it the right way, and the right representation. I'm not going to hoard it forever, please people. " So it seems that not too many listeners caught her saying that, but she obviously has some kind of video of Randy. But now that was 3 years ago, and I don't think (to my knowledge) that she ever released anything like that. That would be interesting to see what that's about.
It’s a shame but Ozzy has turned into a clown, controlled by Sharon & if it wasn’t for Bob Daisley, who wrote Blizzard of Ozz & Diary, he may have ended up killing him self. Bob & Randy saved Ozzy’s life & career, Bob wrote many of Rainbow’s biggest hits too, the guy is a writing machine & a great bass player who is well respected in the business. Ozzy is done, just retire & go away & I hate to say that because those first two albums are my two favorite albums of all time, masterpieces!
Great to hear Bob again. Such a great musician and writer and very true that Ozzy's best work was with Bob. Taking the side of the Osbournes when it comes to Randy's untimely passing, I really do think that any mention of Randy saddens him as Randy gave him hope, and a life back in music -- and what a life it has been. Jack O is always behind the release of Randy material, whenever he can. The documentary listening yo the Crazy Train mix Jack sees the OG recording I Southampton, with Bob, saying they should listen to it. Ozzy declines and looks Sad. Bob's tape will see the light of day and as he says the technology is there to make them sound great.
WHEN.....though? He SAYS "tomorrow!" but yet....? I guess there's just TOO much "behind the scenes feelings" with Bob Daisley on HOW it would/could "go down" obviously, with HOW the whole Osbourne camp HAS treated him (and HOW MANY OTHER ex OZZY bamdmates?)..... JUST really sad 😞 The world COULD use/NEEDS MORE RANDY RHOADS 🎸 😎🤘🔥🤘
I am quite frankly sick of Ozzy and Sharon, to the point of not wanting to listen to Ozzy anymore.....best left in the past with Randy. I have heard enough.
There are snippets out there now thanks to Bob, so there is no....do they really exist or not and Jack is wrong. The quality is good or good/poor, but not Poor nor Horrible. That's incorrect. YES, it's on one of the old 4-track recorders, but it's not out of the console and personal property of Bob. People don't, excuse my french, GIVE A...FUCK...of the quality Sharon. They want ALL of th material available and there is very little available compared to other musicians, like Hendrix, etc. that were in a period way before Randy! So, we want it. This is what MILLIONS of people want and wanted and now it's been 40 YEARS and partially because of YOU (Sharon). In regard to...Bob should GIVE it to the Rhoads family....ABSOLUTELY NOT. It's Bob's and the Rhoads family could just profit exclusively for it and Randy and mom are now dead. No, I don't think Bob should do that, nor have to. I don't know the legalese, but really think, if need be, ALL should signoff on it and how divied up....50% to Bob for having the material and being one of the people in the band, 25% to Ozzy and 25% to Rhoads. Really, I would love for everyone to sign off on it and Bob to provide it for FREE to the public.
ANother question for Bob: In the John Stix book, Ozzy says that he and Randy wrote most of the first album before "the other guys (Bob and Lee") were in the band. How does Bob feel about that sort of revisionist history?
I heard the snippets and it's pure fucking gold! I don't know if Bob plans to market the 8 hours of tapes he has but if he does I will be the first in line to pay whatever price he asks.
So Dio left rainbow to join Sabbath and Bob to hook up with Ozzy..... I know the tapes I made of jamming with a boombox were played over and over. There was no mixing, compression, panning, eqing and side chain compression or gain staging and mic placement, and they sounded great, because it was live and the volume filled the room and the mic's. Cymbals might get out of hand if you raise the recording device off the floor. Couple of jams and you figure out where it sits best, like a 1950's one mic recording.
Question: what if Bob stayed with Black Sabbath after Enternal Idol and made more albums with the lineup Tony Iommi, Tony Martin and his old Rainbow buddy Cozy Powell? Imagine how great that lineup would've been. 😢
I liked that Gillis Ozzy show . Originally taped for mtv as a Halloween special. Then circulated as a bootleg till ozzy decided to cash in on it and release it through that tacky production company eagle entertainment
Bob Daisley is originally from New Zealand. In 1970 he was in a Fantastic Band from their called Kahvas Jute. I have a vinyl copy of the album. I recommend everyone to buy it if you can. GREAT BAND!!
Thumbs up for the Khavas Jute mention ! Another good rock album out of NZ @ the time = Ticket “let sleeping dogs lie” some really good guitar playing on a few tracks
I have seen the gig at Irvine meadows with Brad gillis, but nothing with randy playing......I would fucking love to see that!! When I was a kid I really remember when he died.....he was one of the reasons I started playing guitar!! Along with maiden,kiss,Ritchie Blackmore, Angus Young, my cousin got to see him play twice with ozzy ......lucky bastard!! Haha! Loveeternalpeople
Some of the best sounding recordings I’ve heard were done on “little cassette players” or boom boxes set up in the room. There is an honesty to them, and the mix was always good if it was in the right place in the room. I miss being able to record rehearsals and such in that way. They sounded so much better, more raw and honest, and usually better mixed, than the modern digital garbage. A band sounded like a band.
Your right i cassette recorded almost every band i was in and some are as good as studio recordingd i have many of them online on different music sites.
Best recording I had ever done was myself, an acoustic guitar and singing in a motel bathroom. The echo in the bathroom really gave the sound something special. I agree with you, a boombox and cassette tapes were the best.
Randy was my very concert at 13 years old in Cincinnati February 1982 Diary of a Madman. I've seen at least 3,000+ concert since including Metallica/Pantera last week in Detriot Ford Field and was by far the Best Guitarist Especially LIVE out of the entire 3,000+ concerts. I do know from someone directly associated with the band that Ozzy has Cassette tapes ran directly through and from the soundboard both Tours
If the Osbourne's wanted to take the high road, they could. All parties or Estates would have to come to some kind of agreement about releasing "The Holy Grail". Full stop! Not fair, and just plain deflective, to put it on the Rhoads family. We all know the Osbourne's would have to sign off on it. They'd rather poo-poo it than give Bob any $. It's plain to see it's all about money, from the 30th anniversary and now the 40th anniversary releases. Hmm, why are there new live recordings of Randy on these releases? Some of them are better versions than what was put out on "Tribute". A REAL tribute to Randy, would be a box-set, with EVERYTHING Randy did with The Blizzard of Ozz, and of course, like any Anthology, the Grail would be a must have addition. Ozzy would be the first to stand in line to buy/hear "a crap" recording of The Beatles in Hamburg, ... so please spare us the statement "It sounds like crap!" - We've heard snippets, and in 2023, those can be cleaned up and boosted properly, ... as you guys were saying, The Beatles just did that with "Now and Then".
I did some recording one time in a motel room bathroom on a boombox back in the 80's. And the quality of it surprised me. The acoustics in the bathroom sounded great. It was just me and an acoustic guitar and singing. I was really surprised. And I have always said that, that was the best sound I had gotten out of any recording.
Everything Randy did was always fantastic. Sound quality aside. I sometimes wonder if Ozzy maybe doesn’t like how he sounds himself on these recordings. Some recordings you can hear OZZYs voice struggling and repeating lyrics seemingly forgetting the actual verses.
Definitely recordings from a boom box can be very well recorded , from personal experience it can be easily transferred into very dynamic sounding releases
I've listened to the clips on Bob's website and as a huge Randy Rhoads fan since the Blizzard Of Ozz album. I would love to hear these in full retrospect.
It can be released if it's not for profit. Nobody can do anything about it unless you are making money from it. WE used to live mic club shows simply hanging two microphones from the ceiling area close to the mix position so we could play back the show. WE did it on cassette deck. Simple two mics. one left and one right and played in stereo so it worked great. There have been a few times when I thought the other guitarist was playing and always thought he was better me but we were never about that. We played harmony guitar parts and liked doing do it.
Oh my god..I'm 54,randy died and I hadn't even discovered blizzard yet,just ont cusp of understanding the genius we just lost. What they wouldn't give as the players they were to hear this stuff..they all recorded their shit in worse cassette players😂,sometimes a four track. I really hope one day kinda soon you can allow those of us who still remember every nuance of those two iconic albums to hear you guys in the raw just being the original guys, and obviously the sheer sickness of Randy that's only on those tapes,that's it. Thanks for what you've been able to put out..fascinating
We always appreciate your thoughts and feedback. We're going to answer your questions! I'll be going through some of the questions here, and Bob will provide the answers in a video that we'll be posting. All you need to do is two things: subscribe to our channel and post your questions. I'll be interviewing Bob this week, so start posting your questions! Plus, you just might see your name and question on that episode. As always... who loves you baby? We do!
I absolutely have questions for Bob Daisley, but I might have Steve Machat relay to him....just kidding
1) I know Bob views Jeff Beck as his favorite, but does he think if Randy had lived, he could have gotten to that level.....
2) can Bob confirm or speculate if Randy were going to do the third studio album, Kelle alleges that Randy would have
3) did he once think what could have been with that band, Blizzard of ozz, while he played at the US Festival
4) can he cofirm that the band was called Blizzard of ozz through Diary of a mAdman, and it was Steve Machat signing Ozzy to CBS that empowered Darth Hideous ( Sharon Osbourne) to fire Lee and then subsequently Bob
5) does he feel bad for Jake E Lee or cringe any time he looks at the Bark At the Moon credits with Ozzy writing all music and lyrics
I slapped this on 25 Randy Rhoads facebook groups and people are sending me questions for Bob
Dave, can you please ask Bob if they ever played (You Said It All) live other than on the released photo disk of (Live Mr Crowley)
We all know Randy‘s solo was recorded outside in the mobile recording studio on this album. But I’m just curious if they ever played it live. Thank you..
ANother question for Bob: In the John Stix book, Ozzy says that he and Randy wrote most of the first album before "the other guys (Bob and Lee") were in the band.
How does Bob feel about that sort of revisionist history?
Q from Gabriel Martinez on the Randy Rhoads The legend Forever page: I´d like to ask Bob if he signed any restriction about Randy´s legacy , you know, any legal stuff.... or if he is afraid of reprecutions of him spreading some memorabilia...
Is Bob ever coming out to see his friend, Jimmy DeGrasso's A league cover band, Pet Rock in the Bay Area ?
Asking for a friend.
Anytime Daisley appeared with whom ever, the game was raised. He’s definitely a catalyst and a total pro.
Well said true point
Imagine after the Enteral Idol he stayed with Black Sabbath with Tony Martin, Iommi and Cozy Powell. Imagine how great that lineup would've been.
This performance from Japan in 1984 with Jake, Bob, Tommy with no keyboards is my favorite live concert recording of Ozzy - ua-cam.com/video/Q6qs8pg-PMA/v-deo.htmlsi=kMV7PNnF7kbkbMjd
He should be so much more famous. Just his work with Ozzy is up in the all time greatest lyrics ever written. Everywhere he’s gone he definitely raised the band level way up!
What people constantly seem to "forget" (or never think about) is that: Ozzy never wrote lyrics.
...That is, he started to, later. Had to.
...but: in Sabbath, it was Geezer (with a few things, from time-to-time, thrown in by Ozz)
...after not having written for years and, also, having the severe struggles, at the time, with his addictions and mental health; Ozzy did NOT "spring forth" from the floor of a hotel room and his own piss & vomit, to, simply, start writing the bases of '80s Metal, "like magic!"
Bob wrote ALL of the lyrics for: the classic Blizzard albums (Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman) and continued having songs on Ozzy's albums (in a diminishing capacity, following Bark At The Moon, but still!....) through when Zakk joined the band!
I don't hate Ozzy and don't wish to denigrate his talents or contributions, at all!
...but people often, ignorantly, give Ozzy credit for the words he sang in Black Sabbath as well as his solo career (particularly early-on and with the Blizzard Of Ozz!) and should be informed/reminded that:
Ozzy DELIVERED those words, but he did NOT write them.
That came from other people (and in the case of Ozzy's solo career: from Mr. Bob Daisley (to a majority extent!)!).
🤘🤘
The thing Ozzy does have control over is the professionally filmed Diary of a Madman tour with Randy. It's a shame. The way Sharon and Ozzy treated Lee and Bob is rotten. Thank you for the upload.
There is no such thing
Look at how they treated Jake E Lee.
What happened to Sharon's face? 😆
it is disgusting how low class they were when Lee was dying making him beg for those platinum discs ....
I appreciate people are covering this, when I blasted Jack about this In October I did not know it would come to this
@@Twotontessie we know there is video there is evidence of it on youtube from Detroit and the family has the video but the Osbounres have not agreed to let it be released
@@ellapetty1964 their treatment of Jake is pitiful
The songwriting team of Daisley, Rhoads, and Kerslake (and to some extent Airey), was incredible.
Amen!!
Ozzy didn’t sell his soul to the devil while in Black Sabbath. He gave it to the devil in the form of a wedding ring after leaving.
Her face........what happened
No truer words have been spoken.
Just look at his health.
@@firepraise510I agree about Sharon. But his health was gone before her
cosmetic work, I read about it a few months ago.@@ellapetty1964
He Married a member of the Synagogue of Satan. Check out her father Don Arden, gangster.
Thank you Bob, for everything you put into my two favorite albums of all time, Blizzard and Diary. They are imo, perfect. The music, the lyrics, the vibe...just perfect! Thank you, and God bless.
two masterpieces but let's not forget the albums he did after the blizzard of ozz albums, fantastic the guy is an all time great
Two thumbs up to that !!
Absolutely 💯
WTF are Jack and Kelly even opening their mouths, for they weren’t even alive and all of this went on,, and no one would even know who they are. If it wasn’t for their dad they’ve done nothing of merit themselves zero nothing.. and their mother has ripped off everybody in the music business at least once
Jack got involved because I made a snide comment to him, I am the guy "spouting off"
He is wrong about me NOT answering I sent a tome to him with facts.
He ran it back to his mom, and they are trying to shoot this down and control the narrative.
Thank you, i love what you posted, Bob and Max Norman , kept telling sharon, leave it alone we have a well oiled machine here, why would you want to muck it up, and that is exactly what she did, i respect the players who would not re-record the bass and drum parts, the ones who did are SCABS in my opinion, all they have is mostly money generated from the Blizzard of Oz Band, or it at least is the stuff that got most of us hooked, listen to any of Ozzy lp without Bob writing, all shit.....Jan S
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oraclehe's still out there running his mouth about it...fact is Sharon doesn't wanna give any of the musicians credit...tell them we do not give a shit if the quality is bad..which is a lie btw
Stop it, Jack is a very smart guy, he used to book bands for festivals, he does know a lot. Once Sharon and Ozzy are done, Jack will more than likely inherit the business and have say as to what happens with future projects. It's @sdholes like you that constantly bag on people that can be allies in furthering Randy's legacy by finding footage or working on a special project. All you idiots just want stuff, they have to invest money, package everything...Jack knows how much RR meant to Ozzy. Truth is they probably want to feature only the best to take care of RR's legacy. I would bet money that no matter what, if ever, they put out of old Ozzy/Randy after all their bitching and moaning, they'll still complain about it. Do us a favor "I'm the butthead that complained", shut up, it's up to Ozzy, Sharon, and Randy's family to decide the future of these things...
I agree ! Jack also has a tone about Bob like he was nothing .. when he speaks about him . The moron doesn't realize .. he wouldn't have grew up in mansions !! if Bob and Randy didn't write the music for their father .
Bob deserves his piece of the pie. Fans deserve to hear this. Come on Sharon
the fact they did not want to pay a royalty is pitiful, Darth Hideous is the worst
Sharon is a shrewd businessman. She would rather spend millions on facial cosmetics than pay bob a dime for royalties.
No, she is not . Show me on highly thought out decision she has made that was not motivated by greed and that anyone else could have come up with.
I will give her credit for having the band record that second album so they could ship the band to a US Label but we all know now that was so she could fire Lee and Bob.
IN fact there are many instances where she made horrible decisions that blew up in her face. You know she turned down a chance to manage Journey saying they were not good nor would be as big as ELO
@@savagedick1462 No she is a stupid one who makes decisions based on pure greed. Never has she made a shrewd decision, bank robbers are shrewd business people?
She is a POS.....
Recent Ozzbourne Podcast Sharon Commented on tapes bob has and stated It's Randy's Family who will determine anything regarding the tapes..it was all done on Cassette old school style
The question is when is Ozzy going to admit that his albums have sucked since he stopped working with Bob.
I'd love to hear Bob's take on that.
Yeah, once bob was gone , ozzys albums just pop metal rubbish
the quality has suffered absolutely no coincidence....No More tears got lucky but Bob still played on that album...though he did not write it
Yea, when he stopped working with Bob and Jake! Zakk's good but the overplayed & annoying pinch harmonics on all the Ozzy/Randy era tunes & the Jake/Ozzy era tunes & all the tunes Ozzy did with Sabbath, just ruins them. And I'm not the only one who's complained about Zakk's playing on the tunes I just mentioned.
@bth9318 abolutely lucky it was that successful ...luck is a component of success
@@MasterSumai Annoying pinch harmonics is right. Enough already. zakks whole act is sickening. Never liked him. No class
For facts sake, is an excellent book. Very honest and highly entertaining. I would recommend it to everybody. I contacted, Bob, thinking that he wouldn't reply but he did and we even had a small " conversation " about it. He's a lovely guy.
Bob is clearly NOT the hold up or problem
Remember he sued them in 2016, and Sharon decided to wage a public war insulting Bob and saying he is harassing them
@TheRockOracle I remember it well. Bob tells his story in For Facts Sake, and I have to say that I believe Bob completely take everything that the Osbornes say with a complete lack of belief
Sharon’s dad was Don Arden, one of the biggest crooks EVER in the music biz. Even though she had a serious falling out with him, the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. Poor Bob, he deserved much better.
right in the book on the Osbournes by Steve Machat he goes into detail about the lowlife she is...
100% !
So did Lee
Sharon did what her dad couldn’t do marry her biggest client 😂😂
Sharon and Ozzy are crooks too.
My guess is Sharon/Ozzy doesn't want to allow it's release because it will show Bob actually did write these songs along with the rest of the band & confirm his lawsuits that he deserves royalties for his contributions.
As far as the technology today being able to clean up the recordings and make them more up to date , so to speak , in my opinion that would ruin them . The whole concept of them being dubbed the "holy grail" is the rawness of the creative process playing out & working up to the final recordings we have on the album . Other than removing background noises or turning up the volume to clarity purposes I'd personally prefer them to be as they were recorded by Bob on his boombox.
Getting into what Jack/Sharon said about they should be released by Randy's family I'd say Bob should approach the Rhoads family & come to an agreement where they receive some form of compensation or at least give it their blessing to be released. This would put the Osbourne camp on the spot to follow through on their reasoning as to why they aren't allowing the release.
I love Ozzy, as Black Sabbath is my favorite band of all time , but the disrespect and bad business practices they've pulled on Bob Lee & Jake are disgusting... excusing Ozzy from that as far as saying it's Sharon's doing & not Ozzy is just garbage as far as I'm concerned.
Agree with you, not 'excusing Ozzy' but Sharon's influence on the 'bad business practices' looms large... plenty of history there and not just with the Blizzard of Oz band, how did they/she treat Bill Ward ? Gezzer Butler ? Most of that came directly from Sharon... ?
this is what many speculate and Bob sort of implies that saying he worries the Osbounres the tapes to make it the Ozzy - Randy story
Idk why cu everyone knows at this point ozzy didn't write those song
@@Bls-of1ld It's about the royalties, greed is at the root of all this.
@@talesofanasphaltjockey so what's it gunna take to get this out?
Whether the quality is good, bad or indifferent, it’s Randy, Bob and Lee, and we want to hear it.
It’s historically important!
Sharon has laid down the gauntlet though, work with Randy’s family and release it all!
I’m up for 7 different versions of Mr. Crowley. 😁😁😁🎸🎸
😏 WORD! 🎸🤘🔥🤘
They shit all over Jake!
Jack can fuck off and keep his pie hole shut.
it is up to the FANS.....the fans should decide.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_OracleWell...... it's up to the one that owns it.
So what happens if the rhoads family wants it released? U think the Osbournes would actually let it happen
I don't care what the quality is I want to hear it!
Thats Right, The quality of Hendrix recording alone was great, But still extremely important to his listeners. Let Us Listen.
The great Bob Daisley ❤
Bob is such an amazing and creative and solid and melodic bassist and his website is so great. Love him. His recordings pf this stuff are so cool. I’d love to hear these.
Couldn't agree more!
The world needs these tapes! Randy was the Hendrix of his generation. He took what was there and built a skyscraper temple of talent on top of what came before.
Sharon saying "The tapes should be given to Randy's family" is bullshit. Randy would definitely want people to hear them. Just imagine how different it would be if Sharon owned them. I mean of course Randy's family should have them but so should the world!
@@PapaEmeritus_4evr There'd be no difference whether Randy's family or Sharon had the Holy Grail. Randy's family unfortunately doesn't have the rights to everything Randy did for ozz. Sharon owns that. That's why Bob can't release the Holy Grail. And Sharon is too worried about losing money rather than caring about anything Randy's fans want. If they had a shred of decency they would have done a Randy documentary years ago. They wouldn't cooperate with Andre Relis who released Randy Reflections of a guitar icon. And Randy's siblings didn't cooperate either. That's the strange thing but I'd bet anything that Sharon held something over them so they wouldn't be involved in the documentary.
Ozzy and Sharon never appreciated all that Bob had done to help his career. All the lyrics, music, great bass playing, and everything else. It's just unreal how they treat the people that made his biggest and best material.
I don’t believe anything that Sharon says, because if she doesn’t control every aspect of Ozzy’s life ,then nobody else should! There’s a reason why she’s one of the most hated personalities in the entertainment industry!
Sharon makes ozzy lie about all the royalties owed to the writer whom happens to be bob and randy. Bob had to teach ozzy how to sing them.
I love Bob Daisley, he did all the lyrics on the those first couple albums and he helped write some ideas and arrange songs on Blizzard, Diary and Bark, and so forth. But people say once Ozzy and Sharon is gone, Jack is going to release stuff of Randy Rhoads.
Who knows man. I won't hold my breath. For all we know, that's just gossip and Wishful-thinking from us Randy fans. :(
He and Randy wrote all of it. Lee played drums. Ozzy had to beaten to do anything and everyone involved had to be patient. Ozzy wrote no lyrics, Bob did. Ozzy had no riffs or ideas or even lyrics at all. Bob Daisley was the lyricist. Randy, Bob and Lee Kerslake were responsible. Bob later did Bark At The Moon with Jake. He also did several songs on NoRest and No More Tears. Bob Daisley's contribution to Ozzy's solo career is quite staggering.
Who says that?
@@chrisharris4975he wrote 3 of ozzy's solo albums, and played on no more tears. He of course was a founding member with a randy of BlizzRd of ozz
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle The Blizzard band, Lee Kerslake and Randy and Bob. Bob wrote the lyrics, he was also along with randy the song writer. He even wrote the lyrics to Bark even though getting fired and played on the record. Bob had thick skin. He and Jake were instrumental for this record. Ozzy wrote nothing, He is great singer and love him regardless.
Bob should have the creative freedom to release these sessions.
As he was a Huge Portion of Ozzy's healing from the dark side.
While helping Ozzy create his own legendary brand.
Apart from Sabbath.
That we have all come to know.
And.
Love.
After all.
Sharon owes that forum to Bob.
Outside of the royalties they both owe to Bob.
Lee.
And.
Randy's estates.
It would be THE RIGHT THING to do.
RELEASE THE TAPES, BOB!!!
When has Sharon ever done the right thing?? Never ~ lying trash
Bob Daisley is the ultimate class act and his book is great!! Oh and he’s a badass bass player and musician!!!!
all time legend the fact he is not a household name is embarrassing
What Some People Forget...They Were The Blizzard Of Ozz...A Band...Not Just One Artist & Performer And Side, Temp Work For Hire Musicians.
They thought they were until the album came out.
Amen
They were supposed to be, at least
they were a band until Steve Machat shopped the albums to US labels, and signed Ozzy to CBS, he did not sign the other 3 which opened the door to Sharon to fire them
Sharon tried to make Bob and lee look like session players paid to play
@@lolatu8255 No they thought that until really the tour jackets were handed out as Ozzy osbounre, the eponymous debut is just that but they allowed Ozzy to put his name on the cover but the font was bigger than expected
just wanna say how I love how Bob Daisley plays on stage, always so serious and focused, playing right on time ~ excellently !
I saw Ozzy and Motörhead on the blizzard of oz album in 1981 and remember a big camera filming in the middle of the floor in front of the mix boards ! And the concert ticket was 6 dollars !
Ticketmaster is why ticket prices are so high!
Yeah, they pro-shot alot of the Blizzard tour and supposedly the Diary tour with Randy also, according to Max Norman when he was doing the Tribute album, He didn't have to do hardly anything to Randy's and Tommy Aldridges stuff saying what you hear is true but he said Ozzys vocals at times were bad and Rudy Sarzos bass work was really bad and had to be redubbed, I'm wondering if the pro shot footage is much the same way giving some reason why it may never see the light of day
Saw the same tour
8 hours of material? This needs to be a Super Deluxe Box Set release! $$$$$$ Take my money please!!!
absolutely fighting to get it done
I think we’d have to wait till Ozzy dies for it to happen, but I don’t know
@@haydenferguson1it's all sharon
If it was in Sharon's hands.....well
If you look up the quiet riot gigs, Randy did with quiet riot before he was with Ozzie you will hear snippets of licks. You’ll recognize later on the Ozzie albums during his solos
VERY very "little" maybe, at THAT.... Randy's "Q.R. material" is/was pretty much like night to day comparison to his work with "the Blizzard band"... Night and Day......
Yes some of the stuff is from Quiet Riot songs...small bits, but the genius is what he did with it once he finally had the keys to the car, which he did not with Quiet Riot despite it being his band, producer told them how stuff had to sound
On his guitar solo during a live version of Laughing Gas can hear "Dee" and when the band comes back in, they briefly do the bass/drum beat of Crazy Train. So he definitely had some things sketched out a bit before Ozzy.
@@colourfaze86 And, THAT TOTAL "band collaboration (Rhoads Daisley and Kerslake 🙌) " with the infamous "Hey Oz, how's about THESE lyrics?" 🤔😏, and OZZY singin em? Yes sir, THAT'S WHAT/WHEN and /HOW our Americanized HEAVY METAL WAS created....(NOT gettin into WHO WAS from WHERE and ALL THOSE technicalities Lol) 😎🤘🔥🤘
Great interview!! I will watch the whole thing in the membership!! Thanks Stefan❤❤❤
So glad too see you in the chat QOA
@@artistsonrecord it was great!!👍
GREAT SONG WRITING, THX BOB D!!!
From Bob d contributing from rainbow to the Ozzy albums. Some of the best melodic metal song writing ever. Bob Daisely deserves tremendous credits. Wish there was more. Thank you!!!
Ozzy & Sharon, who the heck cares about the sound quality!!!??? I mean WE FANS have heard you sing, Ozzy, on your worst days, and yet we supported & rooted for you those times.
I know I may not be the only one, but just to have these recordings available to buy are for our collections and the sentimental point of having them. I mean who wouldn't want these recordings?? I know that there are some of US that would love to hear & have the demo version or outtakes of the originals. Because its RAW & LIVE. WE want to experience what the band members experienced at the time of recordings.
Your wouldn't have to ask me twice if I wanted them!! 😊
WE all know that there is a crap ton of bootlegs out there recorded on tape, etc. That arent the best quality. How about gripe groan & complain about them? Because you cant. But WE like them, and WE them, just to have them for that experience & raw sound, regardless of how the vocals are.
For example, look at Black Sabbath's REUNION, it was super mixed & over dubbed for sure. But some are lucky & like to have the raw recorded version of it.!!
Bob, you should maybe get Randy's Family involved in this.?
Bob, DON'T clean up any of the audio on these tapes! We want to hear the RAW thing. Perhaps 2 releases of the tapes, RAW & CLEANED UP?? If you get to releasing them, this I believe would be a good idea. You got me behind you 100% to help to get them released. 😊
Ozzyn and Metallica ultimate sin tour, oz was horrible. In Syr NY
It's not surprising Sharon and Jack Osbourne are so out of touch with fans' wishes. It's all monetary, it's all about extracting as much as possible from the fans and continuing the myth that if it weren't for Ozzy, rock and roll wouldnt exist at all. It's not necessarily about the quality of the tapes, it's about what it is. It's about the legacy material, the stories behind the songs that those FOUR created. It's very sad that Ozzy is going to leave us being resented to a certain extent by those of us who bought those first 2 albums to send Ozzy and Sharon on their way to the Holllywood mansions and Rolls Royces. But, after we bought the concert tickets and albums, we were discarded like Bob and Lee and Jake E Lee.
Bob has always been a stand up guy, honest, and candid, he and Lee got screwed by Sharon and Ozzy, I recorded lots of my different bands rehearsals over the years, glad I did, some are good quality, some not, but I captured some great times, some of the members have died, I have them on tape for ever
It would be great to hear a bit more of Randy no matter the recording quality ,real fans will appreciate it.
I could swear Aldridge once said they filmed every show ? I saw the Diary tour with Randy in Dallas, had no idea at the time it wasn't Tommy and Rudy on that album. Wonder if there's any video of the Blizzard band at all ?
THAT IS....the million dollar question,🤔 NO doubt! And considering the timing/era of the Blizzard band? I just do NOT think that THAT is obviously possible, unfortunately....ALL THAT IS left (of such) ARE these "boom box cassette recordings" of, THE BLIZZARD OF OZ "B.A.N.D." per say.... But yeah, WOULDN'T it be soooo AWESOME to have some actual decent recorded LIVE video OF THAT 1st Blizzard BAND and Randy? OR hell, even obviously, the Rudes/ Aldridge lineup with Randy WOULD BE "EPIC" 👀... But yeah 🫤 I don't think SUCH, obviously "exist" unfortunately 😞.... 🤘🔥🤘
No, Alrdigde said they made a >>audio
No he said they recorded the audio of all shows and Randy and TOmmy would analyze it.
Right the Osbournes wanted you to think TOmmy and Rudy recorded it
yes in fact there is, a guy recorded shows, he put a part of it from the Detroit show up on youtube, but obscured it for obvious reasons
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle that guy gave the 'Detroit' footage to Kathy Rhoads and wanted the Rhoads family to decide to release it or not.... (he could also throw that footage into a black hole, same outcome....)
That is the question that I've been asking, is there any live footage with Randy, Bob, Lee and Ozzy on stage? There damn well should be bc I know they all toured together for the Blizzard album starting sometime in 1980, on into '81. I've seen a couple of photos of them on stage, but even those are few and far between. I just love the way Lee played on those two albums, and long to hear how close to the studio versions he played his parts live. Tommy is fantastic, but he chose to not duplicate any of Lee Kerslake's drum fills or even play the original drum beats precisely. To me that's a damn shame that he didn't.
Wow, I just listened to those clips, and considering it was recorded on a boombox 40 years ago, they sound really friggin good
Sorry for how stupid this sounds but where are these holy grail tapes? If that's what your talking about. I clicked on the links and it took me to Bobs page.
Thanks for the help.
There must be some live Randy shows that were recorded from the two tours.
A good question for Bob would be, Max Norman stated to Margolis that South Hampton show was also filmed pro shot when they had a feed going to the remote recording truck outside. Maxed watched it on TV monitor. Is that true? Randy had to rerecord his solo for You Said it all in the back of the truck straight into the recording board Max said cause he wasn't happy with the live version. Also a man was filming and making a Mr Crowley Mtv style video when they were recording Blizzard of Ozz and Ozzy chased the guy out of the Ridge Farm studio taking the footage with him?
Ozzy saying the quality is dreadful is probably about his singing. But what about the pro shot concert footage that supposedly is in the hands of Ozzy and Sharon?
he is wrong, well we know Flying High Again did not have OZZY singing on the demo it had Lee Kerslake ....
It is not pro shot it is fan shot from Detroit, 3 shows, allegedly turned over to the Rhoads family but the OSbournes won't allow it
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_OracleWow! I'd love to hear that!
@@johnsoos6907 it's on Bob's website
The pro shot video with Randy that looks like what Speak of the Devil became, may have been test filming for the show they ended up doing with Brad. There was some footage on UA-cam, but it was shot from the stage and had some weird camera movements if I remember rightly. What became the Speak of the Devil project would have to have been scheduled way in advance to get video, concert and recording all done at once. Don't think the Osbournes had much choice between doing the project or losing money to cancel it all. I think there is footage from that when ET did the Randy wins the Best New Rock Guitarist Award from Guitar Player Magazine. I honestly believe the Randy stuff was just test video to get a feel for the show, when stuff happens, solos...that kind of thing. I wish there were a whole show, I just don't believe there is, at least not pro shot, ready for release...
I would expect they would do the same to those pro shot footage as what they said in the 'family' podcast: give it to the Rhodes estate and let them decide 🤣
It seems that us fans know more about the Osbournes bullshittery than they do.
Sharon’s a liar, ozzy doesn’t know that those tapes are acceptable to our ears and their kids think they know everything via parental indoctrination.
The fact is… every single Randy Rhoads and or Blizzard fans (millions) want to hear him!!! It’s about the legacy of one of the most legendary guitarists of all time.. if they can’t make a quid from Randy’s passing, nobody can. How about you all let Bob release them and donate all proceeds to the Rhoads music schools etc… god forbid the osbournes do something noble on Randy’s behalf. I’m sick to my stomach right now… literally. If it wasn’t for Blizzard and Randy I’d have never known the joy of shredding guitar and being a musician and audio engineer for the past 45 years. Release the rights for these tapes you tight ass bastards.. ps .. Sue me, I don’t give a fuck!!! I’m here for Randy Rhoads and nothing more.
Rant over. Love your work Bob and RIP Randy and Lee.
It's well and good to bag on the Osbournes, I get it but Bob wants money too! Why doesn't he be noble and just release them to the world on every platform so everyone can quickly download them? Because Bob wants money too, he's just in a situation where he can't ever do it officially or get some kind of writers royalty or share of publishing. Bob, just release it FOR FREE, stop waiting for some magic payment plan that will never happen. Just release it so fans can have it. Bob is just as much to blame if not More than the Osbournes...
@@RichardGutierrezRG Do you understand publishing, royalties, trademark etc… if you did, you’d know his hands are tied.
And DONT ever say he’s to blame as much as the OZ fam until you get your facts straight.
@@RichardGutierrezRGSharon O would sue him into next century!! This is an evil woman...Ozzy has no balls...and he's a liar too. I have heard from someone else in the band at one time, Sharon is bad , Ozzy is no Saint.
should do a live stream of the interview with Bob so people could post questions during the show with him
He is such a legend
Ozzy and Sharon keeping this from us is almost criminal. Release the tapes!
#FReeTheHolyGrailTapes
Listen, it would be great but...the Osbournes and Rhoads family would have to agree and sign off on it. The Rhoads family have a partial ownership, not a majority which the Osbournes have. The Osbournes have always taken care of Randy's family and his legacy so the Rhoads family would never go against them. The tapes CANNOT be released without the proper permission because they own the music...Bob unfortunately does not and even if he did, he'd have a minority share or would need one of the others to outvote the other...it gets complicated even without copywrites. Look at Van Halen and the mess with ADifferent Kind of Truth not being on streaming platforms because a certain member won't sign off on a new contract with Spotify because he doesn't like the music. The only other scenario is if Bob just releases all of it as a dump on every platform so it will just be out there! But he wants money for what he has..,so let's not paint Bob as being some kind of saint...he wants money too...
@@RichardGutierrezRG I agree with most of what you said besides the Osbourne family taking care of Randy's legacy. They haven't done shite for Randy's legacy /memory.
I would love to hear all of those old recordings because the process of getting there lends deeper insights into the final product.
He holds valuable tape, I hope he turns it into a project soon
What I don't understand is, if there's live concert footage, or recordings of Randy Rhoads, who are Sharon and Ozzy to prevent them from being released!? Why can't they share with the rest of us!? We love Randy too!? Nothing would be better than seeing a clear, pro-shot video of Randy live!!!
There is both but unfortunately Sharon owns the rights to everything Randy did for ozz. Randy's brother and sister can't even release anything from Randy besides Quiet riot stuff. And Bob can't release the Holy Grail cause they'd sue the crap out of him. It's a real shame that Sharon holds the keys to anything having to do with Randy and Oz.
Release it please!!
The truth is…OZZY and SHARON don’t have the last word concerning Randy. He wasn’t a trademark for Ozzy. He was his own man and I think he would want this since he was falling out with Ozzy at the end
Lucky to have a copy of the book, signed by Bob, thanks to Utopia Records and got a copy for a huge fan when he played here in Sydney with Cradle Of Filth. Not only saved on postage to the Czech Republic but caught up in person at the gig! 😆🤩
I recorded my bands on cheap tape decks, and I thank God I did I can hear me and my friends who have passed jamming our fn brains out and quality is just fine. 40 years later I have transferred the tapes to cd and have given to lost bandmates familys, not just songs but the talk in between songs at practice.
Why hasn't anybody asked Kathy Rhoads what she has. Almost 3 years ago to the day when Musonia was robbed, Kathy says in an interview with The Metal Voice (ua-cam.com/video/MA3AgzCmXcI/v-deo.html) when she's talking about the fans (it starts at 14:00 in) she says "So you didn't get one thing you wanted right now, that doesn't mean it's not coming. I'm just trying to do it right...big huge point I wanna get out there, and there's some video of my brother that they think, you know, that I've been hiding. I have it, I'm just trying to make thing's right, to get it the right way, and the right representation. I'm not going to hoard it forever, please people. " So it seems that not too many listeners caught her saying that, but she obviously has some kind of video of Randy. But now that was 3 years ago, and I don't think (to my knowledge) that she ever released anything like that. That would be interesting to see what that's about.
I remember an interview, maybe in Rolling Stone mag back in the day, where Ozzy admitted that Daisley was a great lyricist, but was also expensive! 😅
Reading the book now - a great write... Loving it - transports one back in time and places
Glad you’re enjoying the book!
It’s a shame but Ozzy has turned into a clown, controlled by Sharon & if it wasn’t for Bob Daisley, who wrote Blizzard of Ozz & Diary, he may have ended up killing him self. Bob & Randy saved Ozzy’s life & career, Bob wrote many of Rainbow’s biggest hits too, the guy is a writing machine & a great bass player who is well respected in the business. Ozzy is done, just retire & go away & I hate to say that because those first two albums are my two favorite albums of all time, masterpieces!
Great to hear Bob again. Such a great musician and writer and very true that Ozzy's best work was with Bob. Taking the side of the Osbournes when it comes to Randy's untimely passing, I really do think that any mention of Randy saddens him as Randy gave him hope, and a life back in music -- and what a life it has been. Jack O is always behind the release of Randy material, whenever he can. The documentary listening yo the Crazy Train mix Jack sees the OG recording I Southampton, with Bob, saying they should listen to it. Ozzy declines and looks Sad.
Bob's tape will see the light of day and as he says the technology is there to make them sound great.
Underappreciated A leaguer
WHEN.....though? He SAYS "tomorrow!" but yet....? I guess there's just TOO much "behind the scenes feelings" with Bob Daisley on HOW it would/could "go down" obviously, with HOW the whole Osbourne camp HAS treated him (and HOW MANY OTHER ex OZZY bamdmates?)..... JUST really sad 😞 The world COULD use/NEEDS MORE RANDY RHOADS 🎸 😎🤘🔥🤘
The Osbournes they could careless about Randy...why do you get educated on the matter and look into ozzy and sharons past ..they screwed so many ppl
The quality of those tapes is very probably much better than anything Ozzy released after No More Tears....
Hey Patient Number 9 is badass
I am quite frankly sick of Ozzy and Sharon, to the point of not wanting to listen to Ozzy anymore.....best left in the past with Randy. I have heard enough.
There are snippets out there now thanks to Bob, so there is no....do they really exist or not and Jack is wrong.
The quality is good or good/poor, but not Poor nor Horrible. That's incorrect.
YES, it's on one of the old 4-track recorders, but it's not out of the console and personal property of Bob.
People don't, excuse my french, GIVE A...FUCK...of the quality Sharon. They want ALL of th material available and there is very little available compared to other musicians, like Hendrix, etc. that were in a period way before Randy! So, we want it. This is what MILLIONS of people want and wanted and now it's been 40 YEARS and partially because of YOU (Sharon).
In regard to...Bob should GIVE it to the Rhoads family....ABSOLUTELY NOT. It's Bob's and the Rhoads family could just profit exclusively for it and Randy and mom are now dead. No, I don't think Bob should do that, nor have to. I don't know the legalese, but really think, if need be, ALL should signoff on it and how divied up....50% to Bob for having the material and being one of the people in the band, 25% to Ozzy and 25% to Rhoads.
Really, I would love for everyone to sign off on it and Bob to provide it for FREE to the public.
Love Bob. Thanks for all you have created. Thank you!
ANother question for Bob: In the John Stix book, Ozzy says that he and Randy wrote most of the first album before "the other guys (Bob and Lee") were in the band.
How does Bob feel about that sort of revisionist history?
How do you think he feels about it?
I heard the snippets and it's pure fucking gold! I don't know if Bob plans to market the 8 hours of tapes he has but if he does I will be the first in line to pay whatever price he asks.
I Have a signed copy of Mr. Daisley book.... great one. My blessing for Bob, a wonderful musician!
So Dio left rainbow to join Sabbath and Bob to hook up with Ozzy.....
I know the tapes I made of jamming with a boombox were played over and over. There was no mixing, compression, panning, eqing and side chain compression or gain staging and mic placement, and they sounded great, because it was live and the volume filled the room and the mic's. Cymbals might get out of hand if you raise the recording device off the floor. Couple of jams and you figure out where it sits best, like a 1950's one mic recording.
Question: what if Bob stayed with Black Sabbath after Enternal Idol and made more albums with the lineup Tony Iommi, Tony Martin and his old Rainbow buddy Cozy Powell? Imagine how great that lineup would've been. 😢
Great interview
Is there any chance of Bob touring again?
If not playing music maybe a autograph tour?
Great interview and the The question i have for Bob is why he prefer passive bass pickups to get his bass tone
Any recording of the original Blizzard of Oz is worth my time and money. Randy will always be my favorite guitarist.
he is an all time A leaguer
Randy Rhodes.
Was one of the best guitars I've ever seen Live.
He was the one I went to see, not O. Z Z. Y.
Thanks Bob for the music! You are a true legend. 😊
an absolute legend and A leaguer
I reckon that with AI separation technology, they could easily improve the quality and make proper mixes of these.
It is terrible that there are so few live recordings of Randy. There's a full concert of Gillis for contrast.
Tommy Aldridge says he recorded all or most of his shows with Randy straight from the board.
Are you referring to Brad GILLIS? (replacement guitarist) with Rudy and Aldridge I presume?
@@jamescon55Gillis
I liked that Gillis Ozzy show . Originally taped for mtv as a Halloween special. Then circulated as a bootleg till ozzy decided to cash in on it and release it through that tacky production company eagle entertainment
well in their defense that was arranged BEFORE Randy died....but Sharon fumbled
My favorite Bob Daisley moment is still his playing the fretless on Gary Moore's Stockholm '87 version of Empty Rooms. \m/
I would love to hear those tapes!!!
why is there so little live video available of the Ozzy/Randy days? There's plenty of Randy's days in Quiet Riot. Such a damn shame
Bob should be able to do what he wants with these recordings, they are raw versions of songs he had a massive input in creating.
Those cassettes are priceless . The real deal👽
Bob Daisley is originally from New Zealand. In 1970 he was in a Fantastic Band from their called Kahvas Jute. I have a vinyl copy of the album. I recommend everyone to buy it if you can. GREAT BAND!!
Thumbs up for the Khavas Jute mention !
Another good rock album out of NZ @ the time = Ticket “let sleeping dogs lie” some really good guitar playing on a few tracks
I have seen the gig at Irvine meadows with Brad gillis, but nothing with randy playing......I would fucking love to see that!! When I was a kid I really remember when he died.....he was one of the reasons I started playing guitar!! Along with maiden,kiss,Ritchie Blackmore, Angus Young, my cousin got to see him play twice with ozzy ......lucky bastard!! Haha! Loveeternalpeople
Some of the best sounding recordings I’ve heard were done on “little cassette players” or boom boxes set up in the room. There is an honesty to them, and the mix was always good if it was in the right place in the room. I miss being able to record rehearsals and such in that way. They sounded so much better, more raw and honest, and usually better mixed, than the modern digital garbage. A band sounded like a band.
Your right i cassette recorded almost every band i was in and some are as good as studio recordingd i have many of them online on different music sites.
Best recording I had ever done was myself, an acoustic guitar and singing in a motel bathroom. The echo in the bathroom really gave the sound something special. I agree with you, a boombox and cassette tapes were the best.
@@barrymccreary9565 Stop lol.
really? you must legally deaf then.
Didn't the Beatles just release a song from a cassette John had sent Paul? Seemingly the new tech cleaned it up?
Randy was my very concert at 13 years old in Cincinnati February 1982 Diary of a Madman. I've seen at least 3,000+ concert since including Metallica/Pantera last week in Detriot Ford Field and was by far the Best Guitarist Especially LIVE out of the entire 3,000+ concerts. I do know from someone directly associated with the band that Ozzy has Cassette tapes ran directly through and from the soundboard both Tours
fantastic story......I never got to see him. But I listen to those bootlegs, that is how a band should sound live, trying new things.
So it is Tommy Aldridge who alleges having recordings, he and Randy would dissect shows like it was a game film..soundboard quality
I saw Randy on the Diary tour on February 21,1982, the day before my 17th birthday in Corpus Christi, Texas.
I’m a die hard Randy fan. I would love to hear this music.
If the Osbourne's wanted to take the high road, they could. All parties or Estates would have to come to some kind of agreement about releasing "The Holy Grail". Full stop! Not fair, and just plain deflective, to put it on the Rhoads family. We all know the Osbourne's would have to sign off on it. They'd rather poo-poo it than give Bob any $. It's plain to see it's all about money, from the 30th anniversary and now the 40th anniversary releases. Hmm, why are there new live recordings of Randy on these releases? Some of them are better versions than what was put out on "Tribute". A REAL tribute to Randy, would be a box-set, with EVERYTHING Randy did with The Blizzard of Ozz, and of course, like any Anthology, the Grail would be a must have addition. Ozzy would be the first to stand in line to buy/hear "a crap" recording of The Beatles in Hamburg, ... so please spare us the statement "It sounds like crap!" - We've heard snippets, and in 2023, those can be cleaned up and boosted properly, ... as you guys were saying, The Beatles just did that with "Now and Then".
I didn't care how low quality it is , they can't change it, i still want to hear it
Sharon and ozzy shame on you both...for ripping off Bob and Lee .(RIP) so sad ...
Bob's played with rainbow gary Moore. Heep and many others. He's really respected in the music business...he's earned it ..unlike some ...
I did some recording one time in a motel room bathroom on a boombox back in the 80's. And the quality of it surprised me. The acoustics in the bathroom sounded great. It was just me and an acoustic guitar and singing. I was really surprised. And I have always said that, that was the best sound I had gotten out of any recording.
This is fascinating. I can listen to anything by anyone who ever played with Ozzy.
We need to hear this,. A moment in time lots of people would want to hear…maybe if everyone constantly asks the osbournes it would get more attention
sign the petition to get them released we need support
I am blasting this daily on RR facebook groups....
Anywhere else to sign besides Facebook?
Everything Randy did was always fantastic. Sound quality aside. I sometimes wonder if Ozzy maybe doesn’t like how he sounds himself on these recordings. Some recordings you can hear OZZYs voice struggling and repeating lyrics seemingly forgetting the actual verses.
Thank you Bob! My question for you is: do you have similar recordings of your Rainbow days?
We would still love to hear it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there are any live video recordings of the Blizzard tour, Ozzy and Sharon are running out of time to overdub the lyrics.
there are....they had the Southampton audio show queued up
There is a video of the band that was sold to raise money for jet Records
I’m up for listening to it!
every music fan should be, Lee Kerslake singing on Flying High Again is glorious
Definitely recordings from a boom box can be very well recorded , from personal experience it can be easily transferred into very dynamic sounding releases
I've listened to the clips on Bob's website and as a huge Randy Rhoads fan since the Blizzard Of Ozz album. I would love to hear these in full retrospect.
Question for Bob , is the guitar on over the mountain half step down or a whole step down ...please let us know. Corey
Bob thank you for everything. You area rock n roll badass
Oh yes, the Osbourne's. The reason you can not play any of Bob and Randy's music on TouchTunes/Jukebox.
Just heard that podcast today, wow they actually sound really good. Ozzy must be confused or just being bitter or something.
Ozzy and Sharon are liars we know this
Ozzy's reaction was rightly called out as weird
LET THE 🌎 WORLD HEAR 👂 THEM!!! My God the classic rock history that we could hear !!!
It can be released if it's not for profit. Nobody can do anything about it unless you are making money from it. WE used to live mic club shows simply hanging two microphones from the ceiling area close to the mix position so we could play back the show. WE did it on cassette deck. Simple two mics. one left and one right and played in stereo so it worked great. There have been a few times when I thought the other guitarist was playing and always thought he was better me but we were never about that. We played harmony guitar parts and liked doing do it.
Bob's work with Ozzy and Rainbow top notch!
Oh my god..I'm 54,randy died and I hadn't even discovered blizzard yet,just ont cusp of understanding the genius we just lost. What they wouldn't give as the players they were to hear this stuff..they all recorded their shit in worse cassette players😂,sometimes a four track. I really hope one day kinda soon you can allow those of us who still remember every nuance of those two iconic albums to hear you guys in the raw just being the original guys, and obviously the sheer sickness of Randy that's only on those tapes,that's it. Thanks for what you've been able to put out..fascinating
