Interestingly those two albums weren’t meant to be solo Ozzy. The whole thing started with him and Bob Daisley in a pub. It was supposed to be a band called Blizzard of Ozz. While they were recording Diary, Blizzard came out with a real big Ozzy Osborne and smaller letters said Blizzard of Ozz. As if that was merely an album name. That started the trouble with Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake ( the drummer ). Before they started touring on Diary, Sharon had moved Bob and Lee out. Randy was going to quit too but Daisley talked him into staying for his own good. They were replaced by Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge. Both of whom appear on the Diary album having not played a single note on it. Later Bob and Lee’s bass and drum tracks were re-recorded by Aldridge and Robert Trujillo and the album was re-released, in an attempt to screw Bob and Lee out of recording royalties. The fans revolted. The album was remastered with the original parts intact and Ozzy claimed he had no idea what was happening.

It was well known by Ozzy and the rest of the camp that after the album of Sabbath covers Randy was quitting. He only agreed to do it to get out of his contract. He was not a Black Sabbath fan. Before that album could be recorded Randy died. And Ozzy released Speak of the Devil, a live album, with Sabbath covers, supposedly dedicated to Randy.

Later, in court Bob and Lee were out lawyered by Sharon and while they retained recording credits for the first two albums, they were screwed out of millions they were owed for performance royalties and other stuff.

Ozzy doesn’t write music or lyrics. Geezer Butler wrote all the Sabbath lyrics. Bob Daisley wrote all the lyrics for the two Randy Rhoads albums and him and Randy wrote the music. Ozzy came up with the vocal Melodies and phrasing.

Inexplicably Bob agreed to write Bark at the Moon for Ozzy, thinking he was back in the band, but was not surprisingly once again screwed over by Ozzy and Sharon. Mike Inez played Bob’s bass lines on that album.


RIP Ozzy, but dude, you are definitely going to hell.

I almost forgot to mention, Jake E. Lee, the guitarist who replaced Randy and wrote Bark at the Moon with Bob Daisley was also screwed over by Ozzy and Sharon. Also Don Airey, their keyboardist, the guy who wrote the intro to Mr. Crowley was completely screwed over by Ozzy and Sharon.

So when Sharon dies, which by the looks of her probably won't be too awful long from now, she will be joining Ozzy in hell. For sure. Her father, Don Arden was Black Sabbath's manager, that's how she got her hooks in Ozzy. While he was married to his first wife. Don Arden was basically a Mob boss. Sleazier than Allen Klein and Peter Grant put together. So Sharon had a great teacher. I'm sure he greeted Ozzy in hell this morning.

Now, there was a band!

Yes indeed. My very first real band when I was about 13 or 14 covered "Stealin" (when I should have been buying). I was playing that song live in front of people before I had ever even heard the actual recording. Lots of songs were like that though. The guys in that band and most of my friends were about 7-10 years older than me and those songs weren't played on the radio much. No internet so........ No One At The Bridge by Rush, Bad Time by Grand Funk, No Sugar Tonight by The Guess Who. Hello Hooray by Alice Cooper. That was a cool band. Shortly after that I started a band with the guitar player doing almost all Black Sabbath, Rush and Yes covers. I had those albums.
 
There's a lot of famous band front men that can't play an instrument but are there for their singing ability and stage presence. Ozzy was just one of them.

And a lot of famous front men and musicians can read music put play by ear, one of which is Paul McCartney, who admitted as much. Another is Jimi Hendrix who couldn't read music and taught himself to play by ear.
