That's what I'm talking about. It wasn't really, "Live," as it was recorded during their soundcheck (with some studio overdubs, and then the crowd noise was mixed in).

It's a great song, and it should be available on CD.

BearFan

I have the original release records, good enough for me.

I will have to pick these up. I have just recently gotten back into Black Sabbath and could use some solo Ozzy. The fact that these aren't the bastardized versions is a plus.

Have you ever wanted to ask Ozzy Osbourne something? Well, here is your chance. In anticipation of the forthcoming reissues of his "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman" albums, the Prince of Darkness will be answering the best questions submitted by Revolver readers in the "Going Postal" section of the May/June issue. Send your questions for the metal madman to [email protected]!
Does anybody have any questions?

after watching his reality show a few years ago, i don't think anyone will be able to understand the responses

this is your brain
this is your brain on drugs
this is ozzy's brain after a lifetime of drugs

B5Erik

So I see both CD's individually on Amazon, but not the box set. Does it have a different release date or something?

Actually he's quite steady and understandable now. Turns out it wasn't the drugs, but hereditary Parkins syndrome.

That was a good read, thanks for the link.

Read his book. A very interesting, funny and fast read.

Ozzy receives first copy of blizzard, diary reissues. http://www.cursethehype.com/ozzy-osb...diary-reissues

What a riveting video that was.

sniper007

I pick up the diary (legacy Ed.) blizzard today. I had a listen to a few songs from each album. Now I have the 02 Sony reissue of these, to me these sound the same (no surprise here.) I also have jet records issue of these two album, these sound very dated to my not so golden ears. I would like to say go out and buy these now, but i can not say that.

SkullOrchard

These remasters are brickwalled shit. I knew they'd fuck it up.

islandclaws

Doesn't surprise me. The '02 remasters sounded good enough to non-audiophiles, and they had Trujillo and Bordin replicate the drums & bass, so unless you know these albums like the back of your hand, I doubt many would notice the difference.

benedict

Ditto. (Vinyl & CD).

JAA

Wow! I'm sure you meant to say, unless they are completely clueless or unfamiliar with the music.

islandclaws

I'm pretty sure I did say that. I guarantee you there are thousands of Ozzy fans out there who bought the '02 remasters, knew nothing of the tracks being redone, and assumed it was the original members.

johnbook

Yeah i have 3 questions:

1. What is the real true story behind the Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake situation.

2. Why don't you ever give your song "You Can't Kill Rock N Roll" the credit it is due and make fan's like myself very happy and play it live in your f---ing sets, and include it on live cd's like the new diary remaster, WTF.

3. Why don't you give Jake E. Lee the credit he deserves, IMO he played on your best two albums.

JAA

I love Jake E. Lee, but this is a stretch . . . in any reality.

johnbook

Obviously not my reality, no stretch here...

sniper007

I can't comment on these, however there is a forum I visit that was talking about the (Daisley/Kerslake situation) subject in-depth.

johnbook

Would love to check it out, do you have a forum link?

Daisley took Randy Rhoads' guitar parts and added to them and then worked with Randy on arranging the music into songs. He also took Ozzy's 2 or 3 lines of vocal melodies and turned those into full lyrics and polished vocal melodies/hooks.

Kerslake helped a bit with the arrangements, and also helped produce the first two albums with Daisley and Max Norman.

Both Daisley and Kerslake were deeply involved in the writing of Diary of a Madman, and they both played all the bass and drum parts respectively, but saw the performance credits go to Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge. They also never got paid everything they were owed. Daisley and Kerslake sued and won, but never got paid all they were supposed to so they re-sued and won, and then let it go too long to successfully sue again when they didn't get paid what they were still owed (they had the last suit thrown out due to statutes of limitations running out on them). Daisley also didn't get songwriting credits on Bark at the Moon (neither did Jake E. Lee, but he, to my knowledge, never sued - although he should have).

As Sharon handles ALL of Ozzy's business affairs it's clear who was responsible for failing to pay Daisley and Kerslake what was owed - as well as failing to give them their proper performance credits. I fucking hate that bitch.

That's the answer that you will NEVER get from Ozzy & Sharon, but that's what the correct answer is.


Because Sharon is a bitch and she runs the show.

Again, that's the correct answer but also the one you'll never get from Sharon or Ozzy.

Thank You B5Erik for the info, doesn't surprise me that Sharon is at fault, and thank you sniper007 for the link.
