Ozzy can't read, write or play a note of music. Yet he is listed as songwriter on every song. Geezer wrote the lyrics in Sabbath and Tony wrote the music. Randy, Jake et. al wrote the music on the Ozzy albums and Bob Daisley wrote the lyrics.

Jake did not write all the material, Bob Daisley wrote a huge chunk of it. The reason Sharon wanted Bob back in the band is because he could write, where as his replacements couldn't. Bob wrote a fair chunk with Randy on the first two albums and he wrote a lot with Jake on those albums. While Bob was in Uriah Heep Sharon kept pressuring him to come back to the band to help write the third album. Bob got fired after Diary of a Madman for sticking up for their Drummer Lee when Sharon and Ozzy wanted to replace him with Tommy, and then Tommy gets fired because he's good live, but can't cut it in the studio. Ozzy and Sharon paid Bob and Jake a lump sum and a promise of royalties on all album sales to give up all song writing credits to Ozzy. It's part of the reason they recorded the drum and bass parts for those albums years later, so they could stop paying Bob royalties on sales. Bob said he enjoyed being in Uriah Heep a lot but it wasn't paying the bills as much as Ozzy could, so he went back to Ozzy. He co-wrote the Ultimate Sin with Jake, but he didn't play on the album.

Now it’s funnier

I went to the US festival specifically to see Don Costa play with Ozzy, and this is the first time I've heard this story some 36 years later.

**I think it's time that we, as Ozzy's fans, STOP blaming everything on Sharon, and pretending that Ozzy was innocent in it all. Sharon IS a greedy, immoral narcissist, but it isn't all her fault. I don't care how wasted he was from time to time, there are video interviews of Ozzy during the early to mid 80s, where he was more clear headed and articulate than he is now, despite the fact that he is now supposedly clean and sober.** So I'm no longer buying into the notion that he was essentially a walking zombie in the 80s, who could only sing on stage, but was otherwise completely incapable of, and uninvolved in his own band's decision making process! Ozzy was just as guilty as Sharon for screwing over MOST of his band mates in the early to mid 80s. The 2 of them had more money than God by 1984, so there was no excuse for NOT paying George Lynch a penny for traveling with them as a potential replacement guitarist, then firing him. There was no excuse for stealing writing credits and royalties from Lee Kerslake, Bob Daisley and Jake!

I pass the following story along as it was told to me by the person who actually experienced it. Back in the late 90's I worked at a large manufacturing plant. One of the line supervisors I worked with had auditioned to be Ozzy's bass player for three months because his permanent bass player had broken his arm. He ended up getting the job and was told you have an 8 foot box on stage that you cannot step out of or you will be fired. he was also told not to do anything to attract attention to yourself, this is Ozzys show. One of the first gigs was to fly over to, I believe England to do a anti-drug concert. This is the concert that is spoken of in Motley Crues behind the music documentary. He told me he was one of only three people on that plane who wasn't doing any drugs and that includes the pilots. Eventually he got to his hotel room and when he opened up his guitar case someone had packed it full of cocaine packets. He was extremely upset and went to Sharon Osbourne and asked her to find out who did it. According to him she was very professional about it and did her best to find the culprit but no one would talk. The main thing I remember about our conversation was that he seemed to be using every ounce restraint within in him to not say a bad word about Ozzy.

People forgetting that Ozzie got canned from Black Sabbath for his out of control life style.

The dude should have sued ozzy for assault because with the severity of that injury he would have most likely cleaned ozzy and Sharon’s clock in court for a change. But manipulation deception and greed is how they operated. If you fit into their mold you’re in! If not, you were fired immediately! …even if it’s the day of the show and you bring the family.

You mean worst Sharon firing ... Ozzy didn't fire anybody. The deal is after Ozzy head-butted him they needed to get him back on side so he didn't get into Legal proceedings - they told him he was still in the band, got him to sign a non disclosure etc and then payed for his surgery. Still kept him thinking he was in the band until the gig when Sharon fired him .... nice people eh? Read between the lines ... chances are Sharon had something going with the Bass player and the Bass Player likely rejected her ... she goes and tells Ozzy something like the Bass Player tried to come onto her and the rest is as you see.

" Lemmy Kilmister once told a story about Ritchie that, if true, depicts a purely evil guy. The story goes like this - one time while on tour Ritchie got extremely annoyed with a tour manager. To show his displeasure with this guy he slipped him a mickey in his drink. While the guy was unconscious Ritchie and company took this poor bastard, stripped him naked, loaded him in a car, put the car on a ferry to Iceland, and left the car without any keys. That’s just pure, vindictive malice."...Some internet article. Dunno if it's true, but if it is...wow.

Summer 1976. Blackmore's Rainbow played a gig in Asbury Park, NJ. My friends went to the gig, and rented a hotel room. It turned out to be the same hotel Rainbow was staying at. The band arrives, and my buds greet them. Blackmore: "Are you guys staying at this hotel?" Buds: "Yeah! We're right down the hall! Blackmore: ".......................................If you're staying here.....................I'm leaving...................." And he walks away. He wound-up staying, but was a total douche the entire time. They said the rest of the band wasn't happy with him either......openly stating their displeasure. Jimmy Bain seemed exhausted.....worn down..... They recall Tony Carey, in his room, playing music real loud and banging on the wall. "MISTER BLACKMORE DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN I PLAY MY MUSIC LOUD!!!!" He seemed quite happy breaking Ritchie's balls. (This would explain the personnel changes between album 1 and album 2.) Dio? My friends said he was an absolute prince.

Damn! LOL what a nightmare to work in such an environment.

Bark at the moon and(ultimate sin my favorite album) are 2 of the only 6 ozzy albums worth listening to blizzard of ozz thru no more tears so jake was a huge part of ozzys sucess.Done 2 albums with Randy 2 with jake and 2 with zakk and that sums up ozzys solo career because everything after no more tears is mostly crap.

Actually , it was a very good video. Compliments to the guy who edit this document video for us.

I'm just surprised Ozzy headbutted the right head, considering he was probably seeing three at the time.

I'm very impressed with some of these older 80s era artists. You have the most publicized that had substance abuse problems and so forth and it's common to lump them altogether but I have watched some Coverdale, Vivian Campbell, Jake, these guys really had their own best interest at heart. I thank God I grew up in this era of music and now I'm 44 and appreciate these guys more than words, is all..... Oh shit, I meant ever. Really enjoy listening to the ones that weren't in the spotlight. 🤘💯🤘 PS as much as others were. Ijs. I loved Jake E. Lee.

Until he found out what it was like to be fired by Ozzy and Sharon. Two absolutely horrible people in the music business because of the way they treat others. They take credit for all 5he songs written when it was Randy and Jake that were the primary writers along with Daisley.

Everyone knows Ozzy can't write to save his life. Other than some simple melody stuff (which is usually along with the music anyway) and the occasional one liner, he's actual contribution to songwriting amounts to virtually zilch for his entire career. It's always been Iommi, Butler, Rhoads, Daisley, Lee and Wylde which have carried his career along at the expense of themselves. Even after he lost his life, $haron still felt it was okay to spread a rumour that she and Randy had sex. No way would Randy ever touch that creature. Both Ozzy and $haron are self absorbed cunts.

Where can we hear the rest of the interview?

For the record... Nobody can dispute the contribution Ozzy has made to music with Sabbath, in whatever capacity, full stop. Fast forward to Sharon and Ozzy becomes Adam Lambert. A nobody that gets to rock the stage with fucking legends! As for the rest of it, the writing is on the wall...

Ozzy wouldn't be much of anything without these talented guys. He can't even sing.

I still like the music, but Ozzy charges too much for me to care about meeting him. It was that damn TV show that made me think differently about Ozzy. I plan on seeing Jake next year. I like Jake's new album. What did Sharon get Ozzy for Christmas? A new hairstylist.

And I "think" it WAS IN FACT, Sharon who made THAT call as well, maybe Ozzy but, HONESTLY, I can't remember which. It was just cool that George was able to laugh about it. LOL.....This was about 20 years ago btw.

I saw ozzy once in '98. All he did was jump in one spot like he was jump roping and looked down holding the Mic ocassionally raising his arms with a weird look on his face lol He was not engaging at all. Now the band was awesome. Trujillo was bass player and he was doing his warrior strut. That was cool.

These stories are priceless

ozzy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag....

Ozzy although having a one of the great 70s and 80s metal distinctive voices is a hideous human being and Sharon is disgusting, she threw a cup of her own piss on hotel staff back in 80s. Fully documented by Rudy Sarzo. I know it’s hard to believe but it’s there in black and white in his book.

Sharron had an affair with Randy Rhoads

When this happened, Jake was on notice that his tenure with the band would be limited and end badly. Ozzy and Sharon are bad people - you know that simply from the musical chairs behind Ozzy. For all the BS about the love and loyalty between Randy and Ozzy, Randy would have been out of that band in two years tops if he had survived. Jake E. Lee is a grade A talent and guy, and even he couldn't hang on.

AmaZing Sharon has this image now while the truth is very different

Maybe Ozzy couldn't communicate to Costa how he was supposed to act on stage? It's easy to imagine Iommi doing something like this to Ozzy back when he was crawling up the pecking order. Only madmen need apply to a game this punishing.

What dead set horrible people......

In rocknroll, a headbutt to the schnozz from the strung out leader equals YER FIRED!

It always strikes me how simple American English is. “I was like” for everything. One can also use: I said, I thought, I believed, …. But of course, a country that uses aluminum, bigly, that doesn’t know how to use good and well correctly. And o yes, Jakey is a killer guitar slinger. Big fan.

I think I would have worn Ozzy's head out once my eyes cleared a little.

That kind of violence was just about normal for English working class back in those days. I grew up in London and then the Midlands in the early 80s and it was very rough, but where Sabbath are from in Aston was even rougher. It was more of a crime not to snot somebody that crossed you. Nobody says anything to police etc. Once it is over it's over and everybody moves on. People would often be best mates once they had come to blows. Kind of weird really, but that is how it was.

No. Ozzy fucked up in a drunken/drugged stupor. They fired him that way to avoid the criminal charges, make the guy think he's still in a famous rock band, get him to sign the agreement not to press charges, fix his nose then get rid of him at the last minute. Criminal charges and trial dates would have hampered touring schedules big time, and fuck up the Ozzy brand.

When you have no conscience, you have no regrets.

In Bob Daisley's book on page 177 he mentions that the band rehearsed on Friday May 27 from 5pm to 3am. Then rehearsing all day and into the night on Saturday, May 28. Then playing the US Festival on Sunday May 29. Something doesn't add up with Jake's version of what happened. Bob also mentions that Ozzy punched Don Costa in the face and fired him.

I sometimes think Ozzie was just a big Wa$$ker but thn i listen to his songs and think he wrote a good melody line on all his songs. Not a great singer but could move a vocal line through a verse and chorus nand then the most important thing that made him great it was memorable and very melodic. Ozzy was lucky he was in Black Sabbath that was his baptism into fame really. There are thousands of better singers who are unemployed

When all the lyrics rhyme and have a relatively uncomplicated flow, and the music is already written (as was the case), the melody is pretty much implied by those structures. "His" melodies were simple and unimaginative. Aside from Nikki Sixx, Ozzy is one of metal's biggest posers/frauds.

Wow, before this I was thinking that Ozzy and Sharon were an exceptional team. Reason; after he left Sabbath, we all know great singers who left great bands to start their own thing and it never took off. Ozzy has been really big since he went on his own. Sharon must be a real gut buster of a manager. Protecting Ozzy at any cost and she did it. I loved Randy's guitar playing, I love Jake E.s playing, I love Zakk's playing and I love George Lynch too! Nothing wrong with him. Listen to his tone, style, vibrato. George is a big deal. Great with Dokken. I guess it just shows that not everyone fits every musical situation.

Honestly this doesn't surprise me from Ozzy and Sharon. I am sure Bob was not crazy about coming in the very last second to perform in front of a crowd this big recorded for history as well. I feel bad for Don and his family.
