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

There is a youtube interview with guitarist, Bernie Torme, wherein he claims that he was enticed to play with Ozzy in the wake of Randy's death for $2000 per tour week, Essentially penniless, Bernie took the gig, flew to the US and was told by Sharon Osborne that his salary was miscommunicated and that he would only make $500 per week filling in for Randy. With all the $$ that tour must have made you would think the musicians would be respected and paid well. Not so it appears.

Musicians like Randy, who revived Ozzy's career, deserved much more. Sharon's management practices, including the exclusion of Kerslake and Daisley, are shady as hell. Jake E. Lee not getting credit is another issue. Ozzy claims he has no memory and that Sharon handled the business, but that seems like selective memory. Sharon and Ozzy greatly benefited from the various musicians over the years. All songs (music and lyrics) on Bark At The Moon are still credited uniquely to Ozzy - like he even knew what a chord progression was. Why people like Sharon on those talk shows is beyond me.

When I was 22 years old, Ozzy Osborne was coming to the Sam Houston Coliseum on February 17th (1982). Since first hearing Ozzy’s “Blizzard of Oz” solo album, his new guitar player Randy Rhoads had become my guitar hero. I didn't know much about him, nor did I even know what he looked like, because Ozzy's album pictures really didn't distinguish who was who in the band photo. To this point, I had assumed that the dark-haired guy (Rudy) was the guitar player I had recently come to idolize. Anyway, my girlfriend Mindy and our housemate Chris quickly found a way to score some tickets for the show. I figured if we showed up at the arena early enough, we might get a chance to meet the band before the show. It was a warm afternoon in Houston when Chris, Mindy and I arrived at the concert hall. We made our way around to the loading dock side of the building to look for tour buses or any other sign of band life. The road crew had already arrived and was setting up the elaborate stage for the “Diary of A Madman” tour. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were able to simply walk in and observe at our leisure without anyone hassling us. This went on for the better part of the afternoon. As we loitered about the premises, I befriended Randy’s guitar tech. He informed me that the band would be showing up around 5pm to do a soundcheck. In the meantime, he invited me into a makeshift dressing room to have a look at Randy’s guitars. They were sitting on guitar stands right in front of me. Just feet away from my hands were Randy’s signature cream Les Paul with the snakeskin strap, along with three custom made “V” shaped guitars. His polka-dot V, white pinstripe V and a black one, the latter two sporting the name “Jackson” on the headstocks. At this point, I was not really familiar with his guitars. And this was also long before Jackson Guitars became a household name. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued by them. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to bring a disposable camera with me. I asked the guitar tech if I could take a few pictures of the guitars. He didn’t mind, so I began to snap away. Just as I was photographing the assortment of guitars, a rather large and in charge road manager walked in on me and freaked out. “What the f#$k are you doing in here??? Gimme that efffing camera, those are custom made guitars!” he barked. The guitar tech tried to quell the big fellows concerns, but he would have no part in negotiating any compromise. “Gimme the effing camera if you wanna see the show” he demanded. As a 22 year old punk kid, I was in no position to argue, so I reluctantly gave the Paul Bunion looking troll my stupid camera. The guitar tech apologized for the road managers over-reaction and allowed us all to stay and hang out. Like clockwork, the tour bus pulled into the loading dock at 5pm. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Randy Rhoads soon stepped out. Randy was wearing blue jeans, a black pleather jacket with no shirt under it with a white towel draped around his neck. Absent from the group was Ozzy, who apparently didn’t do soundcheck with the rest of the group. I quickly made my way over to who I thought was Randy and asked for an autograph. Slightly unprepared, I only had a small piece of paper that I had found nearby for them to sign. Rudy signed one side of the paper and Randy Rhoads signed the other side. I managed to make some small talk, at first thinking that Rudy was actually Randy. Up to this point, (As I said, I wasn’t entirely sure what Randy actually looked like). “Man, you’re a great guitar player” I said. Rudy looked at me sort of puzzled and pointed me in the direction of the actual Randy Rhoads. Needless to say, I felt like a douche. Randy was very unassuming, soft-spoken and frankly humble. He happily complied with my autograph request. He had to lean the small piece of paper onto the side of the cinder block wall in order to write his signature. He simply wrote, "Randy Rhoads". After several minutes, the band disappeared inside the arena and we followed along like lemmings. During their soundcheck, I stood directly in front of Randy Rhoads as the band ran through the song “Mr. Crowley” in its entirety. Randy was playing his cream Les Paul and never sounded better. I was in awe that afternoon, watching this soon to be legend warming up for the impending show right before my eyes. Except for my girlfriend Mindy, Chris and myself, (and a few road-crew guys), there was nobody else in the arena. A few short weeks later, Randy, twenty-five years old, was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. I was davestated. His autograph remains framed on my studio wall to this day. Also, a few weeks earlier on March 5th, John Belushi died of a cocaine overdose. You could feel a chill in the psyche of the masses around Houston who had just absorbed the news of both of their untimely deaths. Both tragedies were a stark reminder of my own mortality....Can you imagine what would have been captured on my disposable camera had i been allowed to keep it??? Jeff Dyer - Uncle Sally

They were hanging out in the studio and then once they asked them to join their record label they got all butt hurt, which is tragic because look at what happened to them until the late 80s had to give all the music to some idiot didn’t pay attention to signing.

Randy Rhoads was worth far more than what he got. I was surprised that Jake Lee got so little as well. They really must have loved performing as the money simply wasn't there. All the members of his band were great musicians and should have been recognised as such.

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

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

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

Great video. So much trickery. And Sharon changing Randy’s contract after he was killed? And Mrs. Rhoads having to sue the O’s? Wow. No limits to what they would do. Yet, no Blizzard of Ozz band, no Ozzy.

Ozzy, Sharon and thier entourage found a patio table while Rudy, Tommy went back to their trailer.

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

The Osbournes are notorious for not paying their musicians jack shit. They paid Zakk very little as well. It's pretty messed up! It's great exposure to be Ozzy's guitarist, but terrible pay. I understand why Nuno turned the gig down. The Osbournes really are NOT good people! Ask George Lynch about how he was treated by them.

Many of the big bands owed money to their record labels unil they got a few albums under the belt. Uneducated people read about these performers net worth and think they have 100 million in the bank. It's just not true. The only problem I have with the Ozzy and Sharon situation is that all those great players like Randy wrote all the music and never got royalties.

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

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

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

Ozzy may have been the star, but it was largely off the backs of everyone he played with including Sabbath. Randy changed the game. He was one of those once in a lifetime guitarists like Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi. It is really sad that Ozzy made millions off those two albums and Randy, Rudy and Tommy made squat. Take those three out of the equation at that place in time, Ozzy would have been another washed up has been. That band is what revived Ozzy's career and put him in a place financially where him and Sharon were able to call the shots. Even the Record execs were done with him and all his BS he did from all the drugs. Sad when you look at the Rhoads family music school and everything they have.

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

No, Bob daisley worked with Vai to do a side project called X-Ray, it was not going to be Ozzmosis. You forgot to mention Bob helped write and do all lyrics for No Rest for the Wicked. He was asked to do lyrics for No More Tears , and he said fine but he wanted a royalty so they asked Lemmy to help out. They screwed Bob over. In 2012 when the Osbournes were releasing the Box set of the 30th anniversary, Sharon reached out to Bob to acquire the Holy Grail tapes. Bob wanted a flat sum and royalties. Sharon refused to give the royalty. The reason is because the Osbournes only want those holy grail tapes if they can own the IP to edit Bob out. the Holy Grail recording sessions will show ozzy was not around on 90% of the Diary of a Madman recording sessions. This is suppoedly what Andrew Klein said in an interview since he heard those recording sessions, he also verifies that the quality is perfectly fine

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