The re-recording of those albums is one of the grimiest most shameful things I've heard of in the music industry.

He's still an Hofner endorsee.

I haven't done a CD comparison yet but this really annoys me til no end why they wouldn't mention that. Ozzy is so LAME!!!! |

Not sure Blizzard and Diary would sound nearly as good without him.
His bass over Randy's solo in Crazy Train is killer and I still love playing it.

Otherwise maybe a bit unremarkable? |

IMO, the best media for his bass lines were the original vinyl LPs of "Blizzard" and "Diary". My first exposure to fretless was the song "Tonight" off "Diary". If it wasn't fretless, it was a damn good imitation.  |

She runs the show completely and is responsible for any and all decisions regarding Ozzy's music. She calls all the shots. Not only did she screw over Bob but also Phil Soussan (bass) over songwriting and royalties for The Ultimate Sin. He actually wrote the big hit from that LP 'Shot In The Dark'. Sharon had that cd removed from production some years ago along with The Ultimate Ozzy concert video. Try finding that on dvd......

>> Although Mike Inez performs in the album's videos and promotional tours, long-time Ozzy Osbourne bassist Bob Daisley plays on the entire album. Though Inez was an official member of the band, Osbourne and his manager/wife Sharon had a longstanding working relationship with Daisley and had also asked him to write lyrics, as he did for all of Osbourne's solo releases to that point. While his bass playing remains on the album, it is said that Daisley's lyrics were not used.
Inez is credited as a writer for the title track. Although he does not perform on the song, the intro bass riff was composed by him. Osbourne stated on VH1's Behind The Music that Inez was involved in the album's writing process<< http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_More_Tears |
