Bob Daisley Appreciation Society
- Thread starter Lesfunk
- Start date
Cool a Society I can be a part of...Bob is the Man....All of Ozzy's best work is done with Bob..Everything else Ozzy has done with any other bass player just sounds bla...IMO
Total unsung hero. His credentials are amazing! Listen to the bass in "No More Tears". Simple but amazing! Guy is great.
Is that true?
Once you're on the recording, how can you "remove them"? Haven't they already been paid, or received credit for their work on the album?
If this was done after the fact...to avoid residuals...I am sure that Bob and Lee would have a good case to sue them for cutting them out of their royalties, if any were promised. You have to remember that back in the day, royalties were not always part of the deal.
I think Glenn Danzig tried to do this to Jerry only, (The Misfits) as well.
Crappy thing to do,but I guess it does happen.
I believe Mike Inez came up with that line. Daisley is a monster but I don't think that was his.
H
OOPS. He came up with the opening riff only. My apologies.

Dont Forget he (and Kerslake) played with Uriah Heep as well back in 82-83. He used alot of flanged bass sounds with them. You'll remember songs like; Thats the Way That It Is, and The Other Side of Midnight.
indeed, a great player who just doesnt get enough due!
Even before I started playing bass, his work always stood out to me on those old Ozzy records. I mean, how could you NOT take notice of those amazing lines and fills on tunes like "Little Dolls" and "SATO"?! The man has killer tone too.
And yeah...those re-releases...thats just raw. How can Sharon get away with that? Oh yah...she can afford a better lawyer, I'm certain.
But c'mon?! Now, I'm not downing Borden or Trujillo...both are awesome players too, and I also am a fan of there work in other bands....but they coul'dnt, nor could anybody else....recreate the magic of the classic Ozzy rhythm section. The newer versions just sound so flat in that regard. The newer tones and productions don't even match the rest of the recordings, IMO.
BLASPHEMY!

I think he is a great bass player and totally under credited for what he did with Ozzy. It's funny Ozzy always needed a good bass player to write songs for him first was Geezer Butler then Bob Daisley then after him he started working with Lemmy. The last album black rain was just a BLS album with Ozzy on vocals.
Just to clarify this Tony Iommi owns sole right to the name Black Sabbath since he bought every one out as they left the band. I forget but I think he treats this as another band and thats why they only do the Dio albums and call it Heaven and Hell.

Shame he has to go through this lawsuit with sharon osbourne but the guy deserves to be recognised as he was the original player on the first ozzy albums, lets not forget lee kerslake, that was a brilliant pairing, daisley/kerslake.
Plus sharon osbournes a witch and a control freak.

I cant agree more. I dont know the whole situation, but to re-record those classic parts of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake prompted me to boycott any future purchases of any Ozzy recorded material. Its not an accident that Ozzy Osbourne's best solo work features Bob Daisley: the man is a great player and songwriter- and a super nice guy who deserves better from the Osbournes
The latest "remaster" of Blizzard and Diary have the re-recorded bass and drum tracks. If it's the remaster from 2002 (IIRC) and the bass and drums sound awful, you have the re-recorded disks.
I have nothing against Trujillo and Bordin, but those albums sound awful with them playing those parts.
Saw him on the 3rd Ozzy tour (Bark); also saw the first two tours with Sarzo.
Daisly smoked Sarzo in style...though I did miss the constant upper-horn licking that Sarzo made so endearing.

I think anything with a copyright of 1995 or earlier is Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake.
Yes, this is how it worked. In 2002 the remasters of Blizzard and Diary were done to include Rob Trujillio and the drummer escapes me at the moment.
You can really tell the difference if you are able to compare the 1995 and the 2002 versions. Personally I prefer Daisley.
I absolutly love his playing on Goodbye to Romance. So melodic.
Did he play on the Dairy of a Madman album?

I never knew that... I have the originally recorded version of Blizzard, but I've noticed those remasters in the stores, and have been tempted a few times to pick up Diary - now I won't! Thanks for that.
Bob is the MAN.
