R.I.P. Lee Kerslake (Apr. 16, 1947 - Sep. 20, 2020) You were a superb musician!
Lee Kerslake was a great drummer. His intro in 'Over the Mountain' will remain as one of the most powerful drum intros of all time, not only in heavy metal, but in rock music history. May he rest in peace.
Agree 100% R.I.P. Lee Kerslake !!! Listen to Lee on The Uriah Heep Live Album Uriah Heep Live January 1973 !!! Fantastic Album from a Fantastic Band !!! I Was Fortunate to see them Live in 1974 with The Original Line Up on The Wonder World Tour !!!
Intro? The whole song is a masterpiece his drums are indispensable
Little Dolls had another very good drum intro on the very same album. Lee Kerslake (and the whole band for that matter) was on fire!
Sorry, but it was Mike Bordin who played the intro to Over the Mountain. Sharon told me herself.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
Have to say Daisley's and Kerslake's playing on the first two albums are one of hard rock's finest moments. No question.
A solid-as-fuck rhythm section for sure.
I met Bob at one of the Texas Jams in the 1980s. He was in the crowd listening to one of the bands, drinking a cup of coffee. I asked for his autograph and he seemed surprised I knew who he was. He signed my concert shirt and thanked me for supporting the band. Class act!
Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman with Daisley and Kirslake are the best two albums Ozzy ever sang on.
I didnt care for anything after that
Kerslake
I hear that!!!!
Damn right
No question about it.....legendary albums
About damn time these legends got their due. Ozzy owes his career to these stalwarts
steady now mate - ozzy was always and always would have been , a major fucking star. He was a member of the first ever metal band and one of the greatest rock singers of all time - remember that. Dont be disrespectful. None of this was ozzys doing - you know who was the culprit
david byron makes ozzy sound like i novice..!!!!
@@johns7272 It's funny how Ozzy gets a complete pass on this stuff and Sharon gets all the blame. Yet Ozzy is notorious for firing his band members on a regular basis and it not being pretty.
He's not blameless, although I'd agree she is the main issue.
Ozzy let Sharon screw Bob and Lee. Has nothing to do with Ozzy's singing ability it's his character as a person and musician. Ozzy's a POS for this and also re-recording the tracks in 2002. He doubled down on his shittyness if you will.
Ozzy had a great voice and a good ear for melody. That's it. Geezer and Tony were Sabbath. Bob, Lee, and Randy were the heart of the Blizzard lineup. Bob wrote and/ or arranged everything good in Ozzy's solo career-- notice how Ozzy started sucking after NMT? Guess who was out of the picture after that album?
Blizzard of Ozz's original lineup was one of the most underrated supergroups ever. Black Sabbath (Ozzy), Quiet Riot (Randy), Rainbow (Bob), and Uriah Heep (Lee), all combined into one epic band.
look up "underrated" in the fucking dictionary.........stop spamming this stupid,incorrect term on super popular songs,artists and videos
the original Blizzard of ozz was in 1976 before Randy lee and Bob necormandus minus there singer supported sabbath on tour .they recorded some songs which have never came out.they reheased for some months it didnt work out
I think Aldridge, Airey, Daisley and the phenom Jake E Lee was the best lineup Ozzy ever had for me. The US Festival and the Bark At The Moon tour were perfect examples of that.
I can imagine Randy sitting there with them at 57 years old. True Blizzard fans know Lee, Bob and Randy were the ones who actually did all of this.
Lee is one of the most underrated metal drummers of all time. The groove on his Blizzard of Oz albums was amazing.
Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were the best version of the Blizzard of Ozz.
Andrew Grey rudy is good but he didnt write any of it! Stage member only
Magic.
God Bless Lee and Bob the good always get screwed over bye Sharon seems like
Fred Virtuoso whatta
bunch of bullocks!!
It was the only version. The rest were stand ins playing the Blizzards music.
Diary Of A Madman is Ozzy's best & Lee was integral on it.
RIP Lee Kerslake.
Lee was awesome with Ozzy and Uriah Heep...Rock has lost another great RIP Lee
you betcha!
The power and the feel of Lee- the bear- Kerslake.... RIP buddy.
R.I.P. Lee Kerslake thank you ever so much for all your amazing music over the years; GOD Bless You Mate!
What a contrast there is when you compare these two wonderful human beings to Sharon and Ozzy. RIP Lee Kerslake, you deserved to be treated so much better than you were.
I love Bob but how many times you going to bend over for Sharon and Ozzy I think you pinned almost every lyric on a lot of those records if I'm being told the truth I just don't know how anyone could take it up the tailpipe so much before they said that's enough
These guys are amazing. Even as a 12 year old kid, the bass and drums on Blizzard and Diary caught my ear and made me listen more closely. Even though I was obsessed with the guitar, the sound of those guys tearing it up really moved me. I always knew it had to be the same guys on both albums-- no one plays like Bob, and no other rhythm section slays like these two.
RIP Lee.
So sad that lee has passed. What a great guy and fantastic drummer.
RIP ……..LEE one of my personal mentors as a Bass Player Lee’s Drum beats, Patterns , and his timing changed me as a bass player. Lee’s approach to song structures beats and fills were new and Fresh and quite honestly influenced rocks New challenge …today’so i can out there the foundation they need to create . GOD be with ya. Lee Kerslake one of the best. 🤘🥁
R.I.P. Lee Kerslake !!! I was Fortunate Enough to see Uriah Heep When Lee was With The Band on The Wonder World Tour July 18th 1974 With Manfred Mann's Earth Band !!!
Bob and Lee are 2 of my favorite musicians. Randy is the ultimate. Has been since Blizzard came out, to now, and forever. Those two albums are unbelievable!!
As a bass player I love rhythm sections - and Bob and Lee (RIP) were right up there. thank you.
i liked when lee started slamming sharon osbourne; and then bob elbowed him to keep it quiet.
LMAO
Caught that as well, I hope that these men get what is owed to them, credit for the songs and payment for all their years of work.
that was awesome, just as he said fork
Yes, that was awesome. Just when he started talking about "that woman".
he said "fall"
Lee Kerslake used to be my neighbour, very nice friendly guy, i was only a kid but i still remember the day his battery died on his car and my dad helped him get it going again, miss having him as a neighbour :(
I wonder if i met Bob Daisley when i was little, his face looks familiar now :S
@o o haha, I don't think so, if anything, this cover picture hasn't got my face in it
What an amazing anecdote...
Absolute Legends. RIP Lee Kerslake
The work they did on blizzard and diary is fucking stellar. Kudos to a great rhythm section.
They wrote most almost all of Lyrics and all the music as well ( not well known ) Ozzy is a total dud of a person
parabot2 *Sharon
Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake and Randy Rhoads were the historic iconic composers that set the direction for the 80's, 90's and 2000's rock groups. The truth is the influences of Rainbow, Ronnie James Dio, Richie Blackmore, Uriah Heep and the late 70's L.A. Club scene set the precedent for Blizzard of Oz and Diary of A Madman. Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were the guiding lights for Randy Rhoads. It so embarrassing for Sharon Arden Osbourne and Ozzy for not fully paying Lee and Bob their royalties and songwriting credits. Dark shadows cannot hide the light of truth. The shadows of our dreams are the lights of our tomorrows. Thank you Bob, Lee and Randy for the magic! I love you guys!
good to see Lee interviewed. Bobs book is great.
RIP Lee. The whole band will be there one day
They were great and fulfilled their role. The intro of "Over the mountain" is something extraordinary, eternal memory of Lee and Daisley, two amazing musicians! R.I.P.
That elbow nudge by Bob Daisley @ 5:00 priceless.
Hahaha 👍
Lee just left this world. And is now jammin with Randy up there. 👍
Two legends!!!!! They made Ozzy...
Joey P I think he was pretty well made after a decade with Sabbath. These two contributed but Rhoades made all of them if any one didn’t
@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding Ozzy was considered to be a washed up burnout by the time Sabbath gave him the boot.
Bob and Lee were both well established musicians way before Blizzard, Randy was a kid with great chops and some good ideas. Bob helped Randy craft his ideas into actual songs, along with Lee.
Ozzy came up with a few vocal melodies and the occasional lyric.
Lee’s drumming on Blizzard records was phenomenal, very Cozy Powell like vibe
They are two of the most awesome dudes , it is such a shame that Sharon had to rip them off , but her dad was the same way
Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake two no bullshit dudes. All around good blokes. Brother don't mess with Sharon you'll get the horns.
Lee was one of my early influences in the early 70s when I first started playing, I saw Uriah Heep several times, one of my favorite drummers
Bob Daisley nudging Lee to shut the hell up about Sharon at 4:56
@Trunk McEight ya think
@Jacky J Jones epic!
Trunk McEight No, just has no morals or ethics. Ozzy knows it but goes along.
@@TheMaxKids Yeah Ozzy is Sharon,s Milquetoast spinless bitch he knew and could have said something but he did not...Lost what little respect I had for him
@Iain Sinfield ok Adolf
RIP Lee you are one of the greatest drummers of all time
These are the men that wrote the music of my youth, and the whole time I thought Ozzy was a musical genius.
Every band member that contributes to a song should get royalties from it.
Thanks for this interview.
Literally the inside drum.
Lee was an awesome drummer.
Great times back then.
R.I.P. Lee Kerslake.
Lee, you are a true rocker. I am enjoying your playing a lot. What a power.
Amazing that these guys all happened upon each other to put together 2 epic albums. Bob's Auto-bio is a great read. The music came first for these 2. Deep respect.
Real musicians know these guys along with Randy were the brains and talent. Regardless of what any court or greedy poacher thinks.
Bob and Lee are truly cool!!! They're acceptional musicians, and have no beef with Ozzy or the other members. They were just happy to be part of something so magical!!!
both blizzard of ozz and especially diary of a madman were ozzys best albums since leaving Sabbath , thanks to these two great musician/writers. I salute there integrity.gentlemen of rock .thanks.(and ,of ,course Randy Rhoads , although I imagined that didn't need saying)🤟
peggs1 you forgot Randy who wrote most of the music - Daisley wrote mostly lyrics
Steal Away was a great tune. I actually thought it was about stealing away royalties from your band mates.
@@rokyericksonroks nice 👌.
r I p mr kerslake.
I could listen to them talk all day. They deserve all the credit and should be paid for being the solid back bone and bottom.end of rock history as The Blizzard Of Ozz.
Now it's funny that Bob gives Lee an elbow nudge at 5:01 when he starts going off on Sharon haha.
I would just like to let these two gentlemen know that what they helped write an record with Randy Rhoads and Ozzy absolutely changed the course of the music I listened to and how I listen to it.
Amazing two albums that can be played spot on by the right group of musicians but harnessing that magic that creativity and doing what they all did can never be done again.
Diary Of A Madman was brought home by my older hessian sister and it changed my life for many positive reasons. This guy jumped out of the parachute sky jump at Knotts Berry Farm during Halloween Haunt and I just imaged thepsychology of the jumper as this album played and it just etched in my mind of thinking of life death and music on a new level as an 10 year old back in 80 81
That's some crazy shit. I lived not far from there and don't recall but I believe it. Poor guy probably thought it'd be cool to drop some acid before hitting the amusement park. I'll have to look that up.
Wow, no kidding Donald Day, 18. Same last name as me. 1983. Night before Halloween. Handed his buddy the key to the locker and climbed out. Sick.
Love you Lee and Bob!!! Thanks for two outfukinstanding rock albums...they are immortal!
Blizzard of Ozz!!!! Great band.
Ozzy is the legend but the legend wouldn't been one without guys like this!
Two legends of metal.
My hat's off to these two English gentlemen, total class.
*Bob Daisley wrote nearly all the lyrics on 5 of the first 6 Ozzy solo albums and played on 5 of the first 6 solo albums, and toured on BATM.*
He wrote and played on all 6 except he did not play on Ultimate Sin and did not write lyrics on No More Tears album. *Bob (and Randy/Jake/Zak) made Ozzy's career.*
BAKURA'S PLANET Facts. Why would he keep coming back? He kept coming back because he got paid. Sharon learned early on( likely from her Dad’s strong-arm management methods and shady accounting tricks) to pay a nice cheque up front and get talent to sign away future rights to and revenues from their work. In the long run, it meant more money in her and Ozzy’s pockets. She did it to these guys, Jake E. Lee and who knows how many others.
These guys are responsible for the amazing rythm section of two of the greatest and most brilliant albums ever recorded, thank you very much for the gold you gave to us, my fav is diary.
Bob Daisley was responsible for the lyrics on pretty much every ozzy album up to No More Tears
Yes .diary is fantastic. Sato.....hard to beat.
@@brucecall1595 yeah totally agree S.A.T.O is my fav of the album.
These two guys are the only real witnesses of that period of time ( blizzard/diary era) they're two jewels whose memories have to be protected and well packaged
Yeah. Ozzy doesn't know what planet he's on and Sharon will twist anything for a cent.
@@sdjslkdjlsskldjslkdjsl8262 the album should have been called the "Leezard of Ozz" . If you know what i Mean"
Randy may have toured with Sarzo and Aldridge, great live performers but no way he would have recorded the third record without these guys. These guys were the real Ozzy Blizzard of Oz band. Just as important if not more than Geezer and BIll.
Actually, the plan regarding the next studio record (it would have been recorded after Randy would have been forced to record a bunch of Sabbath songs live, which he was NOT happy about), was to be him, Ozzy, Tommy Aldridge, Bob and Don Airey.
Gud Dergo Tommy Aldridge told Don Arden that he didn't think he should rerecord the tracks.
Amazing pair. Talent galore. R.I.P Lee, you were absolutely brilliant mate. And credit to Bob. What a Bassist AND what a lyricist and songwriter
One of the best four pieces to ever come down the pike. The incredible energy, talent, and skill, will hold up for decades to come, maybe never to be repeated. God bless gents
RIP Lee Kerslake.Hope your family receives the money you deserve.
Most thankfully know what Bob Daisley did, and people is still talking about in 2018.
He is a Poet for FACT SAKE..Without him there would be no OZZY
And Lee,best of health to you bro. Your a fckn legend in my book bro. Wish u the best. 2of the best albums I've heard in my lifetime and thank you.
R.I.P Lee...thanks for everything.
2 absolute genuine guys. absolute legends
He's an Aussie, no wonder he's so relaxed :~)
great guy, great player, great collector !
Yes!!! Give them their fucking due! Hail Hail Lee and Bob. I'm here in the USA and love these two blokes as they say...
Great to see Lee Kerslake again. That same face. I thought he was a great rock drummer. He was an intregal part of the great Uriah Heep.
He's very humble and informative. Thanks for posting this.
Did you know that Kerslake and Robert Fripp were roommates at one time?
Really loved Uriah Heep !
Lee Kerslake also played in a band called Toe Fat before the Uriah Heep era. Great L.P. Anyone have it?
Love this interview. Humble hard working musicians with nothing to hide. Sorry to sour my comment but source after source after source after source puts Sharon Osbourne in a dark unforgivable place for her hand in things and how she comes across now is even more damning...
Great to see this. Two guys I respect. Great to see them together. Killer rhythm section
Absolutely Awesome Guys Cheers Thank you for the GREAT music
Bob is awesome.
Lee Kerslake is an aweinspiring drummer.
2 Living Legends - Blizzard Of Ozz was an Absolute Classic 🤘🤘
Sad to hear of Kerslakes passing......still listen to Firefly and Innocent Victim regularly
John Lawton and Ken Hensley are gone now too.
These guys are legends
The only reason Osbourne's mediocre (and sometimes embarrassing) post Diary career existed was because Blizzard and Diary were so incredible that he coasted on them. Ozzy owes these guys everything.
Knowledge
Right? The whole reason for this interview.........Ozzy Osbourne LOL.
Yes if his comeback albums (post Black Sabbath) flopped Ozzy would have been over
@@MikeJones-oe3do Yeah Sherlock, that's how it usually goes with anyone. What's your point?
@@wallywalpamur4960 they wanted to write both these guys off the albums, without Daisleys song writing ozzy would probably be a footnote in rock history
Lee K KICKED ASS!!! For 20 years, I thought it was Tommy Aldridge that I was hearing on Diary. Sorry, Lee!
Same.
DonnyOsmosis Agree, but Tommy Aldridge still a great drummer.
I found this out years back and it gave me much more respect for Kerslake. His style is very similar to Aldridge's!
The innersleeve pics are very misleading.
I thought so as well. I'm glad I've been set straight. One of the greatest bands ever
Those first two records set the tone for the next ten years. Brilliant.
best band ever.so much talent.
Living Legends of Rock.
I shook hands with Bob during a stage invasion at a Rainbow concert Granby Halls Leicester UK. Looking forward to reading his book
Bob was a great songwriter/lyricist!
Him & Ray Gillen wrote The Eternal Idol album (Black Sabbath)
Lee you are so right there was definitely magic in those albums. Soundtrack of my childhood. That and defenders of the faith .... Priest.
These 2 guys were one of the best rythym sections in rock history!!
Oh and both are phenominal musicians I cant even put words to how great they are . Thanks Guys
My very 1st concert, Motorhead and Blizzard of Ozz Long Beach Arena. These guys were the stuff that made it roll out of the gate. Without Bob and Lee half or more of the chemistry would not have been there. Ozzy owes these guys big.
Don't forget the Osbournes are who gave Bob and Lee this opportunity of a lifetime. Ozzy was already legend, the name, the front man.
@@kkoch666 I saw Ozzy on the next 4 tours. Brad Gillis Irvine Meadows, Jake E Lee front row at the US 83 Festival, Zack at Red Rocks on the No more tears tour. The 1st tour with Bob and Lee was the best pure rock show out of all of them, these guys had chemistry to no end and it showed big time when they played together. The second time I saw Ozzy at the Forum in LA (Diary of a Madman)with Randy Rhoads, Rudy Sarzo, Don Airey and Tommy Aldridge were a very good combo too, But Randy, Ozzy, Bob and Lee were MAGICAL in the studio/live situations. The first two albums were Ozzys best in his whole career. PRICELESS!!
@@JW-zs1pz Thats awesome you had that experience! My first Ozzy show was Bark at the Moon.
I agree. They were something special and Ozzy hasn't had anything like that lineup since.
Kerslake is an inspiration and influenced my drumming. Over the mountain. Best triplet. Ozzy kinda burned sabbath. With this lineup
R.I.P. Lee...a legend. No doubt why Randy was so keen to calibrate with you
Those two Ozzy Albums were my all-time favorite and most influential as a kid around 13 or 14. And to think all these years because of the cover photos I thought it was Aldridge and Sarzo until last year. I'm 52 now. What a paradigm shift to see the true recorded artists.
I'm your age but I knew who the band members were from day one. Daisley's photo on the back of "Blizzard" pretty hard to miss. I saw the "Blizzard" tour with Aldridge and Sarzo and was like WTF? Then "Diary" came out three months later. I see their picture but I read the album credits and was shocked to see that Daisley and Kerslake recorded it. All you had to do was read the liner notes. That is what they are there for.
Elbow nudge was priceless...just a sign of 2 good ole mates keeping one another in check.
Bob Daisley is the reason the Osborne's live the way they do today. He wrote everything from No more tears back. People, do your research.
Lee Kerslake...Uriah Heep Live 1973...wow wow wow
Read your book Bob! Loved it. Thank you! Never realised how much of the backbone you really were to the music I love!
Lee Kerleske R.i.p 🎵🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🙏👊
I love these guys , respect them , they always say great wonderful things about Randy because they get it , . Its adorable how Bob and Lee are both fiddling with their pens. ;)
Stalwart players & true gentlemen, one of the most formidable rhythm sections in the history of music. It's a crime they were robbed but it's heartwarming to see the camaraderie they share & also receive the recognition that is deservedly overdue from those in the know
Man ,these guys are legends...the real deal!! They would get pissed about so many questions I would ask about their work on Blizzard and Diary and the first UK tour. Take care of yourselves noble men!!
It's funny how Bob parents Lee during this interview, correcting and nudging him here and there.
Black Death 1347 If you look closely Bob seems to say "Wanker" under his breath after Lee's mini rant on sharon lol
They must be close friends , smoke together drink together, good old friends
Those first two albums were the best of Ozzy's solo career. Period.
Everybody looks at Ozzy and Randy but these two are Blizzard Of Ozz.
Did he wrote any lyrics on his solo albums? Who wrote the music? Can we called a solo career at all?
