Lee Kerslake will always be a legend. Always. Dead or Alive. He's a fantastic drummer and he deserves every credit. Best wishes to Lee and his health. We love you Mr. Kerslake.
Lee isn't after money All the man wants is credit and recognition for what he contributed to musical history . Let him have that
Not when you’re dealing with the Osbournes.
It's the future now and lee did get 7 platinum albums. 4 for one and 3 the other for the first 2 ozzy albums. All it took was him being on his death bed and saying pretty please. You know Sharon Arden really does have a heart of gold. She bought it with all the money she stole from lee. But I'm glad lee got what he wanted before he passed. I'm sure he was hanging on till he finally got his recognition. Rip lee.
@@readmore4178 mainly with Sharon.
@@limjahey4351
nicely and truthfully written. Now he already has peace and a calm heart and they are already playing with Randy in Heaven.
RUclips already is doing this, quite well.
Bob and Lee were utterly shafted over this Ozzy stuff.
Lee was such an underrated drummer. His playing on the song "Diary Of A Madman" is truly unique. RIP
NOBODY ever underrated Lee !!
Lee, Bob and Randy were so important to the two most important Ozzy solo records. He was never as good again. Best to Lee! Fight hard and thanks for the music.
It's a damn shame that he and Bob daisley never get recognized as the songwriters of the two most important albums in heavy metal history, hell in songwriting history. Thank you for your gift. RIP Lee
God bless you Lee Kerslake!
I sincerely hope that you get your full due. There are millions of people who appreciate your true contributions to the Blizzard and Diary albums. Not to even mention Uriah Heep and many other projects that you worked on over the years. Good luck with completing your documentary. I am sure that the fans will love it.
Godspeed Sir, and hang in there.
Lee, a record is a relic. Anyone with the money could buy one and hang it on their wall. It can be stolen, or destroyed. What you have is the respect of the fans and the fact that you've touched millions of people's lives. You can't hang that on the wall, but no one can take it from you, and it'll be there long after you're gone. That's yours forever. And regardless of how Sharon or Ozzy try to rewrite history, the fans know. Godspeed sir, and thanks.
Think it's all about principal. But great angel
Lee, if you’re reading this, you are truly one of the best drummers out there. Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman are among my top ten favorite albums of all time, and you are truly the best drummer Ozzy has ever had. Thank you for the amazing music, we’re all gonna miss you. Rock on🤘❤️
I was gonna say give him a chance till he said I've cancer all over and he was giving 8 months.
I just listened to a clip of Eddie Trunk saying that all Lee wants is certification platnium records of Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman to have on his wall before he passes away one day. That is not asking for much and he rightfully so deserves those platinum records because he played on both those albums and wrote music on some of Blizzard Of Ozz and alot on Diary Of A Madman. If Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne do not meet his request, they should be exposed to how evil they are and have been all these years. They have screwed Lee, Bob Daisley, Jake E Lee, Phil Sousan, and probably many others for far too long. Just because Ozzy feels that he got screwed while he was in Black Sabbath that gives him the right to screw others. I just don't think Ozzy will ever get criticized for what he has done because the majority of the music fans in this world love him way too much. I love the music on Blizzard Of Ozz all the way up to No More Tears alot, but as people I don't really care for Ozzy or Sharon Osbourne.
They won't do it becase that would be an acknowledgement of guilt on their part...it's sad but music is like everything else, selfish.
its management (sharon) and records labels who are the only ones who can request these certifications
yes
Ozzy and Sharon should pay for this. They wouldn't even miss it. But that's the difference between ordinary decent people and rich greedy people.
Marty Martin couldn’t agree more. That was my first thought.
Need to get your facts straight. RANDY wrote the riffs, RANDY wrote and played ALL the solos. Lee complained that Randy took so long to over dub and get his solos right, they way he wanted them, NOT Lee. Lee demanded ridiculous per diems, OZZY paid for Blizzard out of his own pocket. Randy wanted Lee gone long before Ozzy and Sharon did.
@Greg L Ozzy doesn't run anything..are you serious? Sharon wears the pants with everything regarding the business side of Ozz. He sings the lyrics written for him and that's IT!! Nothing more
@Greg L Okay... you're completely delusional if you think differently!! You really have no clue about them.
@Greg L LMFAO...What the fuck does that prove you idiot???? You know what it proves.. just how stupid you are saying such a moronic statement. If they were really your life you'd know the truth instead of this ridiculous BS fantasy. Get your facts straight before you make more of an ass of yourself!!!
Bob Daisley, Randy Rhoads and Lee Kerslake 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, Randy and Lee! I love you guys!
Well said.
Love that comment!...these 3 musicians are respected in the rock community doing work for the fans...changed music forever . Made there mark...Ozzy and booze stomped all over there experience with such ez ..
Lee Kerslake Rules!!! He’ll live in the Rock N Roll Legends Forever!🥁
The very first thing I did when I sat behind a drumset was that triplet quadruple fill from Over The Mountain, got to give props to Lee Kerslake that intro is #1.
one of the best rock drummers of all time,thanks for all the great memories Lee
I met Lee Once. He was a Kind Man. Miss Ya !!!
Lee Kerslake provided Us Drummers the fuel. His contributions to music will never be erased. WE KNOW.
God bless you Lee..
lee you are an incredible man. I met you after Uriah heeps gig at cardies in dallas. this is the time after your stint with ozzy. I only listened to the two ozzy albums you were a member of. I am a Uriah heep fan. you were the heart beat for them also.i loved the way you auditioned ozzy, for he already knew you didn't need any audition. if any kerslake fans out there they need to listen to your play play with Uriah heep. never thought of ozzy as a great vocalist to me he is only affective to the style. you played drums behind way better voices, mainly david byrons. I am sixtyone years old now and been listening to your drums since 1972 and was hooked . u,h, second album Salisbury without you. two months later demons and wizard your first with them. that put deep purple as my second favorite band. lee til this day that remains. I could go on of how much I love you and all the band members you have play drums with including daisley. we all have to leave this world lee and with me until my dying day your drums will always be in my ears. you are going to a music heaven. if Byron, thain, bolder, wetton have made it give one of them big bear hugs for me. going to see Uriah heep 2019. lee don't give up. we need you. Gerald lee easton
Lee your drumming on Diary of a madman is just legendary. To me the drums on that album are just as great as the guitar. Not to mention the other contributions to the record. Hey Ozzy, really man c'mon.
❤
So true! The drumming on DOAM is stellar and perfect for the songs. The opening fill on 'Over the Mountain' is in the Hall of Fame of drum fills, no doubt. The older I get, the more I love and respect Lee's performance. I also love the drum sounds. They don't sound dated like so much of the 80's cheesy drum sounds- gated and reverby, etc. Its so cool to think DOAM and BOO was recorded on 24-tracks and analog gear.
Kerslake was a bloody madman. I say this wif luv. God bless a performer as integral as Ozzy himself.
Listen to Lee with Uriah Heep for his best work.
God bless you Lee.
God bless you, Lee. Thank you for all you've done for rock and roll. I was just a kid listening to Blizzard and Diary and you left a huge impression on me. Later on, my step dad turned me on to Uriah Heep and I got "Magician's Birthday" and "Demons and Wizards". You are a gem of a man. Thank you.
Yes and personally, to me Wizards and Magician's (and a couple more of UH) were more important albums than TBOO and DOAMM - just because.
Lee has brought me so much energy, comfort and joy!
Lee is awesome!!! One of my favorite drummers ever and a super nice human being.
He was one of great rock-metal drummer. building up of was amazing, and no other can do it. RIP
Lee, thank you for all the great music and fantastic drumming!
Sorry to hear the news. i apprieciate your music Lee, hang on there, all the best. Nick
mr Kerslake is the man !! great musician ! he was part of blizzard of ozz, whom recorded the two best hard rock/ metal albums of all time !
Ozzy and Sharon's greed, oppression, and lies are symbols of the very worst of humanity.
Greed is the world's biggest problem. It's at the heart of most issues.
@Richard Skipper So why give the prince of darkness your money?
there britts go figure nasty people
Its just really sad Sharon wasn't really held accountable for the bad she has done also she should have been more exposed to the public for what she has done not just to daisley and lee you got Jake E Lee and others sadly she wasn't more exposed at least for Her greed and I say Sharon because I think Ozzy was being controlled by her
Sharon Levy
My heart goes out to Lee I hope he gets to do his documentary and gets to see it released.
What a magical two albums.
It's so hard to click the like button...Come on people. This is a slice of metal history. Insight into one of the most significant figures in the genre in the 70's and 80's. RIP, Lee. Your contribution to the music I love is timeless and will always be remembered.
Don't give up LEE!!!!!!! Were pulling for you and the FANS are on your side!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee wrote the intro to Little Dolls using 4 sticks and also the beginning of Over the Mountain too.
God bless you. My best wishes. You're a real fighter. You deserve the best.
Eleventeen..lol I thought the same thing when I was a kid..Lee one of my favorite drummers..Uriah Heep one of my favorite bands..saw the classic lineup several times and saw the Blizzard of Oz and Diary tours
Saw Uriah Heep back in the mid 70s War memorial Syracuse NY Lee cooked all night I was up front What a drummer . Thanks Lee !
Lee Kerslake we meet each other twice you are a lovely man with a great heart we really love you and we know you're right..we wait for your new CD..a Big Huge from Italy
I'm italian too! Nice to read you.
Puoi raccontarmi qualcosa riguardo quelle volte che lo gai incontrato? Ti ha detto qualcosa su quel periodo di speciale che nessuno hai mai detto?
Saw Lee on the Wonderworld tour a truly fantastic drummer..
Thank you to Mr Lee for your contribution to music, may your rhythms ride with you now and always.
Happie
Great drummer
The guy that created that wonderful intro to "Over the Mountain" and contributed to a batch of other great songs that Sharron took credit for.
Outstanding interview!! Blizzard &Diary are 2 of the best albums ..EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Keep yourself alive Lee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS SINCE LEE LEFT THIS PLANET. IT'S SOOOO FUCKING SAD HOW SHARON AND OZZY NEVER PAID LEE AND BOB DAISLEY FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO "BLIZZARD" AND "DIARY"...2 OF THE GREATEST ROCK ALBUMS EVER...
This guy is a drum hero! It is really a shame that people in the music business can just rip other musicians off and make just one or two people in a band look good. The Ozzy camp is just one example of how they just hire people to play drums or bass or guitar, pay them very little, and just get rid of them if there are any problems or questions raised. The music business is just one of the worst cut throat businesses to get into.
Coming here based on some info. I just learned about Mr. Kerslake... I had no idea what a powerhouse he is or was. God Bless!
Great, Great drummer. Always thought the drummer on Blizzard of Ozz was Tommy Aldridge (another awesome drummer).
This was very VERY sad news to hear :'(
Lee hang in there brother...look to Jesus....pray....love you brother....I enjoy your music
Ramiro Salinas Finally, someone with the right answer.
Lee, Bob and randy wrote the music, Bob wrote the lyrics, ozzy did the melodies, ozzy can't play an instrument but has great melodies, those first two albums nothing comes close end of Bob Lee and randy were the blizzard🤘
But on bark at the moon it says all music and lyrics by ozzy. It’s really all him jake and bob didn’t write any of the music or lyrics. 😂. What a crock of sh••
@@synthogd808 OK if that's what you think? Have look into it and find the truth ozzy wrote zero music and very little lyrics it's all out there do a bit of research maybe read bob daisleys book and then read ozzy's book ain't no crock of shit!!
RIP Lee. It's been 1 year today since we lost a music legend. If anyone hasn't listened to his solo album Eleventeen (released in 2021) then please do so. There are some fantastic songs on it. My favorites are Celia Sienna, Take Nothing For Granted, and Home Is Where The Heart Is
thumbs down must have been sharon
great drummer with a great voice.
Lee I hope you get whats comming to you.
What rightfully yours.
Me , and a whole lot of people with me, give you all the credits in the universe!
You and Bob and Randy, made history, and the history needs to be told.
Thats right.
Thank you Lee for a great part of my life!
Great interview. Very much deserving of #2019HallOfHeavyMetalHistoryaward
Looking forward to meeting #jimmykay and being involved in honoring #leekerslake
I won't go see Ozzy because he screwed his bandmates, or Sharon talked Ozzy into it. It's unfortunate that Randy died because you would have seen Sharon (and Ozzy) not pay him for his songwriting and he would have left for not getting credit for all the work he did.
Yep...they would have fucked Randy over had he lived just as they have done to Bob, Jake, and Lee.
Randy had a affair with Sharon so maybe not,... but i also always heard Randy wanted to leave Ozzy After the tour he was doing when he died.
Good! The Osbourne's don't need our support. They don't give a damn about the fans. Sharon and Ozzy are trash! My respect is for the real musicians who contributed to the Blizzard Of Ozz.
Not so fast.
Ozzy went into depression after Randy's death. He loved the guy, and you can clearly see it in Ozzy's interviews where Randy is spoken of. Even in recent interviews, he still tears up.
No doubt, Sharon is a bitch, but Ozzy genuinely loved Randy Rhoads.
@@triggerhappydad65 He should Love him. He basically saved his LIFE. But he is still a spineless guy.When so many people around you say it..and when your own statements contradict you..Cmon....noone is that stupid. Ozzy and Sharon should set up a trust, A sum in an account that will help, in perpetuity Randy,Lee and Bob..or their children. These people left their kids to tour,write and record. The made the career that Ozzy and Sharon Enjoy. Dont worry, Sharon and Ozyy will still be wealthy.
I love Lee Kerslake and i'll always do
Big HugeLEE Kerslake keep on fightin..you are strong..dear friend !!!
R.I.P.
Great interview. It was heard here first.
I can’t believe Frankie Banalli world take credit for over the mountain,when was he there even Tommy Aldridge gives credit where credit is due
Frankie Banalli lies so much ... he then Believes his own lies...Lots of liers do that...
@Craig Willis Wrong! Banali wrote nothing. It was ALL LEE KERSLAKE! Listen to Uriah Heep's song Shady Lady so that you can hear the great Lee Kerslake play that intro pattern in a song prior to the Blizzard. Plus he played that fill after the solo on Crazy Train. You rock Lee!
Didn't know Lee was ill. Doesn't look good at all. Really sad how Bob and him have been screwed over by $haron all these year's. Godspeed Lee
Love this guy 💝
All those who talk about Sharon, remember Ozzy can do something... without Bob, Lee and Rhandy, Ozzy wouldn’t have gotten those first two albums that catapulted him... Ozzy and Sharon should be ashamed of themselves.... I lost all respect for them both years ago when this first came to light. Lee is not only an awesome drummer but he’s an awesome gentlemen.
Fuck Sharon, according to Wikipidia Ozzie made this right
@@josephesposito3499 Ozzy finally sent Lee his two plantinum albums a short while before Lee passed away. Way too little way too late!! The Osbourne family should be ashamed of themselves but they have no morals or shame to begin with. Lee and Bob Daisley deserved so much more from them.
Beginning of Over the mountain! Enough said. Good luck Lee.
I'm a poor musician myself but just donated a few bucks
I'm praying for you Mr Lee Kerslake your intro to Over The Mtn was my intro to the Blizzard of Ozz band. Diary freak me out then I couldn't get enough. The band pics in the DOAMM sleeve had Rudy & Tommy in them but your name & Bob's on the credits. Try Rick Simson Oil for the cancer.
In Jesus name! I'm praying too.
What Sharon Did in 2002 with those Remasters was selfish and made her look like a Female George Lucas. She Should be Ashamed of herself. Thankfully They Stripped those Remasters off the market, and gave us the originals back, And I am so glad that Lee and Ozzy are on good terms now since he got those Platinum Discs.
Sharon and Ozzy fucked him and Bob Daisley over big time. Give this man the respect and due he deserves for helping revive Ozzy's music career. I'm pretty sure Randy wouldn't be happy if he were still here about their buisiness practices, especially when they decided to re-record the bass and drum tracks on Blizzard and Diary with Trujillo and Borden respectively. At least they have deleted from those awful versions from circulation since. I mean shit, Bob wrote almost all of Ozzy's lyrics including his biggest songs. Very talented musicians.
Uriah Heep’s ‘Abominog’ is the BEST album cover ever !!!!!!!
The cover is better than the music on the album.
moonbeamskies it was pretty much a radio oriented album... I’ll agree with you there
@@JoeyP322 Agree. It's a decent hard rock album. But the cover art is at a whole other level!
and best wishes to mr kerslake, from me :)
Lee Kerslake - Legendary Drummer
Ozzy Osbourne - Legendary Asshole.
He got the albums before he died
Sharon underestimated the power of the internet and the truth coming out about all their lies deceit and mistreatment of musicians. Can’t rewrite your history and sweep everything under the rug like she did in the 80s and 90s. Now people are learning the truth about the osbournes. For god’s sake do right by the guys that helped you get there aren’t rich enough. What a legacy that Sharon tarnished
Randy and Lee soon to be reunited playing in the clouds:)
Someone help Lee get his album on iTunes. I'd gladly pay!
I pray for your healthy Lee. stay healthy
Ozzy gone right down in my estimation
Lee says you'll have to excuse me if i waffle on i;ve just taken my medication for the chemo/ pain in my spine....and you ignore that completely and ask another boring question. The guy is dying and in pain.
Kind of a wry little jab at 13 too I imagine. Dude is obviously super talented and helped write some of the best metal that's ever been recorded.
Wow. Karma will catch up with Sharon, and I hope it's painful.
To Frank M.? Really Whish you KEEP SILENT...PLEASE!!! This interview is precious!!
dont you just hate osbourne,Lee is critically ill and broke and she is rolling in cash,Lee has more talent,decency and integrity than she will ever have
Best drummer on the records. Tommy's great and seemed to be a good friend to Randy. But the original lineup was incredible. The remaster and remix with Rudy and Tommy is different. Max Norman talks about how it changed the whole backline of the songs. He's correct.
Sharon should have been more exposed to the public for her greed
Definitely.. it's disgusting and despicable with the crap she's gotten away with!
The FANS know Mister Kerslake no worries there..
Great drummer that really gets no respect for what he earned.
Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisly were the only two Uriah Heep members who crossed path with Ozzy from Black Sabbath.
Remember who Sharon’s father is like father like daughter
Kerslake and Daisley should've gone and formed a band of their own since they think they're the main ingredient.
They did
So he and Randy are jamming now and Sharon is trying to own the rights...
Lol So true!! Freakin witch!
It makes me sick that Ozzy and Sharon have taken advantage of so many musicians. Without these musicians Ozzy would have never been as popular as he has become. I hope there is karma. Growing up i thought Ozzy was the greatest. Now I have no respect for him. He probably would have ripped of Randy if he had gotten the chance. Sharon is a horrible human being.
I sincerely wish all the absolute worst to Sharon and Ozzy. Sharon for sure. Ozzy for the same if not, still for not having a spine.
Bankruptcy illnesses to them their children and children's children. Honestly.
All the worst. I don't care.
Lee Kerslake will be a contestant on a 2019 episode of Celebrity Bucket Kickers, but when will Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's career be a contestant on Celebrity Bucket Kickers.
I wonder if RR's royalties ever get paid.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Give the man His Platinum Albums For Fuck sake
those re-recorded versions of the first 2 albums were disgraceful. Sad what Sharon and Ozzy did to this guy, and sad that they stained their own reputations like that.
I don't knoe how true it is but wasn't Sharon boning Randy.....anyone ?
so says Rudy Sazro in his book
Maybe this is where bark at the moon came from... Oh Randy!
