This should have been done 40 years ago! R. I. P. Lee!
RIP Lee. You suffer no more. Glad that Ozzy and Sharon finally gave you your seven platinum records. My 10 year old son, also a drummer LOVES the Over the Mountain intro. Your legend lives on!
They should have put a check in with the records. Stingy of them
I doubt Sharon had anything to do with it. I wish she would just keep her worthless butt in the states and stop threatening to move back to the UK. We don't want her. She's definitely her father's daughter. I'll never understand how Ozzy let her mistreat Lee. He was such a kind man.
Well done Uncle Lee. I'm just sad that you never got the recognition from Ozzy before. You shouldn't had had to ask. I remember all of your albums in frames on your walls.
Much love, from Downunder. RIP Lee Kerslake, definitely one of my drumming heroes.
This almost made me cry. The two first Ozzy Osbourne albums are a big part of my youth and Kerslake was a huge inspiration on me taking to play drums. His legacy will live forever!
I don't think I could face death with the courage that Lee did. A brave man.
A very brave person, and fantastic musician, first of all !!!!
33!!
what choice do you have my friend
Lee was a class act. A true gentleman. A genius drummer and brave soul. I tip my hat to you sir you have always been an inspiration.
Lee Kerslake drumming on Blizzard of Oz and Dairy of Madman is phenomenal. Ozzy's best drummer.
Aldridge also kicked ass, Castillo too.
Dairy of a Madman is an interesting thought. Milk, yoghurt and cream spilt everywhere!🤣
Don’t forget the work he did with Uriah Heep.
Without a doubt.
$haron's best drummer^
Passed away this morning Sept. 19, 2020. RIP...
Another bit of my youth gone. Thanks for the good times and music Lee.
Two of the best albums ever made.
RIP
Rest in peace Lee
Agreed. I also did not hear of Steve Priests passing until a month or two later.
The man had a absolutely beautiful attitude. A great drummer and a legend in the music industry. RIP🙏
Terrible how he, and Bob Daisley were completely ripped off, and disrespected by the Osbournes. Orchestrated by Sharon, because she wanted to give everyone the impression that Ozzy, and Randy Rhoads were the main creative force.
@@stantonvalberg9814 Yeah but Ozzy came through for him in the end, its human nature sadly we are all greedy when young ,we only humble with Age.
@@christineayres5339 true indeed, I'm happy that he did come through in the end.
He finally got his platinum records. And all it took was him begging the Osbournes, practically from his deathbed.
@inside outside upside downside they're both as bad as each other, she plays Ozzy like a puppet, he's a weak man.
@inside outside upside downside . Doesn't matter, Ozzy is a fuckin' grown up, he's just as bad.
Yeah thanks so much Sharon🤨
@@metallion0738 have you heard of Sharon Osborne before
Awesome, Lee RIP he finally got the recognition he so deserved
Still alive
Ingo Hoffmann As of today he sadly passed.
Not anymore :(
@@ingohoffmann3455 sad to say..."was".
@@ingohoffmann3455 you were right when you posted a few weeks back, we lost him last week as you may know.
Just now learning of this great loss. Lee Kerslake and the Heep were a huge part of my early musical influences. I'm a bassist, not a drummer. But as we all know, the two are one (or should be).... RIP Mr. Kerslake. You were one of the BEST!
Totally under appreciated musician There’s no Blizzard without Lee Rest in Peace Brother I hope someday you get your most deserved recognition
some day just happened or did you miss the point of the video ?
@@rickraftus3608 I thought that same thing when I read his comment. But to give it a thumbs-up shows that a lot of people missed the point!
Sitting on the wheelchair, holding glass of vine "take it easy, I'm not driving, he is driving". Lee, You was a True gentleman with Great sense of humor! Rest in peace, Lee "the bear" Kerslake.
great drummer, rip. god it sucks to get old for sure and cancer is the devil.
Your view on life is so wrong. Only the lucky ones live long enough to get old - it's not a privilege afforded to anyone. Value you life, son - you only have one.
Life is too short to judge others for the way they live their lives. Live yours, it could be over tomorrow, for none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. I was diagnosed with cancer @35.It came back 6 yrs later and is now terminal. I don't know how much time I have left . Tell your loved ones what they mean to you.
Sucks even more to not get old.
over the mountain best drum intro ever
He passed away September 19th 2020 met Lee way back in the early 70's and was still friends with him until he passed away 😔 😢 RIP my friend 😔 😇 🙏 🙏 🙏 #chicagogroupie70s
Absolutely. That opening is legendary.
10 year old Yoyoka with friends... ruclips.net/video/Wf3q0LP_CJw/видео.html ...
RIP Lee... I was thrilled to have seen you in concert all those years ago...
Yup
Oooh, that's a tough one! It's phenomenal, no doubt, but I think Painkiller takes the award.
RIP Lee Kerslake. Hope youre jamming along with Randy.
Yeah along with BONZO, DIO, Lemmy
We all got a great loss last night ...LEE KERSLAKE is passing away against cancer. We all Heepsters woll miss him so much, R.I.P. Lee, have a pretty good rise, many regards to our friends you meet now again, we are follow later my friend...
RIP Lee your drumming was phenomenal on those Ozzy albums
I first saw Lee play live over 47 years ago...Thank you so much for all the magical musical memories chum, RIP.
I'm glad Lee got his final wish of his discs but he and Bob Daisley were badly treated and they both should have been given their dues and the respect a long time ago by the Osbournes.
Shame on the Osbournes.
RIP Lee.
Don't forget Jake E Lee
Sharon handles all the business, the manipulative bitch...
@@Hail_Hydreigon . That bitch is the one who truly deserves cancer.
@@ETK696 And the others.
@@metallion0738 Honestly .... even the worst bitch in the whole World doesn't deserve that unpleasant wish ..... dear Metal Lion 07 :o((
What a brave and talented man he was...R.I.P
Lee's drumming on those first two Ozzy albums is metal drumming at its finest! Lee showed that the drums were as musical as the other instruments and did far more than just compliment the song or keep the tempo, the drum tracks were essential to those songs, they would not be the same without Lee's input. I'm glad he was given his due and proper, not in monetary value of which I feel he and Daisley should've received their share and then some for having to go to court, but in being recognized for his skills, he seems happy so I am happy for him. R.I.P. Lee.
Btw, Living Loud absolutely rocked, you showed em what an old drummer could do! Brilliant!
Those two albums Lee played on are rock masterpieces. Lee and Bob were the foundations but much more than a rhythm section. Lee hit harder than Bonham IMO and the rock family misses him dearly. God bless Lee
Sharon only gave it to him because he was dying. He should've gotten it years ago
Don't kid yourself that Ozzy didn't play a part in withholding these as well.
Judgment cometh to all, even Sharon and Oz will face it.
@@roberthouston3824 Yahshua is coming, bro. Shalom!
40 years too late.
I would say she pull the strings, he just the puppet.
Uriah Heep one of the groups back in early seventies which got me into metal, both Byron and Kerslake now gone.
Great to see how happy Lee was at the end of his days, always up beat always grateful, a thoroughly decent chap.
Lee is a great guy. Thanks for sharing this video! He'll be missed.
I remember Lee's awesome drumming and backing vocals with Uriah Heep. My first drum set were Slingerland chromes because of him. Rest Easy Lee.... ♥️
RIP Lee..You'll be sadly Missed
I'm not a musician but I sure know great stuff when I heart it. Loved Lee's drumming. I'll always remember you, Lee. You live on forever. See you in heaven, I hope.
I didn't know but Lee was a Great man...So humble , gentleman and grateful.. Rest in Peace. God bless him....
R.I.P LEE you were a pivotal part of the birth of metal. Rock on brother
It takes a great Drummer to have a great band no matter who's in it, and Lee made Ozzy great... Glad to see he finally acknowledged it. R.I.P. Mr. Kerslake, you are a Giant!
So humble, so genuine and so very sad that you have left us. See you later Lee
WAS IN URIAH HEEP. DAMN GONE. GLAD HE GOT SOME DUE FOR WRITING THE BEST 2 ALBUMS EVER RECORDED. RIP LEE. PEACE.
I thought he was still alive?
Still alive for now.
@@overkilling84 Not anymore. RIP.
@@grobbler1 nope he passed away September 19th 2020
I met Lee way back in the early 70's and was still friends with him until he passed away 😔 😢 RIP my friend 😔 😇 🙏 🙏 🙏🙏 #chicagogroupie70s
@@grobbler1 RIP now,
All hail to Lee Kerslake....magnificient drummer and a great joy to listen to
May your memory be for a blessing Lee! Thank you for your brilliant contribution to music. May you rest in blissful peace
R.I.P. great man.
RIP Lee. A true metal giant with the humility of a true gentlemen.
The beginning of over the mountain is one of the most iconic intros I’ve ever heard,and I was a dedicated Neil Peart fan.Loved the magicians birthday,sweet Lorraine,just loved his drumming- let the party carry on -RIP
Incredible how Sharon had Lee's and Bob Daisley's parts re-recorded to deny Lee and Bob their pay. This is the guy who played Crazy Train as it was originally recorded and even he got the short end of the stick in the "Biz". It boggles the mind, the greed and malfeasance existent in the music industry.
They would call it bussiness
If you know much about Ozzy, you know he can't really write music. So they essentially stole the songwriting from Daisley. What a way to show your gratitude for someone who carried your dead weight during the process. I try to avoid hearing the 2002 reissue.
That's fucking greed for you.
Even Ozzy thought it was wrong
That was all Sharon's doing. She was one greedy bitch. She was the manager so she had a big say in what went on in the beginning.
I am glad I watched this. I am approaching 60 and recently I been having a hard time. I been out of work for a while and it's tough making ends meet. Well Lee reminded me to keep my head up and move forward. Thanks for the inspiration Lee and RIP.
Thanks! Please share!
It really sucks that he has passed. The dude was an amazing drummer. All of the bands and projects he was involved with were really good. Big loss to the music world. It is a shame that he had to fight to receive so much of the credit and acknowledgement that he deserved for the work he did with Ozzy.
What a lovely man! RIP Lee. Beautiful person and fantastic drummer 🥁❤️🤘🏻
I had the opportunity to tour with Uriah in 2000 I was backline tech for the opening band for a month in Germany. I spent countless hours hanging out and drinking with Lee and Mick I would sit right behind him as he played every night. Best times ever miss you mate!!
He seemed like a great guy! Loved his musical contributions to the Ozzy music. RIP 😞
R I.P. Lee...you are a legend and you will be missed. But, you will never be forgotten with that beautiful soul you have!!💜😪✌🤘💜
It's despicable, fake gold records in a cheap frame, instead of royalties..
@@jamesb.9472 @james b Well, both Lee and Bob Daisley didn't get the royalties they were due. They took Ozzy and Sharon to court but lost because they don't have such deep pockets to spend on legal fees. It also happened with Jake E Lee, he doesn't get any writing credits or the financial rewards that go with that. He asked Sharon about it and her answer was, "Well, we have everything written and recorded, you either sign an NDA and agree that Ozzy wrote the Bark At The Moon album and make money on the tour, or leave and join a long queue of people who are trying to sue us." Ozzy's response was, "I got fucked over at your age and now I fuck you, it's just business." They didn't do the same thing to Randy Rhoads but when Randy told Ozzy he wanted to leave Ozzy punched him in the face. What lovely people they are!
@@jamesb.9472 > Actually .... it is all questionable !!!! :o((
@@jamesb.9472 the osbournes went so far as to rerecord blizzard and diary bass and drums with trujillo and whoever and then re-released it as 'remastered', all to screw lee and bob out of credit and royalties. dont put anything past sharon and ozzy.
@@jamesb.9472 Ozzy and Sharon had all his drum parts re-recorded in 2002, removing him, so they didn't have to pay him. COLD!
@@jamesb.9472 Daisley and Kerslake played on the album Diary Of A Madman. The record came out crediting 2 different people instead. That's years of performance royalties unpaid. Go to Bob Daisley's website for details.
Glad him and Ozzy made their peace before it was too late ❤️
The Osbournes kept the millions they owed him Ozzy probably had to raise hell w/Sharron out of guilt to get those platinum records to him , Sharron & Ozzy are real POS for robbing him & Bob not to mention rerecording their parts on the 1st two albums.
My drum hero. I took lots of inspiration from his drumming into my black metal bands. RIP.
Had to literally tell Ozzy and Sharon he was dying. Class acts those Osbournes
Yea, she's a real peach isn't she?
Yeah, Ozzy's could only part with the gold records when Kerslake told them he was dying...class acts...
I hear you, I still think it's mostly Sharon since ozzy's brain is totally fried and he has no clue what is even going on especially in those matters of business... still it is quite sad
those osbournes treated Bill Ward equally lame during the "the end" fiasco.
@@LadyFairChildVideo Sharon osbourne killed the only chance at a final tour with the original black sabbath lineup
Had the privilege of seeing Lee Kerslake perform with Uriah Heep with John Wetton on bass. Great band and RIP to both.
At first i thought it was some heavy metal joke, so to say, then i understood he wasn't kidding.. Brave man who lived his life at his full and faced the end with a defiant smile. RIP
No one mentions S.A.T.O.? Seriously amazing performance from him and Daisley.
My favorite song for drumming by lee. I play it every time I warm up
That song is near genius level.
GREAT SONG!
mrsleep0000 Amen!!!!
One of my favorite musicians. Awesome drummer, and his backing vocals with Heep rounded out their sound.
I loved the first two Ozzy albums, a lot of us did. That was one hell of a band with Kerslake, Daisley and Rhoads, and he had Don Airey on keyboards. Then issues over money and songwriting credit come into play and Ozzy has paid no one for their work since and just has hired sidemen. They really screwed over two guys that had so much to do with getting Ozzy some musical credibility and wrote some really good songs for him. Nice to see Lee had a good time right up until the end.
Truly EVIL & Shameful
RIP Lee the legend, Blizzard, my favorite Ozzy Album
I love you drums master Lee Kersley !!!!
What you did together with RiP Gary Thain was remarkable and amazing .... I mean it !!!!
Rest in Peace and God bless your musician soul !!!!
Only a good memories about you ..... from the Republic of Poland.
*Thank you Lucas, for sharing this interview with us all who are big fans of Lee Kerslake. It would have been awesome to see Lee and Bob in concert during the Blizzard/Diary tours. Although Rudy and Tommy did an excellent job in their place, I wonder how it would have turned out, had Lee and Bob still been part of the group during and after Blizzard/Diary. I was fortunate to see Randy Rhoads, R.I.P., on the Diary tour on February 19, 1982, a month before his untimely passing. Now Lee is gone, but will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Lee. A true legend.*
I am happy to provide good visual content. He was a great person. Did you watch the interview with Ozzy? Thanks!
He should have never had to wait for the recognition.
John Knouse Absolutely! But I think he was at the point that he just wanted recognition for his accomplishments. But I agree. Lee and Bob should have been paid ever since the albums came out.
God bless you Lee, one of world's greatest drummers.
RIP Lee 🙏🥁from heep and ozzy and rock fan's all over the world .magnificent human being and drummer ❤
Very sad to hear of Lee's recent passing. I loved his work with Uriah Heep, as he played on some of their best albums. He's showing incredible resolve in this video, knowing he doesn't have much time left. R.I.P. Lee Kerslake.
He died on September 19th, 2020. Why was that not music news? :(
It was news in my house. Vale Lee Kerslake!
For what it's worth, it was reported by all the major news outlets here in Norway. I had to put on July Morning from the 1973 Heep live album when I saw the news.
Umm. . . newsflash the rest of us get it. Lead singers and lead guitar make the news. Not drummers or bass guys so much. especially whiners.
Agreed. I did not hear of Steve Priests passing either until a month or two later.
Guy was a monster
One of Best drummers in The World. RIP Lee
Listen to the incredible drumming on Heep's Magician's Birthday. Just Lee and Mick Box going apeshit back and forward. One of the greatest drummers ever yet hardly anyone outside the business knew who he was.
RIP mate I'll keep listening to your work till I'm gone too.
RIP sir.
You drummed the hell out of the only 2 ozzy albums I own.
When I first got Diary of a Madman, on the inner sleeve, there was a picture of the band with Tommy and Rudy. Being a huge fan of Tommys from Pat Travers, I marveled at his incredible drum performance and sound! Well, I later found out all the stuff that everyone knows and was introduced to Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley. Absolutely stunning bass and drum performances. And knowing what I know now, in my opinion, there is no way those albums would have been what they were and still are with Rudy and Tommy. Both incredible in their own right for sure, but Randy, Lee and Bob were 3 masters of the art of music in an amazing few moments of history. Rest in peace, Lee. Your drumming lives on!
Awesome man! Amazing drummer! Lee will be sadly missed!
Lee was a true Metal drummer. Say hello to Neil for us. Tough year for drummers. I hate getting old.
I didn't know that Lee passed away. He was a great drummer. Uriah Heep was my favorite band early in the 70's. I didn't realize that he played with Ozzy on these albums.....wow!! Rest in peace, Lee
What a great drummer Lee was,amazing in all senses, saw him play with Uriah Heep.R.I.P.
Great drummer, a legend in rock music, RIP Lee, you will never be forgotten !
What a champ. RIP sir. IMO Lee's work with Uriah Heep is a far more worthwhile contribution to rock music than any of Ozzy's solo albums.
Uriah Heep was the first band I ever saw, I never passed on a chance to see them. RIP Lee.
Very sad, yet what a great attitude. He stayed loyal to Uriah Heep through countless lineups and better opportunities, with Ozzy’s 80’s band as one of them. The introduction to Over The Mountain will never fade. RIP “If I had the time... to relive my life... I don’t think I’d care... to change a thing.”
I'm glad he's happy. Those albums are awesome. He did an excellent job.
Lee was half of... in my humble opinion, one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock music there's ever been.
That being himself and Gary Thain. RIP Lee.
The Osbournes; as shabby and cheap as they come. Sharon and Ozzy should be totally ashamed of themselves. You know what; I bet Randy Rhoads would be a name on the long list of people they’ve screwed over if he hadn’t died.
Really depends. I don't think Zakk Wild or Jake E. Lee were screwed. Jake says they treated him fine but was kind of freaked out by how they treated others. All I know THUS far as I could very well be wrong as the story is still being told.
Most definitely ! I guess you didn't see the vid of Bob saying he heard from a reliable source that right after the plain crash , Sharon was trying to get Randy's contract changed to take all his money
highly unlikely as Randy had already told Ozzy he was out after that tour to move on to music he wanted to play. Randy wasn't sticking around, it's odd most people don't know that.
I'm pretty sure Ozzy and Sharon did screw over Randy, especially after he had given his notice to leave the band after completing the Diary of a Madman tour. Randy's mom Dolores became the executor of his estate when he died in 1982 and she had been after Ozzy and Sharon for all the royalties they never paid him. For years, they gave her the runaround, and sometime in the mid-80's I believe Mrs. Rhoads filed a lawsuit for the back royalties. Suspecting Mrs. Rhoads would have the fan's sympathy (since Randy was the one who gave Ozzy's career a second shot of life) and how bad it would look if she went public with the reason why she filed the lawsuit, lo and behold, Ozzy conveniently released Tribute in 1987, after he vowed he would never release any concert material with Randy. It wouldn't surprise me if Tribute was a quick and easy way to pay off Mrs. Rhoads and get her off their backs.
Just look at his family's music school and how shabby it looks. Look at the family ...the certainly don't look like they inherited any of Randy's music publishing royalties. Randy was going to leave Ozzy ...the reasons given to the public was that he wanted to spend more time in classical music and so fourth. Bet getting ripped off was part of the reason. I met the drummer for Ratt that replaced Bobby in 1990. He said the Rock music scene and world is filled with maniacs that destroy everything and everyone around them.
He said unless you're rich to the point where you can afford all of the lawsuits everyone around you instigates, he said its not a good idea to pursue a career in the industry,
What people don't realize is that Lee was the man for the first two Ozzy albums. That he was very much a part of the songwriting for those albums.
Life... one day you are young and on top of the world the next you are saying goodbye.
much respest and admiration for the one the only mr. LEE FERSLAKE!!! See you on the other side my friend!!
RIP. You will always be an inspiration to my drumming and my own war on cancer.
I love you Mr Lee Kerslake!!!!! see you on the other side!
Thank Mr. Kerslake for the inspiration on drums! RIP!
I'm so glad he got all his accolades and recognition this man truly deserves it, for a while there I thought
they were going to try and erase him. I will never forget those killer drum intros on Little Dolls and Over The Mountain.
RIP Mr. Kerslake. Your drumming and laying down the foundation for the man (Randy Rhoads) who inspired me to become formally/classically trained in guitar is permanently etched into my brain evermore. On another note, I studied rather extensively on the "issues" with John Michael Osbourne (Ozzy) and Sharon; Sharon is a greedy fucking ghoul, and Ozzy either has no balls to stand up to Sharon, or he simply hides behind her. No wonder Jake E. Lee hates them both.
They are truly evil bastards.
I am from Brazil!
Lee i love you!!R.I.P.
Tears...
I hope Sharon gets what’s coming to her.
Fukin entitled bitch she is an embarasment
@robert proctor Umm..who is going to judge us all one fine day then?
Good night kind sir and thank you for all the love
One of the best rock drummers ever up there with Bonzo, Moon, Priceline etc RIP Lee your music lives on.
Ment Paice
Wow. I just found out the Lee had passed. It's a sad day in rock history. R.I.P.
Such a wonderful man he was!
what a sweet, strong, and gracious man. RIP
nice that he was honored for his work on diary of a mad man ! RIP
100% Class act...Wonderful life perspective. My friend Glen and I got to know Lee over the course of several tours that came through Seattle in the 70's. We were 2 teenage fans and he remembered us every time Uriah Heep came through and even sent us postcards from England. What rock star does that for their fans?? Lovely person and he certainly has taught me something here..
Definitely one of my biggest influences. And still is. I still love to play his stuff particularly the Diary album. Thank you Mr Kerslake.
When I was a teen in the '80's, I discovered Wizards and Demons by Uriah Heep when going through my stepdad's old vinyl. Frikkin blew my mind. Love that album!
RIP Lee...find Randy...most amazing metal drummer...influenced thousands. Invented some mazing intros
Good show, old chap! Thank you sir!!!
