In a brand new interview with Tone-Discuss, he mentioned:
“Nicely, to be sincere with you, I didn’t anticipate to be talked about, solely due to the soiled water that’s gone underneath the bridge between us. And the way [former Ozzy drummer] Lee [Kerslake] and I’ve been taken out of images, been taken out of movies, had credit eliminated, had images eliminated, all that stuff. So, it was no shock to me that I didn’t get talked about. However someone used an excellent analogy about my state of affairs with that, and that was compared with Elton John and Bernie Taupin, that each one these songs have been written, lyrically, by Bernie Taupin and Elton John wrote the music. And it was an identical state of affairs with [me and Ozzy] — I wrote all of the lyrics for these albums and songs.”
When requested what he considered Ozzy’s speech on the Rock Corridor, Bob mentioned: “He regarded unwell. He regarded sad. And I don’t get off on seeing folks, no matter who they’re or what they’ve completed, wanting unwell or wanting sad or no matter. He in all probability simply went by means of the motions. Nevertheless it’s type of what I anticipated. I didn’t anticipate to be talked about or something. No matter how essential my function was or what I created or helped to create or no matter, I actually didn’t anticipate to even get a point out… I imply, it might have been good.”
The 74-year-old Daisley, who has sued the Osbournes a number of instances over unpaid royalties, added:
“Amanda Peters is a feminine guitarist in Los Angeles that I might be working with subsequent yr. And he or she’s a beautiful individual, very supportive and all of that. However she began up a petition saying that I needs to be inducted with Ozzy — if he’s getting in, then I needs to be, as a result of [late Ozzy guitarist] Randy’s [Rhoads] already in there. Then Ozzy was being inducted, and all of the stuff that we did collectively. If anyone needs to be in there, Lee and I needs to be in there as nicely. And lots of people did signal the petition, however it didn’t get anyplace or do something. It was a pleasant gesture on her half and all of the folks that that signed it. I felt good. It was good to see supportive folks pondering that manner.”
