This is more about Bob and his legal battles with Ozzy/Sharon. But he does mention some issues that occurred during Jake's time in the band.

Awesome post sir. Sheds some light on business dealings with the Osbournes. Actually, Ozzy contributed a bit more than what i thought originally.

Ultimate Sin is a fine album and to be fair with a better producer it could have sounded heavier. Some lyrical changes would have made "Never Know Why" a classic Ozz tune. Killer Of Giants, Ultimate Sin, and Never are great tunes. Jake's riffs are epic on this album and easily rank as some of the best of Ozzy's music. Sorry Bob, can't agree it's Ozzy worst album. Black Rain is easily the worst by far.

Yeah, I'm not sure how TUS comes off as a bad album.

I really learned about Ozzy and Jake for the first time because videos from that album were all over MTV at the time, and they were showing The Ultimate Ozzy concert.

It was a very polished album, production-wise. Maybe that's why it can get slagged. "Polished" and "Ozzy" might not go well together for some people, at least not back then.

Heres what Bob said when i asked him what he thought of TUS on his website:

Hi Rory, I always liked Jake's playing, 'still do but that album didn't have the right production, it could've been so much better. 'Shot in the Dark' was a bit too 'poppy' for me, other songs on it were okay but the whole thing should've been heavier. Like you say, it's better than some of the later ones... Cheers, Bob.

So Ozzy thinks the Ultimate Sin was the 'Ultimate Din'...the Ultimate Paycheck more like as it paid to keep him in drugs , drink and large houses for the next 20 years.....that record made him an absolute mountain of money on the back of the hard work and dedication of other people. I cant understand why people wanted and want to work with this ungrateful tit.....I mean he cant even go to the toilet without the permission of his wife. I think the future of Ozzy would be brighter if Sharon got on stage and did the performances for him.

I dont know about anyone else but the gigs that are on youtube just now look atrocious....his voice [such as it was] is ghastly and he looks finished. I read the comments by Bob Daisley and feel nothing but sympathy for him..he wont be able to drag 1 cent out of the Osbournes...after all, they need that money to keep Jack and Kelly in Cheesburgers.
