Bob Daisley For Facts Sake Book Review

Bassist Bob Daisley has done it all.

For many music fans, they know him as the bassist on many of Ozzy Osbourne’s biggest albums, but many may not know that Bob wrote many of Ozzy’s lyrics and he played in other bands before and after working with Ozzy.

If you are a music fan, this is a MUST READ book.

Bob tells it all.  Not necessarily dishing dirt, but just tells the truth.

He played in the bands/artists Kahvas Jute, Widowmaker, Chicken Shack, Rainbow, The Blizzard Of Ozz (what Ozzy’s group was supposed to be called), Uriah Heep, Gary Moore, Black Sabbath, and more.

But as I said, many know of his work with Ozzy.

He wrote the lyrics on all of the albums he worked on with Ozzy and was the bassist.

There have been efforts to try to discredit him for some of his work, but you cannot argue with the truth, and that is:  Bob Daisley is an extremely important person in the career of Ozzy Osbourne (who I am a fan of too).

I don’t want to say too much because I’ll be giving it away, but I’ll just say read the book because Bob tells all.

He talks about working with Lee Kerslake (another hugely important person in Ozzy’s career), Randy Rhoads, Jake E. Lee, Zakk Wylde, and many others he has worked with including Ritchie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio (I did not know he briefly played in the Dio band for a short run of tour dates), Cozy Powell, Gary Moore, Jon Lord, and so many more.

He has tons of pictures throughout the book too.  My gosh it’s worth getting just for the pictures.  

As a music fan, reading the story of him being around the Led Zeppelin guys and ultimately getting all of their autographs on their Led Zeppelin IV album to give to his sister for Christmas is phenomenal to me.

Bob has so many stories (this book is set up like a big coffee table book but is so easy and great to read) so I cannot say enough:  GET THIS BOOK!  You will not regret it.

Rock on Bob.
