Legendary bassist BOB DAISLEY (OZZY OSBOURNE, RAINBOW, URIAH HEEP, GARY MOORE, BLACK SABBATH) recently spoke with writer Joel Gausten in an exclusive interview on a variety of subjects including his autobiography For Facts Sake, his relationship with RITCHIE BLACKMORE, Black Sabbath’s split with Bill Ward, and his possible future with the Osbournes. An excerpt from the chat appears below:
Despite his troubled history with Ozzy and Sharon, Daisley makes it a point to end For Facts Sake on a positive note, delivering a personal message to the Ozzman: "We must fight all the hate." Nearly 20 years after walking away from Ozzy’s business world, would Daisley ever consider working with the Prince of Darkness again?
"It’s silly to ever say never,” he replies. “I would say at this point it’s not likely. I don’t hate them... I would never say never. I enjoyed working with Ozzy, and I know for a fact that he enjoyed working with me, which is why we used to come up with good stuff. There was a real genuine camaraderie between us. It would be absolutely nice if we could put all that business stuff aside and just look at the friendship and the personal side of things and create again. I’d love that. "Who knows who's going to die next," he adds. "It could be him; it could be me. But before either of us goes, it would be nice to be able to round it off and say, 'We did one more thing together before one of us dies.'"The complete story is available at this location.
On August 19th, Daisley released his autobiography, For Facts Sake. He is featured in a 60+ minute career spanning video interview in support of the book below:
About For Facts Sake, Bob states: "Well folks, at long last, my autobiography For Facts Sake is ready to roll. It's taken me over four years to complete. It covers every band and artist that I've ever worked with and has over 460 photos (many of them color) within and throughout the text. I wanted to make it affordable for the many fans that have given their support. I hope that it lives up to your expectations."
