Jake E. Lee replaces George Lynch in Ozzy (amusing story)

I love these short interviews about the business back in the day from Full In Bloom:




Man, I just busted a gut laughing at the information in this interview.  Jake gives us another shocking insight into the business side of the Osbournes and it's actually kinda positive for once.  Apparently, Jake was notoriously late for rehearsals and they got fed up with him, so Sharon takes him out to lunch to fire him.  The rest has to be listened to in the recap of the interview segment toward the end...

Why wouldn't Jake show up late - he was probably depressed after Sharon screwed him out of all royalties and publishing for Bark At The Moon.  He lost millions of dollars while the Osbourne devils went on to take advantage of more of their musicians while they themselves got richer and richer.   I've no sympathy for the Osbournes and the idea that she had a "heart" is ludicrous to me.  If she had one, she would not have been such a greedy beast.  She was probably just feeling afraid or guilty for a moment, but the moment passed and she went back to her old Jezebel self.

This is what she should be reading because this is a warning to her and her hubby:

James 5:1-6:

"Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.  You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you."

That's what shocked me the most, she couldn't go through with the termination.  I figured she would be gung-ho on canning him, since he was a non-compliant trouble-maker and she's the black widow.  I guess back then she wasn't totally callous and heartless (at least at the time).  Even Darth Vader has some good in him.

She keeps it in a jar in the basement.

At the Alamo... in the basement.

Good ol' Pee Wee Herman.

Dont think the Osbournes are welcome at the Alamo, unless you mean the Steakhouse or the Movie Theater.

Good point.

Hilarious story on how Jake E. Lee got the Ozzy gig instead of George Lynch:

Sharon keeps her face in a jar by the door.
