How much money OZZY paid JAKE E LEE

This is my review on how much money Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne paid Jake E. Lee

[raistlinrodriguez]

I knew Jake when he lived in Vegas, he's such a good guy and deserved so much better than he got. He used to come into Sam Ash to get his guitars worked on and we talked all the time. He's truly a good guy and I hope he's doing well.

They surely didn't pay him near what he was worth. The Osbornes were known to be greedy . They were paying Randy Rhodes 300 bucks a week, and he put Ozzy back on the map. They're horrible people.

Sharon and Ozzy always played this little game of "good cop bad cop". In this case, "crazy cop, greedy cop", Good job Don!

Gary Moore said that Jake E Lee was his favorite Ozzy guitar player.

Wrote one of the best riffs/songs/solos of all time and gets ripped off

[shazarhaniff]

That bark at the moon song from beginning to end. jake let us hear his skills...
That solo is unbelievable..

[Buckeyefarmer]

I used to think Sharon was the ruthless one and Ozzy was just kind of oblivious, but turns out Ozzy is not any better than her.

[TweedSuit]

Sharon has spent more money on her face than all of Ozzy's musicians pay combined.

Jake is the man, that sucks Sharron did him dirty

Jake did the Wicked Alliance tour in 94 and then his solo album "A Fine Pink Mist" in 96 before he decided to go into semi-retirement. Ive talked to Jake many times and we have had long chats about all of this and I can tell you...He isnt bitter and the last thing he wants is pity or sympathy. He's a solid guy to the core. No BS...just a genuiene guy...he does things on his own terms and doesnt need or want to be in any kind of spotlight. Ive known many artists over the years and Jake is one of the most solid ones Ive known. Most are primadonnas.

Rumor has it Kiss paid Mark St. John $50, 000 a year in 1984. If that's true, it's a sorry state of affairs when Ozzy makes Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley seem generous by comparison.

Jake E.Lee in a April 2019 interview mentioned that he received $200, plus road touring perks whenever he joined Ozzy. I thought he was worth 10X as much after seeing and hearing his awesome guitar playing. Sharon Osbourne did Jake wrong. God bless Jake for going through the contract. I hope he makes a full recovery from his surgery.

All these people that have been screwed royally on music publishing should be able to sue the hell out of all the Osborne’s !!

[davidbecker]

Notice they never have reissued The Ultimate Sin. Probably because they had to give Jake writing credits. None of those songs are on any of the best of albums either.

Jake used to come into my music store in the mid 1990’s in Huntington Beach California. He was a great guy and very humble. He did a lot of business and bought a lot of guitar pedals. He would come back a month later and trade a bunch of them back in and get more, LOL! He is a very under rated player in my opinion and deserves a lot more credit. He told me a story I will share. He was on the Monster’s of Rock tour in the UK or Europe somewhere? He said Ozzy came on, after Gary Moore and Van Halan. He said “I had to follow those two guys”? Can you imagine? The pressure was on. But he said Eddie came up to him after Ozzy’s set and complemented him. He said it meant a lot. The story stayed with me.

[JiveTurkey]

They even tried ripping off Randys family over his Royalties, Bob Daisley wrote most of Blizzard and Diary and got ripped off. ozzy and that witch are 2 dirtbags

[tommeredith]

One must never forget Sharon Osborne sat at the feet as a young lady watching her Crooked father, Don Arden rip off his act’s left and right.
The best example of Don Arden’s thievery is The Small Faces.
Don put the band members on a small stipend and provided a house for the band to reside.
They also had access to a clothing store.
Don toured the living shit out of this band and mopped up financially.
The band was paying for their housing, Clothes etc unbeknownst to the lads.
Don ripped them off with royalties, the worst ripoff heard of.
So nothing surprises me about Sharon being cheap, stingy and untruthful.

The more videos I watch the more I hate Sharon and ozzy

[dean]

Phil Soussan stole the song " Shot in the Dark"... the main riff - chord progression was written by John Sloman (ex Uriah Heep/Gary Moore lead singer) who briefly had Soussan working on a possible band project a year or so before Soussan went to Ozzy... he nicked the song from Sloman and presented it as his own... Sloman did not have the financial ability to seek legal action against Soussan during those years, knowing that the Osbournes would try and prevent loss of royalties... the music business...

Fantastic video. During the pandemic, I stumbled across an interview Jake E Lee did with some podcast. He talked a lot about the Ozzy years, but more so how management screwed over Badlands. He went into details about how the last tour was paid for by themselves and they traveled with all their equipment. Ray's death was a tragedy, and you nailed it how grunge came up out of nowhere. My dad was a failed musician in a band, who never got famous, and was always bitter how grunge just came up out of the blue and the landscape of rock music changed overnight. Many bands were dropped in favor of the hot new thing that was coming out.
The story about George Lynch is sad. I had no idea he was nearly in Ozzy's band. Thank you for these stories, they're incredible. Jake was one of my favorite 80s guitar players. The Ultimate Sin has some really good songs, and his guitar playing had more of a blues touch to it that I fell in love with.
