Gibson basses sound good through Marshalls

Bob Daisley recently appeared on the Artists On Record podcast, and what distinguishes this interview, he was answering questions from the listeners. The bulk of the conversation revolved around Ozzy, but there were a couple of questions about Rainbow (hint: look for segment titles in the progress bar).

Thanks to the Ultimate Guitar and BraveWords for the heads-up.

    Yawn. Ozzy fans sure have a knack for asking the same old, same old questions over

    and over

    and over the mountain again. 😑 I’m no Ozzy fan, but even I have heard those stories at least a dozen times by now.

    Why doesn’t anybody ask, if everything was so hunky-dory with Rainbow, why didn’t you ask in the late summer of 1978 whether you could stay with the band? Or: When Ariel Bender/Luther Grosvenor had backstage punch-ups with other Widowmaker members, who won? 😂 Why did Mothers Army never play live, not even in Japan where you had a recording contract and where a few club gigs could have been easily arranged? With a couple of Ozzy, Rainbow, Night Ranger and Vanilla Fudge/Cactus songs thrown in, you would have had quite a set!

    I geddit why playing Sabbath songs was not really to Randy’s taste. He really didn’t like heavy music that much, preferring Mick Ronson with David Bowie to anything from the Holy Brit Heavy Triumvirate. Pre-success Quiet Riot with Randy was a power pop outfit whose music echoed Brit glam rock:

    That is why those first two Ozzy albums sound a lot poppier than anything Ozzy had done before.
