Hi Dave,
I assume you didn't have too much time with Ozzy in the studio as you worked with him on tour, but how did the new band (Tommy Rudy etc) gel? Better or worse than the original band (Bob and Lee etc)

It is well documented that Ozzy is prone to mood swings. Did you notice any cerative patterns with Ozzy's highs and lows. Was Ozzy like many creative people who have bi-polar disorder that on a high becoem very productive and creative?

Dave, to the best of your recollection, what tour bus models did Black Sabbath and Blizzard of Oz bands use the most? Did they ever use a Prevost tour bus? What was/is your favorite tour bus brand? Thanks.

Dave,

I'm sure as a personal assistant that you have heard some interesting requests from Mr. Osbourne. What is the strangest or most unorthodox thing you can remember Ozzy asking for?

Hey Dave,

First off, thanks for answering these questions...very cool indeed!
Everyone knows that Ozzy's done some crazy things in his life. Can you remember a story that perhaps shows maybe the more sensitive or reflective side to Ozzy?

Hi Dave,
Out of all the band members and crew from Black Sabbath and Blizzard of Ozz do you still keep in touch with any of them ?. When was the last time you spoke to Ozzy ?.

:lol: Dave, considering that you knew Ozzy pretty well, I wonder how organised Ozzy was when they were forming the band? I´ve always been very curious to know about Ozzy, Bob & Randy situation, how were things before the actual band, looking from the rears, so to speak...

Hi Dave

Did you expect the Ozzy band to become as popular as it did in those early days? When you were with them back in 1980 Ozzy had been written off as a has been! did you expect his shows to become as amazing as they became?

Hi Dave

Were you asked to work with Ozzy after 1981? and when was the last time you met/bumped/heard from him and chatted?
