UR interviews Bob Daisley

Cpt Matt Sparrow · Post by **Cpt Matt Sparrow** » Tue Aug 04, 2009 9:41 am

Hello everyone

I have just had a message from Bob Daisley on facebook agreeing to do an interview with UR.

It will be a phone interview this time (he said online ones take too long) so please can the questions be short, as I will be notating the answers by hand. Also if you would be so kind to keep it to two questions per person.

We will have to patient with Lee as by his own admission he is not too savvy with the old computer keyboard, but all in good time!

I am also away on holiday at the moment so this wont be done for a little while, but pease feel free to start contributing questions.

Cheers

Matt

i can never think of anything to ask, until now

1) Do you enjoy touring? Or would you rather stay in the studio and just do the occasional gig?

2) You've been lucky enough to work with many great artists in your time. Besides your work with the Blizzard of Ozz what has been the most exciting period of your carrer musicaly?

cheers Bob!

Hi Mr. Daisley.

Thanks for doing this.

1. I was wondering, how do you think the interplay between you and Lee Kerslake affected Randy's rhythm playing?

2. which drummers do you most enjoy playing with?

This is another amazing scoop for us at UR Matt, I think everyone who loves Randy will have questions to ask. I will but I need to give this some thought

Mr. Daisley,

When you and the guys were songwriting for BOO and DOAM, did the songs seem to produce themselves organically or was it a conscious, structured effort to produce a song?

Also, do you find yourself listening to those albums occasionally?

Mr. Daisley,
I know your preference is to use a pick, but I often wondered if you used fingerstyle on either of the two albums you recorded with the Blizzard of Ozz?
I've been a fan of your playing and your tone since

Thanks very much for sharing your time and talent.

Tom

...What are you talking about?

As if you could ever disappoint me. But really, I don't know what you're talking about.

Hi Shaun

You are right! It takes so much to make me mad LOL, it really does. I hope with age I can more and more rise above things.
Basically my drinks were spiked last night

and I became very primitive and neanderthal in my online behaviour.

My tolerance reduced to wanting to become Hulk himself. By the way Shaun, I have lots of brotherly loving feelings towards you too!!!

Matt
