I only really knew a couple of songs from Fastway, Say What You Will and Trick or Treat, but I played the shit out of both on mix tapes back in the day!

They are all older guys. Bassist is a huge KISS fan so he paints his face. The Bassist and Guitarist have been in a band together since the mid-80s. Ningen Isu itself has been a band since 1990.

Years later, I became a fan of Flogging Molly and was surprised to find out that their frontman, Dave King, was the same guy who had been the previously unknown lead singer in Fastway.

I recently discovered Flogging Molly. While many of their songs sound similar, it's a sound that I like.

I just found out that drummer Lee Kerslake passed away September 19th at age 73. He was the drummer of Uriah Heep during vocalist David Byron era up to 1978. He played on their biggest albums Demons & Wizards, Magician's Birthday and Sweet Freedom and the Live 1973. He later joined Ozzy Osbourne's band and played on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman.
After the first two Ozzy albums problems surfaced with Ozzy's new manager future wife Sharon, Lee and bassist Bob Daisley both left and later rejoined Uriah Heep. Lee played on 17 Uriah Heep albums in total until he was forced to retire due to ill health in 2007. When Sharon took over management, it turned out that she wasn’t thinking of a full-fledged band but hired musicians. Lee and bassist Bob Daisley, who both composed a majority of the singer’s first two albums filed suit against Ozzy in 1998. In response, Osbourne removed their performances from the 2002 reissues of the albums and had them re-recorded. The lawsuit was later dismissed in 2003. He revealed in 2018 that he had been diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer and told Osbourne that his final wish was to receive the platinum certifications for “Blizzard of Ozz” and “Diary of a Madman,” which Osbourne granted. His final performance was on Dec. 14, 2018, when he joined Uriah Heep onstage in London. Because of his deteriorating health, Lee drank to excess and grew to an astonishing size which forced his retirement in 2007 from Uriah Heep. Here is Lee with his two Platinum albums from the two Ozzy Osbourne releases that he finally won in a settlement with Ozzy. Here is Lee at his prime in 1972 live with Uriah Heep. |

She was so pissed at Daisley and Kerslake for wanting their fair share of publishing and record royalties that she hired Mike Bordin and Robert Trujillo to re-record Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. And while both are outstanding players on their own, they absolutely SUCKED ASS on those albums. I mean, everything was ruined, the feel, the bass tone and the overall drum sound. I just erased two more paragraphs of stuff that I'm not going to share but suffice to say, it wasn't flattering. |

I also mentioned the last time this was discussed but what they did to Jake E Lee almost killed him. I saw him on That Metal Show when he finally decided to start playing again and the guy looked like he had PTSD when he picked up the guitar. I've never really seen anything like it. They shattered him. |

I just know too many things about they way they run their operation for it to be even remotely worth the headache and time. It's certainly not worth the money because Ozzy (Sharon!) takes 50% of the Writer's Share and 100% of the Publisher's Share, which should be criminal. The "prestige" angle would be somewhat nice but in the end, this isn't 1980-1992 Ozzy Osbourne, this is old, worn out, 72 year old Ozzy with the majority of royalties coming from Spotify. Ultimately, I passed. |

It's been awhile since I had retired in 2005. The last time I talked to him he had just finished the Grand Funk reissues for Capitol Records and was working on some compilations for Rhino Records. That's how I found out why Mark Farner and Grand Funk split up. He was more into classic rock and was mostly free lance rather than working for one company. He use tell me about the shows he got to see and backstage meets. I found a 2019 photo of David, he's now listed as a Record Company Executive. |
