Why does this guy talk like he's straining to take a shit?

Jake E Lee is Asian so of course Asians don't make eye contact that is part of their culture and dna.

It's a shame that Grover Jackson is defending Sharon! Randy put him on the map! Then other guitarists started using Jackson! Even though Randy is my favorite guitar player, I gravitated toward Ibanez for most of my career. I wanted to buy a new Soloist, but they're $2500! I've been playing a Cort X500 Menace that's half the price with nearly twice the features!

Sharon knew what she was doing when she hooked up to that crazy gravy train.

Grover is part of the "masonic cult" and doesn't want to ruffle any feathers, within the satanic hierarchy! 👺

Sharon would screw over ANYBODY she could, she has a loooooooooonnnnngggggg history of not paying the help.

Jake's first gig with Ozzy was sooner than the US Festival. I saw them in late March of 83.

The way Ozzy was back then, he was an asshole on drugs/booze. Punched Randy when he wanted to leave. Why wouldn't Randy leave? If you're not getting paid, you might as well be back home giving lessons.

Regarding Jake E. Lee of not making direct eye contact is a symptom of forms of autism. No dissing of Mr. Lee-friggin great guitarist and a gentlman in the interviews I've listened to.

After 15 years on stage, when I talk to people, I turn my head to point my ear at them because my hearing is shot. If I still can't hear them, I look at their mouth trying to read their lips. Plus, sometimes I actually AM impersonal!!

RIP Randy and Lee.
Bob, thanks for the music 🎶 ❤
I wonder if Grover was named after the Muppet Grover or vice versa or maybe no relation at all? Hmm 🤔
No disrespect to the Muppet intended.
His record is unblemished. 👍

Sharon might have leveraged it all but she had to legally purchased insurance.

Couple of things. It's been well documented by Tony, Ozzy & Geezer that Bill Ward was the target of the bands mischief. Being the daughter of Don (The Don) Arden, Sharon would've been just fine if her Ozzy experiment tanked and Ozzy would've eventually been ok if he survived. A Black Sabbath reunion with Ozzy would've been monumental had they reunited at any point.

Sharon also hooked up with Randy, which no one talks about. Jake, he didnt care about Ozzy the way Randy did, so he was less caring how things went. He was doing Ozzy a favor, and probably didnt care for faking a brotherhood on stage. He was also getting paid peanuts, even after they were making money on tour. Sharon made Jake sign an agreement not to speak about anything for thirty years, which he did.
