Ozzy Osbourne Accused By Former Guitarist
. He tells Eddie Trunk via Blabbermouth: "Here's the truth. This is really gonna get me in more hot water, but whatever. I'm in hot water and I don't see a way out. "I was told from the get-go, 'If you write part of the songs you'll get writing credit, you'll get publishing - that's part of your deal.' We recorded the album at Ridge Farm Studios and I kept asking because I'm getting really close to finishing all my stuff on the record. Once I laid down the final track they said, 'We have the contract for you.' "In it, it said, 'Ozzy Osbourne wrote all the songs. You had nothing to do with any of the writing, you have no claim to publishing, and you cannot say so publicly.' "I said to Sharon Osbourne, 'This isn't what you told me before. Why do you think I'm going to sign it?' She said, 'Because if you don't, we'll give you a plane ticket, you go back home and you stand in line and you sue us. In the meantime, we have all your tracks, we'll get another guitar player, he'll redo your tracks, and you'll have nothing.'" And Lee says he didn't challenge the decision as it would have been a legal nightmare. He continues here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
