Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee has long been regarded as one of the Prince of Darkness’s most accomplished collaborators, particularly during the keyboard-heavy early-to-mid-1980s era.

However, in a recent appearance on the Tone-Talk podcast, Lee reaffirmed his longstanding dissatisfaction with the final mix of Bark at the Moon, pinpointing it as the Ozzy record he disliked most sonically. Recounting the moment he first heard the completed mix, Lee described being invited by Ozzy and his manager (and wife) Sharon…

But if I won, then I’d be winning in a reality where my dad isn’t here to experience it. And I was asking myself, Do I want to even exist in this reality? When I was at the gate, I had this really intense memory of him. It was just a random thing, and I couldn’t…
