After being fired from Black Sabbath, Sharon Osbourne helped Ozzy to start his solo career and recruiting the former Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads to be part of his band was crucial for his success. The legendary guitarist was a fundamental part of the first albums "Blizzard of Ozz" (1980) and "Diary of a Madman" (1981) but tragically passed away at the age of 25 in an airplane crash in 1982. He was first replaced by Bernie Tormé and Brad Gillis as touring guitarists. But the first album Ozzy recorded with a new guitar player was "Bark At The Moon" when he chose Jake E. Lee to be part of the band. The comparison with Rhoads was inevitable and Lee recalled in an interview with Tone Talk (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar) that he suffered with angry fans for a while when he became a member of the band. Jake E. Lee recalls fan backlash after replacing Randy Rhoads "There was always people in the front rows with 'Randy rules, you suck. "Every gig, there'd be somebody with a sign like that. I think maybe the 'Ultimate Sin' tour. I didn't really see that as much. But the 'Bark at the Moon' tour, there was still a lot of that." "And in the beginning, I didn't know that you're supposed to check into a hotel under an assumed name. So, I just checked in with my real name. I used to get phone calls at the hotel: 'I'm better than you. You suck. Listen to me over the phone.' So that's when I said, 'Oh, that's why you use it.'" "One guy was playing 'Sails of Charon' by Uli [Jon Roth], right? He was playing that. I'm like, 'Yeah, that's Uli! Uli, if you want the gig, you can have it, because you are awesome!' But it's some guy playing another guitar player's shit, trying to tell me how much better he was than me. So, I didn't feel like I was [that accepted yet]," Jake E. Lee said.

The British band Foghat wrote and recorded a new song called "On Tonsils and Sneakers", which is a tribute to their late original lead singer and guitarist "Lonesome" Dave Peverett. The single is titled after his frequent stage introduction, since he used to say: "on tonsils and sneakers, I'm 'Lonesome' Dave". The new single's b-side has the track "Blue Days and Blue Nights' from their recent album Sonic Mojo, which pays tribute to their original slide guitarist Rod Price. Peverett passed away in 2000 at the age of 56 and Price in 2005 at the age of 57. These days, the band's only original member is the drummer Roger Earl.

Roger Earl talked about the new song, saying: "When Lonesome Dave sang and played with this band, he gave nothing less than 100%. I loved playing with Dave. All I had to do was have fun playing drums. Yeah… Lonesome Dave on Tonsils and Sneakers!" "Every once in a while, you meet someone who changes the whole trajectory of your life. Lonesome Dave Peverett was that person for me. From the day we met in the late '80s, our friendship blossomed, I became his touring partner, I met my future wife and became a part of the Foghat family. This song 'On Tonsils & Sneakers' is our tribute to him and was his unique way of introducing himself from the stage. Oh… and he loved designing his stage tennis shoes!" Formed in London, England in 1971, Foghat first achieved fame in the 70s with songs like “Slow Ride”, “Fool For The City” and “I Just Want to Make Love to You”. More than five decades later the band continues active with the original drummer Roger Earl as their leader.The post Foghat releases new song as a tribute to their original singer appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
