Classical Composer Reacts to Mr. Crowley (OZZY OSBOURNE) | The Daily Doug (Episode 571)

#ozzyosbourne #mrcrowley #metalmonday

In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm listening to Ozzy Osbourne as a solo artist for only the second time. It was amazing to watch Ozzy, Randy, Bob, Don, and Lee do their thing. I was especially taken with Randy's guitar playing. Come rock out to some classic Ozzy with me!

Not only was Randy a phenomenal guitar player but also a very intelligent and kind human being. RIP Randy Rhoads.

The smile on Ozzy’s face as he watches Randy playing is priceless

[jackiepapers]

You can see the admiration Ozzy had for him even in this video, as if it was the first time he had heard him play.

[None_More_Metal]

Randy is absolutely one of the greatest guitar players to ever walk the earth. So sad we only got to hear his talents for such a short time.

Bassist Bob Daisley wrote the incredible lyrics for the songs on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. Bob and Randy worked on writing and arranging the music. Bob Daisley is one of the most underrated Australian musicians.

The bit at the end where Ozzy becomes entranced watching Randy.... says it all – he couldn't believe his luck finding this guy. Randy was a tour de force at the cusp of neo-classical metal... what a player.

Randy was that dangerous combo of really knowing the instrument and fully understanding the music

I'm 54 years old.
I remember when this album came out and I've been listening to ever since.
I still get goosebumps. Randy Rules.

[TheTenngoat]

Your reaction to Saint Rhoads' solo made my day. I remember when this album came out in 1981 and I heard Randy play for the first time. It was the same reaction that I had when I first heard Eddie Van Halen play1978. I stood there with my mouth hanging open and my jaw on the floor. Sure there have been plenty of "Guitar Gods" prior to Randy. But this dude just hit it out of the park. It was devastating when he passed in 1982. RIP Saint Rhoads. Thanks for doing this song Doug.

Can we talk about how incredible Rudy Sarzo's bass sounds on this??? His tone, his presence in the mix, his playing with all the running fills & varied chuggy rhythms driving the pacing of everything else by his changes in sustain lengths & spaces between notes!

[neillenet]

This wasn't Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. It's Tommy Aldridge on Drums and Rudy Sarzo on bass.

[CompleteProducer]

Wow! It’s so crazy to me that Doug hasn’t done this song yet

[Indiskret]

Insane performance and despite me hearing it for probably the 500th time, eyes tearing up yet again as I'm overcome with emotions over how gifted Randy was and how very early we lost him.

[SirPulga]

Now let's see your impression about the phenomenon and legendary Randy Rhoads and why in such a short life he forever marked the history of guitar and music in general.

[andrewhall]

This was filmed later when Sharon had convinced Ozzy to kick Lee Kerslake out as they wanted Tommy Aldridge. Bob wasn’t happy and consequently left or was kicked out too. Bobs book ‘For Facts Sake’ is a great read that tells about his contribution to Ozzys career and the credit he and Lee didn’t receive as well as insights into Randy’s life.

[mojopin]

Randy's mother was a classical teacher....he definitely brought that element to OZZY but it was Randy and Bob ( Daisley) who really shaped these songs...

[jamesmccormick]

This was all Randy’s influence. The man was so innovative and no one played like Randy. To me he was the greatest guitarist of that era. His influence has only gotten greater with time and will continue for years to come.

[cbn]

Tommy Aldridge is such a badass drummer... 😎 ..one of the best classic metal line-ups EVER!

[michaeldique]

Ozzy's just looking at his band finishing the song like he's a spectator, marveling at how great a band he has behind him. Randy was a musical genius, but the rest of the band is so rock solid too! I don't think we'll ever witness anything like this again. Great pick, even if Ozzy's not singing at his best at this performance. Maybe a cold. Maybe too much alcohol and drugs. But I treasure the performance regardless. I started playing guitar after I heard Ace Frehley from KISS, and then Randy came along and blew my mind! In my view he's still the best guitar player in the world.

[wgnation]

Randy has been my favorite guitarist since I first heard him in early '1982. Daisley wrote the lyrics, Ozzy came up with the vocal melody.
