I'll never forget the one time I sang this song and some female tart in leather duds starts writhing before me in a seducing manner. I was thinking uh oh! Sure as the moon is in the night sky, my wife jumped out of her chair at our table. I was like OH FUCK! It eventually got so bad that I had to stop singing, separate the two and walk my woman back to our table. Otherwise it would have been a Youtube event in its own way! lol
I remember the first time I ever heard Randy play. It was back in 1981. I was driving in my old Camaro, Kenwood stereo that I'd just installed cranked up. The DJ played "Over The Mountain". I pulled over immediately. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Everything about the guitar work was original, unique, magic, and amazing. I owned Blizzard within 2 hours.
Diary blew my mind even more.
I cried the morning I turned on the radio and heard that Randy was gone.
Really love that intro, one of the best., but much like crazy train the rest of the song doesn't live up to the epic intro. Not that the rest of the song is bad in either instance just not the same level of awesomeness that the intros set them up to be.
We were on the way to the show and we decided to take the backroad into Orlando that early morning, Florida was having a lot of wild fires that year, but that morning driving near Leesburg I'll never forget, we saw the fire and the fuel burning into the sky from the road and we wondered what was that, and it was Randys plane that was burning we saw, I had 3 relapses in 30 some odd years of this incident, and it haunts me to this day, May God let him rest in peace, We will always love you.
@rbertagopetah13 He's doing fine now. He jams with Cliff and it is Glorious; I wouldn't lie to you; his passing has caused me untold grief as well, but know he is redeemed. ;)
After listening to this ask yourself why Randy never though of himself as an elite guitarist. He didn't even dare to put him in the same category as Eddie Van Halen. And for all you who said he died to soon (and he did), and would like to hear him play more music. I've heard Ozzie say that Randy was going to leave the band because he was sick of Heavy Metal. That he wanted to create classical music. So in the end we would have lost him anyway. RIP Randy.
newsflash,,,,randy rhoads never died,,,,he quit,,,,u never see a funeral pic right?....the rumor is he still writes all the stuff n produces all the records,,,,its said he got a sex change n turned gay,,,all the replacements have to sign lengthy non-disclosure agreements,,,,jake quit n talked later,,,,ozzy would not put winter's call on bark at the moon,,,,,,
@burnoutbob2345 Dime is a great player, but Randy would school him any day. Randy was a total nerd. When Ozzy and the band would go out to pubs, Randy would usually stay at the hotel and find a guitar instructor in the phone book.
I finished comprehensive school today and at the closing ceremony of schoolyear two of my buddies played this song. :) Now this song is gonna remind me of them forever. Happily at least the one I'll miss more is going to be in the same high school with me :)
@Videostar1another1fa Duh. Randy and Bob Daisley were that band. Ozzy contributed nothing. In fact, he initially didn't want to do Diary because the time signature was too complicated and he couldn't figure out where to sing. Apparently, Ozzy can only count to four.
** As I've Followed Oz Through Out His Career And The 80's Being My High School Years, I Look Back To When He Was At His Best And This C.D. Will Always Come To Mind First. He Put On Some Really Amazing Show's Back Then.**
OMG that song is my all time fav. Randys style of playing creates a frakin emotional response outta me I love the solo part of this song it's so raunchy and Grindy sounding. Ahh the 80's were the best years :-))
We should consider ourselves fortunate to has been alive when such a talent as Randy Rhoads was brought forward to show us what a great guitarist should sound like. The world has seen some greats, but all of them, living or dead pale in comparison to the superior talent of Randy Rhoads. His life was too short, and his magic too strong for him to live and produce anymore music. We can also thank Ozzy for hiring him and for giving him direction in music to bring out the best in Randy. R.I.P.
Magic happened when this came into being. I am still deeply saddend, even after all of these years, yet so thankfull that these songs were recorded to keep the magic alive forever.
The Sad thing about Randy is that he hadnt even peaked yet..he was still on the rise and in no way had he reached his full potential...his loss is big because of what was still left for him to accomplish, and also he left behind a legacy built off two albums...puts alot of guitarist to shame who have 10- 20 albums recorded
They played this song as a intro for a Machine Head live show. Right after the song they turned down all the light and started the intro tape of Machine Head. That little moment was freaking magic. Thanks Ozzy and the band for such an epic song.
Randy only made 2 albums dumdum. You don't become a martyr/all-timer from just 2 albums as voted by every music fan in the world unless it is somewhat VERY obvious you rule. If anyone would've gotten better it is a practicioner and theorist like he was- and noone out practiced him or knew more music theory as evidenced by his composition.
@axlrhoads You do realize the songs were co-written by him along with already established talents like Bob Daisley,Don Airey and Lee Kerslake, who wrote Ozzys melody lines while Daisley wrote Ozzy's lyrics. Airey had already been in two legendary bands and was known as a classical virtuoso on keys. I understand that it was his suggestion that Randy take the theory lessons, which he did not have in his Quiet Riot days, clearly evident. They wrote these songs together though, thats all.
@careypeak23 He definitely knew his theory way before Ozzy. Remember, he TAUGHT guitar at his parent's music school when he was 16. Randy's sound was pretty much there in the Quiet Riot days; the Laughing Gas solo evolved into several Ozzy songs. Though I'm sure the virtuosity of everyone in Blizzard made Randy step his game up; and it definitely gave him more room to grow as an artist.
@axlrhoads Bob got the best out of Randy. Do you think ANYTHING would have come about if Randy and Ozzy were creating music by themselves Randy only made 2 albums with the Blizzard of Ozz band but was in Quiet Riot and released albums prior. Not even close in caliber to the Blizzard of Ozz band though. You can thank Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake for Randy's legacy. Around the time Randy died he didn't even want to be with Ozzy anymore.
@JonHawaii2003 Honestly, I think Randy would have had the same sound regardless. Getting away from QR was the important thing. They simply weren't a good band at the time, and they were holding him back big time. But if you listen to the Laughing Gas solo, you really hear Randy shine. You even hear a lot of stuff that he'd later use with Ozzy. Though, without the fame that Ozzy brought, he may very well have never made it out of LA.
@JonHawaii2003 The magic of the first two was a combination of things. It's too bad what Sharon did to Bob and Lee though. They should have kissed the ground Bob walked on instead of what they did.
I don't think Randy Rhoads would have been the legend he is today if he would have lived longer. Some people just gain more status by their untimely death, they basically become martyrs.
imagine playing a game where you walk a creepy swamp with thin fog wierd looking threes and enemies than can apear from the nothing while playing this song...yeah...brutal legend
@73xlh Well, I think Yngwie may have something to say about that. Though, to be fair, he had the advantage of not being immolated by jet fuel in his mid-20s. Randy will always be my favorite though. He's the one that actually made me pick up a damn guitar.
@mantlepicture Yngwie is in fact a terrific PLAYER but Yngwie doesn't have the SOUL in my opinion. It,s all about how fast he can go, how many scales he could fit in one measure and Randy was....well just Randy :)
@73xlh I prefer Randy's playing too, but you should check out some of the classical stuff Yngwie's done. Search for "Prelude To April" or "Blitzkrieg" A lot of people think he's all about speed, but he's a phenomenal composer.
Of course, if Randy were alive today, he'd be lightyears beyond Yngwie. He was planning on leaving Ozzy to get his degree in classical music, but he died before he got the chance.
this remaster shite is pig shit , sucks is weak and its just so they dont have to pay royalties to the orig bass and drum , but they wont change the guitar hh?? FUCK SHARON CUNT ASS UGLY BITCH WHORE FAT HOPE U DIE BITCH , U CANT CHANGE OZZY , AND I THINK BLIZZARD DIARY AND SPEAK WAS THE BEST ANYWAY
no i'm confused, i guess i always assumed it was aldridge, no i hear there are two versions and now that i think about it does sound different sometimes??? i just figured it was the equipment i was using, i'd thought i'd know this being this album is the first i ever bought when i was 11 and think its the best album ever or atleast top 5...
Listen to the marching part on this version (2:30). Mike has no finesse like Lee did. Very robotic. I am hoping Mike redid the drums this crappy on purpose.
On the original release of the album the guys were Ozzy (Vocals) Randy (Guitars) Bob Daisley (Bass) and Lee Kerslake (Drums)
On the Diary of a Madman Tour it was Ozzy (Vocals) Randy (Guitar) Rudy Sarzo (Bass) Tommy Aldridge (Drums)
But on the current re-releases of this album and Blizzard which are the dreaded remasters who have...Ozzy (Vocals) Randy (Guitars) Robert Trujillo (Bass) and Mike Bordin (Drums)
@kalvander Blizzard and Diary have the exact same line-up(well, I'm not 100% sure on the keyboard player). Sharon and Ozzy screwed Lee and Bob in the liner notes of Diary, resulting in a huge lawsuit that lasted a million years. Bob wrote pretty much all the lyrics up til No More Tears. Lemmy did a lot of the lyrics on No More Tears.
ozzy is my favorite singer

@kalvander Blizzard and Diary have the exact same line-up(well, I'm not 100% sure on the keyboard player). Sharon and Ozzy screwed Lee and Bob in the liner notes of Diary, resulting in a huge lawsuit that lasted a million years. Bob wrote pretty much all the lyrics up til No More Tears. Lemmy did a lot of the lyrics on No More Tears.
