  • Brilliant fucking song!

  • In early 80s, I had DIARY OF A MADMAN,SCREAMING FOR VENGEANCE,KROKUS HEADHUNTERMAIDEN NUMBER OF THE BEAST SABBATH MOB RULES and Motley Crue Too Fast for Love & shout at the devil .. in my tape case and valued them like Gold

  • @97warlock ___Nice Collection!

  • Have you guys heard the 30th anniversary editions? Original drum and bass tracks restored. About time you finally came to your senses Ozzy.

  • Rudy does that move where he licks his finger and taps the bass from the outside which is kinda cool.

  • I had to learn most of the bass lines when the album releasd, so i didn't bother to even look at the album arrangments. very impressive. Dasiley just moved up many notches in my book!!!. i love the lyrics on that whole album, i haven't played that lp since the late 80's.. gonna pull it out now. that's outstanding stuff about Bob Daisily. thanls for that info. can't wait to read that book.

  • Bob Dasiley recorded it but rudy sarzo played live and played very well. i wonder what happened between ozzy and bob Dasiley for him not to credit him on the album?

  • @fishfan67 Daisley got songwriting credits on this album but not performance credits. Bob also wrote all the lyrics on the first two albums and every Ozzy album in the 80's. Bob is writing a book that will be out next year, it will have all the TRUE details in it.

  • @fishfan67 I think it was shame that Sarzo and Aldrich got their photos on the Diary album. Sure, they are accomplished musicians but it wasn't their songs. The whole thing was a mess.....and a great album!

  • @DickLodge68 I agree.. id live to know the true reason on why that happened.

  • @fishfan67 Bad spelling on my part - Tommy Aldridge. Musta been thinking Doug Aldrich - that guy is fantastic!

    Anyway, check out "Diary of a Madman" on Wikipedia. I think that's a pretty good idea of what happened. Greed is what happened. I think it's a shame. Years ago I signed up for Daisley's class action suit. I think I pissed off his lawyers but he's a pretty neat guy and he deserves his due.

  • @DickLodge68 Dick iv'e seen them live in the early 80's many of times and boy was i fooled even though Sarzo and Aldeidge are both fantastic. but you fave to give props to where it's due. and if Dailey wrote and played on the album then his picture should have been on the cover if he wanted, that's crazy the dude even wrote the songs? incredible!

  • @fishfan67 If I remember correctly, back then The copywrite issue wasnt much of an issue like it is today. And I would imagine Ozzy was thinking "This is my band-Now" ,thats why I think it went down how it did. but I could be wrong.

  • Rudy Sarzo is such a freat bass player that doesn't receive the credit that he deserves. i saw him live with ozzy and randy two times and trust me ozzy couldn't have found a better bass player or guiitar player.

  • @fishfan67

    Bob Dasiley played bass on this album....Rudy was credited for it in '81 tho.....

  • @blizzarddiaryozzy I like Rudy better than Bob Dasliey or anyone else really. ..../agree B .. Sarzo was great and I also saw this lineup. One of the best shows I have ever been to. (Speak of the Devil) One of my all time favorite Metal albums.

    D~

  • @blizzarddiaryozzy thank god somebody who knows-everybody says it was sarzo-he did tour on it though

  • @fishfan67 I have to LOL at that.

  • @fishfan67 oh yes bud

  • roads kept the mystery in guitar playing

  • Thanks for letting everyone know about the CD's. I hope Bob and Lee are getting the royalties from these....i had just graduated high school when these came out and i was instantly hooked...that was a great time cause Black Sabbath had Heaven and Hell out too...Just awesome music

  • I heard that Randy Rhoads made some vocals for this song, he sings at 2:00, barely can hear his voice. GREAT!!

  • @cellu84 i cant hear it

  • @guitarcoverguy13 pay attention to the album version it has better quality, he sings this part: Looking through eyes of time mirrors reflecting their stories untrue Promises promises, telling me all of my glories overdue.

    How many times have I heard it before

    And I'll probably hear it again

    King of a thousand knights, pawn in a table fight

    Losing to you.

    And they don't really know even what they're talkin' about

    And I can't imagine what empty heads can achieve.

  • @cellu84 haha my mistake it's on you can't kill rock and roll

  • i got all of these, ozzy just kicks ass

  • This may be the best work on a song that Randy ever did. This should be his signature song.

    Sam

    Check out BREAK ME on our site.

  • hell yes!

  • If you want to hear amazing prog rock from the 70's, check out "Magician's Birthday", by Uriah Heep. Lee Kerslake was the drummer for UH prior to playing with Ozzy. Great example of old school master drumming!

  • hahaha i would gladly kill them to get that chance but id choose chuck schuldiner over kurt cobain but thats just my style, as long as we get randy and dimebag back ill be happy

  • Sail Across The Ocean... LOVE IT!

  • @NiggerButcher99 what's the problem with you??

  • rolling stones sympathy for the devil bet you've guessed my name is cletis'F'n ray evans

  • old mcdonald had a farm and on that farm he had rubberducky(burt and ernie) with a quack quack here a quack quack there(lawyers and psychologists)quack quack quack quack quack everywhere old mcdonald had a farm e.i.e.i.o.and on that farm he had a dog e.i.e.i.o.

  • ozzy high,so am I,because were both tripin on @c1d(lyrics in a hidden message)iron madien flight of icarus smoke a bowl and never grow old never thought i'd see the day paranoid by black sabbath rainbow cold as ice and ozzy's steal away the night thought by now you'd know who i am ship of fools motley crue children of the beast

  • paranoid,black sabbath,back in black by acdc,why'd you burn?what you've earned?chip'ohoy failing is'nt exactly my cup of sh#t said backwards subliminaly,i met ozzy backstage before a show

  • r u allright?piece of mind is a song by iron madien judus priest hell bent for leather f#ck with the best die like the rest, mary had a little lamb,little lamb,little lamb mary had a little lamb and it's fleece was white as snow,sorry this song sounds so cliche now row row row your boat gently down the stream merrily merrily life is such a bore,echoing subliminal lyrics before and after a subliminal thought.immigrant song led zepplin ziggy stardust and the spyders from mars major tom

  • I love you, Ozzy.

  • For some obscure reasons, I find this song better than all the killer songs like crazy train - Mr Crowly - I don't know - Bark at the moon!! but Diary of a madman is still 1st =)

  • I have the LP's :-)

  • "...originally that song was called "Strange Voyage", they changed the name to "S.A.T.O." and all that meant was Sharon Adrian Thelma Ozzy. Because Sharon at the time had a boyfriend called Adrian, and Ozzy's current wife at the time was Thelma. People were trying to figure out, 'Oh, it stands for Sail Across the Ocean' and all sorts of things, but it just meant that."

  • @sme4969 Hmmm, I always heard SATO meant "Sailing across the Ocean", which makes more sense than Sharon (f*cking bitch), Adrian, Thelme, and Louise...I mean Ozzy.Sorry piece of shit Ozzy is - just my thoughts, rest in silent slumber Randy!

  • @DickLodge68 , i just read your reply to my post and your reply to quantum494 post, 1 question mate if you think what you do about ozzy ? WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU EVEN WATCHING/LISTENING/READING/REP­LY AND ON THIS VIDEO ???? the title says OZZY OSBOURNE ;) I THINK YOU GOT THE APPROPRIATE NAME YOU (DICK) , just listen to the music and shut the fuck up ;) ;) and another thing i won't be replying to your reply to this ;) as your not worth losing sleep over ;)

  • @sme4969 Don't call me mate....you got my name right - Dick....polish it! You don't need to reply because obviously Ozzy can do no wrong by you. He screwed his former "mates" and laughed while running to the bank. That doesn't mean anything to you, "mate"...err, I meant you piece of crap!

  • @DickLodge68 I've heard it ment Satan and the Oz

  • Ozzy's most underrated song.

    A personal favourite.

  • randy, my favorite guitaarist of all time :O

  • why does Jake E Lee NEVER get mentioned. he was pretty damn good too!!

    signed,

    Not Jake E. Lee's Mom

  • @quantum494 lmao. cause he disappeared for so long of his own free will... it was kinda strange actually... that he presented us with another version of amazing guitar playing, then just choose to take the backlight...

  • @quantum494 First up Jake E. Lee didn't write songs like Randy did with Ozzy. I don't think anyone can question Jake's playing and ability. But I doubt Jake had the ability to write Diary of a Madman....and there is the difference. Everyone looks at Ozzy like some God....and expects everything from the guitarist. The cold hard fact that no one wants to admit is that Ozzy sucks as a song-writer/singer and Rhoads created the best songs Ozzy ever even dreamed of.

  • oh hell yeah this song kicks ass.

  • The breaks at 1:46 and 2:41 always killed me. Just knock your ears clean off.

  • S.A.T.O. means Sail Across The Ocean...not Satan And The Orchids as has been rumored.

  • @dig6dog I never said Randy is a powerchord douch. Actually he's one of my favourite guitarists. What I said was "doesn't Randy Rhoads use power chords too?"... Mr Crowley, I Don't Know, S.A.T.O, Little Dolls, Suicide Solution, all these songs have power chords.

  • @Drumkitupyourass SATO has more than power chords, since he plays the open E an B through the "P.C's".

  • Hands down my absolute favorite Randy Rhoads solo. Totally sick! The "one-note screams" are so bad-ass. The whole solo KILLS but 2:29-2:41has, since 1981, blown my fucking mind and always will!

  • @monsta64 I concur councilor... this has always been my favorite too... especially the adrenalized on steoids Chuck Berry lick at 2:29...I lost my mind when I heard it the 1st time and haven't located it since... but then... the segue into my theme song....Diary... one is not near as potent without the other.... chills.....

  • perfection

  • The 2002 version makes Ozzy's voice really annoying.

  • this song fucking owns

  • 'Slickness' - You said it dude, THAT'S the difference between the originals and the 2002 and what's missing from nearly all new music, for that matter... :(

  • AFTER 30 YEARS, somehow, still my favourite ozzy/randy track, and one of the most exciting riffs randy made.... S.A.T.O!!!!

  • diary of a madman...best song ever wrote...every..by anyone...it has everything...we miss you Randy...

  • my all time best song.hidden treasure.

  • Best song Ozzy ever made.

  • Randy was simply the best. Such a shame that he hooked up with that loser Ozzy and his stupid wife. If only Ozzy and Sharon where in the plane!

  • I assume that you say this without realizing that if it weren't for Sharon and Ozzy discovering him and plucking him from obscurity, it's possible that no one would have ever heard of randy.

  • @squawk56 The man responsible for Randy meeting Ozzy was Dana Strum. Rumor has it that Ozzy wasn't even interested.

  • used to crank this when i was doing factory work

  • Lets make a deal with god

    we give him the jonas brothers an he give us Randy, Kurt Cobain and Dimebag

  • @ivankiller57

    It is widely known that God has a No-Negotiation Policy.

    Besides heaven's like the first-world nations, you just can't litter there and get away with it...

  • @ivankiller57 dont forget lady gaga. Then we can get more guitar gods back.

  • @ivankiller57 No, Satan can keep Cobain. He is responsible for fucking up rock music. 

  • @pinkypimpalicous i shud smack u

  • @Fdgod985 why? because Cobain sucks? Because his lame power chord joke of a band is responsible for fucking up rock music? I am glad he blew his brains out, he should have done it before he got famous.

  • @pinkypimpalicous ur a fucking faggot he didnt ruin rock music yes his music is simple but it opened the door for so much more music u fucking retarded prick its fuck heads like u that kill music

  • @Fdgod985 first off I aint no faggot, I get more pussy than your dyke ass sister. and second, Cobain and talent-less pussies like him and his power chord cant-sing-for-shit so called "musicians" fucked music up, it lacks talent and originality and now we got annoying bands like Blink 182, Bush and Green Day, just to name a few that I hate who have NO TALENT, the dickheads people like you praise. You have no respect for musical talent, what so ever.

  • @pinkypimpalicous yes u r a faggot and so much for sticking up for rock ur name is PINKY(GAY)pimpalicous(RAP+GAY) so ur gay yes u get more ass then my sister SHES 13 dumbass and btw u cant call any1 tallentless when U HAVE NO TALENT btw Blink-182 and greenday kickass(greenday not so lately) and blink-182 drummer travis barker is 1 of the best drummers today BY FAR only comparisons are Joey Jordsin and Niel Pert

  • @Fdgod985 you really should learn to stop talking. Every time you open your mouth, you make yourself look even dumber. Pinky ( Next Friday/Friday After Next....you stupid fuck) and pimpalicious, something you will never be. I have no talent? Ok how many times have you heard me playing guitar? Thats right, you stupid fuck, NONE. Keep spewing your ignorance, you are only making yourself look dumber each time. Pretty soon, you will be required to wear a helmet at all times.

  • @pinkypimpalicous if u play guitar then upload a video ok bitch and btw pinky (from Friday)is a boss ur not and u look like a rapist not a pimp bitch

  • @Fdgod985 I have dropped jaws with my guitar skills. I can play circles around Cobain if his brains werent all over the floor. I actually know chords and how to play a fucking guitar, I dont strum power chords and scream in a terrible voice. And Pinky is a playa, douche bag. Just like me. Want me to prove it? Gimme ur address. One day you will come home and I will be fuckin your mom on your bed.

  • @pinkypimpalicous ok fag post a video and ill believe it btw ur far from a playa bitch u probably fuck ur own mom bc ur dad asked u to

  • @Fdgod985 your only defense is accusing me of being gay. you know what they say about those that accuse others of being gay. Uh huh....FLAMER! And how would you supposedly know so much about me? Your whole train of thought is about as intelligent as a first grade dropout. And I aint posting any videos because you will overlook my skills and say something stupid like I have gay shoes. So please stop wasting my time & go back to taking picture of kids at the playground.

  • @pinkypimpalicous i wudnt care about shoes WTF and u just have no skill.

    taking pictures of kids at the playground???? thats ur job im 15 i got homework to do and chicks to screw so fuck off flamer

  • @Fdgod985 LOL oh you're fifteen? Look dipshit, I been playing guitar longer than you been around on this earth. So go finish your homework, eat your vitamins, say your prayers and maybe SOME DAY you will be at my level. Until then, you are strictly a wannabe.

  • @pinkypimpalicous keep talkin that u play im probably bttr then u and i suck but idc bc i do other shit

    vitamins??prayers?? wtf am i jewish or sumthin damn ur level ur below me faggot

  • @Fdgod985 keep up with your homosexual accusations. Its only making your own sexuality look more and more questionable. You been to any parades lately, chi chi man?

  • @pinkypimpalicous

    parades????? chichiman WTF????? idk wat that is bc i called u a faggot i look gay umm WHERE R U FROM broski bc u fucked up

  • @Fdgod985 oh no...I am being threatened by a 15 year old closet homosexual. I'd better hide. Oh no...scary. *yawn*

  • @pinkypimpalicous you guys are a couple of fucking retards..

  • @Shenanigasm  Thanks.

  • @pinkypimpalicous i begining to think that the whole lot of you is gay.. talk about women instead

  • @gregsmusic1 mmmm vagina is awesome. I wish I could live in one, thats how awesome vagina is. Vagina is almost as awesome as Randy Rhoads' guitar skills. Totally non-gay comment.

  • @pinkypimpalicous

    Who are you to judge Kurt Cobain and Blink 182? Do you really play guitar? Then tell me, doesn't Randy Rhoads use power chords too?

    Faggot.

  • @Drumkitupyourass Yes, I have been playing guitar for 18 years. And though yes every guitarist uses power chords, not all of them rely on strumming power chord after power chord while your singer pretends he can sing. And whats with this faggot shit? Cant anyone come up with a better insult than pointing a finger and calling someone a homosexual? Here's an original one....POOPYHEAD!

  • @ivankiller57 tell that to

    pinkypimpalicous he thinks kurt cobian killed rock music and hes glad he blew his own brains out

  • @ivankiller57 Sounds good to me! :>)

  • @ivankiller57

    Better yet, let's add Steve Clark, Robin Crosby and Bon Scott to the list (even though I love Vivian, Carlos and Brian).

  • @ivankiller57 Substitute Chuck Schuldiner for Kurt and you got a deal. Kurt did himself in, he is where he should be and wanted to be. Randy, Dime, and Chuck had no choice in the matter.

  • @ivankiller57 Fuck Cobain. Give Jason Becker back.

  • @ivankiller57 let him keep Cobain... give us Randy, Dimebag and Cliff

  • @ivankiller57 And Hanna Montana for Ronnie James Dio

  • @ivankiller57 Why Cobain? Cobain killed himself because he wanted to die, he didnt get shot or died in a crash

  • @PerpetualLifecycle he was in misery. his stomach was agony

    Sam

  • @samfrompasingtime No, Kurt Cobain killed himself because he was treated shit all his life and his mom forced drugs upon him as a kid, in the end everything that mattered was Nirvana and he kept a vow that he'd kill himself if they split up, when they did... he offed himself. But i feel that Randy and Dimebag died unfair deaths and most importantly UNWILLINGLY, and in this situation they are the true heroes.

  • @PerpetualLifecycle I don't argue that all of that is true (and that Randy could play the Nirvanna catalog in his sleep is beyond debate), but if you also listen to PENNY ROYAL TEA and what not, it mentions the pain and diet that he was forced to be on that he hated. The smack didn't help.

    Certainly the greater loss on any level was Randy, but Kurt sometimes gets a bad rap.

    Sam

  • Comment removed

  • @ivankiller57 Minus Kurt, throw in Dio and its all good

  • @ivankiller57 Nah, Kurt Cobain can stay.

  • @ivankiller57 gotta throw in justin beeeber too so we got another pick

  • @theguyfromavonlake How about we get Cliff Burton. Then all will be well in the universe.

  • @ivankiller57 He is God, not an idiot. LMFAO.

    Sam

    Please listen to BREAK ME on our site.

  • @ivankiller57 And Cliff Burton. \m/ \m/

  • best ozzy track

  • Don Airey plays very awesome keys on both, please dont forget.

    That band was a Sharon Arden masterpiece. With her new label Jet records and Ozzy by her side, with the enormity of talent, how could she go wrong?

  • Satan's name is Randy...

  • @p0rkjell0 Nope...

  • the riffs flow like liquid mixed with thunder & lightning and the solo's are like a symphony of explosive super-charged fireworks, this shit is the balls and you will never hear another guitarist come close to what this young man did in his short time.

    ALL HAIL THE KING OF GUITAR GODS!!!!!!!!!

  • brilliant tune 28 yrold n love it

  • Rip Randy Rhoads

  • Just listened to the 'other' version for the first time and wow.....all I can say is wow. I don't think that Sharon found another drummer and bassist to play the new tracks, I think that Sharon played bass and drums for all the tracks on the album. Ozzy's vocals were remixed, again awfully, as well.

  • Guys, i read a flyer that was included in Scream. It said Ozzy will re-release Blizzard of Ozz, and Diary of a Madman as 30th anniversary deluxe edition albums, "restored to their original performaces". Get ready everybody!

  • @killthedead23 when??? where??

  • i'm lucky i actually have the cassette that i bought in 1985 still sounds great, and the difference in the playing is distinct

  • I grew up with this version and had never heard the new version until a few minutes ago...... it sucked. This is way better.

  • @umrebfan374 wow I too grew up with the vinyl (wore it out) anything different to this sounds "mickey mouse" if you get my drift-

  • sounds way better. The other version has way too loud bass

  • Ozzy was a big part of me growing up and he is now my favorite artist. Lol I'm only 9 though...

  • Fortunately, I found this on vinyl in an antique store.

  • ylea me amis dedas sheveci

  • Just compared this to a more recent one and yeah... the rercorded one is TOTAL shit. I had the originals on cassette when they came out, and thanx for the tip on the new ones.... I'll keep my eyes open for these ones!

  • every time i hear this solo i feel like i'm flying through the clouds.

  • sailing across the ocean which will be what ill be doing 2nite lol.

  • S.A.T.O stands for: Sharon Adrian Thelma Ozzy

  • @wrestlingvids16 No he didn't have kids at the time it stands for Sail Away To Oz.

  • @lmfaoer123

    except that ozzy doesnt havy any kids called adrian or thelma.

    adrian was sharon's boyfriend at the time, and thelma was ozzy's girlfriend

  • @PlusGin Yeah I said the wrong thing but I think it still means Sail Away To Oz becuase it says someting about sip waiting at shore.

  • @wrestlingvids16 i grew up hearing it was Sail Across the Ocean...

  • @wrestlingvids16 wrong...

  • @HeatherHell72 thats what tony iommi said it was about in an interview.. (idk they asked him about that but thats where it was)

  • This was probably my favorite album of them all, used to make the parents mad blasting these songs all hours of the day. . . I think that's how Ozzy and Randy would have had it XD

  • Great song from a great album! I can't believe they messed with the original recordings like that.

  • God I misss you Randy...NO, I ain't gay! he eh

  • A friend got me into this album back in 1981. My life has NEVER been the same since. Ozzy and Randy RULE!!

  • 40 seconds of solo bliss starting at 2.00.

  • grande ozzy.....................music­as mto boas

  • What can one say about Mr. Rhoads? Amazing is just a word.

  • @Octobersun77

    Maybe that in itself is all that needs to be said. Words are too simple to describe him.

  • @Octobersun77 amazing doesn't quite say it, your about 30 miles away from the real term

  • No wonder Ozzy was a madman. These riffs are insane, enough to drive a person to metal mayhem.

  • Fan of bob daisley's work? then check out my page

  • If you listen to the first part of the Diary of a Madman on the remaster with the overdub with the new guys,you will hear the first part of the Randy Rhoads solo was overdubbed with somebody too.

  • Sharon Adrian Thelma Ozzy

  • Sharon Adrian Thelma Ozzy. sharon and adrian were dating, and ozzy and thelma. Research better.

  • It's definately Sharon Arden Thelma Osbourne. You can find several seperate interviews where Ozzy and Sharon both say this. Period.

  • or sail across the ocean

  • It's Sharon Arden Thelma Osbourne.

  • its not sharon. its ozzys first wife...thelma

  • The new "re-recorded" versions of Ozzy's first 2 albums just don't cut it. The true old school Ozzy fans can tell the difference, and we don't like it! Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were bad-ass!

  • BTW this fucking poster rocks,ROCKS!!!!! thx man/girl ? this was alot of work and it rocks.

  • My CD copy is dead to me after hearing this...

  • Man that scale that randy does before the solo and after it has got to be the best of all time

    just amazing

  • the scale is G# phrygian, as you can hear the same run with two extra notes at the end of the solo, and it resolves to E major for a cool little effect

  • S.A.T.O= sailing across the ocean TYRANT told you what it means

  • @SINAFTERSIN666 actualy, it stands for initials from ozzy's friends

  • "Ozzy's friends"? Wouldn't it be "SRATO"? You guys are all on crack. It NOT Ozzy's friends, it's NOT Sailing Across The Ocean... it stands for "Stupid Asswipe, That's Ozzy".

  • believe what you want , i saw this tour 1981
