Ozzy Osbourne - Over The Mountain (with original bass and drum parts)

IMPORTANT! READ:
In 1980, Ozzy released his first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz. Then in 1981, he released his second, Diary Of A Madman. His band for these two albums consisted of himself on vocals, Randy Rhoads on guitar, Bob Daisley on Bass, and Lee Kerslake on drums. In 1995, these were remastered on CD for the first time, untampered with. Then in 2002, they were released again, only with rerecorded bass and drum parts for some type of legal reason by two totally different musicians. The 2002 versions ruined the original albums and unfortunatly, is the only versions really sold in stores today. So chances are if you own these CDs and bought them recently, you have the crap rerecorded bass and drum versions of these classic albums. The new musicians just couldn't hold up to the skill, slickness and nostalgia that Bob Daisley and Lee Kershlake had. The rerecording makes the albums seem quite awkward and is all around just bad.

If you're looking to buy these classic albums on CD, track down the 1995 version, the one you are hearing right now, you can distinctly recognize it if you see it in stores or online because the original cover in shrunken down and OZZY written very largely down the right side, as seen in the picture. If the cover of the CD is just the original cover, then its the 2002 version. (Most will also have a label telling you the bass and drums have been rerecorded). But trust me, it sounds awful.

These are two of the greatest heavy metal albums of all time..period...in their original state. Be careful, Ozzy's third classic classic has been totally remixed and sounds God awful. So if you're buying Ozzy's BLIZZARD OF OZZ, DIARY OF A MADMAN, or BARK AT THE MOON, buy the 1995 releases, not the 2002 ones. Remember, cover shrunken down in the middle and OZZY written really big on the right side.

@paulod96 you sound like if you really saw it.

[paulod96]

@bengativo6 Yes, Ozzy did punch Randy! Randy had told Ozzy that that he was embarrassed to be in the band (because of the wierd stuff Ozzy was doing during diary of a madman) and that he wanted to go and teach guitar. Ozzy (still drunk from the night before) sucker punched Randy and started saying stuff like "You ungrateful little shit" and stuff like that!

Killer fucking solo.

@bengativo6 Randy had told Kelli Garni it had happened. Ozzy also punched Rudy Sarzo. Guitar world ey? lol Was it from an interview with Ozzy? He's known to tell the truth right?

[bengativo6]

@JonHawaii2003 o well you tell that to the guitar world ..ozzy osbourne 2004 special edition..and now i have a question for you.where did you get the facts that ozzy punched randy?.i dont know where you got your facts .but they are wrong too.

[JonHawaii2003]

@bengativo6 Your post if crap. Randy loved Bob. Ozzy punched Randy when they were on tour. How much did Ozzy love Randy? Not much I'd say. You can erase their playing but you can take away the fact that Bob wrote some great tunes with Randy and Lee contribute a lot too. I don't know where you got your facts but they are wrong.

@coreykoepsel What they deserve is to admit the truth. And the truth is that heavy metal had its forebearers playing in America long before Sabbath. Cream, BLUE CHEER, Hendrix and The Experience, The MC5, Steppenwolf... those guys came LONG before Sabbath, man! o.O Scoff if they will but that shit is why I think they fucked with little Randy Rhoads. Petty ass fuckin' jealousy, dude. They never did shit when Lemmy was around. Hmm, I fuckin' wonder why! Cowardly pos.

@mrdeersniper According to Bob Daisley, the keyboardist on Diary was a guy named Johnny Cook. Airey appears on Blizzard but was unavailable for Diary.
