Back when your channel was smaller and you released your reaction to Duality was when I DM’d you, I asked for advice on how to deal with something I was going through and tbh you’re a thoughtful dude. I’ve since taken your words and applied them to my life and I have been happier. Thank you 🤘 I have been and will be part of the Hefnerd family for a longgg time

The Guitar solo ? Chills ? Goosebumps ? That's why metalheads are metalheads, my friend !

These Randy Rhoads riffs man ...

Amazing how relevant those lyrics are on 2019. Despite being written over 30 years aggo

When I was a kid I loved Ozzy and my dad hated him, he claimed he was a devil worshiper. I would say, dad you think a devil worshiper would sing about love? It would just piss him off, hahahaha. Now I'm nearly 50 years old and I'm taking my 17yr old son to an Ozzy concert in a few months.

Randy Rhodes was king on the axe

You just heard one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Randy Rhodes. He is very sadly no longer with us. He was on two of Ozzy's albums Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman which are both phenomenal. Ozzy is god of metal.

LOVE the look on your face when Randy's guitar solo kicked in. I had that same look the first time I heard it... 36 years ago.

Ozzy has three of the greatest lead guitarists to have ever lived in his band. They are Zak Wylde, Jake E. Lee, and of course “The King” Randy Roads.

OZZY OSBOURNE - "Mr. Crowley" Live 1981

The 11th Commandment...Thou shall not use the names Trick Daddy and Ozzy Osbourne in the same sentence

Randy Rhoads is the definition of Guitar God/ Virtuoso. He was a classically trained God before he was a teenager. At age 14 he formed the heavy metal band Quiet Riot. Only to lose his life to a coked out pilot who wanted to do tricks in a plane. Ozzy Osborne to this day cries when he hears Randy's guitar. Watch Ozzy and Jack's road trip. They listen to the original recordings and it's heartbreaking. Love your channel ❤️

randy rhodes was one of the best guitarists in the world....even eddie van halen said he would not want to be in a competition against him..

"It was at 6:05 into this video that our protagonist's life would be forever altered. For you see, this was the moment young Alex was Randy Rhodes-ed for the first time."

It’s happened man. The head banging has started. It’s infectious and will never stop.

HOW HAVE YOU NOT HEARD CRAZY TRAIN BEFORE?

Not a massive fan of Ozzy’s solo stuff, but Crazy Train blew my mind when I first heard it, utter class

Randy Rhoads.... what a legend.. RIP 🎸

“ i can’t stop moving my head, someone help” I lost when he said that. Alex your channel is great and people definitely subscribe.

RIP Randy, he brought a new face to guitar solos. TY for checking this out

That face when Randy plays the solo, priceless. RIP RANDY RHOADS.

Mr Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne That solo is probably the best solo ever written

Who the heck hasn’t heard crazy train? I hear it literally everywhere! Yes I’m a metalhead but i hear it in like public places sometimes.

Not just Ozzy. Randy Rhoads was one of the best Guitarist ever. These guys as a whole were just an amazing band that only lasted 2 albums but there is not a bad song on them albums.

Alex Hefner Just a bit of info: That "Bad Ass Solo" was Randy Rhoads who was considered along side Eddie Van Halen as the ones who changed the way guitars were played in the 80's, i believe he was going to study classical guitar later on as well. Sadly those plans disappeared when one morning two band members and Randy with a pilot went for a joy ride in a small plane. They wanted to scare people in the trailers still sleeping, however the wing apparently clipped a trailers roof and they crash in a ball of flames. Ozzy and the team were understandably in shock, Ozzy and Randy were very close in the band and was said to potentially be the last time Ozzy would preform or produce music. He went on a major drug and sexual rampage, when he had finished it was still undecided whether he would continue, but with alot of care from Sharon and i think counseling, is why we still see Ozzy preforming today.

One of the coolest guitar solos ever. Randy was a beast! I hope you do more Ozzy. You will like "Mr Crowley"

Ozzy has worked with an endless parade of amazing guitarists.

Randy was just on another level, even if you've never heard the song or of his reputation or even listen to this style of music normally, the average person can still pick up on the fact that something special is going on when Randy plays.

Great song, Great Channel! Opeth - The Moor EPICA - Consign To Oblivion - Live at the Zenith

That lyric video killed me with the typos

randy rhoads was a brilliant guitar player and composer. the riffs and the solo in this song are timeless

One of the few channels where I feel like the reactions are genuine and not fabricated to the point of just overreaction. I wish I discovered this channel sooner and I hope you continue to grow.

Rest in Metal Randy Rhoads. Sad ending to a badass musician 🤘🏼🤘🏼

Mr Crowley next!!!

I'm a grandmother to 6 and lived and breathed these songs when I was younger, (still do). But am sitting here laughing at your head going and your excitement...(whilst crocheting dolls clothes for granddaughter)... Of course as an "older" person, I am shocked at your use of naughty words during your reaction.... bad lad!!! TBH I used to use them when I was young and didn't have to worry about who was listening... I'm going to have to watch more of your reactions to metal and various groups... but maybe I'll have to wear headphones so innocent little ears don't hear anything they shouldn't....... ;)

Could you imagine how randys solos would be now if he was still alive.

Pantera - Cowboys From Hell 🔥

Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell

Thanks so much for doing this one . One of my first Metal songs I ever heard . I'm looking forward to watching this .

I’ve heard this song a million times but that solo never gets old👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Rainbow - Stargazer

Saw Ozzy Osbourne a few weeks in Germany and you can't imagine the feelings when all people sing this song together :P

Haha! The look of shear delight on your face several times just made my day! Thank you for reintroducing me to this song...always loved it but hadn’t really listened in years! Thank you!

I'm 55 born 1964 , Ozzy was one of my favorites growing up, crazy times back then, sex drugs and rock and roll, hell ya Ozzy

I'm proud to belong to the 20% who subscribed

Whoever typed up the lyrics for this video has apparently never heard of spellcheck.

The reason I love metal and rock is because they will call out everybody., including the ones other genres of artists are too scared to. The media and politicians won't come after the hardcore rock and metal genres anymore other than claiming Satanic messages every now and then., because they got their asses handed to them in the 80's and 90's for making things up. Ozzy and many other artists are using this genre to wake people up. This is one of my absolute FAVORITE songs ever. The lead guitar is just....*muah*

Dude! Love your reaction vid thanks for taking the time. Have a dope ass day 😎

I thank Ozzy for being part of the reason I got into heavier music. My dad would play Blizzard of Ozz every day when I was a kid and I fell in love.

Megadeth - Tornado of souls

Randy was the most effortless guitarist. Great tone, fantastic rhythm chops, and lead work from another dimension. We miss him. RIP.

When I was young my step dad at that time was obsessed with Ozzy. He would play his records non stop. Such a childhood precious memory

dude im 48 and am sooo glad that the younger generation can still appreciate this era of music this is what i grew up on and still listen to today keep up the good work metal for life \m/ and send me a shirt :)

You should watch Metal: A headbangers journey It dives into the history and roots of the genre and sheds light onto some misconceptions of the metal community

This song launched Ozzy's solo career into the stratosphere! Thanks Randy for the killer riffs! R.I.P.

You must hear Diary of a madman by Ozzy Osbourne

6:04 how did you not spit out your coffee hearing that solo drop for the first time?? 😂

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heavenPink Floyd - Comfortably numb

6:04 I love his reaction to the Guitar Solo.

You know, I’ve heard all these great songs hundreds of times so I don’t get the chills anymore, but seeing others react for the first time makes me also gets the chills again. Oh wait, my window is open.

please PLEASE REACT to 1981 MR. CROWLEY by Ozzy Osbourne!!!! TWO killer solos and the quality of the performance and sounds in an LIFE MOVING EXPERINCE I PROMISE

No way in hell you’ve never heard Crazy Train in your life . I refuse to believe it

Your appreciation of one of my favourite Ozzy songs won me over, loved your reaction here!

Thank you so much for introducing me to that remix of Crazy Train by Trick Daddy. I've never heard of it before, and now that I heard it, I'm loving it, so thanks so much for that😎. YOU ROCK!🤘

Rush - Tom Sawyer.

React to Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley

Thank you so much for enjoying the music I grew up on, look at the movies the commercials of today. The 80s music will never die! Thank you. I'm a subscriber for life!!

Get chills everytime I hear any of his solos, you should check out "Dee" wrote it for his mother, also "band jamm" that was just him messing around so nasty

Trivium krisute gomen Randy roads R.I.P he is a beast.

Led Zeppelin- stairway to heaven

Can we all agree that you need to be at 1 million subscribers by the end of the year because you absolutely deserve it love your content keep up the great work

I subscribed about 2 weeks ago! The best decision I made. These reactions make my day. Keep up the great work I love it!!!

Great song, but you need to listen to the Ozzy masterpiece that is "Mr. Crowley". Creepy synth intro, combined with Ozzy's phenomenal lyrics and vocals, and not one but TWO shredding Randy Rhoads solos make this one of the best songs I've ever heard. Give it a listen and hope you enjoy it!

Rammstein - Amerika! You'll not regret it!! Powerful lyrics

Your reaction moved me. I subscribed and hit the bell. God bless you brother.

The opening to this song gives me goosebumps every time.

Check out Mr. Crowley by Ozzy!

For more Ozzy, How about Mr Crowley or No More Tears.

There aren’t many things in this world I’m passionate about but music and metal specifically is one of them. It genuinely puts a smile on my face seeing your reactions to insane riffs and solos like the ones in this song. Welcome to the family of metal heads my dude and please please please keep up the reactions man. It makes me happy seeing how happy it makes you ❤️

Oh my God love this always love izzy. Just recieved news my brother passing away Very sad but I new what I needed was some Alex. You are great. Made me smile. Love you

Woah, what happened to Stargazer??!!

Motörhead - ace of spades

Dude I've been listening to this song for... 25 years maybe? And I know it was at least 5 years before I stopped and said hold up this song is SAYING something. Watching you have that same moment was just wonderful for me. Great vid and cool idea for a channel. I dig what you're doing here And it's a good reminder that good music is good music. Genre isn't as important as quality. Props my man. Good on ya.

Great vid! This song came out in 1981 when I was in 10th grade… Randi Rhodes changed my life I became a metalhead and played in bands throughout the 80s and early 90s fun times! What’s weird is that this stuff was huge in the 80s I mean football stadium huge! This was Popular music in the 80s! Especially in the suburbs of Detroit Michigan rock city! Probably part of the reason for his eventual downfall as when record companies become too involved they ruin everything… Great to see you picking up on the same things we picked up in the day

Not gonna lie here, it amazes me how some of the stuff I have seen you review you have never heard before but as you have said... "better late than never". There is soooo much more though... keep it up, you have some amazing music in your future.

Alex u r not alone! Randy's solos r incredible!!! RIP randy :(

Did you know that Randy Rhodes study classical guitar and pinatonics which helped created the opening riff to Crazy Train to emulate the feel and power of a locomotive baring down the tracks. If you like this you should listen to " Dee " . A tribute that Randy wrote fir his mother

Couldn't wait for this one. I just wanted to see your expression to Randy Rhoads and right at the beginning of the lead.....there it was!!!! Never again will there be another Randy Rhoads. And it's hard to believe it's been since 1982 since he passed away. I still mourn for him and wish I had more of his music.

Now that you’ve been introduced to one of the best guitarists ever (Randy Rhoads RIP), you should take a look at his successor, Zakk Wylde. Here’s a great starting point for that: Black Label Society - ‘Stillborn’

The meaning of this song still very relevant today. The masses are still sleeping. Ozzy is one of the best.

I love your guys reactions, as well as the songs that are played. Some of the groups and songs played bring back so many memories.

I love your reaction videos. You make me smile, and I can tell that you are a thinker. Thank you. Subscribed!!!!!

The best part of your videos, is your reaction! It was awesome the look of pure excitement when you were pointing out your goose bumps. Awesome! Keep up the good work!

Mr.Crowley - Ozzy Osbourne.. C:

Bro, LOVE seeing your reactions to some of these TIMELESS classic tunes you select! It gives me tons of satisfaction seeing someone 20+ years younger than be appreciate THE MUSIC! Keep up the good work. You’ve just earned another subscriber. On a side note...you should do a reaction to Tool. I recommend 46 & 2 or Schism (DOPE videos as well).

Hahaha I was waiting for the intro "all aboard" reaction and it was golden

This is very right , that this video pop up just last night because today my uncle passed away due alcoholism and liver failure and this was his favorite song .

I've always loved Crazy Train. The riffs Randy Rhodes plays when he sings the chorus is....crazy. You'd never think Ozzy could write but he can. Whenever I hear a rap band samples an iconic song it always breaks my heart. When I heard vanilla ice sample Pressure from David Bowie it hurt and now you told me another rapper sampled Crazy Train. It just seems wrong, taking a great song and watering it down when you sample it. That's just my opinion, obviously millions of people love these songs.

Alex! Love love LOVE how your eyes light up when listening to this music! I'm 54 years old and lived this! You ROCK!!!!

I've listened to more times than I can count and each time I head this solo I get goosebumps
