How much more proof does anyone need that Randy Rhoads was the best metal guitarist ever? I love the part in this video that Ozzy becomes a fan like everyone else 🎸

Every time I listen to Randy Rhoads play guitar I get goosebumps! Great song. So sad he was taken from us so early in his life. R.I.P.

Randy Rhoads, a beautiful human being, the sweetest guy, and oh so young , only 25 when he was accidentally killed in an small aircraft. A very skilled guitarist and music teacher. Ozzy was devastated when Randy passed. They were like brothers RIP Randy🌹

Oh yea 1 of the greatest guitarist ever!!! Gone way to soon. RIP.

I saw this tour in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. When I was 15.

Did you see Ozzy at the end smiling and scratching his head, going, "Holy crap my band is fucking great!"

Randy shredded the guitar on this one, and Ozzy gave him a second solo toward the end, so epic. RIP Randy, your so missed in today's music my brother

If there's a guitar player heaven?.... Randy IS BLOWIN ANGELS HALOS OFF!

Randy’s Mom was a music teacher !! He could play any style !

The whole Diary of a Madman album is killer from start to finish

All-Star lineup with Tommy Aldridge on drums, Rudy Sarzo on bass and of course the late great Randy Rhodes on guitar.

It was never supposed to be a "solo" career. The name of the band was Blizzard of Oz.

Randy was the best guitarist ever. RIP Randy. The music world is not the sane without you! Lita and ozzy on close my eyes is a must! ❤️

His band made his career , theres just no telling what Randy would've done as far as rock if his life hadn't been cut so short 😢

Shout - out to Rudy and Tommy. That rhythm section is amazing!!!

Randy was the greatest guitarist ever, he made Ozzy into a super star .Even better than Sabbath

RIP Rhandy Rhodes . 🎸

even ozzy at the end was thinking what the fuq is going on that guy playing guitar is fu qin awesome what did i unleash !!!!!

Definitely go for the whole Diary album

RR was a freaking musical legend and a beautiful soul he never hid his art instead he opted to teach others

Lita ford and Ozzy Osbourne singing "close my eyes 👀 forever ", is absolutely 💯 kickass

Hey Biz, another great reaction my man!! And it's really awesome to know that someone who is new to listening to these two albums, BLIZZARD OF OZZ and DIARY OF A MADMAN, can appreciate the fact that Ozzy would have never been able to follow up with a solo career if he had never met Randy. And Biz, I wanted to say thank you for keeping Randy's legacy alive. Even though he's been gone since 1982, Randy Rhoads will always be immortalized for his style and truly one of the greatest of all time. And there is a live recording of Suicide Solution with Randy, during this same After Hours Session. Hope you check it out. Appreciate you

Thnx for the Review Biz! I don't think there were too many LIVE videos recorded with Randy because of his death so early on in Ozzy' career, BUT I believe his second album has some of RR best work! 🤘😈

OZZY was never the same after Randy’s death…….he was devastated 🥲 Jake was a welcome addition but he was no Randy Rhode’s 🎸🔥❤️🙏🏻

I saw the Blizzard tour 3 times and the Diary tour once....So I feel very fortunate seeing Randy Rhoads 4 times !!!....Masonic Temple - Detroit May 1981...London Hockey Arena - London Ontario Canada July 1981.......Pine Knob- Clarkson Michigan end of August 1981 ....And Diary- February 1982- Cobo Hall - Detroit !!!...all front row !!!

Listen to Dairy of a Madman The best first three songs of any album. Over the Mountains, Flayong High Again, and You can’t Kill Rock and Rolll.

great song and one of the few with Randy.

GREAT reaction on the first solo, Randy was a god.

Randy was SOOOOO GOOD!

This incarnation of the band waxs phenomenal. When I was in the Navy stationef down in virginia beach I had tickets to see the band. And Randy died about a week or so before the show. They still performed, But they had Brad Gillis from night ranger on guitar. I regret that I never got to see randy live

In Ozzy’s book he wrote that he wasn’t happy with the way the sound was recorded for this video shoot (which had several other songs). He loved the performance the band gave, but it was recorded on VHS and at the wrong speed, the band was actually playing faster.

I was front center stage for one of the last show Randy played on diary of a madman tour before he passed. And there's Rudy over there one noting it....he's no Entwhistle.

I got to see Ozzy with Randy Rhodes in like 84, 20ft away playing this. Randy kept looking at us and smiling when he was jamming. He could tell we were into it. What an awesome experience.

Ozzy looks like a Colts fan!😂

Love Ozzy solo and with Black Sabbath! I think you should do some lives from late 90's era Black Sabbath reunion!

Randy may have been the best ever.

Randy Rhoads - Guitar Legend !!!

Randy Rhodes was the standard back then!!! R.I.P. Randy!!!

Stood watching this concert with a cast on my foot

Randy Rhoads ft. Ozzy Osbourne - Mr Crowley

Diary of a Madman is great with that lineup with Ozzy. Randy will always be the best guitarist to me.

Love Ozzy solo or with Sabbath! You should do some lives from Ozzfest late 90's Sabbath reunion! I suggest War Pigs Ozzfest 99! Its off the chain!

Rudy Sarzo, the bassist and close friend of Randy and former Quiet Riot bandmate, wrote a really good book about this period of time and his experience with Ozzy Osbourne. I really recommend it for fans of Ozzy, Sarzo, or the amazing Randy Rhoades

RR’s solo’s are songs within the song, brilliant..Sorely missed.

If you are going to continue to do Live reactions of Ozzy, He has "live and Loud"(1991 I think) and "Live At The Budokan" (2002?) This was when Zakk Wylde was the guitarist... he idolized Randy and is one of the best guitarists. The differences between Zakk from live and loud and Budokan is hilarious. He was thin, baby faced and fit and then just jacked and bearded lol.

Great take. Keep doing it man

🔥🔥🔥

This was shot for a TV appearance in the fall of 1981 (?) - not an actual concert... It's a rare footage of Randy Rhoads (guitar) just months before he died in 1982 in a plane crash 😪 The band here was different from the one on the albums ('Blizzard of Ozz' and 'Diary of a Madman') which were recorded w/ Bob Daisley (bass) and (the late) Lee Kerslake (drums)... both left in 1981 after a tour, and Ozzy got Rudy Sarzo (bass) who knew Randy Rhoads in his L.A. band Quiet Riot... and Tommy Aldridge (drums) who had played w/ Pat Travers and Black Oak Arkansas. After the tragic death of Randy Rhoads, Ozzy continued touring... eventually recording a concert 'Speak of the devil' in 1982 w/ Brad Gillis of Night Ranger on guitar... Rudy Sarzo left to rejoin Quiet Riot in 1983. He eventually played w/ Whitesnake, Dio, and eventually rejoined the current Quiet Riot recently (both original singer Kevin DuBrow and longtime drummer Frankie Banali have passed away). Tommy Aldridge also played in Whitesnake... he's been a prolific drummer in rock & metal. The keyboardist Don Airey joined Deep Purple in 2003, and had been a member of the band Rainbow. Randy Rhoads was only 24 when he passed away in 1982... he formed the L.A. band Quiet Riot as a teenager in the 70's w/ singer Kevin DuBrow, and they released 2 albums in Japan that sold poorly... Rhoads taught guitar to make ends meet, and he had never heard of Black Sabbath or Ozzy when he was asked to audition for Ozzy's solo band in 1980. Ozzy had been fired from Black Sabbath, and he was drinking and in bad shape at the time... he was passing out drunk during auditions, when he heard this guitar player in the room that woke him right up and got his attention, and it was Randy Rhoads... He told him he got the gig... Randy was surprised because he had barely warmed up! The next day, Ozzy mused that he had dreamed that he had hired this amazing guitar player... and he was told that he had hired a guitarist! Ozzy was rather surprised ("What have I done? I hope he's good...") ... but once he truly heard Randy Rhoads play, he was blown away... The 2 started writing songs right away, and Randy had a unique chemistry w/ Ozzy that he didn't have in Quiet Riot... It took something exceptional to get Ozzy's attention, so when Randy played something that Ozzy liked... he would go, "Yeah, let's work on that." Randy was not a Black Sabbath fan, so he brought his own sound and ideas to Ozzy's solo record... Since Ozzy was not a lyricist, they got bassist Bob Daisley to put lyrics to Ozzy's melodies and ideas... That was how 'Blizzard of Ozz' was written and recorded... but it was rejected by every record company until Epic Records gave Ozzy a shot... The band started doing shows and using what money they got, they wrote and recorded the 2nd album 'Diary of a Madman' soon after in 1980... Randy actually got better on that record... and it sounded even better than the 1st album. Initially, Ozzy was playing clubs and small venues... but as the tabloid stories about him biting doves' heads off and his drunken antics spread, his shows got bigger... his records sold millions in 1981 and he was already playing arenas that year. Ozzy was booked in the summer of '82 to play Madison Square Garden in NYC, and it was a sad moment because Randy Rhoads could not be there to play it.

Ozzy Osbourne, No.more tears Everybody wants to change the world We saw Ozzy in concert, performing both the above. Greats songs and music Zak Wylde on lead guitar for these ones. These are a few years later, after Randy passed away

Heck yeah. One of my top fav songs. Thanks. Enjoy. ❤❤

🌹We love you Randy! Sweet sweet guy... imagine all the great things he would've gone to accomplish if he hadn't been killed on that plane?

🤘I think you would enjoy diary of a madman by Ozzy. 🤘studio version with Randy Rhodes.

Need to check out Diary of a Madman , 2nd album. More Rhoads genius.

❤

Randy Rhoads forever

Do Ozzy's second album, then do some more Black Sabbath.

Terrific live performance. Do Bark at the Moon or Diary of a Madman next

The second album is incredible, definitely get on that. Theres not much live from this era, unless you start isolating tracks from random live bootlegs from then.

Ozzy could put a band together ?

This song is about Aleister Crowley, who claimed to be a prophet.

Randy was the shit!

The second album is better imo

Luv the Amps ?

Duct tape on the keyboards to hold them in place!! Made do and kicked ass!!

If randy would have lived he would have surpassed EVH easly

Randy Rhoads was as good as Eddie Van Halen if not better

Not even Randy best playing an people are still amazed

Such an epic era of Ozzy's career when he had Randy playing guitar.Randy had that Classical background that we hear on this tune especially but he played with such a Bluesy passion.
