absolute monster of a drummer i put him up there with porcaro appice etc those first two albums are slammers but the magic between lee randy and bob is too good they were dumb to ever rerecord over this gold
@@deadshot4245those three had great musical chemistry playing together, but even more with respect to writing music, writing songs, the arrangements, the subtitles that take a good song and make it memorable. I play guitar and bass and those albums have always been an influence on my own music, especially Randy's playing. I was in a band with a drummer who was a big Tommy Aldridge fan, and then I told him that he was listening to a different drummer's ideas and style. He immediately wanted to hear more of THAT guy.
Bob has stated that he plugged into Randy’s 100 watt stack for the recording of his bass for this album. No pedals and no DI used. Seems to have worked 🤘
@@Ontariosound Cool ! I expected it to be something like that actually, im a guitarplayer myself and have been recording my band and miced up bass amps before but with a combination of lined direct sound and with the right mix have gotten a really powerful heavy sound not that far from this example.
It was all Bob Daisley, Randy Rhoads, Lee Kerslake, who wrote all the Lyrics. All the musical parts for Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman, Ozzy would come in a sing the lyrics the way he thought they should be sung and helped out with some of the melodies, it was Ozzy's unique singing voice that really brought the songs out , . But these three were the real geniuses behind the scenes. Great Work by all Three, you can just hear that these men have their craft down to a T
I heard that Bob Daisley wrote the lyrics for the album Diary of a Madman and Bark at the Moon. The lyrics are the best mystic-state lyrics ever, on Diary of a Madman, but Bark at the Moon pales. So I've been puzzling, how can the lyrics of Diary of a Madman be so inspired, while Bark at the Moon pales in comparison? How could the same guy have written the lyrics for both albums? Something seems missing from the story of how Diary of a Madman lyrics were written.
@@eternalism8274 What probably is missing that Ozzie fired him before “diary of a madman” came out … so he’s fired and angry… and all those years went by with Randy dying and Brad Gillis coming in and eventually Jake coming in when they had a different bass player and then Bob re-joined and started becoming an active member of the band again… but I’m sure his mind was always waiting for the next shoe to drop with Ozzie and Sharon - and it eventually did - but his HEART wasn’t in it the same way as it was on the first 2 albums , so, in the meantime he was going to write the songs and collect whatever money he could from them. Plus With all due respect to Jake E Lee, there’s no guitar work on “bark at the moon” except for the title track that come anywhere close to what it must’ve been like for a Bob to work with Randy Rhoads.… I’d be way more inspired too, working with Randy then with the green Jake E Lee of “bark at the moon” time.
@@eternalism8274 Sharron and Ozzy broke his spirit. Slave wages. Bob's not gonna spend 3 days writing a great song lyric when he's being paid less than the lighting guy.
Such a solid band. Just listen to Randy. Total perfection. A true work of art. Like 4 decades later and still as great as the first time I heard it. Such talent.
Bob Daisley has written the lyrics to probably 95% of all Ozzy Osborne songs. Sharon and her father did everything she could to keep him from getting credit and royalties.
He's made tens of millions in royalties, which is why he keeps getting his ass thrown out of court. His issue is he feels the royalties he gets are not enough. Here is the thing Daisley is now as he was then an experienced professional musician if had wanted a better contract he should have gotten one for himself. I'm glad Bob Daisley was a part of this session but other than that the greedy fuck Bob Daisley can fuck off.
I think he meant if they weren’t replaced and Randy hasn’t died in 82. I imagine the band would of done all of the blizzard tour and all of the diary tour. Randy wanted to leave after diary tour was done to go to school to get a degree in classical guitar. So Ozzy would of gotten another player to replace Randy anyways. So who knows if the guys would of stayed with Ozzy or not. I think it was set in stone earily on that was all about Ozzy Osbourne not about a band. Which is what Lee and Bob wanted and thought it was going to be. Don’t know where Randy be now if he was still alive and healthy and nothing else happened to him. Maybe he would of returned to Ozzy who knows. Or maybe would have had a successful solo career with his classical/rock guitar style he was into. Randy should of never gotten on that plane in first place with the coked up pilot. He never wanted to go up I originally heard. It was a recipe for disaster from the get go.
Randy was gone after the tour so doesn't matter. It wasn't ozzy it was all Sharon. Ozzy doesn't make those decisions...not coherent enough. Sharon knew Bob and Lee would demand to get paid more next albums and she can save a lot of money and dump them. It was her idea to re-record the first two albums with new players so Bob and Lee didn't get paid
This is the way it always should of been,bad ass trio! Instead Bob and Lee got screwed and Randy was killed.. What a shame, Rest In Peace Lee Kerslake you were definitely one of the greats!!
WITHOUT THIS LINE UP THERE WOULD BE NO OZZY PERIOD . HE WOULD HAVE BEEN A NAME FROM A GROUP . GREAT LINE UP I SIT AND WONDER WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TO HEAR DIO SING THIS ANYWAYS. R.I.P RANDY YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN MISSED BY THE WORLD OF MY ROCK FAMILY ..
Great comment my friend. This is a classic case of “he who has the most money, has the most power.” Sharon was a powerful force and seemed hellbent to make it a Ozzy record and that was IT. To put HIM at the center of it all. This unit was NOT a democracy whatsoever. Apparently the music mattered only as a platform to make her hubby look and sound good. Any real musician KNOWS that rock music starts with good drums. The only other person I can think of who’d make this song sound like it supposed to is Cozy Powell. Lee’s feel and tempo here makes the song. It’s definitely easier said than done. Lee was a HUGE talent, as was Daisley. We all know Randy was outstanding. Lastly, Dio would’ve sounded incredible on this track! I laughed like hell when saw what you wrote here cuz you’re 110% correct.
@The Automaton Collective I agree. This is right after KISS just showed how to market a product as well, and Ozzy was extremely marketable from that standpoint. From a commercial point of view, Ozzy didn’t need anyone to carry him.
I can hear that Bob Daisley is riding the bass slightly ahead of the beat and Lee Kerslake has laid back the backbeat. Great to hear that track! No quantise at all, this is the beauty of the music made by musicians!
That little feeling you get hoping the bass will slow down or the drums will speed up. That little tension is magical. Even if…especially when you aren’t listening for it.
I agree, but it is intentional. Bob plays like a drummer. It only conributes to the jumpiness of the song, plus Randy is on the beat, so it eavens it out. 👌
It's because that bass notes are so low in hz frequency, that the bass player often needs to get in on the note quicker in order to achieve a punchy rock rhythm and groove. It's actually a credit to the Lee the drummer, that he can keep straight time with the bass accenting slightly ahead of the beat like that. And yes when you put it all together, it does just gel.
@@rphillip1086 I just come from the school of Zep/Bonham/Jonesie where it's all about laying back on the beat so when I hear this I'm like WHOA HOLD ON COKE HEADS. LOL. Bottom line is if it works, it works - don't mess with it. I got this record in 7th grade because I overheard Mary Wilson talking about it in plastics class so I asked my mom to get it for my birthday and I was like HELL YES. Biggest regret is I didn't get to see Randy play when he came to San Diego because my mom's friend wouldn't let him go on a school night.
Anyone interested in reading about working with the osbournes from one othe horses mouths, go here. bobdaisley.com/interview/website This a pretty exhaustive interview covering MAAAANY years of Bob’s interactions with Ozzy and why he kept working with him despite getting screwed by Sharon. It’s safe to say Ozzy likely wouldn’t have been much without Black Sabbath, where most of the music came from Tony and the lyrics came from Geezer. It’s also safe to say that his solo career got a major boost from the song writing and stage experience of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. These men were crucial to the organization of the band and the writing and arrangements of the first two Blizzard Of Oz records. That’s actually what the band was called before Sharon came along. The band definitely benefited from Ozzys notoriety but those records would’ve been radically different without them. It’s possible they never would’ve happened without them as Ozzy was was mess at that time.
Ozzy had nothing to do with the writing of this song or any other track! These three incredible talents were all responsible for making Ozzy look good and he screwed them as payment.
Jake E Lee was quoted as saying that on the albums he played on,it said “all songs written by Ozzy” which is a miracle because he didn’t write lyrics, read music or play an instrument (Ozzy)
How scary for a musician would that be- to have Sharon as your boss calling the shots, and Ozzy just defaulting to her. Sort of bummed about Ozzy since hearing about how they treated the band members.
I agree. Always loved Blizzard and this track until I read Bob Daisley's autobiography. Now I feel that these songs are tainted for me and I'm pissed off about that!
@@steveparrinJust imagine the first two or theee albums as being made by ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ instead of under ‘Ozzy Osbourne’. Ozzy was an important part of the music, but not really a driving force enough to be a solo record.
The great thing about music is it can transport you back to a time and place like an acid flashback. Crazy train transports me to my Sand Lot Stand by Me years. Good times rock on.
It pisses me off that Sharon did not credit Bob & Lee on Diary of a Madman. Most people didn't even know that they played on it for years. Now Lee has passed on, and they never reconciled with him either...
They kind of did reconcile with him... Kinda. I think it was this past year that Lee wrote a letter to Ozzy telling him that he was dying so Ozzy gave him the Blizzard of Ozz and Diary Platinum records. It's here on youtube.
Yeah. "REALLY NICE people" ....After how many decades, and EVERYTHING else, they FINALLY give the man HIS gold records when he's full of sickness and the reaper is crawling ALL around his door....SMFH "Sharon AND Ozzy", You were an amazing performer Oz, just NO backbone! And for Lee AND Randy? R.I.P. and RAISE sum CAIN while you are up there guys! We will always miss you, but your amazing hard hitting music LIVES ON......
@@jamescon55 The only reason why they even sent Lee the platinum records for Blizzard of Ozz and Diary is because Lee wrote Ozzy a letter telling him that he was dying. Otherwise they would've just ignored him again.
Sometimes I wish Randy had never joined Ozzy bc there's a 99.9% chance he'd still be alive today. We might have even still gotten different variations of all the songs anyway or maybe he would have become a classical music professor or something like that made him happy. Tommy Aldridge told me twice that Randy was very unhappy and disillusioned during his time with Ozzy.. he wanted to get the hell away and had planned to after the last tour was over
Listened to the two versions of this album I have; yes, these were the original musicians. You can tell more by the drumming than by the bass, and there is a resonance in the studio where the drums were recorded that you can still pick up on in the recording with the vocals on it. And Sharon, bless her little heart, did not mix the second version right. She overmixed the guitar.
Randy believe it or not loved alice cooper.i personally knew him and his drummer brother growing up,his mom was the talent,she taught music,she was amazing on piano.He never learned solo till he went to alice coopers concert.which he learned instantly.
depends which you are listening too. sharon had trujillo re-record the bass on the 'reissue' release. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard_of_Ozz#2002_reissue
Anyone else hear what Lee is doing on the hi hat here? Without this pattern he’s playing the song wouldn’t be what it is. Because of it, the song doesn’t lag. Daisley is just a monster on bass here too. God......
As a rhythm oriented bass player I tend to pick up on these things. If he just put down 8th notes on the hi hat, they would’ve looked for another drummer!
After 40 plus years it is still musical perfection. Thanks guys and may the Lord give each of you his peace and blessing.
"A Great Tribute to the "Late Great Lee Kerslake!! "Sept 2020" "What a Player.R.I.P,

Man, Kerslake is a Drum God. Nobody has, or ever will, sound like him.
As wonderful as Aldridge is, Kerslake brought more nuance and feel to the groove. Same with Robert Daisley.

Bass sounds awesome. I starting to think with the final mix. They turned down the bass.
Never realized how good that bass sounds...
It’s cause Ozzy replaced it
Sounds like maybe a Music Man Stingray, thumpy low end and very prominent mids.
Sounds great
A Gibson EB-3
Pleasure to listen to that for first time at 52 years of age and a fan of Randy's playing since I first heard him aged 10

Randy believe it or not loved alice cooper.i personally knew him and his drummer brother growing up,his mom was the talent,she taught music,she was amazing on piano.He never learned solo till he went to alice coopers concert.which he learned instantly.
Understood - I grew up on Alice Cooper and you can hear that in his style ... this is the best version of this song I have ever heard.
I'd say that the song Steven influenced him
Its hard to do drum fills at this tempo. I try to imagine them in my head but they all come across as awkward.
Which made Lee Kerslake special and perfect for these masterpiece albums
Listen to Clive Burr's fill on Maiden's "Run To The Hills"
Kickass
❤❤❤
The baselines the final product are totally different. I wonder who made them changes.
depends which you are listening too. sharon had trujillo re-record the bass on the 'reissue' release.

So sad how Sharon treated Lee AND Bob. I am glad Lee got his recognition before he passed. Great band!!!
Anyone else hear what Lee is doing on the hi hat here? Without this pattern he’s playing the song wouldn’t be what it is. Because of it, the song doesn’t lag.
Daisley is just a monster on bass here too. God......
you're right. there are a lot of things hidden in the pattern.
As a rhythm oriented bass player I tend to pick up on these things. If he just put down 8th notes on the hi hat, they would’ve looked for another drummer!
Dude, don't let that upset you. It's still ,,,,OZZY.
LEE KERSLAKE ---EL ÚNICO QUE HUBIERA PODIDO REEMPLAZAR A BONHAM
Both of the albums should be re- released in this format . " THE BLIZZARD OF OZZ BAND " 2024
