When Ozzy split with Sabbath, many of us old rockers were holding our breath. Then Ozzy forms up with amazing musicians and Sabbath finds Ronnie James Dio. We all began to breath easier - what seemed like disaster evolved into 2 new musical options. This album was that beginning.
Actually this album wasnt the beginning, it was the second solo album, the beginning for Ozzy solo was Blizzard of Ozz not Diary of a Madman and Heaven and Hell was the beginning of Sabbath with Dio.
Ozzy was kicked out of Sabbath(justifiably) and had something to prove...and he did, 2 of the best ever metal albums ever...but I also really dug Mob Rules and Heaven and Hell
@@ericsierra-franco7802 … that is what I said. Apparently. Ozzy had a bit of drinking and drug problem.. go figure. The rest of the band deemed him as unreliable… so legend has it.
"If you could be inside my head, you'd see that black and white is red." Always loved that line! Also, Randy Rhoads was an amazing guitar player, who died too soon after this second album "Diary of a Madman" of Ozzy Osbourne's solo career. An example of how precise Randy Rhoads was, his solo was triple tracked (played three separate times) to give it a fat sound.
@Brad & Lex The actual lyric from the album is "black and white is read", which is a play on words about ink and paper, like a newspaper. It gets read.
Ya had to be there at the right time and place , the right mind set at the right age to really get something like Ozzy in the Randy Rhoads years, for those of us who lived it there will never be anything like it again. You young folks nowadays will just never know.
I saw Ozzy during his Shot In The Dark tour in the 80's and the thing that shocked me the most during the performance was seeing people run on stage to give him a hug. People really loved him and I think it's because he has spoken so honestly about his mental health struggles throughout his life. He is a very relatable rock star.
I always appreciate the first couple of solo albums with Randy playing. You have to give it up for Ozzy in leaving such a huge band, Black Sabbath, then reinventing himself and becoming even more successful in many ways. I’m sure Sharon played a big part in that as well.
@@matthewcampbell8720 whether voluntarily or involuntarily,,he did leave the band. I didn’t specify which and it’s not the point. He did leave and reinvented himself as somewhat of a phenomenon as a solo artist and Randy being a guitar phenomenon was a huge part of that. Would it have been as successful if Randy wasn’t there is a better point of speculative debate.
For many of us 70's and 80's metal heads OZZY was the epitome of the metal movement and the mantra "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" OZZY will live forever in the music he made and living the lifestyle of the rebellious generation that he helped create.
Randy Rhoads was the G.O.A.T. If you listen closely, Randy was such a perfectioist he could layer his parts perfectly. very few guitar players can do that. Listen again and you'll hear him play his parts multiple times. I think the leads are recorded three times and just layered on top of each other \mXm/
My Favorite part of this song is when Randy does the sound like Godzilla's Roar. I sure miss when I first heard these songs. That was a fun time. I miss the 80's
Now that you mention it, I think maybe that is part of the draw to these reaction videos. We can't go back to when we first heard them but we do get to enjoy watching others first time hearing them.
@@michaelbarr3039 Spot on! I would give anything to go back and hear Ozzy, Billy Idol, or Michael Jackson for the first time (or to see Michael dance in one of his videos - totally mind blowing). I had Thriller and Bark at the Moon on vinyl and used to bring it in to my music class for the teacher to play. He would just look at me and say, "You like this stuff?" 🤣Sad that he was a music teacher with such a closed mind.
Agree with you miss the 80's but grateful that I grew up at that time. From the second British invasion: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Def Leppard, etc. Movies like The Outsiders, The Karate Kid, Terminator, etc. I love the decades that came before like 70's Led Zeppelin, Bad Company, Fleetwood Mac, especially 1979's The Warriors (I'll shove that bat up your ass and turn you into a popsicle) The 80's for me were overall special moments in my life that I'll always remember with a smile.
@@tattoodude8946 I remember my friend and I sitting in his mom's car outside of Catholic Sunday School listening to Blizzard of Oz. It had the same feel as entering into a haunted house. Not one of those cheesy halloween fake haunted houses, I mean a legit out in the middle of the forest abandoned haunted house. lol
I'm not sure who put the lyrics on here. I can understand the mistake. What they have written is " That black, and white are red". The lyrics on the album sleeve is written this way, and would make sense. It is as follows. " That black and white is read ". Sorry but my ocd kicked in a little.
Fingers up, head bopping, Randy going nuts, what a great vibe. Flying high again, was a way of life, and a anthem! Ozzy is completely and totally unapologetic. Great reaction Lex. Brad there are a lot of ways to find meaning in life.
One of the best songs on one of the best albums of all time!!!!!! This is the stuff that make's me happy to have lived as a young American man in the 80's. Rock on!!!!
I grow up an Elvis freak until like 12 years old. Elvis was a special type of talent and I put Ozzy in that group. Ozzy can never be replaced or imitated. Plus i find Ozzy's mind to be amazing.
I love that Ozzy got into music because of his love of the Beatles. One icon looking up to others and he went is a completely different direction for sure!
I've always thought that if aliens came to earth to collect specimens of us from different aspects of life (doctor, lawyer, athlete, etc.) that their choice for rock star would HAVE to be Ozzy!
@@brettkenschaft4239 That would be awesome. His song with Elton John was damn good! I actually just watched a video of him singing Paranoid with Phil Collins on drums which was pretty cool too.
This song is one of my favorites of Ozzy's. I saw them in concert in Birmingham, Alabama in February 1982 . It was the tour for this album, Diary of a Madman. This was 2 weeks before the ane crash that took the life of Randy Rhoades. This song was great live!
It is INSANE to me that they resumed the tour April 1 only 2 weeks after the accident and losing Randy and that I still saw him June 17 in Portland. I was 13, and my youtube profile pic was taken around that time. Lol🤘🤘
That was a great feat in itself. I did not know the guy that replaced Randy went on to play in Night Ranger. I do not remember his name right now, but I know who he is. I was 21 at that concert.
One of Ozzy's songs that really is different and shows Randy's style is the song "S.A.T.O.". It's one that flies under the radar a lot and you must hear.
Overa a fifty-year career of consistent production, Ozzy has played with two of the greats in Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads, among many other great musicians. He's of that rare < 1% who's been blessed with a long, productive career. Love him or leave him, he's one of the greats.
Ozzy is an amazing experience to hear live? He sings & sounds like he does in studio but with so much emotion and personable connection with the audience. Check him out with Black Sabbath & his solo work live!
When I was a teenager, I went through 3 walkmans listening to this song and the song Suicide Solution. Randy Rhoads was the shit!!! I had Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads posters all over the walls and ceiling in my bedroom. Best memories ever...
The Ozzy albums that saved my life in high school - I wouldn't have made it through without immersing myself into headphones and Ozzy, to make the problems go away. Thank you Ozzy
GUYS....... The line is actually Black and White is READ....As In I actually read and am intelligent. It's one of those misheard lyrics or is taken wrong and just another lyric video typo as usual lol. Who knows maybe that what Daisley wanted when he wrote it for it to mean both. I'll spare everyone from my usual Randy Rhoads is god rant LOL I'd love to see you two cover "Diary of a Madman" next. ua-cam.com/video/YwWVE84OEIA/v-deo.html Peace
Ozzy calls Sharon "mommy or mama.". It's remarkable he didn't die from an O.D. And the horrific fall from the ATV was extremely serious. He's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, probably a year or two ago, but he has done a couple performances that have been INCREDIBLE, considering his health! His new song Patient 9 is awesome, I highly recommend it!
I hear this song for the fist time now and the moment i whittnessed the line "black and white is red" i threw my phone on my bed and started laughing. My entire closet is filled with clothes in the colors black, white and red. I swear i am not making this up. Think about it this way. Black and white are extremes. Like good and bad. Chaos and order. Red is symbolic of both of those things. Red like roses red like hearts and elegant aswell as soft, warm, dark wine red. But then the other side red like fire and blood. Agressive, alarming, dominant, Scharlach-red. No other color is able to encapsulate this dynamic between good and bad as well as the color red.. I have even written a poem about the color red. This line made way too much sense to me. I am shocked. Honestly this feels like a joke.
Man oh man this brings back some memories!! 😂 I think it was fifth sixth grade in Cali, after school we all walked home and this one kid Timothy had this at the time called 'boom box' and he would blast this tape as we walk home from school smoking some crappy leaf weed that he got from his parents.. 😂
When my friends were experimenting with drugs I went into full scale research. Love Ozzie and love you guys!!! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! This one and Crazy Train are two of my favorites in his catalog!!
Listen to S.A.T.O. from the same album. One of the best Randy Rhoads solos ever and superb rhythms by Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley. And you totally have to react to the title track Diary Of A Madman
In reality OZZY is just a sweetheart who loves his fans and loves living the life of a rock star, sometimes getting in trouble by going further than intended for example " the legendary BAT incident" that will follow his name forever.
Randy Rhoads is often overlooked and doesn't get the credit due to him. The guy was an insanely talented songwriter and guitarist and told ozzy the day he died that drugs and alcohol are gonna kill him then got into a plane and got killed by a pilot high on cocaine and ozzy has never forgotten was.randy told him that day.
One of my favorite lines from a Sabbath song...."I don't know if up is down, black is white, or blue is brown...the colors in my life are all different somehow...Little Boy Blue's a big girl now."
Great song on a great record. That line up is to be mentioned a long side Ozzy! Remember the actual line up that recorded the 2 original albums "Blizzard of Oz" & "Diary of a Madman" were Randy Rhodes, Lee Kerslake & Bob Daisley! Then filled by equally amazing Tommy Aldridge & Rudy Sarzo! R.I.P. Randy. Such a wonderful musician & person. He left this World too soon but memory will never be forgotten!
Frontman for the creators of the entire genre of Heavy Metal and uniquely successful solo career when everyone other that Ozzy fans never gave him a chance, and of course the Prince of Darkness himself lol. Early 80s gave us Sabbath fans 2 awesome Ozzy albums with Randy on guitar and 2 amazing Sabbath albulms with Dio replacing Ozzy. I'm selfish, I loved it all, what a great time to live. They came from nothing in Birmingham England and lived incredible lives. He says he should have been dead 1000s of times.
Randy Rhoads was such an amazing guitarist.
This is great, but the live version from the album Tribute is sensational. Randy Rhodes was a guitar genius, RIP.
When Ozzy split with Sabbath, many of us old rockers were holding our breath. Then Ozzy forms up with amazing musicians and Sabbath finds Ronnie James Dio. We all began to breath easier - what seemed like disaster evolved into 2 new musical options. This album was that beginning.

Ronnie James Dio is the greatest rock vocalist ever. Top Five in all polls, number one for me.
Ozzy was kicked out of Sabbath.
@@ericsierra-franco7802 … that is what I said. Apparently. Ozzy had a bit of drinking and drug problem.. go figure. The rest of the band deemed him as unreliable… so legend has it.
“Knuckleheads just can’t read a book.” It’s for these kind of comments I keep coming back. My two favorite reactors.
Randy absolutely KILLS it in this track......
One of Ozzy's best! Long Live Randy Rhoads! 🤘
"If you could be inside my head, you'd see that black and white is red." Always loved that line!

@@paulrogers4483 Just like the old joke: What is black and white and red (read)? A newspaper.
@@terrylandess6072 Yeah sorta like that lol
Long live the memory of Randy Rhoads and the legacy of Ozzy Osbourne!
@@paulrogers4483 exactly, glad somebody pointed that out
Another great Ozzy Osbourne song in the great Randy Rhoads guitarist era. R.I.P. Randy Rhoads.
The lyrics to this song are under my high school picture in the yearbook
You can’t kill rock-n-roll. You have to hear that song!!
@Brad & Lex
The actual lyric from the album is "black and white is read", which is a play on words about ink and paper, like a newspaper. It gets read.
Thank you, I get tired of people getting that line wrong and thinking it's red.
Thank you thank thank you... i sooo wanted to comment this but didnt want to start an argument
It's a riddle.
Q: What's Black◼️, and White ◻️, and Red♦️ (Read) All Over?
A: A Newspaper.

I they are the very best of Ozzy's solo work.
Well he was kicked out, so he didn’t really have a choice about leaving
It was ALL Sharon... if not for her, he wouldnt have been anything and would have died from the drugs

Amen ..doesn't get any better than Randy ...
@@donnysarian That's awesome! He was a big influence on my playing early on.
Randy Rhoads, Bob Dailsley and Lee Kerslake killed it on this. Bob and Randy writing all the music and Bob writing the lyrics. Great song.
RIP RR ,he has been my favorite guitar 🎸 genius since 1979. Love Randy Rhoads. Thanks for reacting to RR and Ozzy.
Featuring one of the most influential, and greatest guitarists of all time. Randy Rhodes!!!
Randy was bloody brilliant on this. 🎶
Thank you for sharing this with me 😊
Ozzy was tearing it up back then!
Overa a fifty-year career of consistent production, Ozzy has played with two of the greats in Tony Iommi and Randy Rhoads, among many other great musicians. He's of that rare < 1% who's been blessed with a long, productive career. Love him or leave him, he's one of the greats.
Played this in a cover band some 30 years ago. Always loved the groove of this tune, with the bass playing on the upbeat. Great rhythmic contrast!
just a absolutely beautiful guitar solo...great phrasing ,emotion.....fits the song perfectly. Randy was a great great composer. Absolute best ever.
My favorite song of all time. Randy Forever!!!
There will never be another Ozzy Osbourne, Randy Rhoads (RIP) or Ronnie James Dio (RIP)!
Ozzy is an amazing experience to hear live? He sings & sounds like he does in studio but with so much emotion and personable connection with the audience. Check him out with Black Sabbath & his solo work live!
Phaser, Chorus, and Flanger.
When I was a teenager, I went through 3 walkmans listening to this song and the song Suicide Solution. Randy Rhoads was the shit!!! I had Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads posters all over the walls and ceiling in my bedroom. Best memories ever...
OMG! Fell off my couch laughing at, “Knuckleheads can’t just read a book.”
I love the "Killers " t-shirt :)
Loved this in the 80s
A younger mans song 💚
Reading a book will never compare to experiencing different levels of drug induced consciousness.
Good ol' MEU! Mind Expansion University! 😆
Nice, rockin the Killers Tee🤘
Hey guys what's up! Ozzie's first two albums are just incredible. Randy Rhoads is amazing. You guys rock! God bless you! Peace!
Man now this is rock and roll creme de la creme.🤟🤟🤟🤟
Listen to this song cranked too 10 on your headphones.. and then listen to the next song "You Can't Kill Rock n Roll." Randy is a fuckin BEAST... 🤘
one of my fave Ozzy tracks , I dont know,Crazy Train & for later Perry Mason
The Ozzy albums that saved my life in high school - I wouldn't have made it through without immersing myself into headphones and Ozzy, to make the problems go away. Thank you Ozzy
there is no one like Ozzy.
Randy Rhoads, the legend 🤘🤘🔥🔥on guitar... That's it!

I've been lucky I have seen him 4 times in concert it's so great!!!!
Killer song! Randy Rhoads was a beast at the guitar!🎸🎸🔥🔥
Love this song....over the mountain is great too!!! 💙💙💙
You can't kill ROCK AND ROLL fucking awesome 🤘
I still play this on bass. Love this song.
S.A.T.O and Little Dolls are amazing also
Ozzy calls Sharon "mommy or mama.". It's remarkable he didn't die from an O.D. And the horrific fall from the ATV was extremely serious. He's been diagnosed with Parkinson's, probably a year or two ago, but he has done a couple performances that have been INCREDIBLE, considering his health! His new song Patient 9 is awesome, I highly recommend it!
"Under the Graveyard" from his previous album is very good too!!
I hear this song for the fist time now and the moment i whittnessed the line "black and white is red" i threw my phone on my bed and started laughing.
My entire closet is filled with clothes in the colors black, white and red.
I swear i am not making this up.
Think about it this way.
Black and white are extremes.
Like good and bad.
Chaos and order.
Red is symbolic of both of those things.
Red like roses red like hearts and elegant aswell as soft, warm, dark wine red.
But then the other side red like fire and blood. Agressive, alarming, dominant, Scharlach-red.
No other color is able to encapsulate this dynamic between good and bad as well as the color red..
I have even written a poem about the color red.
This line made way too much sense to me.
I am shocked.
Honestly this feels like a joke.
Great song, three absolute favourites of mine are Over the Mountain SATO and Diary of a Madman, really worth a listen
This album would 💯 percent be one of my "deserted island" choices!!
Randy's guitar solos are sensational, what a talent he was.
Randy Rhoads on guitar 🎸
LEX I LOVE YOUR IRON MAIDEN TSHIRT!..LOVE YOU TWO!
Great to see this reaction RANDY RHOADS MONSTER GUITARIST....literally one of the best ever up there with EVH
Swallowing colors of the sound I hear. Fughetaboutit, been there, 3 hits of 4 way green triangle. WHEW, gone for 3 days.
Man oh man this brings back some memories!! 😂
I think it was fifth sixth grade in Cali, after school we all walked home and this one kid Timothy had this at the time called 'boom box' and he would blast this tape as we walk home from school smoking some crappy leaf weed that he got from his parents.. 😂
I think Randy Rhodes was classically trained and probably why Lex likes him.
This is definitely my favorite Ozzy tune. 👌
Black Sabbath/Under the Sun
When my friends were experimenting with drugs I went into full scale research. Love Ozzie and love you guys!!! Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! This one and Crazy Train are two of my favorites in his catalog!!
Ozzy with randy is the best. Try you can't kill rock and roll, it's one of my favorites.
Listen to S.A.T.O. from the same album. One of the best Randy Rhoads solos ever and superb rhythms by Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley. And you totally have to react to the title track Diary Of A Madman
Rip Randy Rhoads!!
Anything and everything was a go back in the 80s
In reality OZZY is just a sweetheart who loves his fans and loves living the life of a rock star, sometimes getting in trouble by going further than intended for example " the legendary BAT incident" that will follow his name forever.
The "black and white is red (read)", was a play on words. Written in black and white.
Was in a car wreck back in '86--this tune was blasting as we sailed through a fence into a cow field...no people or cows were injured
Children love Ozzy because of his voice ! 😎 Seen it cross 3 generations.
the best vocalist in rock, period
Izzy is a legendary rock singer who sang lead for Black Sabbath, and since then has never looked back
Izzy Izbourne, Ozzy's evil twin!
@@treeduck3705 😂😂😂 I was gonna ask: "Izzy REALLY?"
Randy Rhoads is often overlooked and doesn't get the credit due to him. The guy was an insanely talented songwriter and guitarist and told ozzy the day he died that drugs and alcohol are gonna kill him then got into a plane and got killed by a pilot high on cocaine and ozzy has never forgotten was.randy told him that day.
It's amazing. You can understand Ozzy when he sings, but can't when he talks.
Definitely one of my top 3 favorite songs by Ozzy.
One of my favorite lines from a Sabbath song...."I don't know if up is down, black is white, or blue is brown...the colors in my life are all different somehow...Little Boy Blue's a big girl now."
Merry Christmas guys. I wish you the best. And Lex looks like mom when she was young. Bless you guys
Great song on a great record. That line up is to be mentioned a long side Ozzy! Remember the actual line up that recorded the 2 original albums "Blizzard of Oz" & "Diary of a Madman" were Randy Rhodes, Lee Kerslake & Bob Daisley! Then filled by equally amazing Tommy Aldridge & Rudy Sarzo! R.I.P. Randy. Such a wonderful musician & person. He left this World too soon but memory will never be forgotten!
I was a good era for Ozzy, Randy provided unusual riffs for us to ponder
Love you❤. You got to hear SMOKIE, a chill 70’band lot of hits..
the line in question black and white is red. switch red with read talking about printed material news papers magazines etc
Frontman for the creators of the entire genre of Heavy Metal and uniquely successful solo career when everyone other that Ozzy fans never gave him a chance, and of course the Prince of Darkness himself lol.
Early 80s gave us Sabbath fans 2 awesome Ozzy albums with Randy on guitar and 2 amazing Sabbath albulms with Dio replacing Ozzy. I'm selfish, I loved it all, what a great time to live.
They came from nothing in Birmingham England and lived incredible lives. He says he should have been dead 1000s of times.
Brad got a metaphor!!!!! Oh how far he has come....good job Brad, good job...LOL
Diary of a Madman! The best Ozzy release. What makes this special is the work by the legend Randy Rhodes. You should do every song off this album.
Watch his reality show that was on MTV 🎸🤘
