Still love it when one of my sons stumbles on some of the great tunes from that era, then come to tell me about it. Gotta admit , it always puts a smile on my face.
I’m another old guy who absolutely loves when those of your generation delve into our old stuff, listens to it and possibly appreciates it! Other old people should really cut you all the slack in the world!
He was amazing and a big loss, you actually feel the riffs that match Ozzy's voice,never been anyone else to compare,he would of been impressed with the younger generation playing his music!Ozzy is a favorite then and now!
As one of those old guys, ignore anyone that's giving you crap about your reactions. Just glad to see people keeping this awesome music alive. Rock on!
I'm a 90's kid and this is the kind of music I grew up with and I agree also if I count lol. I was one of the only metal heads in my high school in Ireland. My friends all liked rap and electronic dance music and wore Nike and Adidas tracksuits whereas I was rocking boots, jeans and a leather jacket and vests. I was the odd one out and got so much crap from everyone including my mates 😂 but it was the pioneers of this music in the 70's and 80's that got me interested in the modern rock and metal scene rather than the reverse of discovering old music later in life. They must be appreciated.
People giving you shit for not knowing info about the band you are checking out can piss off!!! I personally love the fact that the younger peeps are discovering this music!! Like when I was in high school back in the 80's I really got into music from the 1960's....I am really glad I found your channel!
To me, people giving you $h!t is like someone giving it to me because when I was 11 when this song came out, I loved it, BUT, in saying that, I also was checking out the Beatles, beach Boys, Danny and the juniors, Chuck berry, the untouchable BUDDY F'N HOLLY, The Who, etc... so, u guess we're in the same boat, right? I respect ya for expanding your musical library. Also, I caught alot of crap because I started to dabble into listening to Mozart, Bach, Strauss, etc. It's funny how much Mwtal and Classical have the same complexity, meaning the building of emotions throughout the song/piece, and how they do it it within the chord structure and the flow of the music. Also, there was a study at Princeton University and they discovered that the people with the highest I.Q's listened to Classical. I bet you can't guess who came in a close 2nd place? Yep, you guessed it, fans of Metal!!! With hard rock and rock coming in 3rd, then country and bubble gum pop [ Top 40 radio music] then rap bringing up the final spot respectfully. Anyways, got off track there, I just think it's kinda comical that this girl I met in high school HATED Metal because un her words it was music for satanic burnouts, who couldn't tie their shoes if you gave them 6 tries!!! Lol. So, as we became friends, we slowly got to know each others friends, and instead of being afraid of my friends, she ended up enjoying talking with them. She was shocked at most of their knowledge in books, history, and their philosophical look at music. And, soon (Though she NEVER became a fan of Metal music, she LOVED the story telling and how well versed the song writers were). She ended up looking at her friends very differently after that, and sion realized that most of them were just copying other people's thoughts, and just adding their own verbiage to them. Instead of, like my friends, having original thoughts, ideas, and takes on things, though not always correct, they learned alot by throwing their own ideas our there, and having each of us either correct them where they were wrong, or being fascinated by them and adding to them. To wrap up this story about this "high school friend" we each went and lived life on our own paths for several years, before running back into each other years later. 18 years, and a beautiful baby boy later, I can honestly say I've NEVER been with someone I've had more fun talking to, even after all these years. We still learn things from each order. We constantly ask each other if the other knows the answer to whatever problem they're having. And we enjoy bouncing things off of each other, and seeing what we can learn from the other. I'm completely and totally in love with her, and can tell just by the way she still looks at me that she loves me. With just a look, she let's me know that I'm the love of her life. Those are the times that my knees almost give out. Anyways, she's the absolute missing piece to the puzzle that is my happiness. And, I can't remember how I was ever happy without her!!! Lol. Anyways, I wanna end this novel by saying, I LOVE YA BEAUTIFUL, and thank you to all the Metal artists who gave us fodder to discuss while we was getting to know each others personal thoughts on!!!
This guitarist is THE late Randy Rhodes. Considered one if not THE best guitarist ever. Tommi Iomi was the Black Sabbath guitarist with the tip of his finger missing. RIP RR
To be clear, Ozzy himself would have no F*$ks to give for people criticizing someone like you who is on an epic music journey! Neither do we, so you be you!!! We are here for it.
Mr Crowley, what's that duet he does with Lena Ford?. Can't think of it right now. Perry Mason, Mr Brownstone, there's a bunch of them. I liked Sabbath, but I liked Ozzy solo beter.
You are listening to this in 2024, I listened to this in 1984, there is a difference in appreciation, but massive probs to the younger generation for appreciating the journey of metal...
Randy Rhodes is the GOAT as far as i'm concerned. He's from where I grew up in the East of Los Angeles and the Valley....he's buried in San Bernardino cemetery...always wanted to pay my respects....such a staggering loss when he died so young....
Everybody calling everyone the goat....if you didn't know the goat came from Baphemet...as the G O A T came from baphemet...thier one in the same...most people don't realize that...they just think thier calling them the greatest of all time..
You gotta throw some love and respect to Randy Rhoads, the legend, a true guitar hero who wrote this music and saved Ozzy’s ass from the out house pit. Tony Iomi is from Black Sabbath who had a missing finger, well I think half was missing. Tony is a great guitarist but Randy was something very special, trained in classical guitar 🎸. He taught music at his mom’s music school “ the musonia “ or something like that, hell idk how to spell it. Randy has been an inspiration to so many and the reason that so many have picked up the guitar 🎸. He was killed about 45 minutes from where I live because their last concert was in Knoxville, TN, they made a pit stop after that show, R goes on a joyride that he really did not want to be a part of but was talked into it, anyway the rest is nightmarish history. We lost one of the worlds greatest guitarists on that dreadful day in March 1982. Randy will always be remembered for his mad skills as a guitarist and saving Ozzy’s ass because Ozzy would not have had his”awesome” comeback if it hadn’t been for RR in my humble opinion. Mol, you should take a listen to both records blizzard of oz and diary of a madman. The guitar work drums bass, all of it was just outstanding. Ozzy’s best lineup, Tommy Aldridge on drums, Rudy Sarzo bass, and Randy on lead guitar. Incredible lineup, ozzy’s best ever . The solos are excellent, mr Crowley, I don’t know, revalalation (Mother Earth) Randy’s classical piece called Dee( named after his mom Deloris), my personal fave, flyin high which is off diary. Every song on both is incredible. You have to hear R. He’s amazing and still has awesome impact even today. Thanks Mol, you won’t be disappointed ! 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼. 🎸. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼 He was 25 when he died. Oh Ozzy was fired from sabbath in 1979. Randy had just been presented worlds best new young guitarist award. ❤️💙💜💚❤️💙💜💚❤️💙💜 I will always love Randy. His music lives on forever and so does he right here in my broken heart 💔.RANDY WAS MAGICAL ✨💫🌟⚡️💫🌟✨💫🌟⚡️💫
As an old person, I applaud you for listening to this music; so many people from ALL generations don't appreciate some of the creative genius of that time. I've been watching a lot of reaction videos for some time now, and you're doing okay. Anyone who expects you to automatically know some fact beforehand fails to get the point. Also, the breaks and the pauses were fine, the commentary good, and I'm sure we'll get all the gaps filled in! (I did notice your accent matched Ozzy's, small world, eh?)
I live about 20 miles from where the plane crashed. I drove down there on the morning of the 40 year anniversary of his death arriving ( 10 am )to pay my respects. I was the only one there and looked around at the house that was rebuilt and looks exactly the same as it did on that dreadful day. I always wondered what Randy’s life would have been like if he had lived. 😢
@@stuarttacey you are forgetting who he was around everyday the final years of his death. Most people start with cigarettes, then alcohol, then pills, then ___ (insert drug here). Just saying. Not that he could’ve been above it all, but chances are not 0.
As a 66 yr old dude.....I apologize for my generation. We tend to to forget that 20 year olds have never been exposed to this. We can get really self righteous.
I am an old metalhead. I appreciate you learning and hearing great music. Screw the haters. You are doing great. New subscriber!!!!! Ask all the questions you want bro!! I promise it is the younger people who think they know our music. WE OLD HEADS LOVE YOU!!!!
As a member of the "older generation" I appreciate you listening to our music, I enjoy watching you discover it. Remember, our music gave birth to your music ;)
thanks for taking the time and interest in our music. Crazy Train was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. This is a musical adventure. Don't listen to those who don;t understand why you don't know and thank you for bringing us along on your journey.
Crazy Train is pretty good, but there’s better! I’d recommend “Diary of a Madman” if you want to hear Randy Rhoads at his peak, before he tragically died. His next guitarist (Jake E. Lee) was excellent- check out “Shot In the Dark” or “Ultimate Sin”. An added bonus- he also played in the band Badlands, and “Winter’s Call” is outstanding. His NEXT guitarist was crazy good (Zakk Wylde), and I hold the entire album “No Rest For The Wicked” in very high regard. “Miracle Man”, “Devil’s Daughter”, which has a ridiculous guitar solo, and “Crazy Babies” are just a few highlights.
There's a guitarist on here who does all the solos, note for note, on Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin. You can see just how good Jake was. And some of those finger stretches, man...
As one of your "older viewers" your reactions are great! We love when younger generations are interested in what we grew up with. You keep doin' what you're doin' my man. Your reactions are outstanding. F@%& the haters!
I did security back in the 80s but I can honestly say Ozzy was the only musician that I was star struck I absolutely froze. He was the god of metal and it was an honor to security for him back in New York.
The guitarist you heard was missing a finger is actually Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. And he is missing the tips of two fingers... he ost them in an accident. The lead guitarist here is the legendary Randy Rhodes... who is regarded to be one of the greatest guitarists ever. Randy died in a plane accident only a couple of years after this was recorded in 1980. I cannot even imagine how he would regarded if he were alive today.
I really enjoy seeing in the younger generation hearing these songs for the first time just like we did. There were a lot of great musicians in the 80s and 90s. It's nice to see the younger generation appreciating this talent.
Ozzy is a lover of melodic songs and he has been able to explore this more in his solo work, than he could with Sabbath. Ozzy and Randy had a great relationship, both personally and professionally and I think this comes out in the music that they made together? Diary of a madman, from the second album shows just how amazing Randy was. Another sad loss.
I am proud that you are listening to our generation of rock & metal there are so so many bands you have to check out the guitar player is the late great Randy Rhodes well ahead of his time ROCK THE FUCK ON DUDE
Blizzard of Ozz was the first vinyl record I owned. My oldest brother gave it to me when he moved out on his own. I still cherish that album and still enjoy listening to it after all these years. And bro, ask any and every question you want to learn about these great bands and songs. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know about the music you are enjoying.
This album came out in 1980 in the UK, and 1981 in the US. Randy Rhoads is the guitarist who was a prodigy who died before his time in a small plane crash in 1982. Absolute classic.
Mollyboy. I love your channel. The death of Randy still hits me bad to this day even 42 years on... RIP randy rhoads. Mr Crowley live is a must. Suicide solution solo from Tribute is essential Tony iommi is the black sabbath guitar player who had the tips of his fretting fingers cut off in an accident before black sabbath. Randy died in a plane crash in 1982 rip 😢
I for one will never give you shit, I'm psyched that you're giving this stuff a chance (and liking it)! I bought this album from a classmate in high school for like 5 bucks, and it was ultimately his loss. Give the track "Mr. Crowley" a listen - it's a little slower, but it's got some of my favorite guitar work by Rhoads. Thanks as always!
Not Randy on that one, however. Credit for that solo deservedly goes to Jake E. Lee. Randy only lived 2 more years after Blizzard of Ozz was released. 💔
All of us heard this for the first time once. I was 14 when I heard this. We did not have the internet. At 14 I didn't have money to buy the album. I learned from those who had the album and the DJ on the radio. Don't let anybody make you feel bad. I so appreciate that you are finding this music and enjoying it. Keep on keeping on.
This was my first exposure to metal back in the early 80s. It was just mind blowing. Been a metal head ever since. Glad you have discovered it and welcome.
You know the main source of Ozzy hit success even in his solo career n the reason is he's got the chance of playing with fabulous guitarist throughout his solo career from Randy Rhodes to Zakk Wylde❤❤❤
Check this out, I'm 46 and this absolute gem could be considered to be even a bit before "my" time. I grew up in California, but maybe because I'm Latino, I didn't even hear this one until I was like 19 or 20, and I am sure I was wearing that same stank face during that entire solo as well. But honestly, it feels kind of disrespectful to just call it a "solo"! Glad you are on the crazy train now.
So this album was released 1980 in the UK and 1981 in the States/ Randy Roads was the guitarist on this album and Diary of a Madman, Randy Roads, RIP passed in 1982 when the plane he was in crashed. The guitarist from Black Sabbath, Toni Iommi , lost his finger tips of his middle finger and ringer finger when he was 17. He was working in a sheet metal factory.
Mate, this song is 40+ years old. The guitarist is Randy Rhodes! It was the Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi that was missing digits. I am honestly overjoyed to see a younger person discovering this music. Rock on laddie!!!!
Gotta love Randy Rhoads he died about 50 miles from where I live in a small plane crash. Truly tragic! Must do more please! Hey I’m 57 and I honestly respect you Bro! Thanks for being you and being honest it’s what I really enjoy about your Reactions! You keep it real…just be yourself it Awesome!
I'm 48 and grew up listening to these great bands and seeing them live in concert. Don't take people's criticism to heart. As an old man I love seeing your generation discovering and learning this music. Keep up the great job!!
I am also 48 I love seeing the youngsters enjoying great music But as a GenX it's in are nature to be ball busters. That's the trouble nowadays you can't ball bust without some getting butthurt. So keep up the work young man and carry on and you do you!
I'm 46, and *_WE'RE NOT OLD._* Yet. Sure, we ache a little more and heal a little slower, but we're just a little more worn out, that's all. Still decades ahead of us until we have to worry about the kids stuffing us into care homes. I hope...
In High School had tickets to see them and just before it, Randy Rhodes died.... absolutely devastated... RIP the GOAT. Whole song is a Guitar Solo. just aweseome
Listen up Mollyboy… You are killing it!!! Love your channel, love the fact that you are giving this music a chance. I’m 52, I grew up on this shit man! You’re learning, fuck all the negative shit! Got to crawl before you walk. Great channel brother, keep up the good work.
Mid 50s here. Don't be bothered by the negative crap because some people just like to bring others down. I've been enjoying your videos. It's great to see younger people hear my music for the first time. That you're trying to learn more than just the sound, but the history of that culture... it's just amazing. While we all tend to lean on the guitarists, drums, and vocals... the lyrics are also incredible. One of my favorites from Ozzy is actually a slow and beautiful song. For dinner history: "Goodbye to Romance" was the first track written for Blizzard of Ozz, and the first song that Osbourne and guitarist Randy Rhoads completed together. While you may not do a video on it, I still hope you check it out.
He’s a rock ‘n’ roll God in America everything he touched, turned the gold truly blessed on this album. He had one of the greatest guitarist of all time Randy Rhodes.
Toni Iommi is the guitarist from "Black Sabbath" with the cut off finger situation. This guitarist is the late Randy Rhodes. This was realesed 44 years ago on OZZY'S first solo album "Blizzard of OZ". I'll cut you all the slack in the word for the fact that you're taking the time to listen to this music that myself & all of us "old men" grew up to. ❤ Much love for doing this. We all still listen..😂❤
Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath in 1979 after their tour for the album "Never Say Die". I was lucky enough to see that tour, with a little known opening band named Van Halen (who blew them away). Was privilage to see Van Halen on their 1st headlining tour show ever in Fresno, CA. As well as Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman tours.
I'm so happy that you have discovered Ozzy Osbourne (he's awesome with both Black Sabbath and solo too). I'm happy that young folks are giving older music from all genres a try. I'm one of the "old folks" and there are alot more of us without the courage to try the music styles of the younger generations. I admit that I'm a slacker when it comes to the "music appreciation exchange". I'm a 60yr old woman from Maine. Music is Universal and speaks to everyone no matter their age, gender,race,language,life experiences,etc.Keep up the awesome job you're doing my young friend . There is a music based organization that promotes world peace,education in music and the other arts and help/assistance to those in need. The organization is called Playing For Change. Sometimes famous people as well as street performers contribute their time and talents to the music/dance projects,as well as help feed the hungry,house the homeless,etc. I absolutely love PFC and the preservation of music and traditional cultures. ❤❤❤Brightest Blessings from Maine,USA.💕💕💕💕👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Ozzy Osbourne together with Black Sabbath are generally regarded as being the first heavy metal band and if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t have all the songs you’ve listen to so far on your journey. They are that important. Keep up the good work.
Whether they were the first heavy metal band or sires of what would grow into heavy metal, what I do feel most certain in saying is that, just as you say, they are _that_ important.
"One person conditioned to rule and control. The media sells it and you live the role " prophetic lyrics. Once you here it in the song you will never miss it.
Mate.. I came across your page after falling into a rabbit hole on UA-cam.. I'm an old rocker.. Your videos are sublime.. I love seeing people react to "my" music.. Your reaction to the Master Of Puppets tracks made me cry.. I saw metallica on the Damage Inc tour two weeks before Cliff passed... People that may have a pop because you've young but take no notice.. Only criticism.. Do more AC-DC 😉 Keep up the great work 🤘
Randy is considered one of the all time greats, even after tragically dying at such a young age. I often wonder how he would have grown as an artist had he lived longer. As some other people here have suggested, you should check out the song "Diary of a Madman". It really showcases Randy's classical influences.
I'm 67 I grew up with this music I love it. But what I love is the reaction you're having to it it's almost the same one I did all those years ago and thank you for introducing people of your age to my music
1980 is when blizzard of oz came out and crazy train was the first single and don’t pay attention to the people giving you a hard time I really like watching your channel
Diary Of A Madman Mr Crowley Suicide Solution Tonight Little Dolls and a ton more of killer Ozzy songs. Randy Rhoades was one of greatest guitarist ever. The tribute album Ozzy put out is awesome.
Ignore the haters!! I saw Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour in 1981 and was blessed to have seen Randy live. He was an amazing guitar player, the best ever and gone too soon. I love how you are genuinely interested in our music and truly enjoy it. Keep it up !! And congrats on hitting 30k- been with you since 9k ☺
Part of discovering different singers, bands, music is learning the back story, history and building Your own understanding and enjoyment of all of it. Keep uo the great work MollyBoy and enjoy the feelings, thoughts and journey to more music. React to 'Mr Crowley' live and You will get goosebumps like never before.
What I appreciate most about Ozzy's solo albums is the proper mix of loud, distorted guitars and dark lyrics but still having catchy riffs that can attract the ear of people who usually don't listen to hard rock or metal. I Don't Know, Flying High Again, Bark at the Moon, and No More Tears are some of my favorite solo songs
Glad you discovered the Prince of Darkness. RIP Randy Rhodes. Take a dive into this catalog for sure. Check out No More Tears next it is a banger as well as I Don't Know. You won't regret it.
Dude you are adorable, I love when you scrunch you face when shit is really good…music today doesn’t hold a candle to yesterdays, fuck those people giving you Shadé …you are young and learning grasshopper…Bless you
Glad you've discovered Ozzy and Randy! I hear you on how people sometimes give reactors crap about listening to the "wrong" version of a song, but the live material is great! There are two main sources for live material from this time: 1) Ozzy's album "Tribute" from 1987. The album was released a few years after Randy died, but (almost) all of the music was from a live concert in 1981 (iirc, two tracks were from a live concert in 1980). The official video for "Crazy Train" does not use the studio version from the "Blizzard of Ozz" album but the live performance from the "Tribute" album (although, to your point, it did get edited down!)! If someone told me they wanted to listen to Ozzy for the first time, I'd tell them to listen to the "Tribute" album. 2) The video from the 1981 "After Hours" TV show. When Ozzy was on tour in 1981, they did a short performance (4 songs) in upstate New York at a local TV studio. Besides the awesome live footage of the band, the sound is also great because they brought the sound guys from their tour instead of relying on whoever was at the studio. You can find the videos on UA-cam if you do a search like < Ozzy live after hours 1981 >. See Randy play live! (except when the director cuts to shots of other people during the guitar solos!)
Stopping and rewinding to listen again to a Randy Rhodes guitar solo is the CORRECT ANSWER. You get an A+!
Shouldn’t that be an A# if it’s pertaining to music? 😉
Rip Randy

Mr Crowley, what's that duet he does with Lena Ford?. Can't think of it right now. Perry Mason, Mr Brownstone, there's a bunch of them. I liked Sabbath, but I liked Ozzy solo beter.
Us old rockers love seeing young people react the same way we did when we first heard these bands.
The World has just started to turn for you. that solo is perfect. utterly PERFECT.
You are listening to this in 2024, I listened to this in 1984, there is a difference in appreciation, but massive probs to the younger generation for appreciating the journey of metal...
Randy Rhodes is the GOAT as far as i'm concerned. He's from where I grew up in the East of Los Angeles and the Valley....he's buried in San Bernardino cemetery...always wanted to pay my respects....such a staggering loss when he died so young....
Randy RHOADS. He's not a Greek island.

love and respect to Randy Rhoads, the legend, a true guitar hero who wrote this music and saved Ozzy’s ass from the out house pit. Tony Iomi is from Black Sabbath who had a missing finger, well I think half was missing. Tony is a great guitarist but Randy was something very special, trained in classical guitar 🎸. He taught music at his mom’s music school “ the musonia “ or something like that, hell idk how to spell it. Randy has been an inspiration to so many and the reason that so many have picked up the guitar 🎸. He was killed about 45 minutes from where I live because their last concert was in Knoxville, TN, they made a pit stop after that show, R goes on a joyride that he really did not want to be a part of but was talked into it, anyway the rest is nightmarish history. We lost one of the worlds greatest guitarists on that dreadful day in March 1982. Randy will always be remembered for his mad skills as a guitarist and saving Ozzy’s ass because Ozzy would not have had his”awesome” comeback if it hadn’t been for RR in my humble opinion. Mol, you should take a listen to both records blizzard of oz and diary of a madman. The guitar work drums bass, all of it was just outstanding. Ozzy’s best lineup, Tommy Aldridge on drums, Rudy Sarzo bass, and Randy on lead guitar. Incredible lineup, ozzy’s best ever . The solos are excellent, mr Crowley, I don’t know, revalalation (Mother Earth) Randy’s classical piece called Dee( named after his mom Deloris), my personal fave, flyin high which is off diary. Every song on both is incredible. You have to hear R. He’s amazing and still has awesome impact even today. Thanks Mol, you won’t be disappointed !
🤘🏼💀🤘🏼. 🎸. 🤘🏼💀🤘🏼
He was 25 when he died. Oh Ozzy was fired from sabbath in 1979. Randy had just been presented worlds best new young guitarist award.
❤️💙💜💚❤️💙💜💚❤️💙💜 I will always love Randy. His music lives on forever and so does he right here in my broken heart 💔.RANDY WAS MAGICAL ✨💫🌟⚡️💫🌟✨💫🌟⚡️💫
As an old person, I applaud you for listening to this music; so many people from ALL generations don't appreciate some of the creative genius of that time. I've been watching a lot of reaction videos for some time now, and you're doing okay. Anyone who expects you to automatically know some fact beforehand fails to get the point. Also, the breaks and the pauses were fine, the commentary good, and I'm sure we'll get all the gaps filled in! (I did notice your accent matched Ozzy's, small world, eh?)
Randy Rhoads was a guitar genius. His solo during Suicide Solution from the Tribute album is next level awesome.
I live about 20 miles from where the plane crashed. I drove down there on the morning of the 40 year anniversary of his death arriving ( 10 am )to pay my respects. I was the only one there and looked around at the house that was rebuilt and looks exactly the same as it did on that dreadful day. I always wondered what Randy’s life would have been like if he had lived. 😢
@@sabrinapittsley2304probably would’ve died from drugs a few years later.. Ozzy being alive is a miracle to say the least. Lol
@matthewbryan1425 Probably not. He didn't touch drugs unlike many others from the rock scene at the time.
Randy was devoted to the music.
@@McCarlKnoxville The only drug Randy was into was nicotine.
@@stuarttacey you are forgetting who he was around everyday the final years of his death. Most people start with cigarettes, then alcohol, then pills, then ___ (insert drug here). Just saying. Not that he could’ve been above it all, but chances are not 0.
As a 66 yr old dude.....I apologize for my generation. We tend to to forget that 20 year olds have never been exposed to this. We can get really self righteous.
I’m old, I’ve seen ozzy live, and have much respect for what you are doing,ignore the naysayers and share your journey.
I am an old metalhead. I appreciate you learning and hearing great music. Screw the haters. You are doing great. New subscriber!!!!! Ask all the questions you want bro!! I promise it is the younger people who think they know our music. WE OLD HEADS LOVE YOU!!!!
Here in America, you can't make it through a sporting event without hearing this song. R.I.P Randy Rhodes.
As a member of the "older generation" I appreciate you listening to our music, I enjoy watching you discover it. Remember, our music gave birth to your music ;)
DIARY OF A MADMAN
My favorite Ozzy song. I really hope he checks it out.
Tonight also
Not only my favorite Ozzy song but my vote for the best album closer of all time.
Excellent song!!! ❤
Good calls here. I always like S.A.T.O, too
thanks for taking the time and interest in our music. Crazy Train was one of the first songs I learned on the guitar. This is a musical adventure. Don't listen to those who don;t understand why you don't know and thank you for bringing us along on your journey.
Randy Rhoads was truly amazing, a died far too young. The brief time he was around left us with some of the GREATEST artIstry EVER.
10:25 Exactly 100% correct!! Love your efforts man!! You keep being YOU!!
Crazy Train is pretty good, but there’s better! I’d recommend “Diary of a Madman” if you want to hear Randy Rhoads at his peak, before he tragically died. His next guitarist (Jake E. Lee) was excellent- check out “Shot In the Dark” or “Ultimate Sin”. An added bonus- he also played in the band Badlands, and “Winter’s Call” is outstanding. His NEXT guitarist was crazy good (Zakk Wylde), and I hold the entire album “No Rest For The Wicked” in very high regard. “Miracle Man”, “Devil’s Daughter”, which has a ridiculous guitar solo, and “Crazy Babies” are just a few highlights.
Mr Crowley is excellent!
Badlands put out 3 amazing albums. Such a pity that their lead singer was such a despicable excuse for a man.
Diary of A Madman is a must.
There's a guitarist on here who does all the solos, note for note, on Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin. You can see just how good Jake was. And some of those finger stretches, man...
@@haxan6663Well Ozzy isn't exactly squeaky clean, screwing Jake out of songwriting credits. Although I'm sure that was more Sharon than him.
That moment when someone hears Randy's solo for the first time... 😍🤩
As one of your "older viewers" your reactions are great! We love when younger generations are interested in what we grew up with. You keep doin' what you're doin' my man. Your reactions are outstanding. F@%& the haters!
I did security back in the 80s but I can honestly say Ozzy was the only musician that I was star struck I absolutely froze. He was the god of metal and it was an honor to security for him back in New York.
On guitar, the man, the legend, Mr Randy Rhoades
The guitarist you heard was missing a finger is actually Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath. And he is missing the tips of two fingers... he ost them in an accident. The lead guitarist here is the legendary Randy Rhodes... who is regarded to be one of the greatest guitarists ever. Randy died in a plane accident only a couple of years after this was recorded in 1980. I cannot even imagine how he would regarded if he were alive today.
OZZY songs, MR CROWLEY, S.A.T.O, FLYIN HIGH, YOU CAN'T KILL ROCK N ROLL
Has to be the live version of Mr Crowley with Randy, Rudy et al.
@@kham1163 4 sure
Can't go wrong with ANY OF THOSE!!!
@@kham1163 studio version first then the live performance to appreciate it more
Ooh yes Mr Crowley!
I really enjoy seeing in the younger generation hearing these songs for the first time just like we did.
There were a lot of great musicians in the 80s and 90s. It's nice to see the younger generation appreciating this talent.
You Gotta check out MR. Crowley....the live version from like '81....blow you away brother....
Suicide Solution solo from Tribute to Randy Rhodes Live Album. Recorded during the Blizzard of Oz Tour 1980. I still listen to that over and over...
Ozzy is a lover of melodic songs and he has been able to explore this more in his solo work, than he could with Sabbath. Ozzy and Randy had a great relationship, both personally and professionally and I think this comes out in the music that they made together? Diary of a madman, from the second album shows just how amazing Randy was. Another sad loss.
I am proud that you are listening to our generation of rock & metal there are so so many bands you have to check out the guitar player is the late great Randy Rhodes well ahead of his time ROCK THE FUCK ON DUDE
Blizzard of Ozz was the first vinyl record I owned. My oldest brother gave it to me when he moved out on his own. I still cherish that album and still enjoy listening to it after all these years. And bro, ask any and every question you want to learn about these great bands and songs. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to know about the music you are enjoying.
Correct! Those who don’t ask questions are less likely to find answers. Not already knowing isn’t bad, as long as you’re willing to learn, right?
Same here I found both Blizzard of Oz & Diary of A Madman both unopened at my local Good Will. Crazy finds
@@KenzieTrinityDeasyNow that is what I call luck! They were meant for you, at least that’s how I would take it.
This album came out in 1980 in the UK, and 1981 in the US. Randy Rhoads is the guitarist who was a prodigy who died before his time in a small plane crash in 1982. Absolute classic.
Mollyboy. I love your channel. The death of Randy still hits me bad to this day even 42 years on... RIP randy rhoads. Mr Crowley live is a must. Suicide solution solo from Tribute is essential
Tony iommi is the black sabbath guitar player who had the tips of his fretting fingers cut off in an accident before black sabbath.
Randy died in a plane crash in 1982 rip 😢
You looked like you were about to cry during Randy's solo. I cry sometimes listening to his music and knowing he was taken so young. He was incredible
I for one will never give you shit, I'm psyched that you're giving this stuff a chance (and liking it)! I bought this album from a classmate in high school for like 5 bucks, and it was ultimately his loss. Give the track "Mr. Crowley" a listen - it's a little slower, but it's got some of my favorite guitar work by Rhoads. Thanks as always!
Ozzy "BARK AT THE MOON" wicked song, classic guitar solo!❤🇨🇦
Not Randy on that one, however. Credit for that solo deservedly goes to Jake E. Lee. Randy only lived 2 more years after Blizzard of Ozz was released. 💔
@@chrisergna617Not even 2 years. 17 months maybe.
All of us heard this for the first time once. I was 14 when I heard this. We did not have the internet. At 14 I didn't have money to buy the album. I learned from those who had the album and the DJ on the radio. Don't let anybody make you feel bad. I so appreciate that you are finding this music and enjoying it. Keep on keeping on.
This was my first exposure to metal back in the early 80s. It was just mind blowing. Been a metal head ever since. Glad you have discovered it and welcome.
I'm telling you man, you will love "No More Tears" its his best song!!!!!!!,
This^^^ is true...and introduced Zakk Wylde to us all!!!
@@mattblatchley2061 The No More Tears album with Zakk rocks, but go back to 1988 for No Rest For The Wicked, that is when Zakk joined Ozzy. :)
You know the main source of Ozzy hit success even in his solo career n the reason is he's got the chance of playing with fabulous guitarist throughout his solo career from Randy Rhodes to Zakk Wylde❤❤❤
I subbed to you a few days ago. I'm... old. Mid-50s, and, seriously, I love watching you find stuff new to you that I've loved for decades.
Check this out, I'm 46 and this absolute gem could be considered to be even a bit before "my" time. I grew up in California, but maybe because I'm Latino, I didn't even hear this one until I was like 19 or 20, and I am sure I was wearing that same stank face during that entire solo as well. But honestly, it feels kind of disrespectful to just call it a "solo"! Glad you are on the crazy train now.
So this album was released 1980 in the UK and 1981 in the States/ Randy Roads was the guitarist on this album and Diary of a Madman, Randy Roads, RIP passed in 1982 when the plane he was in crashed. The guitarist from Black Sabbath, Toni Iommi , lost his finger tips of his middle finger and ringer finger when he was 17. He was working in a sheet metal factory.
Mate, this song is 40+ years old. The guitarist is Randy Rhodes! It was the Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi that was missing digits. I am honestly overjoyed to see a younger person discovering this music. Rock on laddie!!!!
Gotta love Randy Rhoads he died about 50 miles from where I live in a small plane crash. Truly tragic! Must do more please! Hey I’m 57 and I honestly respect you Bro! Thanks for being you and being honest it’s what I really enjoy about your Reactions! You keep it real…just be yourself it Awesome!
Lived in Leesburg Florida where Randy died same place and year it happened miss him always
55 year old female in Mississippi and have been watching your channel for a bit now. Don’t change anything. Folks our age are very loyal!
I'm 48 and grew up listening to these great bands and seeing them live in concert. Don't take people's criticism to heart. As an old man I love seeing your generation discovering and learning this music. Keep up the great job!!
I am also 48 I love seeing the youngsters enjoying great music But as a GenX it's in are nature to be ball busters. That's the trouble nowadays you can't ball bust without some getting butthurt. So keep up the work young man and carry on and you do you!
I'm 46, and *_WE'RE NOT OLD._* Yet. Sure, we ache a little more and heal a little slower, but we're just a little more worn out, that's all. Still decades ahead of us until we have to worry about the kids stuffing us into care homes. I hope...
Black Sabbath "Snowblind" for sure
Snowblind is my joint favourite Sabbath track with Paranoid.
It’s a banger
I’m an older Dad, I go to my daughter’s American/Football game and they are playing this song during break of the game. Makes me smile.
Saw Ozzy August 16,1986 in Donington Park.
In High School had tickets to see them and just before it, Randy Rhodes died.... absolutely devastated... RIP the GOAT. Whole song is a Guitar Solo. just aweseome
Listen up Mollyboy… You are killing it!!! Love your channel, love the fact that you are giving this music a chance. I’m 52, I grew up on this shit man! You’re learning, fuck all the negative shit! Got to crawl before you walk. Great channel brother, keep up the good work.
Mid 50s here. Don't be bothered by the negative crap because some people just like to bring others down. I've been enjoying your videos. It's great to see younger people hear my music for the first time. That you're trying to learn more than just the sound, but the history of that culture... it's just amazing.
While we all tend to lean on the guitarists, drums, and vocals... the lyrics are also incredible.
One of my favorites from Ozzy is actually a slow and beautiful song. For dinner history: "Goodbye to Romance" was the first track written for Blizzard of Ozz, and the first song that Osbourne and guitarist Randy Rhoads completed together.
While you may not do a video on it, I still hope you check it out.
He’s a rock ‘n’ roll God in America everything he touched, turned the gold truly blessed on this album. He had one of the greatest guitarist of all time Randy Rhodes.
Randy RHOADS. He's not a Greek island.
🇬🇧 Say what you want about Ozzy Osbourne, is vocals are on point. 🎙️👌I think he's just fabulous. ❤
I for one love the pushback on the comments. Give em hell!
OZZY’S VOICE IS ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL, AMAZING VOICES IN THE CLASSIC ROCK ERA‼️IN EVERY ERA TBH‼️♥️💪💪💪
That guitarist is Randy Rhoads, the all-time guitar GOD. His Mr. Crowley guitar solo is the only speeding ticket I've ever gotten.
Early 1980s, I want to say 1981. I grew up listening to Sabbath and Ozzy as a kid in the 70s and 80s. I still love their music today❤
RIP Randy Rhoads. F*cking legend. That album is a masterpiece
The entire Tribute album is what shows the genius of Randy Rhodes. That album got me through my freshman year in college.
Randy RHOADS. He's not a Greek island.
Toni Iommi is the guitarist from "Black Sabbath" with the cut off finger situation. This guitarist is the late Randy Rhodes. This was realesed 44 years ago on OZZY'S first solo album "Blizzard of OZ". I'll cut you all the slack in the word for the fact that you're taking the time to listen to this music that myself & all of us "old men" grew up to. ❤ Much love for doing this. We all still listen..😂❤
Ahhh... The joy of seeing someone experience Randy Rhoads for the very first time.
NEVER apologize for your raw emotion to music. It's amazing, and it's a joy to relive this music through you. Keep going.
Ozzy was kicked out of Black Sabbath in 1979 after their tour for the album "Never Say Die". I was lucky enough to see that tour, with a little known opening band named Van Halen (who blew them away). Was privilage to see Van Halen on their 1st headlining tour show ever in Fresno, CA. As well as Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman tours.
I wonder what ever became of that opening band. I hear they had a pretty good guitarist.
I'm so happy that you have discovered Ozzy Osbourne (he's awesome with both Black Sabbath and solo too). I'm happy that young folks are giving older music from all genres a try. I'm one of the "old folks" and there are alot more of us without the courage to try the music styles of the younger generations. I admit that I'm a slacker when it comes to the "music appreciation exchange". I'm a 60yr old woman from Maine. Music is Universal and speaks to everyone no matter their age, gender,race,language,life experiences,etc.Keep up the awesome job you're doing my young friend . There is a music based organization that promotes world peace,education in music and the other arts and help/assistance to those in need. The organization is called Playing For Change. Sometimes famous people as well as street performers contribute their time and talents to the music/dance projects,as well as help feed the hungry,house the homeless,etc. I absolutely love PFC and the preservation of music and traditional cultures. ❤❤❤Brightest Blessings from Maine,USA.💕💕💕💕👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Ozzy Osbourne together with Black Sabbath are generally regarded as being the first heavy metal band and if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t have all the songs you’ve listen to so far on your journey. They are that important. Keep up the good work.
Whether they were the first heavy metal band or sires of what would grow into heavy metal, what I do feel most certain in saying is that, just as you say, they are _that_ important.
"One person conditioned to rule and control. The media sells it and you live the role " prophetic lyrics. Once you here it in the song you will never miss it.
Toni Iommi from Black sabbath had his fingertips cut off in work accident. Randy died in a small plane hitting house accident
Plane hit tour bus
it did clip the top of the bus before crashing into part of the residence.
Mate.. I came across your page after falling into a rabbit hole on UA-cam.. I'm an old rocker.. Your videos are sublime.. I love seeing people react to "my" music.. Your reaction to the Master Of Puppets tracks made me cry.. I saw metallica on the Damage Inc tour two weeks before Cliff passed... People that may have a pop because you've young but take no notice.. Only criticism.. Do more AC-DC 😉
Keep up the great work 🤘
Randy is considered one of the all time greats, even after tragically dying at such a young age. I often wonder how he would have grown as an artist had he lived longer. As some other people here have suggested, you should check out the song "Diary of a Madman". It really showcases Randy's classical influences.
So here’s a mind blower for you, Ozzy Osbourne is still to this day dropping new tracks! He’s 75 f***ing years old!
You are awesome, brother. I love it when the younger generations check out what us Gen-x-ers grew up listening to. Keep up the great reaction vids.
I'm 67 I grew up with this music I love it. But what I love is the reaction you're having to it it's almost the same one I did all those years ago and thank you for introducing people of your age to my music
Don't sweat the critics, loving your channel. Great to see you getting into this stuff! From an old fogey
1980 is when blizzard of oz came out and crazy train was the first single and don’t pay attention to the people giving you a hard time I really like watching your channel
I suggested Metallica stone cold crazy I really think that would be a great reaction for you
Diary Of A Madman
Mr Crowley
Suicide Solution
Tonight
Little Dolls and a ton more of killer Ozzy songs. Randy Rhoades was one of greatest guitarist ever. The tribute album Ozzy put out is awesome.
Ignore the haters!!
I saw Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour in 1981 and was blessed to have seen Randy live. He was an amazing guitar player, the best ever and gone too soon.
I love how you are genuinely interested in our music and truly enjoy it. Keep it up !!
And congrats on hitting 30k- been with you since 9k ☺
Randy Rhoads was an incredible guitarist - top 10 in the estimations of many.
Randy RHOADS. He's not a Greek island.
@@ArtieFufkinPolymerRecords someone needs to tell that to autocorrect
Media sells it and you play the role. Truer words never spoken.
Ozzzys no rest for the wicked album Is a banger
Part of discovering different singers, bands, music is learning the back story, history and building Your own understanding and enjoyment of all of it.
Keep uo the great work MollyBoy and enjoy the feelings, thoughts and journey to more music.
React to 'Mr Crowley' live and You will get goosebumps like never before.
Ohhhhhh boy I can’t wait until we get into Van Halen ❤
What I appreciate most about Ozzy's solo albums is the proper mix of loud, distorted guitars and dark lyrics but still having catchy riffs that can attract the ear of people who usually don't listen to hard rock or metal. I Don't Know, Flying High Again, Bark at the Moon, and No More Tears are some of my favorite solo songs
Ooo nice one..over the mountain next please 😁
Absolutely!!!
Glad you discovered the Prince of Darkness. RIP Randy Rhodes. Take a dive into this catalog for sure. Check out No More Tears next it is a banger as well as I Don't Know. You won't regret it.
We miss you Randy thank you for the music RIP. Another great reaction
Dude you are adorable, I love when you scrunch you face when shit is really good…music today doesn’t hold a candle to yesterdays, fuck those people giving you Shadé …you are young and learning grasshopper…Bless you
loved your reaction, glad you're getting into Ozzy now.
I suggest Mr. Crowley next!
🤠
Glad you've discovered Ozzy and Randy! I hear you on how people sometimes give reactors crap about listening to the "wrong" version of a song, but the live material is great! There are two main sources for live material from this time: 1) Ozzy's album "Tribute" from 1987. The album was released a few years after Randy died, but (almost) all of the music was from a live concert in 1981 (iirc, two tracks were from a live concert in 1980). The official video for "Crazy Train" does not use the studio version from the "Blizzard of Ozz" album but the live performance from the "Tribute" album (although, to your point, it did get edited down!)! If someone told me they wanted to listen to Ozzy for the first time, I'd tell them to listen to the "Tribute" album.
2) The video from the 1981 "After Hours" TV show. When Ozzy was on tour in 1981, they did a short performance (4 songs) in upstate New York at a local TV studio. Besides the awesome live footage of the band, the sound is also great because they brought the sound guys from their tour instead of relying on whoever was at the studio. You can find the videos on UA-cam if you do a search like < Ozzy live after hours 1981 >. See Randy play live! (except when the director cuts to shots of other people during the guitar solos!)
Great reaction, mate. This album is a must have for any self respecting music lover! "Diary of a Madman" is going to blow your mind!!
