- There are icons of each genre of music, those that really set standards for following musicians to look up to. And that leaves Ozzy. I've hit so much in metal, but only knew his name. Today, I break that expectation and fill my ear holes with his melodic sound. Melodic?
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Ozzy Osbourne for the first time, performing "Crazy Train” from the studio album.

#Ozzy #Reaction #TheCharismaticVoice
-------------
The song Mr Crowley should be on your radar for Randy’s guitar solos
Yes! The moment I stepped out of my office from recording this, it was the first thing Kirk said. "Now you're ready to watch Ozzy stare at Randy for 2 minutes straight as Randy does solo after solo in Mr. Crowley." I am excited!
@The Charismatic Voice I remember everyone in tears in high school when we heard the news that Randy had died.
I'd also suggest Over the Mountain and Flying High Again.
God that Mr Crowley solo is the very definition of epic.
@@toeman89 That was Jake E Lee, But it is good
Elizabeth's reactions are the best. Also, no one has ever used "Ozzy" and "fairly healthy" in the same sentence before.
Thank you. You got a huge laugh out of me
XD
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wish I could like this comment more than once! lol!
Lmao!! Perfect
Listening to someone discovering Randy Rhodes and wondering "if this can even be played" when he solos - yep, he's still blowing everyone away 40 years later. Bless his memory.
I remember slash tried to play it live and it did not work out 😆
All great guitarists die young why idk but dude shreds and it's also cool to see a upity person enjoy good music!!!!
@@coltonweitman1341that’s what I’m sayin who can play it with as much feel as he did?
It’s like how no one can play teen spirit the way Dave does. Thank god he’s still with us
Randy Rhodes was a 1 of a kind! There will never be anyone that plays guitar quite like he did ever again!
He/She actually isn't dead! Look on my page. I have photos of HER, alive and well and a pretty thorough explanation of the whole ridiculous but yet true scenario. Randy/Randi wanted to quit. Ozzy was a nightmare to deal with. He was like an out of control teenager who partied way too much. Rhoads was fed up, his band mates were also. I'm the biggest RR fan in the world. Yet I've come to the realization that I was fooled. He faked his death to live in anonymity. What better way to live anonymously than to live as a woman. The images are undisputable. Analyze his feature in the photos I display in the post.
A tear came to my eye when you called the solo 'brilliant'...Yes everything he played was brilliant. Thank you.
Dude.... Me too. I thought I was weird for tearing up watching her react to the solo.
If you ever heard Ozzy's speaking voice you'd understand just how amazing it is that he pronounces words so well while singing.
It's an absolute pain watching him talk without subtitles lmao
Need a reaction video of her watching him trying to have a conversation with someone. 😂
I've seen one interview with him when he was much younger where he was very intelligible. For whatever reason he had cut his hair and just seemed like a normal guy, and not this Rockstar persona. He was John Osborne, not "Ozzy!". I'm pretty sure the years of stereotypical Hardrock lifestyle has impacted his ability to communicate. I think he'd be completely lost without Sharon
There's a fine line between a Brummy accent and a speech impediment ...
@@strayling1 💯
A lot of ppl think he can’t speak, but he’s just from Birmingham!
The amazing thing for me is that Ozzy has great diction while singing, but only his wife understands Him, when He talks.
🤣😆
brummies can understand him just. he was born 5 minutes from where i live. he is my reference when americans ask me where i live. basic answer is you wont know but ozzy is from there
It is not funny making jokes about a medical condition though, except maybe the fact he wondered himself why that was and thought is the drugs until an ex nurse told him he may have Parkins
I saw sabbath live in 2015 on the end tour and when Ozzy addressed the crowd, not a fucking word got through, but as soon as he started singing his whole posture and energy shifted, and he proceeded to deliver one of the best performances I’ve seen to date, it was phenomenal
Some people will never get the true meaning of this song just because it's ozzy. Deep deep meaning that holds true today.
Yes, Randy was AMAZING, and it was a great loss to rock music with his passing.
Edit: Healthy and Balanced are not words that are normally associated with Ozzy.
I know I'm late to this party, but I have always thought "Crazy Train" is just a perfect rock song. The structure, the arrangement, the vibrance and energy of the galloping horse ride of the verses giving way to the killer hook, and of course, the virtuosic guitar solo. The song ends leaving you wanting more. Note perfect. Just a perfect hard rock song.
Ozzy comes from very humble beginnings. He couldn't afford any lessons. His father spent a whole weeks wages to buy him a amp. Hes had problems but always been humble and good to the fans. Hes popped out to sign fans records against the wishes of his security. We love Ozzy no matter what. Working class hero!
He was the son of a man who worked day in and day out. He himself worked a shit job before Black Sabbath was a thing. He respects us because he knows what it's like. He knows we're working often like slaves to come and see him, he feels its a duty to at least pay us back for it. He might be stupid rich, but he never forgot what it was like to get his hands dirty.
@@XMorbidReignX similar story with Judas Priest. Working class lads growing up around the loud and dirty foundries and steel mills of the West Midlands, a few of them even working in said places. They know what it's like to grow up pretty poor, despite their dad working crazy hours in a factory to support the family. That's why we people of the West Midlands will always respect them.
Right! I wonder if him and John Lydon are mates?
"Working class hero!"
He did a fantastic cover of that song too.
@@XMorbidReignX Can confirm. Saw him once on the Merry Mayhem tour in the early 00's. Motherfucker broke his leg hopping around, Zach played a VERY long guitar solo, and Ozzy just came right back out finished the set with a broken leg. Wasn't like some gnarly compound fracture but still...that's legit and I'll always remember.
"Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." -Ozzy Osbourne
You're picking up Randy's brilliance. The 'weird horror feels' were designed by Randy at Ozzys request to CREATE those feelings. It was all deliberate.
Damn, Randy was such a genius, it's terrible he went out that soon.
Dont forget, Randy AND Rudy the Bass player were QUIET RIOT before the moved over to OZZY for his solo albums until we lost Randy@@mr.cookey
Your reaction just after the solo is spot on”Brilliant” indeed. Randy was a renowned classical player that was leaving the rock scene to pursue a classical school of music. He was truly amazing.
Randy was classically trained. He could comfortably jump between scales and his fast legato runs and hammer on technique put him on a league of his own. Ozzy was pretty much doped and drunk the whole time during this period. I'm amazed that he could sing clearly on this album. When Randy died, Ozzy almost quit. A sad day for heavy metal
He was an absolute master of the guitar and his knowledge and ability allowed him to do all sorts of things other guitarists, at the time, would have been scared to do. He was exactly what Ozzy needed to relaunch his career and is, in my opinion, the most influential guitarist, in rock/metal, there's ever been.
The vid of Ozzy listening to Randy's "lost tapes" is one of the saddest things I've seen
I saw Ozzy in 1992 in Knoxville, Tennessee during his "No More Tours Tour". Between songs, Ozzy said "Knoxville always holds a special place in my heart because it was the last place I performed with my dear friend Randy Rhoads." Paraphrased.
The crowd went wild!
@@johnamcclintock1 - Obviously, Randy was phenomenal, but more influential than Eddie Van Halen? I highly doubt that! Every rock guitarist worth their salt learned tapping after Eddie came along and I still haven’t heard anyone do it better. More influential than Tony Iommi? I doubt that, too. The guy invented metal guitar (slightly less than) single-handedly! Perhaps “influential” isn’t really what you’re trying to say. Maybe you just like Randy more.
Even to this Day clearly 1 of the best RIP Randy
Randy was 24 when he recorded this. No one played like this before he did it. That solo is triple tracked. His career with Ozzy was less than 2 years… and here we are still astounded by his brilliance 40 years later.
The song is only double tracked especially the solo that why it never sounds right on a single guitar
When multi-tracking guitar parts, the same notes are played but they tend to be ever so slightly out of sync with each other. This is what people are used to hearing. In this song in particular, Randy didn't play exactly the same notes for the left and right tracks (which apparently was not intentional). He even mentioned it in an interview. That is why it doesn't sound right on a single guitar.
Randy gave Eddie Van Halen a run for his money. If only that plane didn't take off...
Absolutely spot on Bruce, I remember reading one interview where Randy states this, 1 Centre solo track & a slightly different solo(s) on the left and right of the centre track. Get your headphones on people & have a good listen.
Exactly. A true originator of Neo- classical shred.
The Randy Rhoads Tribute album has a live version of this and he amps up the guitar part even more for the live one. Even if you don’t do a video of the live version, that entire album is incredible
Great album
Revelation on that album has my favorite RR solo. So sick, dramatic, apocalyptic, hopeful, it's sorcery
Any time I feel like I need a smile, I will check out one of Elizabeth's reaction/analysis videos. She is a very rare, 100% positive, joyful experience on UA-cam!
The weird thing about Ozzy is,
when he sings you will understand everything,
when he talks you will understand nothing.
I recommend Black Sabbath' War Pigs and Iron Man.
So true about his speaking vs his singing voice, but I can't stand War Pigs. The intro sounds so close to The Wizard's opening (which I do like), that I often mix them up. Iron Man is good, as is Paranoid.
Klaus Meine from Scorpions sings in perfect English and talks in perfect German accented mumble.
Black Sabbath are terrible.
No taste in music at all.
Fairies Wear Boots. Just believe me on that one.
@@MetalGearTenno ok so you either hate Metal or are a sad little troll. Either way, don't care 😀
”War pigs” live in Paris 1970 is Ozzy Osbourne singing for early Black Sabbath. His voice had very much power and tone in his early years
Agreed. And something tells me there will be talk about the drumming of Mr. Ward on that video. Unequalled.
@@mattiazinfo darn right
Ozzy is amazing on crazy train and the message in the song could teach a lot of people about the realities of this world.
Watching other people hear Randy’s songs for the first time takes me back to my childhood instantly
I still dont know why his playing meant so much to me but it does
Watching someone else have the same feelings makes me feel so good inside
RIP Randy and Thank You
I would highly recommend "Diary of a Madman", it really shows of Ozzy's character voice ability and Randy's classical training.
Character - yes, vocal ability - not as much as SBS or Solitude, the latter for sure would throw Elizabeth for a loop
Diary also shows what amazing songwriters Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake were.
That's what I said too
My favorite Ozzy song.
Tbh, I know it's Black Sabbath, but I think that Hole in the Sky or Sabbath Bloody Sabbath are better representations of Ozzy's vocal ability
"That is brilliant". This is why Randy is STILL missed today, 40odd years after this has been relased. A legend in the truest sense, his imagination (not to mention his technique) was impeccable. He was taken from us too friggin' early.
I almost choked up a few times watching Elizabeth discover Randy and Ozzy through this song and how much she appreciates the talent.
I still remember that day. The chicks crying, everyone just dazed..... Early reports had Ozzy killed as well, stuck in my head forever
Randy and Eddie set the bar in the 80s. Two of the greatest guitarists EVER!
Randy was one of the most dynamic, innovative and influential guitarists of his time. He inspired many of the best guitarists of the years that followed his untimely death. What a brilliant young musician he was. 🇦🇺👏👏👏🇦🇺
The greatest thing about Ozzy he's a really good guy in person and he is huge into stage performance and general lives for it.
Ozzy was never a gifted technical singer, but he had his own style and you know him the minute you hear him. Ozzy knows a great guitarist when he hears them and he hit the jackpot with Randy Rhoads. Those 2 studio albums are incredible!
but Ozzy does have a truly unique voice that is insane, and that can't be taught
@@LightfingersKlepto Agreed. If you really want to be a popular singer, having a distinctive voice is more valuable than having a technically perfect one. Then, you at least stand out, and your passion can carry you through.
Everyone needs to remember Randy was 22 years old during his writing and playing, think of the magic he would have done if he was still alive, THE BEST GUITARIST.
Just 22. Ripped from life and music at the beginning of his prime.
He also double tracked his solos by hand.
Well that's kinda the point. He HAD to die so other guitar players after him could even remotely have a chance. If he were still alive, no one would ever want to pick up a guitar again because what would be the point? The GOAT would already be among you 😂
Jeez. I really didn’t know he was THAT young 🤯🤯
Mmmmm no. He was great but Eddie Van Halen was a god
That ultimate coolest thing about this song is the fact that it was recorded in the back of a van 💪🏼
hahahahaha....pretty F'in astonishing, isn't it?!? Omg to watch you on your first ever listen of this, just made my soul thrilled! I'm so glad you've found something you enjoy so much. Randy was, well...Randy. That's an enormous can all on its own. You know what though seriously...go get your ears on the entire Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman albums. They'll both melt your face! 😂😂😂😂 🤙
The respect you give to Ozzy and Randy is outstanding
Randy is amazing
I just love seeing a clean cut lady enjoying the Ozzman. After a lifetime of being mocked for being an Ozzy fan it is refreshing.
"Originally educated in classical guitar, Rhoads combined these early influences with heavy metal, helping to form a subgenre later known as neoclassical metal."
Randy was just a beautiful guitarist.
Helping being the key word. Yes .. he helped. But there is someone who helped much earlier in my opinion and that someone is Mr.UliJonRoth.
Not to take anything away from Randy at all. Seriously though, check him out. Original badass to bring that to the metal/rock world in the mid-early 70's.
LOVE THEM BOTH.
I hate when I hear people say it was Eddie Van Halen or Malmsteen.
@@georgetourlos5840 I’ve never heard anyone say Eddie helped form neoclassical metal
@@CygnusVoyager maybe I'm mistaken with shred guitar. I could be wrong 🤔.
I'm at the pub and have had a few.
Regardless, Uli was definitely one of the godfathers of bringing neoclassical guitar to the metal/rock world.
And Shred guitar as well.
I'm just sad that he never got the recognition. Especially for his solo 80's stuff from ELECTRIC SUN.
If you haven't heard it before I highly recommend you check it out.
The guitar work is out of this world. Especially for its time.
Cheers mate 🍻 😁
It will blow your mind 🤯
@@georgetourlos5840 Uli and Blackmore were doing the neoclassical thing 10 years before Randy. Yngwie was also doing it in Sweden before he was known in the States before Randy. Not slighting Randy but I hear more a straight up rock player than a neoclassical player. Alan Holdsworth, McLaughlin, DiMeola………..were all shredding fusion long before and bands like Wishbone Ash were doing the prog/neoclassical thing early on too along with Steve Hackett and Steve Howe.
Randy was a genius. He wrote most of this.. He uses a tremelo bar on that solo to pitch bend as you call it.. His choice of notes is genius.. He played this live every night and would add or make the solo even longer and make it better yet.. His note choices are brilliant. Epic
The voice at the end is actually his son Jack as a small child. He wasn't meant to be on the track but they all agreed it sounded good and left it.
Been an Ozzy fan for 40 years. Randy's playing still gives me goosebumps to this day.
What does Zakk give yeah
@@mrsmiles1179 Pentatonic minors in various contexts.
I was thinking something similar while watching this video a few minutes ago. I was thinking that I have been hearing this song for about 40 years now and his guitar work on this song is still just masterful. The song Diary Of A Madman might be his most impressive guitar work technically speaking but this song is just pure metal brilliance
I know, imagine what he could have done if he would have lived longer.
Me too bro
"Could you even play this?" That is what made Randy Rhoads a legend even before his passing. He did play this live. Even though it is like running down stairs at top speed teetering on the verge of falling and totally wiping out, he maintained control throughout, even adding more interludes sometimes live. Another thing that made Randy unique was, rather than just running major or minor pentatonic scales, he would often play modal patterns that were not commonly used before he came on the scene.
He did sometimes "Cheat" on the studio version and play it twice with very subtle differences like how Freddy Mercury often did vocals.
randy played with Quiet Riot long before Ozzy....js
Listen to Randys live version of Black Sabbaths Children of the Grave (Tribute lp) he completely hated playing another humans notes and boy he made that tune his OWN amazing.
@@ganjiblobflankis6581 Cheat?
@@darleneblackwood1506 Actually, he quit quiet riot to immediately join Ozzy. 👍🏻
I saw him live probably 4 years ago. He still sounds exactly the same that he did 30 years ago! He moved slower, probably took longer between sets but the concert was still awesome!
You said it, Elizabeth... imagine the music Randy would have created if he hadn't died. He was arguably the greatest rock guitarist of his age. Classically trained. I was a teen-age boy in high school when he died, and a couple of my friends and I actually allowed ourselves to cry in front of each other. It was when my friend said, "He's never going to play anything for us ever again!" Thank you for honoring him on your channel. It is always a pleasure watching someone hear him for the first time.
She had no idea Randy was classically trained. It's awesome seeing people's reactions when they hear him for the first time.
And she has no idea what the Brummie accent sounds like.
He wasn't much of a classical player, and saying his is classically trained is slightly insulting to real classical players.
@@NoName-ql1wk True, he was just starting to learn when he was with Quiet Riot and started incorporating it into Ozzy's music because he felt it fit there. That's a direct quote from Randy himself
His mother opened up a music school. He started classical guitar at age 7. He learned guitar from Scott Shelly and soon knew more about the guitar than his teacher. His mother also taught him piano and music theory. He didn't play it in quiet riot as they wanted more of a pop sound. Once he was in ozzy he started playing classically in rock.
@@pshycodragon7271 Can't have been a very good school. Just saying.
The song, “war pigs,” would give you a much better lens, to view ozzy’s voice. The instrumental breaks and stripped vocals give a truly transparent perspective into his abilities. The man helped define GENERATIONS of rock and metal heads.
yes!
My thoughts exactly
Agreed, War Pigs gives a much better look into the band's playing and Ozzy's voice. No 80's studio production on the track. There is a clip from '70 in Paris that is stripped down and awesome. Im not sure that Elizabeth is ready for this type of sound yet. She will be eventually.
Or The Wizard, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath really highlights Ozzy’s voice 🤘🏽
@@bendyrland7213 Yes the live Paris performance of War Pigs was one of the best.
Ozzy’s voice has been described as a “plaintive wail”. I absolutely love Ozzy and have since 1971
Love watching your reactions. Such a joy of hearing something new. Makes me smile every time!
Ah, Ozzy. Not the greatest singer on paper, but certainly one of the most unique and instantly recognizable.
And Randy, yeah, what a huge and indelible impact he made in such a short period of time...
*_"Ozzy. Not the greatest singer on paper"_*
Nor by any other measure! He was a Vocal *Assassin!* But what he did WORKED!
{:-:-:}
You know, I have found I am more attracted to unique voices than really good ones. Now of course if the voice is good and also unique that is the ultimate.
I think Suzuka Nakamoto of Babymetal sings a lot like Ozzy. Very unusual for a Japanese singer. They usually way overuse vibrato. This is live when she was only 16 ua-cam.com/video/g2372C5PJLM/v-deo.html
Shania Twain, Kenny Rogers, Ozzy Osbourne. They are not singers they are "song stylists". How do I know Kenny Rogers said it about himself, Shania Twain said the same thing. Frank Sinatra claimed he was a song stylist and was quoted as saying Tony Bennett is the best singer.
And comments like this one don't give Ozzy enough credit. He is a fantastically skilled vocalist, he just was never a traditional vocalist. But his OBJECTIVE SKILL shines once one gets past the fact that his tones are not traditional.
RIP Randy Rhoads. Only 25 when he died, yet considered one of the all time great guitarists.
At 16, he co-founded a band called Little Women, which became Quiet Riot. He left to join Ozzy before they found a lot of success.
Kind of meant to be. Laughing gas solo was picked and parted out and melded into what I consider one of Randy’s bests solos on the tribute album (suic solution).
When I picked up guitar in the 90’s when I was young. I remember diving into the deep lore of ozzy/bs/qr and randy quickly became an idol for me lol.
It is a crying shame he got fucked over by ozzy and sharon regarding money before his death, randy's mother fought them for years trying to get his money off them, if he would of lived he was leaving ozzy to pursue his love of classical guitar.
@@Bootchair I had a live cassette tape of that. Your right, you can clearly hear back then Randy's riffs that later came together on Ozzy's first record.
I love the look of disbelief the first time she heard his solo.
Wow. I love it!! So happy I got to see this. I first found your channel when you found Dio and was blown away to hear you describe "technically" what I have always "felt" when hearing him sing. You've done it again with OZZY! Thank you, thank you. :)
I've heard that solo thousands of times for four decades and it still gives me goosebumps.
Same
damn right man
Same way with Flying high again 🎸
Ditto okay perhaps just 800 times--
She had no idea it's about the Holocaust!
Today was the anniversary of Randy Rhoads' passing.
RIP to a phenomenal player, who influenced an immense number of musicians.
I've always loved the jauntiness of the verse parts.
It was definitely intended as a headphone listen, you don't get effect panning so much nowadays like we did in the 70s and 80s.
props on the use of the word "jauntiness". Yeah it does have that feel, I am just surprised I saw that word used properly and so casually. I also agree with the panning being different, I can shed light on why that is because I actually write and do the mixing of music and getting pretty good at it. I learned that due to the way its mixed today it is less of an effect because now vocals are layered with the same vocal (exactly the same recorded at the same time (similar to double tracking a vocal like Ozzy does but you just don't put the second layer around 2 to 3 ms out of time to get that doubling effect they have on his voice, Rob Zombie also does the same. Its why the vocals are a bit unusual.)) with different EQ settings to introduce a mix of vocals where all the highs, lows and mids of a voice is actually heard because you add a parametric equalizer setting that focuses on bass, mid and treb of each layer, and they also added an extra layer.
So you would have a main vocals track, and then do the wide stereo thing on the last 2 , panned 100% to the left and 100% to the right while leaving the 3rd layer center. It also helps when you listen on a surround sound system like the music is actually moving. MUSE is really good at that. So the way I do that is the first track is a center track playing both left and right, I use that as the bass and add a really thick bass EQ to it, then the next is mids and give it a mid boost (clapton idea, he just did it on guitar instead of vocals) and the last track is the treb and the EQ should be thin.
To get it to pan the original way you have to pan all 3 layers exactly the same, it can be done but is also time consuming so its not done all the time and panning is less used because of that. But doing it that way gives more creative freedom, you can choose the intensity of the left to right panning based on the number of those layers you decide to pan left to right. The software I use has a time marker to allow me to do that and is how I do panning so it sounds exactly like it use to. I also liked it because it moved the music in a way to not loose interest. It was usually done to grab attention or to make a longer part of a song that repeats more than 2 bars less redundant. 2 bars is the cut off for me to start thinking about panning 6 bars repeating is always gonna get panning or some sort of effect to break up that redundancy. You have to have the music move to get a professional sound and to keep people interested, its why its referred to as "sound engineering", you need quite a bit of constructing knowledge to do it and is a long process. So not a lot of folks willing to go through that much trouble and generally the light panning effect you hear sometimes is because the person either liked the sound of it or they were too lazy to do it to all 3 tracks because it throws the mix most do first some people are too worried to do that for fear of needing to re-edit the original mix. When you do it in order of how it should be done thats not a problem. So it shows they added the effect last and didn't mix around the effect. Thats something you gradually learn.
On top of that, the influence of the way Freddie Mercury sang also contributed to that, he used his whole voice and did a manual mix himself. That is why he could sing Opera, MUSE can and Meatloaf can also sing opera, its the same style. 1 voice, 1 instrument, never think of your voice as broken up in registers, if you don't cut up a guitar to play it then you don't cut up any other instrument to play it, including the voice.
So now the style has caught on with also the movie about Queen coming out and people realizing he did something different. So you have more singers learning Freddie's style and that style he did was mixing his chest voice with head voice, very operatic way of singing and is proper singing. Sometimes you hear people refer to Freddie's style as it sounding almost like 2 voices just timed very well. Its timed well because its done at the same time. The reason, once you learn it, singing is pretty easy. You can hear how I mixed Muse's new song "Don't stand down" on my channel. You can hear in the vibrato of my voice is actually happening in a chest voice but you can hear the head voice and is noticeable because they do not oscillate at the same time like that. But it sounds really good for vocals. Its how you add power to a weak vocal style like a falsetto, push your chest into it while maintaining the falsetto pitch.
All of them sing in a mixed voice and then mix in a manner to expand on the mixed voice. Its hard to do, but once you got then you got it. Took me 1 1/2 years of 5 days a week practice with 3 to 5 hours each day. At times I wanted to give up but just stuck with it, when I could get really close to that style I started putting up my covers on my channel for a record of how I sounded before VS now.
Anyway, didn't mean to talk your ear off, I am very passionate about music and love it, so your comment just sparked that thought and ADHD did the rest lmfao.
I absolutely LOVE the way you embrace all types of music, vocalists and musicians. Your love of Randy and appreciation of vocalists like Ozzy, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson .. 👍❤
Randy did arpeggios to warm up. He went to try out for Ozzy, started warming up, Ozzy stepped out. A minute later they told Randy that Ozzy had heard enough and they'd call him. Of course he got the job.
A while back I watched the documentary about Randy and at the very end they had a clip of him playing arpeggios before a show. And I immediately understood why Ozzy didn't need to hear any more - he was just supernaturally good.
The crazy thing about Ozzy is how nowadays he can’t even speak clearly anymore, but his singing is still absolutely great! His singing voice never left him
I think it's just that he's from Manchester. I can't understand a word they say.
I have hopes he will do one more tour
I also saw a comment in the premiere chat to this effect. So strange, but very true. 😀
@@Arigator2 actually Birmingham, but the point still stands :D
The speech center of the brain and the part of the brain that controls singing are separate. That's why they can use singing to teach people to talk again after damage to the speech part of the brain (which is some cool work). And why people who stutter can sing without stuttering like Mel Tillis.
When Ozzy went back to the studio 30 years after the release of this album they played the master of just Randy Rhodes guitar parts. Ozzy broke down and cried because he and Randy were very close. After he got himself back under control, he spoke of his and Randy’s friendship. He said at the end of that conversation, he said “I still love and miss my friend very much”. It was quite funny when you said that he used his voice in a “healthy” manner… the words Ozzy Osborne and healthy never collided in the same sentence… great reaction!
I remember once an interview with Ozzy talking of opening the guitar case for the first time years after. Seeing the polka dot Flying Vee and half a pack of cigarettes and breaking down talking about it.
@@jprocker6368 Marlboro reds
@@jprocker6368 yes sir, i remember that interview as well!.
I met Ozzy Osborne once he spoke to me briefly shook his hand went on my way to this day. I still have no idea what he said, but it was still one of the best moments of my life.
Randy is so amazing we lost him way to soon
To this day Randy is still my favorite guitarist. Hard to believe this Saturday - 3/19/2022 - will mark 40 years since his passing. I still remember that day.
Absolutely bonkers to think about. Imagine what he could have made had he lived even just a few more years.
I mourn this day every year. I still have the newspaper article.
Randy Rhoads was a guitar god, without question.
RIP, Randy.
Back in the early 90s in LA I had neighbor who was a classical pianist and violinist. She would perform with symphonies. I will never forget during one casual conversation about music she told me she loved Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest. She was a HUGE fan of both. I was surprised because I had made the assumption that she would not be into that type of music. She showed me her collection of Ozzy and Judas Priest records too. I learned to never make assumptions from that experience.
Yes, Randy was brilliant, and let's not forget Lee Kerslake who had those great drum fills. Lee and bassist Bob Daisley are often overlooked due to Randy's insanely great guitar work, but they were critical to the success of this song.
"That was brilliant"...truer words were never said and her facial expressions says it all...truly bought tears to my eyes...Randy Rhoads forever.
RIP Randy Rhoads!
Sure, but....what would happen if she DIDN'T like Osbourne's vocals? What would happen to her channel if she were honest? Has she ever been critical, or does she just serve praise? For these reasons, I'm not sure we can trust her reactions. She wants to be liked by Ozzy's fans.
@@billpeet1976 Go have a nap.
@@billpeet1976 why do people need to be critical, no one is coming to hear her rip one of their favorite artists. Her orgasmic reaction to Rhoads' playing is classic
@@billpeet1976 Is it your life’s goal to suck the joy out of people? How about we give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she approaches all music with a sense of appreciation for the art form.
This was the 'warm up' to the classical masterpiece, "Diary of a Madman. "
Randy was just about to career pivot into full-time classical music when he perished. Randy's last two 'art pieces' were a perfect blend of 'Classical Metal.'👻
Agreed
RIP Randy. We miss our genius.
Literally, one of the best guitar solos I’ve ever heard! Such an immense amount of energy packed into such a small space! Such an ‘iconic’ song. The lyrics, the message, the smooth drum work, the guitar solo! One of my favorite Metal songs of all time!
I'm personally a huge fan of his work in the 90s. "See you on the other side" just played on the radio and man that song hits me so hard.
The solo on Over the Mountain gives me goosebumps to this day. Randy was really something, wasn't he?
I love that solo.
Yeah it's a fantastic solo. But then all his solos were! 😎
Love that song and the solo is great.
Yes sir
my favorite RR solo!
The beauty of Randy's guitar playing is that his leads can be appreciated by guitar players, average folks, or classically trained musicians. Not many guitar players that played at his speed can hold that title. The fact that she listened to the entire solo 3 times and I'm sure nobody cared is a testament to that very notion. We miss you Randy
Randy I’d the Best guitarist in the world
It fills me with sadness that Randy Rhoads is, and has not been among the living for so long. I really know nothing, but I think Randy Rhoads was probably a super nice guy in addition to playing guitar magnificently. His track "Dee" I thought was a pretty darned nice exhibition of his more classical guitar skills. I listen to Segovia for my most inspirational classical but, as a young person, I always liked it when the metal bands I liked had some really mild extremely talented tracks. I think I used to play them for my parents to sort of placate them into not hating heavy metal.
He's a legend - still admired by us all after all these years!!!
He took Ozzy's career to a new level and more and more people appreciate Ozzy
like never before. Ozzy deserves more awards then he has. I can't see him retiring
but he's supposed to be now. I think he'll tour anyway!
@@d.mcraze6296 It's burned into your memory forever; RIP Randy, SRV, EVH, Jimi, and Gary Moore just to name some.
this is why he is in the Hall of fame, he changed the game....people who hate Ozzy can appreciate the music, I played Tonight for my wife, she loved the music, but hates Ozzy
I rediscovered Ozzy Osbourne's music just a few weeks ago and really enjoy it.
This combination of his voice and the guitar, including these very unique melodys, is unmatched. I love it!
You know as a long time fan of this song, you've managed to open my eyes to it in a couple of new ways:
1) I've never heard Randy's bends in the solo before, probably because I never analyzed it before. But, it sounds to me that he keeps time with the bends to be hidden behind the snare hit, so unless you're really listening, you wouldn't catch it, so thank you! "bend" & "bend" & "bend" & "bend" so it's a substitution of the number count in your head for when you're keeping time. So still 4/4 but with a head bob (not a bang), each forward motion is highlighted with a bend.
2) In the last couple of years I've started studying more music theory and it's awesome how you explain the usage of major and minor chords to convey not just tonality but the message conveyed. It gives me a much deeper respect for the music that I've listened to my whole life- everything is engineered with purpose!
3) I think that the "I'm living with something that just isn't fair!" part being cut off so quick is to pay homage to a childish expression of "It's not fair!" Because no kid drags out that last word.
That was fun and amazing, thanks for that journey!
Watching Elizabeth react viscerally, and sometimes euphorically, to music we've all loved for decades makes me feel like I'm hearing the song for the first time too. Her technical expertise often has me saying, "Wow, so *that's* why I like that part so much!" Plus, I mean, let's face it...Elizabeth is just plain fun to look at.
I saw something that she is expecting? Pretty sure they'll be another musician in the family.
She's GORGEOUS!
I hardly ever watch reaction videos but I watch a lot of hers because first, I like metal. Second she’s so smart. And third her physical reaction is so entertaining and great.
@@brettbabaian304 Watch her Pick Of Destiny by Tenacious D. A Haw and a half.
Another funny one is Julia Nilon's reaction to Jinjer's live recording studio session of "Pisces" and Angelina Jordan's I Put A Spell On You.
Just realized they are both Gloriously Glamourous Gingers, Radiantly Ravishing Redheads!
my grandma (RIP, 2017, 97) knew who Ozzy was because my Aunt (now pushing 70) used to play his records and snuck out once to a concert. my aunt loved it when I sent her new Ozzy stuff
I have been listening to Ozzy since I was a teen in the eighty's. This is one of those songs that I just reach for the volume knob, to turn way up, without even thinking about it. This song just plucks the rock cord of your soul.
Ozzy did four live videos with Randy Rhoads on a show called After Hours (shot in Rochester, NY in 1981). The songs are Crazy Train, Mr Crowley, I Don't Know, and Suicide Solution. They are on UA-cam. Just search "Ozzy Osbourne After Hours". Please check these out. Randy Rhoads is amazing and these are some of the only live videos of Randy.
All are magical...
Dude I had no idea! Thanks for sharing that info!
Here's Crowley Live with good Rhoads coverage:

I have to look for this ty
Here's the unedited Crazy Train version - warts and all it's awesome!

There is no shortage, possibly even no limit to the number of Ozzy stories spoken of in the music industry, but my favorite one was related by radio personality Howard Stern when they went out to dinner with their respective wives. Ozzy, presumably sober, had come back from the bathroom complaining about how he heard "the ocean" in the bathroom. Stern related what Ozzy had said at the table, ""I'm hearin' the ocean an' I'm lookin' all over tryin' ta figure out where the ocean is. I'm climin' up on a toilets lookin' for the bloody ocean, an' I finally open the window an' I'm lookin' out the window for the f***in' ocean!" Stern, utterly baffled, finally excuses himself to use the bathroom himself, and within seconds found there was a speaker piping in relaxing ocean sounds for customers doing their business. The part that left him utterly confused though, was that the bathroom HAD NO WINDOW.
"Presumably sober." X to doubt.
This was truly a super group. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo, Randy Rhodes, and of course Ozzy! What a group of musicans. Great job Elizabeth. I love your videos!
Losing Randy Rhodes so young was truly a tragedy he was literally a savant on the guitar just the most amazing solos, love your reaction to Ozzy so much of my teenage years in the 80s were punctuated by Ozzy's vocals and Randy's guitar
I love her reactions. The fact that she can appreciate music she may not normally listen to is to be respected.
Ozzy's duet with Lita Ford, close my eyes forever is both beautiful and haunting. See the video for his theatrical abilities, plus it's really cool and she plays lead guitar masterfully.
Plus Lita is another female singer with a deeper voice, which we all know Elizabeth wants to hear more of.
@@stevel9552 that's a good point too.
Lita was in the Runaways with joan Jett, and I think the bass player of the Bangles also was in that band at some point as well
Been listening to Ozzy since high school, I’m 56. A legend in rock. Great video Elizabeth!
Discovering Ozzy is one thing. Discovering Randy Rhoads is something else altogether!
Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption" and Randy's "Crazy Train" solo set the template for practically everything that followed throughout the entire decade of the '80s. Most of us had never heard guitar playing like that before!
FUUUDGE I love reading comments from people who were there
Crazy Train CRUSHES Eruption!
-Love Eruption.
-Seriously. Crazy Train is BANANAS.
@@ryleighsunshine Another cool thing about that time was you would see the music videos on MTV (or the concert VHS tape) that showed bits of how they played this stuff on the guitar, it was impressive to watch and taught a lot of guitar tricks to the 'garage bands' of the era.
@@eaytc6968 Meh.
Agree. I'm a little more biased to EVH I was young to hear him when he first hit the scene. followed by RR. But that's just me. To me neither is clearly better than the other.
I just love her! How she reacts with pure joy or raw emotion at what she's hearing I just can't help but feel what she feels. Such a sweet, genuine lady!
I am going to record a video and publish it on UA-cam, having never heard the song before. Her facial expressions, eye movements, and comments are so corny and staged. Genuine?
She's the bomb!
I have just enough musical knowledge to be a danger to myself and others, and I love how she explains the technical aspects of the perfomances, plus her joy is infectious.
Like I did the first time I heard this song, I'd like to see her listen to ironman....
As someone who grew up listening to Ozzy, songs like this become such a part of you that you know how amazing they are, but forget the joy of it. Watching your reactions and hearing the giddy excitement as you talk about how "brilliant" Randy's fretwork is really brings the joy back and I feel like a kid again listening to the Blizzard of Ozz cassette my brother recorded for me over and over.
I absolutely love these reactions as I grew up with 80s Rock and Metal - to have someone take a serious look into the talent that we all hear and the sheep of the mainstreamer all decry. Thank You !
Randy Rhodes was a guitar virtuoso. He regularly hired classical tutors on tour and most of the time ended up teaching them new things. Dee is a beautiful look into his classical abilities
Randy unfortunately didn't live long enough to become an expert at it. I will agree he was a virtuoso at guitar, but also at song structuring. He wrote music very good and knew what would appeal. Dee is pretty much just a demo but the skill does shine through like you said.
I wished we could have seen what Randy was going to do with all of that, he was truly gifted and I believe we would have gotten neoclassical a hell of a lot sooner if he had lived. He brought that more to mainstream. I think its why we know about people like Yngwie, Jason Becker, John Petrucci. He brought focus to a really unknown genre.
RIP RANDY he was really one of the best people in music in his time. People seem to always just act like they first heard classical by listening to classical music. I am fairly honest and will 100% say, it was Randy's song "Dee" that sparked that interest in me and now I listen to classical a lot for ideas. First classical style song I had heard until figuring out the Doors "Severed Garden" has its melody of an anonymous classical song known only as "Adagio" which is what it is not its title. The story behind that piece is it was sitting in a bombed library in Germany during WWII, a soldier picked up the recording of it and just brought it back as a souvenir of the war. He saved one of the saddest adagios ever written. I write music so its invaluable to me when someone of Randy's caliber comes along and leaves that kind of mark. He literally influence other guitarist but also influenced an interest in classical when it was dying. Randy is why more people know about classical, Freddie Mercury did the same for introduction in to Operatic style singing to rock and later carried on by MUSE (Bellamy uses his own style but its clear its classical and Queen who influenced him the most, or at least thats what he said, even pointing out the connection of "I belong to you" use of the French language was due to an influence from French composer Chopin)
Randy was great and that pilot had better thank his lucky stars he died in it too, if you can even call him that, he literally nine elevened that plane into Ozzy's house. How do you hit a big white mansion in a plane no bigger than a Cessna? The answer, you don't, no other pilot does. That dude had to be an idiot to wreck like that, worse decision involving a plane than even Jane Wicker, and her pilot nose dived into the ground while she was walking on a wing. They had to do the most unsafest stunt to manage to hit an object as big as the ground. Great pilot, must work for United. lol
@@evilcowboy It was not Qsbourne's mansion. They were on tour and in Florida.
Randy grew up learning and teaching classical guitar.
The family had a music studio where his mother taught for decades. In the summer of 1972 Randy would come over to the house where a friend of mine lived whose dad had a recording and audition facility set up in a large converted garage (egg crated walls, mixing boards, huge Vox amps) where Randy kept an electric guitar and would put on Black Sabbath tapes with the lead guitar track down as he would provide his interpretations of what should have been there. After an hour or so he had to get over to the family studio and give classical guitar lessons.
When Randy would show up at house parties during my high school years, those who knew him would insist that he 'sit in' with the band and play lead guitar He was phenomenal as a guitarist and a very low key, shy, and mellow human.
There was an open air bandstand at Woodley Park where people would show up for impromptu performances on weekends. I often saw Randy there, as well and later in the evenings on Van Nuys Boulevard (by 'Firestone') at cruise nights.
Randy really liked the music of Black Sabbath, even when it was a bit passe' to the rest of us. At the Woodley Park sessions and at parties everyone wanted him to play Led Zeppelin and such (which he did very well) and he'd agree to if the band would then play several Sabbath songs with his leads.
It must have been a dream come true for him to be signed with Ozzy.
I've heard a very interesting tale of how that happened, but I don't know if it's true. I had intended to ask him but never had the chance.
@@evilcowboy . The pilot was Ozzy's bus driver he was buzzing Ozzy's bus and on the second time around he hit the bus, in which Ozzy was sleeping, with the landing gear which cause him to crash into the home of the guy who owned the plane they were joydriding in, causing it to burn down. Ozzy could have been killed, too. The home owner offered his property to the band to stay on for a short time while they were on tour. He had a plane... and now you know the rest of the story.
Randy's solo... 💥
Elizabeth's reaction: "That was BRILLIANT!"
Yes, yes he was....He was a master at his craft.
Ozzie will get his second induction to the rock and roll hall of fame this year!
When I’ve had a tough day, all I have to do is watch one of your reviews to put a smile on my face…. Brilliant, joyful, and beautiful you are! Cheers!
This song is noted for having one of the top five most recognizable guitar riffs in rock history.
Ozzy’s voice isn’t doubled at all, he actually learned to harness the voice of a devil in order to sing with two different voices
This comment deserves more attention hahahahahahaha
your right...
can confirm.
Forked tongue in cheek?
Perhaps this is what earned him the title: Prince of Darkness.
I don't think I've ever gotten to witness someone experience Crazy Train for the first time. It was beautiful and sad at the same time. The things Randy could have gone on to experience and create... one can only imagine. RIP Randy.
Randy is Classically trained. He's also a natural. He is a phenomenal player. I can listen to him play everyday. He is missed. Jammin in Rock and Roll Heaven 🎸🎸🎸
I've heard these guitar riffs so many times I actually forgot how amazing they are. Seeing them basically have an ASMR effect on you helped me remember how genius they actually are.
If you want to hear more of Ozzy react to “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. Do the album version. This of course highlights the musical genius of the whole band Black Sabbath. There is a long debate on who started heavy metal genre. The Black Sabbath camp and the Led Zeppelin camp! You decide!
And it's on live evil so the comparison Elizabeth wants with Dio is right there.
Do it, but Paris 1971 live version!
Live from the end was impressive
Faith No More does a great cover of this
I think this non official video version, discover from our Tribals friends, gives it another light by current times ua-cam.com/video/LQUXuQ6Zd9w/v-deo.html
Seeing you disvover Randy brought me so much joy. It was like being back in 87 when I discovered him for myself, I was 13. The Bizzard of Oz was one of the first records I bought for myself. I was amased by Randy's playing on CT and Mr C Thank you, for bringing back good memorys.
Elizabeth, you are amazing and I'm hooked on you and your analysis!!!
Randy’s solo…..soaring. It was so damn soaring and crisp…..it was like a roller coaster ride.
Almost like a crazy train ride someone would say
@@dim9907 You’re right. I went and made a metaphor when it was already made for us in the song. Lol
The bass line is no stroll in the park either.
to do the solo you basically need to train your ring finger of the left hand with the index finger of the right hand, thanks to Mr. Van Halen
To crazy train?
Usually during her reactions, Elizabeth focuses on the vocals.
Sometimes it is the lyrics. Or the video.
But it just occured to me, this is the first time I seen her focus all her attention, on the guitar riffs!
Good job, Randy!
Randy Rhodes. 'nuff said.
Ozzy came out with his latest album called Patient Number 9 its an 80's style album in 2022 he is my favorite metal singer of all time, I love the way you "TALK" to us and break it down at its most basic level I love music always have I am 55 now I was fortunate to see OZZY live many times. Thank you for doing what you do
Your reactions were priceless glad you finally heard it Randy was so talented it was so sad that he's no longer with us.
I'm amazed that a song I've loved and heard 1,000's of times gets a new fresh perspective when you analyse it. Thank you.
If you hear Ozzy speak you'll immediately go like "how on earth can he sing?!?!?" But he sure can! 😀
...ish
I love watching people who understand music theory analyze Randy Rhodes.
Randy not only sounds amazing, what he's doing makes sense musically as well.
I loved watching you get your face melted off listening to Ozzy for the first time. Thank you for your honest reaction and professional assessment. I've ben a fan of Ozzy since I was a young teenager in the 80s and I'm sure I had the same reactions,. But after years of listening, I'm sure I've taken his genius for granted and your video has reminded me of why I originally fell in love with his music. Some other songs you may want to give a listen to are Mr. Crowley, Flying High Again, Over The Mountain and Crazy Babies.
Seeing your reaction to Randy's solo is wonderful. He double tracked the solo so clearly planned them meticulously. When this album came out it really shifted the goal posts for what was expected in a solo. This was only 1980 yet influenced pretty much the first half of the decade.
Believe it or not, Randy TRIPLE-TRACKED some of those solos.
Absolutely correct about Randy’s influence in that decade. I started singing in a metal/rock band right after high school graduation in 1982. It was very common to hear cover bands do this Ozzy song. I payed with several guitarist who could pull off the solo.
