- Get it while it's hot. There's only a few things in life that are certain - death, taxes and a strike against your account for posting an "Ozzy" cover. I received a notice that the video was blocked before I even hit the "publish" button. I filed a dispute but I'd be surprised if they didn't reject that dispute, give me a strike and make me file the dreaded counter-dispute.
Steal Away (The Night) off the album, "Blizzard of Ozz" released on September 12, 1980 in the UK and on March 27, 1981 in the US.
This was the third runner-up in the people’s choice, video selection contest. Actually, it was tied with "Mr. Crowley" but the responsibility to break the tie was left to me. And, as luck would have it, today is Randy Rhoads’ birthday. He was born on this date in 1956 and had an particularly bright future ahead of him had he not died in a senseless accident.
I was never into metal but I really did like the early Blizzard of Ozz albums (I make a conscious effort not to refer to them as “Ozzy” albums.) Not to knock Ozzy but I think what made those albums so great were the contributions made by Randy and Bob Daisley. And what’s there not to like about Bob Daisley? Great player. Great bass lines. Seems like a really nice fellow who got a bit of a raw deal out of that whole experience. He’s got a great website. Check out his bass/guitar collection. You know, Geddy bought the Zematis bass he used on ”Losing It” last tour from Bob.

I recorded this video last spring when I first got this Peavey T40 (see my “Don’t Stop Believing” video for the story on that.) I chose a couple of songs that I thought suited the sound of this bass well. I think the bass’s sound is heavier in the low-mids and lighter on the top end compared to my other basses, but is still pretty focused sounding. I had just gotten the bass and, if you hang around long enough, you might notice that I pushed the E string off the side of the neck once or twice with my left hand. I also play the ascending line during the verse a bit differently. I play the ascending notes on the G string, as Bob does, but pedal the open D in between to fill it up a little.
I liked this album better than “Diary…” because it was recorded in concert pitch and didn’t require me to retune my bass. A lot of songs from this album were on my regular practice roster when I was young and what gave me the initial idea to cover this was a video by a young bass playing friend and her brother covering this song. I’ve got a soft spot for young people who take up, the often thankless instrument of, the bass guitar, but I’m even more impressed by girls/women who take up the bass. It just seems like such a “guy” thing. Liv does a great job on the song and even throws a few Rudy Sarzo bass punches for good measure. I’d be afraid that I’d hurt my hand. Great job Liv. Keep up the good work.

no matter what, bobs bassline is the song. he did really well on that first ozzy records. totally underrated and not praised enough.
Definitely!
Bob and Lee were the best foundation.
Sounds like Daisley is having a ball playing on this track. Truly an iconic recording. One for the ages...
Awesome playing. Bob Daisley would be proud. Glad I had a chance to watch it. Hopefully it's not removed. Cheers
+Constantine Isslamow Thanks Constantine. It looks like TH-cam has changed the dispute process a little bit. They copyright holder now has 30 days to respond to disputes and counter disputes, but at least they leave the video up while the dispute is in process.
Always amazes me the versatility of the T-40.
Mimics Ric's incredibly well.
Well here we are, nearly 6 years later, and the video is still up. Nice!
Sharon either gave up or fell asleep under her rock.
I once read one of your post about getting into trouble with ' Ozzy' s' legal team! Flippin ech! There doesn't seem to be ' clarity' with this ' honest' publishing and doing a broadcast for the love of music on the TH-cam and Internet. Hope you never get into any trouble with your ' inspiring' / video, hobby, / no flippin harm demonstrations and just flippin cool! 👍❤️🇬🇧
There are ways to wiggle around the copyright stuff.
Wow! Bob Daisley, what a master! Great performance! I love your channel, It’s such a great resource to me for covers, practicing and techniques. Most of the songs I want to learn are here. Thanks!
Thank you kindly, Michael!
your one of the best bassist on youtube i would love to see a cover of i dont know or flying high again
Look, one person can’t play it right so they give it a thumbs down. Great job sir!! All of your stuff is done really well.
Haha...thanks.
Clicked on this thinking this was a cover of the Robbie Dupree song of the same name. Was not disappointed though. Excellent work!
Glad you liked it. Thanks!
Good Lord, that smokes! And that Peavey sounds like a beast! Way better than I could have imagined.
The Professor has done it again!
Thanks. Yeah, those Peaveys are great basses. There are a lot of them out there, still in great shape and still reasonably priced.
Bob Daisley really made that music sound good. Randy was one thing but the complementary of Bob is outstanding. Kerslake really added just as much. Great Job. Sounded awesome.
Totally agree! I always forget that Kerslake played on Diary of a Madman too… there was some great drumming on that record. Both he and Daisley got the raw deal.
Bass sounds amazing !
Listening to this song for years sinc I was .....can’t even remember
51 now and about year ago really heard the bass and phoweeeeee!!!!!
Gets after it!!!!
Great job man!!!!!
Thanks!
I love the ozzy and his instrumentalists, each of them is a great personality.
congratulates the bass line.
Me too. Thanks a lot.
These basses were designed with only two things in mind: to be LOUD...and...LOUDER. Honestly though, what a great rock bass! I've seen the bassist for Molly Hatchet using one of these in my video searches. Green Grass and High Tides - live. Go and check it out! Nice work, Troy...as usual...! Keep it up!
+luv basses Yes, definitely nice, solid instruments. I'll check it out. Thanks a lot.
oh my look at those fingers move!!!!!!! You're amazing Tony! KUDOS to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.
bob d. made great basslines. like this one. very underrated player. good cover.
Yes, he certainly did. Thanks!
great cover as always
Great sounding bass, great tone and feel........NICE
Not a better song was ever played on a bass guitar... Nice job Sir... BRAVO
Thanks Jack...
Awesome playing -- thank you so so much for the mention in the description, it means so much to me! Love your videos!!
+Liv Scarfi Thanks and no problem. Hope you're keeping up the good work.
That really is a great sounding bass. Glad you posted this cover, very enjoyable!
+Kreaper Slayer Thanks.
I love that number..really good playing...
I just love the sound of this bass!
+Max Maidment I like it as well.
Powerful and precise, you and Black Sabbath/
Ozzy are why I picked my bass up again after 15 years !
Much respect.
That's awesome to hear. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy!
Mate, that was awesome. Spot on.
Thanks a ton!
Que buen cover!!! re-divertido para tocar!!!
+Sergio S Thanks.
Great job and a proper bass tone for the song - well done sir
+Cigar Dave Thanks.
Love it and especially love your playing the same bass I have!!!
Thank you… Very cool!
Sounding great man, keep it up!
+Bill Banwell Thanks.
geting back to my room trying to play like this in 3,2,1... haha 😂
You make it look effortless! Its not for most of us. Great vid!
+Gary Hise Thanks. Nothing is effortless. Appearances are often deceiving.
Nice dude! Sounded sweet! Bob's smiling!
Thanks.
Awesome job, Troy, thanks for posting this one! I hope you don't get a strike, but it's been a few days and it's still up
+JimmyJames714 Thanks Jim. After a couple of days they rejected my first dispute (w/o giving me a strike as sometimes happens) so I filed a counter-dispute which now takes 30 days to settle. TH-cam is always changing their processes. Hey, could I hit you up for a copy of "Detroit Rock City" up a half step? I almost bought a Grabber.
The Bass Collection
beautiful
Thanks.
Killer, Great bass on this one, You nailed it.
Thanks a lot.
I got it and it is indeed HOT. Great job as ever.
Faz me sentir um cretino como baixista. You are great!
Não, não, não ... não se sinta assim. Eu jogo há 100 anos. Tempo e paciência são tudo o que preciso. Thank you.
Great job as always! I just noticed that the song is a lot faster at the end.
+Lance37a Thanks. I don't know if the song got faster or if I got slower.
Nice one here, Troy. So great to see some love being given to Mr. Daisley. His tone on those first two albums is right up my alley -- super MID BOOST!! I have always been a huge fan of midrange on bass guitar. Those are the frequencies that really let you HEAR what is going on. And, when dealing with things like crunchy/chorused/flanged electric guitars, having a mid-accented sound on the bass guitar is the way to go. The Blizzard of Ozz stuff is excellent. And, let us not forget that Bob was the lyricist as well! He and Randy were a great team of songwriters, players and all around people! Oh, and I love seeing/hearing you play your T-40. It's IMMACULATE! Kudos to you for getting one in such fine condition. I am still extremely curious to try one out myself. As always, thanks for posting this clip!
Totally agree with you on boosting the mids Tony. I've always mixed my tone with more mids than bass and treble. Really helps the bass cut through the mix and be heard. Especially when using the D'Addario pro-steel strings.
+Tony Kerr Thanks for the great comment. I agree with all of it. With regard to the midrange frequencies on the bass, I think that's the problem Geddy's had with his live sound since he started using the Jazz basses live. The sound is huge, but it's mostly lows and highs and not very well defined at all.
Wow, that was excellent; well done, indeed! I've always loved this song and been a fan of Bob Daisley and his awesome musicianship as a bassist and lyricist. While I am a guitar player (just an average self-taught/teaching rock/metal player), I think I found a true appreciation for bass guitar from my first boyfriend from the early to mid-90s who himself was a very talented bassist/songwriter who could read music, understand theory and gave lessons at a music store. I remember that he had an old Rickenbacker and then an Aria Pro (spelling?) with 5 strings and could play different styles of music with ease but enjoyed heavy metal/hard rock mainly & always just used his fingers. _(Mentioned the plucking vs picking just as a descriptor & not a type of merit badge since both methods are popular among bassists at every level))_ I love interesting, basslines, like melodic & intricate ones or cool octave jumps & I like when you can actually "hear the bass" at the level it is meant to be heard in a recording or show vs way too low/almost absent.
Thank you very much! I'm a big fan of Bob Daisley's as well. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave such an interesting comment!
High energy . Sounded great 5 stars =D
+David Johnson Thanks.
This totally rocks.
Thanks. I'm glad you think so!
Awesome 👍🏻
Great job!
I must admit I own this album and when I saw the title of the video I thought Robbie Dupree. (I'm getting old) Much to my surprise when it started it was Blizzard Of Ozz. 🤘🏼
+David Korr Thanks.
What a great song and killer bass line! Huge Bob Daisley fan here, thanks for doing him justice! Unlike Robert Trujillo. . .
+Polkhero Thanks. Yeah, I have great respect fro Bob Daisley. Not so much for Ozzy and his revolving cast of characters.
I agree.
I was absolutely aghast at that remaster.
Sharon Osborne should be fed through a wood chipper.
That T40 was also prominent on Journeys early records.
Fantástic !
Man, that bassline is surreal! And one thing I noticed in your videos is that you add some of your quirks like the dead notes and quick phrases in sixteenth notes. Very interesting!
Thanks Rick. Are usually try and play my covers as closely to the way the songs were recorded as possible, but some of my own style creeps in from time to time.
@@TJH3113 I've been a regular subscriber to your channel for almost a decade now. I dare say that, like me, there is a great influence of geddy's style on his playing.
REAL NICE!!!
THANKS DAVID!!!
Wonderful video as usual. I would very much like to see a cover of "The Lemon Song", by led zep.
There doesn't seem to be a decent version of it on TH-cam, so I was wondering if you'd have thought of doing one.
Keep up the wonderful work!
+A8TBeta Thanks. If I ever go full-masochist, The Lemon Song will be the first song I learn.
I like it! :)
+Gabriel Cavalcante Thanks.
Awesome.
Thanks!
Awesome playing!
Unfortunately I also experienced worldwide blocking before being able to publish. Companies like WMG are agressively blocking. I once filed a dispute, which I won, but after a few days they blocked it again.
+ThunderBassist Jay How do they know what you're playing before you publish? Is youtube software scanning the vid while you upload?
+Helium Road Yes they almost instantly know what you're uploading. During the upload suggestions for tags are automatically generated. Almost immediately song title and band name appear. So Big Bro YT is watching...
+ThunderBassist Jay Thanks. If you lose the initial dispute, you can file a counter-dispute but that's where the rubber meets the road and the copyright holder actually had to decide whether they want to haul you into court or not.
+TJH3113 I won't go that far. I'm just teasing by filing an initial dispute. ;-)
Careful you play so damn good Sharon might be giving you call next to redo the bass tracks.
Haha.
Wow
Dude🤘
Thanks Mike!
My friend Rudy says "Close!!"
What did Mr. Daisley say?
@@TJH3113 I will ask him after Rudy stops licking his fingers. :)
can u do Tonight by Ozz thanks!! Awesome!!
I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.
bob was not boring he made the bass follow the lead which is why this track is so good
TRUTH! I've never heard anyone refer to Bob Daisley as boring.
if Randy was still alive ozzy would have screwed him like he did bob and lee and claim they were just hired sidemen
Fat tune man! Love it! I REALLY Hope it doesn't get taken down LMAO
+SALTY NAT TYPE Thanks. It got shut down once more but I filed a counter-dispute and it's up for the moment.
PLEASE do a cover of tonight by ozzy
Well done! I'm curious is what do you look at at the end on your left?
+HiViz Steph Thanks. A streaker.
👍
Thanks Joe!
fuckin excellent man - fuckin EXCELLENT !!! you are the shit brotha
Thanks!
Great playing. What Peavey bass is he using in this? Please help.
Thank you. It is a T - 40.
People in the past would say all that heavy metal, just music for morons. Well that makes me a moron then and Daisley was a very underestimated bass player. There's some wonderful stuff he plays on blizzard and will trip your fingers, god knows I've tried playing this after revelation mother earth and my hands (probably my heavy playing ) feel worn down
Yes, Bob is a beast.
Man Peavey's have a great sound but they are so heavy 🙂
Actually, I think my Aria's have got them beat!
@@TJH3113 I haven't ever had the chance to play an Aria. I actually hadn't picked up my bass in twenty plus years. It's like learning all over again. Thank You for the videos 👍
Bob...
what are you plugged in to? hardware? software?
+joe blow Sansamp Bass Driver/Garageband/camera.
Is the bass driver usb or are you going into an interface via sansamp di?
did Bob play with his fingers or a pick ???
I believe he mostly played with a pick.
New bass?
+Soulreaper New, old bass.
I did a cover of this today and it immediately got struck down, I'm scared to file a complaint cause my channel has bout 7 subs, fucking sucks
🇺🇦🤘🇺🇦
☮️
Disappointed. No covers from the greatest of all time. Geddy Lee. Yes is awesome, RUSH is supreme.
Those heavy ass peavy bass.
My Arias and the Wal are/were heavier.
