This could well possibly be the greatest story ever told. Finally we get to hear it from the man who made this happen. Great story Dana👍
We agree - it’s one of our fav interviews!!
Agreed!!!!
Great story Dana, I still remember meeting you @ Taco Bell n' Backstage @ the Kiss Hot in the Shade tour w I used to talk on a daily basis to the girl who ran the Slaughter Fanclub...I'm that kid year's later 😆 tc 😉
@@80smetalrecyclebin any idea who the players where on the list?
All for the love of Rock & Roll !
Dana Strum is such an amazing storyteller. His impressions were spot on. You could make an entire movie just off that adventure.
Greatest impression of Ozzy ever!
“I pissed meself” 💀
Dana Strum needs his own TH-cam channel. I could listen to these kinds of stories for hours.
Hell yes he does! And his Ozzy voice is spot on!!
And he could talk for hours 😂
You are definitely right
We have had a tremendous response to “Finding Randy Rhoads”. Thank you all.
There Never is Enough Randy Rhoads!
"The real Black Sabbath is early Ozzy "??, the engine of Sabbath IS Toni Iommi, who tuned his guitar down to slacken strings for easier playing, because industrial accident cut off Toni's finger tips on his last day of factory work & manager from that factory introduced (musically) Toni to Django Rhinehardt who played with leather tips on severed fingertips, which inspired Toni after almost giving up guitar, Ozzy??, he was just a guy that Toni use to beat up at the same school they went to.
RR unique person and humble great guitarist best musician ever !!! 🎸🎵
Hate to think of how drastically different my life would have been had iconic moment in music history never happened! Thank God it did, and thank Dana as well! 😉
@@bikerrider4845 I think he meant early Ozzy sabbath was sabbath to him.
Rip Randy Rhoads
you where simply ahead of your time. 🔥🤘🏽🔥🍻
This is some great shit right here. He does a great Ozzy impression
i was busting up!
He's just about spot on with it.
😓 You can bet that neither Ozzy or Sharon ever showed ^him ANY gratitude whatsoever for all he did right here to get Ozzy off his useless ass and to find a fantastic guitarist who basically helped make his solo career, with more help from the other 2 guys who helped write all the music, Bob and Lee. Ozzy screwed over the 2 of them in short order too. 😈
@@HighlanderNorth1 I always figured it was Sharon or her father Don who screwed Bob and Lee over financially.
Yeah that was right on time!
That was great was caught up in every moment and his Ozzy and Randy impersonation were spot on
Tremendous story telling from Dana! And probably the most accurate Ozzy impression by an American ever! Get him back on, he must have a ton of great rock n roll stories!
Dana is so good at telling this story that I can actually get a "vision" of that event. Well done....
....and by far the best Ozzy impression (the way he talks)
Dana is a hell of a storyteller and i need more of these
He's a hell of a story teller because he's been telling that story for 30+years. Awesome 😎👍😎
Finally!!! Finally!!!! After all these years I finally hear the full story which never made sense to me before this time. Just how the hell did Dana Strum get involved with Ozzy? Finally I understand the story. Now it makes sense. Dana... thanks for helping to bring Randy Rhoads to the big time. My favorite guitar player of all time from the first moment I heard him play... and that song was Over the Mountain. We all know how it turned out a short time later. A travesty. There's no "but" to add here. Randy will forever be a legendary guitar player from the 80s. His music will live on forever.
yeah me to OzRandyMagic Drugs and Alcohol do pay off dont fly though
Very well said.
Randy Rhoads will be the best always!
Dana also knew a LOT of people in Hollywood, which is a huge reason why he got hooked up with Ozzy. Randy didn't even want to audition. He didn't like Sabbath's music and it was only because his mom practically pushed him out the door that he went. He was content being in QR and teaching at Musonia. So between Dana AND Randy's mom, if they both hadn't played a part, it would've taken longer for us to hear of Randy. I don't think that Randy would've stayed an "unknown" for long. His talent was too huge to be contained forever.
Ozzy can piss in my crappy car anytime!😆✌💛🤘
I laughed so hard. Thanks, Dana, for giving the accurate details of Randy's audition. What a wild day you had that day. You do Ozzy better than Ozzy does Ozzy.
80s MRB congrats the Randy Rhoads family for the award from RnR Hall of Fame for "music excellence". Long time coming! Hoping the presentation is one that honors the music legend the way he certainly deserves.
I hate the Rock Hall but this is awesome. Well deserved and long overdue
Can you tell me the name of the band in the outro music?
@@ModernDecay70 sounds like koRn to me
Thanks for this. It was a pleasure to picture the events happening as Dana reminisced. Much respect Mr Strum.
Hey folks we are very sorry but we had to re upload this due to a slight glitch we noticed. All good now and thanks for watching.
What an amazing interview. I've read so much about Ozzy and Randy over the years and particularly how Randy got the gig, but never in this much detail. This is some historical footage. Nice work.
Is their a part 2? This was amazing!!
This was Dana's 1977 to 1979 Band at the Starwood mentioned , it was BadAxe , we found it and posted it ; th-cam.com/video/BA4j6qyMkAo/w-d-xo.html
@@rickjohnson426 thanks for the info
Watched this 4x and shared with friends. Yours in the only channel I subscribe to that I want to see more of!
The impact of the story he's telling cannot be overstated. Every band, every concert, every video on Headbanger's Ball would have never happened if it wasn't for Randy and Ozzy crossing paths. Steve
The part where Dana ran into Randy and Rudy on the street was priceless! Dana, you need your own youtube site.
Most definitely 🎸🖤🎼🎶🎤
Wow, Dana is a great story teller. I loved this.
the impression of Ozzy was spot on
I was on the edge of my seat !
Yes, he really is.
This was Dana's 1977 to 1979 Band at the Starwood mentioned , it was BadAxe , we found it and posted it ; th-cam.com/video/BA4j6qyMkAo/w-d-xo.html
@@rickjohnson426 Very cool thanks for posting that recording
One of the greatest stories I ever heard I don’t understand how this doesn’t have over 1 million views!!
Finally. The story straight from the source. And it's cooler than we could ever imagine.
And man, Dana does the best Ozzy impression!
I'd like to imagine if Randy had lived, he would have told this story with Dana and they both would have made Ozzy impressions.
I actually had chills listening to this. I started playing guitar in 85 because I heard a dude playing Ozzy in his garage with a drummer buddy of his. 2 weeks later I had my first guitar and became obsessed. 30 plus yrs later I still listen to NOTHING but 80s metal- Ozzy, Ratt, Dokken,Scorpions, etc. This was the most important interaction or alignment of the stars in my existence, and I was just a drop of water in an endless sea. I was actually pissed when the meeting with Randy and Ozzy the day after the audition wasn't elaborated on. Dana's Ozzy impression is pretty damn good. Steve
Yeah I remember you. lol
In a perfect world, this story would have been about how Dana talked Randy out of getting on that fucking plane on the morning of March 19th, 1982.
Wish he would’ve
@@80smetalrecyclebin definitely and imagine if Dana was in Ozzy at that time
@william bush No one could possibly know that Randy said anything like that, that morning. Everyone on the plane died in the crash.
I know Dana's had that conversation with himself many times. Randy Rhoads will be missed by all guitar players born after 1950.
@william bush How does anyone even know that? Everyone on the plane died.
What a great story teller Dana is. And one of the best Ozzy impressions I've ever heard. All these years I often wondered what the real and detailed story was.... Too bad the audition was never recorded. A big thank you to Dana for bringing Randy into Ozzy's orbit and ours. We are forever grateful.
This was Dana's 1977 to 1979 Band at the Starwood mentioned , it was BadAxe , we found it and posted it ; th-cam.com/video/BA4j6qyMkAo/w-d-xo.html
The video editing also helped convey the story nicely. Great stuff!
This is a great story. Dana's Ozzy impersonation is amazing.
finding Randy Rhoads is like being the guy who discovered plutonium...forever a legend.
Really?? Who the fuck discovered plutonium?
@@Bartockamus is google a concept or a search engine in your world?
@William Jeffersoninsecure hacks thinking I'm a moron is funny, especially when I'm confident they're less educated than me I get why some might think I'm a moron since I use logic and common sense, which is their kryptonite. Used like a whipping boy, is that code for getting people to block me as they try so hard to get to me. You must be confused on who sets the agenda on there.
@William Jefferson again, those people on there making themselves feel better by pretending I'm mentally challenged or dumb because of an innocuous music take is great entertainment for me. You should see my work on metalhead groups where they come hard at me, and it Inevitably leads to them getting knocked out with a verbal combo and them having to block me. As soon as someone gets into the ad hominem attacks, I know I've hooked them. But I question when saying the sky is blue is tantamount to trolling. I only believe what I say because I understand reality. Not much trolling in pointing out Randy Rhoads or ed van halen are A leagues....
No kidding! Like discovering fire for the first time.
"We're gonna see your Jesus guy later." 9:07 Yeah, Randy definitely 'resurrected' Ozzy's career that's for sure.
*Randy, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake did the work in "Blizzard Of Ozz"*
@@jontodd2 So True. It was a perfect union of musicians.
Awesome story! I’ve believed forever that Randy put ozzy on the map. Diary of a madman is the greatest album to ever grace the metal world. Thanks for being the guy that made that happen!👊🏻
Well said ! Diary has been my all time favorite record since the day I bought it at 16 years old (late 1981) it's probably the greatest Heavy Metal record in the history of Rock and Roll . Just a timeless Masterpiece
Not a big Sabbath fan, are ya?
Dana was truly the instrument of God. I had no idea Ozzy called Randy "The Messiah" before they met. I could write books about the way Randy changed my life, and through that, countless thousands more.
Thank you Dana Strum for doing your part, believing in Randy, and having such patience with Ozzy. Little did you know you were changing the world.
That's a great story sir. I'm a musician too and hopefully one day I can make that change.
The ‘combo amp’ of Randy’s Dana is refers to was a Pignose amp-a truly tiny little amp you can hold in one hand that has KILLER tone. Seriously, these amps sound incredible-especially miced up. What a lot of people don’t realize is that smaller speakers ‘break up’ better and sound HUGE under a microphone-You get massive tone and sustain, and crazy good distortion. In fact, many guitar legends use them in the studio, and that’s what Randy had that day.
Thanks for this info Glen. Keep watching.
That would be 100% WRONG. The combo amp was a Fender Harvard and the MXR pedal was a Distortion Plus. The amp Randy used at the Starwood that Dana wanted was a Peavey head with a cabinet that was loaded with 6 Alec-Lansing speakers.
@@acepaul407 I’ve read an interview with Randy and he specifically said he played a Pignose when auditing for Ozzy. He also said he didn’t even get to properly play, he was just warming up, essentially and Ozzy perked up and said “you’ve got the job’
@@glengamble526 Randy never owned a Pignose.
I heard it was a fender champ? MXR disto plus fer sure tho on the pedal tip love mine all day w my 07 Gibson FV axe o yes thank ya Lord!
I want to hear the next day about the Le Parc hotel meeting
Me too
YES!
Right. There should be, part 2.
And the part Did Ozzy do anything to Dana for pissing his car ? I really wonder that
I've heard the story years ago. Dana brought Randy to Ozzy's hotel room, and Ozzy seeing him for the first time asked, "Are you gay?"
Gotta say! Probably the best rock industry story I have ever heard. Rest In Peace Randy! You were the man *
All those years i could have been talking to Dana about cool stuff like this.
Dana is an amazing story teller. The story of Dana getting Randy the gig is well known. But hearing it told in THAT way? WOW!!! fills in a lot of gaps. If a movie ever gets made, I hope the film makers tell it like that. Not bloody likely....
This was Dana's 1977 to 1979 Band at the Starwood , th-cam.com/video/BA4j6qyMkAo/w-d-xo.html
This story is AMAZING... all Dana's hard work paid off, that "non" meeting changed metal & hard rock forever!
This has to be one of the best rock stories I've ever heard. Dana is a phenomenal storyteller. He puts you in that place in time.
So glad you got "THE" story from Dana Strum!! Such an L.A. Urban Legend☪️
Thank You ☆80's Recycle Bin☆
That was going to be the Blizzard of Ozz band Ozz,Randy,Dana and Frankie Banali before it was decided to go to England and could only take one person..and it wasn't Dana or Frankie RIP.. RIP Randy. If Sharon omits Dana's contribution of Ozzy's story and doesn't have someone play Dana in the upcoming Ozzy biopic i won't even fucking bother watching it!!! What a key and pivotal mement in Randy's and Ozzy's life that could not have been told any better than the man responsible for PAINSTAKINGLY making it all happen!!! Credit where credit is due to Mr. Strum!!\,,/
Excellent story every Ozzy and Randy fan should hear. Well done Dana. Thank you
That was really entertaining. Love it that he impersonates Ozzy and quite well too.
What's the old saying? "Its the little things that mean a lot" (That piece of paper he kept with the number on it that connected him to Ozzy ) has created so many careers and great memories. And as far as this being a great story. IT ALWAYS IS, WHEN ITS THE TRUTH. Thank you Dana. (A lotta people owe you.)
Dana is a great storyteller. His impersonation of Ozzy was outstanding.
Dana.Thanks for the story brother..You truly gave the world a gift when you Persisted to bring Ozzy to meet Randy..You KNEW what would happen didn't you??..Truly thank you Dana..Randy and Ozzy...you did it man...I've known the story of how you brought them together but to hear the details about how you thought every little thing wasn't going right were just awesome to hear.. Thanks again
This was Dana's 1977 to 1979 Band at the Starwood mentioned , it was BadAxe , we found it and posted it ; th-cam.com/video/BA4j6qyMkAo/w-d-xo.html
I met with Rudy Sarzo this week.and he Told Us incredible story with Randy Rhoads, and how much he learned from him musically, and the road after , incredible interview with Alex Grossi, And Rudy , fantastic guys and was great, also Met Dana Strum at the same event, me being a guitar player, it was full circle even after all these years, Please support these guys and Music history.
the legacy of Randy Rhoads keeps growing with the loyalty from people like Rudy Sarzo and TOmmy Aldridge, Randy
an all time-A leaguer
Outstanding storytelling here. Long Live Randy Rhoads!
Dana cracked me up the whole time I was watching. Great Ozzy impersonation by the way. I subscribed soon as I saw who it was. As a bass player myself I've always enjoyed Dana. Awesome interview.
Me too I love the guyxx
Huge Ozzy fan here. I read off the rails a few times and Ozzy's book a few times. All these years gone bye and I get to here the real story of how they met now! Better late than never. Awesome story
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! Thank you Dana
What a great,great story!!!!Thank you!!!
I have heard this story a million times from Ozzy but this was incredible!!!! Makes the story a million times better and totally verifies what Ozzy has said. Ozzy did his best solo recordings with Randy and that is saying something because he went on to make some seriously awesome songs. RIP Randy, taken far too young
Wow such an amazing story! I've heard bits and pieces of this story throughout the years so great to hear the whole story from Dana himself.
This is an AMAZING story! I could listen to Dana talk for hours ...
This story is finally starting to make sense. Dana Strum rocks!
Dana, great story and awesome impersonation of Ozzy. Very entertaining!
This story almost brought tears to my eyes 👀. It's musicians and stories like this our kids will never be a part of nowadays. I'm going to listen to it again.
It is even better than what I imagined…
Kudos to Dana Strum!
Dana Strum does the absolute best impersonation of Ozzy I've ever heard!! Lmao every time I watch this or the Randy Rhoads documentary!
he nails it does a better ozzy than ozzy does these days
This is simply the greatest interview I have ever heard in my life. Told by the only person that can tell the whole story. I'm glad it's out there to keep the story straight. His Ozzy impersonation is excellent too. Thank you Dana!
Did Ozzy deserve to have Randy as his guitarist coming out of BS (uh, black sabbath) and being so irresponsible? I just have such negative feelings on the whole thing and the whole Sharon thing where she cheated so many out of the $ they rightly deserved. But Dana tells this so well, you can't stop listening if you know anything about Ozzy and Randy.
They did the same thing to Brad Gillis right after Randy died, they both also treated Brad like shit.
@@tf7223 Unless you were there you know nothing but rumours.
@@tf7223 And George Lynch too, he left his job when Gillis was going to get back to Night Ranger because Ozzy offered him the job and in the end he gave the job to Jack E. Lee. Of course, George Lynch never got paid the weeks he went on tour getting ready to take Brad's place.
I just got done reading Bob Daisley's book. Sharon is a snake. Ozzy also changed for the worse as well. Sharon, although being responsible for Ozzy's post Sabbath carrier, was a bad influence on his character.
I can't help but think that fortuitous meeting also led to Rhoads' untimely death.
This is one of the coolest stories I’ve ever heard.
Oh my god that’s such a fantastic story. It’s just amazing then he imitates Ozzie so well.
Love all things Randy and this is a great story to hear!! Now if we could only get one of the many professionally filmed shows that Sharon's been sitting on for 39/40 years that she absolutely has!! I can't think of any musician who deserves to be seen in all his glory more than Randy!!
Met Dana in mid 90's in Maryland..great guy..very smart.
Absolutely amazing story and his impression of Ozzy is on point.😂😂
Thank you, Dana!!! You brought about Rock getting its greatest gift of all.
Dana's a great storyteller. I rarely watch TH-cam videos all the way through but this was the exception...and it was exceptionally entertaining. As a lifelong Randy fan that's the story I wanted to hear.
I’ve heard em all.And this is one of the greatest stories ever.
as an Ozzy fan since 1987 & Slaughter fan since 1991. This story is awesome
Wow, I'm f**king speechless!! I finally get to hear the story that I've wanted to hear my whole life! I'm f**king speechless.
What a great story! Dana Strum is one of my favorite bassist. It’s cool to see interviews from him.
What a great interview... I really didn’t want this to stop. Also... Dana does an amazing Ozzy impression !
dude. THANK YOU DANA. and thanks for ya'll postin this incredible interview. all of them have been good and all to be sure but this one is my favorite by far. gonna check out part two now.
That story is kick-ass!
What a great upload.👍
They should make a movie about this and the whole Randy Rhoades saga.
What an amazing retelling of a legendary story! Thank you Dana, not only for the story but for introducing these two people that have made such a monstrous impact on my life together. One of music's most important moments in history and you made it happen!I couldn't possibly thank you enough! Also, by far the est Ozzy impersonation I've everheard!!!
Great job on the interview. The B & W gives it a historical like effect. The story reeled me in. I kept inching closer and closer in my seat and I am watching this on my laptop. I can't get any closer than that. This story appears to be one of love. If Dana was selfish and thought about his career, no way, no how would he show Ozzy this guy or that on his own dime. He pitched his favorite; "Messiah" as Randy Rhoads was called, instead of saying, "me, me, hey hey, I am right here. Your biggest fan". He indirectly introduced me to Gary Moore who I googled and found some incredible music by. Like phhst, he nailed it, and no, I did not piss my pants cus I was excited hearing it, drunk, or otherwise. It is a different style of music that is not Ozzy. It's breathtaking in its own form. This story is one of those for a documentary. It could go any direction with any one of them to meet up in the middle. I'd watch each one. Who would be first? I would lean in this case towards Dana Strum. Simply because he is the Messiah in this case. Someone who didn't walk away and say find your own man and good luck. He said, ok, let's see what we can do, and did it by going that extra mile and 5 mins to 4 to do it in. That's a guy with heart.
I just watched the latest Documentary about Randy Rhoads. It's adequate considering Nobody, including the Osbornes would release anything that isn't already out there. However, there IS a clip of THIS interview in it! Here's an interview wth guy who made the doc that includes the clip of Dana. He's talking about what a pain in the ass it was to get cooperation of any kind, from anybody in getting the film made. th-cam.com/video/fnTAyvDncIY/w-d-xo.html
A debt of gratitude from every metal fan for your determination.
Dana is extremely Grounded, Smart, Insightful, and an AMAZAING Story Teller.
Awesome! Randy was my favorite guitar player of all time! Love when these gems come out to learn more about him and him with Ozzy!
Will there be a part 2? The next day meeting??
please yes! great idea
I've been waiting to hear this story for 40 years....amazing!!
That. Was. FANTASTIC!! I'm totally inspired!! 👏👏👏👏
This is pure gold for Ozzy and metal fans like myself! Thanks
Dana Strum is how I discovered the elusive pizza bottle actually exists. I always thought it was just a myth. I can now die a happy man.
Lol pizza bottles.
If you drink enough, long enough, they will come.
Funny
I rewound that a number of times. He really did say "pizza bottles". Yes. yes he did. I'll be gotdamned. Ok then.
Ozzy will drink anything. Even pizza 🍕
Dana does the most spot-on Ozzy impression of all time. And, more importantly, tells it exactly how it was. Music love to Mr. Strum. 🤘
Very Cool Story!!! Dana had my Undivided Attention From The Start.....💯🤘🍻🎸🎛️🎶🎙️
After all these years, fricken fantastic story!
Well then thank you very much Dana Strum. A lot of people owe you👍🏻
Such an AWESOME story!!! Thanks for this!! Evewryone involved! Thank you all!
Best story ever!!!
Wow!!! Fantastic! This was amazing! Thank you Dana 🤘🏼🔥🔥🤘🏼
I've never heard the Randy audition in this detail before. It's great to hear the behind the scenes stuff like this!
Up until just recently, I was privileged to tell this story, as it was told to me BY DANA STRUM HIMSELF. I picked him up at the Spokane International Airport for a publicity tour that ended at the radio station I worked for in 1995, ROCK 106 SPOKANE. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing?? It was the greatest rock story ever told to me by a person who ACTUALLY LIVED IT! Dana, you are a great ambassador of Rock and Roll, I hope to see you again sometime.
Dana my brother, I want to publicly THANK YOU for being a hero to so very many Las Vegas musicians, as well as many others. You still have "IT", that God given "gift of gab"! Lol... As well as drawing everyone listening INTO your story and your "world"! You always were THE GUY THAT MADE THINGS HAPPEN, and obviously with your work with Vince and everything else, you still are. Thank you for all you and Mark did for the early Vegas scene. Without you guys, Imagine Dragons, Panic at the Disco, and many others would probably have never gotten noticed... Also for the inspiration you guy's were to all of us and especially including me. You guys dragged a "nobody local band guy" around with you to ALL of the major Vegas rock music events! You may or may not figure out who this is, but THANK YOU MAN! (AND MARK TOO!)
(And let's not forget Tim and Blas!)
God bless and take care...
Randy was and always will be a HUGE influence on my playing so this gets filed in my "one of the best stories ever" category. And, Dana? You are the man for holding him to his word. Actually, you are the man anyhiw. Loved your playing and production work in VVI. And the same goes for Slaughter.
And thanks for getting Randy heard.
AMAZING!!!!. Thanks so much for this video🎸🎸Dana is a great guy..and incredible story teller😊😊
Thank god for Dana Strum.
When I saw it’s 20 mins long, I was about to switch to another video.
Glad I didn’t. It was such a great story of one pivotal moment in history of rock n roll. And Dana was great story teller! His Ozzy impersonation was spot on! ❤️it, and yes I subscribed your channel
That was a great story!Always knew the highlights of how it went down,but hearing the backstory and minute details straight from the horse's mouth,made it even better!Thanks a lot!
Epic. Thank you sir.
Thank you. Randy Rhoads is my favorite guitarist. It is cool to hear the story from Dana.
I met Dana at the west palm beach auditorium when he played for Vinny Vincent's invasion... they opened for Alice Cooper 87 ? Tour... I was just a 13 year old punk with a black metal t-shirt.. he was the coolest guy I ever met... signed my cassette tape for Vinnies debut album... great show 👏
