Randy inspired a whole generation of guitarists, and many generations after. Although his life was tragically cut short, he left his mark on this earth.
@@timdunn1979 You are right sir. My brother has been battling his demons since he was 17 yrs old. I still love my brother and worry deeply about him. I saw him yesterday, cause I had to bring him his mail. And it made my heart break into pieces. I wish with all my heart he would accept help, and go to rehab. I don't want to lose him. It would kill me.
I just watched his new video "Straight to Hell" He sounded good....BUT the message and the lyrics were NOTHING like they used to be! Was disappointing.
Ozzy is one of the most positive artists around and has been putting out messages of peace, love and independent thinking for the last 50 years but people are like "LOL he bit the head off a bat and pEeD oN tHE aLaMO"
Maybe that's because "socially conscious, loving musician" (which he is) doesn't sell as many tickets as "evil, hate filled, prince of darkness" (which is who he portrayed)
@@artrock101 He didn't write most of the lyrics himself, but he was involved in the song writing process. His fingerprints are on the song at the very least.
Rhoads had the smoothest guitar tone and slickest left / right hand coordination ever. I don't listen to Ozzy for his song, I listen to Randy's playing. Ozzy loved Randy and always seemed so proud of him on stage, like a father is to a son.
I watched that series that Ozzy and Jack ( his son ) did. They went to Iron Mountain ( it’s an information depository ) and the guys there had the master recording of Randy’s guitar track for “Crazy Train “! It was JUST the guitar! He was truly something next level and his passing was truly terrible.
I’ve been listening to this song for 40 years and never really followed along with the lyrics until watching your reaction today. Thank you, Jamel. I Just subscribed!
Chipper Jones' AB music for at least the last decade of his career with the Atlanta Braves... and I think he admitted getting it from Larry Walker back when the Montreal Expos still existed
For the record, the guitarist on this version of Crazy Train was Randy R. He died in a plane crash very young, but still cemented himself as a legendary guitarist in his short years. In a top guitarists lists his name is usually present.
Deep lyrics has always been apart of Ozzy, "War Pigs" is deep most important song ever recorded and "Fairies wear Boots" best musical riffs ever and another deep, deep song my all time favorite.
I honestly think War Pigs is the best rock song of all time because it has deep protest lyrics combined with amazing music and hard rocking. Ozzy had some great things to say
So many people in the 80s thought Ozzy & Black Sabbath were evil devil worshippers, but so many of their songs were anti-war & had deep meanings regarding people needing love. They just rocked so damn hard that "squares" wrote them off as evil without really listening to them. Of course, most of these same people now know at least the beginnings of these songs bc they are played at NFL/MLB/NBA games.
I’ve always felt that when Ozzy was being interview he should reply by singing his response. Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman were two terrific albums. RIP Randy Rhoads.
@@ArkaeaFCL3 Probably the same reason people don't talk about his Prince of Darkness collection - lack of access. Ozzy doing N.I.B. with Primus was fucking beautiful. Can barely even find it on the internet, let alone talk about it.
@@DakodaOK true. I had to look for a long time to find that album or the collection. But I do think that there's a lot of very underrated songs included in both.
It's amazing how so many of these "classic" songs are still so appt for modern day. I've been listening to this song for a couple of decades which even when I started was well after it was released and it still holds up not only musically, but the message holds up maybe even better today. Just a thought.
I was a teen when this came out...until I started watching reaction videos I had no idea how amazing the lyrics and intent of the song were. Some of us are rediscovering and finding new meaming in classic rock songs...well, at least me :) Peace!
As a teenager I was dressed in my metal gear including an Ozzy jacket. THese (about 6 ) young crazy religious cult like assholes were talking to me in a store. THey kept looking at this ONE adult they were with who was maybe 20 feet away down an aisle. They were trying to convince me metal was the devil esp Ozzy. I was spewing out lyrics to counter their pathetic argument like the one you mentioned. THey were trying to say that was a lie and they are pretending to say that to trick us to become devil worshippers. They started to get closer and closer to me, and a few of them kept looking at the adult, until I was surrounded in a circle. They were already creepy but now I was scared I literally might get kidnapped I PUSHED two of them out of my way and ran the fuck out of the store.
@Jack Bauer Ozzy has stated many times, it was thrown on stage and he thought it was fake, like all the other shit thrown on stage. He didn't love having to get rabbis shots and stuff.
At the beginning of the song, I love how Randy Rhoads makes the guitar screech like the metal on metal sound that a locomtoive's wheels make against the iron rails when it starts gaining momentum! Sweet!
This is a little aside Jack and Ozzie did a show where they went around the country and went to different places and they went into this mountain where they keep all these old masters and Ozzie listened to this and he hadn’t heard the original demo strip down since Randy had died and he started crying it was so touching
"Crazy, but that's how it goes. Millions of people living as foes. Maybe, it's not too late, to learn how to love and forget how to hate." Indeed Ozzy, indeed. ~April Lipke
Well, there was all that business singing about Satan from 1968 to 1978... the song Black Sabbath is still pretty dark.... and then theres the original draft of what would become War Pigs where he sings about throwing a priest into a fire... Although, you're not wrong; see, the two are not mutually exclusive.
I wouldn't go as far as calling him a "good dude", but Ozzy definitely changed a lot and plenty of his songs actually have pretty good messages. Actually a lot of the older metal/rock guys back then had the bad rep, but the good songs. Hell, Dio literally has a song about rainbows and the Karens of today would still call him a satanist.
I grew up in the 70s, with 50s music and 60s music my parents listened to. My moms sister my aunt got me into rock n roll kiss, ozzy and so on at 6 years old in 1976. I love all styles of music, its the music and the lyrics that move the body and mind!
Imagine what a shock this song must have been at the time. Ozzy had been kicked out of Sabbath and was holed up in a hotel drinking and drugging when his future wife Sharon convinced her father to sign him as a solo act as she became his manager. First single? The legendary Crazy Train. Even with Dio raking over briefly as singer Sabbath, Ozzy's solo career eclipsed post-Ozzy Sabbath, something most would never expect had they seen the mess he was in that hotel room.
I don't have to imagine. I was there. I remember when this album dropped. Saw them touring on the next album Diary of a Madman at the Cow Palace. Randy was fucking amazing. I've seen thousands of concerts since then (it was my second big show) and nothing compared to that show. I also don't have to imagine how it felt when I heard Randy was gone. I still feel it. Exactly like that same day.
RIP Randy Rhoads! If you liked this track, I highly recommend "Revelation Mother Earth". The live version is incredible, and it will display how little these musicians relied on the studio in order to get this sound.
Used to go see the original Quiet Riot at the Starwood in L.A. in the late 70s. Randy lit up the place the the moment he hit the stage and you could tell he was destined for stardom. This makes me both happy and sad at the same time. Miss you, Randy.
From Ozzy: Mr. Crowley, Journey to the center of eternity, Dairy of a madman, Suicide Solution, Over the mountain, Bark at the moon.. Just about all are worth listening to though.
The person who did the lyric video probably fell off the crazy train and hit his head on the ground cause damn, that was painful to read. So many spelling errors! Was it made by Joe Biden?🤣
@@bamaG1966 I kid you not that I made a statement on my facebook yesterday about Lose/loose. Actually it was "loosing" that I made a specific reference to.
Steve Vai on Randy Rhoads' Crazy Train solo: “I remember when I first heard ‘Crazy Train’ and then its freight-train of a guitar came screaming in." “I think it’s the first rock track I heard where the solo came in and got scared.”
Ya gotta wonder how the hell the oz. Sounds the same as he did watching concerts in 1971 and still unmistakably oz on 2020 still all these years and ya no that voice. Thanks for sharing with me so so much of my young years and letting me remember all
Enjoyed him on the National Mall during the Rally for Sanity hosted by Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert. That was probably the one event in my life i will never forget. I never in my life thought that there would be the huge crowd that it was; but it was amazing to see all the 'regular' people that are never heard.
@ti portangeles no way that's crazy!! haha i'm 27 and this is my favorite band for almost all my life , they taught me some many thing . it's crazy how people of all ages come check to see my man Jamel AKA Jamal react to this beatiful songs that we all love
@ti portangeles Light comes from Dark . healthy music put you in a good mood but sure. i listen a lot of different types of music and for every type i had like a favorite artist kind of haha for heavy rock and roll music forever will be this dudes !
It should be noted that these lyrics (like most of the songs on these early Ozzy solo records) were written by Bob Daisley, the bass player, whom Ozzy screwed over a few years later...
Just purely out of curiosity, did he ever write lyrics/music going back to 1970? If so did he write, in has last albums with Sabbath? I know was deep in the bag at this point in his life, and it was only going to get worse, Randy's death certainly didn't help. It sounds like Ozzy was only the name, they needed in order to sell.
@@xXPyrophorusXx Ozzy didn't write lyrics. Geezer wrote the lyrics in Black Sabbath. Ozzy created the vocal melodies which mostly follow the guitar/bass riffs.
@@xXPyrophorusXx Ozzy's solo career was originally going to just be billed as "BLIZZARD OF OZZ" - which was the band for the album. Geezer Butler (Bass player in Sabbath) wrote much of the lyrics. Ozzy's contribution to writing songs has mostly always been writing the vocal melodies.
@@TweedSuit, Yes, Ozzy wrote a couple or a few songs. I can't remember all of them, but "Goodbye To Romance" is one of them, which is about him not being in Black Sabbath anymore.

Bad ass riff by Randy Rhoads and lyrics by Ozzy one of the most epic Rock & Roll songs for the Universe to enjoy!! This is one of those songs that makes you wish you know how to play a Guitar, you know how many people got started on an instrument just by listening this song. Great reaction video Jamel!!
I've not seen anyone do any reactions to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Great music that's being overlooked. First CD I ever purchased was their greatest hits. Thanks, you're reactions are really good. Tough to pick a particular song, Love Child might be a good place to start.
Been listening to Ozzy, off and on for 42 years and this one ? What 38 years.. heard it a 1000 times.. MUST SAY.. BADASS LYRICS!!! Seriously.. unreal. Never even had the foggiest. Yay Ozzy!!!!!
Bob Daisley wrote all the lyrics to the first two “Ozzy” albums. The band was supposed to be a band called “Blizzard of Ozz” who’s members were Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Randy Rhodes and of course Ozzy, But Ozzy’s wife Sharon changed it to just Ozzy, as a solo artist, shortly before the album was released and then later fired both Daisley and Kerslake after both albums were recorded (they were recording months apart) before the “Diary of a Madman” tour. Daisley continued writing the lyrics for Ozzy up until the “Ultimate Sin” album. This is NOT the original recording.
We will all be singing "Crazy Train" out our windows if this Corona Virus lock down last any longer. "I am going off the rails in this crazy lockdown".
Jamal you absolutely hit the nail on the head & for people that think metal is scream & shout need to listen to your comment at the end of this video. Summed up to perfection!!!
Thank you, so much Jamel, for giving Ozzy a chance. I was 15-years-old when this song hit the airwaves and the lyrics are as insightful and relevant today as they were back then (during the Vietnam War). Love your channel and seeing your musical horizons expand. God bless.
That guitar solo was the late (great) Randy Rhoads. He's definitely in the Top 10 greatest rock guitarists. And I remember when he died. He died in a plane crash about 50 miles from my house in my senior year in high school. What a tragic loss.
This is the Randy Rhoads era of Ozzy. A legendary guitarist that passed away.
Died way to young
He Was also the guitarist for Quiet Riot for the Mental Health album that put them on the map with Come on Feel the noise.
Randy was one of the best guitarists ever.
@@bryandavis8095 Carlos didn't do anything but take his place?
@@bryandavis8095 that was carlos cavazo
Everyone wants to think this song is about being crazy but it's really a song about wanting peace.
Sabbath had the same problem, song about peace and love being misconstrued
The chorus is about being crazy, the verses are about peace...
Same as the Bible

Randy Rhodes was Ozzy's true friend. He loved Randy like a brother. They say Ozzy went into a deep depression when Randy died.

Masterpiece.
Agreed
I have many hours invested in that whole album.
I’ve been crusading for that for years!
Nobody reacts to it, and it is literally Randy’s masterpiece!!!

If you actually pay attention to his lyrics, it's completely different than how he was often stereotyped in the eighties.
Maybe because Ozzy didn't write the lyrics...

Review "Mr. Crowley" by Ozzy next. It has one of the best guitar solos in history
I love the intro to that song. Another gem is "Revelation (Mother Earth)".
I recommend the live version, from the budokan.
Awesome tune...About Aleister Crowley who was a VERY bizarre figure...
A great solo but I like the one in "Over the Mountain", it's so EVIL!
and use this video !!! ... th-cam.com/video/G3LvhdFEOqs/w-d-xo.html
Rhoads had the smoothest guitar tone and slickest left / right hand coordination ever. I don't listen to Ozzy for his song, I listen to Randy's playing. Ozzy loved Randy and always seemed so proud of him on stage, like a father is to a son.

Actually, Geezer wrote most of Black Sabbath's Lyics
I was introduced to ozzy & this album by a boyfriend in 10th grade. Ditched the boyfriend but stayed true to Ozzy forever 😍
You should check out Ozzie's "No More Tears" ... You'll be just as floored, zero doubt.
100% agreed!!
GRAND CHOICE!!
And here I thought it was "Norm On Cheers" this whole time... heh, heh! Excellent suggestion.
Randy Rhoads, one of rock's greatest guitarists. Taken away from us way too soon.
And the craziest way to die! Was not even a party rock guy the story is insane.
So many people in the 80s thought Ozzy & Black Sabbath were evil devil worshippers, but so many of their songs were anti-war & had deep meanings regarding people needing love.
They just rocked so damn hard that "squares" wrote them off as evil without really listening to them.

Try "Mama I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne and also "Carry on a Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas
There was only one Randy Rhoads, and there will never be another like him. Died much too young. 😕❤
I’ve always felt that when Ozzy was being interview he should reply by singing his response. Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman were two terrific albums. RIP Randy Rhoads.

And don’t try to clean up the track unless you’re a pro. This sounds like crap.

Right near me 👍
That was a fascinating episode, all the information, music, etc. kept inside a mountain in Pittsburgh.
remember that episode
I loved the episode of Jack and Ozzys World tour where the Louisville leopards played him this song...those kids were awesome as was ozzy's response

Dairy Of A Madman is my favorite place to eat ice cream.
Yes. All of this!
I love how right off the bat a lyric video has aboard spelled wrong.
the whole damn thing is spelled wrong, gave me a stroke
Right off the bat? Unintentional, or extremely clever? You made ME laugh!
The person who did the lyric video probably fell off the crazy train and hit his head on the ground cause damn, that was painful to read. So many spelling errors! Was it made by Joe Biden?🤣
@@bamaG1966 I kid you not that I made a statement on my facebook yesterday about Lose/loose. Actually it was "loosing" that I made a specific reference to.
I often see aboard misspelled when I travel abrod.
And just like that, it’s 1982 again. Love it!
Year I graduated!
almost 40 years of enjoying his Stuff!! Thank you for doing this Much love
Steve Vai on Randy Rhoads' Crazy Train solo:
“I remember when I first heard ‘Crazy Train’ and then its freight-train of a guitar came screaming in."
“I think it’s the first rock track I heard where the solo came in and got scared.”
THAT says a LOT about Randy Rhodes! One of a kind! Gone, way before his time...
Randy Rhodes.... nuff said!
Miss randy rhodes Guitar style. Legend
YES
Randy’s guitar... he wanted to sound like a train on tracks. His talent was amazing.
Cool thought... I hear it. I teach this intro to my guitar students...
I totally caught that in the verse riff when I first heard the song. So badass! My 13 year old mind was blown.
I'm glad that I got to see Ozzy with Randy Rhodes in concert....GREATNESS!
Ya gotta wonder how the hell the oz. Sounds the same as he did watching concerts in 1971 and still unmistakably oz on 2020 still all these years and ya no that voice. Thanks for sharing with me so so much of my young years and letting me remember all
The illiteracy is strong with whoever made that lyric video.
That hurt to read ;-)

By the way, strictly speaking: *Whomever :P
@John Nichols actually, he is...
Well, at least "correct"... 🤣
@John Nichols Well, thanks to the person who made this lyrics video, I'm thinking of changing my name to Machinegun *Precaher* @3:14
Great song by a great artist! You should react to "Shot in the Dark ", " Mama I'm coming Home" and "The Road to Nowhere "!
Iron Man!
Mama, I'm Coming Home
loved the reaction tnx. and i get what u say about hearing ozzy talking, and his lyrics...
Enjoyed him on the National Mall during the Rally for Sanity hosted by Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert. That was probably the one event in my life i will never forget. I never in my life thought that there would be the huge crowd that it was; but it was amazing to see all the 'regular' people that are never heard.
tunes of bands back then..had Lots of wise words to share with the world, and todays generation..I can only Hope..Hears them too!!..blessings!
Black Sabbath - Symptom of the Universe!
@ti portangeles one of the greatest Black Sabbath Ozzy era song , way ahead of his time for sure !
@ti portangeles no way that's crazy!! haha i'm 27 and this is my favorite band for almost all my life , they taught me some many thing . it's crazy how people of all ages come check to see my man Jamel AKA Jamal react to this beatiful songs that we all love
@ti portangeles Light comes from Dark . healthy music put you in a good mood but sure. i listen a lot of different types of music and for every type i had like a favorite artist kind of haha for heavy rock and roll music forever will be this dudes !
It should be noted that these lyrics (like most of the songs on these early Ozzy solo records) were written by Bob Daisley, the bass player, whom Ozzy screwed over a few years later...
Lord Elpus Sharon screeed over. She’s the worst. And why this video will be taken down.
Just purely out of curiosity, did he ever write lyrics/music going back to 1970? If so did he write, in has last albums with Sabbath? I know was deep in the bag at this point in his life, and it was only going to get worse, Randy's death certainly didn't help. It sounds like Ozzy was only the name, they needed in order to sell.
@@xXPyrophorusXx Ozzy didn't write lyrics. Geezer wrote the lyrics in Black Sabbath. Ozzy created the vocal melodies which mostly follow the guitar/bass riffs.
@@xXPyrophorusXx Ozzy's solo career was originally going to just be billed as "BLIZZARD OF OZZ" - which was the band for the album. Geezer Butler (Bass player in Sabbath) wrote much of the lyrics. Ozzy's contribution to writing songs has mostly always been writing the vocal melodies.
@@TweedSuit,
Yes, Ozzy wrote a couple or a few songs. I can't remember all of them, but "Goodbye To Romance" is one of them, which is about him not being in Black Sabbath anymore.
"All music is the Blues. All of it." -George Carlin There is truth there...
Tell that to Tchaikovsky.
@@dieselbourbon3728 lol true

And they all have one thing in common: They all share traits and elements of african and fusion music.
@@dieselbourbon3728 and Beethoven better roll over
Kinda true! Almost every modern genre has its roots in blues or jazz, but it all has to start somewhere.
Bad ass riff by Randy Rhoads and lyrics by Ozzy one of the most epic Rock & Roll songs for the Universe to enjoy!! This is one of those songs that makes you wish you know how to play a Guitar, you know how many people got started on an instrument just by listening this song. Great reaction video Jamel!!
Jamel you nailed it exactly. It's the way a message is delivered that people can HEAR it.
I've not seen anyone do any reactions to Diana Ross and the Supremes. Great music that's being overlooked. First CD I ever purchased was their greatest hits. Thanks, you're reactions are really good. Tough to pick a particular song, Love Child might be a good place to start.
He does a song called “Dreamer” , it’s amazing🎶🎶🖤🎶🖤🎶
You should hear "Green Eyed Lady" extended version by Sugarloaf.
The bass line. Son loves that bass line.
Lovely Lady..!
That kick drum tho
wow yes indeed
Absolutely! Maybe Spirit's "Fresh Garbage". Get something jazzy up in this joint.
Been listening to Ozzy, off and on for 42 years and this one ? What 38 years.. heard it a 1000 times.. MUST SAY.. BADASS LYRICS!!! Seriously.. unreal. Never even had the foggiest. Yay Ozzy!!!!!
Not to mention they had Randy Rodes then.. What a shame and untimely death. he was a genius. and still Ozzy morns him
Ozzy told us decades ago. Crazy Train! Love you, brother.
The live version on Tribute is the greatest heavy metal track ever!
Bob Daisley wrote all the lyrics to the first two “Ozzy” albums. The band was supposed to be a band called “Blizzard of Ozz” who’s members were Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Randy Rhodes and of course Ozzy, But Ozzy’s wife Sharon changed it to just Ozzy, as a solo artist, shortly before the album was released and then later fired both Daisley and Kerslake after both albums were recorded (they were recording months apart) before the “Diary of a Madman” tour. Daisley continued writing the lyrics for Ozzy up until the “Ultimate Sin” album. This is NOT the original recording.
I would like to hear the original recording
We will all be singing "Crazy Train" out our windows if this Corona Virus lock down last any longer. "I am going off the rails in this crazy lockdown".
you'll be singing angel of death if it doesn't though
One of my favorite songs ever, I play this song every time I pick up my guitar
Jamal you absolutely hit the nail on the head & for people that think metal is scream & shout need to listen to your comment at the end of this video. Summed up to perfection!!!
Ozzy: "Mr. Crowley, "; one of Rhodes great guitar songs.
Blows my mind how this song is so old but still powerful and the words if only people listen. Another great reaction Ty Jamal
"Revelations (Mother Earth)" is another great Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhodes tune.
Especially live. Tribute album.
@@michaelevans3477 Best song on the album..
@@nicolemichlovsky2505 Definitely! Randy really shows how crazy-talented he was. Played that song to death on repeat back in my college days.
I love, love, love that you read the lyrics to the songs....thank you!!!!!
Thank you, so much Jamel, for giving Ozzy a chance. I was 15-years-old when this song hit the airwaves and the lyrics are as insightful and relevant today as they were back then (during the Vietnam War). Love your channel and seeing your musical horizons expand. God bless.
You have to hear No More Tears from the Ozzman. The best bass line and my favorite song from him.
RIP Randy Rhodes.
All “abored” was bad enough, but I checked out after “that’s how it go’s.” I can only imagine the rest. Hope J enjoyed the song.
It didn't get much better. 😂
Ah, good old phonetics. Lol.
🖕
Pablo Zee lol
Worse, still, it was "thats how it go's." A neglected apostrophe and a catastrophe apostrophe.
Love ozzy he has a one of a kind wicked voice.....love it
Thanks for doing this! I've never really paid close enough attention to the lyrics! Wow! Just wow!!!
bro diary of a madman was a great album, there's so many great songs on it
would love to hear you react to Emerson Lake and Palmer. Start with "welcome back my friends"
Glad I got to see this before it gets blocked. Ozzy's ppl a notorious blockers.
You mean Sharon...........................
Back off Sharon. She’s my totem animal! Lol!
The Oz Man is so versatile! No More Tears and I Just Want You are two of my favorites of his
No More Tears is my favorite ozzy song of all time
@@92mrsrdb because its bad ass!!!!!
That guitar solo was the late (great) Randy Rhoads. He's definitely in the Top 10 greatest rock guitarists. And I remember when he died. He died in a plane crash about 50 miles from my house in my senior year in high school. What a tragic loss.
Another epic intro that you'll recognize is WHITE STRIPES: "7 Nation army"
Love them!
