HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley' | GENUINE REACTION

[@TheBcvg2002]

Randy's loss to music at such a young age was a huge tragedy not only for this genre but for music in general. He was a genius.

[@Damien_D1977]

I can only imagine where his playing would be at today if he had lived. 😞

[@love68]

AGREED!🤘🔥🤘 I didn't realize it at the time. Not til I became a musician later did I finally get it! I did the same with SRV. I don't play guitar, I'm a retired Heavy Metal singer. But damn I know great musicians. Randy was incredible. God's blessings!🤘🔥🤘🤠💯🙏💛

[@mrch6200]

Live version is definitely worth watching 🤠

[@IronHead42]

I second this comment. Also third and fourth.

[@srt8rocketship241]

I think he may enjoy the live song from the Tribute album. But hell , all or any are always amazing to me. Randy...my Hero.

A lot of lives are not good. But the one with Randy is great.

[@armandocardenas2999]

Randy Rhodes is my all time favorite guitarist and absolute legend. Died way too young when he was just getting started.

[@seanentrikin9263]

*Rhoads 😉

[@NozUrbina]

One of my coworkers in the UK knew him. Apparently also a great guy

[@Metal_Mary]

​@@seanentrikin9263 that's okay, my dumb phone keeps changing mine from Rhoads to Rhodes 😂

[@heavybrett-al4082]

Randy is my God...I tattooed him on me he was and is amazing!

[@mikewold8996]

Randy was a genius. He would triple track his solos and no one could ever tell. He saved Ozzy! And keep in mind they recorded these albums in a short period of time. He didn't need a year to sound this great!

[@Vacheriedevacherie]

That solo was done by a genius, that’s what it was.

[@GHOST5663]

The live version is ace, Ozzy does his bit and then stands back watching Randy play with a look of true appreciation until the end of the song.

[@seltonk5136]

It's amazing. Ozzys sardonic, almost accusatory lyrics pierce just like Randy's guitar

[@mikefuchs-sb8pv]

right, Ozzy just effin loved Randy Rhoads, being in his prescence and genius musical talent- imagine getting fired from sabbath, and then discovering this guy!!!!

[@James-k8l8d]

Definitely do the live version!

[@fredarsenault8987]

the live tribute to RR is the best thing Ozzy ever did

[@Rhoads_]

[@lalrinzualahrahsel9305]

No more tears - Ozzy with Zakk Wylde on the guitar, good rhythm, nice solo. Zakk is a living legend, now playing in Pantera replacing his late bestfriend Dime.

[@Arkryal]

Yeah, Zakk Wylde is worth a listen on his own. He may enjoy a track like "Sleeping Dogs", especially the b-side remix with Corey Taylor. I've always been a fan of Metal + Blues, and no one does it better.

[@andyh4224]

Yes " No More Tears" has to be next, I love that song!

[@Magpie74]

Zakk deffo belts out a decent riff

[@fordman992]

Either No More Tears or Hellraiser

[@tubelious]

The Live at Budokan dvd is freaking awesome with Zakk, Rob and Mike as Ozzy's band.

[@jamiemacdonald436]

The fade out on the outro solo is an absolute sin. I can't believe they chose to do that. Randy was a maestro and I can't imagine what he still had to offer. RIP Randy. 💔🤘🎸

[@michaelevans1578]

I always turn it up on the outro to hear every last one of those licks. Absolutely amazing.

[@howieduwit2551]

You have to remember this came out in the 80s and we were all blown away by guitarists like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen

England has a rich metal history. It's probably why you like it so much. It's in your blood

[@jimcook5711]

Randy wasn't English...

[@zevynozevyn4102]

This song was inspired by a book about Aleister Crowley that Osbourne had read, and a deck of tarot cards found in the studio as recording of the album was commencing. Crowley was an English occultist and ceremonial magician who had founded the Thelemite religion in the early 20th century.

[@trogdortheburninator3621]

I remember seeing a severed hand in a toilet in Crowley's home. Dude was mad mental.

I have seen Ozzy in concert 7 times over the last 30 years and there is nothing better!!

@@Metal_Mary Oh I bet! that would of been crazy!! I was 14 in 86 and my mom would have killed me LOL

[@metalmaniac1244]

Saw Metallica open for Ozzy at The Summit (1986) in Houston Texas. Metallica blew Ozzy away that night and even Ozzy admitted it.

[@TheMalchiah]

I truly envy you younger folks that get to hear this stuff for the first time ever. It has to be an amazing experience. I take for granted that I’ve heard it all my entire life. Honestly think you appreciate it more than I do anymore. Makes me happy it’s not going to die with time though.

[@Neilxtc]

“Over the Mountain” is one of my favorite guitar solos of ALL TIME!

[@generoberts9151]

Yeah , he has to do that next

[@BRB-_-]

The cool thing about Randy’s playing is that it’s very classically influenced. Whereas most guitarist from this time (in rock) are more blues influenced.

[@barrettflorida]

Randy 😢 The lead guitar in this song, to this day, still makes the hair on my arms stand straight up. Lucky to see him in '81. Had tickets for '82 in Orlando, but then the unbelievable happened. Randy changed my life, seriously. Enjoy

[@tonymills4971]

There are so many talented guitarists today who can all play amazing solos but Randy was one of the first of a kind who blew us all away 40 plus years ago with his unique style and talent, Ozzy was lucky to have found him for us all to enjoy 🙂

[@battle66674]

YES! UPLOAD THE LIVE ONE TOMORROW! Can't wait for you to see Randy playing this!!

[@vinniedixon1140]

We never would have found out how great Randy would've been as a rock guitarist even if he never perished in that crash. He actually told Ozzy he wanted to quit and go to university.

[@smotmanttb]

Ya never know... Hopefully he would have done a Steve Vai thing... I don't know that he could have ever NOT performed live again. I would hope so - Randy is my hero

[@mrmercedes8528]

The unknown : it’s been 42 years …… he still rules regardless

[@renecuellar3078]

We already KNEW how great he was because of those two records with Ozzy. That's why when he perished, he left a huge void. Were you actually alive when he died?

[@jdbroders64]

Exactly. I was alive when he tragically died and he wanted to temporarily quit performing to further study music at the University level. He was going to take a break to enhance his knowledge of music theory, composition etc. He wasn't 'quitting" music. Far from it. With that said, for the all to brief period he was with us he was one of the greats in so many ways. Back in the day, I had a guitar instructor that had briefly known Randy and to paraphrase he said of Randy "He was a gem of a guy. A truly good guy." Everything I've ever read about Rhoads indicates that's true.

[@marcmiller789]

I was at Randy's last concert in 1982, he died later that night.

[@JohnRoop-y9p]

Gotta do it live on TV with Randy Rhoads!!!!

[@OmaSimster]

I think people vastly underestimate the sheer volume of available music to listen to. Heck, I'm still finding music from the 80s that I've never heard and I LIVED for music in the 80s.

[@dacechasinghawk3910]

This song is so catchy. I sing the chorus around the house after I hear this song, everytime. I'll sing "Mr. Crowley" then I'll sing the riff. LOL. My kids tell me, shut up dad.

Classy choice @MollyBoyTV ...you won't believe the solo in this song. A true masterpiece brother. Randy Rhoads is sublime. Looking forward to this. ❤

[@chrisnoble5969]

Randy Rhodes and Eddie Van Halen were rivals in LA at the time and the people who knew, knew that RR was the superior guitar player but EVH had a band named after him that was quickly becoming one of the most popular bands of the time and Randy was in Quiet Riot which was kind of a 80s garage hair band. So history judges as it does. But the proof is in the pudding.

[@johndingess2238]

Randy Rhodes. Absolutely a Legend

[@ericfisher1360]

The riding his white horse line is an allusion to the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

[@GHOST5663]

True, but that is an incorrect translation in the KJV bible. When translated from the original Greek text to English no rider is mentioned. "And I looked and behold a horse white and the sitting on it having a bow and was given to him a crown and he went forth overcoming and that he might conquer" No rider there, what is described is a Centaur who were expert archers. Crown in Greek is Corona (virus) Bow in Greek is Toxon (Toxin) Horses are symbols for swiftness, quick delivery and this one is white representing medical profession.

[@ericfisher1360]

@@GHOST5663 I doubt it. Who the horsemen are depends on if you are a dispensationalist or a preterist. The 4 horsemen are judgements in any case. I don't see any hermenutical reason to belive that the white rider represents the medical profession. Morphology of a word is a bad method of hermeneutic partially because it only works in english.

[@GHOST5663]

@@ericfisher1360 I had to look up three words in that reply. Thank you. You obviously have some knowledge in this. My understanding of Revelations is that it is prophesy, written in advance of an outcome already secured. These texts have been mistranslated by accident and purposefully and with ill intent to misdirect the faithful over hundreds of years. I believe that 2020 was the breaking of the first seal. The four horsemen are worldwide events, unveilings of the seals which need to be broken in order to usher in the reign of Apollyon. Genesis is the end, Revelations is a new beginning. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Someone I used to work with was taking lessons from Randy and I used to drive him to Musonia after work for his lessons. Randy was in Quiet Riot at the time. I was 19 years old when "Blizzard of Oz" was released. Me and my friends reacted to it pretty much the same way you did when we first heard it. It was "Dude, I have to hear that again!".
