This is by far the best cover of an Ozzy song I've ever heard.

[@donaldstevens8253]

I've seen him 6 times and never has he played this song! I love it! Great job guys

[@mikica473]

You havent been out much! KZbin comments. Holy fck.

[@jeffsadowski7759]

Wow, right? This cover was pure artwork at its finest!

[@HocusPocusFocus69]

Great job guys!

[@FLYJLM]

great job ; love it ☺

[@rancantrell]

Absolutely positively incredible I don’t know how anyone could possibly do it any better Ozzie’s live version is not near as good as this.

[@BrianBrown_1969]

Thank you

[@ssfgear]

Glad to hear a band keeping the songs and memories of the great Randy Rhoads alive.

[@Marshall_EL34]

"Diary of a Madman" ...one of my top ten songs of all time!

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

The vocal cloning is incredible. This guy could fill in for Ozzy.

[@BrianBrown_1969]

Thank you Cheers 🍻 ✌🏼

[@chrislowry7051]

Awesome cover here !!! 🙂👍

[@manuelgomes1569]

Fuck... The Prince of Darkness is strong in that one. I thought Steve Hennessey from Sheavy to be a clone from Ozzy without the wackiness, but Brian Brown topped it. Bats off to him! Truly amazing! Rock On, so the next generations know the almighty tritone.

[@BrianBrown_1969]

Thank you

Thank you

[@corangas]

Great fantastic

[@hugolafhugolaf]

When the vocals started I thought « oh, this is a fake cover with actual Ozzy’s vocals »... insane. And the rest of the band is tight as hell. And that drumkit... wow... it’s every 80’s teenager’s wet dream. Great, great job guys!

[@zakkbrown2367]

That’s my pops .. no auto tune needed💯

[@GLOCKCOPG23]

more badass than I expected

[@TheDiveInn]

Awesome!! I just started learning guitar about 2 months ago and this is the first song i've been practicing. I've managed to get most parts up to the lead into the solo, so i was just glued to watching the guitarist the whole time. Now if only i could play it like him...!!

[@Coynkydynk]

Hey, if you're still unsure about something in the solo, search youtube for Rob Marcello Diary, he's done a surgically precise solo cover with a good view of the fretboard work.

[@AlanDuncan1888]

@@Coynkydynk great, thanks a lot for that, I'll check him out.
