[@tedcabana]

I may have been 12 years old at the time when I found this album at my local library. I took it home and listened to it a thousand times, at least. I played my guitar along with every song and tried to play, or imitate, every Blackmore lead. I did my best, and learned most of the songs. I guess that is how I came into my own style of playing. Blackmore's enchanting melodies, and techniques. That's where I became my own guitarist, to play without boundaries, and measures. Ritchie was my best teacher. I can truly now enjoy my own playing, 40 years later, thanks to Ritchie.

[@jalkabre5904]

A great one to emulate, many others have done the same.

Even when Ronnie was dying he had a better singing voice than Gillan. Ian Gillan should just retire since his voice has been crap for years.

Ronnie had more of an opera voice most likely because his family was from Sicily.. Strong and powerful. Gillian has more of a blues voice.

[@gsp631]

Somethin about this is beyond, above so many others, i remember hearing this in the 70s on an LA radio station, i thought it was an extremely different, powerful sound, i thought better the anything else on the radio at that time and i listened all the time. This is a classic, good for all times, rock on pilgrims 🎶

[@TribalFusion23]

I was 15 in 1979 when we would listen to this album on 8 track continusly over and over again in my parents basement (I won't mention the Honey Dew Oil we were lacing our joints with) . Bob, Thanks for writing Blizzard of Ozz & Diary of a Madman. When it hit the stores I had to have it and I remember thinking "who ever wrote this shit is a fucking genius".

[@markrago5338]

Thank you Bob Daisley! You are a true legend and elder statesman of hard rock and early metal. Teaming with phenomenal drummers like Cozy in Rainbow and Lee Kerslake in Blizzard of Ozz and Uriah Heep just to name a few highlights (love the Chicken Shack stuff too!). As far as I know you are the only person aside from Butler, Iommi, and Ward to have played in bands featuring Ozzy and RJD. Thank you for the wealth of quality music and for the awesome footage!

Rudy Sarzo has also played bass with both. Rudy was part of the Master of the Moon record.

I hung out with Ronnie in 1993. He was recording in a studio in Chatsworth, CA. My friend worked there. He told me to come watch. I brought my bong and some killer weed. When they were done, we smoked out. RJD signed 3 of my CD'S that I brought for that reason. We talked for hours. Nice guy, very likeable dude. Not like Ritchie.

RIP DIO. THE GREATEST SINGER OF ROCK N'ROLL

[@mateusromanp]

I heard Dio saying in an interview that this song is about Tony Carey quitting the band after being systematically bullied and abused by Blackmore.

[@lovehunter9337]

Yeah I've heard that story as well. Ritchie was a real bastard to Tony Carey according to Ronnie. Worse than he normally is with his fellow musicians.

[@markgowans]

I wonder if Ritchie knew at the time that this song he was playing was about him and his treatment of Tony Carey? :)

[@unclecrunch9581]

Richie Blackmore wasnt always a pleasant person to work with. He once spiked his tour manager's drink, and left him naked without identification, in a rental car without keys, aboard a ferry headed to Iceland.

[@markgowans]

Uncle Crunch It wasn't just Ritchie that was involved in that incident. Ritchie is famous for pulling pranks on his fellow crew and band members but what he allegedly did to Tony Carey can hardly be called a prank.

[@markgowans]

Kenneth Rose I kind of agree with you. In interviews towards the end of his life he did come across as a bit arrogant. I even seem to recall seeing an interview on youtube where he says something to the effect of if he hadn't got together with Ritchie he would have made it big anyway. While thats most likely true because he did have an incredible voice the remark do come across as rather egotistical I thought.
