That night I sat in the dark and played the record and held the cone to it and I finally heard Ozzy. I later became a musician.

Video was very well done,,thank you. I was just getting into Heavy Metal I was 13 when Blizzard came out. Growing up on 1970’s rock the time was right for Heavy Metal. Randy was an incredible talent like I had never heard. His guitar made you focus on every note. Combined with the talent around him it represents the coming of a decade where Metal came into the forefront and Blizzard of Oz along with a few other albums created a loyal fan base to this day. I was in my bedroom when the news came up on our living room tv. Plane crash takes the life of Guitarist Randy Rhoads I went back to my room and cried. To this day it always bothers me. The accident should have never happened.

very little to add other than I saw Ozzy in May of 1982. We knew Randy had died and Brad was playing guitar.

[@taskmaster65]

My first concert was Ozzy w/Randy, Rudy, Tommy and Don at the San Diego Sports Arena on Jan 4th 1982. Then I saw Black Sabbath w/Ronnie James Dio there in April, I believe. I was only 16 and had no concert experience before that year. So even with the death, when it was announced Ozzy was playing the Sports Arena again in June, I thought it was a new tour. You know, bands put out an album a year back then. So I go to the exact show you're talking about and it's the same setlist, exact same concert, but with Brad in place of Randy. Talk about depressing. I love Brad in Night Ranger, but obviously Randy owned those songs. Also, I remember going back to school at Point Loma High School after Randy died and the school had been vandalized with spray paint tributes to Randy Rhoads. They painted the side of a building on a hill and the main area in the middle of the school on the ground. They misspelled his name Roads at one place and Rhodes at the other. Still to this day it drives me insane how so many people can't spell his name right. It was very strange having the guitarist from my first concert die 10 weeks later. Stevie Young (AC/DC) was the only guitar player in the band Starfighters that opened the Randy Rhoads date. Was it Axe that opened the Brad Gillis date? It all kind of blends together after all these years. My 4th concert was Ted Nugent with Blackfoot opening that same year. It was a real breath of fresh air not seeing any f^&king crosses on stage!

Losing Rhoads so early was a real tragedy. There's no telling what trajectory his music might have taken.

Knowing that he intended to go back to school and pursue a music degree just adds to the feeling of loss and the mystery of what might have been.

'Speak of the Devil' was the first album I had bought, the double vinyl gaffed, the day it was released. It was the 2nd time I went into a record store. This time I was available to by a couple of records. I bought Ozzy and the Kinks 'Give the people what they want'. Still love them as much as I did when I purchased both at 12. Both made an impact. I still can't imagine what it would have been like to tour after that crash and still put out the live album in the same year as an adult. All of those who survived and followed in 1982 had to go through a literal hell. Cheers to Brad Gillis for coincidently making one of the greatest live and "live" albums for guitar I have ever heard. Love and appreciate Randy and Brad's contributions to the early Ozzy machine immensely. They make it memorable.

Speak of the devil was my first exposure to Sabbath. which is probably why I struggled with classic Sabbath. Brad made it heavier.

Excellent stuff, my man, well done. Such a needless tragedy. This idea that Randy died in a plane crash brings to mind all the others who have died in like manner from Buddy Holly, Ricky Nelson, Otis Redding, etc. But Randy's crash was so needless as he wasnt even traveling from point A to point B. Such an utter shame. And is there any doubt whatsoever had Randy lived Sharon would have screwed him over too? I mean, there's a question that doesn't really need a question mark.

RIP 🤘your legacy lives on I play it everyday 7 days a week RR-Legends Never Die

[@Kantack1]

I had just got Diary for my 11th birthday and immediately fell in love with the guitar sound. I spent the rest of 1981 learning about Randy Rhoads, and was a huge fan at 11! I begged my mom to let me see Randy at a scheduled concert in June 1982, she finally agreed and got me tickets. But in 1982 there was no internet or social media, so I went through February 1982 with T-Shirts that I drew Ozzy on and even one where I drew the Polka dot flying V going through the word Ozzy. March 1982 was weird, I was in school when someone told me Ozzy died in a plane crash, I wasn't believing it, but somehow my mom's boyfriend at the time picked me up from school and told me Ozzy was alive, I remember feeling relieved, he then said but supposed the guitar player you like died, I begged him to get a newspaper, but there was nothing in it. I cut school the next day and walked to every record store in the town of Long Beach NY. Finally I stop at a news store and as I walk in, wearing my Ozzy with Randy's guitar shirt, a guy walking out said, oh kid sorry, Randy was great, I said what happened, he said Randy died in a plane crash, I remember saying No No, the guy said kid go home, the world lost a gem last week. Yeah, I found out Randy Rhoads died a week after on Friday March 26th...Don't have my homemade shirts, but remember walking home with this ache in my chest. Later on my dad told me I had a broken heart. Never felt that pain again, and saw Brad Gillis in June play Randy's songs, I sang along, but booed the solo, as the other few thousand people at that show did. Kinda felt bad for Brad Gillis, and Bernie Torme. Filling the shoes of Rhoads, a rising phenom that was gone way too soon. Anyway, that's my rant. Long Live the GOAT Randy Rhoads

[@johnwalter6410]

I also got it when it came out and I thought the guitar tone sounded terrible ha ha ha. It was very thin and didn’t have any Bend whatsoever and always sounded like it was going through a phaser. Which leads me to believe that it was out of phase with the rest of the tracks. But it’s an amazing album.

[@jdmoney1000]

When I was 22 years old, Ozzy Osborne was coming to the Sam Houston Coliseum on February 17th (1982). Since first hearing Ozzy’s “Blizzard of Oz” solo album, his new guitar player Randy Rhoads had become my guitar hero. I didn't know much about him, nor did I even know what he looked like, because Ozzy's album pictures really didn't distinguish who was who in the band photo. To this point, I had assumed that the dark-haired guy (Rudy) was the guitar player I had recently come to idolize. Anyway, my girlfriend Mindy and our housemate Chris quickly found a way to score some tickets for the show. I figured if we showed up at the arena early enough, we might get a chance to meet the band before the show. It was a warm afternoon in Houston when Chris, Mindy and I arrived at the concert hall. We made our way around to the loading dock side of the building to look for tour buses or any other sign of band life. The road crew had already arrived and was setting up the elaborate stage for the “Diary of A Madman” tour. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were able to simply walk in and observe at our leisure without anyone hassling us. This went on for the better part of the afternoon. As we loitered about the premises, I befriended Randy’s guitar tech. He informed me that the band would be showing up around 5pm to do a soundcheck. In the meantime, he invited me into a makeshift dressing room to have a look at Randy’s guitars. They were sitting on guitar stands right in front of me. Just feet away from my hands were Randy’s signature cream Les Paul with the snakeskin strap, along with three custom made “V” shaped guitars. His polka-dot V, white pinstripe V and a black one, the latter two sporting the name “Jackson” on the headstocks. At this point, I was not really familiar with his guitars. And this was also long before Jackson Guitars became a household name. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued by them. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to bring a disposable camera with me. I asked the guitar tech if I could take a few pictures of the guitars. He didn’t mind, so I began to snap away. Just as I was photographing the assortment of guitars, a rather large and in charge road manager walked in on me and freaked out. “What the f#$k are you doing in here??? Gimme that efffing camera, those are custom made guitars!” he barked. The guitar tech tried to quell the big fellows concerns, but he would have no part in negotiating any compromise. “Gimme the effing camera if you wanna see the show” he demanded. As a 22 year old punk kid, I was in no position to argue, so I reluctantly gave the Paul Bunion looking troll my stupid camera. The guitar tech apologized for the road managers over-reaction and allowed us all to stay and hang out. Like clockwork, the tour bus pulled into the loading dock at 5pm. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Randy Rhoads soon stepped out. Randy was wearing blue jeans, a black pleather jacket with no shirt under it with a white towel draped around his neck. Absent from the group was Ozzy, who apparently didn’t do soundcheck with the rest of the group. I quickly made my way over to who I thought was Randy and asked for an autograph. Slightly unprepared, I only had a small piece of paper that I had found nearby for them to sign. Rudy signed one side of the paper and Randy Rhoads signed the other side. I managed to make some small talk, at first thinking that Rudy was actually Randy. Up to this point, (As I said, I wasn’t entirely sure what Randy actually looked like). “Man, you’re a great guitar player” I said. Rudy looked at me sort of puzzled and pointed me in the direction of the actual Randy Rhoads. Needless to say, I felt like a douche. Randy was very unassuming, soft-spoken and frankly humble. He happily complied with my autograph request. He had to lean the small piece of paper onto the side of the cinder block wall in order to write his signature. He simply wrote, "Randy Rhoads". After several minutes, the band disappeared inside the arena and we followed along like lemmings. During their soundcheck, I stood directly in front of Randy Rhoads as the band ran through the song “Mr. Crowley” in its entirety. Randy was playing his cream Les Paul and never sounded better. I was in awe that afternoon, watching this soon to be legend warming up for the impending show right before my eyes. Except for my girlfriend Mindy, Chris and myself, (and a few road-crew guys), there was nobody else in the arena. A few short weeks later, Randy, twenty-five years old, was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. I was davestated. His autograph remains framed on my studio wall to this day. Also, a few weeks earlier on March 5th, John Belushi died of a cocaine overdose. You could feel a chill in the psyche of the masses around Houston who had just absorbed the news of both of their untimely deaths. Both tragedies were a stark reminder of my own mortality...I'm nearly 65 now.....Can you imagine what would have been captured on my disposable camera had i been allowed to keep it??? That tour manager did a great disservice to the world. I hope he's reading this! Jeff Dyer - Uncle Sally

First of all I want to say "thank you" to all the people that is part of this channel. Over the last 5-6 years the internet has permitted the truth to arise, and I mean the truth because I believe not only me, but thousands of Ozzy's fans had a different version of the real facts. Getting to hear all of these interviews and narrations has led me to disappointment, 30-35 years ago I would think of Ozzy as a hero, nowadays I think he is a dark and greedy person, worst than Mr. Scrooge, and now I appreciate musicians more than ever, for their hard work and contribution to music, Ozzy talks about Randy like he was his best friend or something, but the truth was brutally different, and I realize now how terrible must be to work with someone like Ozzy. Randy was in a crossroads, and I am so sure he badly wanted out of Ozzy.

No, Randy absolutely did NOT want to play on what became "Speak of the Devil," and realistically, putting out a live record of all Sabbath songs only 2 years into Ozzy and Sharon trying to establish him as a solo artist made zero sense at the time. Of course, when Randy died, Don Arden tried to force Ozzy to put out the live recordings with Randy, and Ozzy refused. Thats why "Tribute" didnt come out until 1987. Ozzy would only release that recording with Delores Rhoads' blessing

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

but that is the thing they were trying distance themselves from what few new, it was a band called Blizzard of ozz. And Randy thought it was a step back. It tooks a few years for the Osbournes and Rhoads family to come to an agreement, apparently Delores had to take the hammer to the Osbournes after Randy died.

only if Randy accepted Jesus as His Savior. That is the ONLY way you will get to Heaven as well. Do not let 'religion' or others try to deceive you. Jesus is THE only way to Heaven! You MUST admit your sins, believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for you, me, and ALL of humanity, and call upon the name of Jesus for forgiveness. The Bible says if you confess with you tongue and believe in your heart that Jesus, the Son, was born of a virgin, died on the cross to take the sins of those who put their faith in Him to the grave, and on the third day, He rose and is now seated at the Right Hand of the Father, then you will be saved! When you take your last breath on this Earth, the next breath will be before Him in all His glory! I personally believe that in that moment, there is nothing to be done but fall upon our face as dead and tremble and wait for Him to touch us or pick us up. If you do not believe in Jesus, if you continue to live for man think you're going to get somewhere by works, then I am very sorry to say your last breath in your body will mark the beginning of an eternal tormented never ending nightmare from which there is no waking; because that is your new reality. God does not send people to the Lake of Fire; they send themselves there by rejecting His grace and Love.

The show I saw, with Bernie Torme on lead, was the first show back. We heard a rumor that they were planning to rehearse at the venue (Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA) in the days leading to the show. We cut school the day before the show and hitched a ride to the Lehigh University campus, where Stabler Arena was located. The rumors turned out to be true, and we spent the afternoon sitting outside with a few dozen other fans, listening to the band working on the songs. Torme may not have been a perfect fit for the music, but damn if he didn't do the work and learn the whole set in a matter of days

@@joshburns6625 we all knew what had happened, and we all knew there was a replacement guitarist. This was early in Ozzy's solo career, and my friends and I were mid teens. This was only my second or third concert (my first three concerts were Sabbath, Ozzy, and Judas Priest, but I can't remember whether I saw Ozzy before or after Priest). I could barely see the stage from my nosebleed seats, so on a visual level, Randy's absence didn't have much of an impact. I was also too young and inexperienced to analyze Torme's playing like I would do today. As far as I could tell, he did a great job. But most importantly, everyone there seemed to have his back, and Torme got a lot of love from the crowd. We all understood the heaviness of stepping into Randy's shoes, and the crowd was there to celebrate and support his efforts.
