Same here, the true emotion and spiritual like look on Ozzy's face was surreal. He said he had never listened to that since the recording. So I can only imagine what he saw and felt right there. So much heart in this crazy man. I grew up learning about Ozzy and Black Sabbath and the legacy from my dad. I didn't fully understand it until I got older but even from the very beginning I just knew my dad was being honest the way he described moments of their prime. Now I understand it. To me at least. Ozzy was and still is just a dreamer. My grandma has never been a fan of metal or even rock music by no means. Just not of her understanding. But for a very long time she will tell me how much she loves Ozzy's song Dreamer. When she passes I hope to listen to it alone to feel her spirit is still near.

[@danielhulse4076]

Ozzy still misses Randy Rhoads to this day. Ozzy's major structure to his success was Randy and his awesome guitar playing and outrageous picking solos. Randy and Ozzy really had that brother relationship when they made music and performed together. Randy was like a twin brother separated from birth to Ozzy. Ozzy has a lot of gratitude to Rhoads to his success in his solo career. Ozzy even has flowers sent and delivered to his grave every year on the anniversary of his death. Ozzy and Sharon used to take them in person, but fans picked up on it, so they don't do it anymore because there would be Ozzy fans waiting for them to show up on that day, they think it's rude for people to wait around and stalk them when they're supposed to be celebrating an anniversary and grieving for the loss of their dear friend. Rhoads will always be Ozzy's favorite guitar player because he knew the sound Ozzy wanted and enjoyed when they wrote songs, it was like Randy had Ozzy's brain plugged into his that was also plugged into his guitar

I love Ozzy because he's such an unlikely survivor, a rock star who beat the odds, and managed to grow old on his terms. Granted he bears the scars of his past, but when so many of his contemporaries either succumbed to the excesses that were the elements of being a rock star in the '70's (and '80's, '90's, etc) he's managed to not only survive - not only keep his ties with his band mates - but to keep on producing music that's relevant within his genre.

@@TheWitchOvAgnesi it sounds good because it is solo'd. When you have all the tracks and you have to mix it down and master it, a lot of compression & eq has to happen for everything to "fit" in the mix. When there are major frequency overlaps of vocals, bass, guitar & drums it sounds like a muddy mess.

[@TheWitchOvAgnesi]

@@dfpguitar Exactly. Which is why they should take another look at it now and use a different mixing approach and re-evaluate the gain and frequency structures for everything. Then again, maybe it'd only improve a minor amount. But with 192K now, you'd think they could still improve it somehow.

[@dfpguitar]

@@TheWitchOvAgnesi In the 00s record companies released DVD / Hi Res audio discs of all the big classic records that people love, stuff like the Beatles, queen, the who, led Zeppelin, black Sabbath etc.. But they were never popular anywhere outside of Japan. In the rest of the world most people ditched the concept of large quality home hifi for the convenience of highly compressed MP3 on portable players. This continues to this day, where almost no one has a home stereo with proper amp and speakers anymore. People have those little Bluetooth speakers and are very content. You should see if you can get hold of one of those DVD audio discs, sometimes they are mixed in 5.1 so you can hear all the instruments better.

@@dfpguitar Sadly, every single thing you say is once again true. Audiophile-dom is rare today. I used to work in a high-end audio-visual store (Thiel, Martin-Logan, Nautilus-era B&W, etc.), but when I mentioned this to non-audiophiles, inevitably their reaction was either "I can't tell the difference" or "How can you tell the difference?" It's only gotten worse... I'll look into the DVDs you mention. I know of their existence, but my path in music has shifted to the more extreme end of metal since my days in that store, so I don't necessarily spend my time in the genres that would benefit most from hi-fidelity (although the trend is slowly changing with some acts in metal). And I do still have a home system, but it is very humble and admittedly mainly used for home theater applications more than music appreciation. But that's more of a reflection of not having enough free time to simply sit and enjoy music as I used to. Thankfully what I listen to today doesn't suffer as much on junk audio... LOL

I feel like it was that, combined with his obvious love and respect, that compelled him to stand up and be as present as he could to listen to it and enjoy that moment. It's pretty obvious he knew how hearing the recording would affect him because of his relunctance to even hear it in the first place.

That's *guilt* because he punched Randy in the face a few days before his bus driver killed him in a freak accident high on coke ( yes coke was found in AYcock's system) The story that Sharon and Ozzy has been putting out for decades is one of some kind of romance between Randy and Ozzy. It couldn't be further from the truth, Randy desperately wanted to leave, Ozzy punched him in the face and made everything 10 times worse, then his bus driver killed him.

His mom used to come into my work and write checks...I would always look at them but never got the courage to tell her how great her son was. The fact she kept coming to me for help told me I had made the right decision. It must have been hard for her to hear from people all the time about him. Like a bandaid being torn off daily.

I've always preferred Randy to Eddie. Eddie's great of course, but there's something magic about Randy's playing.

[@jrmy198523]

Malmsteen is a genius in his own right musically but in my opinion the thing that separates randy from yngwie is that yngwie's music will never be "bad-ass" you know what i mean?

[@Trolliosis1]

You're comparing apples to oranges between RR and YJM. RR was a glam guitarist turned metal guitarist, YJM was a power metal guitarist turned pop metal guitarist. Both are great in their own right, but in terms of originality nobody was doing the things that RR and EVH were doing up to the time of RR's death. Actually YJM was in the music industry and wasn't even in the public eye until after RR's death because the music industry tried to replace a giant that was lost and instead sought to promote unknown virtuoso's like YJM, Steve Vai, Vinnie Vincent, Paul Gilbert and Kirk Hammet. Those 5 guys to this day couldn't even compare, but again different players different styles. Plus add in the fact that RR had his own guitar line that to this day is selling above and beyond and also the RR marshall amplifier line while YJM just copied what Ritchie Blackmore did with the scalloped stratocaster frets or played reverse body or reversed headstock strats like Jimi Hendrix did. I'm a fan of both but YJM was intimidated by Dimebag Darrell on a nightly basis when he toured in support of Pantera, there's no way he could've held a torch to what RR has done, his ego would have gotten in the way.

He IS the best guitarist ever in rock history

[@FvkcYoutubeCensorship]

Man, even hearing the isolated track on KZbin gave me goosebumps. I can't imagine what it was like to hear him in person. Just utter awe

[@BLACKPHILANTHROPY]

It literally sounds so raw, amazing but with enough imperfections that it sounds like it's being played by a real person standing right in front of you in the moment. That's fucking wild. You can tell my man is tearing up behind those shades

[@xj31]

I got goosebumps, Can't imagine what that did to Ozzy

[@lelafo]

Ripped his soul out for sure

[@joshw1962]

Marque Markofthebeast Just fuck off

Marque Markofthebeast how?

[@bakerXderek]

I would love to just sit with ozzy and chat about Randy and the old days, would be so amazing.

[@93FordMustang93]

bakerXderek CHEEAAAAAAHHHHH

[@calebbartlett367]

I don't think he would like talking about him to a great extent because Ozzy would probably get emotional!

[@467sprite]

I would love to sit with Izzy and try to understand what he says lol

[@Xenoforge78]

+467sprite Iggy Azalea? Yeah, It'd be interesting to try and understand what he says...

[@gh0stdem0n666]

467sprite izzy from guns n roses?

[@amethyst8399]

one of the greatest guitar solos ever written and performed to this day.

[@dragonsblooddragonsblood]

he was light years ahead of the rest of them, sad that we will never know what could have been,

[@joes0406]

Not really hard...he would've been pushed to the side today like the rest of the old talents.

[@Fire_Marshall_Bill]

We know in our hearts what he is though. A legend.

[@jimiguitar6324]

Light years ahead? Your fucking delusional if you think that open mouth insert foot

[@chand101099]

Randys solo at the end gave me the chills, Randy is the greatest guitarist who ever walked this planet.

[@thestaticdial]

randy rhoads

[@lunacatfish]

Wow, me too.

[@kc768]

Randy was not just a great guitarist. He was a gifted composer as well. Criminally underrated. He was a smart guy on how metal works. He also had a great feel for arranging the songs. He's still deeply missed to this day
