Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads Appreciation Thread

[asr]

For the record, I hate most Heavy Metal music. There are VERY few bands from this genre I like:
AC/DC
Roth-Era Van Halen
Rage Aginst The Machine
Thin Lizzy
Only one Judas Priest album (Sad Wings of Destiny)
and, of course, Black Sabbath.

Which brings me to the two solo albums with the late Randy on guitar, Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz. The better albums of the New Wave of British Metal movement of the early Eighties.

I'll support a metal thread!

I have the Ozzman Cometh compilation. What a great bunch of songs!

Bark At The Moon
Shot In The Dark
Mama I'm Coming Home
No More Tears
Back On Earth

Crazy Train FTW.

And asr, I'm surprised you'd mention the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest and not name Iron Maiden, the supreme kings of this movement.

The guitar solo on Mr Crowley is superb

Ozzy =

Rhoads guitar works is solid on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman!!!!

You Can't Kill Rock and Roll is one bad ass song......one of the slow meandering songs that rocks the eff out!!!!
