Info for Diary Of A Madman

2011 marks the 30th anniversary of Ozzy's second solo release, Diary of a Madman. This landmark album took metal in a new direction in the early 1980's, inspiring new generations of rock bands and fans. Restored and remastered from the original tapes for this definitive edition, this hard rock masterpiece showcases Ozzy's musical collaboration with late guitar hero Randy Rhoads.

Released three years after his departure from Black Sabbath, „Diary Of A Madman“ is Ozzy's second solo album. A true metal masterpiece, the record features Randy Rhoads (previously in Quiet Riot). Diary Of A Madman“ and its successors showed that Ozzy could not only make it on his own, but exceed his former bandmates in popularity.

"Over The Mountain" rumbles in and features the often imitated-never duplicated soloing of Randy Rhoads. The man is arguably the most influential guitarist in heavy rock besides Eddie Van Halen. "Flying High Again" follows, and is Ozzy's ode to non-stop partying. "Tonight" is a wonderful ballad, showing Randy's tasteful restraint. "S.A.T.O." is vintage Osbourne, with metal riffage only he can deliver. The title track begins with beautiful electric and acoustic guitar overdubs, and concludes the record with bombast. It is clear the Ozzman is at his peak on this album. Ozzy will never be considered a "singer's singer," and his penchant for biting the heads off live animals may overshadow his musical abilities. But albums like Diary Of A Madman“ show why he will forever be the Godfather of Heavy Metal.
