My most played album #58. Ozzy Osbourne - Diary of a Madman. The second studio album was released on 7 November 1981. Near perfect like the first album. Sold 3 million copies. Randy Rhodes was amazing on the guitar again. Look out for the 2002 reissue, the removal of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake's original bass and drum tracks. The re-issue featured re-recorded bass and drum tracks contributed by Osbourne's then-bassist and drummer Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin. The removal happened after Daisley and Kerslake had successfully sued Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon in court, winning songwriting credits and royalties for their contributions to the album.

불세출의 기타리스트 랜디로즈를 추모하는 라이브 명반이다.
오지를 싫어해도 이 앨범 하나는 가지고 있을만 하지 않을까 싶다.

오지 오스본이 가장 아끼는 기타리스트였던 랜디로즈 라이브 음반, 아끼는 이의 죽음을 애도하듯 제목은 tribute라는 헌정앨범으로 만들어졌다. 오지 시절과 블랙 새버스시절 유명곡이 선정되어 베스트 음반격으로 생각해도 무방할정도이며 정규앨범을 뛰어넘는 아름다운 감수성과 랜디로... Read More
