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.

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

불세출의 기타리스트 랜디로즈를 추모하는 라이브 명반이다.
오지를 싫어해도 이 앨범 하나는 가지고 있을만 하지 않을까 싶다.
기타를에전문적으로 능통한 팬은 아니지만 듣자하면 전통적으로 락 기타리스트들의 기본적인 바탕은
펜타토닉을 기반으로 하는 연주를 많이 하던 시기에... Read More

90년대 초엽 최후의 걸작 No More Tears 라이브 투어 중 Ozzy Osbourne은 은퇴를 고려하고 있었다. 그때 그의 나이 50세도 되지 않았던 시점이니 은퇴를 생각하기에는 지나치게 이른 나이가 아닌가 싶다. 하지만 만성적인 약물 중독과 알콜 의존에 따른 건강 악화, 팬들과 언론의 과도한 주목을 받는... Read More
