A founding member of Black Sabbath, Osbourne helped transform the world of hard rock music into what would be later understood as Heavy metal.\u00a0 However by the end of the seventies, Osbourne had been ejected from the band and was struggling to chart a path forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter Sharon Arden, who recruited his new bandmates including the incomparable &#8211; Randy Rhoads. Together, they wrote and recorded the song and album which would kickoff Osbourne\u2019s incredible and long lasting solo care<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">er &#8211; \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy Train\u201d on the album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard of Ozz.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In April of 1979, Ozzy Osbourne was ejected from the band he had helped form &#8211; Black Sabbath. And he found himself in a downward spiral. He recalled to Classical Rock Magazine in 2002: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#8217;d got \u00a396,000 for my share of the name, so I&#8217;d just locked myself away and spent three months doing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cocaine\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">coke<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and booze. My thinking was, &#8216;This is my last party, because after this I&#8217;m going back to Birmingham and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jobseeker%27s_Allowance\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the dol<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was Sharon Arden who helped Ozz get back on to his feet (the pair would get married 3 years later). Her family was also managing Black Sabbath at the time, and at first her efforts were to get Ozzy back in the band. When it became clear that they wouldn\u2019t accept Osbourne back, she quickly started putting together a new band for the dejected singer.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new band was called the Blizzards of Ozz and there was one member that changed everything &#8211; guitarist Randy Rhoads. Sharon recalled in her autobiography: \u201cRandy completely blew Ozzy away. He was like a gift from God. He was nice and funny and a brilliant musician, and he had drive\u2026And Ozzy and him connected so well. Everything about him was perfect.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhoads was young, but already an incredible guitarist. Before joining up with Osbourne, he had been playing in the Los Angeles band Quiet Riot.\u00a0 Reflecting back after his premature death, Osbourne told MOJO magazine:\u00a0 \u201cHe\u2019d fall asleep holding his guitar. He played classical guitar.\u201d\u00a0 He would take lessons with local music teachers he\u2019d looked up in the phone books while on tour. He had even dreamed of going to school for a degree in classical guitar to record his own solo album.\u201d\u00a0 As a guitarist, the man was a force of nature.. But for Osbourne, he was also the person who Osbourne felt the most comfortable writing music. \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with bassist Bob Daisley, Osbourne and Rhoads began writing music together at a live-in studio in Monmouth, Wales. Together the trio wrote many of the songs which would appear on their first album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard of Ozz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Daisley told songfacts that writing with Osbourne and Rhoads was easy: \u201c&#8230;It flowed well. When the band was first together, it really was just Ozzy and Randy and me, because we were writing the stuff and auditioning drummers at the same time &#8211; we didn&#8217;t have Lee [Kerslake]. [&#8230;] Writing with Ozzy was fairly easy because we had a little songwriting machine going. Randy and I would work on music together just sitting on chairs opposite each other, and then we&#8217;d put parts together and then we&#8217;d knock it off and Ozzy would sing a melody over it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhoads has been credited with inspiring many of the album\u2019s most famous tracks, through his creativity coming up with inventive guitar riffs. With Rhoads\u2019 incredible and virtuosic talents on display, the trio was able to write an album of incredible tracks together including: \u201cCrazy Train\u201d \u201cI Don\u2019t Know\u201d \u201cMr. Crowley\u201d and \u201cSteal the Away (The Night).\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCrazy Train\u201d was the album\u2019s first single release and really can be credited with kicking off Osbourne\u2019s solo career. It too emerged from a Rhoads riff.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daisley told songfacts: &#8220;Randy had the basic riff, the signature riff. Then we worked on music together. He needed something to solo on so I came up with a chord pattern and the section for him to solo over\u201d\u00a0 Daisley\u2019s bass part, however, is equally important. An iconic, rhythmic drive &#8211; the various sections of the bass line keep the energetic push of the song moving forward. \u00a0 Osbourne brings his theatrics and personality (which he had honed in Black Sabbath) to \u201cCrazy Train\u201d with that iconic song opening of screaming and laughter.\u00a0 And while most of the music was written before they had found a drummer, Lee Kerslake\u2019s playing certainly fits right into the sound of what Osbourne, Rhoads and Daisley had been creating.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The song title came together as Daisley and Rhoads realized that the riff, along with Randy\u2019s experimentations of psychedelic-sounding pedals gave the impression of an unusual locomotive. Daisley explained: \u201cRandy was into trains &#8211; he used to collect model trains and so did I. I&#8217;ve always been a train buff and so was Randy. So I said, &#8216;Randy, that sounds like a train. But it sounds nuts.&#8217; And I said, &#8216;A crazy train.&#8217;\u201d\u00a0 With this inspiration in mind, Daisley wrote the lyrics and Osbourne came up with joyous melody.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard of Ozz<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> album was recorded at Ridge Farm Studio, one of England\u2019s first residential recording studios, located near the Surrey-Sussex border.\u00a0 Chris Tsangarides was brought in to produce the album, but studio engineer Max Norman ended up stepping into the role after the band weren\u2019t pleased with Tsangarides work and fired him.\u00a0 Norman recalled: \u201cI was just the resident studio engineer. We had just built that room and put in a new Solid State Logic Board. It was the 2nd one in England. At that time, it was a big deal. I didn&#8217;t want <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to sound like crap. But it didn&#8217;t sound too good with Chris to start. [&#8230;] The band were looking a little glum&#8230; When Chris would leave the control room, I would replay the tape in the headphones and rebalance the mix to make it sound decent. [&#8230;] Then Ozzy fired him and then called me and asked me if I wanted to do the record. And I said \u2018Sure&#8217;! That&#8217;s how I ended up producing and engineering that record and the next four.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The album was basically recorded live with all four band members play in the same room\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rhoads would triple track his solos, in spite of how complicated they often were.\u00a0 Once he\u2019d figured out how he wanted the solo to go, he would amazingly replicate it note-for-note with no problems.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The group&#8217;s first single \u201cCrazy Train\u201d from the album was released a few days before the album itself. And it was billed, as expected, to the band as the Blizzard of Ozz with Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s name included in smaller print. However when the intended self-titled album, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard of Ozz <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was released, Osbourne\u2019s name was in the largest print, giving the effect of it being a Ozzy Osbourne solo record, with Blizzard of Ozz as simply a title.\u00a0 And this is largely how history remembers the album. Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s first solo record, but one with an incredible cast of musicians. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blizzard of Ozz <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">album was a commercial success. By 1997, it had been certified 4x platinum.\u00a0 As a single, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy Train&#8221; peaked in 1981 at number 9 on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Billboard_(magazine)\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billboard<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mainstream_Rock_(chart)\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot Mainstream Rock Airplay<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chart.\u00a0 It launched Osbourne\u2019s successful solo career, but is perhaps best remembered <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for introducing the world to the talents of Randy Rhoads who would die tragically young in a plane crash only a few years later.\u00a0 His playing set the stage for generations of metal and hard rock guitarists who continue to model their writing and solos on this incredible player.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-nFdNktopL0\"><strong>Watch the full video on Ozzy Osbourne &#8211; Blizzard Of Ozz<\/strong><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGeUhRWFBjYnlIU3clMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Written by Caitlin Vaughn Carlos\u00a0 \u00a0Ozzy Osbourne has been at the forefront of metal since its inception.
