Aaron MartellHOST
Uh, I became an Ozzy Osbourne fan with Bark at the Moon in 1983, which was one of a handful of records that brought me out of '80s pop purgatory [laughs] and back into hard rock, heavy metal.
Aaron MartellHOST
So, I went back and got Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, and then I just followed the Ozz man going forward up until No More Tears.
Aaron MartellHOST
I wasn't the biggest fan of that record.
Aaron MartellHOST
I, I thought it was okay.

Rudy Sarza, welcome to Backstage Money.
Rudy SarzoGUEST
Great to be here.
Rudy SarzoGUEST
No, I just want to clear, when I joined the band, Ozzy Osbourne, in 1981, both Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman were already recorded.
Rudy SarzoGUEST
So I got to play on the tribute album, which is The Line with Randy Rhoads, and I got to play on Speak of the Devil, which is the Black Sabbath re-recordings.
Jason K. PowersHOST
Okay, good.
Mike OrfanosHOST

Mike OrfanosHOST

SeamusHOST
Uh, obviously I think the three big ones are, are three essential records.
SeamusHOST
Blizzard of Oz in 1980, Diary of a Madman in 1981, Embark on the Moon in 1983.
SeamusHOST
Blizzard of Oz has Crazy Train, Mr. Crowley.
SeamusHOST
It was the record with Randy Rhodes before Randy Rhodes died.
SeamusHOST
Um, Obviously, Diary of a Madman had the eponymous, or not the eponymous, but the title track, Diary of a Madman, which is a really, really big song.
SeamusHOST
But it's also Rhodes' final record with Ozzy before he died in a plane crash.
SeamusHOST
And then Bark at the Moon, I think, is one of the more commercially sounding records that he did.
SeamusHOST
I want to see the Wolfman embark at the moon.
Kelly Marie FaulknerHOST
Yeah.
Jeffrey ThomasGUEST
And I was gonna play the, a Leo Brouwer study, which is what Randy used for the intro for Diary of a Mad Man.
Kelly Marie FaulknerHOST
Mm-hmm.
Jeffrey ThomasGUEST
He edited a little bit, but it's pretty much taken from that, and on classical guitar.
Drew FaheyHOST

Drew FaheyHOST

EricGUEST
They just do it, uh, cryptically.
EricGUEST
But I got to, I got to examining the, uh, cover of Diary of a Madman, and I don't know if you remember the album cover.
EricGUEST
Uh, it shows Ozzy kind of bloody and psychotic, and there's a little kid in a table behind him, and then behind him on the wall there's a upside-down cross hanging.
Steve StocktonHOST
Mm-hmm.
EricGUEST
And it was invented back in the, I wanna say the 14 and 1500s.
EricGUEST
The Greek word that's on the parchment is Allah, and Allah is the Greek number 666.
EricGUEST
And then I got to looking at the cover of, uh, Speak of the Devil, which was, um, the album after Diary of a Madman.
EricGUEST
Uh, this was right after Randy had passed, and it's an album of all the songs Ozzy did with Black Sabbath except it's him doing it with his band.
