00:01:16 - On this occasion I'm going to introduce you to a character that we have half forgotten in this podcast

00:01:24 - We only present a single theme in the first chapters that I was talking about

00:01:32 - The Moon or Barkals of the Moon

00:01:35 - Today I'm going to bring you a great theme of the first album

00:01:40 - Blizzard of Oz recorded with the great guitarist Randy Rottz, the song is called Crazy Train.

00:01:51 - Let's remember that if Ozzy had abandoned Black Sabbath in 1979, the band had been dissolved and had to reinvent itself.

00:02:03 - She met Sharon Arden, who later became her wife, daughter of a big record label producer in the United States, and this woman was the one who reinvented it.

00:02:26 - Along with guitarist Randy Roths, bassist Bob Dyslay formed this huge band.

00:02:35 - This is how this new formation was gestated and composed the themes that they were going to include in their first album.

00:03:01 - A process that Ozzy has always remembered as very fun, because he had nothing to lose, said the great singer.

00:03:11 - After all, he did enjoy how beautiful it was.

00:03:15 - It seems that the hardest work fell on Randy and Bob, in charge of being the architects of Blizz out of Fox.

00:03:23 - They prepared the music,

00:03:26 - Ozzy made melodies about some parts of the same, and Dice Lay was mainly responsible for turning those parts into phrases.

00:03:38 - The theme, of course, would be centered on Ozzy's character, his past, and what he wanted to project himself into that dark aura of the devil of heavy metal.

00:03:56 - One of the first songs they composed was Crazy Train and this one could not be the greatest.

00:04:12 - Very soon the delirious travel of that train became a classic.

00:04:19 - His ascension to the charts was overwhelming and left the whole world open for such a resurrection.

00:04:27 - In particular, he caught attention to the distress of the so far unknown guitarist Randy Rodds.

00:04:37 - He came from Coy Riot, which at that time was not a very popular group in the United States.

00:04:49 - It is an anthological riff that always served as a presentation card.

00:05:03 - The band sounded wonderful, or if I sang like it was years ago, with a madness and euphoria or life that I put in the foreground, and that such a randy marked the soundtrack path, and refreshing to follow for the band.

00:05:27 - There are two versions of how the Riff of Crazy Train came out.

00:05:33 - Red Leon, an old member and band partner of Randy Roth's in Quaid Riot, said

00:05:40 - We were spending a while and I showed Randy the Swing-Town Riff by Steve Miller.

00:05:49 - When you accelerate that riff, we did several laps and the next thing Randy did was take it to another level.

00:06:00 - However, Vod Dijsley, the bassist of the first OZI album, insists that that characteristic riff, in less sustained phase of Crazy Train, was from Randy.

00:06:16 - I wrote the part for him to do a solo and OZI had the vocal melody.

00:06:22 - The title came because Randy had an effect that produced a psychedelic sound through his amplifier. Randy and I were in love with the trains and I told him that it sounds like a crazy train or if he had this said you are out of luck so I used it in the letter.

00:06:45 - Max Norman, who was the sound engineer at the recording of this album, said, if you listen to Crazy

00:06:57 - Train very closely, you will hear that there is a main guitar around the center and other two playing exactly the same, panoramic from left to right, what happens is that you

00:07:10 - You don't listen to it. You only listen to it as a guitar.

00:07:15 - Randy was the best guy I've ever seen in recording alone and following them.

00:07:23 - The great Cuban bassist, Rudy Sarso, tells us an anecdote of a time related to his return to the band.

00:07:36 - I've never hidden that I was Cuban. Everyone knew it.

00:07:40 - I'll give you an example.

00:07:42 - When I started playing with Ozzy Osbourne, the first day I did the audition, audition, audition, audition.

00:07:55 - I did the audition, they gave me the job, they said, okay, you're the bass player of Ozzy Osbourne.

00:08:05 - So after I did the audition, that same day I did an interview with a magazine called Circus, Circus Magazine.

00:08:13 - So in those days, the media was a little slower.

00:08:20 - For example, if I did an interview with a magazine like Circus, it was when the interview came out.

00:08:28 - It's not like today that I do an interview on the internet and you go out that same night.

00:08:33 - It wasn't like that.

00:08:35 - So I was already in Gira, with Asia Assbun.

00:08:38 - And I went to a place and there were magazines, magazines, magazines.

00:08:45 - And I saw Asia in the door.

00:08:49 - And I said, ah, in the end the interview came out like this.

00:08:53 - The day I joined the group.

00:08:56 - So I started reading the magazine.

00:09:01 - And I saw he was talking about Randy Rhodes, Tommy Aldridge, and when he came to my name, he told me about Rudy from Cuba.

00:09:12 - Rudy is from Cuba.

00:09:16 - He knew my name.

00:09:19 - And I tell you, I've never, never, never had a chance to be treated or felt like a kind of racism or anything, nothing.

00:09:35 - Even for them, I think I wanted to, you know, the English thought is very flexible.

00:09:43 - Flexible, that they feel comfortable, where they put their umbrellas.

00:10:13 - Crazy, but that's how it goes

00:10:35 - Millions of people living as fools

00:10:42 - Maybe it's not too late

00:10:49 - To learn how to love and forget how to hate

00:10:56 - Mental wounds not healing, life's ability to save

00:11:03 - I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

00:11:08 - I'm going up the rails on a crazy train

00:11:19 - Let's go

00:11:27 - I've listened to creatures, I've listened to fools

00:11:32 - I watch only dropouts who make their own rules

00:11:40 - What was the condition to rule and control?

00:11:47 - The media says it, then you leave the road

00:11:54 - I know that things are going wrong, but I know that things are going wrong

00:12:04 - I know that things are going wrong, but I know that things are going wrong

00:12:14 - I know that things are going wrong, but I know that things are going wrong

00:12:23 - When you're on for me

00:12:27 - You gotta listen to my words

00:12:53 - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

00:13:23 - It's a cold war, that's what we become Inheriting troubles, I'm mentally numb

00:13:36 - Crazy, I just cannot live I'm living with something that just isn't fair

00:13:50 - Metal wounds are peeling through our minds to plane
