00:00:36 - We are again from the province of Cordoba, Argentine Republic doing classic rocks all time for everyone. Today, I am going to introduce you a theme of the heavy metal god Ozzy Osbourne from his first album Blizzard of Oz, the song Crazy Train.

00:01:15 - After his departure from Black Sabbath, Ozzy had to start a new career with the support of Sharon Arden, daughter of a successful producer of the time.

00:01:30 - The band that recorded this song and this album consisted of Ozzy Osbourne, Voice, Randy

00:01:37 - Rhodes, Guitar, Bob Daisley, Bass, backing vocals, Lee Kerslake, Drums, Tubular Bells,

00:01:45 - Timpani and Don Aire, keyboards.

00:01:50 - On this album, featured a great guitarist Randy Rhodes, who could not enjoy his career in the success of the band, as he later died in a plane crash.

00:02:00 - Rhodes, Daisley and Osborn composed much of the album at a rehearsal facility in Monmouth,

00:02:08 - Wales.

00:02:11 - About the song Crazy Train.

00:02:13 - Bob Daisley relates that Crazy Train's signature F-sharp minor riff was from Randy.

00:02:19 - Then I wrote the part for him to solo and Ozzy had the vocal melody.

00:02:23 - The title came because Randy had an effect that produced a psychedelic sound through his amp.

00:02:30 - Randy and I were fond of trains and I said, that sounds like a crazy train.

00:02:35 - Ozzy had this saying, you're wayward, so I used it in the lyrics.

00:02:40 - Biting the first album while auditioning drummers.

00:02:43 - Lee came in at the very end after we had all the material for that first album written.

00:02:49 - So, you know, we were auditioning drummers time and now some, you know, were there for a few days, some lasted a couple of hours, you know, a couple of times we thought, oh, this guy might be good, but he didn't quite work out.

00:03:02 - At that time, we were writing for, you know, Randy had risks and he had ideas, and it was usually Randy and I would sit on a chair opposite each other and work things out together musically.

00:03:14 - Most of the main riffs were randies, but the music part, we did together.

00:03:21 - Now, what we'd do then would be to play a sort of idea of a song, a backing track kind of thing, and Ozzy would sing a melody over it.

00:03:31 - And a lot of his melodies were very good.

00:03:32 - You know, Ozzy was melodic in his vocal tune, you know, his melodies.

00:03:38 - And then, there weren't any other lyricists in the band.

00:03:43 - Well, I'd written songs in the past, but I didn't regard myself as, well, I'll be the lyricist.

00:03:50 - But we wanted to keep the writing within the band, and Ozzy had never written lyrics.

00:03:55 - Giza Butler wrote them in Black Sabbath.

00:03:57 - Randy wasn't a lyricist, and neither was Lee, really.

00:04:02 - So I said, well, look.

00:04:04 - I remember rehearsing at a place in Wilfinshaw, which is in Suffolk in England, a place called

00:04:15 - Trans Am Trucking. It was a rehearsal place and I came down one morning and Ozzie and

00:04:21 - Randy had been trying to write lyrics for one of the songs and it was awful.
