🎼7 November 1981. 40 years ago Ozzy Osbourne released his second studio album which will gain him forever the nickname "Madman" within the Heavy⚡️Metal scene. The album is in fact entitled Diary of a Madman 👹
It's the last studio album featuring legendary #guitarist and Ozzy's friend Randy Rhoads who would leave this world few months later 😔
As for many episodes in #OzzyOsbourne career and life, this album raised endless controversies and lawsuits, because most of the musicians involved remained uncredited, thus not getting payed and not earning any royalies for their work 🤦♂
Here's the first track of the album with the stunning intro riff🤘 by (uncredited) #drummer #LeeKerslake🥁 and #RandyRhoads🎸

Ozzy Osbourne - Over The Mountain - Original LP Remastered
Original vinyl pressing digitally remastered with HD Cassette.
🎼19 March 1982.
40 years ago Randy Rhoads, one of the most talented Heavy⚡️Metal #guitarist, left this world in a stupid plane crash aged 25... he played his last concert the night before and he could have stayed sleeping in the tour bus with his friends and band mates #OzzyOsbourne, #TommyAldridge, #RudySarzo... or he could have just stayed on the ground taking pictures with #DonAirey (who was on that fun flight taken without permission by their tour bus driver high on drugs, just minutes before Randy)...
Randy was afraid of flying and he flew away 😔
