ten of his most iconic tracks, from the stadium shaking opener,
Crazy Train to the eeriness of Diary of a Madman.

Last week as I was coming back from Mexico, I
was at the Cantino Laredo Bar restaurant bar the gate
bee of the DFW airport, and we was talking to
the bar guys, just having having a beer and get
some chips and caeso, you know, and uh, we were
talking about podcasts. It just kind of came up where

Yeah, So hey, for this week, I picked a band.
It's you know, we've been talking about them for a
little while, right, We're talking about Dexter in the Moon Rocks.
Ah yeah, right, So for this week, I picked their
song Autopilot. I just can't get enough of these guys
and the EPs they're putting out. So it's just another
single from the band Dexter in the Moon Rocks. Autopilo
(02:49):
was actually released as single in twenty twenty three clocks
in three minutes, thirty seconds. They've got a set list
that's on Apple Music right now, so I see that
there's a lot of push for these guys what we've
been talked about for the past several months. But even
Apple Music did kind of like their set list of
all the songs they have from their EPs. So check
out you know, Apple Music and Dexter in the Moon Rocks.
(03:10):
I just really like the song.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
I just got so much great stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, like JD you know my son, he he absolutely
loves the song Serotonin.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Oh yeah, it's so.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Good, Like it's funny. I was looking through like what's
this kid listening to these days? Sure enough, I pull
it up and I see Dexter in the moonrock Serotonin
on there. I'm like, Okay, he must have heard this
with me on the way to school and like added
it to his uh you know, I mean this playlist.
But I did the new song cry Yeah, it's so awesome.
I think I had that a Song of the Week
not too long ago. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I just can't stop lasting these guys. And they're like
heavy rotation.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
I mean, dude, it's an interesting mix because they play
off of, you know, kind of existing genres, but they
meld them together in.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
A way that it's new. It's super catchy.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah, whatever, the space grunge, Western spacetrue, western space grunge genre.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Like I'm really digging it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I'm like, I like, I'm like, when are these guys
coming locally? Like whatever they're doing, they're doing it. Whatever
they're doing, they're doing it right, and I think they're
gonna hit it big so soon.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Man. I can't wait. Absolutely, man. Yeah, so where do
you got going on? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So on a similar vein, I mean, not a band. Uh, well,
we've seen this fan. That's where I was kind of
going with this. When we were watching the men's singers.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
And this is the dude that quit his job at
the post office. This is Yes, this is liquid mic mic.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, and this is their new song It's fantastic, just
released as a single recently called Clause and it's actually
off the upcoming sixth studio album of Theirs. It's called
Hell is an Airport. I can't really disagree with that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I would agree that with my extensive travel experience. I
am Hell is like that.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
If you want to envision Hill, just go through many
of the airport's.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
My sales, airport the experience that. But yeah, that one's
coming out in September.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
On the twelfth. Yeah, And I mean, man, these guys are.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
The great about them is if they release catchy tracks
but they don't waste your time. No, you know, like
there's like two minutes, but it's a great song, great
catch a song.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, Yeah, I dug it.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
And when I went back and listened to the last album,
Paul Bunyinslingshot, I mean it's just like not a bad
song on the whole album.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Everything is catchy, everything is fine.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
It's great to see young Ben's working their way using
social media and using kind of the streaming services as
a way to get their footprint in And well.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I mean they've released like an album every year or more,
right since coming out in twenty twenty. I mean, it's
really impressive just how much songwriting he does.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
He's obviously very prolific. Welly, you work hard.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
You gotta keep working, yeah, man, he shout out to
Liquid Mike. The song is clause off the upcoming album
Hell is an Airport, coming out on the twelfth of September.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Okay, awesome, so check out. We'll have to do a
review on that one it comes out.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Hey, I'm kind of interested for sure. Yeah. Check It
would be a good one, good episode. All right, are
you ready? Yeah, let's do it. Alright, alright, alright.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right, it's another episode of the Bitches in Mine.
And you know what that means. It's another round of
stump the baron on, stuff the baron. I pick a
random song from a random genre. Give Adam a few clues.
With all his semi genre specific general knowledge of music,
attempts to guess the artist.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Album and song title.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
All Right, we are in the year nineteen eighty seven,
around the same genre as the late great Ozzy Osbourne.
The band We're Gonna talk About Today has a lead singles.
The lead single from the band's self titled debut, The
band Style is Doing for their perfect blend of muscular
hard rock and glam drama.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Okay, are you ready? All right, let's do it?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Okay, Oh cheez wild Side? Nope, No, it's that riff
(07:05):
for I know what you mean.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah, it's got a very similar but think before that.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I got to get to the chorus, apparently because I
can't place this off the top of my head, and.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
The band seem so many slither.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Okay, I mean, I know who you're talking about, but
I'm trying to think the song name before I talk
about the band.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I mean, I know it's White Snake. Ah, jeez, I
should know this. I'm not just gonna take a cheesy
guess based upon a line in the song You should
you really the Night off them? In the Still a Night? Okay,
Still the Night off the self titled debut, White Sneak,
(08:00):
White Snake.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Okay, all right, I was wondering if you picked never
a White Snake guy, but I was wondering if you
would pick up I know enough about them, but it's
like I never really listened to them a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
If you picked almost any other.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Well pick I was kind of going for the middle
school stuff and what you would listen to around it,
Ozzie solo, career, things like that, and I was like,
I don't know, it's fifty to fifty.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah. I was like, it's gonna be fifteen to fifty now.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
It was a good challenge, but it was kind of
a deep one where like, you know, if you're a
hair metal guy, you would pick it up right, but
if you want a hair metal guy.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
You may not.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I was just kind of half in, half out with
the hair metal that was the thing. And so A
White Snake was not one of those bands that I
gravitated towards. You know, not to say that they weren't good.
They got some great songs, but it was just for
some reason, I just never found my way to them.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
But good you stump me today, Yeah, you got me.
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
It was easy really pick of a song. I was like, oh,
that one that was like, oh, I bet he doesn't
have that one. I like it when it just comes easy, yeah,
because sometimes man, I got like search really hard for
a song because there's so much stuff that you know,
it's it's really hard to find something.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Well, you're good as stumping me, that's for sure. Well,
that's because I've known you for twenty years. That's true.
I kind of know what twenty five years, Todd, I know.
I know that's right. I could keep telling wife that
I know you and Darren longer. Well, it is true.
You've known me and Darien longer. You know that it's true.
All Right, man, are you ready? Let's do it?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
All right, here goes our tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. All right,
the first track we're talking about is Crazy Train. It's
track two off the Blizzard of Oz soundtrack, released on
September twentieth, nineteen eighty in the UK March twenty seventh,
nineteen eighty one in the US. Crazy Train clocks in
a four minutes and fifty second fifty six seconds. This
(09:38):
was the first solo single post Sabbath featuring Randy Roads.
Randy Roads, the Late Great Randy two times platinum in
the US, and it was used widely. It's used widely
today in sports arena culture. I think if there's.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Knockout tracks for baseball players in between, you know, like
timeouts and NFL college football.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, I mean, it's just dude, you name it.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
It's probably the main song that I think Ozzie's known
for is just all Over easily the number one. Yeah,
and I mean coming out with It's not even close.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Yeah, and after the departure from Black Sabbath, coming out
with a big one like this, you know, it's pretty big.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Well.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I mean, and it was a big risk to to
leave Black Sabbath and go out on his own. I mean, man,
he put together a banger of a band.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Yeah. One of the best guitar players to ever live. Yeah,
I mean, what do you think you're crazy? Training? Is
it one of your kind of like you like it?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Okay, oversaturated, oversaturated, but at the same time, like nostalgic,
think about the Rift, think about the solo, think about
Randy Rhodes. Yeah, I mean it's kind of the stuff
of legend. Sometimes it's like, yeah, okay, I heard this
a lot of times, but at the same times, like,
but man, it's still good.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, it's still really good.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, great, even in all honesty, So I can't I've
been oversaturated with it. But it doesn't mean that I
don't appreciate the genius of the song.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
That's kind of mine.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It's like you, it's instantly recognizable because it's played so
much right all the time. Right, you constantly hear it.
So it's something that I don't like. Oh, I purposely
go to and listen. Yeah, but it's instantly recommended. If
I hear it, it's like, I'm like, and I don't
turn out. I'm like, I'm not gonna tlip it. No,
it's crazy training of course you're not gonna flip.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
It all right.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Track number two, which is probably one of my favorite
Ausie tracks, we're talking about, mister Crowley.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's again.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
It's track number six off the Blizzard of Oz album
released in nineteen eighty clock sin at five minutes and
two seconds.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The organ intro you hear is from none other than
Dan Airy.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
It was based on British occultist Alistair Crowley.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, features two Langendary Rady road solos. You know it's funny.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So I've heard this song many times, but at the
same time, it never resonated with me. Oh yeah, I
don't know. It wasn't It just wasn't one that grabbed
me personally.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Mmmm.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Still again, not saying that it's not a great song
if it comes on.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I'm gonna listen to it, but it's not the one
I'm gonna go out and find.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Oh yeah, I just I like it. I like the
organ intro. It's kind of creepy. It's kind of creepy.
I like Randy Roman solos in it, and I was like, wow,
that's a freaking dark song. Yeah, and sometimes, you know,
I always tend to gravitate to those dark, dark songs.
Sometimes this is just one of those where it's it's
kind of cool.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I mean again, you got you got Randy Rhodes in there,
but I think got a cool organ intro. There's a
lot to like. But again, it just for me. It
wasn't the thing that grabbed me. But I understand why
people love the song.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Well, and I like it because of that guitar riff
after the verse that it's just it's so catchy.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
That's I listened to it. It's a vibe. Yeah, it's
the vibe. It's a vibe. The song is definitely a vibe.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All right, man, all right, next one we are gonna
go with No More Tears. We're talking about nineteen ninety one.
It's off the album No More Tears, Track four, we'rerather
long one seven minutes to twenty three seconds, and this
features guitarist Zach Wild.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Was this Robert Trhio on bass? I think so, yeah,
that's right. Who's currently bassist in Metallica? No, no, no, no,
this was Mike it was later and Alison. That's right,
it's Robert Trhio. I think came after is This song
is freaking awesome. This is a song like Zach Wild.
(13:10):
Just god, I know I've lit a song countless times.
It's probably my personal favorite Ozsy songne it never gets old.
Love the guitar loves Zach with the slide here. The
bassline just carries.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
It that intro that slide into it at The.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Drums are sparse, but it's perfect that way, you know.
And I mean this to me like, this is the
perfect Ozsy song to.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Make to me, crunchy yes, guitar tone.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
With that pinch harmonic that it hits dude, just again,
to me, this is the quintessential azzy song. This is
the one that grabbed me and still has me. And
it's told to this day. All right, I can keep
going on and on about it, but.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
No, no, just this is about a celebration so Bark
of the Moon, Bark at the Moon, not Bark of
the Moon, Bark at the Moon. It's all track one
off the album Bark Now.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
This was the first album after Randy passed, right, This
was nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
This is eighty three, okay, right, So it was released
November fifteenth, nineteen eighty three.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
The Diary of a Madman came after Blizzard of Oz
and then it was Bark at the Monk.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So, Jake E.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
Lee was what an unenviable task? Yeah, having to follow
up on Randy Rhoads. Man, it was the debut it was.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
It was Jake Lee's debut single post Randy Rhoades. Yeah,
and the video was actually a horror themed video. It
was on MTV, like the werewolf theme, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, And there was actually legal bottles over the song
running credits that kind of went for decades.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Was Bark at the Moon?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Well, JK Lee, I mean, again, unenviable job, trying to
follow up on Randy.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Roads, like, how do you shadow? How do you?
Speaker 3 (14:54):
But man, honestly, great song. Yeah, he'd great guitar work,
dude to Jake E. Lee, I mean he really did.
He nailed it. Yeah, you know, it's gonna be hard
to step out of the shadows of Randy Rhodes.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
But mean, guitar did a great job. Like great song. Yeah,
I agree. I love the rete really good. All right, ready, yeah,
let's do it man, all right. The next song.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
It's from the album No More Tears, Instantly recognized well,
released on November seventeenth, nineteen ninety one, clocking in at
four minutes and eleven seconds, co written with Lemmy of Motorhead.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
We're talking about mom, I'm coming home.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Okay, So it was interesting. I did not know that
he wrote this with Lemmy. Yeah, wow, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Okay, it kind of it's a deeper It brings it
to a deeper level, inn it. It does when you
realize Lemmy's involved with it. Yeah, there's a little bit
more of like, oh I like this one a little
bit more right that. That's kind of when I when
I read that fact, I was.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
Like, really, the whole album No More Tears is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Yeah, that's okay, I mean, and it's funny.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
It came out right around the time that grunge was
starting to ramp up, right, you have Nirvana coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
But it's still held its own, but it held its own.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
And again, even a lot of those guys, you know,
they benefited from Ozzie through metal kind of making bands
like Alison Chain's giving them a path forward, right right,
I mean Soundgarden, same kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Well, it was written like this was a ballad specifically
for Sharon. Yeah. It was Ozzy's highest charting solo.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
It's a classic, dude. Yeah, it is a great song.
I love it when it gets into the heavier parts
of the song as well. Yeah, Zach Wild Dude's the
man still killing it today?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Oh yeah, still killing it? Yeah, bro, that great song. Yeah.
I mean, you can't go wrong with my Mom coming Home. Yeah,
it was so easy to pick good Ozzie song.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
You know, It's funny, felt like I cheated putting this
whole podcast together.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
We're halfway through the list though, and it's interesting that
there's nothing from the Ozman Commeth on here see to
Me Don't get me wrong, like No More Tears is
the album. But I also loved the Osman Cometh which
I think came out in ninety five six see You
on the Other Side as a good track off that one.
I mean, there was some really great stuff on there,
(17:07):
but it doesn't get as much credit, like it doesn't
make the.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Well, yeah, I think when you have that later album, right,
his popularity a little bit.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Right, At the same time, he was still like a
legend in the genre. So that's why I'm a little.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well he was known, I think it. What's interesting, this
is actually a good segue, right, is I think after
that album his popularity declined. But then you saw the
MTV the show that Osbourne's on STV. But at that point,
Ozzie's not Ozzy Osbourne. He's Ozzy the Prince of darkness icon.
(17:41):
That's what he's known for it. Yeah, right, And so
for me, and he.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Was more a figurehead and less of like an active Yeah,
he was king of the genre, I would say, a character,
kind of a character, yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, I believe it was Ozzi the character that we
all hear about on tours and things like that. So
all those mannerisms and every thing just became prolific. I
think throughout overshadowed.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
The music a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I mean still, I mean, hell,
the reason I love Chipotle so much is because I
didn't know what Chipotle was until Ossie os But they
did that episode on the Osborne Yes, and then I
was just like, do you want a burrito?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Jack? And they went and got burritos. I was like,
what type of burrito is that?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
And I immediately found a Chipotle in Fort Worth where
he just opened, and I went and got a burrito.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
You know I met Jack Osborne? Oh yeah, yeah in
Maine last summer. Oh that's cool.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
How was that? He was a good dude, nice guy,
like super cool. Oh yeah at the jiu jitsu Was
he at that camp? Yeah, he was at the camp cool.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Yeah, he does jiu jitsu and so he was up
there as a guest of a guy. He has a
podcast all of his own. He's a former Navy seal
Andy Stump. Okay, he's like a Navy seal, but he's
also well known for doing like the squirrel suit, like
high speed goliah. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well, and he was
there as a guest of Andy Andy Stumps and.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Jack Osborne was doing a lot of those shows like
on National Geographic or something and into kind of those type.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Of yeah sports, nice guys.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I mean I recognized the accent saw him, thought, you
know what, I have the first season of the Osbourne's
on DVD. Still yeah, And I remember I looked at
him as like, that's Jack Osborne, and so I just
happened to be on the mats him. At the same time.
I was like, dude, I good to meet you, you know,
like watch the first couple of seasons. I initally got
away from me after that, but man, like, thanks for
all the entertainment.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
He was like, oh, no problem, make good to meet you. Man.
That's cool. Good dude, man, All right, moving on, all right.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Shot in the Dark for off the album The Ultimate Sin.
It was track five, released in January of nineteen eighty six,
clocks in at four minutes of twenty six seconds. It's
another JK Lee guitar backed track. This was the last
single before Ozzie's late eighties retirement.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
That's right. I forgot about that. He did retire and
the late eighties didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Peaked at number sixty eight on the Billboard Hot one hundred,
and it's rarely played live due to legal disputes.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Is it okay?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
So?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
So is it with Jakie Lee. I don't know much
about the legal side of things, but is it with
Jakie Lee?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Maybe it could be.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Because he seems like the common denominator in the two
songs that we talked about that had like legal battles.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think that's what it is. I didn't really chick
into that.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Just interesting it I just it's it's not the focus
of the podcast, but interesting.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
I mean good song. It was one.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I've heard it, not nearly as many times as I
would say the vast majority of the rest of the
songs on the list, but it's a good song on
the last.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, I think it's when you look at his solo career,
it's one of those where it's, yeah, it was popular,
is on the billboard, but it was the last release
before his you know, early retirement.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
And it's very different from your traditional Aussie as well. Yeah,
a little less heavy, like you said, melodic part of
the way that you introduced it.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
But it's still good. Yeah, yeah, still good. All right. Next,
all right, we're talking about Diary of.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
A Madman from the album Diary of a mad Man,
which is track eight, uh clocks in. It's six minutes
and fifteen seconds. It has a lot of orchestration and
neo classical elements to it. Is Randy Rhad's most ambitious
solo composition combines heavy riffs with the string sections, and
(21:10):
it's cited as proto symphonic metal end.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Wait, is this Diary of a mad Man? Or Over
the Mountain? This is Diary of a Madman? Okay, okay, gotcha.
I was just wondering.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I think I've probably just had my songs I missed up.
Not one that I'm really familiar with. No, it was
kind of like a deep one right well, And I
admittedly I never owned a copy of Blizzard of Oz.
I never went out and found that album. I hear
Crazy Trains so much that I just never really liked.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Well, you go out there, Oz, you should know everything
on Blizzard of Oz. Right. Diary of a Madman I
believe came after that.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Yeah, it was the album after that, So it's just
not one like that I went out and sought out.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Right, right, So probably you know when you have that
second album, when you.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Get my Ozzy Osbourne fandom came later than most. Of course,
I'm also younger than the average.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Probably around No.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
More Tears was when I got in to Ozzie and
like I want to say, bought the oz Man comment
and like you know, got into some of the later albums,
but I appreciate the earlier albums, but it's just.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Not as familiar with Yeah. Yeah, I'm being honest with you.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Like the singles, yeah, but not like the deeper album
tracks and such.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Yeah, this was just kind of one of those that,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
I'll have to go back and listen to it though,
because of the fact that it was Randy Rose being
ambitious on the guitar.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I mean that I have to hear, yeah for sure.
All right, man, all.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Right, Next we're at number nine on the list. We're
talking about the track I don't know, which is track
one off Leision of Oz five minutes and fourteen seconds.
This was kind of the opening statement to Ozzie's idea
as a solo artist. It is good stuff, dude, powerful
blend of you know, riff driven intensity, as well as
(22:53):
probably the philosophy of the lyrics and things like that.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
I mean, unless you would listen to Eddie van Halen,
which even at that time was just kind of a
different sound, different genre in a way. Yeah, like you were,
unless you listened to a lot of Eddie, you're kind
of unprepared for Randy rhads in his style.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Here, right, because this is like, do you think it's.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's a more thicker than Halen's style.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Well, so I would say that Eddie was less rift
driven and more solo driven, whereas Randy Rhodes was more
rift driven, rift driven, but every bit the virtue O
six soloist in his own right, right, I mean, two
branches off the same tree Van Halen Randy Rhodes. I
(23:36):
mean I remember watching an interview it wasn't that long ago,
a couple of months ago, Eddie than Halen talking about
Randy Rhoads and like the respect that he had for him,
and you know, like different styles but at the same
time like amazing guitar player, but dud great stuff. Man,
I've always liked this track. This one is one that
actually an old roommate of mine introducing it too.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Oh that's cool. Yeah, yeah, it's good stuff.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Right. Well, Hey, wrapping up the list us today, we
have a Flying High Again off of Diary of of
Mad Dan. Just Track four again, released in nineteen eighty one,
clocks in at four minutes and forty four seconds, hit
number two on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It's It's a it's never it's a stoner anthem. Look
get the album. The song title, I mean that tells
you all you need to do it. It's a stoner
Ozzie was on the drugs, all the drugs.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Yeah, and here's the thing could sid Despite its popularity,
Randy Rhodes thought it was this was just a pop track.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So he was like, it's tupop pop, tupop of all. Yeah,
but I thought this would be a cool one to
end on. I just thought he was kind of like
a little bit appropriate. And it's based on all the stories.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
So when I think of track, it's not not that
it was in the U the movie, but just the
title of the song makes me think about you remember
the dirt Yeah, Motley Crue Moley. Whenever they're at the
their pool side, yes.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The characters playing it.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
He's like, oh, you got us any snorting ants on
the ground and then he's the pe No, no, he
he licks the ants and then or no he peas
and then looks it the p yeah yeah, and like
he did that was like just real, yeah, dude, I
mean all that and the guy's.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Were like, oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
Yeah, I mean, like you hear some of Zach Wilde's
interview is like when he became a guitarist and they're
drinking and stuff like that. There's like as a guy
who lived every moment to its fullest and.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Wow, Yeah, like the biopic.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
Movie that comes out, If they find the right person
to play Ozzie and go through his career.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I would be really interested. Yeah they can.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I mean that's what's that's what's really popular right now.
You've got all those biopics like I think you gotta
you have.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Russell Brand looked more like Ozzy Osbourne. Yeah, he doesn't
look like him at all. No, he looks more like him.
I would cast Russell Brand just because he's the only
British actor that I can think of that automatically brings.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
The kind of a well, what about the guy who
played uh Eddie on that did the Masters of Puppets
guitar where he actually played it on Stranger Things? He's
the human torch in the Fantastic four First Steps movie online.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Oh you know what? Yeah, I know who you're talking about.
What else did I see him in recently? That guy,
he's in Stranger Things. It wasn't even that I saw
him in something else. He was just in Fantastic Four.
Fantastic four. Yeah, shoot, first Steps he was okay, yeah,
I mean I know who you're talking about. I'm admittedly
(26:36):
looking this up right now because he was in something
else recently and he was freaking brilliant and I'm trying to.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
I'm trying to remember what it was.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Dang it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Yeah, have you seen the Superman yet? No? I haven't, dude,
I'll be honest with you. Henry cavill as Superman.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Oh well, you made like the uh well, the what
James Gunn did on some of the punk stuff at
seald Tek stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You maybe dig the music they have it, it's pretty good.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Well, I give it a chance, take give it a chance.
I am not a huge James gunfan. I'm just not
like I can't.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Well, we will never talk about comic book movies again.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Well, you know, no, It's just there's other directors out
there that have done comic book stuff.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I just like their work. Oh you like the darker
graphic noggel tone. I want more.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Complex, man, Oh yeah, yeah, I want more complex like
even some of the Avengers movies and things.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Like that too.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Can't be like Takowa t I'm like, bro, come on, really,
Oh you like dark superhero movies. I like the darker
superhero movies. That's why I like Zack Snyder's stuff so much.
Like the Justice League one. Oh dude, it's so good.
I wish I could remember the uh it's first steps.
That's right, Okay, I mean I'm literally Joseph Quinn is
(27:54):
the guy's name, and he was in something else recently,
Gladiator too.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
He was one of the twin the brother so he
can do nuts and crazy but serious at the same time.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
I could see him being Ozzy. I could see that.
That's actually a really good call Todd. Yeah. He was
also in the movie Warfare.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah. Do you see Warfare?
Speaker 3 (28:15):
No?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Anyways, okay, we're straying away from Ozzie. He could play Aussie. Yeah,
definitely some board with that casting. We'll see if that is.
So what do you think of the show to do
you know? Ozzy Osbourne man was obviously controversial character. Yeah,
but at the same time, you know, he could tell
like he loved his kids, he loved his wife.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yeah, devoted to his wife.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I mean, despite you know the past issue, right, yeah,
I mean alcohol rocks rock stars you know well.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I mean, yeah, you you there's a lot that goes
into that that you and I will never understand, right well,
and I'm not going to condone any of it, but
I'm just saying we don't understand it.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, it's a whole other life.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
And I mean you hear it talk about like with
Hollywood and such a lot of these people, some of
them are so far away from being a regular human
being that they completely have lost like perspective on what
it is to be like you and me. But at
the same time, we can't relate to them.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
No, no, yeah, yeah, because when you have, when you're
in that type of environment, everything going on, like it's
you know, there's.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
A lot of you know, the challenges that are thrown
at you that some of them, like the stress and
things like that. It is no wonder a lot of
these folks will like turn to substances and weird behaviors
to cope because it's a hard life to live constantly
being in the public. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I just I when I saw kind of the Aussie tribute,
when I saw a bunch of that stuff on YouTube
when it came out, and you know, we all Texas
soon as we found like Donnie gave us the heads
up because I was in Mexico and we were like,
oh my gosh. I just like I was kind of
I wasn't prepared.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
For him that I go.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's kind of like, wow, man, I know he was
sick and and bad off, but I was really like,
it was.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Just a few weeks off of that final concert.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah, yeah, just a few weeks well, and it raised
so much money for Parkinson's and you know, h orphanages
and you know, just all that Philanthro and the whole
community came together just to celebrate his life and that.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
Was that was something.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
And what he brought to the table, I mean obviously
influenced an entire generation of musicians and spawned a genre
through Black Sabbath, and I mean, man, he cannot underestimate
the influence of.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Yeah, I would say, just as influential as a Led
Zeppelin or the Beatles.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
Beatles in his own way, yeah, I mean yeah, really honestly,
he kind of stood on the shoulders of the Beatles.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Hell.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
He would have told you that, like he loved the Beatles,
but at the same time, like envisions.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
Well, and he was different type of genres of music too,
Like you would I would like I remember on the
Osborne's he would like work out and get in tour
shape and list of like Whitney Houston, like Aretha Franklin.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
So we I mean his music. He was an.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Interesting but I'm afraid to like wear is his his
own personality on his sleeve, you know, And I respected that.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
But I think, you know, the whole country, the whole
world kind of fell in love with him about Osbourne's.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Got to see who he was.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
They saw that soft hearted man, like the prince of darkness.
Yeah it's so called, but at the same time, such
a soft hearted man who loved his family, loved the
people around him, was very loyal, you know, like.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
Yeah, yeah Osbourne.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, he may have been the Prince of darkness, but
Ozzy gave us light in the form of music and
that will never die.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, absolutely, you know, thank you for all the noise.
