The panned reverberation of the Ozzy Osbourne’s voice screaming “AAALLLLLL AABOOOOARRRDDD” makes a young child shudder with fear. Then comes the thudding of the bass and its drum counterpart in time with your heart. Cutting through the tension arrives the slashing guitar riff before the song evolves in to something relatively funky. The searing runs inbetween chords, on top of chords and inside chords by the widely missed Randy Rhoads prove his merit for being called one of the greatest guitarists ever, while Osbourne attempts to hold his notes while warbling his dark but thoughtful lyrics. Then comes the unreal guitar solo. Before the close of the song, Ozzy speaks with his voice pitched in to something quite horrific, which once again would panic a nervous 12-year old in to thinking the Prince of Darkness will emerge from his stereo system.
The Story
‘Crazy Train’ was originally written and released in 1980, by Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Randy Rhoads and all-around metal influencer Bob Daisley.
The track was a single from the ‘Blizzard of Ozz’ and Ozzy has never truly recreated the success of legacy that ‘Crazy Train’ produced.
The song was rearranged in to a jazz version for the reality TV show The Osbournes in 2002, starring the singer’s family and appeared on MTV.
