Description

Talk about flying high again. Originally released in 1981, Diary Of A Madman is Ozzy Osbournes sophomore solo smash and, sadly, the final studio album on which virtuoso guitarist Randy Rhoads appeared. A perfect foil for Osbournes creativity and an inimitable instrumentalist, Rhoads died in a plane crash in 1982 just as he and Osbourne were redefinining hard rock and mainstream heavy metal.

Branching further into classicist fields and expanding the sonic palette, Diary of a Madman epitomizes musical chemistry, raw skill, and dark moodiness. Osbourne and Rhoads light up every song here, and its no wonder many of the tunesFlying High Again, Believer, Over the Mountainremain part of the iconic vocalists concert set list.?
