Mr. Crowley

[Thunderlips71]

A lot going on here:
- The bass player is sporting a bad perm, red unitard, and RDS’ white go-go boots
- The drummer is Freddie Krueger in an Afro wig
- Randy Rhoads plays beautiful music. Simply beautiful
- Ozzy Osbourne botches a couple verses before finding his footing, all while sporting a bejeweled top so he doesn’t forget his name. It appears Ozzy is shocked to discover there’s a drummer behind him in the last few moments.

Fun fact: Aleister Crowley‘s name is mispronounced in the song; s/b “crow-lee”

Prepare to rock:

Just a weird dynamic all around. IIRC, it was filmed in an empty studio, no audience, for a local morning show.

Years back I read ‘ Diary of a drug Fiend’ by Aleister Crowley.

“I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.”

This is just what happens sometimes when your performing left hand path magic. Luckily they didn’t have high def tv back then so there weren’t enough pixels to allow the magic to get everybody.

He didn't write or play on any of the Ozzy studio records. Bob Daisley wrote the music and played bass on those records. He has a single writing credit on Quiet Riots dogshit Condition Critical. He played on Whitesnakes Slip It In.

He posed and licked his fingers in videos. He looked good.

Ozzy (Sharon) had quite the habit of screwing over the musicians who wrote his music. It’s quite sad to read about all the talented people who’ve worked with him over the years and not received the credit they deserve.

oh for sure dude. They screwed a lot of people over. Bob Daisley is probably the worst.

Randy Rhoads was obviously an incredible guitarist. I've never liked his tone though.

I feel the exact same way.
