    Ozzy was no longer welcome at Capital records. He snuck in when the bosses were having a meeting barged into the office and tossed a recording of crazy train on the table just before security grabbed him and escorted him out of the building. Just before they were to throw him on the sidewalk. They got call from the people in the office. And the rest is, well you know. Being a super ZEP fan. Ozzy with Randy allways shares time on my speakers. I don't know what day was my worst day. The day we lost Bonzo or the day we lost Randy.

  • @gabrielbarbosa8337

    I think my favorite to listen is I got the... by Labi Siffre. The most touching or that resonate the most with me is kinda hard to determine, but America by Simon & Garfunkel always strike a chord, as does I wish i knew how it would feel to be free by Nina Simone and Otis Redding's Sitting on the dock of the bay. I'm from Brazil though, and there are definitely national songs that rival those for me, but I chose to focus on english speaking songs here.

    Not that it justifies their actions but with the exception of Paige, these guys had never toured or been out the UK and we’re barely out of their teens the first time they came to the US. Plant and Bonham were reportedly scared shitless on their first tour.

    You miss the fact that The Rising Sun is a physical location in East Anglia, it's a pub on the most Eastern shore of England just outside Lowestoft. It was actually still open until 1970. The English folk songs that mention "The Rising Sun" are often from around East Anglia, which has a rich folk music tradition.

    When he was 15 Satriani heard a record where a guitarist was doing what he was trying to do at the time - a smooth legato technique. In a recent interview Satriani said: At that time I thought I need just some efforts and discipline to master the approach. Now I'm 60 and I understand I'm not even close to it. The record was a New Tony Williams Lifetime album. The guitarist was Allan Holdsworth, who is considered one of the greatest if not the greatest by Satriani himself and the guys like Steve Vai, Yngwiee Malmsteen, Ritchie Kotzen, Greg Howe, Eddie Van Halen, Ron Jarzombeck, Rick Beato and you name it. And yes - by Frank Zappa too)).

    My favorite album of any genre of all time. It never fails to bring back for me the intellectual/emotional introspective atmosphere that made that era special, not just in jazz, but is attitudes toward life.

    There was an understanding there. A kinship in ways. Not in playing styles but in how to express themselves. One could even say “huh, this sounds like music from someone who knows what it means to be all screwed up inside.”

    Randy was way ahead of his time. Imagine this, it’s 1976, you walk into a club and hear a guitarist playing the solo Randy did on Tribute. Note for note, because Randy was doing that same guitar solo at Quiet Riot gigs. Randy change rock guitar forever. He used the modes and exotic scales that were rarely used in rock music to that point. He broke rock guitarist out of the pentatonic box and into the modern age.
