I prefer Randy Rhoads-era Ozzy better, the title song Diary of a Madman is amazing. He has always had greta guitarists. It's quite amusing to watch Ozzy's look in the 80's, with the crazy perm and eyeliner, I think he referred to that look as his mad house wife look.

I love 80s Ozzy! That song/video is awesome.
I remember when my uncle bought the Ultimate Sin cassette(!) when it came out in ´86. We just rocked all day - all night...
I wish that Ozzy could finally issue decent dvd video collection.

Ozzy rocks! Even with all the different guitarists he had, his music never slowed down. Probably because they all are(and were)great. Randy Rhodes ruled of course. RIP. Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley are pure gems from Rhodes. The Ultimate Sin album never got the credit it deserved. I think it kicks. Zakk Wylde also rocks. Miracle Man is one of his best.

I agree Sam. Brilliant guitarist. That's why I don't understand why The Ultimate Sin never got much credit. He was also great in Badlands.

I love love love OZZY- he's my all time favorite and I love all his albums and all his guitarists (although Randy Rhoads is my favorite). Awhile back I went on YOU TUBE and watched all the OZZY videos people had put up (my favorite ones are Back On Earth and So Tired) and then I begrudgingly watched the video for Shot In The Dark, cuz I can remember even when it first came out not liking it! I think I would have been happier with a more "Ozzy based" video than a bunch of teenagers driving around in a car!
My best friend calls this time period where Ozzy had the wild blonde hair "Linda Evans On Crack". Hahaha!
