• Ozzy Diary Of A Madman Tour

2011 marks the 30th anniversary of Ozzy's second solo release, Diary of a Madman. This landmark album took metal in a new direction in the early 1980's, inspiring new generations of rock bands and fans. Diary of a Madman (Picture Disc Vinyl) has been restored and remastered from the original tapes, and features the.

Diary of a Madman is the second solo studio album by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on 7 November 1981, and re-issued on CD on 22 August 1995. This is the last Osbourne studio album to feature guitarist Randy Rhoads and drummer Lee Kerslake. An altered version appeared in 2002 with the original bass and drum parts removed and re-recorded. In 2011, a Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition was released with all original parts restored. To date, the album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.^[2]

Composition and recording[edit]

Diary of a Madman is the final album recorded with late guitarist Randy Rhoads. Although bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Tommy Aldridge are credited in the liner notes and pictured on the inner sleeve for the American vinyl and cassette release and later CD re-issues, it was bassist Bob Daisley and drummer Lee Kerslake who performed all bass and drum parts on the original release. Aldridge has stated of the album, 'I think it's pretty obvious that it's not my drumming on that album. I have never taken credit for that recording and have always given Lee Kerslake, whenever asked or interviewed, the credit he rightly deserves.'^[3]

Daisley provided significant contributions to the album's songwriting, having written some of the music and most of the lyrics. Kerslake claims to have also had a hand in the writing of the album, even performing lead vocals on some of the original demo recordings. 'Flying High Again' was one of my ideas, 'Over the Mountain' was another. The basic (demo) tracks were just Bob's words, my vocals—though some of the words I wrote—and Randy's playing. It was unreal. And then we got Don Airey to come in and do the keyboards', he stated in 2009. Kerslake says he used a piano in the studio to write many of the songs with guitarist Randy Rhoads.^[4] Daisley and Kerslake were not given credit for their performance or songwriting contributions, a situation which resulted in a later lawsuit.

During the album's recording, Kerslake says the band members were given no money to live on, prompting them to approach management. Shortly after, both Kerslake and Daisley were fired. 'Everything was working fine,' said Kerslake. 'It was only when Sharon (Osbourne) came in that we had a problem. When she started managing—taking over—she wasn't the manager until Diary of a Madman. Before that was her brother, David. He didn't really want to handle it. He had too much to do for Don (Arden) in the office. So she came in and it started to get edgy. But we never suspected a thing until we went away on holiday. Next minute, they're rehearsing with Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo, and going to America.'^[5]

Although Don Airey is credited as keyboardist on the album, it was in fact a musician named Johnny Cook (who had worked with Daisley in Mungo Jerry in the 1970s) who actually recorded the keyboard parts. Airey was on tour as a member of Rainbow at the time of recording and was thus unavailable.^[6]

Cover art[edit]

The album's cover art features Osbourne's son Louis to his side, with Osbourne himself posing in theatrical make-up.^[7]

Reception[edit]

Reception of the album has been generally positive. In particular, the neo-classical guitar work of Randy Rhoads has received much praise.^[9][11] Steve Huey of AllMusic stated that 'it's not uncommon to find fans who prefer Diary to Blizzard, since it sets an even more mystical, eerie mood, and since Rhoads' playing is progressing to an even higher level'.^[8]BBC Music referred to the album as 'a classic rock record in every way', 'lifted out of the ordinary by the legendary rock axe god, Randy Rhoads'.^[12] Canadian journalist Martin Popoff called Diary of a Madman 'a lasting classic that stands as the definitive showcase for Randy Rhoads.'^[9]

Though the album is regarded quite favorably today, reviews upon its 1981 release were often less than enthusiastic. J. D. Considine of Rolling Stone, for example, opined upon the album's original release that 'the songs here are little more than riffs with a vocal line pasted on top' and referred to Rhoads as 'a junior-league Eddie Van Halen – bustling with chops but somewhat short on imagination'.^[10] The magazine, however, would change its tune and later rank the album 15th on its 2017 list of '100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time'.^[13]

Re-issues[edit]

The 2002 re-issue controversy[edit]

The 2002 Diary of a Madman reissue was derided by fans due to the removal of Daisley and Kerslake's original bass and drum tracks. The re-issue featured re-recorded bass and drum tracks contributed by Osbourne's then-bassist and drummer Robert Trujillo and Mike Bordin, respectively. The move was suspected of being retaliatory in nature, as Daisley and Kerslake had successfully sued Osbourne and his wife/manager Sharon in court, winning songwriting credits and royalties for their contributions to Diary of a Madman.

Sharon later stated that Ozzy and not herself was responsible for the decision to re-record the parts, stating 'because of Daisley and Kerslake's abusive and unjust behavior, Ozzy wanted to remove them from these recordings. We turned a negative into a positive by adding a fresh sound to the original albums.'^[14] However, Osbourne contradicted this claim in his 2009 autobiography, stating that the decision to re-record the original bass and drum parts was strictly Sharon's decision, and that 'I didn't have anything to do with that decision.'^[15] He said his wife 'just snapped' and had it done without his knowledge.^[15] He also stated that 'a sticker was put on the covers telling everyone about it',^[15] though in fact the sticker was not initially placed on the re-issue and was only placed on the covers at a later date due to fan outcry over the altered recordings.

Deluxe 30th Anniversary Edition[edit]

In May 2011, Sony Legacy released its Deluxe 30th Anniversary Editions of Diary of a Madman and Blizzard of Ozz with the original bass and drum tracks restored. These releases also featured bonus tracks and previously unreleased live material featuring guitarist Rhoads – Diary of a Madman features a second CD entitled Ozzy Live, featuring an entire previously-unreleased concert performance from the Blizzard of Ozz 1981 US tour.^[16] This concert had previous circulated as a bootleg under the title 'Randy Rhoads Axeman' claiming to have been recorded at the Indianapolis Convention Center on June 4, 1981.^[17] However, tour dates of the Blizzard of Ozz tour state that June 4 was a concert at San Antonio, Texas.^[18] In any case, the bootleg and the Ozzy Live CD are the same performance. A box set was also released which included the remastered editions of both albums on CD as well as vinyl, and a DVD documentary entitled Thirty Years After The Blizzard.Ozzy Live was also separately released as a double 180g vinyl exclusively on Record Store Day 2012.

The Diary of a Madman Tour was the second concert tour by English heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne. It was undertaken in support of Osbourne's second album Diary of a Madman and covered Europe, North America, and Asia. This was Rhoads's last tour as he died in a plane crash at a small airport in Leesburg, Florida, on March 19, 1982, during the first leg of the tour. The band took a two-week break after his death. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne restarted the tour with ex-Gillan guitarist Bernie Tormé, who only performed a couple of shows before being replaced by future Night Ranger guitarist, Brad Gillis.

Overview[edit]

Background[edit]

After the Blizzard of Ozz Tour, the band took a one-month break before going to Europe to start the tour supporting the upcoming album, Diary of a Madman, scheduled for worldwide release on November 7, 1981. Osbourne, Rhoads, Rudy Sarzo, Tommy Aldridge, and Lindsay Bridgwater reconvened at Shepperton Studios in England where they would spend the next two weeks rehearsing.

European leg[edit]

On November 4, 1981, the band arrived in Hamburg, Germany to start the tour, opening up for Saxon in Europe. The band's first show was at Ernst-Merck-Halle in front of a sold-out crowd. On November 7, Diary of a Madman was released worldwide and 'Flying High Again', 'Over the Mountain', 'You Can't Kill Rock and Roll' and 'Diary of a Madman' were released as singles. On November 13, after the band's performance at Upper Swabia Hall in Ravensburg, Sharon called off the rest of the European leg because of Osbourne's mental health issues resulting from his marriage to Thelma Osbourne having fallen apart. Sharon took Osbourne back to England and checked him into a mental health clinic while the rest of the band went on excursions through Germany and France before returning to England.

On November 22, the rest of the band reconvened at Shepperton Studios to begin pre-production rehearsals for the United Kingdom dates while Osbourne was in hospital. The band rehearsed songs from Blizzard of Ozz, and the three Black Sabbath songs they had already been performing, 'Over the Mountain,' 'Flying High Again' and 'Believer' from Diary of a Madman. On November 29, with opening act Girl, the band performed at Colston Hall in Bristol. On December 2, the band performed its last show of the leg at the Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool. The rest of the European leg was canceled because of Osbourne's depression.

North American leg (December 1981–March 19, 1982)[edit]

Ozzy Diary Of A Madman Tour

After returning to Los Angeles on December 5, the band took a break for a couple of weeks and then began pre-production rehearsals. Lindsay Bridgwater departed at this time and Don Airey, former keyboardist of Rainbow was hired. In December, Entertainment Tonight taped some video footage of the band's rehearsals for a segment on the new show. On December 30, the band performed at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California. Rhoads received the Best New Talent Award from Guitar Player.^[1] The band returned to Los Angeles for their last show at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. English hard rock and heavy metal band UFO and Starfighters were added to the bill as the opening bands. On January 7, the band played at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque. The local news filmed the first part of the show where the band performed 'Over the Mountain' and 'Mr. Crowley'.

On January 20, at the Des Moines Veterans Memorial Auditorium a fan threw a dead bat, (stolen from the science department of Lincoln, a local high school), onto the stage. Osbourne, believing it to be a toy, took the bat, held out its wings and bit it on a wing then threw it back into the audience. This resulted in him being checked into Des Moines General Hospital to receive rabies shots after the show. On January 24 at Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Illinois, Osbourne lifted Rhoads up by his right leg during 'Mr. Crowley'. A professional photographer captured the moment and the image was used as the cover art for the live album, Tribute. As the band played 'Over the Mountain' at the Assembly Hall on their January 26 show, Osbourne collapsed during the middle of the song, and was pulled off stage by Sharon Osbourne and the rest of stage crew, while the band finished instrumentally. He was rushed to the hospital and the remainder of the show was cancelled. Osbourne was given two days to rest and heal from his illness caused by the rabies shots. The band went on to Chicago.

Before the band's performance at Civic Arena on February 2, Rhoads did a guitar seminar at the Music City Record Store in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. On February 11, after playing at the Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, tensions between Osbourne and Rhoads grew as Rhoads did not want to play on a live record consisting of Black Sabbath songs as he felt it would be a major step backward in his career. The record company forced Ozzy and Sharon to release the album.^{[citation needed]} The band performed at Fair Park Coliseum in Beaumont, Texas on February 16, where the soundcheck rehearsal that took place earlier that day was captured on video. On February 19, Sharon hid all of Ozzy's clothes so that he could not go out and drink anymore. Ozzy put on Sharon's nightgown, got drunk, urinated on The Alamo and was arrested. He was released hours before the show after Sharon warned the police that the concert promoters were worried that not releasing Osbourne from jail would result in the cancellation of that evening's performance and possibly incite a riot. After Osbourne was released, the band performed at the San Antonio Convention Center Arena. Osbourne became 'Public Enemy #1' in Texas and received death threats from parents, religious groups and political activists. On February 20, before that evening's performance at Reunion Arena, Rhoads agreed to play on the live album, one more studio album, and to tour with Osbourne. He would then leave to attend the University of California, Los Angeles to obtain his master's degree in classical guitar. The band performed in front of a sold-out crowd at Knoxville Civic Coliseum on March 18.

The band were on the tour bus, which was supposed to be heading to Orlando, Florida for the Rock Super Bowl at the Tangerine Bowl on March 20, but a mechanical problem forced it into a depot called Flying Baron Estates, outside Leesburg, Florida for repairs. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, Rudy Sarzo, and Tommy Aldridge were all asleep while Randy Roads, Don Airey, tour manager Jake Duncan, Rhoads's hairdresser Rachel Youngblood, bus driver Andrew Aycock and his wife Wanda, and the rest of the crew were awake. On the property, there was an airstrip and a hangar full of small airplanes. Aycock, who claimed to be an experienced pilot, took a Beechcraft Bonanza F35 plane out of the hangar and offered to take people up in the air. During one of the flights with Aycock, Rhoads, and Youngblood, the left wing struck the bus causing the plane to crash, instantly killing all three. ^[2][3] Once the investigation was over on March 21, the band returned to Los Angeles where they spent the next two weeks trying to recuperate from the tragedy while attempting to find another guitarist.

North American leg (1982)[edit]

The band, and especially Osbourne, was in a severe state of depression. Ozzy's drug and alcohol addiction and mental state had worsened. On the day of Rhoads's death, Osbourne had said that it was over and that he never wanted to play again. Sharon got Ozzy back on his feet to finish the tour for his fans. Osbourne had said: 'You Can't Kill Rock 'N' Roll,' when he was interviewed on Late Night with David Letterman a week after Rhoads's death. Rudy Sarzo called his younger brother, future-Hurricane lead-guitarist, Robert and asked him to audition and play the material the same way as Randy; he was hired. Another guitarist showed up to audition, former-Gillan guitarist, Bernie Tormé. He had been hired and given an advance by Sharon's father, Don Arden, and even though his audition did not go smoothly because he was unfamiliar with the material, and his playing style and feel was different from Rhoads, Tormé ended up getting the job instead of Sarzo.

On March 28, the band flew to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for three days of rehearsals to restart the tour. On April 1, the band restarted the tour at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem. UFO was back as an opening act in Bethlehem, and Magnum was added during the following five-show stint at Philadelphia's Spectrum. After the Philadelphia shows with Tormé, who was eager to start his solo career, Sharon found future-Night Ranger guitarist, Brad Gillis. He did not feel ready to play onstage yet as he needed some time to learn the setlist. Tormé did several more shows with the band until Gillis was ready. On April 13, he played with the band for the first time at Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, New York. The band finished the tour with Gillis and Tormé left to start his solo career.

After the band's performance at Glens Falls Civic Arena in New York on May 10, Sharon put the tour on hold again as Osbourne's depression, mental illness, and drug and alcohol addiction had grown worse. The rest of the tour's shows were postponed. The band restarted the tour on May 19 at Cape Cod Coliseum in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts with Magnum as the opening band for the East Coast and Midwest shows, and the Canadian band, Santers, opening for the Canadian dates. Axe was the opening band for the West Coast shows. On June 19, the band performed its first laser show at Oakland Arena in California. The band performed at Irvine Meadows on June 25, where the live pro-video footage was used for Speak of the Devil Live, which was broadcast on MTV on Halloween.

On July 4, Ozzy and Sharon got married. From July 9 to 15, the band performed several shows in Japan. Later on August 6, the day before the band's show at the Rock N Roll Super Bowl (1982) at The Cotton Bowl in Dallas where Le Roux was opening and the supporting acts were Loverboy and Foreigner, Osbourne's depression had grown even worse, and not wanting to do more shows, he shaved his head completely. This did not stop Sharon from forcing him to get on stage wearing a wig. Osbourne ripped the wig off his head and threw it into the audience.
