greghagger Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The first song that Ozzy Osbourne released in 1980 after leaving Black Sabbath was, 'Crazy Train'. This song has a recognisable main minor riff that made it a classic! Ozzy had a very successful solo career, launched by the 'Blizzard of Ozz' album that Crazy Train is from. The bassist on the original recording is Bob Daisley, an Australian who played with some really big bands like, Chicken Shack, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Gary Moore. He's a pick and fingerstyle player and can switch between either technique so he's a very versatile player. There's a lot of controversy surrounding Bob Daisley's relationship with Ozzy Osbourne and not without good reason! But we'll focus on the music side of things with Crazy Train. In my latest YouTube video I breakdown the bass line from 'Crazy Train', but a word of warning, there's a very fast bass section under the guitar solo which is a serious finger-workout! Full bass line transcription link under the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
