126: Speak of the Devil Album Dive

“We’re gonna do a number now…which was the very first song I ever wrote in my life…”

After 2 successful solo albums with his solo band (Blizzard of Ozz), OZZY OSBOURNE was set to release a live album consisting exclusively of songs from his former band, Black Sabbath.

“Wooo! Wooo!!”

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL is a double-live album of classic Sabbath tracks from the storied Ozzy era of the band throughout the entirety of the 1970’s. As if that weren’t enough, SPEAK OF THE DEVIL also contains some of THE most thoroughly entertaining stage banter in all of heavy metal, courtesy of The Prince of Darkness.

“Let’s make it a good one.”

Get ready to put on your “Olde Faece”, don the “plug balls”, polish off the “hop stick” and JOIN US on this episode of Metal Nerdery Podcast’s “Live Album Conspiracy Theories” as we dive into SPEAK OF THE DEVIL and indulge in a few of our favorite things: Ozzy and his brilliant between-song banter, 70’s era Sabbath, and the contents of Saint Bernard Neck Barrels.

This is a #LIveAlbumDive of #OzzyOsbourne #SpeakOfTheDevil #stagebanter (basically an Ozzy fronted, #Sabbath #tributeband that, ironically, is what Sabbath kinda morphed into re: having ONE original member. That’s tangentional…) / #recollections and not understanding that #soloOzzy was different (and yet related) to #BlackSabbath. #Wrestling or #wrastling #LearningTheRopesOfMetal #alwaysbeprepared #heswrongASMR #ifyouregonnagettechnical #turtlesrecordsandtapes / The #albumcoverart for Speak of the Devil #steaktartare or #mensesmarinara / The #gatefold and the way the old #doublelivealbums were / #runes #thattattooisstillcreepy #dontdefacerecords #iknowhesbeingstrong #projecting / “Ultimately, it’s my fault…” #really / Recorded at The Ritz #TheRitz September 1982 and #thelineup and definitely an #elcectic album. / ***Five Days to learn the songs and prep for the tour***and the #circumstances behind the live album to offset the tragic loss of #RandyRhoads the year before. #alreadyinthehopper and a nod to Ozzy’s #Tribute #fiveyearslater / #allyoupeople ***Metal Nerdery Banter Project: to capture all live Ozzy stage #banter and compile into one master #track !!!*** And the concept of “Ozzy as Black Sabbath” and a great #marketingmove (great for youngsters like us who were unaware of the #tangentionalality of Ozzy to Sabbath) / Ozzy’s #distinctivevoice #LIVE #heshuman #howdareyou #anoddopener #futureepisodeidea #1982hat

(20:52): SYMPTOM OF THE UNIVERSE #killeropener #noteperfect ***Who hasn’t #RudySarzo played with?*** Thanks to the bizarre tracking/editing of many live albums, you have to go to the end of the prior track to hear the #stagebanter for #thenexttrack whereas it makes far more sense to make the banter be at the beginning of the next song, for tracking purposes #themadmanisback #weregonnadoanumbernow SNOWBLIND #cocaine #comeon #nopressure #phleghmy #cackaww #letmeseeyourhands #bewhoyouis #fansaredicks and yet how do you reconcile that with #superfans / #dontbeanasshole #besupportive #loadsandloads #markthetime
