Dubrow said he was really disappointed he couldn't re-sing this song because the masters were lost. This is quite possibly the best he ever sounded- I could not stand his artificially harsh vocal tone he relied on for the rest of his career. It was cheesy and became a caricature of itself. I also find it amazing that the producers of the first 2 albums didn't care for this song. With the right direction, this band had the potential to release something at the level of Van Halen 1.
His voice is reminiscent of Geddy Lee here, but for the bulk of DuBrow’s career, he sang like Noddy Holder of Slade (which made their cover of “Cum On Feel The Noise” a near-verbatim reading!).
Randy used this riff in the song on Ozzy's Suicide Solution. Randy did this exercise as a warm up. While he was warming up, Ozzy walked in on him and said he loved it so Randy used it in Suicide Solution
In the verses, it sounds like a weird mash-up of "Suicide Solution" and "No Bone Movies". Must have been where it all solidified, the Randy sound that made possible Ozzy's first two solo records. Had this tape years ago, and it brings me back to the kind of raw spirit that made me want to go conquer the world with a guitar in the first place (which has yet to happen, silly fool me). Rock on.
>The main guitar riff in the song, written by guitarist Randy Rhoads, is loosely based on the riff that Rhoads wrote for the verse of the Quiet Riot song “Force of Habit.”
@@isabel-eq8gm, that in-between riff is definitely a precursor to “No Bone Movies”, too! I was a longtime disciple of Randy, guitar-wise, and I pored over this cassette (1994!!!) in the interests of learning this approach. No regrets.
i was born in '94 and i wish i was born in 1970 so i would be old enough to appriciate Randy Rhoads as God of the Les Paul (and all music for that matter)
Back in the early-mid 90's, I worked in an independent collectible record store and this gem came in from the distributor. I immediately put this bitch in the CD player, and when I first heard this tune and the riff to the 1st verse, I said "so this is where Randy's Suicide Solution riff came from." Good to see others recognize that too.
listen to some of the stuff on QR 1 & 2, there's riffs and solos that ended up in a lot of ozzy songs. The solo in Breaking Up is a heart ache. its the solo in You looking at me ,looking at you. both great tunes!
In Ozzy's 'don't blame me' biography video, Ozzy says Randy was tuning his guitar and Ozzy says, 'that's a great riff'. Randy says, 'I didn't play anything'. Ozzy says, 'play it twice, I've got a lyric for that...wine is fine but whiskeys quicker'.... Suicide solution was born. Check out the video if you like Ozzy and Randy. Wikipedia's quiet riot page also makes reference to this song evolving into suicide solution. RIP RANDY. Gone, but never forgotten.
Bob Daisley had a different story, but Ive heard the tuning thing to be a spring board for suicide solution. Bob Daisleys book for facts sake is worth checking out
atteljas Ozzy's story usually is different from other people who were involved. There have been discrepancies between him and Bob, Toni, Bill, Dio, Jake E Lee and others. I've noticed Ozz takes credit for other people's contributions sometimes. I don't think he is intentionally lying. Maybe he gets facts mixed up sometimes. I mean, he is kinda burnt out from years of substance abuse.
Yep, this is the riff that Randy used in "Suicide Solution". But to me, it sounds like both "Suicide Solution" and "No Bone Movies", both songs from Blizzard Of Ozz.
No no you can hear the A5 chord then he slides up to the D and then the open A string then the A5 chord again just like Suicide Solution only it doesn't repeat like Suicide Solution
@tpain2345 thats because this same riff was used as the riff of suicide solution when randy got with ozzy alot of the stuff randy did with quiet riot he took bits and pieces and used them with ozzy so basically it is suicide solution well..sort of but not really lol
@emoboi311 music today doesn't suck it just sucks if ur a fan of 70's and 80's metal but music today isn't all that bad except if u mean the shit they show on tv
If you listen to his spotlight solo on RU-vid you can hear crazy train I think he took the ideas he had from quiet riot and added on them with ozz and bob dasiley
i am listening to this song because I heard suicide solutions was based off this songs. Rhoads used the sandoval polka dot v for suicide solutions, i assume he used a different guitar for this
