Episode description

All aboard!!!

Guitarist extraordinaire Sammy Boller stops by to chat with Mike about 'Blizzard of Ozz', the iconic debut solo album from the Prince of Darkness himself Ozzy Osbourne.

Together Mike and Sammy celebrate the album that resurrected Ozzy after his dismissal from Black Sabbath and hail the ungodly talent of guitarist Randy Rhoads.

How much of an influence has Randy's guitar playing been on Sammy?

Why were the contributions of Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake removed from the 2002 remaster of 'Blizzard of Ozz'?

Who fought for Randy's classical instrumental 'Dee' to remain on the album?

PLUS: Hear the title track from Sammy's 2020 album 'Kingdom Of The Sun'.

This episode of 'My Classic Album' is dedicated to Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins who passed away 25th March 2022. Keep on rocking!
