Ozzy Osbourne-"Speak Of The Devil" (1982)

Popular culture has it that this stunt double was published in response to Black Sabbath's "Live Evil", although certainly this "Speak of the Devil" was released a month before that.
Recorded in the tour of his album "Diary of a Madman", no song belonging to this album was included and if instead a repertoire loaded with versions of Black Sabbath (hence the fact that it was published in revenge directly to his ex- band).
A tour that should have been with Randy Rhoads as guitarist, but his death a few months earlier, would lead Brad Gillis to take over as the new guitarist for Ozzy's band.
A Brad Gillis who did an incredible job putting himself at the height of Tony Iommi in the classics "Children Of The Revolution", "Symptom Of The Universe", "Iron Man", "The Wizard" or the brilliant "Black Sabbath".
All with an Ozzy in outstanding form and a devastating rhythm section composed by Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge.
