专辑介绍
Speak of the Devil is a live album by heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne consisting entirely of renditions of songs dating from his time as a member of British heavy metal band Black Sabbath. It was released on 27 November 1982. The album was entitled Talk of the Devil in the UK, that being the more commonly expressed idiom there.
In the UK, it was the second of four Osbourne albums to attain Silver certification (60,000 units sold) by the British Phonographic Industry, achieving this in January 1983.
Immediately following the death of Ozzy Osbourne's dear friend and collaborator Randy Rhoads, tentative plans for a live recording from the Rhoads tours were quickly scrapped. Instead, the deeply troubled singer opted for a pair of one-offs at New York City's Ritz club. No one had any idea what Ozzy would do, and an evening of Black Sabbath covers was the furthest thing from everyone's mind. Ozzy had been portrayed as a washed-up, vocally challenged frontman by his ex-bandmates, and the perception was that Ozzy could no longer sing the original Sabbath material. Hiring metal producer Max Norman to man the boards, Ozzy enlisted Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis to play the role of Tony Iommi for the evening. The show itself took on an ominous tone with a chair visibly propped up on the edge of the stage; upon it rested a spiral notebook containing the lyrics to all the Sabbath songs of the evening, from which Ozzy read throughout the show. Still, Speak of the Devil is strengthened by the classic combo of Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge on bass and drums, undoubtedly one the best rhythm sections of Ozzy's solo career. And immediately, it becomes obvious that Brad Gillis was the right man for the gig. Playing Iommi to a tee, Gillis effortlessly leads the band through some of the best of the Sabbath catalog; Speak of the Devil ends up solid throughout, if somewhat unremarkable at times. Listening to the remastered version, there's no doubt that the vocals feature some heavily doctored patch-ups, but regardless, Ozzy proved his point to his ex-bandmates. Following the recording, due to the uncertainty surrounding the Ozzy camp, Gillis would jump ship and rejoin the ranks of Night Ranger.

- @EWMN柴木寒(虾米音乐陪葬品)：。
- @pzykho(我还没想好要写什么...)：当年黑安的合同到期了，如果重新录制当年的歌曲，Ozzy就能因为著作权拿到钱 所以Shanon就让Ozzy出现场专辑… 后来录制的时候，第一次现场收音效果不好，后来租了空场子来部录，有的欢呼声还是后期加上的。因为要和Live Evil拼市场，就匆忙的推出了。
- @总在灵魂深处藏了一些喜悲(行到水穷我才开始害怕，夕...)：▽
- @梁剑文：Brad Gillis只能算是演唱会临时请来的，当时Dio把他“自己”在Black Sabbath的歌给翻唱了，把他搞在气头之上，所以就组织一场演唱会唱Black Sabbath时期的歌，毕竟开演唱会不能没有吉他手吧
- @无所谓了：192K
- @小环：我的第一盘OZZY的打口碟！！
- @great music：全是BLACK SABBATH时期的歌曲，由于吉他手RANDY RBRAD不幸身亡，由Brad GILLIS取代（后来是NIGHT RANGER吉他手）。 不过听过NIGHT RANGER的歌曲应该也知道，Brad GILLIS的风格其实与OZZY大不相同，也难怪Brad GILLIS后来就离去了。
