I'd say you could apply that statement to life in general As a kid you think you know it all, then as you get older you find you really knew very little. Of course when you're 30 you think you know a lot, by the time you get to 40 you find you didn't know as much at 30 as you thought...

If Randy had lived to not be cool with it, the re-makes would have had someone replacing Randy's parts to avoid royalties, too
Yes. Both Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman were rerecorded in 2002 with a different drummer and bass player as a way of not paying royalties to the other musicians. This is kind of a sore spot with me as it is almost impossible to find the original recordings on CD before they were compromised. Never mess with perfection. The fans know better...
To be a teacher you must never stop learning yourself...
There are some serious misprints concerning the titles of the 2002 "Re-recorded Remasters". Here are the correct titles, and hopefully will be corrected on future printings...

Ya all pAINTING a real Tainted Picture indeed. When Les Paul invented the multi-track recorder, he didn't know that some clown record executive would dub over a master recording of original musicians with other musicians to save on royalty payments.
As a kid you think you know it all, then as you get older you find you really knew very little. Of course when you're 30 you think you know a lot, by the time you get to 40 you find you didn't know as much at 30 as you thought...
