He's one of those dudes where you listen to his music, and you're like "WHat Planet is this GUy FROM>!>!>!?!?!11"

"I WANNA GO THERE!"

Freakin' love OZzy. I voted for Diary of a Madman, but it's hard choice.

Agreed. Ozzmosis is excellent. Still think the second remains the best though. Diary for me.

Just have Blizzard of Ozz... But it's a great metal album, so I'm sure it's his masterpiece

I'm 50/50 when it comes to Zakk. Sometimes he sounds like a beast and other times he bores me somewhat. My boys are Randy and Jake, definately.

Re: Zakk...he added almost nothing new to metal. His goal was to fuse southern rock and metal and he did a little of that in his first solo project. His trademark to me is the pinch harmonic and the vibrato that's so wide you wonder how he's not off the fretboard. He's metal to the core.

metal to the core? damn right...   and along with metal... comes a secondary aspect to being metal.  Image.. and that.. not music.. is what his pathetic attempts to 'fuse' southern rock and metal are all about.

not a fan of his btw... LOL

Jake's tone on that video is as good as I've ever heard. I'm not huge into over-flanging but it really helps his tone. The outro solo is what Jake is all about, and on this version he extends it. I spent so much time in front a VHS tape machine trying to learn that thing back in the day.
 
Tommy Aldridge with Ozzy also adds alot of energy. Speeding it up doesn't hurt either.
We're gonna do a little number featuring Randy Rhoads...

But go to you tube and watch the Killer of Giants video with Jake. He was a monster. He made an interesting decision to never use a whammy bar and started making up his own techniques, some of which are still part of the guitar back of tricks. I have never seen anyone quite do the tapped harmonic thing the way he does in that video. There's another one where he does multifinger tapping with octaves that was way ahead of its time. He certainly trailed off later but during his run with Ozzy he was a monster. I certainly like his playing better than George Lynch, his main rival. (Very similar to how Eddie and Randy were rivals in LA 5 years earlier).

out of curiosity... has anyone bought the infamous Ozzy remasters.  On principal... I wouldn't touch those with a 10' ft pole... talk about a sleazy move.

Yeah I'm not really a Zakk Wylde fan either.
Because of Zakk you get idiot kids that walk past you in guitar shops saying "Oh man that sounds like Zakk Wylde!". You just want to punch the little buggers in the face and inform them that it's in fact a Randy Rhoads or Jake E Lee style lick you're playing and that's basically where Zakk got all his licks from.




Jake E Lee just tears it up in that so. Simply dripping with passionate guitar playing.

Blizzard Of Ozz has the best collection of songs but as others has said is marred by a flat production.

..oh, hell yeah the "Ultimate Ozzy" video was amazing! Great set-list and performances, and those garish robes Ozzy wore back then were hilarious HA! I wore that VHS out when i was a kid. That along with Van Halen's "Live Without a Net" and Iron Maiden's "Live After Death" were the holy trinity for me when i was 9 to 10 years old.

That concert video, and the age i was when it came out, are a main reason i love Ultimate Sin so much... those were my formative years when i really started digging metal above other genres.

Jake went downhill alot. I was listening to some of his later stuff on youtube and it's just not there. He recorded a version of "Surfing with the Alien" that's just pathetic. There are a few live things from Badlands where his chops are still good. He does some ok blues now, but the best example of his playing is the video "The Ultimate Ozzy."
 
And now for my new fanboyism. In contrast, watch former Megadeth lead guitarist Chris Poland. There are videos of him 1995 when he's so strung out he's about to blow away, but his guitar work is just friggin' amazing. And he's actually still recording guitar music that is up there with virtually any guitarist who ever recorded.
 
BTW, I still bust out the intro to "Killer of Giants" not too infrequently, at least as often as "Dee." Two formative pieces of music in my guitar education. (along with Crazy Train and Bark at the Moon) 


Aye, Killer of Giants' opening guitar part is brilliant... dream-like, trance-inducing, emotional, beautiful, and dark all at the same time.

As for ole Zakk, i guess i'll just never get the appeal. He seems all flash with little substance... his riffs and solos have never moved me in the least. Here and there he has a decent riff, but almost never for an entire song heh... like the evil main riff to 'No More Tears', which is great... but all it's power is diluted by that annoying slide-guitar part and all the dumb pointless "squeals" he pulls off in every freakin' song.

The very best song with Zakk is Thunder Underground from OZZmosis. But i think Geezer Butler actually wrote those riffs, so i stand by my opinion that Zakk is terrible hehe. Tongue

I love the title track, it has one of the best riffs in any ozzy song... heavy! Plus, Shot in the Dark is a great song, maybe my favorite individual Ozzy song next to Diary of a Madman's title track. Killer of Giants is great too, as well as secret loser and most of the other tracks too... a very under-rated album i think.

Jake E Lee was good, i like his style 100 times more than that miserbale Zakk Wylde... what a sh*tty guitarist... i feel no emotion in his playing whatsoever. No Rest for the Wicked is TERRIBLE (Breaking all the Rules is the only decent song, with an almost-heavy main riff). Zakk ruined Ozzy in my opinion..,. he hasn't released a great album since The Ultimate Sin and Jake E Lee's departure.

Diary of Madman is my favorite and Blizzard of Ozz second, but unfortunately as of the middle of last year when I really got into studying production, I find both almost unlistenable now.
Triple tracked solos sound really painful to my ears.
In 3rd place,  Tribute, which was my first introduction to Ozzy as a "solo" artist
 
The awful production on the first two albums is why I like Tribute so much. I know you don't dig the guitar tone but it's so much better than the studio versions.
 
At the time, no one had ever multitracked solos, let alone some of the most dextrous ones at the time. It's cheese cheese now, but it was actually part of the amazement of RR when those albums broke. That not only could he play that stuff, but that he could nail it exactly every single time.
 
Tribute also just has Randy at his absolute peak in terms of what we have now. I really wish we could have had "Over the Mountain" on that collection and dump "Goodbye to Romance" at minimum. There are some good versions of that live circulating. S.A.T.O would have been cool as well.


That's true, I agree that Tribute has a much nicer guitar and bass guitar sound.
