Ozzy's music never was the same after Randy died. That's all there is to it. I liked Ultimate sin though alot. Jake had some great guitar work on that album.

This must be the Speak Of The Devil live rehearsal that I read about years ago...

This guy has every song posted on youtube...

The guitar and drums are totally different...

Zakk Wylde ceased being an interesting guitarist to me after No More Tears. As far as Joe Holmes was concerned, well, all I ever really heard out of him was that one song on the Beavis & Butthead soundtrack (I guess?) called "Walk On Water", and to say that song was amateurish dreck would be putting it mildly.

I still think Jake E. Lee and Randy Rhoads were Ozzy's best solo guitarists. Brad Gillis doesn't have enough heavy on "Speak of the Devil" for me to consider it doing Tony Iommi any justice, but he was a solid player and there's a few instances over that album where I get excited.

+1 for Jake E. Lee and RR

[Seshmeister]

Zakk's problem was that he stuck around too long, and with BLS it was a case of quantity over quality. I don't think anyone would say that the playing on 'No Rest....' and the 'Pride and Glory' records aren't impressive though, would they?

I've never heard Pride and Glory is that one of his shitty biker music albums?

Fuck I've just realised that when I was at my first Ozzy gig you hadn't started school...

[chefcraig]

Yep, recorded with the rhythm section of...

wait for it...







White Lion.



The less said the better, but put it this way: Their best idea amounted to a jerk-off cover of Sabbath's "The Wizard". Be afraid, very afraid.

[Hardrock69]

He was claiming that back at post #26 in this thread.

Oops, my bad.

[binnie]

'Pride & Glory' was his Southern Rock record, released in 1994. They played Donnington that year.

It's a good record, but suffers from Zakk's vocals - always a limitation.

[Seshmeister]

One of his limitations, lets not forget his song writing.

[binnie]

There's some good stuff on 'Pride & Glory', 'Book Of Shadows' (acoustic) and the first BLS record 'Sonic Boom'.

But, yes, he does suffer from 'guitar-player-goes-solo-syndrome' (i.e. piss poor songs). It's largely because - as I said above - he puts out too many records. BLS were prolific, and the quality suffered...

It's Sonic BREW. Zakk likes to DRINK!

I like P&G, Book of Shadows and Sonic Brew as well. Much better then his later efforts.

Also don't hate to much on Lomenzo. He was pretty good with DLR and Megadeth.

[binnie]

Good point - I used to drink a lot too, thus the memory loss!

[atomicpunk5151]

Looks like Oz is keeping "Killer of giants" in the setlist for now.

Here is a video from Finland 7/9/10.

[ELVIS]

I wish Ozzy would learn the words...

He would sound much better if he didn't have to concentrate on reading...

[binnie]

He hasn't sung it for donkey's years - I'm sure he'll be up and running in a few weeks....

I would bet that Ozzy hasn't even heard Killer of Giants in 20 years. Let alone try and sing it. Also he didn't write thel yrics in the first place as well....

Even though the perforamnce isn't quite there, I still give the old guy props for pulling an old one (and a Jake song at that) out for the old school fans.
