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.
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.
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...
