Oy Vey...
I like Randy's sense of melody and his ability to go from zero to sixty all within the context of the solo. I don't consider Iommi to be a Ozzy Axeman though his riffs are comparable to RR, but fell short on soloing.
I didn't like Randy's tone all that much, but it was not his live tone. Producers choice on the studio stuff. Randy even said he was dissappointed on the Diary tones. It was mixed while he was touring.
Jake had some good tones, but I think his solo's were subpar.
Gillis, is that a joke?
Joe Holmes was a RR student but I can't say Ive heard him play yet.
I like Zakk, he has some good riffs but again his solo's are to riff orient'd and not melodic enough, maybe Its my classical brain but they just don't flow for me. I love the P-harms and the Metaltronix amps. I must say though that Zakks abilities outside of Oz are a different story. Zakk is a pretty cool guy, we were standing around after a he was a guest player for Steve Vai along time ago. Zakk was in Seattle doing BLS stuff. I think Ozzy has limited Zakk. I was blown away to see Zakk and Steve doing harmony and tradeoffs, I saw a side of Zakk Ive never seen before.
Who's Next?
