I am on a roll with the polls today. Anyway who is your favorite guitarist that has played with Ozzy since he always has a knack for playing with great guitarist.
 
Rhodes all the way! However, Jake E. Lee was a huge influence on me as well and he was also a very prolific stage performer. I don't think the Ultimate Sin album got the credit it deserved. Bark at the Moon I could take or leave.
 
I think Zack most impresses me with his flexibility, so overall he gets my vote. Jake Lee is probably the fastest player of the mess, yet Randy really breeched the classical speed barriers. Brad Gillis impressed me more on his own than with Ozzy.
 
Definetly Iommi.

Iommi wasn't Ozzy's guitar player. Ozzy was Sabbath's singer. Plus the rest of Sabbath can still rock, Ozzy moves like he needs a walker.

Some of Randy's stuff, playing wise sounded inspired and some of the songs were really good, but he had such horrible tone.

Like a kazoo through a solid state Randall amp. No chunky Iommi goodness there. :eek:

Tony.

Despite Ozzy's black wardrobe and his metal attitude, Iommi was not only one of the true pioneers of doom metal (and metal in general), but he can still walk the walk. The last collaborations between the two is proof enough. Ozzy sounds his best and most wicked and psychotic when paired with Tony.
 
saw ozzy and zakk play a couple months ago and zakk tore the roof off the place!!!
behind the head and sh*t, he's better at playing guitar with his teeth than i am with my hands.

i also heard he started playing with ozzy when he was like seventeen? anyone know?
 
Iommi wasnt an Ozzy guitarist, so he is out.
If any of you dingbats honestly think that any of the other guitar players had/have any of Randys fantastic magic, you are truly a crackhead. The other ones play solos. Randy told musical stories instead of playing solos. Listen to the solos in Crowly. Nuff said.
I like the others, but they in no way compare to what Randy had in musicality. He was indeed special.
 
Zakk is one of the coolest people I ever had the pleasure to hop in a cab and go bar hopping with though (all on his tab). Real cool dude. Ozzy is a total jackass, though, times 12 and I wish I could have kicked his ass when I had the opportunity to.
 
I dig the solos on crowley, and suicide solution, and many others--no doubt rr could play-----but...........

Yeah it's Iommi. Snowblind and Into the void and talk about cool sounding solos--heaven and hell, mob rules, paranoid, and hand of doom, fairies wear boots, and black sabbath, and sabbath bloody sabbath and megolomania, and and and and anda and...

I'd buy that ozzy is a jackass.... Stupidest thing I ever saw: Ozzfest, B-Sabbath reunion. Ozzy plays a set of his 'own' songs first with a nobody band. Leaves the stage for 20 minutes while these hacks play a medley of randy's and zakk's songs. Then the loser is too bent out to sing the sabbath songs well. Skip the glory trip OZ...................

Half the songs on No more tears--Lemmy wrote. Motorhead--now there's a balls out underrated band.

i voted randy for his unique classic style, but i hated his tone.

like zakk a lot, wicked technical player, like the pick-pinch technique he employs.

jake- his last badlands disc 'dusk' (released overseas) is a monster guitar album. i love his style and straight up marshall in-yo-face tone. dude can play.

gillis and holmes....who are they?

kidding.
 
It's Jake

Never liked Zack... he can't play for 5 seconds without doing that "harmonic with the wide vibrato" thing, and I hate it.

Bark at the Moon was my favorite with Jake.. his rhythm playing is so cool, big influence on me. The title song is great, and the lead on "center of eternity" was awesome too.
