Best Ozzy guitarist!

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Vote!

I voted Randy. Jake would be second, then Zakk, then Brad, then Tony. I love Tony's riffs but I'm a sucker for flashy '80s guitar

 

[Bucko]

Randy - god bless him, Zakk, Brad Gillis and then Jake . I consider Tony a Black Sabbath guitarist rather than Ozzys sidekick in various solo bands ............

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yeah I just meant guitarists that Ozzy has worked with.

 

[Spiff]

Randy!

Then Zakk, then Jake, then... who is Brad Gillis? The name rings a bell and all, but I can't place him. Hang, I just checked - I didn't know he was on Speak of the Devil! How about that? Haven't heard it though, so I can't vote for him.

And Tony doesn't count!

Brad Gillis is / was in a band called Night Ranger a big hit was Sister Christian I think off a sound track to a movie or something real AOR 1980's type stuff . quite good actully .
Cools troops Tony is a riff master eh???

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yeah Tony wrote some of the heaviest, most evil, and classic riffs EVER!

Being a fan of '80s guitar though, I really like it when the flashy guitarists cover those songs. Because you get awesome Iommi riffs with great '80s shredding hehe.

 

[Bucko]

yeah agree thats why i like brad gillis on SOTD

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Yeah I love that album! Alot of people hate it though and think Brad ruins the songs. I think he does great versions! His solo on Paranoid RULES!

 

[Joe Salami]

Night Ranger were great! Dawn Patrol was my favourite album of theirs...

I went with Zakk, probably because I've been listening to a lot of Black Label Society lately.

Zakk would kill them all in a guitar duel and in a fight also, so you gotta respect that He wins

 

[Slash Freeman]

I voted for Randy. Although he is pretty much the only Ozzy guitarist i've heard with ozzy.

i've not really heard enough of Zakk Wylde, but he is an amazing guitarist. my favourite guitarist is still Slash, but i couldn't say whos better 'cos i've not heard enough Zakk. i'd probably put money on Zakk, though.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

Zakk has one of the most distinctive styles I've ever heard. But sometimes I think it can get a little tiresome whereas Randy and Jake seem to have a wider variety of tricks up their sleeve than just pinching those trademark harmonics all the time

Also, any Zakk Wylde fans should check out the last Slaughter album! (Not Canadian thrash/death band Slaughter, the US hard rock/hair band Slaughter hehe). The new guitarist (RIP Tim Kelly ) has a VERY Zakk Wydle like style and the album is pretty cool. Download Take Me Away, it sounds like it came off No Rest For The Wicked except with Mark Slaughter singing, not Ozzy.
