Favorite Ozzy Guitarist.

[November Reign]

Ok, let the fight begin!!!
I gotta go with......Zakk Wylde. Wished Randy would have lived longer to give us a bigger catalog.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

100% Randy Rhoads.

 

[lurch70]

Jake E. Lee by far

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Rhoads by a longshot, then Jake....

Randy Rhoads without a doubt. First two Ozzy albums were the best because of him. RIP.

 

[kuier]

Zakk, purely on No Rest ft Wicked.

 

[ramses]

Jake E. Lee...his Badlands band was kick ass

 

[Trans-Siberian Outcast]

Randy Rhoads, ALL the way. No contest IMO

 

[carnut]

Iommi !!

 

[Dagon666]

Wylde and Rhoads. Impossible to choose.

 

[Mxgonzo]

Randy Rhoads, ALL the way. No contest IMO

Ditto!

 

[Alteredmindeath]

Randy Rhoads actually wanted to quit the band after the 2nd album but Ozzy talked him out of it. Randy then died from the airplane crash shortly after.

 

[Wyvern]

Iommi !!

I know he has the worst "track record" to date [not his fault], but his work in other bands and abilities have been unmatched thus far from Ozzy's other guitarists (to my ears anyways). Plus, he happens to be one of my favorite guitarists - and this was long before he debuted with Ozzy.

Zakk was a huge influence and No More Tears is a masterpiece so I'll go with him I guess. Randy and Jake were both fantastic. Randy's influence in undeniable too.

Jake E. Lee, but I enjoyed both him and Randy when I was learning to play guitar. I didn't really know much Rhoads other than Crazy Train until late '82 or early '83, and he had obviously already passed.

The Ultimate Sin is one of my favorite 'guitar' albums, and Bark at the Moon is arguably my favorite solo(s) ever.

It is good to see everyone around here spelling "Rhoads" correctly. It is butchered quite often. :Smokedev:

 

[poundingmetal74]

Correctly? The real spelling and what he used on the record were both different. Usually I combine both spellings, that way you can't lose.

 

[Platinum Maze]

I never knew it was spelled differently on any of the records. How and where?

Rhoads is the correct spelling. It drives me nuts when I see "Rhodes, Rhoades, etc..."

 

[Hawk]

100% Randy Rhoads.

 

[Caveman Ninja]

The Ultimate Sin is one of my favorite 'guitar' albums, and Bark at the Moon is arguably my favorite solo(s) ever.

Agree 100%. Jake's playing absolutely smokes!

I forget the exact spelling [Rhodes?], but it's different on my version of Blizzard of Ozz. I remember reading it going "That doesn't look right," before confirming that version of his name was not correct.
