About Ozzy's Guitarists

Catz · July 2010

I remember about a decade ago, when Joey was Touring with Ozzy and everyone on the net was Like bring Zakk bakk and shit... then Zakk and Ozzy got bakk together and everyone was like killaz... now there are certain fagz that suggest Zakk sux now and Gus G is such the shit... let me tell you Gus G hasnt even impresssed me yet... fuck Joey wa better than this Fag... Gus G aint nothing special fuck him... bring bakk the Zakk Attakk

That's because Joey was nothing special. Just because Gus had NOTHING to do with the songwriting on the new CD doesn't mean he sucks.

I read a couple of interesting things in the latest Guitar World (with Ozzy and Gus on the cover)

- Most of the riffs were done by THE PRODUCER OF THE ALBUM, Gus came in and re-tracked them

- Ozzy said he looks forward to writing the next album with Gus (so Scream is not his last)

None of his guitarists could even carry Randy's jock strap. Nobody has even come close.

Brian · July 2010

^This^

But honestly I don't know of any guitarist that could. Aside from maybe Steve Vai or Micheal Angelo Batio

Alec29 · July 2010

Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Michael Angelo Batio are all guitar greats but even they ain't Randy. I was fortunate enough to have seen one of Randy's final shows (he was killed three days after my show) and I can tell you that that little fucker could flat out play the guitar. I've not seen too many that I'd consider to be on the same level. The above three as well as Dime, Eddie, Tipton and Downing, and surprisingly Brad Gillis have all given me years of listening pleasure but it will always be Randy above all others for me.

"None of his guitarists could even carry Randy's jock strap"

did you find one signed to sell on Ebay?

Brian · July 2010

Awesome, Alec.

My Uncle told me when he was my age he wanted to go to the 1981 Ozzy and Def Leppard tour more than anything, but he couldn't go because he didn't have the money. I could tell how much it still bothers him today, with good reason.

Alec29 · July 2010

John, no jockstrap for sale. LMAO
I do however have a drumhead signed by Ozzy, Randy, Lee Kerslake, and Bob Daisley that I'd never think about selling. I also have a guitar pick from Randy that I bought from a fellow stagehand several years ago. Also not for sale.

John, are you making fun of me? Now I has a sad. LOL

laurjohn2 · July 2010

no, not making fun of you. if you had a signed jock strap, what the hell would you do with it? and who would you tell?

Alec29 · July 2010

Right. Never even thought of that. That would be very stalkerish and creepy. LMAO

Brian · July 2010

YES

Gus G has a cleaner delivery (although he isn't all that great either)

Basically, the person who you aren't impressed with so far has been playing the stuff that the person you do want has written.

Ezkaton2000 · July 2010

Jake E Lee was and is amazing...Listen to "Bark at the Moon" or "Shot in the Dark" and tell me otherwise. Randy was the best but Jake was easily better then Zakk or Gus...everyone likes Zakk because he is a cool dude.
