what's interesting? the fact that zakk is a poser? a guy from new jersey pretending he is from the south.

What's interesting is that YOU are a poser, dork. You pose as someone with a clue about guitar playing when, in reality, you are just an opinionated jerk who likes to talk shit.

I made it clear that I am not a fan of Zakk but if you are going to be negative, do it in a mature manner and explain your reasoning. Your opinion that he is a poser is not much of a valid reason for saying he's no good as a player.

Saying he plays too many notes, rarely slows down and relies too heavily on pinch harmonics is much closer to a reasonable reason to not like his playing. Not everyone will agree that he does any of those things, but they are grounds for discussing the subject.

And by the way, tough guy, "mutha" and "fuka" aren't words in the English language. So if you want want to talk shit to me, use real words.

I agree with Darin... Jake's records have a couple good songs and lots of blandness. Find a copy of the US Festival show and you'll see that even Ozzy didn't have much confidence in Jake. It was the show that introduced Jake to the world and it's almost impossible to hear Jake under all the keyboards.

Your opinion says Jake is better. Quit bashing Zakk, he's done some good stuff, too.

On BOO, Diary, BATM & NRFTTW, he contributed all of his talents to, US was lyrics and music only, NMT was performance only.
The man has been an influence on my playing since 1980. When I discovered later on that he wrote all the lyrics as well as having a big part in the songwriting, it respected him more.
I feel even in bass guitar circles, he is underrated. Which is weird when you consider the guitarists he's played and recorded with:
Ritchie Blackmore
Randy Rhoads
Mick Box
Gary Moore
Jake E Lee
Tony Iommi
Yngwie Malmsteen
Jeff Watson
Warren DiMartini
Steve Vai (allegedly they worked together on the shelved XRay album)
Steve Morse
I'm sure I'm leaving a few out, but you get the picture.
His standouts will always be Blizzard and Diary, just for the interplay he and Rhoads shared, and he and Kerslake shared, and the way his lyrical basslines were an excellent link between the two.
But getting back on topic, I thought his work on BATM was great, US faltered due to the fragile relationship he and Oz had at that point. No disrespect to Soussan, but I feel it would have been a stronger album had he played on it, as well as been involved with the recording process. I remember the story of the first time Bob and Randy played together, they said to eachother, simotaneously: "I like the way you play.", I wonder how Jake felt playing with Bob.
US certainly did have some bland moments, but I thought BATM was great from beginning to end.
Yeah, "So Tired" too!
The two with Zakk were a return to form. It's funny, the sound that Ozzy's albums have become known for has been defined by Bob.
So many fans sing along to the lyrics, thinking they were written by Ozzy.
I relaize many other musicians and other talents have contributed to everything recorded by Ozzy since he started his career, but Daisley's work may measure the greatest.
It's also a pity that the Osbournes choose to ignore him, seeing how he helped lay the foundation of what is now akin to a large corporation.
