I was shocked when I heard of Randy's distaste towards Sabbath as I think his composing had some similiarities to the Sabbath style.
The use of the minor 3rd interval may seem a small one but it is idiosyncratic enough or even musically perverse enough:D to stand out as an example.
When I hear the tri tone bit on Over The Mountain or the sequences in the heavy section of Diary or the milking of the minor 3rd on Believer I just think Sabbath.
Flying High, Crazy Train Little Dolls, Tonight are such different tracks to Suicide Solution, Believer, Diary, SATO, Over The Mountain etc.
I like Randy's dark side the best
I love Children of The Grave and the solo to Paranoid. If he hated them I think that might have made the solos all the more 'pushing the boundries' in their nature!
This is why I thought we needed that revue
Cologne she'll wear silver and americard, She'll drive a beetle car and beat you down at cool Canasta. And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room touch the fullness of her breast feel the love of her caress she will be your living end.
