Did Tony Iommi ever see Randy play live with Ozzy, and if he did what did he think, I was just wondering. I know he was at the Birmingham N.E.C. concert in Dec'82, I've seen photos of Tony and Ozzy backstage, but Brad was in the band then.

Brad was in the band in December '82. I don't think Tony ever saw Randy play live although there's a big chance I'm wrong.

I didn't know Ozzy had met Tony untill Live aid in 1985 since he was thrown out of Sabb in 1979. Do you have a picture of that meeting in December 1982?

Found a quote
herewith some comments from Tony about Randy:
Tony Iommi(Black Sabbath)
Obviously, I've always had a bit of interest in the guitarists Ozzy has worked with. After having worked with somebody for so long, you can't dismiss their musical activities very easily. Ozzy once told me that one of the things which first attracted him to Randy was that he was the exact opposite of me. He looked different, and his style was very unique. I favor certain chord structures, while Randy had his own way of expressing himself. I admire what he did, though I wish Ozzy had given him a little more freedom to express himself on his albums.
btw: Welcome aboard Fozz!

I remember reading that(the comments from all the musicians) in one of the guitar magazines back in the day.

Yes I do have a copy of that photo somewhere, I'll have a look for it. It was in Kerrang and it also has a revue of the Birmingham concert.
