How did it sound?

I read Alex interesting things there about that gig in "the story of the Ozzy Osbourne band, playing two guitarparts at the same time in Mr. Crowley etc..

No. Ozzy has always(AFAIK) always had only 1 guitarist.
He was referring to the Youtube.com clip I posted which
is Alex Skolnicks first band, legendary thrashers TESTAMENT
playing one of their oldies :)

When Alex however played with Ozzy he did double harmonies
in the 1st part of the 2nd solo in Mr. Crowley :)

that's exactly why I don't like Joe.
no disrespect to Randy whatsoever ...
... but I feel that copying other players was what
Joe was good at ... and that's about it.

That's because Joe's only real public appearences have been in bands where he was hired specifically to copy other players. I hope he gets the chance to show off his skills with his own music someday.

that would be cool :)
didn't he write something with Lizzy Borden ?
I'm pretty sure the song was "Lord of the flies" :!:

... and as he played with DLR he oughta have something
written and recorded there too 8)

I heard Joe has turned his back on music now and has become involved in the Catholic Church. I saw him a few times and he was always very good and had an understated persona.

Wikipedia states a rumour that Joe passed away.

THats why I dislike him

He COPIED note for note. he never had his own unique escence. Joe is just an average guitar player who got to play with Ozzy. I think he should record a solo album! that way we can really see what hes like. Chances are that will never happen though
