I was wondering who you liked and why?

My favorite was Jake I met him once and he was such nice guy.

I don't want to see any insults for Brad Gillis here, I have been told he used to go to RRTK but stopped visiting after he saw himself insulted on a regular basis.
So now I am going to say Brad he is second to Jake but only due to the fact I met Jake and he was so cool. I think we ignore Brad unfairly he did a great job without very much notice and lets face it they were very big shoes to step into!

As an Ozzy fan I know that we owe Brad and Bernie Torme lots of gratitude for keeping the band on track and giving the support that allowed Ozzy to build the career he went on to have.

Thank you Brad you are an amazing Guitarist, and when I'm looking for boots you are one of the guitarist I keep a special eye out for.

Well, Randy and Jake both influenced me a lot. Never a fan of Zakk Wylde at all. Brad did a good job as well :).

He toured with Ozzy for many years, but apparently
he wasn't a very good songwriter :?

True Ozzy said he was a great guitarist. But he was always "absent" during studio sessions. He wrote some of the songs off down to earth. Apparently Junkie and a couple others.

The best of Osbourne's guitarists (post Randy) would have to be Jake E. Lee. He played with a fire that, I think, was very important to the overall band sound. A very very HOT guitar player. Great tone. By far the best after Randy, at least in my opinion. I saw Brad Gillis a few months after Randy's passing. He wasn't 1/100th the player Randy was. He would just lean all over his vibrato bar where Randy would be playing actual notes. A bit dull. As for Zakk, he leans on the wah-wah pedal CONSTANTLY..... and a little goes along way. His sound is always the same. That gets to be a little too much. I never did see Joe Holmes. I wish I had though, from what everybody says........

Jake for his hair
Zakk for his shredding
Brad for his courage
Joe for his tolerance
