Hi All,
Wow, love the site !! Nice to see an "alternative", and a solution.

I hate this for me to be my 1st post here but here we go ! >> LOL ...

All the Quiet Riot stuff is crap... Randy had some great riffs back then, but riffs dont make a great song all together. The QR writing was absolute crap...

I still dont understand why Randy's name being left off the credits for Cadillac on the Metal Health LP.

The Ozzy era writing is very extremely superior to anything QR ever came up with.

All the Blizzard and Diary stuff is UNREAL, super Fantastic. Not even to be compared with metal for years after the material was written, and years even still to come.
Randy set himself so far apart from any and almost all other players. His finesse, and strategy on the neck is nothing short of brilliance.
The changes , the choards, the triple tracking, the arrangements and overtones are very unique and sophisticated, pure brilliance on guitar.

But my least favorite Ozzy / Randy song is No Bone Movies, for sure.
It reminds me of a Benny Hill type song. Benny Hill chasing the girls in fast motion with NBM being played. Love It !! LOL ..

Love the site, super happy to see it...

G-d Bless Randy....

Because Kevin wrote "Slick Black Cadillac"; however, Randy's name was left off of Winners Take All on CC due to Mrs. Rhoads wishes, I believe, or for legal reasons. But he was credited for it on Live & Rare.

Yeah I think he was, I have barely seen any of his stuff though since I was born too late and the tv channels don't seem too crazy on him.

Honestly? My two least favorite songs by Randy w/Ozzy are Flying High Again and Believer. I just don't dig those tunes as much as the others.

Definitely Little Dolls, just couldn't get into that one :| ...and I love the guitar work in Flyin High, but I think the whole "Oh no, oh no, here we go, here we go now" thing sounds just sounds retarded...

I honestly love ALL the Ozzy material but if i had to pick one i liked the least.. its clearly... LITTLE DOLLS.

i like most of the qr stuff.. but qr1 has some not so great songs.... but i thought they improved 100% for qr2. but my fav qr stuff is the demos for qr3. breaking us is a heartache is my favorite qr song.

You Looking At Me. I am of the minority who prefer No Bone made the album and this song was relegated to B-side status, instead of the other way around.
More than anything else, it sounds to me like re-heated QR. But, it's a part of the Mach I legacy, so I can appreciate it's merits.
There is nothing on either album I skip past.
Whenever I put on Blizzard or Diary, what a wonderful, delicate furious beast.... I MISS you, man!

Hm....
All the QR songs sound terrible to me.

As for the Ozzy songs, I don't care much for: Steal Away the Night, No Bone Movies, You Said It All, Little Dolls, You Can't Kill Rock N Roll, and Tonight.
