Heaviest Song From Randy Rhoads Era?

What song do you guys believe is the heaviest song that Randy wrote from Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne? Randy played a bunch of different ways on many of his songs so I was curious :D

For Quiet Riot it's Look in Any Window... The bands beat and Randy's guitar is so nasty in that song. That's one Quiet Riot song that should've been played on the radio... Still should be played on radio today...

For Ozzy, Believer.. Believer also has the tone and feel to it... The solo is ridiculously fast and jacked... On Tribute and during many boots, the song all of a sudden sounds 10x heavier. Great song :)

I would have to agree that LOOK IN ANY WINDOW is Randy's heaviest song.

Randy's writting wasn't as much heavy as it was scary... Songs ike Diary of a Madman aren't heavy but they are scary.
Almost like halloween music.

I've always thought the main riff in "Suicide Solution' was just heavy as hell. That opening riff always hits like a ton of bricks. "Over The Mountain" is just a beast, even with the soft part in the bridge, that song is still extremely heavy to me.

I suppose it depends on your definition of 'heavy'... to me, Laughing Gas and Over the Mountain would be his heaviest riffs.

I agree with OVER THE MOUNTAIN and SUICIDE SOLUTION. Especially when they played OTM during the DOAM tour. The SUICIDE SOLUTION from After Hours is bone crushing, especially the solo.

Gotta agree with Axeman - Suicide Solution from After Hours is heavier than 5 tons of lead. Yet to hear a heavier version IMO.
