How cool it must have been to have Randy as a guitar teacher.I wish someone would interview Joe about that.The only thing I saw was the japanese tribute to Randy which was cool but it didn't talk to Joe long.

What would that have to do with him talking about Randy Rhoads? Being born - again doesn't remove your memories or your talents, it only gives you a new direction to focus your talents.
I'd bet that if someone asked Joe about Randy, he'd be happy to discuss the subject.
I read that he died or something or disappeared just like Jake did..
"Hahaha, you don't see rockstars with straight A's in high school and such," says johnthebrucelee. "Actually, that only goes to show that playin' guitar ain't rocket science," Deansolo remarked. ;)
joe holmes is really good-unfortunately i didn't see him live -he is an awesome player-really good at ozzy songs-especially since taking lessons from randy himself-i really don't know why ozzycanned him?-hes really amazing-maybe the difference in musical direction i suppose
Well he did write a couple of the songs on Down To Earth so he can't have been a great songwriter. That may have been why when Ozzy was looking for a new guitar player a while ago he stressed that they had to be able to write brilliant riffs and that he didn't care about flash. I don't think he should have gone back with Zakk, he should have got someone new or Doug Aldrich or whatever, anyway, back to the topic.
if I were to pick a new Ozzy guitarist I'd pick someone
that's heavy, yet melodic ... kinda like Tony Iommi
meets Randy Rhoads ... wait, then we'll have Zakk
Heavy and melodic ... maybe Synyster Gates.
The obvious choice would be Dimebag, if he was alive
Glenn Tipton would be interesting to hear with him since he is very talented at both rhythm playing and lead, but then again, he's no youngster. Ozzy seems to prefer young guitarists.
I have a recording of Joe playing Mr Crowley and he snaps a string and just keeps going! It was great and you can hear the string die.
