Ozzy had a lot of guitaristis along his career, most of them great guitar killerz! Who do you prefer among Randy Rhoads and Zakk Wylde? I think Randy Rhoads was a real neoclassical guitarist, with more technical capabilities, but I like Zakk Wylde a lot too.

I have to say I don't know Jake Lee...I'm gonna give a listening to him, some days ago I discovered he had another guitarist, Joe Holmes, playing live in the 90s. He was teached by Randy Rhoads in person and I can say he can play very much. I know Joe Holmes played also for Lizzie Borden but I don't know what he is doing now.

Both are fantastic guitarists are fantastic, technically Randy Rhodes is the better player, but Zakk Wylde sounds heavier.

Zakk Wylde is becoming heavier with time, but I have to say that I like his southern rock stuff much more than the crappy Black Label Society metal.

I have to admit that I have not kept up with Ozzy that much other than his first two solo albums. I also have a feeling that if Randy was still alive, he would still be Ozzy's guitarist today. However, some of the things that Randy had done must have been relatively tough for subsequent guitarists to learn so Ozzy can perform those songs & still sound good i concert.
