Im order
Randy Rhoads - CDs Blizzard of Oz & Diary of a Madman
One of my regrets is I never saw Randy play live - I have a note in my dairy that year for Ozzy's gig at the Glasgow Apollo - but for some reason I did'nt get a ticket - doh!
Jake E Lee - CD The Ultimate Sin DVD - The Ultimate Ozzy - a dodgy South American release purchased at a record fair - also available as a legit release on VHS. Some of the 5 fret fingerings used during Jake's solo make you want to give up playing the guitar. I also happen to like his chorused guitar sound. He also did not use a tremelo - he either bent the neck of his Charvel back ! or used his machine heads to divebomb.
Brad Gillis - CD Speak of the Devil DVD Speak Of The Devil - bought from tower.co.uk
Brad played after Bernie Torme had filled in when Randy died.
I saw him at the Apollo & he played the solos note for note.
It would have been interesting for him to have done original tunes with Ozzy
Bernie Torme - have no releases of him with Ozzy - bootlegs or otherwise - but his solo work & stuff with Gillan & Dee Snider sureley place him above -
Zakk Wylde - DVD OK I am only basing this on the DVDs I have - Live & Loud and Live at the Budokan - he is by far the worst guitarist Ozzy has had - very repetitive - pinch harmonics all the time
OOOOWWW OOOWWW OOOOWWW
I LOVE YOU ALL

Probably easier to say who his worst one was! When I got into Ozzy, Jake e lee was his axe man so that set me off 
Then found out about Mr Rhodes and whilst his guitaring was outstanding, I found I wasn't good enough to play like that so I went back to Jake e lee. By the time i was anywhere near Randy (Well rythmn wise antway ) standard Zakk Wilde was on the scene and I found that he was easier to copy so I drifted over there
Whilst I was finding my feet though, I was also trying to rip off Slash, Steve Vai (**** I failed there lol )Kirk Hammet etc.
So at the moment, It's Zakk Wilde

Jake E Lee for sure.
No Doubt about it.
Gutsier playing, great showman (shame about his guitar sound though!! Where's your mid-range gone then lad?), was more individual and inventive than the other guys.
That's what I think anyway

Rhoads for me 
When I saw him at Rock City after Zakk had temporarily left to do his own thing, he had a chap called Joe Holmes playing geetar on stage. Anyone know anything about him?

Jake E Lee was a tosser - remember a comment he made on Rhoads "He could never play anything that I could have". That's cos he was dead u ****![img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
