Filling Randy Rhoades' shoes is not an easy task, but Jake E. Lee did justice to Randy's legacy and put his own imprint on Ozzy's music. What a legend, thanks for rewinding!

Jake’s playing I feel was most intricate, original, and explosive out of all Ozzy’s former players. If you cover Randy’s , Zack, and Jake’s playing you should be able to see that!

Jake is my favorite Ozzy guitarist and this song never gets old... and BTW the first 2 Badlands albums are legendary. And you are a badass guitarist, Nico!

Jake E. Lee doesn’t get the credit he deserves! So many great solos, songs and riffs. Truly one of the greats!

Oh man, that whole song and solo are simply out of this World...🥳😎

This is personal blasphemy for me to say this (...as Randy Rhoads is my all time favorite guitarist...by far!), but this, to me, is Ozzy's best "solo career" song. Hands down. It has everything that I personally love. A great driving main riff that never lets up the entire song. And the solos, well they're just spectacular. Both are fantastic. I can listen to this song on a loop and never get tired of it. Some Jake fans might disagree, but to me it's Jake's finest work from start to finish. A metal tour de force! As an aside, I don't want to forget the impact Bob Daisley also had in the writing of this and many of Ozzy's early "solo career" songs.

There have been so many great guitarists but Jake has always been in my very short list of them.

I discovered Randy Rhoads playing after his death. It was so far over my head I was in awe of his playing. I bought a Doug Marks cassette (how to play like Randy Rhoads) with tabs and learned a lot of runs and blues based licks I still use today. What a complete master and one of the greatest to ever play guitar. Jake was a totally different player. A beast in his own right and carried the torch far beyond metal. His rhythm player was masterful and his leads are still influencing players today. Bark at the Moon is still a go to in my collection. I never get tired of its sound, feel and great musicianship!

A very overlooked Ozzy guitarist by many. Im a huge fan. Unique style, unreal riffs, iconic solos and his albums were amazing!! So different from Randy too but kept the feel of Ozzy 🤘

Great breakdown to help me dial this one in. Never played this song live with my band but I play this song at home frequently just because its an amazing tune on every level and helps improve my overall technique . Fun and challenging simultaneously.

I'm glad I found this channel. So helpful in my own playing.

Great solo by a great player. His work in Ultimate Sin is outstanding

My absolute favorite solo of all time - thanks for this!

DID YOU KNOW? Jake E. Lee's signature ESP guitar had a 24 inch scale length neck, not 25.5. I absolutely LOVE 24 inch scale length necks.

That Guitar work at Bark at the Moon is the most perfect,epic, Transcendental Metal Work ever defines the style and era

Always a beast sir! Amazing skills

Great insight on a powerful solo. I'd ask if you can consider Love Gun's solo for next one

Seen this video on your other Channel. However the content is so fucking amazing that I’m rewatching it hahaha

completely agree with your last statement, that's what makes it a great solo, the emotion and feeling. same happens with janick's blood brothers (maiden), george lynch's alone again (dokken), mick mars' home sweet home (motley crue), solos to name a few that came into my mind, that they have that special emotion that makes you want to not just listen it 1000 times but also learn it, no matter if you're a pro or a begginer

It's my favorite solo of all Ozzy songs.

Brilliant

It was Mötley Crüe on the Shout at the Devil tour, and Ozzy Osbourne, supporting Bark at the Moon. Wow!!!

I think Jake just walked into an impossible situation. I read an interview back in the day where Ozzy said that he wouldn't have been Brad Gillis for anything in there world because "you have to me one stone cold mother to get up there after a guy got burnt up in a crash". I always got the feeling that he carried this feeling until he started working with Zakk who, for various reasons, likely reminded him of Randy. That, plus the fact that more time and had passed, plus the rehab... Probably all helped it feel more like a fresh start. And I'm sure Zakk's personality helped too because I have a feeling Jake might have been a bit more headstrong than what Ozzy and crew were willing to accommodate. As for the sound, ability, and playing style, judging only by everything I have heard so far, I don't believe there was any technical disparity between the two. Musically, Randy would have been more knowledgeable and perhaps had a stronger melodic sensibility. Not that Jake isn't a melodic player... because clearly is! Jake's compositions I find have an unshakeable 80s era melancholy behind them... Almost like those parts were written after coming down from a coke binge or something... 😅 I love listening to those songs, but let's just say they are not exactly uplifting. That was long winded AF, wasn't it? 😅

I'm a massive ozzy and randy fan, but that song and solo is brilliant, plus Jake was no slouch playing randy rhoads guitar parts live either !

So many say that after Rhoads, the next best guitarist in Ozzy's band was Wylde. To me, it's not even close. Jake E. Lee was IMO 2nd after Rhoads. In fact, to me, he gave Rhoads a run for his money. BATM was an incredible Ozzy album with some great guitar chops. I was fortunate to see Jake E. Lee play in '84 with Motley Crue opening up. Phenomenal show. Apropos, awesome lesson and great guitar. I own an 87 Charvel Model 4 in Red with shark tooth inlays. Great and underrated guitar. Thanks for the excellent video. 🙂
