Jake was the PERFECT replacement for Randy. He was able to pull off all of Randy with his own style and still kick ass with feel. He is SO underrated and was not given the respect he certainly earned. I think he was every bit as much a part of the amazing Ozzy years as Randy was. He held that torch up high man, and really made it his own while still respecting the fact that he replaced and filled the shoes of someone very special. IN the end, Jake E Lee is also a very special guitarist of our time and deserves alot more praise than he gets.

Jake never got the recognition he deserves. Such a great player

Jake E. Lee for me is the best. He has such a good taste for solos and chords. Great tone and superb execution.

For me, he's the guitarist that came the closest to EVH in terms of how innovative his riffs and solos sounded.

Jake is so good. So original. Definitely underrated.

Amazing work. Jake is a monster. The ultimate sin is my favorite Ozzy album ever.

but you acknowledge Randy was better as a player even though you like Jake's playing better. As live players Randy was just a better player and changed songs every night

I still remember the summer day back in 1986 at the age of 12 when my brother woke me up. He brought in a boom box and told me to just listen, then he hit play and the tape began playing. It was this album and from the first note all the way to the last, I just sat up in bed listening. I became a metal fan and aspiring guitarist that very day. This album and Jake’s playing changed my life forever. I still get the goosebumps hearing anything off this album to this day. Such a powerful album.

The Killer of Giants solo is a masterpiece...And Maciej nailed it.....Hauntingly beautiful.....Well done!

Brought a tear to my eyes, so happy these songs are still inspiring players. Bark at the moon album came out when I was in High School and Ultimate Sin around 1986 they were so great. so many great memories. Missed seeing Randy play because of big uproar about Ozzy eating live animals on stage, local community was so dumb. Show was cancelled and Randy died a few months later. Still upset. Both Randy and Jake were incredible musicians.

@@BFahz The mostly American obsession with competition and being the "best" at anything is antiquated, boring and absurd. This is especially true when those who espouse their OPINION do so without reasons, details, or facts. Jake was damn good but Randy Rhoads was blessed with dazzling chops and an innate comprehension of music theory. His style had a perfect blend of flash and melodic structure. Flowing legato sections segued to impossibly fast, palm-muted picking passages; incendiary trills and daring chromatic maneuvers coexisted with classically influenced melodies - all of which were derived from a seemingly inexhaustible supply of scales and arpeggios and laid out across an ever-shifting rhythmic landscape. What’s more, Rhoads was so precise that he could seamlessly double-track anything for maximum sonic density. Sadly, only three recordings - Blizzard of Ozz, Diary of a Madman and Tribute - captured Rhoads’ genius. The musicianship within those tracks is as stunning and inspirational today as it was back then: www.guitarplayer.com/lessons/randy-rhoads-the-magical-techniques-of-the-wizard-of-ozz

Dude amazing job and great execution. Jake E Lee is no joke. The fact these songs are inspiring a younger generation to learn these songs is a testament to Jakes brilliance as a guitar player.

Ozzys best album. Ozzys best album. Daisley and Lee needed their own band

One thing that I can appreciate is being able to watch this being played in real time, up close and you know it's incredibly hard to recreate and it's spot on

The pinch harmonics are so clean and precise. Took me a long time of playing to be able to get them about anywhere that I wanted them, but they're just not that clean. I believe that hours and hours of practice is just not enough. There are some acrobatics that require precise timing and touch to pull them off perfectly. The touch is the part that you have or you don't. I had a friend who was just a natural freak. His progress was insane. He's been playing less than 18 months and he's getting a pretty solid handle on most of the Lynch solos from Tooth and Nail. I see him again in a month or so, and he's working on the Yngwie's Trilogy album, and it's coming along nicely. We were teens in the 80s. Graduated in 87. Was the greatest time to be a new guitar player.

Amazing work! Your solo compilations are my favorite videos on KZread!

I think Ozzy was just too fucked up to appreciate what was in front of him. And I think he was pissed, wrongful so, at Randy for not being there and Jake for being there even tho it wouldn't matter who it was cause it wasn't what Ozzy wanted which was Randy. Like we all compare the dead to whomever takes their place... I think that's natural but it's not right. I love Randy but I dig Jake more.... I like how Jake sometimes is nasty and in the slop while Randy was just fluid like SRV was before drugs.

I remember Sharon saying producer Ron Nevison messed up the production. It was a much heavier album but Nevison wanted more commercial appeal. Jake’s guitars are incredible on this album and his parts are quite heavy. The rest of the album doesn’t quite match his intensity. I believe that’s why Ozzy disliked it so.

One of my favorite ozzy albums. I forgot how good these solos were! Nailed them.

Brilliant job here playing too, mate! To me, Jake landed right in the sweet-spot between emotion, shred, space and hooks...Just like Randy did:) Jake played all of his solos like he wrote em.

Jake is my favorite player, he has a style and technique thats unusual and unique

So many incredibly talent musicians came out of the '80s. I won't say who's the best because I don't believe there's a way to categorize that. But I think it's legitimate to offer up our favorites. For me, apart from the elder statesman who got their start in decades previous, the axlingers that emerged in the '80s that really got my attention included Warren DeMartini, Chris DeGarmo, and Jake E Lee. I might throw in Nuno betancourt as an honorable mention not so much for his songwriting but for his virtuosity. PS about George Lynch, I loved his sound, and the way he used his overdrive when he did his solos, but there is something about the way he structured his solos They just really put me off, I just didn't feel like he composed them the way I liked to hear them but I'll tell you what I loved the way his rig sounded.

Jake is right there behind Alex Lifeson as my most underrated rock guitarist ever. Hearing them all together like this you see how much melody there was in Jake's solos on this album, how they were all mini-compositions of their own just like Randy's solos were on 'Diary...'.

It's great seeing you play with so much emotion, most folks covering just play like robots. I can really fell the solos, nice work!

Total win because whammy bars sap the tone and sustain. Jake’s sound is what a great guitar sings when it’s got the best driver.

Awesome. Such an underrated Ozzy album. I was lucky enough to see this tour as my first Ozzy concert.

Funny story, when this album landed I was in my final year of high school. I had an exam in the afternoon one day, and I had started to listen to 'Fool Like You'. Even though I knew I would be late for the exam, I had to listen to it again. It's just so catchy and so good!

RR is my fav. but Jake is right behind him!!! amazing original style in his own right.. loved smoking up and hearing jake wail!!!

I think Jake's guitar work on this album was so much better than on Bark at Moon to bad Ozzy hates the way this album was mixed. Great job on guitar bud.

Jake - my favourite Ozzy axeman. Superb shredding!

Musically this may be Ozzy’s best solo record but damn did they drop the ball on the tone. Jake’s brilliant ideas “ultimately” surpass the sound but this could have been a serious opus for Ozzy if they had also done a better sounding record. Dude, you crushed this. Really got his vibrato down.

Over the top and insane but perfect for the song. BATM is amazing, but this was the next step and they knocked it out of the park and it was kind of a let down commercially and none of the Ozzy fans talk about it.
