Randy Rhodes...

It's who I grew up on.

Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Rickey Medlocke, Steve Gaines and Hughie Thomasson.

Zakk is hated by alot of people for some reason, but I still rank him higher than Randy

Amen brother.

What do you think about Jake E. Lee Coach? I think he was underrated too but definitely overshadowed by Rhoads and Wylde. I think his best work was done with Badlands though. Definitely blues influenced.

Mine is Mo.

Please. Please. Please. Mo, will you post a video of you playing your guitar? Please?

Apples and oranges. I can't say that one is really better.

Different styles of high performance models, lol.
As far as Ozzy's guitarists are concerned...Jake E Lee is awesome.

You can tell the difference between these guys for sure, but I'm not going to say any of them are better than the other, just different.

I prefer Randy.

And had Randy lived, who knows how much he would have evolved.

Early Zakk was very southern rock.

After Randy would have to be Dimebag Darrell. Hands down.
I CAN say that Dimebag was better. I think it was because he was a TRUE fan of all these guys. Imitation IS the best form of a compliment. There wasn't a lot Dime couldn't do with 6 strings.

However, Randy is what I grew up on and he's part of my youth.
Without the likes of Randy, there would be no Zakk or Dime to hear (as know them).

Absolutely. Badlands was awesome. You know he actually got the gig with Ozzy after it came down to him and George Lynch.

Hey midget, I want a video, or I declare war.

I loved ALL of Ozzy's guitarists but Randy Rhodes is my all time favorite

Keep in mind that Dimebag was also influenced by Ace Frehley...what does that tell you. I dont know what Randy would have done had he lived, but based on what he did accomplish and what Zakk has proven he can do...Zakk is hands down the better guitarist/musicisn
