Ozzy, did not sing for tony iommy... iommy made a band , that could only exsist with Ozzy. Sabbath is Ozzy's band... his side gig.. oh and,, if you're offended by the truth... have a shot of vinegar.

After Randy was Bernie extremely brief stint....Brad Gillis followed Bernie Undercover and behind the scenes is George Lynch... traveling with the Oz crew but only playing during sound check... during this same time...Jake E Lee is brought in for a try out...being buried by debt the responsibility of providing for a family... George had to cut his hair...for a job.. because the Ozzy people were not moving fast enough to accommodate George's Financial needs.. so he cut his hair...as George is standing side stage Jake does his try out and messed up a couple of songs but still manages to grab Oz and Sharon's attention with his phenomenal guitar prowess....Ozzy walks up kid you want the gig...Jake replies " ah yeah?"...he turns to George you lost it you Lost the gig you shouldn't have cut your hair.. Jake records two albums with the Oz...then Jakes fired and enter Zak Wylde...then short stint with Joe Holmes....back to Zak..then it gets weird... however he does do an awesome track with Jeff Beck...on patient number 9.... I always felt Ozzy should have done one more album with Jake E Lee Because the " Ultimate Sin" album was very good and commercially successful....some of Jakes best Ozzy works is on Ultimate Sin... Jake is a phenomenal talent and There must be other reasons why he has never been brought back where as Zak has come back several times...to be fully honest...I'm a big fan of the live guitar tone on the album " speak of the Devil" horrible album title but great album...Brad Gillis live tone really is second to none....he is a monster a full on Guitar great in my opinion.. So for me it's hats off to Bradley Gillis.

How has Corey not gotten better at music (and dancing) over the past 30 years? Started slow, and got worse from there.

Jake was the best of them all. Period

What a really good retrospective, thanks! you nailed it.

Jake's Badlands albums highlight is playing sound of nothing like the 80s hair band albums some songs had a Robin Trower feel to it

Cherry pie was great 😌

Brad saved Ozzy's ass! He told me he had to learn 30 some songs in 7 days. Like RR, Brad can play anything & he liked his band. $$ talks tho.

Jake is the Best! Listen with your ears and not what has been pounded in your head by “critics”

MadSciRexieFi, your first paragraph gets a double Amen from me . Amen Amen ……

When i was stationed at Barksdale AFB from 1984 to 1988 i played on base with a rag tag band mostly heavy metal of the time. There was a club in Shreveport La that had live metal bands every week, the club was called circle in the square and in 1984 when in first went is when I first saw Pantera! Just as they look in this video, even the outfits! Every time they would tour the I-20 music corridor out of Fort Worth/Dallas Texas they would play at the club. I was a huge fan then and on one occasion Terry the lead singer recognized me at the front of that tiny stage and pulled me up to sing a metal version of Elvis' Heart break hotel! I didn't know most of the words but yeah Pantera could make any song heavier and better! They did allot of Priest and Kiss covers that were just plain bad ass like Cold Gin! Back then Darrel was known as Diamond Darrell not Dime bag! That changed later! I had all there albums at the time. Darrell one time let me come back stage and there was a signature thing he would do with his Dean guitar on stage that drove the girls wild. He would grab the head of the neck and then shoved the guitar across his crotch downward and then slid it back up all while flicking his tongue at the girls as the guitar made this metallic groaning noise! I asked how he did that and he explained that he always kept the back kick plates off his guitars exposing the tremolo/bridge springs. He wore a leather belt with a spike in the center and one day while practicing he accidentally ran the spike along those springs and was able to run the guitar back and forth making some cool sounds! He didn't know me except that i was a familiar fan who played guitar and loved metal! He was salt of the earth, they all were and I've never forgotten! Fast forward to 1990 i was out of the air force, married with a 4 month old child and i worked late many nights as a sales manager, i remember coming home late maybe 11 pm in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and my infant son was awake crying so i held him in the living room of a one bedroom apartment and thought I wonder if head bangers ball is still on! It had been years so i found it and just stood there as I rocked my son in my arms and then for the first time ever i saw a video and it was Pantera with Cemetery Gates and i think I yelled f yeah!!!! They had finally made it and they never looked back! It saddens me to remember the loss of Darrell and Abbott, they were great guys and talented beyond measure, they treated me in that time and place like a friend and I was and always will be a fan! I'm sixty years old now but I still crank Pantera! They will always rule to me! Thanks for the amazing video!

I know you did 80's hair bands in the 90's grunge, but maybe do a 80's thrash bands in the 90's grunge and alternative era. Thanks.

I don't find this sounds like Glam Metal, so much as 80's classic metal like Judas Priest and Scorpions. Bands that had been around in the 70's but peaked in the 80's.

Alice Cooper had a few albums with an industrial flavour in the late 90's and early 2000's also.

Shot in the Dark was a reimagining of a song Phil Soussan wrote with Steve Overland in their band Wildlife. Sharon kinda stole the song from Phil then lol. Steve formed FM (great band) but never got paid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4K0qqSbhreeqrs

Was Dime an 8-bit Black Mage? lol

Forever Tonight is my favorite Pantera song.

Blackjack worked for him, that style of music just kinda went out after the late 70s.

The problem for a lot of the Glam/Hair metal bands is they were so much a cliche of themselves and the sound that was in was so different, a lot of them couldn't adapt and come across as genuine. Skid Row had a bit of that heavier sound and imagery in some of their songs, but not quite enough. Their 90's releases weren't bad, just they got branded as a left over of the 80's. Ozzy already did it all between his time in Black Sabbath and his solo career. I think he had am easier time to reinvent himself because of it. A lot of the 90's grunge artists were still influenced by Black Sabbath from his time with them.

Aiommi😂😂😂😂😂😂 è un nome italiano, la pronuncia è iommi. Se poi lo stesso Tony dice aiommi vuol dire che non conosce le sue origini. E comunque nel 1996 a Locarno i black sabbath di Tony Martin, continuavano a dire : mr. tony IOMMI….

These guys are decent but dave murray is better.

Way more talent than Ozzy ever deserved. He and Sharon treated ridiculously talented musicians like garbage.

Zakk Wylde is a douche.

So, here is the scoop on Jake. He was told he would be given $5000 and writing credits, which he agreed to verbally. He wrote and recorded all the songs with Ozzy, and when Sharon put a contract in front of him, they increased his base pay from $5,000 to $15,000 but removed the writing credits. When he asked about it, she said "yea, I know. Sign the contract or here's a plane ticket. On the second album, Jake insisted on a contract with writing credits, which he got. He was fired after that tour, due to him being "hard to work with". So, like I said , the Osbournes are assholes. I think Randy was only getting paid $300/week...

On the George Lynch thing, what you missed was he went on the road for 2 months with Ozzy, playing at the sound checks and watching Brad Gillis while he learned the songs. He wasn't paid a penny for those 2 months and was let go, right in front of Jake E Lee, due to the fact that he had short hair and they didn't like his image. Which, he ALWAYS had short hair from the time he was asked to go on the road with Ozzy, the Osbournes are assholes.

Jake E Lee and Ozzy were amazing onstage. Jake is my fav guitarist to this day after I went to the Bark at the moon tour when I was 13. I wish it had lasted longer.

Ozzy and George Lynch is one of the biggest "what if" in metal history to me

jake all day everyday!!

Randy kicked it all off, and no one sounds better than him. My opinion of course.

The poetry in the narration makes it even more worth the watch.

I love JakeE Lee's playing. His riffs are ao unique. I prefer him over Zakk

Great vid man! You rock!

Bro you're comparing with Skid Row .... ur nuts.

Thanks for the video 🤘🏻

Randy was special. 👍🏻✌🏻

As much as I love Randy and Zakk,and Zakk is my favorite guitarist and performer,I always thought Jake was the best.Never really a fan of Ozzy,Randy,Jake and Zakk where the real reason Ozzy's band was so good,taking nothing away from the other band members.

After all the dust has settled, I'm amazed at all the George Lynch projects. Him and Pinnick create magic. Also his stuff with Sweet is awesome. I think two of the hardest working guitarist today are Lynch and Slash. Of course Iommi is a guitar God. Love all the remasters he is releasing! 🖤

Zakk forever

When he shoved his guitar player out of the way and did the robot. Epic.

There will never be another Randy Rhodes, his full potential will never be known.

All I have to say is that if Randy Rhodes had lived and didn't die in the plane crash there would be no other guitar players for Ozzy. Period.

I was about 12 the first time I heard Mr.Crowley and Crazy Train and this brand of hard rocking music has been in my blood ever since I'm now 52 and still a head banger!

Actually ozzy passed his demo over without listening because he got a lot of crapy Randy wanna be's and thought he was just another. Sharon heard the demo about a month later and flew him out. Ozzy was pissed but she made him listen to him and that was that. That is the story from all involved.

Ozzy didn't even hear Randy play. He heard him play a few scales to warm up.

Seeing Badlands in Austin’s Backroom (might be wrong on name) with Bangtango was top 3 of my favorite concerts!. #1 Rolling Stones w/ Living Color. #2 Iron Maiden-Saxon-Fastway

I'll take Jake

It's interesting that Def Leppard, Poison and of course Bon Jovi had more success in the UK during alternaschlock years. Def Leppard had four Top 40 hits including a No. 2 single in 1995/1996, Poison had two Top 40 singles off Native Tongue, and Bon Jovi These Days (inexplicably) went double platinum.

Blizzard of Ass and Diarrhea of a Madman. That's what I think of those albums

Marty friedman could have been one of them instead they picked Jake e lee.

Hes not bending behind the neck as a trill it acts like a semi whammy bar. If you do hammer ons and pull offs and pull on the string from behind the hand thats pulling off it acts like a whammy bar without having one...
