[@robert.m4676]

True they did screw him over .Ozzy has said he and Jake never made a personal connection with each other and that Jake tried to take over the musical direction of the band .where he and Rhoads were very connected on just the music but also on a personal level.

[@jeffsadowski7759]

What I thought separated Jake from others is that no one quite sounded like him in his writing style. He was right down the middle balancing great tech skills with alot of raw emotion, but in his fills and licks he always took you to a place unexpected but definitely desired. He left alot of space in his playing too. A perfectly concocted recipe for something memorable...That's for sure. Even with better shredders, alot of his work on BATM still holds close to the top of the heap today. He's a musician's guitar player for sure...Thanks Mr. LEE...Still listening:)

Jake's solo and lead out on Bark at the Moon is still one of my favourite guitar solos ever. If he had managed to find a band that did him justice and stick with them, he could have been a legend. Badlands should have been a supergroup, but they fell apart too soon and he never seemed to recover from that, just disappeared. Maybe he upset the wrong people and was an outcast from the hierarchy of the scene, but trying to find his music online these days is a struggle.

He came out of that group of “legendary LA Strip players” from the late ‘70s = Eddie Van Halen Randy Rhoads George Lynch Jake E Lee Warren DeMartini …and a couple others. Was an extraordinary era ❤

I always thought it was interesting how Jake puts his signature on the Randy Rhoads Ozzy tunes on the live recordings. He’s in my top 5 all time list.

[@kengyang1908]

Jake was the John 5 of the 80s,, from 80 to 88 this man on top,, those two albums with Ozzy guitar wise was amazing

[@henrys.6864]

One of my favorite guitarist. Very clever guitar player! 🎸

[@perpetualmotion357]

Ozzy's material from Blizzard through No More Tears is his classic solo era. He was never the same after his first retirement stint. Those first 6 albums with 3 guitarists all contributing two each brought something new two the table. While I have the Rhoads material as clearly my favorite, I like what Jake did on BATM/TUS and Zakk on NRFTW/NMT. Even though I have Randy as my clear number one, the song Bark at the Moon and its solo stacks up against anything off the first two albums with Rhoads. I liked Zakk before the Viking Biker look, and there is some phenomenal guitar work on the two records, but nothing stacked up to Bark at the Moon imo. Jake and Daisley laid down some magic with that one.

[@shaunclifton5281]

Wow ! You Nailed it on All points, especially how you and I prefer earlier Zakk. I thought Zakk was just Phenomenal during No Rest For the Wicked and No More Tears. I just Totally lost all interest once he reached the whole SDMF / BLS biker/lumberjack/viking wannabe bullshit. What the hell is his deal with constantly spitting up in the air above Himself ? He became Repulsive, and honestly never sounded as good again. He seems to be one Messed up dude. Jake E Lee is just Awesome ! Absolute magical guitar Wizard. Ozzy says he hated that period, when ironically, the Jake period is my Favorite Ozzy period. I LOVED the Ultimate Sin tour. Years later I would see whatever tour where Ozzy had Joe Holmes on guitar, and I hated it.

[@perpetualmotion357]

@@shaunclifton5281 I think Holmes was part of the Ozzmosis tour in 96/97. I get what you mean with Zakk and his spitting. There's a pro shot show from 89' in Philly where Zakk is doing the spitting in the air thing like he's trying to catch it again. So he's done that from the beginning. It is kinda sick but looks even worse when he looks like a dirty biker guy. I never liked Sharon but there's one thing that I found myself agreeing with her on and that's when she made the statement about Zakk turning Ozzys music into a BLS project, and I was hearing the same thing. After Ozzmosis, Ozzys music started to have these muddy uninspired guitar riffs and the production left a lot to be desired. It sounded like leftover mediocre riffs Zakk didn't use for BLS. I've always said that Ozzy solo sounded the best when he was more hard rock and less metal. Those bright sounding uplifting guitar parts Rhoads and Jake put to tape was just a better fit for him. Stuff like I Don't Know, Flying High Again, BATM, Shot In The Dark etc..just sounded better to my ears. I also agree with you that Zakk sounded great on NRFTW. That's one of my favorite Ozzy albums. Even NMT had some outstanding material looking back and still had Ozzy sounding like rock n roll. He only sounded good doing the darker doom stuff when he was with Sabbath, and I personally think the best Sabbath albums are Vol-4,SBS,Sabotage, where they started to get more progressive and away from the simple doom sound from their first 3.

[@johnhagan582]

Your comment pretty much sums up my thoughts also .I too think Ozzys best all time work is those first two records with Randy Rhoads .this was music that Randy had to come up with from a genre and style he was completely new to .Quiet Riot from the 70s was a pop group that's flamboyance was created in the honor of David Bowie and Mic Ronson so when Randy joined Ozzy he was out of his element in every way finding himself on another Continent having to create Heavy Metal music something he had never liked let alone had any experience with and was probably thinking he was in way over his head when he first sat down with Ozzy and asked "what do you want me to write" probably not having a clue and when Ozzy replied "just be yourself" that was the 3 best words Ozzy could have ever said to Randy cause it let him know that this new bands music was not gonna be like Black Sabbath's and let him draw from his educational perspective to write something completely new and unique .which is exactly what Ozzy wanted .after touring with Van Halen while in Sabbath he wanted to be in more of a Rock guitar oriented band simular to VH rather than the gloom and doom devil type like Sabbath was .and the result of this was what came out on the Blizzard an Diary recordings .this is wat made those 2 records stand out and caught the attention of the Rock fans around the world .and Lee's entry into Ozzys band was different in he was already playing music from that genre and really nailed it with Bark of the Moon .his playing and music was more explosive and hard rock driven than the first two albums and having to fill Rhoads shoes was something that couldn't have been easy by any stretch of the imagination .but he owned it and allowed Ozzy to carry on instead of fading away after Randy's death that could have very well happened had he not got the right guy .and Zach kept it going with his first 2 records. Like you after this Ozzys music wasn't quite the same Ozzy was having personal and health issues .he didn't have Bobs influence and lyrics anymore which was a HUGE part of Ozzy earlier success .Zach was wanting to do his own thing and Ozzy had a revolving door of musicians from this point on and never had anyone to create something special and magical anymore .

[@Mike-eq4ky]

@@johnhagan582 Spot on I think. Randy was an absolutely brilliant composer and still moves me to this very day. Lee was certainly more explosive style-wise and had better stage presence. He really did a great job keeping Ozzy's act together for a while and did an awesome job with Randy's material. As an album, BATM is quite a distant third for me - with the title song the sole exception. And Shot in the Dark was magnificent. But his writing paled to what Randy could create. That said, onstage Jake was brilliant. I actually think most of Lee's solo's were better improvised on stage, unlike Randy who played best after carefully composing and phrasing his solos, like Mr. Crowley. Interesting contrast. But Randy was far better at creating unique, out of the box melodies and fills... like in I Don't Know... you never expect what comes next but when it does it's absolute genius. And truly masterful, epic compositions like the way Diary builds to a dramatic climax. Randy's passion and fire were magical. I rarely felt that way with Jake's studio playing. There are a few moments when he hit it, but then slides into some fast pentatonic thing in a major key and just noodles off. But onstage, it's another story altogether. Never saw such a natural in front of a crowd! Anyway... let's not forget about Bob Daisley. He was the glue and catalyst for much of the early music. Thank God he wrote all the lyrics... LOL As far as chops are concerned, I always ponder what Randy might have become with another decade to develop once the genre had taken off. And he'd gone back to studying Classical for a while. He'd surely have been influenced by Vai, Satch, Yngwie, Freidman, Gilbert, etc... I could easily have seen him on the G3 tour and collaborating with everyone to create unexpected, brilliant and moving music. It would have been glorious...

[@johnhagan582]

@@Mike-eq4ky See I saw all 3 players (Rhoads .Lee. Whilde) .and IMO Rhoads had the greatest stage presence of anyone ever with maybe the exceptions of Hendrix and Page .and the live solo he did on Mr Crowley at the After Hours Promo was the Greatest Heavy Metal Guitar solo in history .the feeling he put into that eyes closed the entire time was unbelievable .but that's just my take brother .thanks for the reply though forsure

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

Jake's work in Badlands had possibly the largest influence on my own playing and writing out of almost anyone else. Not to mention his work with Ozzy. In his prime, I think he was untouchable. Extremely unique and innovative, with a huge dose of charisma and stage presence. Excellent picking technique and very identifiable. The way he would fearlessly bend that neck to get whammy effects was amazing, often it was downright frightening! I always expected to see that neck snap clean off, he would bend it so much!

Opinions on who the best guitarists are is subjective man. Jake was brilliant, anyone who questions or scoffs at that needs to have their hearing examined or has no concept of what a great player is. He was as good or better than Randy and for people who want to argue the whole classical angle, Jake was classically trained on piano. Randy was never formally classically trained & has said as much in interviews. This Don guy mentions all these virtuoso players & they’re all outstanding technical players, but I’m sorry Don, that shit goes in one ear & out the other. It’s boring a.f. Players like Jake, Eddie, George Lynch, and Warren DeMartini catch the interest of even the untrained ear due to the fact that they play with fire & a certain reckless abandon. Wish more kids would listen to guys like that instead of Tosin Abasi & the like. Learn how to write a song, not shred aimlessly kids!Too many nerds, not enough rockstars lol!

It's great seeing this compilation of Jake's career. Definitely one of the best guitar players / songwriters of our generation. His solos always fit the songs perfectly. He could be slow and tasteful or rip. Badlands was an incredible band. I saw them several times and got to meet Jake at the Troubodour after their Christmas (Dec 23rd) concert. Talked with him for 20 minutes. At the end of the night he came over and said good-night. Blew me away. We left about 5 minutes later and ran into Jake and his roadie / friend on the way to my car. We chatted some more. Talked about a show I saw him at in NY. Then I moved back to NY to go to college. Jake had formed a new band called Wicked Alliance. Got to see them in a small bar. Planted myself in front of Jake to watch the master at work. In the middle of the set he saw and recognized me. Mouthed "what are you doing here?" After the show, he came over to me and we started talking. First thing he asked was about our meeting in California and what I was doing in NY. Hard to imagine I made that big of an impression on Jake. It definitely made me a happy young man. I listen to all of the music written by Jake. Other influences were Randy, Warren, George, SRV and Kirk. Jake definitely had the biggest impact on my own playing (just for fun) and composing.

Invariably, Jake E Lee is awesome, & certainly did his thing live with Ozzy. & Yet Jake had a impossibly tall order to fill with Randy’s shoes as a songwriter, after Randy put the all time high water mark up at the pinnacle peak of Heavy Metal, it’s inarguably a one sided affair. In comparison, Jake on his 2 albums with Ozzy really put up only one single particularly notable Ozzy hit, with his song Bark at the Moon & then played on Phil Soussan’s hit Ozzy song Shot in the Dark, & the rest are all duds. While damn near every single song Randy wrote on his 2 albums with Ozzy went far beyond particularly notable, while music is subjective, be for real, undeniably even Randy’s deeper cuts & B sides like Steal Away the Night & Tonight tower high over Bark at the Moon. Without even mentioning the clearly huge Radio staple-Sport Stadium hype Randy Rhoads mega hit songs that moved far beyond the culture of Heavy Metal, with Crazy Train & Over the Mountian. Unequivocally, Jake E Lee never wrote anything anywhere even close to the level of the songs Mr. Crowley, Revelation Mother Earth, Goodbye to Romance, Diary of a Madman or S.A.T.O…🎸

[@DaveClark-ib6sp]

Who was bigger and better than OZZY? That was one darn good gig. OZZY filled enormo-domes across the planet for close to 50 years. Nobody is too good for that. A gig in Toronto, wow, that's a long way away from Montréal...Montréal baby 🤘

[@haliaeetus8221]

@@DaveClark-ib6sp Lol. John was a former frontman but at that point just a very depressed addict with no future until he and Bob (Daisley) decided to try to form a band! Bob and John had many musicians they tried out to play with before they went with Randy because it clicked between songwriter&bassist Bob and Randy. A bit later Bob got the drummer,singer&pianist Lee into the band which they called The Blizzard of Ozz. The band, primarily Bob and Randy wrote the songs, but also Lee and John. The Arden family management just schemed the band to be printed as a solo artist on the album covers even though they were already touring as The Blizzard of Ozz band. The band, but primarily Bob&Randy made the music outstanding, which is why John got a career as a band frontman back, except for his and the management's deception which made him a "solo artist" with a backing band, which was total bullcrap. Then Randy died and so it was back to square one on how to write and play as good music. There were good players out there, but also writing, that's a necessary component. Enter Jake. He and Bob wrote the next 2 albums which, if people would be honest, were the first albums agreeably ment to be under a solo project brand moniker. Working with Bob, Jake made many homeruns delivering exceptionally outstanding and iconic music for history to remember. And just like the BOO band he got screwed, but even worse by the Osbourne-Arden company. He forgave them. But most of all, he was and is a good person, so yes, for sure, he was too good, better and a bigger man than John in more ways than a dozen. Ps. The original commenter wrote "too talented" but you read something else, but that's ok cause as proven those praising claims you ascribed to the OC comment would also apply to J.E.L.

[@michaelwalker8145]

So??? What about RANDY RHODES OR ZAKK WYLDE? EITHER OF WHICH COULD GIVE JAKE MORE COMPETITION THAN HE COULD HANDLE...OZZY HAS ALWAYS HAD A PRODIGY ON GUITAR IN HIS BAND...

[@michaelwalker8145]

What happened to him...BADLANDS DIDNT MAKE IT TOO FAR...THEN WHAT...

[@Flippinginthecarolinas]

This is why I say jake e Lee had way better guitar than Randy Rhodes. Even though Rhodes was probably a better allaround player maybe. JAKE E LEE NEVER GOT HIS PROPS. HELL MOST OF THE SONGS ON ULTIMATE SIN WAS HIS AND OZZYBDIDNT EVEN GIVE CREDITS TO HIM

[@rjc7289]

I like how he reverse-slanted the bridge pickup on his Charvel Strats to give his sound a thickness and bite it otherwise wouldn't have.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Interesting, thank you , I Didn't know that, appreciate it, thank you for viewing, my 100th video is next.

[@42CAINE]

I also reverse the bridge pickup angle on Fender style Telecasters away from the treble side of the bridge which gives the effect of playing the guitar in an upside down orientation as if Paul McCartney or Jimi Hendrix often played the right handed instruments left-handed

[@simonc1uk]

I was just a kid on the Badlands last UK tour, but I was at the Newcastle Riverside and met the whole band. They were surprisingly chill, no obvious tension. I was aware of the fall out and the kerrang story, but they invited us all into the venue to hangout. I was at the front for the show directly in front of Jake and his electric fan, blowing cool air into his hair! The band were fucking amazing. The energy and power was, to date, unsurpassed!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Sounds like a great day, I take it he was Melting like a snow cone in Phoenix Lol

[@wincup]

Ozzy had to treat him right. I really did not understand why he was kicked out from Ozzy after releasing such a masterpiece (Bark at the moon)!

[@buzzedalldrink9131]

the answer is NO Bob Daisley get the credit for finishing his contributions while in Ozzys band

[@MAG-li5jo]

Jake and George Lynch were the KINGS of the 80's. Yngwie was right there too.

[@zoranpavlovic9540]

Idk, I play guitar as a hobby and Idk why but Jake E Lee is one of my main influences, freakin' love his playing style but freakin' loooove it! 🤘🔥

[@shawnkilmer3079]

Jake E. (Lee)W. Thirteen years of musicianship before climbing the stage with Ozzy Osbourne. And, reaching near epitome; to going one-step further and reaching[1980's] 1/5 Guitar-God status. Yet, still climbing. Horns out Mr. Williams. Horns out!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

He has a new LP out with Red Dragon Cartel I believe .

[@eric_in_florida]

The look, the sound, the chops, the flash. Hell yes he had it all. (still does)

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Very Cool guy that's for sure.

[@s1wheel4]

Jake made me want to play guitar. When I saw him with Ozzy on MTV in like 86. His fingers were so fast the video tape could barely keep up with him.

[@KnightOwl-kn6gm]

I have always said that Jake E Lee's is probably the most underrated guitar player of all time.

[@russellpinkie9775]

Absolute genius 👌, his riffs and chord phrasing are up there with the best rock guitar players ever, he's in my top 10 guitarist of all time👌

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Very hard to play those Stretchy parts he plays, a nice guy also that add more points in my opinion

[@JasonSimpson-ue7cl]

Jake Lee was the best guitarist and my favorite riff and song arrangement will always be bark at the moon

[@SuperEgo19]

As the years pass, Jake’s unique genius becomes more apparent.

[@fabadder1]

Also a great pianist, Jake can move seamlessly between guitar styles and his creativity is off the charts.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I didn't know that, interesting, Shawn Lane was that way a world class guitarist but a fantastic Piano player as well, both were nice guys.

[@haliaeetus8221]

I didn't know that either. So yet another thing he could match with Eddie VH =) Reportedly he played VH covers as good as EVH

[@shawnstarks1743]

The most unorthodox guitarist Ozzy ever had. Meaning very difficult to copy.

[@josephgonzales9169]

He is my top three greatest of all time Guitarist. 1. Randy Rhoades 2. Eddie Van Halen 3. Jake E. Lee 4. Vivian Campbell

[@Scottocaster6668]

Jake is still in my top 5 list after all these years. Theres not one bad thing said about him and hes loved by everyone. Great video on him with no interruptions.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Your right a Nice guy I hear tell.

[@himadioah]

Due to respect to RANDY RHOADS i will say after Randy is Jake E.Lee. He is huge

[@garyz2043]

I only know bark at the moon. Outstanding guitar work. What was Sharron thinking?

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Lol yeah Sharon Unfortunately she became her Father, He was that way with his bands, she is a lot like Wendy Ronnie James Dio's Wife also. Check out my VIVIAN Video Its the same kind of thinking.

[@greyfoxzero]

By far the most underrated and forgotten. Dude was really on another level. I didn't "discover" him until a few years ago because nobody ever talked about him. His work on those Ozzy albums only reaffirms this the more you break it down.

[@troywilliams6849]

Jake is my favorite 18:49

[@Bricklinsv1970]

I would say Alex Skolnick is the worlds best Rock Guitarist.

[@jakelee7639]

Loved him since ‘83….the cool chirp sound he gets with some picked notes , his wide vibrato, many tricks and techniques, and of course songwriting and great stage moves…..one of the best

[@theguitartemplepriest]

You are not alone Sir, he is a very loved guitarist, I guess he is a pretty good guy also I understand, But yes indeed he has a HUGE Following, thank you ever so kindly for viewing.

[@simonbarsinister8854]

Absolutely not. There is Michael Schenker. "Nuff said.

[@dirkm1920]

To me its not a question of good and bad. Jake has the most enjoyable style and attitude. His tone choice and taste is above most of all other guitarist out there. I simply dont get bored listening to him.❤

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I can agree with that, keeps your attention and that makes for a great entertainer, he is a nice guy also. Thank you for viewing

[@slipperyjohnson7016]

Jake is one of my faves. Very underrated. I'll take him over Zakk any day! He made some of Ozzy's best music.

[@MrToband]

When did he play for DIO?, If he did I guess I missed that, but I definitely want to hear it.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Yes indeed, I myself was shocked to find that, it was a very short period , just like Garry Moore played with SKID ROW I thought well that can't be lol but it was a band in Ireland once upon a time.

[@dx.feelgood5825]

It was about six weeks. Jake actually worked on Holy Diver, but he says he basically just played what Ronnie had in his head so he could figure it out lol

[@theguitartemplepriest]

@@dx.feelgood5825 Interesting, good to know, I love Holly Diver .

[@mr.timebombman2230]

People saying he was underrated, but everyone in the rock/ metal scene have always praised his playing over the years. I think underrated gets thrown around entirely too much now.

[@jamesmccormick875]

Jake E Lee is unbelievable. Not only his solos,they were always perfect for the song but his use of unique chords, inverted chords, triads etc, showed his knowledge of the instrument. His song writing is top notch and his left hand technique is almost impossible to replicate. He is one of the best to ever do it. He has been and always will be one of my top 5 guitarist of all time. Randy, Jake, Zakk, Slash and John Sykes are my top 5.

[@2216sammy]

If that's your top 5 they aren't very good.

[@Mike-eq4ky]

Interesting list! Personally, I would not include Slash and I actually need to listen to John Sykes, but I'm going to add Vai, Satch, Yngwie, Gilbert, and Friedman. And of course we can't forget Eddie... Just for ONE day I'd like to be able to play like any of them... What a day that would be!

[@sparkomatic100]

Jake E Lee was the best in my opinion.... many reasons why, but... main point of interest here is... He filled the ICONIC Randy Rhodes shoes after his passing... that was NO SMALL FEAT...

[@theguitartemplepriest]

I agree with that statement, no doubt Intimidating.

[@ravenhawk8758]

Jake is one of the best that I have ever heard, and he has only gotten better.

[@itzfast]

No, he is not. It’s silly to even ask that when you consider the Van Halen, Jimmy Page and Randy Rhoads. I do like Jake E. Lee very though.

[@FrankoReynolds]

Simple answer no

Your answer is subjective.

[@thomasblackwood3874]

MUCH better than Zakk! Randy was very good, but he (Jake) was a better showman and really a better player all around!

Jake always and still is in my top 3 guitar players of all time. Ever since I heard centre of eternity on bark at the moon. I still have that cassette from the eighties.

[@theguitartemplepriest]

And a good guy to boot

[@shaunclifton5281]

So Glad you mentioned Centre of Eternity ! Killer Killer song

[@captbss]

His playing was not his downfall, but his inability as a consistent songwriter which ended his gig with Ozzy. There are many guitarist who played better but could not write a song either. Iommi is not the greatest player but he could write riff after riff.

[@gloriahancock8358]

Jake E Lee is and always will be one of the best imo I love it when he uses the side of his thumb to get those huge stretches no one else had ever done before just brilliant if you ask me!!!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

Those stretches are remarkable to be honest.

Best guitarist ozzy ever had better than randy even

[@glenkepic3208]

Wow!!! I liked Jake. Forgot clean about Badlands (i know, i need a life...) Dreams In The Dark kicked a$$!! Can't recall if it was VH or Ozzy i took my 15 year old nephew to see first, but he was nearly puking with excitement for Ozzy's Ultimate Sin gig when the line outside started moving, Cow Palace again (I must have gone there 10 times or more). He was a fan. Jake was great. They nailed everything. Nephew went semi pro on guitar,,,,,my fault, all my fault ;)

[@SahiraSound]

I always respected Jake for stepping into the impossible situation. Randy Rhodes had been deified and for a young unknown guitarist to step into that position and do what he did was remarkable. Not only did he feel the position but he made his mark with his own unique sound and aesthetic. As far as what happened with Ozzy. It's true Jake never made a personal connection with Ozzy but who can blame him, Ozzy was so trashed on drugs and alcohol he wasn't capable of sustaining a personal relationship and not worth knowing personally. As far as what happened contractually. Yes Jake signed the contract for a wage. But Sharon took it upon herself to change the songwriting credits and make sure that the band members did not get the songwriting royalties that they should have received. She's always had a nasty reputation for such behavior. Be that as it may shake manage to roll on and do two albums as Badlands, and then the world turned so he went into retirement. But now he's come out of retirement and Red Dragon Cartel ably demonstrates that Jake still has something to say and I for one am glad that he's here to say it. 43 years and going strong. Still one of my all-time favorites!

[@theguitartemplepriest]

That certainly had to be frightening for Jake and Brad Gillis for that matter, So sad Randy Rhoads died like that.

[@marcusharrison6617]

Jake probably felt like punching Ozzy for pulling his hair like he did in the beginning of this clip .I kno Randy absolutely "Hated" when he did that and by the time they were on the Diary tour you didn't see that hardly cause Randy always kept his eyes on Ozzy backing away every time Ozzy got close to him with his hands out lol guarantee Jake and every other guitarist couldn't stand that Lol

The entire world knows it and all the 80's guys knew it also . Edward was King

[@dezertfox3681]

I have to say that, honestly, Ozzy was the worst part of all of "his" songs. I never liked his awful voice, or the way the looked like a stumpy hunched up old mole even in the 80s. Pacing up and down the stage like an uncoordinated Joetato Biden on speed. I only ever listened for the music, and all of the music is heavily connected to each guitarist. It's patently obvious that Ozzy was nothing more than a personality that resonated with people, for all the wrong reasons, a platform for drawing attention. Without the talent of Randy, Jake, and Zakk, there'd have never been a solo career. Special mention must be given to the lyricists who had to create something from the rediculous titles Ozzy would spew out.
