[@sweetwater]

Which Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell, or Tony Iommi riffs do you think deserve more love? Sound off in the comments, and don’t forget to stop by Sweetwater for all your guitar needs 👉 sweetwater.sjv.io/Guitars

[@EonSlumber]

Dime is the everyone’s guitar hero.

[@isaac.m.martin]

Supernaut, Hole in the Sky, Snowblind

[@jimmcdougall9973]

Ozzy and Randy’s “Flying High Again” remains one of my favourite riffs. Tony Iommi’s “Voodoo” riff is super.

[@Mechashiva76]

Rhoads: not a solo, but the nuclear riff before the solo in Diary of a Madman. it's just the heaviest riff ever, the greatest tone ever, and he only plays it 3 times. I have to keep rewinding it :D

[@zsrmx1]

Dime's outro on Planet Caravan always stuns me because of the bluesy feel. Just different in a good way.

[@KingBeevr]

I love how Zakk doesn't actually answer any questions, ever.

[@codyblackwell9129]

He pretty much doesn’t 😅

[@mindofmatter071]

And he does it how he wants it...dnt ask questions and I won't tell you No lies!😂

[@rimmysinclair]

"What's your favourite Randy solo?" "Well I love playing with all the guys" 🤣

I've always loved how silly Zakk is. He's got so much respect for those who came before as well.

[@austinfailz]

Zakk is slimming down to his 80s/early 90s period.

[@jb7720]

Since he quit drinking, and he's gotten so goofy too lol makes me wonder if he's on edibles lol

Always Love to see a good Zakk interview. He's always upbeat and jovial. He also laughs at his self-deprecation because he knows that none of us get out alive and he's enjoying the ride as best he can. God bless him.

[@iBinary]

Love Zakk's playing, I LOVE how he came up with his own style during the era of Eddie Van Halen and you can tell him apart from one million other guitarists.

Anytime Nick and Zakk get together it’s always awesome.

Zakk makes a good point @ 9:20 I have been an Anthrax fan since the late '80s and Charlie always sounds like Charlie.

[@Cfolger]

Zakk is so spot on!

[@ricdale7813]

Best Rhoads solo. 2 of them. One is the Outro for Tonite and the other is the unpublished longer Live Solo on the DOAM tour that is a 3 minute musical with full band minus vocals. Its a Dirty shame after all this time Ozzy Has Not released the many Masters of Live recordings with RR. The DOAM tour was specifically recorded each night too tape. Tribute while a Great look into Blizzards live sound Diary was even better.

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

There being live material suitable for release is a myth.

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

@@ChrisShortyAllen not true, it is not a myth, listen to the countless bootlegs. They also advertised the Southampton show as part of the 30 year anniversary boxset but then were dicks to Bob because he would not sell them the holy grail tapes. There are soundboard recordings perfectly suitable for release Tommy Aldridge has confirmed this .

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

you mean the band jam? The Osbournes have given a middle finger to fans for years they only care about Ozzy's legacy. DOAM would have been a better tour to use for Tribute, which got edited down, the original show is much better much better guitar solo.

[@dantana8570]

Isn't there a special name for that Opus that he plays with the band is there a specific name for that song

Zakk got crazier with sobriety lol. Usually it’s the other way around

lol yeah after watching his reels and stuff that was the conclusion I came too ....and maybe edibles or oil in his coffee 😂 The comedian Ian Findance is the same way everyone thinks he lit 24/7 but he's been sober for a few years now .

[@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle]

every Randy Rhoads solo could be mentioned. Shame they will only do two Jake songs...not sure Why Ozzy is not hugely fond of that ERA, maybe the disgraceful act of stealing credit for the songs and lyrics on BATM weight on him.

[@hotelalphawhiskeykilogrunt7925]

If anyone ever tries to hurt Zakks feelings good luck lmao 😂 the man beats the questions critics by saying it before they can ask it. And he does laugh and have fun he’s a comedian we all know that but in seriousness Zakk is one of the best to ever do it. I know they’s this group online that love to hate on Zakk for his style but here’s the deal it’s purposely done. Like pantera Zakk said he won’t do dimes stuff like dime he don’t play others style out of respect he sticks to his style and I know some don’t enjoy it I personally love it but again the thing is if you dig you can find old footage of Zakk when he was open to play anything someone ask him and he can play any style he truly is one of the most talented guitarist ever. And I will forever say that. Zakk Fn Wylde is the man 🤘🏼🤘🏼
