This line up is far beyond amazing, the energie is epic. This whole concert is fantastic and it stands like a house. Zakk is the the reason i started playing guitar when i heard Miracle man in 1989. Just listen to everything he had a contribute in and you know he belongs to the greatest of all time. Thanks to Ozzy he brought us so many great players🙏🏽
I tried out for a cover band and had to learn this song. I decided I obviously wanted to play the way Jake did so that it sounded right…boy what an athletic feat that was. Jake is so underrated. He’s a living guitar god
Had this concert on DVD as a kid. Watched it SO many times in nose formative years. Jake E Lees solo on this is one of the best solos under the Ozzy name
Michael, I am somewhat new to your channel and loving the content. That last large scale (stadium size) show I went to was Ozzfest 08'. The only Ozzfest headlined by a band other than Ozzy himself, Metallica. Ozzy took the stage before Metallica closed out the show. It was incredible. I started look through your content before I realized we are of the same generation of music. I saw that you loved Van Halen and Pantera, now Ozzy, much later, as I started with reactions you had done to Chris Stapleton, Tori Amos, Prince, among many others. (I'm also a huge Prince fan, to the annoyance of my a lot of my friends. I don't care. They can be wrong.) So needless to say, as a guitarist and fan of these artists, you keep reeling me in to watch with you, learn some riffs, and your pure joy in some of these videos, is infectious. Keep that up! Now, comes my disappointment. I told myself, just don't write it. Who cares? Walk away. Yet, here I am typing. I'll just ask a question instead. Did I miss it, or did you not even mention the great Jake E. Lee, writer and forgotten guitarist, that was with Ozzy from 1983 - 1987, and created so much of this music on "Bark at the Moon" and 'The Ultimate Sin' albums? He was/is an incredible player! Everyone mentions Randy & Zakk, but Jake held the mantle through most of Ozzy's success throughout the 80's. That's all. #JakeELeeFanBoy 😂 Side note: I feel like there were 2 of the greatest players of their generations who never get the credit deserved. Jake E. Lee & Warren DeMartini.
With Zak it's always hair flying every direction. Don't think I saw this guy's face in a live playing situation until a few years after I knew who he was 🤣
Jake E. Lee is still a fenomenal guitar player. He was shot not that long ago while out walking his dog, by the way. Luckily both he and the dog survived. I think my favorite Ozzy/Lee-song would have to be "Killer Of Giants" because I really enjoy playing the intro on my acoustic. :)
my favorite Ozzy lineup as well. Absolutely huge and powerful. All 3 players are over the top huge in sound. Also, the vibe is off the charts cool. Zakk is metal cliche to the extreme (in a cool way). Rob is mellow so cal in dress. And whatever Mike has going on. Power and ability over image
Everyone has opinions, and you're certainly allowed to have yours. There's no right or wrong to preferences, but for me, Zakk out front and Castillo slapping the drums like they owed him money is THE golden era of solo Ozzy. I've got nothing but love for Randy, Jake, Phil, Tommy, Puffy, Lee, Inez, etc etc. All tremendous powerhouse players who crush what they do, but that lineup around the Moscow Music Peace Festival and the release of No Rest was where it was at for me. Zakk, Castillo, and Geezer on bass? Come on... we're all lucky that a hole wasn't ripped in the fabric of space-time.
@@sekimotorm I've been very blessed, to see the greats. That Ozzy show, was the month after my first concert, Van Halen with Eddie and David. Helluva start!!
Ozzy has had some GREAT guitar players .. and yeah, perhaps some were better than Zakk, but in my view Zakk was the best guitarist Ozzy ever had in his band, not necessarily being the best guitar player, but the best for his band. Zakk's style just fit so perfectly with Ozzy's songs. Zakk's style, Zakk's tone, was just such a great fit. Zakk is definitely my favorite Ozzy guitarist, hands down.
Correct me if I'm wrong , Jake E. Lee had to tune his guitar weird to accommodate Ozzy's voice tl make it easier for him.. I believe he ti the " A " string up to a B and the " D " up to a E.. I might have the " D " string wrong , but , I'm 95% sure the guitar itself was tuned funky to accommodate Ozzy..
Probably my favorite Ozzy song, super fun to play! Especially the chorus Not sure if you saw, but Matteo Mancuso played a song with Joscho Stephan if you ever wanna check that out, killer stuff th-cam.com/video/rIIXv0jDhY4/w-d-xo.html
The best version was the blizzard of Oz line up lee kerslake Bob daisley and randy rhoads. But yes the Jake e Lee and zakk lineups are great but zakk messes bark up often there's dissonance and resolutions that happen zakk doesn't do
I have to admit that I was always a huge fan of Ozzy, both in Black Sabbath and solo. I've seen him live 5 times and I've never went to see any other artist/band more than once. I bought every Sabbath album and all of Ozzy's up to (and including) No Rest for the Wicked. That was the last one I got because... *Unpopular opinion* I really do not like Zakk's playing style. There, I said it. I'm sorry if you're a big fan. I admit that he is an amazing guitar player. He can play anything and is the only one could sub for Dimebag. I just don't care for his style. In particular, I cringe every time he does one of those low pinch harmonics. Which, unfortunately, is about every 10 seconds. I wanted to watch this video, and give it a chance, I love the song and I love Jake E. Lee (I went to see Badlands live and they were great!). But I watched about 7 second and he's already doing his one trick pony harmonics. I just... I can't. I respect him as a player, I just can't listen to him. If he can give up drinking, he should be able to get through a song without doing this 20 times. Edit: I will say, Ozzy looks good in this. Singing well, putting on a good show. Good energy. When I saw him on the Bark at the Moon tour, he looked really bad. He looked like he could drop dead any day. Second Edit: I also have a problem with Rob Trujillo playing in this band. Just like with Metallica, his talents are wasted. He's so much better than this. And, I have always heard, when you're playing with Ozzy, you only have very limited space on stage. Basically, a little box you have to stand in. It sucks to see one of the greatest bassist ever being so limited in what he's allowed to do.
Zakk’s solo is hot garbage here compared to Jake’s. You really should check out the 1984 SLC show or any of the live stuff from the Jake era to hear this song and others done right.

Jake was my favorite Ozzy git fiddle player! Love Zak also!
Mike Bordin and Rob Trujillo - What an absolute monster rhythm section right there!
Man this concert was so epic, Zakk is such an animal!
Live at budakan was my first CD!!!! Love this.
I got to see Ozzy and Zakk perform this song during a total solar eclipse. 2 o'clock on a Monday afternoon , pitch black and we are fucking jamming.

it's not Jake

Jake E. Lee & Warren DeMartini.
Totally agree with the two guitar players that never get enough credit
I was at that ‘08 Ozzfest as well. They just had the one show in Frisco, TX, right. Epic show!
Let's not forget to thank Jake E Lee for this Awesome song, progression and riff.
I was today years old when I finally understood what Phrygian was when you explained it. lol

Yay, a song i actually know. Thanks for all you do for the guitar community. 🤘
Great analysis (yet again), Michael! Thank you! Learned a lot. 🫶

Amen!
Imagine going from Mike Bordin.....to Lars. That must be tough
Never did I expect you would have seen Ozzy the most! If I had to guess I would have said Umphrey’s.
I was fortunate enough to see Ozzy with Randy Rhoads. IMO, he is the best of the guitar players Ozzy employed.
I’m extremely jealous.
@@sekimotorm I've been very blessed, to see the greats. That Ozzy show, was the month after my first concert, Van Halen with Eddie and David. Helluva start!!
@@cowslinger64 two of the best guitar players ever, back-to-back! Amazing. RIP to both.
@@sekimotorm Definitely RIP. Another I got to see, SRV. I did say I was blessed, lol. Nice to chat with someone that loves great guitar work.
Ozzy has had some GREAT guitar players .. and yeah, perhaps some were better than Zakk, but in my view Zakk was the best guitarist Ozzy ever had in his band, not necessarily being the best guitar player, but the best for his band. Zakk's style just fit so perfectly with Ozzy's songs. Zakk's style, Zakk's tone, was just such a great fit. Zakk is definitely my favorite Ozzy guitarist, hands down.
Michael that song was written by Jake e Lee , not Randy Rhodes , it’s bad enough ozzy didn’t give him credit , c’mon man get your shit right !!!
I really wish you did the Jake E Lee live version. I'll forgive you. Ha! As always, great video.
yeah man that Salt Lake City 1984 version is legendary, Crazy Train too from same concert
I came here to say that! Zach is a helluva player but Jake is the man. I mean, he wrote the guitar parts for crying out loud!
I wish zach would dial down the pinched harmonics tbh.
@@theonlyredspecial Agreed. I know it’s his signature, but to me he overuses the pinch harmonics with vibrato.
Correct me if I'm wrong , Jake E. Lee had to tune his guitar weird to accommodate Ozzy's voice tl make it easier for him.. I believe he ti the " A " string up to a B and the " D " up to a E..

That PRS really that good? That comfortable and playable?
The sound was massive. Jake E Lee has a play through of this because everyone played it wrong….including me.
Jake E Lee is the best❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ him Zac is great too thanks
This was a great band for Ozzy, last time I seen Ozzy they had swapped Robert for Jason Newstead killer show as well
The best version was the blizzard of Oz line up lee kerslake Bob daisley and randy rhoads. But yes the Jake e Lee and zakk lineups are great but zakk messes bark up often there's dissonance and resolutions that happen zakk doesn't do
Watch Jake e Lee teach it the he does it on the record
Zakk is no Randy and no Jake. Zakk is Zakk. Did Jake played exactly like Randy? All three are amazing, all three different styles.
Is he using a phaser or chorus for effect?
You're playing Fred Bear lol
th-cam.com/video/2akLS8kmRjU/w-d-xo.html This is a great way to see the different sides of musicians. Mike! You Rock Sir!
I love Zakk, but JEL was the man. Absolutely did not get the recognition he deserved back in the day, imho.
I have to admit that I was always a huge fan of Ozzy, both in Black Sabbath and solo. I've seen him live 5 times and I've never went to see any other artist/band more than once.

th-cam.com/video/LPizQ2xlTlE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EmqjF1LKtYZDKFTO I was here Michael…. 83 US FESTIVAL.
650,000 PEOPLE.
I prefer Jake E. Lee, but Zakk is great as well.
Zakk’s solo is hot garbage here compared to Jake’s. You really should check out the 1984 SLC show or any of the live stuff from the Jake era to hear this song and others done right.
Jake smoked Zack, in my opinion, of course 😊
...Drop pedal..
First !
