RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 My daughter is in Tahoe with her boyfriend so I'm home alone tonight having my OZZY OSBOURNE ROCK FEST!The benefits of being single and alone on a weeknight!!! Blasting the double disc version of "Diary Of A Madman" tonight! The live disc is EPIC! (pun intended) CBS right? Was JET RECORDS! Anyway enough useless rock industry knowledge. After hearing the live disc there is no doubt in my mind that Randy Rhoads blew Tony Iommi away on the old Black Sabbath Cannon! Do you agree or disagree? I'm "So Tired" of Polls! LOL! So this is just a thread. Love, JAKE E LEE (I think Jake is better than Tony) Yet duh.... I know Iommi is a fukkingn LEGEND. I love him too.

treeduck Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Earl why diss on Tony Iommi? Both are good, it doesn't always have to be either or. Iommi rules and so does Randy. I don't feel the need to choose one over the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Earl why diss on Tony Iommi? Both are good, it doesn't always have to be either or. Iommi rules and so does Randy. I don't feel the need to choose one over the other. That's not really a rip buddy! I know. Different generations of Guitar Greatness. Perhaps being a younger heavy metalist I prefer the flash of Randy Rhoads! I wouldn't say I would dis Tony. Perhaps "Blow away" is harsh. But at the end of the day I write these things to stir the pot and rock the f***ing boat of METAL. Apples to oranges is such a cliche on here. The pioneer vs the red hot kid. Randy's guitar speaks to my soul. Iommi is a riff shredding master of Legend. Randy moves me Pat. It's my personal taste that ignites my eternal soul. Tony doesn't do it for me that way.

Rod in Toronto Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Randy was great and all, but who's still around playing, eh? (drops mike) Sorry, this was the worst joke I ever did in TRF... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Randy HATED doing the Iron Man/Children of the Grave and Paranoid show closer. He wasn't a Sabbath fan at all. I love Sabbath, but I think Blizzard and Diary are the best albums Ozzy appeared on in his career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Two totally different guitarists coming from such different places. Tony basically invented the genre he played accidentally while randy was excellent but apparently didn't care for the genre at all and had plans to leave metal behind when he died. Love them both though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
