You guys pumped or as deflated as Tom Brady's balls?

I wonder if they even approached Bob and Lee? Nofi, I can't speak for everyone, but being a grown man that enjoys playing rock music keeps me perpetually stuck at 14 in some ways. Not necessarily a bad thing.

The original version I loved... deeply regretted not seeing the tour... went to a 21st party instead...

The Osbourne family have a picture of him in a (what to me appeared to be) place of honour at their home in Buckinghamshire...

... mind you Nofi... we need to resurrect the blues thread... ;)

I'm good with this one.

me too, didn't make it past the solo, and I'm not normally averse to Morello's unique take on how a guitar is played

Don't forget that you are watching a mere bubble in time, Nofi. Had Rhoads lived on, I'm sure he would have moved on (he was in the process of doing so even then) and would probably be today on something akin to the Windham Hill label strumming a Taylor. While  I saw him live and was less than overawed at the time, he had more in him than the metal guitar hero merchant.

  For me Daisley=Crazy Train his tone and execution have not been equaled. You can even hear the bass lines dumbed down here. No offense to Rudy it is always difficult to fill someone shoes. While the entire time the focus is on Ozzy and Randy, you can get away with murder behind them. When Trugillio's (I know I spelled it wrong) mix of CT comes on I turn it of. As a bass  player this so totally pisses me off.

Sarzo is a good player himself, but his dramatic stage antics belie the fact that he actually has a laid back groove that has none of the forward drive Daisley's bass style has. Plus Daisley has that pick attack. Daisley is very accentuated in the way he plays, you hear every note.

Just listen here, Daisley pre-Ozzy:

Sarzo playing the same song:

Some people might actually prefer Sarzo's more massive and modern sound, but there is no denying that the notes are more focussed with Daisley.

Bob's the best. There should be a statue of him in his home town like Phil Lynott has even though he's still alive.

Bob's an Aussie. They don't really have towns there. It would be somwhere out in the middle of nowhere - close to a rock and a bunch of lizards.  :mrgreen:

I´d vote for Bob too.

Actually, I´ve seen a living statue - in the main shopping street in some big town. It looked like a statue, but at noon
it looked at it´s watch and walked away, maybe it was having a lunch break or something.

Maybe Bob could have one of those?
