thats just not true man. jakes tone was awesome on the ultimate sin. really big and heavy. i thought diary was rushed and just generic for the most part. some of the songs sounded like they'd actually just reworked a few blizzard songs. over the mountain kicks ass tho.
Guess that is why Ozzy said that The Ultimate Sin was an embarrassment. Besides the only thing that changed was someone told Jake he sounded like crap so he tuned down for the US album. Still sounds like Jake though.
Back on topic...the RR signature amp sounds awesome and is a tribute to Randy and his family.
Depends what tone we're talking about- If we're talking about the studio album tones I am in complete agreement---Mosquito in a box is a perfect descriptor. Listen to the start of "I Don't Know" and there you have it.
However, his live tone, as evidenced on Tribute, is gigantic. His lows are like thunder & the highs absolutely scream. His rhythm on that album is just gargantuan & just fills the room.
Or maybe I'm just a fanboy. Tribute changed my life. I am not unbiased here.
i'd rather hear my gramma getting cornholed than listen to zakk play randy's solos. imo, he butchers randy's material.
sully
Whereas Jake totally nailed them, in my opinion. I remember seeing the "Speak of the Devil" tour in '83 , we're expecting to see Brad Gillis (his picture was in the program we'd just purchased), and when the band comes out, we're like "Who the hell is this guy?" But he was nailing it. I think Jake is highly underrated. There's some great stuff on "Bark at the Moon". He had some big shoes to fill, and he stepped in and did admirably.
I do think "The Ultimate Sin" was kinda "Ozzy goes glam" and some of the songs were filler, but Jake is a smokin' guitar player in my book.
I don't get it, I always hated Randy's tone. Moster player but his tone's not so great.
Oh well, the RR fans will snap them up pretty quickly.
Peace
For the guys who dislike Randy's tone are you talking about his recordings or live, Max Norman tried getting a strange sound on the records while did great acoustically with guitars.
Randy got the Marshalls just before the first tour, while yet recorded both records with other heads in England.
He used a combination (not just ONE head) to get this tone., back in those days you did not have the great JCM800 series as of yet so the high gain was a complicated issue.
i'm not denying doug hasn't got great tone, but he's not exactly appropriate, unless he's now claiming he's a huge randy fan. maybe some one like zakk would have ben better to play randy stuff?
I think Doug is way more appropriate then zakk. Zakk is a berserk on guitar, that works (IMO!), on the black label stuff really good, but I don't like him playing the old Ozzy Stuff, he is messing it up. Dougs way of playing is way closer to Randys then Zakks, I think he fits in there with the amp really good. Dougs articulation and his playing is is just way more technical and more precise then Zakks.
what does doug aldrich have to do with randy rhoads? i thought some one like zakk might be more appropriate as the guy who plays randys stuff all the time with ozzy and having been a big rhoads fan anyway
Since you sh*t all over my original post on this - Apology accepted Samurai

Yo know what i think, Dougy has blond hair., thats all... period.
When RR died Ozzy had the chance to hire Adrian V from White Snake, but he blew it cause Sharon did not want to pay them.
And putting Zak there when he already asked Marshall to make him identicle amps like Randy but the Rhoads family refused would be a insult now, Zak has really good amps, simply a re issue of a JCM 800 100 watt head. nothing original or new about it but the price.
