Ozzy as a solo artist was a revelation. By his own admission he really didn’t expect anyone to give a fuck about him after he left Sabbath. There is a very touching story on one of his video’s where he is playing his first gig without Sabbath and hears that people are queued up down the street. Ozzy always managed to hire the best guitarists, Randy Rhoads was such a talent that it was almost impossible for Jake E. Lee to take his place, credit to Jake, he pulled it off. Then after Jake we had the pleasure of the Zakk Wylde years. I have nothing but respect for Ozzy and what he has achieved, he has made some of the best rock and roll in the last 40 years.
