As far as i'm concerned, Blizzard Of Ozz > Wyldes entire discography.

Randy had a more varied playing style than Zakk, he wasn't 32nd notes all the time. I say Randy. What's funny is that Zakk is all RIP Dimebag, RIP Randy. But that's the only way he gets attention, he's like everyother metal guitarist, all speed.

Maybe you havnt listened to Pride And Glory, or Hangover Music vol.6. They are slower, lighter albums, still great guitar playing.

I agree that Zakk does depend on speed, to a certain extent, but hey, if i had that talent, id play as fast as i could too. lol

I think it is pure speculation....Randy died at a young age....Zakk has about 30 years of experience over Randy....

Both great players that have done a great job with ozzy... very different sound... Randy with a sofisticated phrasing mixing scales over modulations creating unique melodies, and Zakk with that heavy hand playing pentatonic licks like a master... I think his first two albums with ozzy plus "Pride & Glory" and "Book of Shadows" are his best works!!!

I'd say Randy because Wylde relies way too heavily on pinch harmonics and that gets obnoxious. Don't do pinch harmonics kids.

Randy all the way. Zach is great (but ya, relies way too heavily on gimmicks) but there was only one Randy.
