There is a video of Jake showing people note for note how to play every bit of the song. Very cool because he shows where people short hand it or just flat out play it wrong.
I tried out for a cover band and had to learn this song. I decided I obviously wanted to play the way Jake did so that it sounded right…boy what an athletic feat that was. Jake is so underrated. He’s a living guitar god
Jake E Lee doesnt get the love he deserves, everyone things Randy and Zak when they think Ozzy guitarist, (rightfully so) But Jake was a monster, this song and the whole album is some of the best Ozzy stuff!
As a young kid, my aunt's husband got that LP. I recorded that to cassette. Like we all did. Bark at the moon is Ozzy's anthem and Jake E. Lee was the best guitarist that time. I think still in top3.
Jake E. Lee is still a fenomenal guitar player. He was shot not that long ago while out walking his dog, by the way. Luckily both he and the dog survived. I think my favorite Ozzy/Lee-song would have to be "Killer Of Giants" because I really enjoy playing the intro on my acoustic. :)
This line up is far beyond amazing, the energie is epic. This whole concert is fantastic and it stands like a house. Zakk is the the reason i started playing guitar when i heard Miracle man in 1989. Just listen to everything he had a contribute in and you know he belongs to the greatest of all time. Thanks to Ozzy he brought us so many great players🙏🏽
Michael, I am somewhat new to your channel and loving the content. That last large scale (stadium size) show I went to was Ozzfest 08'. The only Ozzfest headlined by a band other than Ozzy himself, Metallica. Ozzy took the stage before Metallica closed out the show. It was incredible. I started look through your content before I realized we are of the same generation of music. I saw that you loved Van Halen and Pantera, now Ozzy, much later, as I started with reactions you had done to Chris Stapleton, Tori Amos, Prince, among many others. (I'm also a huge Prince fan, to the annoyance of my a lot of my friends. I don't care. They can be wrong.) So needless to say, as a guitarist and fan of these artists, you keep reeling me in to watch with you, learn some riffs, and your pure joy in some of these videos, is infectious. Keep that up! Now, comes my disappointment. I told myself, just don't write it. Who cares? Walk away. Yet, here I am typing. I'll just ask a question instead. Did I miss it, or did you not even mention the great Jake E. Lee, writer and forgotten guitarist, that was with Ozzy from 1983 - 1987, and created so much of this music on "Bark at the Moon" and 'The Ultimate Sin' albums? He was/is an incredible player! Everyone mentions Randy & Zakk, but Jake held the mantle through most of Ozzy's success throughout the 80's. That's all. #JakeELeeFanBoy 😂 Side note: I feel like there were 2 of the greatest players of their generations who never get the credit deserved. Jake E. Lee & Warren DeMartini.
@ Yes! It was epic and hot as hell. I have some great pictures of the night, that were lost until 2020. 12 years unseen. Long story, I digress... Great memories though, and had not seen Metallica live since 1988, at the last Texxas Jamm. 20 yrs between, crazy. They both killed it, Metallica & Ozzy. Straight up, one of the best performances by both.
With Zak it's always hair flying every direction. Don't think I saw this guy's face in a live playing situation until a few years after I knew who he was 🤣
Ozzy’s best solo line up was The Blizzard of Ozz, featuring Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley, & Lee Kerslake, & Ozzy’s second best band was Black Sabbath. Randy Rhoads played on 15 of Ozzy’s biggest 20 & Jake played on 3 of Ozzy’s 20 biggest hit songs…🤟🏼
Had this concert on DVD as a kid. Watched it SO many times in nose formative years. Jake E Lees solo on this is one of the best solos under the Ozzy name
I understand Jake E Lee wrote this but the way Zakk plays it is incredible. The squeals, the 2 note per string da da da da, da da da da fills, the trills everything. He adds so much to the song.
I saw Ozzy on the bark at the moon tour with Jake. Then again on the no rest for the wicked and no more tears tours. Then saw him with Black Sabbath, Pantera opened... awesome shows...
Written by Jake, not Randy, Ozzy screwed Jake over and the best band Ozzy had was not this incantation at all. Zakk is the man but this lineup wasn’t close to Ozzy’s best.
@@sekimotorm I've been very blessed, to see the greats. That Ozzy show, was the month after my first concert, Van Halen with Eddie and David. Helluva start!!
Zakk is incredible, the only big band i event went to a concert was his band, black label society, i stood right in front of him, in the front row like 15 feet away from him, and all the people divided into mosh pits and filming with their phones, i just stood there in awe and let that sound hit me, i'll never forget the moment the looked to me punched his chest gave me the fist then opened a beer and raised it as to offer us a cheers salute, then got back into soloing like the mad man he is!
What a great live performance!! Beautiful PRS, they're such nice axes. I have a few. A band today that is excellent live is The Warning, they grew up on the stuff we love! This stuff!! And talk about a bass and drum drive....Crank them up too!!! Enjoy your videos! Go Ravens!!!!
That single-guitarist, bass-drum only rhythm section during solos you speak of have my heart utterly captured. Probably has to do with my favorite band being The Who when I was a kid (Live at Leeds especially, which you should most definitely react to IN FULL someday in my opinion.) There's really ample amount of space for wild things to happen, and brings the bass to the forefront, which is almost always welcome.
my favorite Ozzy lineup as well. Absolutely huge and powerful. All 3 players are over the top huge in sound. Also, the vibe is off the charts cool. Zakk is metal cliche to the extreme (in a cool way). Rob is mellow so cal in dress. And whatever Mike has going on. Power and ability over image
I remembered listening and watching this dvd so much as a kid. And Zakk's guitar playing was unreal. Plus the cameraman was the goat, so much focus on zakk at the right times! None of this lets focus on the drummer during the solo bs that many concert dvds have!
I fell in love with Zack after seeing him in Ozzy's band and then reading his articles in Guitar World so naturally I was a huge Black Label Society fan and rarely missed a show. However, my worst Concert Experience ever was actually out of Black Label Society show so I still love Zack but it would have to be a special show for me to go to another one
Jake E. Lee was the man and the creator of the Bark of the Moon album. I saw him twice and with Ozzy....he was incredible. Then I saw him with Badlands and he was so drunk, many people walked out.
The old stuff that gets my blood flowing is Pink Floyd. Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are two that make my day. Newer albums like Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are absolute gems as well.
I gotta framed letter from Ozzy from the 1994 auditions & a bottle of Don Perrion champaign. Everyone has a favorite line up of bands with Ozzy. Who was the best?.
,,,,proud ticket holder of 1981 D.O.A.M concert,Boulder,CO,,C.U.event center,,Thanksgiving weekend,,poring rain,,..had the 8 track in my car way before that night,,..epic night of music we ( my girl),,will never forget.,,,,,please reply= when was your first Ozzy concert,,.tnx
ZAkk is my all time favorite with Jake E. Lee second with incredible songs with Ozzy and Badlands. Nuno is a strong number 3 for me. BLS is putting out such great music yearly!
Awesome vid. Been waiting for a Zakk vid. Love is playing. Jake E Lee was a monster as will. And Randy, what can I say about him that’s hasn’t already been said.
This song was on the GTA Vice City soundtrack. That whole soundtrack shaped my music taste. That, and my mom's and uncles love for Aerosmith, G'n'R, Def Leppard etc. This song was the song that made me pick up a guitar and want to learn how to play. I have never taken lessons before and I need to. I still can't get the solo down and here I am 19 years later. It's part of the reason I put the guitar down for bit. Just can't get over this plateau that I'm at.
I was fortunate enough to have gotten to see them play this live while the solar eclipse was happening in 2017. Zakk's solo kicked in just as the eclipse reached totality. It was the coolest and most badass thing I've ever seen. It still doesn't seem real that me and only a few thousand others were there to witness it. Jake E Lee is still the GOAT btw ;)
One of Zack Wild’s biggest influences is John Sykes. Mr. Sykes is the king of this kind of playing. I’d love to see you review one of his Thin Lizzy shows or some clips of his early time in Whitesnake.
Bark at the moon is the name of the album and song , Randy was already gone , Jake wrote the song , get your shit together , I loved Randy’s stuff .. I send you a video of me playing it if you like !!!
My favorite book is "I am Ozzy". Its the funniest thing ever written, period. YOU MUST READ THAT BOOK! Impossible to put it down. You will laugh out loud.
Ozzy has had some GREAT guitar players .. and yeah, perhaps some were better than Zakk, but in my view Zakk was the best guitarist Ozzy ever had in his band, not necessarily being the best guitar player, but the best for his band. Zakk's style just fit so perfectly with Ozzy's songs. Zakk's style, Zakk's tone, was just such a great fit. Zakk is definitely my favorite Ozzy guitarist, hands down.
It's funny that when that came out I thought Ozzy's energy and voice had started to go downhill as compared to say 1995-2001, but in retrospect its alright. The DVD was engineered and produced well so that helps hold it up all these years later.
The Blizzard band was the best Ozzy band. If it wasn’t for Bob Daisley and Randy Rhoads Ozzy would be asking if you want fry’s with that. Love all of his guitar players but Randy is my main influence and my favorite.
Correct me if I'm wrong , Jake E. Lee had to tune his guitar weird to accommodate Ozzy's voice tl make it easier for him.. I believe he ti the " A " string up to a B and the " D " up to a E.. I might have the " D " string wrong , but , I'm 95% sure the guitar itself was tuned funky to accommodate Ozzy..
Everyone has opinions, and you're certainly allowed to have yours. There's no right or wrong to preferences, but for me, Zakk out front and Castillo slapping the drums like they owed him money is THE golden era of solo Ozzy. I've got nothing but love for Randy, Jake, Phil, Tommy, Puffy, Lee, Inez, etc etc. All tremendous powerhouse players who crush what they do, but that lineup around the Moscow Music Peace Festival and the release of No Rest was where it was at for me. Zakk, Castillo, and Geezer on bass? Come on... we're all lucky that a hole wasn't ripped in the fabric of space-time.
The best version was the blizzard of Oz line up lee kerslake Bob daisley and randy rhoads. But yes the Jake e Lee and zakk lineups are great but zakk messes bark up often there's dissonance and resolutions that happen zakk doesn't do
I think I preferred the Live & Loud band 🤘🏼 That’s also not the way jake plays the main riff ….there’s a UA-cam of him explaining it somewhere. Love your content regardless !
Let's not forget to thank Jake E Lee for this Awesome song, progression and riff.
well said!
which is a better live version on the BATM than this crap.
Top 5 riffs and songs of Ozzy. This is incredible.
And no one, absolutely no one, plays it better than Jake.
@@iceblue56 nice try kremlinbot.
@@brucecampbellx it is, Butt Bot.
There is a video of Jake showing people note for note how to play every bit of the song. Very cool because he shows where people short hand it or just flat out play it wrong.
I tried out for a cover band and had to learn this song. I decided I obviously wanted to play the way Jake did so that it sounded right…boy what an athletic feat that was. Jake is so underrated. He’s a living guitar god
Mike Bordin and Rob Trujillo - What an absolute monster rhythm section right there!
Jake E Lee doesnt get the love he deserves, everyone things Randy and Zak when they think Ozzy guitarist, (rightfully so) But Jake was a monster, this song and the whole album is some of the best Ozzy stuff!
I agree! Bark at the Moon was always my favorite Ozzy album 😊
As a young kid, my aunt's husband got that LP. I recorded that to cassette. Like we all did. Bark at the moon is Ozzy's anthem and Jake E. Lee was the best guitarist that time. I think still in top3.
I Met Jake in person. What a super nice guy. He also autographed my BC Rich white double neck Bich.
@@nailbombx2311 Brad Gillis gets the worst of it. He was/is a monster himself.
*_JAKE E. LEE IS THE MAN_* It cannot be said enough.
Zakk is great, but Jake is incredible. Kind of wish you reviewed this song with Jake playing.
Jake E. Lee is my favorite Ozzy guitar player.
Jake E. Lee is still a fenomenal guitar player. He was shot not that long ago while out walking his dog, by the way. Luckily both he and the dog survived. I think my favorite Ozzy/Lee-song would have to be "Killer Of Giants" because I really enjoy playing the intro on my acoustic. :)
💯 Killer of Giants is one of his best!
Live he would go D standard. Studio is C#. Wanna get gnarly bump lmao 13s and go B standard. Sounds super mean.
Yesss Killer of Giants is also my favorite. A great song by Jake.
*Phenomenal
I got to see Ozzy and Zakk perform this song during a total solar eclipse. 2 o'clock on a Monday afternoon , pitch black and we are fucking jamming.
That’s a great video on UA-cam. Timed perfectly. 🤘
Diary is to me, the greatest album of all time.🤘
I really wish you did the Jake E Lee live version. I'll forgive you. Ha! As always, great video.
yeah man that Salt Lake City 1984 version is legendary, Crazy Train too from same concert
I came here to say that! Zach is a helluva player but Jake is the man. I mean, he wrote the guitar parts for crying out loud!
I wish zach would dial down the pinched harmonics tbh.
@@theonlyredspecial Agreed. I know it’s his signature, but to me he overuses the pinch harmonics with vibrato.
But I will never forgive him for not choosing a version with the one who wrote that song. 😡
This line up is far beyond amazing, the energie is epic. This whole concert is fantastic and it stands like a house. Zakk is the the reason i started playing guitar when i heard Miracle man in 1989. Just listen to everything he had a contribute in and you know he belongs to the greatest of all time. Thanks to Ozzy he brought us so many great players🙏🏽
Miracle Man is the shit
Zakk is brutal on this song. There is a video on youtube somewhere and Jake E. Lee was explaining the riff.
Ozzy Live at Budokan still has one of the best guitar sounds ever in my opinion. Zakk is crushing it
Mike Bordin is such a powerhouse of a drummer

Now, comes my disappointment. I told myself, just don't write it. Who cares? Walk away. Yet, here I am typing.
I'll just ask a question instead. Did I miss it, or did you not even mention the great Jake E.

Side note: I feel like there were 2 of the greatest players of their generations who never get the credit deserved.
Jake E. Lee & Warren DeMartini.
Totally agree with the two guitar players that never get enough credit
I was at that ‘08 Ozzfest as well. They just had the one show in Frisco, TX, right. Epic show!
@ Yes! It was epic and hot as hell. I have some great pictures of the night, that were lost until 2020. 12 years unseen. Long story, I digress... Great memories though, and had not seen Metallica live since 1988, at the last Texxas Jamm. 20 yrs between, crazy.
They both killed it, Metallica & Ozzy.
Straight up, one of the best performances by both.
Word!
I bought this DVD when it first came out. Can't count how many times I've watched it. So damn good 🤘🤘
With Zak it's always hair flying every direction. Don't think I saw this guy's face in a live playing situation until a few years after I knew who he was 🤣
Jake is a beast!! I do appreciate when talented musicians take a jam and add their DNA to it
The band is exceptional. Zakk seems to never get tired. I love it!
Ozzy’s best solo line up was The Blizzard of Ozz, featuring Randy Rhoads, Bob Daisley, & Lee Kerslake, & Ozzy’s second best band was Black Sabbath. Randy Rhoads played on 15 of Ozzy’s biggest 20 & Jake played on 3 of Ozzy’s 20 biggest hit songs…🤟🏼
Exactly
Awesome episode - cheers Michael. Agreed, one of the best performances, ever.
Had this concert on DVD as a kid. Watched it SO many times in nose formative years. Jake E Lees solo on this is one of the best solos under the Ozzy name
it's not Jake
the video is Zakk. The original solo on the record is Jake E. Lee.
I understand Jake E Lee wrote this but the way Zakk plays it is incredible. The squeals, the 2 note per string da da da da, da da da da fills, the trills everything. He adds so much to the song.
Ozzfest when Sabbath reunited minus Bill Ward. Ozzy did a set. Then came out to do the Sabbath set. Mike Bordin played both sets back to back. Badass.
I saw Ozzy on the bark at the moon tour with Jake. Then again on the no rest for the wicked and no more tears tours. Then saw him with Black Sabbath, Pantera opened... awesome shows...
Michael that song was written by Jake e Lee , not Randy Rhodes , it’s bad enough ozzy didn’t give him credit , c’mon man get your shit right !!!
*Rhoads
Oh man. The irony of calling out someone for not getting their s**t right, when you didn't get your s**t right.
Written by Jake, not Randy, Ozzy screwed Jake over and the best band Ozzy had was not this incantation at all. Zakk is the man but this lineup wasn’t close to Ozzy’s best.
Man this concert was so epic, Zakk is such an animal!
Jake was my favorite Ozzy git fiddle player! Love Zak also!
This album is still one of my favorite live albums out there
Jake is absolute genius! Also, Zakk was on fire that day!
Yay, a song i actually know. Thanks for all you do for the guitar community. 🤘
”There’s your Randy Rhoads arpeggios” - C’mon Michael, you’re walking on holy Jake E Lee ground here! 👊🏻😎
Preach
@ Yes!
They were on fire on that tour!
Agreed!!!
Great analysis (yet again), Michael! Thank you! Learned a lot. 🫶
even though he pretty much plays it completely wrong?
I was fortunate enough to see Ozzy with Randy Rhoads. IMO, he is the best of the guitar players Ozzy employed.
I’m extremely jealous.
@@sekimotorm I've been very blessed, to see the greats. That Ozzy show, was the month after my first concert, Van Halen with Eddie and David. Helluva start!!
@@cowslinger64 two of the best guitar players ever, back-to-back! Amazing. RIP to both.
@@sekimotorm Definitely RIP. Another I got to see, SRV. I did say I was blessed, lol. Nice to chat with someone that loves great guitar work.
One of the best live performances of my teens. Thank you!!
Absolutely love this song!…. Like you, makes me want to pick up the guitar and be creative again!…
Zakk is one of the guitarists that inspired me to pick up the instrument. One of the GOATs for sure.
Zakk is incredible, the only big band i event went to a concert was his band, black label society, i stood right in front of him, in the front row like 15 feet away from him, and all the people divided into mosh pits and filming with their phones, i just stood there in awe and let that sound hit me, i'll never forget the moment the looked to me punched his chest gave me the fist then opened a beer and raised it as to offer us a cheers salute, then got back into soloing like the mad man he is!
Okay I'll rewatch the whole live again sir Michael.
What a great live performance!! Beautiful PRS, they're such nice axes. I have a few. A band today that is excellent live is The Warning, they grew up on the stuff we love! This stuff!! And talk about a bass and drum drive....Crank them up too!!! Enjoy your videos! Go Ravens!!!!

Zakk = my all-time favorite vibrato. So wicked!
🔥 Ozzy always had amazing musicians
Very well executed review. Most you tubers are listening to the lyrics. Black Sabbath and Ozzy are all about the music.
Got to see Ozzy perform this in the 80's with Jake, I snuck in a small camera and got right up front, what a night.
I fell in love with Zack after seeing him in Ozzy's band and then reading his articles in Guitar World so naturally I was a huge Black Label Society fan and rarely missed a show. However, my worst Concert Experience ever was actually out of Black Label Society show so I still love Zack but it would have to be a special show for me to go to another one
Live at budakan was my first CD!!!! Love this.
Jake E. Lee was the man and the creator of the Bark of the Moon album. I saw him twice and with Ozzy....he was incredible. Then I saw him with Badlands and he was so drunk, many people walked out.
there was also a keyboard player backstage, you can hear synth pads in the background
The old stuff that gets my blood flowing is Pink Floyd. Atom Heart Mother and Meddle are two that make my day. Newer albums like Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here are absolute gems as well.
I saw Ozzy in 1996 . With Zakk and Rob on bass . It was one of the best I've seen
I was today years old when I finally understood what Phrygian was when you explained it. lol
I gotta framed letter from Ozzy from the 1994 auditions & a bottle of Don Perrion champaign. Everyone has a favorite line up of bands with Ozzy. Who was the best?.
Amen agreed brother
Just saw Zakk last Sunday night in OKC with Zakk Sabbath , he never disappoints
Big Zakk fan myself. never saw him with Ozzy. Saw Bark at the Moon tour with Jake.
I love this lineup with Joe Holmes on guitar!

1985, McNichols Arena, Metallica opened up, unbelievable concert.
ZAkk is my all time favorite with Jake E. Lee second with incredible songs with Ozzy and Badlands. Nuno is a strong number 3 for me. BLS is putting out such great music yearly!
My fav Ozzy song. It just rips.
One day you really have to feature Warren De Martini. Criminally underrated RATT guitarist.
Awesome vid. Been waiting for a Zakk vid. Love is playing. Jake E Lee was a monster as will. And Randy, what can I say about him that’s hasn’t already been said.
Gotta do Jake. Zack is great, but come on man!! Jake is the man! My favorite Ozzy guitarist. 🤘🏼
This song was on the GTA Vice City soundtrack. That whole soundtrack shaped my music taste.

Jake E Lee is still the GOAT btw ;)
Jake was the perfect fit after Randy’s passing. Then Zak came in and also took to another level with his playing ability.
The original and best Randy, Bob, Lee and Ozzy.
Oh how I wish Jake would lee was given an ounce of credit in this video, one of the best 80’s guitarists
One of Zack Wild’s biggest influences is John Sykes. Mr. Sykes is the king of this kind of playing. I’d love to see you review one of his Thin Lizzy shows or some clips of his early time in Whitesnake.
I’d like to know what you think about the No Rest for the Wicked album from Ozzy. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ozzy with Jake was my first concert. Metallica opened
No kill switch at 2:47. That's the Dunlop Rotovibe......
Bark at the moon is the name of the album and song , Randy was already gone , Jake wrote the song , get your shit together , I loved Randy’s stuff .. I send you a video of me playing it if you like !!!
Never did I expect you would have seen Ozzy the most! If I had to guess I would have said Umphrey’s.
My favorite book is "I am Ozzy". Its the funniest thing ever written, period. YOU MUST READ THAT BOOK! Impossible to put it down. You will laugh out loud.
Ozzy has had some GREAT guitar players .. and yeah, perhaps some were better than Zakk, but in my view Zakk was the best guitarist Ozzy ever had in his band, not necessarily being the best guitar player, but the best for his band.

Still take the originator......thanks JAKE!!!
I’d love for you to check out Wilco’s “Impossible Germany” specifically the live recording from Mobile, Alabama!
It's funny that when that came out I thought Ozzy's energy and voice had started to go downhill as compared to say 1995-2001, but in retrospect its alright. The DVD was engineered and produced well so that helps hold it up all these years later.
Imagine going from Mike Bordin.....to Lars. That must be tough
Holy shit, those guys are playing like there is no tomorrow.
The Blizzard band was the best Ozzy band. If it wasn’t for Bob Daisley and Randy Rhoads Ozzy would be asking if you want fry’s with that. Love all of his guitar players but Randy is my main influence and my favorite.
Yep Randy arpeggios? Jake all day baby . I love all of Ozzy's guitar players because they are so different.
Correct me if I'm wrong , Jake E. Lee had to tune his guitar weird to accommodate Ozzy's voice tl make it easier for him.. I believe he ti the " A " string up to a B and the " D " up to a E..

Jake e. Lee wrote that song, not Randy. Awesome nontheless.
The best version was the blizzard of Oz line up lee kerslake Bob daisley and randy rhoads. But yes the Jake e Lee and zakk lineups are great but zakk messes bark up often there's dissonance and resolutions that happen zakk doesn't do
Watch Jake e Lee teach it the he does it on the record
Zakk is no Randy and no Jake. Zakk is Zakk. Did Jake played exactly like Randy? All three are amazing, all three different styles.
In that tuning you could still pedal off the open G string.
That PRS really that good? That comfortable and playable?
Bro, how about that “Speak of the Devil” lineup?! Tommy Aldridge, Brad Gillis, Rudy Sarzo.
I think I preferred the Live & Loud band 🤘🏼
That’s also not the way jake plays the main riff ….there’s a UA-cam of him explaining it somewhere.
Love your content regardless !
Zakk is the shiznizzle!
You should do live in Paris 1970 Toni Iomi very underrated Iron man or War pigs
Is he using a phaser or chorus for effect?
