totally agree, Zakk is awesome because of his stage presence and all,and he is a good guitarrist, very respected by many, but lately Ozzy was sounding too BLS, too many powerchords and pinch harmonics
i got into Ozzy because of Zakk, but Jake E Lee i must say is way better musician and guitarrist, he's amazing, and wrote Ozzy's best for me anyway Bark at the Moon
Gus G is just a younger dirtier version of Zakk, i don't like it at all, he moves exactly like him, so just a cheap copy
&feature=related (BARK AT THE MOON GUS G)
(Zakk best peromance of Bark at the moon)
(the master, Jake E Lee)
note Jake's amazing arrangements, obviously the guy wrote the song so he knows what to do with it, but still, Amazing guitarrist
imho, if it's not Jake, then keep Zakk, Ozzy has yet to anounce his long term Zakk replacement, so we could end up in a 2000 flashback and keep Zakk at the end, but John 5 sounds as the likely pick
