this guitar guy kicks ass..maybe better than the other guy

[donottawaguitar]

joe rocks

[scobum]

Shoot I Remember telling Joe, I'd see him play the Fabulous Forum (That was the forum The Lakers played at. and many top bands ) Back when he was 16. (I would always stop and talk when I rode my bike past his house, He always had his guitar) I just knew it. He always was finding flaws in his playing and trying to correct them. Just something in the math of the guy. Later I DID see him play with Ozzy and he saw me and pointed back. haha . He was a cool guy to grow up with, I wish him the best.

[hirschy93]

@MetalT95 that is robert trujillo

[MetalT95]

0:50 robert trujillo´s twin

[johnay3ch]

The bass player looks like he belongs with Rob Zombie.

[wyldemw]

@johnay3ch Actually, that's  Robert Trujillo from Metallica.

[vaibanez17]

It's nice to hear Crazy Train without "da da da da da da squeal, da da da da da da squeal!" Sorry but Zakk really screwed up Crazy Train worse than any other Randy song.

[eramir228]

@vaibanez17 Indeed, and he even took lessons from Randy. (Though when he played Iron Man with Ozzy, it always had a squeal on the last note of the riff every time he played it, which got annoying, but still less squeals than Zakk)

[syphen90125]

Joe is a bad ass.

[ryanbailey112]

Joe Holmes is awesome!!! Hope to some some new work from him soon. Ozzzy should have hired Joe not Gus IMHO

[EvilEyester]

The Strat was not made for these types of songs. I know; I have three of them! Although I do like his '73.

[ansionnachcliste]

What a legend but he's so fucked up for a 51 year old here.

[wisesatyr72]

this guy Joe Holmes looks pretty cool and hes got a wicked sound..too bad hes not in any new bands..

[peteelliedaisy]

Who is the drummer on this video?

[HalalKafir]

@peteelliedaisy The drummer is Brian Tichy who is now with Whitesnake and played with Zakk in Pride & Glory. One of the baddest cats in the biz.

[littlefuzzer]

@HalalKafir ..my boy Brian from our hometown Boonton NJ...I can't believe has done so well..actually I can..he always was so talented.Went to high school with me...very cool dude.

[peteelliedaisy]

@HalalKafir this dude kicks ass....everyone is all caught up in Joe Holmes meanwhile...the drummer is fuckin' rockin'

[HalalKafir]

@peteelliedaisy Joe is very underrated but Tichy is a monster indeed. He just organized a Tribute to John Bonham in L.A. last week, 'The Groove Remains The Same' - check him out on 'The Immigrant Song' watch?v=gf1VPEqWRV8 . Btw, Brian is also a kick ass guitar player and an even better singer - he's got some audio clips of his band Ball on his website. Great stuff!

[peteelliedaisy]

@HalalKafir right on...death to all but metal

[sixfoursoul1]

roberts is so talented cant he tell his tone sucks soooo bad?? its always muddy ! and joes guitar is out of tune during this whole song ! srat is the wrong giutar for this

[epjar78]

is that brian tichy on drums? he's very underrated in my opinion,has played with billy idol,foreigner and now with whitesnake keep beating the skins bro...

[baronbuttocks2]

is that dave navarro playing guitar?

[Livenlaff]

I forget. Why wasn't Zakk with Ozzy in 2000?

[hirschy93]

@Livenlaff i think something to do with Black Label Society

[bandit7498]

@Livenlaff Zakk recorded Ozzmosis. The right before the tour Zakk got an offer to be in GnR. He talked it over with Ozzy because he couldn't make up his mind. So Ozzy made it up for him and told him to try the GnR thing. Zakk played (or rehearsed) with GnR for a while and decided it wasn't for him. Joe Holmes was already with Ozzy on tour. So Zakk started Pride & Glory. When that fell apart he did his solo record, Book of Shadows. Around '98 he started auditioning players for BLS.

[LokhapalaH]

@Livenlaff Because Zakk was not decided about entering Guns'n'roses or going in this tour with Ozzy..... So he waited and at last nobody took Zakk : Guns'n'roses nor Ozzy !

[bajadrums]

i preffer mr joe holmes 1000 times more than that stupid greek zakk wylde wanna be

[chewychewy1213]

Did Joe record on Ozzmosis or was that Zakk and Joe just did the tour?? I love Joes playing a lot. I like Jake lee the best of all of them, but Ozz has had some amazing guitarists that is for sure.

[hirschy93]

Joe actually helped write or wrote a few songs for Ozzy. Not sure what album though. Joe is a very talented guitarist and Ozzy definitely has had some greats in his lineup

[outlaw6066]

He co-wrote sum songs on Down To Earth. Shame he didn't get to record his parts though.

[bandit7498]

@hirschy93 Actually Zakk was with Ozzy for Ozzmosis. Ozzy didn't put out another studio album till Down to Earth in '01. He attempted writing with Joe Holmes, but the chemistry wasn't there (according to Ozzy). So Joe was let go and most of the writing was done by Ozzy and producers before Zakk was called back in. That's why that album isn't as cohesive. Zakk was more or less a hired gun for that album. Black Rain is a much better alum in my opinion.

[hirschy93]

@bandit7498 oh ok well i do know for a fact joe helped write a few songs on the Down to Earth album

[bandit7498]

@hirschy93 lol. None of us know ANYTHING for a fact because we weren't there. lol. But I DO believe Joe is credited on a couple songs on that album.

[akhawaja2]

Joe maybe the most obscure of all of Ozzy's guitar

players, Jake E. Lee at least had "Bark at the moon",

but nevertheless, he rips, thanks for putting this

video up hirschy93, i love hearing different

variations of "crazy Train" and this one kicks ass.

[RockbertoRocks]

I miss the great Joe Holmes on guitar. Brian Tichy on drums was also the king!

[jpeche12]

who is this cat on drums?

[RockbertoRocks]

Brian Tichy... drummer and guitar player extraordinaire!

[trickpa80]

Joe holmes the king !

[SouthernPride76]

are you people kidding?? Rob Trujillo is one of the best bass players ever....

[scarymike51]

I like how Joe Holmes was supposedly the next Randy and he never even did an album with Ozzy. What a bad guitar for this kind of music.

[hirschy93]

he wrote three songs with ozzy. and the bad guitar part, that doesn't really matter. he's switched the pickups so it has a metal tone.

[4JayeP]

Of all the Ozzy line-ups this is the weakest.

[hirschy93]

maybe so. a lot of people wanted a video with joe in it so this is what i have

[4JayeP]

Hey didn't mean to offend you. Thanx for the effort to put the video up.

[TheShredMonkey]

@4JayeP u must be the dumbest little fuck. i bet u only know like zakk wylde and randy rhoads and nothing else. this was a great line-up and joe holmes is such a beast

[eviltilt]

nice
