Best of Ozzy Osbourne
Recently picked this book up again ... Started learning "Bark at the Moon". And this TAB version by Andy Robyns is really really wrong.... After studying the original Ozzy & Jake E Lee videos i can conclude that there are GLARING transcription errors throughout the ryhthm parts and the solos ... Solo 2 is so far wrong its laughable !!!! BAD BAD BAD.

Ozzy Osbourne best of
This book was good if you look at how correct the tabs were. The not so good part is the songs. There were only a few good songs I liked. For twenty dollars, it was worth it.

Awesome book!!
This is a terrific book with very accurate transcriptions for the most part. I found the tab very helpful and easy to read and I applaud the authors. The bottom line is if you are a good player, there is enough detail in here to get you going. However, if you don't have the chops for it I will warn you that some of the solos are quite hard to play.

who wrote this?
I bought this book about 2 months ago, and I think it is not really good.There are a lot of mistakes and i can't understand the songs' versions. Some are good such as Crazy Train, No More Tears, Paranoid,Bark at the moon. Others, look at Goodbye to Romance, are really a mess. If a knew i didn't spend my money on this book. I am 15 but I am a real OZZY fan. randy forever in our hearts.

Just Buy The Ozzman Cometh
This book is horrible. It should say on the songlist, which versions of the songs are transcribed. The Randy Rhoads songs are already difficult (from the studio albums) but he's a madman live. Andy Robyns is a horrible transcriber. He made countless errors on this book, especially the solos. If you want an Ozzy book that has all of the hits and doesn't suck, just buy The Ozzman Cometh.

I BELIEVE IS GOOD
I bougth it 2 months ago and ít's almost good except for GOODBYE TO ROMANCE BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY MIS TAKES EVERY WHERE, BUT MY POINT OF VIEW I GUESS IT DOES'T NECESSARY PLAY LIKE RANDY RHOADS, JAKE E. LEE OR ZAKK WILDE THEY'LL PROUD IF WE MAKE OTHER ARREGEMENTS I'M A RANDY RHOAD'S FAN AND I PREFER PLAY SUICIDE SOLUTION WITH MY OWN STYLE THAT PLAY IT AS OZZY'S RECORD TRIBUTE. IF YOU'RE A MUSICIAN THIS IS A GOOD BOOK FOR YOU MAYBE SOLOS ARE DIFFICULT PRACTIC THEM AND YOU'LL BE BETTER EVERY DAY.

Dont Buy This Crap
This book sucks. First of all, all of Randy Rhoads's songs are tabbed off of the tribute except "Goodbye to Romance." On top of that, a few of the songs are tabbed wrong. A word of advice,if you see a tab book with Andy Robyns on it, Don't buy it.

Confusing selections
I still have a hard time figuring out which albums some of the songs were transcribed from. Most of the songs included here that were originally done in the Randy Rhoads era are definitely not the versions found on the actual studio albums. It would have been nice if they would have told us which versions they transcribed from so that someone could listen along to it while reading the notes. This songbook should be good for anyone trying to get a taste of stuff that Ozzy has done if they are not particular about which versions are transcribed. Although I did rate this as an intermediate level of difficulty, the solos are rather fast and difficult. For those like me who were looking for the Randy Rhoads versions, I recommend "Diary of a Madman" and "Ozzy Osbourne/Randy Rhoads - Tribute".
