Jake is/was awesome and one of my favorites of all time. It helps to be a guitar player and know what he was doing to appreciate some of the intricate stuff he wrote and played.

I knew his longtime guitar tech and hearing the real story about how/why he was fired from the band made me detest Ozzy and that only grew over the years after I heard of what him and Sharon have done to other band members (e.g. Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, etc).

Ozzy will always have a place in my heart because of Tony, Randy and Jake but personally, I think he's terrible for what he's done to other musicians.
