The other legendary Ozzy axeman on this list — Randy Rhoads — crammed so many evil , medieval riffs into this song that one might imagine it to have been notated in bloodink by cobwebbed candelabra . The acoustic passages during the verse descend and wilt like the collapsing cortexes of rotting flowers . The riffs sigh like the ever-gaping maw of a once beautiful woman , now suspended in eternal yawn as she becomes one with the soil . There are linings of silver and gold laden within this decomposition . We contemplate this sequence of awe until then , as the electric storm looms forth , the hellish choir bellows , summoning one of the most classically terrifying stringed sequences of all time . Grab a new TC Electronic Mimic — good for the acoustic and electric bits — along with a MXR Script Logo Distortion + and do the devil ’ s masterwork .
