I've heard that some of his guitar parts for songs on both BoO and DoaM were taken from previous Quiet Riot songs.

You hear correctly, though it is much more true on "Blizzard of Ozz" :D

I remember the late Kevin DuBrow :rip: commenting at that time that part or most of the guitar parts for "Believer" specifically was taken right from a QR song, but I can't recall which song he was referring to and he was pretty miffed about it at the time, too. :flame:

The riff that comes right after the chanting (at 4.16 to be precise!) is without the shadow of a doubt, THE bestest heavy metal guitar riff ever!!!

Favorite MOMENT of a song that hits you on a deep soul level (but isn't one of your favorite songs)?
