Gotta love the "Gumby" pose. I LOVE Zakk and BLS.

Suppressing the spread of TAB will never work in the long run. I'm not worried.......

I just bought Hatebreed - Perseverance. Absolutely crushing. Can't wait for Supremacy to come out. Also just saw them at Ozzfest last weekend.

I thought the EMG pickups were good enough that i wouldn't need to change them? that's why i spent more on the zakk wylde guitar instead of the normal white custom.. and what are BL L500XL ? i've still got this feeling that white guitar looks cooler than the camo paint one, the pickups on the white...

I think we all wish that everything Ozzy and/or the record labels have in their vaults would be released as a DVD sompilation, or whatever. Maybe someday. But, if I was a betting man, I'd say 'no'.

I don't know, but from what I've read it seems like they ended on good terms :) I think that's true. I think the arrangement was for Brad to be a "hired guitarist" contracted to just do the tour - not really to be part of the permanent band. I also heard that they parted ways on friendly ...

Thanks for the kind words. Xanadu is a song from one of my alltime favorite Rush albums.

...And if ANYONE knows of a bootleg of this particular show (June 3, 1982), I would LOVE to get it somehow as a souvenir of that great show. 8) Hi Workingman and welcome to the site I have been told that a boot of that show was recorded but I have never found it. I am always on the look for new Bra...

Hey Workingman, Great story! :D Front row center, wow! Must be amazing! 8) I have the Speak of the Devil DVD with Brad and for sure he did a fantastic job! Oh, & welcome aboard! (are you a Rush fan ? ) Yes, I am a HUGE Rush fan (since I was raised up on the Canadien border, I grew up listening ...

'nuff said.

I saw Ratt while I was stationed at Keesler AFB (Biloxi MS) back in early 1987. Great show. Bryan Adams opened for them. I even caught one of Robbin Crosby's guitar picks (I still have it).

I just posted a LONG description over in the "Brad Gillis" Section of my most memorable live gig I was at - Seeing Ozzy live with Brad Gillis on guitar during the Diary tour from the front row in Montreal.

Do you think that Ozzy would ever want Brad back? I don't know, but from what I've read it seems like they ended on good terms :) I think that's true. I think the arrangement was for Brad to be a "hired guitarist" contracted to just do the tour - not really to be part of the permanent ban...

This is my first post here, and this particular thread is the most appropriate, since the first time I saw Ozzy live was with Brad Gillis. This also happens to be my greatest "concert story" I've told friends over the years. 8) I grew up in small northern NY town (Rouses Point) on the Cana...
