I think that's a good idea!

But then I think we maybe should also add another one for Bernie Torme :

Well, I would possibly think about a Joe Holmes section, however Bernie Torme is a little extreme. Bernie only played a couple of shows with Ozzy and there wouldnt be much talk about him. It would be like adding an Alex Skolnick section IMO. however, Trigger is my fellow admin he also a has a voice in it, as do the mods!

Well I thiink Alex Skolnick only played one gig or so with Ozzy so that will be a bit extreme.

But Bernie's playing with Ozzy is very, very Randy related! He even used Randy's pedalboard!

I just saw Trigger's idea in the mod section, maybe it's a good idea to give Joe & Bernie a section together ? :)
They both have in common that they only toured with Ozzy but never made an album with him.

Yes, he used Randy's amps. The pedal-board thing was only one gig though. His pedalboard were getting sent to him, so he had to use Randy's. I'm not sure if the amps were used by Bernie more than that one gig though... :D He also said that the pedals turned themselves on and off while he was playing. :?

Didn't he also use Randy's guitars for the first show? I swear I read that somewhere, being that his equipment had to come through customs....

Maybe the spirit of Randy didn't want him to play his equipment. I personally think it's kind of disrespectful of Bernie doing that but I suppose that's what he had to do.
