In 1982 when he originally replaced Randy, I could have forgiven him for the poor playing since he'd have had only a couple weeks to learn everything. However, he had 27 years (As of this video) to be able to learn this piece. I get trying to add your own spin on it and all, but damn.

I think he is good doing pentatonic blues stuff but playing that kind of stuff....

I'm just complaining because he is supposed to be a professional player ;_)

Yeah 'cool comments' when this guy was on the stage probably getting the same shit thrown at him in 1982 from smart arsed RR fans. Not even thinking of the time period he had to learn the set and try to pull off an Ozzy gig without getting slagged to fuck. Bernie is nothing like RR and has never claimed to be, but please give the guy some respect the same way he respects RR to this day and for them reasons alone the guy is cool.

Bernie may well be cool but if he chooses to play Crowley that badly in front of an audience 27 years after he learned the song, someone is going to speak out.

Well for the record Sky how many people dont like the Living Loud album with the redone Ozzy tracks. I get them and i like them but a majority don't like them for what ever reason ..It's the same thing...it's Bernie probably pulling that track out of the bag and making a hash of it ...unrehearsed and done badly ...But give the guy some slack...or is he not worthy.

I don't think it's the same thing at all, from what I've heard Bernie is a great bloke but his playing on Crowley in that clip isn't good, I think Randy would probably say the same. Steve Morse's playing on the Living Loud album is great, whether I like his interpretation doesn't come into whether his playing is technically good or not. As it happens, I don't like Jimmy Barnes as a singer or a frontman and I think they should've used someone else in Living Loud, that's just my opinion, obviously the management/record company didn't agree.

It's regret, i think that really is the worst kind of pain, yeah guilt is bad, and sadness is bad, but regret is the sickly combination of both.
