A few rare photos from the Pittsburg gig and guitar seminar in 1982.

I heard from a friend that Dave Tangye has sadly passed away at home, after a long term battle with cancer. (1st October 2022) For anyone who does not know Dave. He was very kind for sharing his memories, photographs and an interview that he did for the forum a few years ago. He worked with Necroman...

Cheers for posting those pixs up good job.

Some of those are new to me. Doing searches on pin interest and various picture source engines like iconicpixs throw up some great unseen memories from all sorts of bands and musos These are a few I've saved on my phone.

Awesome job... Was all the effort worth it... Does it sound as good as it looks.

Just found this aswell....

Just noticed that Bob is selling some of his work horses. His 1963 EB3 and his 1971 Zemaitis custom that was used by Small Faces's Ronnie Lane. https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Gibson-EB-3-Ex-Bob-Daisley-1963-Cherry-Red-91833 https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Zemaitis-Custom-Bass-Ex-Ronni...

I've just seen this announced over on facebook it looks like a collection of interviews from family and ex band mates. Some of these are from people like Delores and Frankie Banali, Eddie Van Halen, Gary Moore. So i don't know how much of this is new or if its a collection of various interviews with...

Looks like Frankie Banali's estate have managed to get those original records reissued. Something to look forward to...

Cheers for that guitaridol. You have to be a special type of wanker to put sleeping pills in someones drink. I did hear that Randy was beasted and did get made fun of during the Ozzy tours. He was spiked with a sleeping pill one time and when he woke up, he went to bed. He didn't realise he had bee...

That's a nice photo! Too bad we cannot see Pete's face :lol: I was also thinking how did Pete tune Randy's guitars if he didn't play himself... Maybe just tuned them with tuners... :? Even using a tuner is not a guarantee the guitar is in tune when you hand it over to the player. I know Randy had i...

That's the photo of Randy showing Pete some photos he'd taking.

Pete was not that technically switched on with guitar knowledge. He didn't even play guitar which makes me think if he didn't play how could he tune a guitar. Randy must of tuned all his guitars and he handed them to him as he changed guitars. Ozzy was helping a mate out and he was there to. party w...

I believe I first met Randy in a rehearsal studio in London called John Henrys. I believe it was December, 1979. I am a bit vague on the dates, there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then. We were rehearsing for the Blizzard of Ozz album. We rehearsed there for a bit and then we went t...
