Pete Mertons in the new Whitesnake Donington 1990 DVD

Post by The Flying Dutchman »

For those who may not know: Pete Mertons was Randy's guitartech during the Ozzy years. We never heard him speak in public about Randy. He was interviewed for the Randy documentary but unfortunately that documentary is still in hold. So far only a few pics has been seen of this kind of mysterious guy who probably can give us tremendous insight about Randy on tour...... Pete also became Rudy Sarzo's tech in his Whitesnake days. Since there is very little info about Pete I think it's worth to mention it here:

Finally there is some footage of Pete Mertons as well! The new Whitesnake Donington 1990 DVD contains a nice documentary about the making of "The Slip of The Tongue" album. Pete is seen and mentioned (by David Coverdale) two times in there. The first time it shows Pete in the studio for a few seconds and for sure he is a funny guy, check it out! :P Coincidence or not but the documentary ends (in the very last second of the doc) with Pete watching straight into the cam when it enters a door where it apparently shouldn't.
Haven't seen this doc on youtube yet, but there is a trailer of the DVD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-2Tt4IjPlE
Anyways it's a a nice suprise to finally see some footage too of the guy who was once Randy's guitartech! :)
