Question for the Ozzy experts, this just popped up in my head. :ROFLMAO:

Is it me or it's weird that Brad Gillis and Tommy Aldridge were not part of that big concert?
Night Ranger is on tour and had a gig July 5 so that probably why Brad Gillis couldn’t make it. He was always a temporary hired gun

Don’t know about Tommy Aldridge. He’s had big health issues the last few years.

Yeah, they should have brought in Tommy for sure.
 
@Subclavian2 @chumbucket I stumble on a random video of Brad filling in following the death of Randy (RIP) and from what I heard he was doing a good job. Make sense that if he was booked elsewhere it was kind of difficult to be part of the event.

As for Tommy, I didn't know about his health condition. I hope he is doing fine.

Brad didn't have long to learn the material before he got thrown in the deep end, but he did a decent job considering. Lots of Floyd action for sure. He has a killer tone on the SOTD album. Mesa Mark of some sort.
 
not as weird as no Bob Daisley and to a lesser degree Don Airey ... but yeah Brad and Tommy should have been there
Not sure why anyone is surprised Bob or Lee weren't mentioned.

Ozzy and Sharon have done almost everything they could to erase them from Ozzy's history. I mean when you actually go back and re-record bass and drum parts on 30 year old albums, what more can be said about greed. I washed my hands with Ozzy after that. It's like when I listen to his stuff now he's just a voice that I tune out, I listen for the music.

Word. It's not like Ozzy has released anything listenable in the last 30 years anyway.

If it wasn't for Bob Daisley and Randy Rhoads Ozzy would have faded into oblivion in 1981.
 
I was just watching the latest episode of Tone Talk on YouTube. Dave Friedman said he's not a fan of Nuno and could never understand the hype about him. Does anyone know if there is more to the story?

No one is surprised at this point ... but still good to point it out every chance

Weird. I don’t like Extreme in the least but still recognize the fact that Nuno is an incredible player.
