I have the tapes and I think he did really well considering that he had less than a week to fly over sort out his gear, learn a set list and develop a raport with the band and deal with Ozzy's unpredictability. The fact that Ozzy gave Bernie the '64 strat that he used as a standby tells you that Ozzy and Sharon were more than happy with the Job Bernie did.
Yeah, he had around 3 days to learn two albums worth of songs he'd never heard before, and seeing as those songs were originally played by Randy Rhoads, and werent really suited to Bernies playing style I'd say he did pretty ok!
i met bernie,robin & john at a charity gig in lancashire & they were so down to earth! not like the greedy gillan who sacked 'the gillan band' just cos of a deal to put purple back together! rock on gmt!!!!!!
@3AnimeMangaLover I was there too mate if you mean the marine hall,fleetwood. John was having a laugh cos we were the only two baldies in there & Bernie gave me the plectrum used on the night, top gig!
God, this is STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!
