I remember reading an interview with Brad after Night Ranger took off, saying this gig with Ozzy was an impossible task. Kids in the front with RR t-shirts flipping him off the whole show - that kind of thing. Gotta give the guy credit; those were size 100 shoes to try and fill.
Thanks for the Videos. This tour was the best I ever saw Ozzy. I was fortunate enough to see it with Randy at the Ax. 2 weeks later he was gone. However thumbs up to Brad Gillis, he had impossible shoes to fill. Peace
This was my first ever rock concert in Hartford Ct. in spring of '82 when I was 15. It scared the shit outta me. I came in and went,"Holy shit. wtf is this? I'm in a castle's church? lol."
And I'd never seen so many slutty looking chicks in one place before or since, 29 years later. I went to rih boarding school. Man, chicks like that sure weren't in class with me. Like 5 thousand Morticia Addams Goth sluts. It fucin' ruled. Changed my life.
What bugs me is why is there this footage from the Diary tour with Brad, but nothing like this with Randy!!! WHY?????????????? It Stinks, Randy should
have been documented more on Video.. such a bummer!

I gotta hand it to Brad Gillis. He does this and many other songs pretty well. Of course he's no Randy, but of all Ozzy guitarists he probably does them best. Just too bad he didn't do something similar in Night Ranger haha.
This is my favorite Brad Gillis stuff here-I think he did a fantastic job under the circumstances...They all loved Randy and they all had to go on even when they didn't want to.
Brad Gillis came along at a very crucial time....he knew what he was up against, and knew what the feeling in the Osbourne camp was (having just lost Randy)....he stepped up BIG and delivered....
The record company was in contract for a live albulm.Ozzy loved and respected Rhoads and diddent want to release the live albulm so soon after Randy death later to be called Tribute.He did as agreed and gave them a live album.Brad did a great job and is a great guitar player.
@SideWinerRocks Brad Gillis is a great player - one of the under-rated ones. If it looks like he's not playing, it's only because of the video quality. Gillis was from the band Night Ranger. After Randy's death, Ozzy also had the guitarist from Pat Benatar playing with him for a while.
@SideWinerRocks If Brad was not playing the guitar and then who TF was playing it? You said something impossible ! This was a Live Concert ...man. It was not in a studio.
@DylanB003 He kinda did didn't he? I also loved the fact that Ozzy tried to pick him up like he did Randy but couldn't get him as high as he did Randy and thought to himself "For fuck's sake, this wanker is heavy!"
I love this song, Love Ozzy! Hate ppl who judge him based on his stage image--they obviously dont takie the time to understand what Ozz is all about. LONG LIVE THE MASTER!
No use to compare Brad with Randy. Brad stayed with Ozzy for a short period of time. They both were great guitarists anywat IMO.
