what the f*** are you wearing there George!

Weird - the wiki page says Tommy Aldridge was there on backing vocals but not to play drums?

I thought Malmsteen and Lynch were far and away the best on that track. Gillis has a distinctive style but I don't really care for his playing on that particular solo. I do like his Night Ranger stuff with Jeff Watson

I always thought Gillis as a monster on guitars.

I remember the first time I ever saw him play was when he filled in for the rest of the Ozzy tour when Randy Rhoades died. I had tickets for the original show but it was postponed because of the tragedy. When Ozzy came back 2 or 3 months later to finish the tour, Brad Gillis was playing. I remember thinking how awesome he played that night. Unbelievable for stepping in at the last minute and basically "nailing" Randy's solos. I was very impressed and made sure I bought all his stuff with Night Ranger later on.

god all those hair malmsteen rules btw

My faves were Lynch, Malmsteen, Gillis, and Goldy. I thought Lynch had the most "fire" and attitude in his playing out of everyone though (I wonder where the hell that went when I hear him these days). Buck Dharma and Neil Schon played a few cool things as well. Everyone sounded decent to me except Carlos Cavazo and Eddie Ojeda...weak.

I remember one Ozzy show w/Brad Gillis, which was broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower hour..Like you mentioned above, Brad Gillis did a damn good job..

what the f*** are you wearing there George!

It looks like a cut off shirt that some 13 year old girl took off and threw on stage.

George was wearing something strange?? Look at the back of Under Lock and Key. The Village People somehow looked less gay.

[jaydog]

can you imagine what a bitch it would have been to get all these musicians together and to try to organize it all.

[jaydog]

i have seen the whole vid - the vocalists were terrible!!! they sounded so rubbish on the vid, out of tune, out of time, couldn't hit notes properly, i wonder how on earth they were dooing it proffessionally

imo the vocalists did fine.

My favorite parts of the solo fall in line with the rest. I hadn't watched that for a few years. I'm bummed all over again that uncle Ted and Amir and Chris from Rough Cutt didn't get a few licks in. It was Chris that first made me want to try a Kelly.
