I've always been intrigued by the "Aria" that Viv (And later, Adrian Smith) is playing. I know that he was an endorsee, but that don't look like any other Aria I've ever seen, it's more like a "Charvel Ariahead" . Anyone know the story behind that one?

could just be a home made one like the strat lynch wa splaying

I remember the Hear n Aid video from back in the day, when it came out. Watching all those smokin' guitar solos in a row was awsome and it still is. Damn! I gotta find a copy of that.

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.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see that, but I remember when Ozzy's "Speak of the Devil" album was released. Brad Gillis breathed a new life into those old Sabbath songs with his tone and shreding abilities.

Kind of funny to see Dio talking about what a kind and great person Vivian Cambpell is at the beginning.
