S. Eric Finke and Brad was faced with the extremely difficult task of replacing Randy Rhoads (RIP) on the Diary tour - and he did a hell of a job. Then he went on to have a lot of success with Night Ranger. Him and Jeff Watson were one of the best guitar duos in rock at that time, and they each had their own distinctive style.
In the beginning of the video while he is playing softly there is a few seconds where it sounds as if he is playing Stevie Ray Vaughn's Riviera Paradise for a moment. And the moment he slams the back of the neck is scary loud. This is a superb recording to say the least. The "Wow it's Brad factor" sets into play here.
Ridicolous to try imitate Eddy/randy to gain some money from Ozzy. Brad is not so bad if He play in his own night ranger style. In this show the solo was crappy circus Fantasy.
He still uses those models today. I bought a restored 1981 Floyd Rose with no fine tuners, and it was awesome. They have a somewhat vintage Fender tremolo feel to them but they have near perfect pitch and tone, and the guitar stays in tune perfectly with them.
No;Jeff’s picking technique and overall execution is cleaner & his L/R hand synchronicity is better;these are objectified quantities;subjectively,I love 💕 Brad’s playing as much as Jeff’s,however,l believe Jeff to be the better technician. Either way,they are arguably the greatest rock guitar duo ever❤😊
quit293 Not if you were around in 1982-3. Now, you can sit in the basement and watch on your PC or iphone and download every conceivable note captured instantly, for hours, days, weeks, months and years while collecting unemployment checks. Brad was a good team player, giving the song a flash of brilliance and tasteful licks and tricks. He did well for himself.
I knew there would be backlash about my comment. Damn! No where did I say that Brad was a horrible guitar player. I merely stated that he was fucking up and blatantly stealing part of Ed's live solo. Of course EVH didn't invent finger tapping(Italian classical acoustic players) or the slap funk(All those funk rock bass players), but Ed did those in his own style. As world class of player that Brad G is, I would just think he could create his own live thing. I bought that live 07-08 dvd of Poison. I just can't watch CC's solo. His playing is great(great guitarist), but when he goes into Ed's solo, it's so goddamn bad, it's embarrassing.
Michael Murphy yeah there sure are ALOT of haters here - lol. Brads "thing" has always been the whammy bar, so it only makes sense that he would feature it in his solo! Yes there is obviously a EVH influence (like many guitarist from that era), but Brad did come up with all kinds of whammy bar sounds and techniques - often pulling up on his Floyd (where as Eddie only set his to go down). Brads playing on the Speak Of The Devil live DVD is fantastic, as is his Starlicks instructional video. Brad and Jeff Watson were also one of the best (and most underrated) guitar tandems in rock!
God Almighty it's just one after another world class guitarists of the time that just blatantly ripped off Eddie's freakin' entire live solo. Damn, I was watching an absolute horrendous/horrible solo from CC Deville(Poison) and he tried like hell to do Ed's Eruption solo. It was embarrassing. Then I was watching an old Boston live show, damn same shit, of all people Tom Scholz is out there trying to tap his ass off. Just one after another, and these guys are great players, why can't they build a solo of their own? Now to watch Brad Gillis fuck up the slap/funk tapping that Ed does live and on the intro to Mean Street. I can't understand it. Hell Neil Schon has all his axes installed w/ a locking trem(even the les pauls lol), and I've yet to see him use it other than some minor bend he could do without a locking trem lol. I love all these cats so don't get me wrong but geez!
Joe R Maybe so, but Vito copied Eddie, and that's a FACT! I do love Vito's playing. He was certainly underrated in that bunch. Fantastic melodic phrasing. But the ground work is Ed's! Everybody knows that who knows rock music.
Brad Gillis ripping of Eddie? LOL And i suppose Eddie is ripping off Brad when Eddie uses the whammy bar? Or maybe Randy Rhoads is also ripping off Eddie when he came up with the Crazy Train solo? Point is just because someone does something similar to what Eddie did does not mean he's ripping off Eddie! Think man!
Treachery Dude you absolutely know nothing about what you're "trying" to relay. First Ed got the "first" Floyd trem. I hardly think(and if you can find somewhere that says different) brother Brad was using a whammy bar back in 77' when VH1 was being recorded. And second, there is no whammy bar at all in "Crazy Train". Dude u've got to be kidding. Randy himself said he was inferior to Eddie's playing, n tried to come up w/ something different(which he most certainly did). Randy was an incredible player.
stan yarbrough: Ripping off EVH? Well, if you want to go down that road. EVH ripped off Ace Frehley when he started finger tapping. Ace was finger tapping before Eddie.
That was one of the worst waste of time guitar solos I've ever seen in a concert setting. Doesn't require any rhythm or melodic phrasing to make whammy bar noises and pick fast. If he's better than that, he should've used that opportunity to show it.
+jonnyQuest Agree wholeheartedly. I'd like to shove that whammy bar up Brad's back side for as much as he overuses it. I don't even think his use of it is tasteful. It's just ridiculous noisemaking. I think Brad is far more capable than this crappy solo.
+freepressright Yes indeed lol It does look like Spinal Tap gone wrong...Back in the days,everybody wanted to be the new Edward Van Halen but Ed's just out of this world!!!Hi from France :)
+jonnyQuest i think this was performed 32 years ago.how old are you? the worst thing about this is that Night Ranger couldn't muster a decent song between them and the funniest thing is Brad looks like the 1st jock to get killed in any number of slasher/hacker Horror films from the same period!!!
Lol Long curly hair doesn't work,unless you're Robert Plant... But to be honnest,Night Ranger wasn't the worst band around. By the end of the 80',i was sick and tired by the "hey,i'm the new Eddie Van Halen thing!" Eddie's just so unique,just another league... Hi frpm France :)
+Steve Roberts I was 14 when this came out. I thought Night Ranger's guitar solos in their songs were excellent, but it's interesting how many guys can't handle the stage by themselves. They just fall apart, like Brad did here...
Now you know why Ozzy dumped his ass a Eddie poser. Couldn’t play Randy’s solos so he stole from Eddie. What a slap in Randy’s and the whole Ozzy crew and fans. What if any great stuff or influence has this clown done none. Not one tune did he write while with Ozzy infact the whole band hated him and still do to this day if even mention him they will just walk away. Randy was beyond everyone’s playing their was only one who could play his music rite that was Dime bag. Ozzy tried to get him but he wouldn’t go without his brother. I know I was there I was a roadie. I was lucky enough to hear Randy play every time he played for Ozz and Sharon. Brand wasn’t good enough to hold his jock strap.just search the tube for Dime bag playing in a local bar you will find his video of him playing so Randy stuff it will blow your mind!!!!!!!
Mediocre. I always tought his abuse of whammy bar and obsession with EVH was his worst enemy. Painful to listen. Come Eddie please and show this guy what to do in 4 minutes!
Waston and Gilis the dynamic duo of rock.
私、高校１年生の頃にレノンという貸しレコード屋でアナログのセブンウィッシーズを借りました。凄いヘビーなサウンドかと思いましたが、凄いバラード調でグッパイなどポップで大ファンになりました。それからノエビアのCMにもなるビックライフとか借りました。しかしながら大ヒット作のドーンパトロール、ミッドナイトマッドネス（全米チャートに入る）は高校卒業して予約してCDを手に入れました。この２枚のCDはいつも聞いていました。
ナイトレンジャーライブイン1983年は一度駅前のCDショップで見かけましたが、当時VHSは15,000円以上する為なかなか買えずレンタルショップでビデオとダビングの為ビデオデッキを借りました。現在でもレタリングシートも残っているままでカビも生えていません。ナイトレンジャーライブイン1983年のブラットギルスさんのソロは最初にバラード調で美しく入りしゃがにながらのアームダウンそこで彼ならではのミステリアスな部分を強調しながらのエモーショナルアーミングの展開から超速弾きへの展開とオージーとのライブビデオでも似たような展開でパフォーマンスをしているようですが、ライブイン1983年のほうが上かと思います。私が現在でも不思議なのはブラットギルスさんのソロの際聞き取りやすくする為に若干スピードを遅くしているような違和感を感じます。ブラットギルスさんはもっと早く弾けているはずです。
高校生の頃、初来日の新宿厚生年金会館に行きました。今でも当時買ったグッズがあります。
自分もギターをやってたので2人とも憧れのギタリストでした。懐かしいし出来る事なら戻りたい😅
しかしロックシステムとは言え、これだけアーミングしまくってチューニングが狂わないのはさすがや
フロイドローズの申し子よ…永遠なれ！🎸
Brad Gillis is one of the most badass players in history.
当時ギターソロの時、後ろはものすごく盛り上がっていたけれど手元の良く見えた前の方ではギターで何やっているのか解らずポカンと口開けて見ていた、いかにもギター弾きという感じの人が多かったのも覚えています。
ある意味黒船来航でしたね。
You wanna see some guitar pyrotechnics, Brad Gillis is your man. He's in a class by himself.
No..thanks!
AMEN or LIKEWISE!
3 word for an amazing guitarist ,especially someone that filled in for a man that had his life cut short RANDY RHODES. GIVE IT UP FOR MR. BRAD GILLIS
love those guys!
all I can say to the doubters is Ozzy Osbourne " Speak of the Devil" double live album.
I love that album so much. The audio mix is so perfect, and the performances to go along with it are so good :)
Card Shark , Golf Hustler Pimp From Beverley Hills He was NOT Good enough to play with Oz, in my opinion
Fishkingfred Play's you are definitely entitled to your opinion - but obviously Ozzy thought he WAS good enough
You can say that again, that album rocks! Those old Sabbath songs Never sounded so good before or since.

フェルナンデスがブラッドモデルまた作る事を祈ってます
Brad is an AMAZING guitarist. He's one of, if not my favorite post Randy axe men for Ozzy. Having said that - that was awful
Very out of character for Mr. Gillis. More of a squeal demonstration with a mix of whammy.
@@bshingledecker It was pretty bad...not very musical.
2:55 sounds like Dimebags later work with early Pantera in " The Sleep " solo .
2:05過ぎのパーカッシブ奏法？って当時のYoung Guitar誌にVan Halenのmean streetの楽譜があって、イントロが謎だが、ブラッドギルスのこれがいい線いってるんじゃないかって書いてあったのを覚えている。あれから40年以上過ぎて、mean streetを弾いてみようと思い、この動画を参考にしてる。

ブラッド自身もオクターブ上を叩いたりしてエディとは少し違うって当時インタビューで答えてましたね。
I have a lot of respect for Brad. Not just anybody can fill in for the late RR.
Exactly. What Brad did on Speak of the Devil is legendary.
Randy Rhoads wasn't Squat..Jake E Lee was Ozzys best Guitarist and everyone knows it
@@joeylarimore2448 You're half right. I like Jake the best but you can't completely discredit Randy.
@@joeylarimore2448 Wrong comment! Randy was WAY better than any Ozzy' s replacement! Only followed by Jake & Joe Holmes during "Ozzmosis" tour.
@@joeylarimore2448 In my opinion, that's debatable.
Eddie Van Halen influenced a lot of guitarists, including Mr. Gillis.
I was going to say the same thing I like him a lot but this sounds like a rip-off from live without a net
Bull
Edwina ripped off Brad
@@WaltPowellsAIProductions if this sounds like Live Without a Net, then Eddie ripped Brad off because this was in 1983, Live Without a Net was 1986
@@dalefromshelby8002 negative, the licks played on live without a net or from Eddie's guitar solos Eddie came out in 1978
Lol at the people saying Eddie ripped this off in live without a net because it came after
Very awesome upload!!
In the beginning of the video while he is playing softly there is a few seconds where it sounds as if he is playing Stevie Ray Vaughn's Riviera Paradise for a moment.
And the moment he slams the back of the neck is scary loud.
This is a superb recording to say the least.
The "Wow it's Brad factor" sets into play here.
I think "Speak ..." was the first Ozzy album i bought, then i blinked an Jake was on board....
He's totally in control --- has power on the same level as EVH --- that's difficulty 10 --- to BRAD it's not even pressure.
A Spinal Tap version of an EVH solo
lol Scott Was.
Lol! Best comment ever! Hahaha! Horrible!
You're damn right,EVH is untouchable!!! Hi from France :)
Brad Gillis is a Nicer person to meet, most of the time Eddie Van Halen is a Dick to his fans.
Speak of the devil live album is better than any evh tappy fest
The man can play!!!!!!

ご回答頂きありがとうございます❤
予測はある程度出来ていましたが自分でやってもこんな音にはなりません😂
Y'all can hate but goddamn that was impressive, I've been playing for 2 years (call me a noon I don't give a fuck) and this is far beyond me
Would be funny if he just played his solo just up to 19 seconds and said Im done lol
To the modern rock/metal guitarists (if there ARE ANY, that is!), TAKE NOTE!!
0:01 is that somebody putting a goofy voice over Jeff Watsons introduction?
amazing!!!!
Yes, what you said is right!
To má být Eddie v jeslích?
Dimebag got alot of phrases and locks from him but never mentioned him as a influence. must have been if he was influenced by Randy rhoads.
Thank you,awesome comment!
2:13
how tf can you even play that?
i can here a little bit of killer of giants in there
That was awesome Guitar solo Brad lol
anyone ever see Spinal Tap?
Yes,it is as your saying.
Brad developed his work well!
Ridicolous to try imitate Eddy/randy to gain some money from Ozzy.
Brad is not so bad if He play in his own night ranger style.
In this show the solo was crappy circus Fantasy.
I like Jake ,too.

anybody can whammy the fuck out of a guitar.
Theres a method to his bradness

If you wanna place the intro to mean street in front of a crowd. PRACTICE IT FIRST
I like how he has the first model of the Floyd Rose with out the fine tuners
I have first model ,too.
I don't need fine tuners like him.
+Guitarist From 1984
I believe he has like 4 or 5 of Floyd's original batch, I think he put one on a new PRS
Those first ones were a nightmare lol. I actually thought he fitted a Series 1 floating tremolo, but can't blame the old floyd.
He still uses those models today. I bought a restored 1981 Floyd Rose with no fine tuners, and it was awesome. They have a somewhat vintage Fender tremolo feel to them but they have near perfect pitch and tone, and the guitar stays in tune perfectly with them.
ブラットギルスさんに対する世界的評価はあまりにも低いです。そうですブラットギルスさんは超凄いのです。自分には必要最低限の速弾きしか必要ないと雑誌で語っておりまして、〇ングギターの増刊号ではブラットギルスはレコードでは実力の半分しか出していない彼は凄い速弾きが出来ると書いておりました。実際、ソロライブではブラットギルスさんはドントテルのソロを一人でジェフさんのパートまで弾いていましたが、ジェフさんはライブではドントテルがあまりには速くて若干のミスピッキングを感じるのですが、
その時のソロライブではジェフさん以上の速さで普通に弾いておりました。
ブラットギルスさんはテクニックをひけらかすことなく、バンドバランスを
考えた音作りを考えていることを強く感じます。ブラットギルスさんでしたら８フィンガーやイングさんやポールさんぐらいの速弾きは簡単に出来るぐらいのテクニックは持ち合わせていると思います。私としてはもう少し速弾きブーム時代に最速速！！弾きをアピールしてくれればナイトレンジャーの評価は変わっていてくれたかなと思います。宜しくお願い致します。
確かにおっしゃる通り。彼は歌ありきのギターソロという考えのギタリストでした。だからテクニックはこういうソロの場で披露すればいいということですよね。あと個人的に彼が好きな理由はプレイはもちろんなんですがそのステージアクション。
見せることをよくわかってますよね。自分がソロ弾いてる時はもちろん、バッキングやジェフのソロの時でもちゃんと自分なりのアクションを決めている。そういうとこがカッコ良く、
個人的にはこの来日ライブは彼の魅力満載！と思っています。
I prefer his solo with Ozzy
It's the same solo almost
@@dalefromshelby8002 nah, this solo here almost has no form.
His talent(has he got any?) is million miles away from EVH!!! Hi from France :)
Jeff was amazing.... but Brad is the real player between the two.

For all of the live Gillis showcase solos I’ve heard, none are coherent.
Too much cocaine ;)
Is this Ozzy Osbourne?!
No, this is his son!
Please, take no more drugs!
Maybe Night Ranger
Coke break for the rest of the boys.....
Little creativity
True, but no slop in his playing.
I'm sorry, but he sounds like 12 year old going off on nothing in his bedroom. Jeff was always better.
Jeff is a HELL of a musician! This guy is ridiculous. Pure pyrotechnics for kids.
I can do most of this and more.
