Saw Ozzy and Motorhead July 2, 1981 at The Swing Auditorium. Over 8 months later, Randy was gone. Brad Gillis stepped in and truly honored these great songs and Randy's legacy.
Brad was really the first coming of Jake. There is a lot of Brads sound and Technique in Jakes playing. It would have been veer interesting to hear an album with Ozzy and Brad.
I was just 2 years away from going to concerts then. I went to many concerts in Landover and the Capitol Centre, as well as seeing the Harlem Globetrotters there in 1980, as a kid with my dad.
Brad Gillis was probably my first biggest influence in wanting to learn guitar. My buddy game me a copy of "Speak of the Devil" and I was like 12 at the time and just blown away by the sound of that live guitar even though I had no clue who it was. Years later when I started playing in a band and covering Black Sabbath songs, I couldn't help myself but play the Brad Gillis versions that I loved so much! I LIKED IT! After reading the so called "history" of the making of this album, It was way off what the official story went.
I got to see this tour with Brad Gillis, and I had forgotten what a great job he did here. Taking Randy Rhodes place is a nearly impossible feat, but Brad did a great job in a really tough situation. What an excellent player he is!
Yeah and he learned all the black Sabbath playlist and Randy's songs in an amazing two weeks it was amazing what he did here nobody expected it either because he was playing for night ranger which they didn't expect that he could play metal that good.
sono ormai un vecchio metallozzo.... non avevo mai cagato più di tanto Ozzy... solo adesso lo sto ascoltando soprattutto dal vivo... Devo dire che è veramente bravo... un vero animale da palcoscenico... viva il METAL 🤘🖕
A primeira vez que vi esse cara tocar foi numa reprodução de dvd em um festival no Castelo do Rock em São Luís-Ma. ainda não tinha visto uma intensidade na guitarra com gosto e vontade de tocar igual.
remember kids no tab no pitchshifting to slow it down,no you tube vids showing you how its done back then ,you got few days to learn it from ear then your playing in front of thousands,f that.
LMAO! Brad, you are a fkn BADASS! I played Bass with Brad for two (Fri & Sat @ Crolls/Alameda) gigs w/Alameda Allstars, back in the day, one of my fondest memories... Cool dude and Badass Guitar Hero.
How many rock/metal bass players can "play the bass AND 'BANG THEIR HEADS' " AT THE SAME TIME? In Rudy's defense, I DO LOVE THE WAY HE'S "GETTING INTO THE MUSIC!"
Its a tough call here. Brad had little time to prepare. and he is one of the greats for sure but this just hit different. I think with more time he could have hit the bar, however he did go back to NR. I think they made sure they held Brad back to respect Randy and thats why he left so soon.
how ozzy isn't busting out In tears by seeing its Brad and not randy is beyond me. also Randy's death is responsible for the shitty ways ozzy acted to other members. because he couldn't get over the death and "they're not randy"
I had tix to see Ozzy in 82 (I was 16). (Boston). My girlfriend (now my wife) called to tell me Randy died. It was a shock. What was more shocking was how Brad played, pulled it off flawlessly and saved the tour. Total Legend / Unit!
As much as love the "Bark At The Moon" era, the 1982 "Diary Of A Madman/Speak of The Devil" era is, STILL, MY FAVORITE! TO THIS DAY, I'm, STILL, FLOORED by Brad's playing!
Rhoads fan for 40+ years here Gillis had his own style and sound, AND he could shred. I think his sound is still amazing after 42 years and I was a Rhoads freak in Jr. High..
Goofy question. Was this recording "fixed" in the studio? There are times when the guitar seems like it has a light double-track where the left is slightly different than the right channel. eg. Just before 2:47, there is a whammy dive that doesn't appear to exist in the right channel of the audio.
Rudy was selling it boy 😂. Brad stepped up and learned Randy’s stuff in just a few days. Thats not really that easy 😅. But Brad ended up leaving because he didn’t want to deal with Ozzy and Sharon. Smart move. Look what happened to Jake.
Rudy Sarzo's a living legend and evidently one hell of a guy. However, the "punching the bass" stuff is as cringy as his licking his bass with Whitesnake.
Kudos to Brad for filling in but just was not quite the same. You listen to Randy play the same song and it's different in a good way. Nothing against Brad who is a awesome guitar player in his own right.
It’s a shame Ozzy treated Brad like shit for the whole tour. Brad worked his ass off on very short notice to get show ready. To be fair, Ozzy was heartbroken and drunk all the time.
You can tell ozzy wasnt himself. Im pretty sure this concert was lip synced or they atleast dub it over his real vocals so you couldnt really hear him. You can kindve tell when he talks after the track stops. His voice is extremely low and damaged. Id probably go on a drug binge too if i lost my best friend so tragically.
In my opinion, turning to drugs/alcohol to "escape the pain/trauma" is the WRONG WAY! In fact, in my opinion, by doing so, you're ACTUALLY DOING MORE DAMAGE, PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.
@@AngelofAnguish I dont disagree with you at all. But majority of people are always gonna take the easy way out instead of getting theraputic or even religious help. Especially someone with a established history of drug abuse like Ozzy. Not saying that makes it okay but im just that it is a facy that cant be ignored within our society. Admitting the problem is the first step.
Brad played a killer guitar, but his stage presence here is awkward looking in my opinion. Artificial in a way. I guess if people in the front row are screaming Terrible things because your not RR it was Artificial. Huge props for muscling through it. Only a handful of people in the world who would have even attempted it!
Brad was the best man for the job at that time obviously we would rather have Randy but under the circumstances Brad gillis did a 10 out of 10 in his playing and performance.
Even back then, Ozzy shuffled across the stage like an old man.
Is because back then is when he was sniffing all the coke and whatever else to
I just started watching this. Does he do the penguin clap?
WTF you talking about?
How is it that the sound from analog systems of 40+ years ago sound better than today’s digital?
Brad Gillis (Night Ranger) really did an amazing performance with Ozzy. One of my favorite guitarist.
Add in the fact he had like one month prep time ..Amazing guitarist
Brad and Jeff are two of the most underrated guitarist ever.
Yes he did ! Just saw the video Brad Gillis did an amazing job after the passing of Randy Rhoads! Wow 🤘
@Daron Brown I think He got the call, flew to New York and had about a week before Bernie left.
Why did he not stay with Ozzy?
The way ozzy walks looks like my grandma looking for her medication lol
pretty amazing that Brad practised 14hours a day for four days to learn ozzy songs before the first concert
Randy is one of my top two all time but Brad's version here is stunning
That's pressure folks. Ozzy, Sharon and the fans with your fingers under a microscope. Great job Brad.

Well said. Absolutely agree. Jake was my favorite Ozzy guitarist so it makes you wonder what could have been.
Dude Speak of The Devil!! LIVE!!! Brad fuckin rules man
I saw them live in '82 at the Capital Centre in Maryland. Brad did an amazing job! Ozzy is one hell of a showman.
LIKEWISE!
I was just 2 years away from going to concerts then. I went to many concerts in Landover and the Capitol Centre, as well as seeing the Harlem Globetrotters there in 1980, as a kid with my dad.
Does anybody even fathom the talent in this line up?

Brad kicked ass!
MTV played this in 83/84. I remember being a very little kid & freaking out because the guy from Night Ranger was good as EVH.
Rare footage of Tommy Alderidge when he played Sonor drums instead of Yamaha
Ok
Good eye...otherwise always played Yamaha
Oh
Incredible pressure Brad was under. I'm glad they treated him better than Metallica treated Jason.
You sure on that 1!? Sharon treats people like unwiped ass....
@@innerdemonpat9027agreed she treats everyone like trash hope she gets what's coming to her soon
@@innerdemonpat9027yea, Jake is an example of Sharon's mistreatment.
sono ormai un vecchio metallozzo.... non avevo mai cagato più di tanto Ozzy... solo adesso lo sto ascoltando soprattutto dal vivo...
Devo dire che è veramente bravo... un vero animale da palcoscenico...
viva il METAL 🤘🖕
Brad had a tough job. He handled it well.
Brad stepped up 👍
The ‘80’s had the best big rock stage scenery
Brad Gillis is awesome!
Оззи великолепен!
Whoa, is Ozzy really singing this? It sounds exactly like the recording. Wahi' Valleys
A primeira vez que vi esse cara tocar foi numa reprodução de dvd em um festival no Castelo do Rock em São Luís-Ma. ainda não tinha visto uma intensidade na guitarra com gosto e vontade de tocar igual.
remember kids no tab no pitchshifting to slow it down,no you tube vids showing you how its done back then ,you got few days to learn it from ear then your playing in front of thousands,f that.
Talent back then was on a whole other level, music in general was on another level.
LMAO! Brad, you are a fkn BADASS! I played Bass with Brad for two (Fri & Sat @ Crolls/Alameda) gigs w/Alameda Allstars, back in the day, one of my fondest memories... Cool dude and Badass Guitar Hero.
Pretty wild seeing Rudy Sarzo up there with Ozzy and Brad. 🤘
Holly Bologne, Brad Gillis should be paid billiojs for that solo
Brad was fucking killin' it!!
참 급발한 사고 렌디로즈 사고로..친구 베이스 루디 사죠 ..드럼 ..타미 알리지지... 최고의 아밍의 마법사 브레드 길리스가 급하게 참여한 최강의 앨범이라고 생각합니다..👍👍👍
All that twisting and turning by Rudy Sarzo looked so cool back in the day. Now it just looks kinda ridiculous. LOL.
How many rock/metal bass players can "play the bass AND 'BANG THEIR HEADS' " AT THE SAME TIME? In Rudy's defense, I DO LOVE THE WAY HE'S "GETTING INTO THE MUSIC!"
I wonder how much of this is live. I very much doubt much of the vocals.
Even back then the audio from live shows would be post mixed in a studio.
This is why you multitrack a live show. To fix the shitty vocals afterwards 😂
Sounds to me like they mixed a studio track in alongside whatever live bits were useable.
You're right on the money! The vocals are 100% dubbed and my suspicion is parts of the guitar parts as well.
Its a tough call here. Brad had little time to prepare. and he is one of the greats for sure but this just hit different. I think with more time he could have hit the bar, however he did go back to NR.
I think they made sure they held Brad back to respect Randy and thats why he left so soon.
Just heard Brad play this with Night Ranger. He's even better now!
Brad doesn’t get enough credit for filling those huge shoes.
when will Sharon release the footage of randy... we all know they recorded everything and have full concert recordings with video that were pro shot.
I don't know. I think she os so business savy and money hungry, if it existed, we would have seen it by now.
Maybe she feels some responsibility for his death by employing that fuck-up Andrew Aycock to drive the bus?
how ozzy isn't busting out In tears by seeing its Brad and not randy is beyond me. also Randy's death is responsible for the shitty ways ozzy acted to other members. because he couldn't get over the death and "they're not randy"
Wasn’t this like a month or two after Randy died?
Even less.
Yeah at the most
Sad and wrong
Brad finished the American tour then went over sea’s for that tour!
Ozzy walks like he crapped his diaper and trying to not let the poopie fall out
I had tix to see Ozzy in 82 (I was 16). (Boston). My girlfriend (now my wife) called to tell me Randy died. It was a shock. What was more shocking was how Brad played, pulled it off flawlessly and saved the tour. Total Legend / Unit!
louquissímo
Now I find Brad was the most skilled guitarist of Ozzy's partners.
nope.
Randy Rhoads
jake e lee and randy rhoads
Gonna meet Brad today
Randy was obviously better but hell of a job by Brad Gillis. Had no idea he was that good.
As much as love the "Bark At The Moon" era, the 1982 "Diary Of A Madman/Speak of The Devil" era is, STILL, MY FAVORITE! TO THIS DAY, I'm, STILL, FLOORED by Brad's playing!
go back and have a listen to the tribute album, then listen to speak of the devil
not so sure hes obviously better
Rhoads fan for 40+ years here
Gillis had his own style and sound, AND he could shred.
I think his sound is still amazing after 42 years and I was a Rhoads freak in Jr. High..
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I see Ozzy doing an impression of Joe Biden walking as he rocks this song
Why is the other video of this same live version not showing up? Thanks for having it up.
Brad did good.
It was the moment that Ozzy realizes that he can go on he had to please the fans
Ozzy’s voice is like if an angel cried ( also ozzy looks like a 4 year old looking for his mom here 😂😂😂)
Still glad Jake E. Lee had the gig for a couple of albums.
Please tell me where I can find this video!!!!???!!!
How did they get Brad always wondered
Brad gillis e foda

Ozzy couldn't go wrong with Brad Gillis, Rudy Sarzo (I think), and Tommy Aldridge!
1:15 Teh le le le le lehhhh 🗣🗣🗣
Rudy was selling it boy 😂. Brad stepped up and learned Randy’s stuff in just a few days. Thats not really that easy 😅. But Brad ended up leaving because he didn’t want to deal with Ozzy and Sharon. Smart move. Look what happened to Jake.
That is floyd rose?
Yes Brad is playing a Floyd Rose on his Strat.
He and Eddie Van Halen and maybe another guitarist or 2 had the first Floyd’s
No, Kahler
Hear me out.. a movie based on Ozzys band life...played by Jack Black...
Rudy Sarzo's a living legend and evidently one hell of a guy. However, the "punching the bass" stuff is as cringy as his licking his bass with Whitesnake.
Kudos to Brad for filling in but just was not quite the same. You listen to Randy play the same song and it's different in a good way. Nothing against Brad who is a awesome guitar player in his own right.
Brad Gillis was killing it on the Diary tour, apparently. Given the pressure he was under he was amazing
Brad looks comfortable and he’s moving more than Randy
Yes Brad nails it but how about some props for Rudy, if I'm not mistaken!
Ozzy looked like an 80 year old here at the age of 35
Vocals are too loud (and overdubbed)
So fender stratocaster not for heavy metal TAKE THAT!!!!!
It’s a shame Ozzy treated Brad like shit for the whole tour. Brad worked his ass off on very short notice to get show ready. To be fair, Ozzy was heartbroken and drunk all the time.

I guess if people in the front row are screaming Terrible things because your not RR it was Artificial. Huge props for muscling through it.

I think his movement is pretty whacky, but it's kind of his style. It's impressive he can play well with that much movement.
Ya know, a band could record a perfect performance and someone would always complain. Jesus
great job but that strat sounds thin compared to rr les paul or his v
Rudy Sarzo was so cringy. Hated his on stage shenanigans. Just looked goofy and stupid. Belonged in a glam band not metal
Like Quiet Riot?
Love Rudy one of the better Bassists who actually knew how to play the instrument!
@@digenesakritas1107 I saw Rudy with Blue Oyster Cult, he was awesome!
@@tmurra2 I saw Rudy with Whitesnake good bassist with style.
True but he’s the best bass player Ozzy ever had except for Geezer.
Brad was the best man for the job at that time obviously we would rather have Randy but under the circumstances Brad gillis did a 10 out of 10 in his playing and performance.
