Me playing with the Ozzy/Sabbath tribute Rhoads To Ozz

Just a little bit of me playing back in the mid-90's.

Sweet, man!! That's killer. Looks like you're having a blast!

It was always a lot of fun playing that music.

Video no longer available?

It's actually hosted on my YouTube page, and I just now played to be sure it was still working. It isn't opening, BD?

your videos playing for me Eric, and OMG Eric it's been years and I'm sure you know you could care less about the mistake at the 2 beats after he says "spreads his wings" after the video twists into the next part.....

anyway...you see how bad of a bad boy musician I am

for you, just another Friday night eat drink and be merry?

OR perhaps the 300.00 in your pocket at the end was the motivation with a free bar tab ---eh?

LOL! Yeah, I did manage to squonk that chord! Definitely one of those numerous onstage moments when I went "oh, crap!" I actually remember making that mistake, and all I could do was play through. I do a lot of looking at the neck as I play, and with the stage so dark at the moment, my hands wound up in the wrong spot. Not that it's an excuse, but that's what happened.

And actually, it was a Saturday night, and a $500 night with a free bar tab. It was an all-tribute night, with Rhoads playing first, and then I headlined with my Van Halen tribute the Atomic Punks.

I've done that so many time I can't remember. It always seems more important "later on" when someone has a camcorder rolling

Me, too! And besides the live video, I have a lot of studio recordings that upon hearing for several years, even now I catch little things here and there that make me think "I should have done this", or "that could have been done better". But oh well! Water under the bridge! The important thing is to learn from those mistakes, and hopefully evolve past them.

I can't wait to set foot on stage with a bass...so much better than playing the bagged cat!

I've had numerous performances on stage with my bagpipes over the 8 years I played them, some in competitions (very serious...no free beer or big bucks around, but stuffy Scottish military musicians abound!), some spur-of-the moment get up and play for some band or another. Bagpipes are an attraction for most people, not music. And that's what drew me to them and repulsed me. Again--good experience, but not the kind a kid wishes to have. Maybe when I'm 40 and sentimental?

More likely, you'll be like the rest of old codgers.

Old and senile!

Besides the awesome bass, that singer's got a voice, man, does a pretty decent Ozzy too!

Al did do a great Ozzy impersonation. Sadly, he retired completely from the music scene.

That is a shame, I hate to see talent not being used, but I suppose, if he's happy, thats more important.
