I didn't think Jason Becker played with DLR, I know he was supposed to but didn't the disease he has incapacitate him before he could actually perform?

And the answer to my question was Piledriver. Although technically speaking David Defeis didn't play on the album, but eh did help write it.

Jason plays on David's "A Little Ain't Enough" CD.

All correct (I didn't know about Rudy Sarzo playing with Ozzy though).

Here's another three for the Maiden fans:

What band members were in both Maiden and Samson?

3 pt: Who sold Adrian Smith his first guitar?
Describe it?
What did Adrian do with it later?


Have fun.

Rudy Sarzo played on Ozzy's Speak Of The Devil live album. A good next question (after these Maiden ones) would be to name the drummer and guitarist on that album.

I think the drummer is Tommy Aldridge. The guitarist is none other than Brad Gillis, the man who would be lost without his wammy bar! He was the second best guitarist in one of the worst groups of ALL TIME: Night Ranger!

Quick Ozzy story: When Randy Rhodes was in Chicago, he needed some work done on one of his guitars. He went to the place where I took guitar lessons back in high school. The guy who did the work, Jim, later went to work for Peavey corporate. Anyway, Randy let him backstage and he recorded the concert! I was going to buy a double tape deck (this was in like 1983 or 1984), put an ad in Hit Parader, run off copies and make some cash! However, between my $3.35 an hour job at Sizzler and my rather large beer consumption, I just never could swing the paper. Anyway, I still have the tape. It sounds almost exactly like "Tribute." Anyone know where "Tribute" was recorded at? I never could find it on the CD.

And thus concludes my "Three degrees of seperation with Randy Rhodes" story!
