Rachel Bolan of Skid Row was the only one I could think of right off the bat. Don't know much of the band's work, but just from Youth Gone Wild and 18 and Life, the man has nice tone, and throws in a couple tasty licks here and there, not to mention a sexy P-Bass in the 18 and life vid. I also remember the bassist from Bulletboys having nice tone too (name escapes me) Any thoughts on the matter? |

It's really hard to tell who played what back in the day. They REALLY WERE SIGNING BANDS BASED ON "THE LOOK'.
I grew up listening to the stuff. I'd like to think the guys playing that I grew up listening to REALLY PLAYED THEIR LINES (In the studio). There's lots of horror stories about "ghost-playing" back then. Whatta shame..... |

My favorite player from that scene was Greg Chaisson from Badlands....not necessarily "glam" though....but he was a helluva player.

He's also played for Dio, Yngwie Malmsteen, Blue Oyster Cult at one time or another. |

In fact the only Ozzy albums Rudy was on were Speak of the Devil and Tribute.
Metal Health I believe was mostly Rudy with Chuck Wright on bass.
Slip of the tongue was Rudy I believe but the Big 1987 Whitesnake album (here I go again, still of the night) was Neil Murray.
Not trying to bag on Rudy at all. He's a great player. Just trying to set the record straight.
