Pat Badger - Extreme

Fantastic.

Sorry Chuck, Rudi most certainly did NOT Play on Blizzard and Diary. That was the great Bob Daisley. 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.

Thanks you're correct he played in _support_ of those Ozzy albums on tour with Ozzy.

Anyone remember Faster Pussycat? pure silly-ness, but it was fun...
Can't think of the bassist name tho (not sure if I ever knew, come to think of it)

Faster Pussycat had a few bassists as they were coming up I seem to remember. During their hey-day, I think it was Kelly Nickels.

I had to wiki it. Kelly was replaced by Eric Stacey right before the Debut hit.

And Kelly was in LA Guns..

Alec Jonn Such of Bon Jovi.

People seem to forget that Bon Jovi was a hair metal band.

And that Such' bass lines were really important to that band's overall sound, he certainly gave classics like "Living on a prayer", "Lay your hands on me" and "Keep the faith" memorable bass lines.

 

[Stinsok]

Why did they fire him?

 

[dannoman]

Because he leaked out that there was a ghost player (Hugh Mcdonald)
on the slippery when wet and New Jersey albums.

He only played on the first two that i know of.

Johnny Rod-W.A.S.P.

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.....

When the hell did blacky lawless start playing guitar? Lol

Pepsi Tate from British (Wales) glam band TIGERTAILZ. Great player and all around nice guy from what I hear. Unfortunately he passed away a few years ago at 42 of pancreatic cancer. =(
