Those shows at the Ritz! These shows were recorded live for the Speak of the Devil record! How many of you have that live album in your collection??

Definitely a sad time….
Greg Kihn was Bay Area legend who I had known forever. Jack Russell and his band, Great White, opened many dates with us on the Big Life Tour.
Both were so talented. A big loss to our rock community.
My condolences to their family, friends, & fans 🙏

After touring the world with
@OzzyOsbourne
in 1982, I rejoined
@nightranger
& passed the torch in 1983 to Jake E Lee. He took over the helm and went on to have a great career with Ozzy!
It was great reconnecting with him a few years back at NAMM! 🤘

“67 Years Young”
The anticipation of a sold-out show is electrifying! It’s so important to keep your energy levels high & your mind focused before hitting the stage.
A healthy diet & a refreshing workout are my choices for staying in tip-top shape.
See ya tonight Nichols, NY!

“41 years ago Yesterday”
‘Speak of the Devil’ was released on November 27th, 1982. All Black Sabbath material recorded live at The Ritz in New York City. One of the heaviest periods in my life, and the time that I matured the most…..

What do you do when

shows up hours before the show with a shaved head? Quick, grab a wig & some fake blood. I will never forget the look of 80k hardcore heavy metal fans with their jaws wide open as he slowly ripped the wig off

Engaging an audience is not just about the music itself, but also about creating an experience that people will remember and cherish. It's about making each member of the audience feel like they are a part of something special.
So enjoy your next live show & make it memorable!
