That solo was off Desolation Boulevard? Andy Scott could tear it up too, I have seen the odd rare live video and they were truely amazing, too bad they were stigmatized with that teeny bopper tag, kinda like how the mighty VH have ended up being tagged an 80's Hair band. Pisses me off.

Fuck, didnt know that about the Sweets drummer..
Are any of them still alive ??

Closest I got to seeing them, (Plexi Head may have been at this gig)
was watching their original lead singer Brian Connely
at the Fern Tree Gully Hotel singing with a backing band,
back in the late 80's (I think)

Did all the big hits, pretty cool, he was fucking bloated, like Ozzy
was when he was drinking bigtime in the 80's

Man, that was another lifetime..

Plexi could probably kick properly back then

Hey ya cheeky bastard, can't kick now and couldn't back then.

Na missed that one, Brian is dead too, but I guess you saw that one coming when ya saw him live.
He could fucking sing though.

I always remember Ozzy at Festival Hall in 97, turned up expecting a bloated old has been, he walked out like he had been in the gymn for 12 months and just completely tore the place to shreds. One of the most consistent performances I have ever seen, people forget that Ozzy can sing his ass off.

So ya planning on heading over for VH MK4?

I saw Ozzy in Sydney on that same tour, he and Zakk blew
us away.. I was stoked to see this, as I knew it would be the
last chance, and I have been a lifelong Sabbath/Ozzy fan...

As for VH, well..... I promised my wife a trip home every
year (to the USA) Im hoping they either keep going until
the end of the year, or make it to Oz..

Will be a big decision to fly across mid year...

If possible, we will be there !!

LOL

Nice one Mark.
