He plays with such energy! That touch

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Aldridge backstage on the 1988 Motley Crue / Whitesnake tour in Hampton, Virginia. He was a complete gentleman and singed my drum sticks and Whitesnake CD. He took about ten minutes to talk to me and answer my questions, as he was genuinely interested in my opinion about the show. He's such a class act! He hasn't changed a bit in over 30 years as he hits his kit like they owe him money. Legend.

Tommy is such a good representative for human kind. God bless all who enjoyed this.

I don’t think any other drummers can personify hard rock drumming better than Tommy. The visual, the chops, the head shaking ,the flair…particularly the energy, Tommy has it all ❤

Holy shit! I've played this song for years and this legend just smoked every version I've studied. This "live" version is my new go to. Also let's applaud the sound guys that set sounded perfect

Nice to play with Randy again. To see him and hear him on recording is enough for me. imagine having the memory of playing with him. Your a legend Tommy.

He just shines without being arrogant!I love him!

Tommy is such a quality human being and amazing legend of a drummer. I feel honored to have been able to seen him perform with Randy back in 1981.

The True Legend of 80’s Rock. Anyone who was into metal back then knew Tommy was our generations Bonham.

This guy just blows my mind with his drumming. Hard hitting power house of a drummer. As much as I love Lee Kerslake's Original drummer on DOAM and BOO, my go to recordings are always the live versions with Tommy as they have more energy and you can see that in videos like After Hours. Thanks, Tommy, for keeping Randy's spirit alive. 73 years old and playing like a guy in his 20's. Fab stuff.

He's my favourite drummer and he lives up to the legend he is. Great guy overall

Gives me chills. The story and the feelings for Randy. The performance was awesome! Thanks for this Drumeo.

I always felt that Tommy was an underrated drummer, glad to see him still banging out the tunes at 73. Rock on brother 😁

What a wonderful, humble, soft spoken man. His humility and sheer gratitude at having been able to play with this incarnation of ozzy is a lesson we could all take a page from. If only 15 year old me had this video of Tommy then, hoo boy!

Just a look at Tommy's face and you can tell he's not playing in Drumeo's studio. He's gone back in time to the good old days, having a blast onstage with the whole band.

I’m not a drummer but damn! 73 years old and still doing this?!? WTF! Always think of seeing the look of amazement on Ozzie’s face when seeing Aldridge play Mr. Crowley. What a gentleman.

Truly a living legend! First, giving credit to Lee Kerslake, and all the other members of the band, then breaking down the song. His work on Bark at the Moon is great, and so tasteful. Keep up the great work sir!

@@xulphyteTommy is a good Christian man, Southern born and raised. That may not make much sense in your worldview - heavy metal musicians from the deep South that believe in God?? Yes. Even Ozzy is a Christian. We are literally the founding fathers of heavy fucking metal. Open your mind..

I've seen Tommy playing drums in concert with various bands since 1983. I've never sought him out to hear him talk nor did I know any of his back history during the Ozzy years. I've always thought that Tommy was one helluva drummer, but now after watching this video, I have absolute respect for the man. What a great, sincere, and genuine person.

He must have really had a great relationship with Randy. Dude speaks so highly of him. Much respect to you, Tommy. Our hats off to you.

an absolute legend. Tommy Aldridge 🤘rock on 🤘

this video was very inspiring. 72 years and a whole lot of vitality, tommy aldridge is an absolute bestial player. so precise, so strong, you can tell how much he has put into his craft. thank you for this video

That is just jaw-dropping...and like all great musicians, he recognizes and respects other talented soundsmiths. Nothing but love, Mr. Aldridge!

Most solid band in the early 80’s. Four absolute beasts. What a great drum thru.

Probably three of the most talented rock musicians ever put together randy ,Aldridge and rudy

It warms my heart to hear this wonderful man speak so nicely about Randy Rhoads. Tommy is 100% class, and long live the music of RR

Tommy's chops are legendary. He and Kerslake both showed their percussive virtuosity on this classic.

Hell ya!!

I was a fan of Tommy Aldridge when I was a young kid. I was a stoned metal head to the core and music was a massively huge part of my life. Whenever I watched Tommy play, I knew I was watching total greatness.

I remember see Tommy playing the drums with Randy un the rare televisión program ,I was Impressed!!.. Up! Tommy Aldridge....

Love his drumming! Full of power and energy! One of the best metal songs ever! 🤘🏻

Living legend right there! Thank you Tommy for giving mortal drummers an example to emulate.Your skill as a musician is only out weighed by your humbleness!

your a living legend

I was starting high school when this song came out , still on my playlist. Tommy is around my father’s age and still is on point ! Hell yeah ! Keep rocking those triplets

Tommy is a LEGEND!

I love the way Tommy plays a simple rock beat, but with real power and precision. His snare and kit in general sound amazing in this video. The fact he's so humble too, really makes him endearing.

​@@MrDJELEDJEif i could afford 12 crashes that give me different sounds, I'd put them too on my kit

Legend. Tommy brought the drum parts out in the spotlight. I was 14 when I got my first Pearl Kit. This was the first song I taught myself. Very fun to play . Drum legend,,,one of the greats.

Tommy Aldridge is a legend... Nothing more to say.

I can’t believe he can still play like that. He’s like a freak of nature !
