//Keith H. (Huntsville Alabama) Hi, What are you doing these days? I remember the first time I saw you was with Black Oak...in the early to mid seventies in Huntsville Alabama (the openinng Act was a group called HYDRA). You did a GREAT drum solo, and everytime I hear a drum solo, I think of the drum solo you did here. ...Keith |

//Paul I listened to you you play for three decades and heard all the albums.I enjoyed your stuff on this Site and listened to them all. Saw you play in Berlin when the wall came down. Up there with DC, Stevie Vai and the boys during the Slip of the Tongue days. My brother Dave always praised you and I realise you are a very modest and human guy after reading your Site. Long may you continue in good health and keep us entertained for another three decades. Much respect,Paul (Devon England). |

//Carl Tommy, you should remember your Black Oak Arkansas days with some degree of fondness instead of it being a rip-off and a waste of time. You have every right to be mad at the guy with the initials B.S., but not the guys you went on stage with every night for 6 years straight. BTW; what made you want to try Solvang? Yah, the air's clean, but it's a little too quiet. |

| Great to see a heck of a drummer still rolling. I was always amazed by your agressive style and sound. I love it. I remember once I said to my friend Lee, when we were talking about Vinnie Paul after Dimes death, I said "hey maybe Ozzy will pick him up." his reply, "naw, VP is to agressive" Hey I replied, What do You mean, Just listen to Tommy Aldridge!! I wish he'd never left Ozzy!! then we wouldn't have to have this discussion!!!! |

| I am 53 years old, have been drumming and gigging for 25 years, Not a Rock star but Love it!! Tommy you are one of my all time favorite drummers, from back in Winterland, SF days when you were with BOA (then I was teenager standing in front of the stage with a chick on my shoulders flashing J Dandy, but I was watching you play) really injoyed you with Pat Travers, Thanks Tommy for all of your influence and exiting drumming to listen to and watch, your the best, take care |
| Wednesday, December 3rd 2008 - 02:50:03 AM |
| Hi Tommy.Just wanted to say hello and thanks for coming way up to Inverness, north Scotland to play with the rest of the Thin Lizzy guys. It was an awesome gig.Been a huge fan of your drumming for years and we have travelled far and wide to watch you and other great drummers and bands. To see you play the drums in our own small town was quite simply an honour and a privilige. Thanks again for coming up to play Inverness and for the many years of inspirational drumming. |
| Thursday, November 27th 2008 - 07:27:29 AM |
| Ive seen you perform with bands ranging from Pat Travers to Ozzy and you have never had a bad nite. Your studio work is topline. I have always been impressed with your style, passion and execution. You have a true drummers soul. |

| I've seen you in concert twice once in around 1988 or 1989 with Whitesnake & around 2000 maybe if memory serve's me right with Ted Nugent & was excited to watch you play,i am not a drummer myself,maybe one day,i really don't play any instrument really,i enjoy watching other's like yourself play,i love music rock & roll really,i've alway's thought since i first heard & saw you play in video's back in the Ozzman's day's or some one else that you are the greatest drummer ever,many time's at any concert i've attended when people talk music your name come's up alway's,any time i can think of when people talk music whether at a bar or house party or wherever i hear your name come up,it show's how much people love & respect you Tommy,i love watching Whitesnake's dvd Still of the night & seeing you play,me & my friend's are just....dumb founded by how amazing you are,well i've babbled your ear off enough,so thank's to so many great concert's & video's. God Bless You & Your Family:) |
| Friday, November 21st 2008 - 05:19:08 AM |
| Hi Tommy,you are one of my biggest influences since I realized you masive double bass aproach and incredible drum sound,the very "next step" between the 60's/70's hard rock style into the "heavy" modern drum style...I miss you Man,I usually often got a lot of fun seeing your videos and listen your discograpy...THAXX 4 YEARS OF ISPIRATION!!! |

| First allow me to say the pleasure is all mine..... I have seen you live twice. First w/Ozzy 1983 (a fantastic rhythm section) and most recently w/Thin Lizzy. I have waited to do this for a long time however I have waited long enough. I have played drums for 36 years. I became aware of you when someone turned me on to Pat Travers Crash and Burn record. I feel that you and Mars were more than likely one of rocks most solid rhythm sections. I am completely entranced whenever I hear some of your fills or solo's. your independent coordination and syncapation leave one to gawk and dream. As I got older and began expanding my musical tastes, Manu Catche, Omar Hakim etc., I find myself always coming back to your solid, down right ass kicking drumming skills that seem to get better with time. Though not an author, should I ever write a book on drumming, you will not only be mentioned, I promise you a chapter..... My wife is a successful local musician, acoustic guitar and vocal....as far from rock as you can get. However when you came to town w/Thin Lizzy I made sure she was brought along to see your skills first hand. Suddenly she too is a fan! She is the director of the Louisville School of Rock in Louisville Kentucky. Too much to say. God bless you and your family. We will always be lifetime fans.... Martin Yost Louisville Kentucky |
