I wanted to let everybody know that Ralph had knee surgery last Thursday and is doing great!! I saw him at the Whitesnake show last night, and he'll be at the viper tonight, just won't be jumping all over the place. He's been hurt for months and still going out every night and giving it his all. He had to wait till a break in our schedule to get things fixed. The guy rocks!! I just wanted to let everyone know, in case you wanted to send him some get well wishes...

Oh man, sorry to hear the news but you'll be much better off now with a lot less pain. I can't believe you're returning to the limelight so quickly. You are truly dedicated and get well soon. I'll be seeing you guys in Vegas next month. Keep on rockin'!!!!!

Get well soon, Ralph! I too am amazed. You must really love what you do for a living to be back at it so quickly. [Smile]

Yeah, get well soon, man! I'm possibly taking fresh meat to the Whisky Sat. night, and I know you guys will blow them away as you usually do... Rest up that knee, will ya?

Damn, I had no idea! If i didn't think you were amazing before Ralph, I certainly do now! I'll be praying for a speedy recovery.

You bring too much joy to too many people for you to be out of commission for very long. Get well babe!

I'll be praying for you to Ralph! I am also bringing new blood to the show in Phoneix and can't wait to see how they will be blown away.

Thanks for Rockin!

Despite the way Ralph looks in this picture from before Saturday's show, he still gave it his all at the Whisky:

Ralph continues to amaze me, performing through various ailments, problems and everything else that goes on. He still puts on a hell of show where nobody would suspect all the crap that happens behind the scenes.

Great seeing you again Ralph, and thanks for everything you do!! [Big Grin]

Not sure where he found the energy, but it was also nice to see Russ (just a day after his baby was born) doing great, smiling and doing Eddie style scissor jumps!

Thanks for the great show and great times guys!!

Dude... take it easy on that knee man.

Easy up on the Pilates!

You need a vacation...

Cheers to you speedy recovery... and don't get hooked on Vicodine! As a matter of fact give me you prescription... I'll hang on to it for you.

Best wishes, Ralph. I've had knee injuries, I know they're no fun; you're in my prayers, amigo, hoping for a speedy recovery.
