I don't believe any Arizona footage exists either. People will say anything to get attention...

It certainly appears that way. If you look on youtube, sure you find some live stuff from The Capitol Theater, but not enough to make me believe that EVERY show was filmed over an 11 yr period. I'm assuming this venue was the stop in that neck of the woods, so they probably had Nationals in there at...

BS to sell more books?

There is no reason why those guitars can't have name brand USA made hardware on them at that price point. $2k is alot of money for a guitar. At that price, you are in Jackson USA territory... even closing in on boutique builders like Suhr and Anderson. Why is the only "in progress" picture...

Well, $2k is on the upper end of the scale for a new guitar. Because of that, the people interested in buying that guitar are going to want details on what hardware is one there. For that price, people expect real Duncans/Dimarzios/EMG etc... pickups. Schaller, Gotoh, Planet Waves, etc... bridge and...

Okay... $2000 for a guitar built by an unknown builder. That seems fair... :roll: How do we know this isn't one of those cheap Chinese copies that sell for $400 and the 4 to 6 week "build" time is more like the time it takes these to ship from China or wherever? Do you have pics of the bui...

I like George alot... He has a very unique style and has played some great stuff. Lately though, things have gone a little downhill... age creeps up on the best of them! Jake is great too. I love his work with Ozzy and also his "solo" stuff with Badlands. More importantly though, I'm waiti...

Dude If you mean they said "hey man you can do better than that" well yeah maybe. I certainly can't imagine their input being much more than that. I really don't know why there is even speculation on this? Again Max Norman does not talk about input from other band members during the actua...

This sounds pretty accurate.

It wasn't Lee who said that, it was Don Airey.

Thanks alot! I'm gonna have alot of fun with those backing tracks!

Diary is awesome... Both the guitar part and the orchestration in the bridge gave me chills... What a mature piece of music. Amazing!

I would bet that if Randy hadn't died, the O's would have tried to minimize his contribution as well as time went on. I also have a hunch after hearing about all these lawsuits, etc... that one of the reasons behind Randy becoming unhappy with his situation were because of the same issues that Daisl...

I'll tell ya what... I would pay $150 dollars for that documentary if Bob, Lee, Max Norman, Pete Mertons, etc... were interviewed in it. To me, that is an item that actually has alot of value. Actually, as long as the Osbournes aren't running the show I'd bite at that price.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel either. I was putting off ordering this until I heard about what it was like and could get it in a store. I also don't really want the vinyl, cross, or the CD's for that matter (I still have the original CD pressings from the early 90's which are in good shape). The onl...

The guy was instructed to not leave a little square on the stage. Exactly! In "Off the Rails" Rudy mentions that quite a few times. If you watch the NM footage, Randy gets out of the way when Ozzy is on his side of the stage as well. Pretty lame to be told how to conduct yourself onstage....

I dunno, I like Rudy's take on OTM. His basslines are pretty groovin. Actually, I like his bass tone as well. It cuts well, isn't tinny and has balls. It stood out to me on the DIO "Holy Diver Live" DVD as well. Since I'm the only guitar player in my band, I wish my bassist would get that ...
