Re: Letter from Randy 6th March 1980

Holy shit, that is the first time that I have heard that the Osbourne's think Bob's tapes belong to the record company. I should not be surprised. I would imagine the Osbourne's would not want those tapes to come out at all. I think most people still believe Ozzy wrote all of his own material. Those...

Re: Letter from Randy 6th March 1980

I was always under the impression that the band was going to be called Blizzard of Ozz. Which I kind of always thought sounded like an Ozzy band anyway. With all the dramas that followed it just seemed quite likely that the change was made by management to favor Ozzy in the legal disputes that was o...

Re: Letter from Randy 6th March 1980

Interesting that he says the band was already called Ozzy. I thought the narrative was the band was always going to be called Blizzard of Ozz. Then after the first album was done the just started promoting them as Ozzy.

Jackson American Series Rhoads

Jackson have released a trem and hardtail versions of a 24 fret Rhoads guitar. If I was to go that way it would be the hardtail. I do not mind the reverse head stock but I am thinking they are a bit to pointy for me now. Without a doubt I would smash the corners of the wings. Also here is the promo...

Re: The footage the interviews! Sad it was canned

To true, there seemed to be massive scope creep and the documentary was turning into who can I meet instead of telling the Randy Rhoads story. Not only that there was some negative vibes coming out about the interactions he was having with some people. Jesus imagine how good a documentary about Rand...

Re: Ozzy Death

Dude you are upset about talking honestly about a person. Do you guys honestly have a time period before you can talk about a person that is such a weird pasty white thing.

Re: Ozzy Death

I find it very disrespectful to talk about this so soon after the guys funeral. It's like relatives rubbing their hands at a wake waiting for their cut of their wealth.. It's shit antics and I would be the first one to call them all. Keep it for another time OK. Where I come from it is perfectly ac...

Re: Ozzy Death

Easy to be a know-it-all keyboard warrior and spout your negativity on how it all should have been. Dude Ozzy was involved in making some amazing music but there is no need to sugarcoat it. He ripped people off, financially and creatively . There is no know it all keyboard warrior bullshit about it.

Ozzy Death

Seems that Ozzy has died today. That is crazy close to his last gig. The three Randy albums, if we include tribute, are by far his best work. It is a shame that his awful business decisions have really tainted his image in my opinion.

An interesting listen, there are a couple things that seem odd in this interview but it still is a good listen.

Re: Quiet Riot 1979

I can not remember the exact price but I can remember thinking that it was absurd. Funny though, the one for sale on reverb now, like I thought the seller is saying that they have every only taken it out of the case for photos.

Re: Quiet Riot 1979

Remember when they did the limited run of the concord, I could not believe the price of those things. I always wonder if the people that bought them played them or at that price are they more like art pieces.

Re: Quiet Riot 1979

I hate to say it but I think the cream Les Paul is the guitar I think of when I hear Randy. The black Jackson is the one I used want but times have changed.
