Ultimate Rhoads

Im fine...Thanks for asking... Hows it going for you?

I guess it all boils down to our own definition of "Hands On".. When we start playing the guitar, we learn what we want to make it sound the way we want it to.. and Most of us learn how to do just that.. With him being a teacher,and not making a boat load of money doing so,, I have to imag...

Was he 'hands on' or going with advice from people who were? For example, with his Marshall's, was it that he knew specifically what he wanted or did he discuss the subject with the guys at Marshall and go with their advice? As for different pickups from the Sandoval to the Jackson, again, isn't it...

I have a different idea. I think that who ever sold him the guitar at GC told him it was a '64. Lol. You know it is easy to not remember every detail fo your guitars. I think when it came to Randy he was like every one else. I eamn he did not work a gutiar shop and things were different back then. ...

Im not going to think he didnt know his guitars very well ,,,,,But I can think that whoever that did the interview may not have known the difference between a Super Distortion pickup,, and a Distortion plus pedal, and got the 2 confused ... I disagree, I think randy was very much just a player so p...

JS: Let's talk guitars. RR: I've got a '64 cream Les Paul and a '57 black Les Paul, with three pickups. The Flying V was made by Carl Sandoval. He used to work at Charvel and he went off on his own. He made it for me. It has a DiMarzio Distortion Plus on the treble position and a DiMarzio PAF in th...

Just on a side note, if I may interject ......... :wink: Tone is in your hands,, You can have the VERY EXACT GEAR, or even play on Randy's gear,Eddie Van Halens,Or even Slash' and you wont sound like them,, I find it funny that people spend Boo-Koo $$ trying to sound like a certain player....( Mainl...

Ive seen a pic of the band at the local Pub "The Plough" that Ozzy and the Bob , and Lee would go to when Randy was working on recording the Guitar tracks on the Blizzard/Diary albums,, This picture shows the entire band (Randy included) in a booth at the pub,, and Randy is holding/playing...

Thanks for the referance. I am not 100% convinced it happened, but certainly on the side that it was likely. I would love to hear Tommy Aldridges side of this, as much as I like reading Kelli Garni's perspectives on Randy, and he was certainly close to him to know very intimate details, theres an i...

Slager! NICE! I think we all got the point, I hope. I also heard that Adolf had a dog that loved him and you forgot - he made the trains run on time. But life ain't all about being efficient and their (the Nazi's) downfall was fear. That being said he might be the biggest douche mass murderer or ma...

[quote="GuitarJoe"]Heavy Metal Holocaust! Fan filmed, no sound, kinda blurry but hey it's new footage of Randy! He's towards the end: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omNO7pcTB4c[/quote
I believe this photo was taken around 1:50 in the video The OP posted..

From Heavy Block Radio Interview 1995 TR: “You probably have a plethora of memories, but do you have one special one that just touches your heart?” DR: “Oh yes, definitely. Of course, there could be many. I could refer way back, but fortunately, it was a short time before the accident, let’s put it...

Nope.. Thats not his playing or singing..
I think it's a band called Ventrol,, And the song is entitled Randy Rhoads.. Sang with a Very strong accent ,,
