Ultimate Rhoads

Very nice! I have two of their straps, and they're both high quality craftsmanship and very comfortable. I've got a PDV strap and a Burmese python inset - the inset makes the skin look really sharp. I want to get one like this for my Explorer now, but more on the white side.

I guess this was in fact discussed before, but after finding it, it turns out it was a different interview and nowhere near as irksome as the quote from his book was for me (http://www.ultimaterhoads.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5388). I find the whole, "he's only a legend because he died" ...

Sorry if this has been brought up before here, but I'm quite surprised to hear what Lemmy says about Randy in his autobiography, "White Line Fever", not to mention the fact that he spells his name wrong: Randy Rhodes was Ozzy's guitarist back then, and he was a much bigger deal. I believe ...

Never noticed this topic before! I'm 43, but with the mind of a child.

Great looking skins! When do you think the python straps will be available, and can you give a ballpark figure on what price will be?

Looks and sounds fantastic, great job!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Joel, very much appreciated!

Both Amazon and Chapters in Canada claim May 16. I've pre-ordered, and can't wait! It'll certainly be nice for helping us get through those last couple weeks of waiting for the boxset to be released!

A friend and I were discussing if that was truly Randy. My friend said it didn't really look like him and his hand seemed a little too big to be Randy's. LOL! We were wondering if Randy was the one holding the camera and taking the photo. I guess the wig and makeup really throw things off. Interest...

Mine is holding up fine, and I still love it!

Awesome, thanks for this info!!!

Yeah, I'm not sure what the deal was with the white face paint. I suppose because Kevin sort of resembled a mime with the black and white striped shirt, so Randy played upon that?

Man, the Scorpions sure churned out some great guitarists!!! There have been rumors circulating among Scorps fans for some time now that the final leg of their Farewell Tour next year will have a setlist of older material, and will have Uli and possibly Michael touring with them!! It's pretty wild t...

These play-along videos are just fantastic, I so enjoyed them!!!! It's certainly no wonder at all that Randy admired Michael. I'd sure love to have one of those signature Dean V's, but $4K is a little rich for me now.

Just came across this great photo of Randy and Jody from Halloween 1979 that I'd never seen before. It was in Rhoads to Ozz's collection on FB. Jody dressed up as Randy, with a cardboard cutout PDV, and Randy dressed up as Kevin Dubrow with striped shirt and dark curly hair wig! A very cool insight ...

California State University, Northridge created an archive on Randy Rhoads, which was researched and compiled by them and approved and edited by Delores Rhoads:
