Ultimate Rhoads

Got nothing bad to say about Uncle Ted... i like his music and all... but the things he said about Dime? Concerning that , he can piss off. So he can run Dimebag down about substance abuse, but at least Dimebag didn't obtain custody of a minor so he could turn around and marry her like Ted did. Plus...

Here's how I see it and feel about it.. when I want to hear Randy, I put on his music and listen. When I want to see Randy I look at a magazine... maybe reread the article for the umteenth time... or watch Afterhours again. And if I really want to feel the magic of Randy I pick up a guitar and play ...

Hey Hans... I meant Johnny... typo... anyway I agree with you on not playing everything just so perfect. There's video of Dimebag... not sure which Dvd its on (Dimevision I think)... anyway, hes videotaping himself in the mirror giving his thoughts on the subject and its the same gist.

Blechhh..... really? They do look cheap AND ugly. Ive seen better looking guitars that come with Guitar Hero and Rockband...

Wow. I knew about all the credits except Jerry Cook. I knew Don Airey was the touring keyboardist but didn't know who recorded on the albums. For sure Ozzy was fortunate to have Randy, Bob, Lee and Jerry Cook in his band. Otherwise BOO wouldn't have had near as big of an impact as we know it

Ya know I just happened to listen to Diary on a roadtrip all the way through yesterday (the original Jet version) and it still sounds as fresh to my ears as it did the first time I heard it... and to prove the point I didn't know some of the solos were demos... news to me...wish my "demo" ...

God I hope there's one more gem hidden away. There's been much ado and speculation. I look at the fact that we have little footage from the BOO tour simply because that's when the Blizzard of Ozz band ( I call it that respectfully for ALL members involved),was just beginning to blow up so there wasn...

Another thing too I might add is when I mentioned deadlines, you gotta consider that BOO wasn't under deadline for a record company at that moment but they had a limited budget and studio time is money. But by the time DOAM was in progress the opposite was the case. I think its been mentioned that R...

Yep... I listened and heard it... albeit I had to review each track several times to compare. You're correct that the tracks aren't mirrored takes. But I am a guitar player and vocalist and have had experience in the studio, and I can tell you this... if you are your own worst critic about your musi...

Cool... thanks for the props! But ya know if you actually have a Gibson style v that would be closer to the Sandoval replica than my Jackson is... mine is kind of a hybrid between the pdv and the Concorde... wish I woulda had a Gibson style to work with. Go for it dude! A little elbow grease patienc...

More pics of my Jackson kv4 pdv that I did myself are in the randy rhoads collectors corner of the forum...

I made mine by drawing it out and took it to a sign shop that makes vinyl stickers. I just pulled from a picture of randy's headstock. It wasn't hard at all...

I get it that when you're performing someone else's material it is important to keep certain characteristics in tact for the sake of keeping the song's integrity in tact... but I'm sure if Randy were still around he would still say be original. Like its been mentioned in this thread Randy didn't pla...

One last look. A closeup of the finish. The guy that painted it knocked it out of the park. Look at that clearcoat. And this is the first guitar he has ever painted... cheers to Bronson's Body Shop!

Well for starters I received the guitar itself as trade for a tattoo that I did for a friend of mine. I did a big back piece that the price was equivalent to what the guitar was worth (about $800.) Originally the paint from the factory was trans blue. As far as the PDV facelift goes... I did all pre...
