Ultimate Rhoads

Some quick math- even if they sold only 500 books- that's still $49,500, and let's say half are international orders- that adds an additional $15,000- those numbers may not be amazing but they're a lot better than 500 units at $35 ($17,500). I'm sure they're utilizing the cheapest shipping method po...

There is plenty of profit on shipping and handling at $60/international. I manage quality control, shipping and receiving for a smaller-medium sized printing company (depending upon what is printed) and from my knowledge of the various methods to ship both at home and abroad- yes, $60 shipping leave...

It does if the docu was a lie to begin with- which I believe that it was. I don't think that the authors would have had as much access to a lot of the materials otherwise, nor would it have been as easy to get musicians and other associates to share their input and release rights to their contributi...

WHAT IF . . . . the premise of the RR film was a farce? What if the people that had promised the Rhoads' family a documentary about Randy had other intentions (let's say, making books at $100 each instead of a $35 docu)- what if the authors saved the best material for the "real" project an...

Wow, interesting thread and I have NO idea how I got to it (I'm lazy and I merely type "ul" in the addy bar and it pulls up UR for me) anyways, quite related to this topic I'd like to say that I'm very suspicious of the recent headlines about the use of drones to kill Americans (or ANYONE ...

Just out of curiosity, did that project help bring you more business? I would certainly hope so- I believe that everything happens for a reason. You made a beautiful one of a kind instrument, in memory of a musician that was equally as beautiful and one of a kind- surely there has to be something t...

You know what, I was actually thinking about this very subject while listening to DOAM and BOO- I know that a lot of the lyrics are credited to Bob (and deservedly so!) however IMHO I can't help but suspect that Randy had more influence in direction than originally thought. I think that both BOO and...

Regardless of where the bass is now, rhoads56- you made a beautiful instrument that I'm sure Randy would be proud to have in his memory. It sucks that things went down as they did and left a bitter taste in your (and many others) mouth- but do you think that having made that bass put your company ou...

I'm still waiting for him to come through on his promise that he would be dead or in prison if Obama was reelected- not that I wish that stuff on anyone, but hey- a man is only as good as his word. And his usually are stupid, erroneous, and spiteful- a tabloid douchebag that only seems to get attent...

................... http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=680276 Found an interesting thread where there is an attempt made at civil discourse in "gun control". Although some posts are ignorant/offensive to some- overall I found it to be informative of both "sides"...

is that "guns-free school zones" are now "killing zones". I didn't think the gun lobby would go there, but they did. Somehow, according to their il/logic- we need guns in gun free school zones because the criminals are now capitalizing upon students made vulnerable by laws that ...

arm the teachers And...... your wish has come true. This is going to end badly. Yup, it will end badly for the dude that thinks he can go into a school and shoot kids That's just the thing, the same people that do these things know what they're getting into (with the possible exception of the CO mo...

Kelly is one of the foundation figures that played a role in Randy's live. (like Kevin) I think he is still a valuable voice concerning the Randy story, whatever the intention of his new book is. I agree, I think that Kelly and Kevin (and Ozzy) would have an interesting insight to Randy as a person...

Happy birthday, Simon! (:
