I agree 100%. Can't stand that lefty blowhard, and the fact that she is smearing Randy's name makes me puke.

OK, I'm down off my soapbox for now :) Nah, get back on. You're saying what needs to be said...I feel the same way, especially when I hear/read people complaining about he quality of footage. "Oh man, the camera guy focused on Rudy too much." What?!?!? After YEARS AND YEARS AND YEARS of p...

Wow!! That was abut the coolest thread I've read in a while...thanks for posting!

Please keep us updated, I'd really like to hear what he comes up with.

Paul I recall reading that same story. Would be nice to get the complete first generation sometime, but as always I'm thankful for what we have. Just think, of all the shows to have bootlegged, we get the one with the iconic Tribute photo!

Thanks for scanning & sharing those. Am I a Randy snob? I only ask because whenever I read incorrect Randy info (like this article stating he was 26 when he passed) I get pissy. Like how hard is it to verify his age? But at the end of the day I guess I should just be happy his story continues to...

Nice!

So how much did the "68 Custom sell for? You'd have to contact the company to find out, i know one of the telephone numbers of one of the guys, he is from my home town in the UK Newcastle upon Tyne. I could give him a ring if you really want to know. :wink: That's very kind of you. Don't make ...

Great info on this thread, and I've never seen the shot with Randy & his assistant before, very nice! As far as dates are concerned, if Randy was complaining about jet lag due to just coming back from London then the photo shoot would likely haved been November of 1981, right after the remainder...

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

I enjoyed the article on Randy. There is a new interview with Dana Strum with some new info about the audition process Randy went thru. Cool new pic of Randy playing a black Les Paul Standard onstage with Quit Riot (probably one of his student's guitars). Regarding the books, there will be two of th...

After watching that video all I can say is DAMN Kevin was annoying! I don't think I could stand to be around a guy like that for more than 10 minutes!

WOW!!! It amazes me how even today new, never before seen photos are still being uncovered. Great work Jay, thanks for sharing. And yes, if you could get any more info (news crew video?) that would be appreciated!

I saw Joe several times w Ozzy, got a very nice, thick tone out of his strat and really had the Randy stuff down stone cold. Of course, being one of Randy's students you'd expect that I do wish he got a chance to cut a recod w Ozzy.
