Re: Clips from the Randy Rhoads Remembered concert.

European hard rock/metal has more of an appeal to me, for some reason...maybe it was the things that Lord & Blackmore, Page & Jones and Iommi & Butler were doing, in terms of melding American Rock, Rhythm & Blues to the Classical influence that is embedded in the heart of Europe. Ame...

Re: Clips from the Randy Rhoads Remembered concert.

It certainly has ping-ponged back and forth...Angus' main influence is Chuck Berry. Don't get me wrong, there is stuff I do like stateside, circa 70s & 80s, but when I look at my iTunes, the Eastern side of the Atlantic is represented by full albums, where a lot Stateside is mostly greatest hits...

Re: Was Randy's Death A Prank Gone Wrong?

In the end, how can anyone determine what really is the truth? My opinion of the Rhoads family being decent, honest folk is based on what I have read time and again in magazine articles since Randy's passing, and from the personal accounts of other fans since I first discovered the community in '02 ...

Re: Was Randy's Death A Prank Gone Wrong?

Bob Daisley doesn't fit in this though, due to his fb page. 15,024 likes. Is he fooling all of those folks, myself included? Is it just because he doesn't come here specifically, Paul? I don't know Bob personally, either, but he's always came across as on-the-level guy, and his story remains unchang...

Re: Clips from the Randy Rhoads Remembered concert.

Didn't realize Nuno was a fan of Randy's. When he was coming up in the clubs, he was a cross between Joe Perry's look and EVH's style.
Cool to see Skolnick involved once again. His Trio's rendition of GTR was easily one of the best covers I've heard.

Re: Was Randy's Death A Prank Gone Wrong?

In all honesty, Paul, I couldn't imagine Bob himself ever showing up here. At one time or another over the years, I've witnessed folks from the fan 'collective' flat-out shit upon folks of a more or less "V.I.P." status. That goes for this site, TK and the forum set up at the Documentary's...

That's my bad on the thread de-rail, guys, as I referenced words this thread's creator also said at the Klein/Rosen book thread.

Re: Was Randy's Death A Prank Gone Wrong?

As I've said elsewhere, when folks first learned of the documentary, many wanted the real deal when it came to telling Randy's story, yet when the trailer leaked, most seemed upset over the tale concerning Jackie Fox. I do not buy into the myth of Randy being someone devoted to one girl/woman, didn'...

Re: Was Randy's Death A Prank Gone Wrong?

As it's already been established that Randy's a woman beater and a guy with issues, I suppose coercing a pilot to pull a dangerous prank with a fifty-eight year old woman in attendance would fit his m.o. as well. ~T. Isn't that what was said in the new book that's out? That he used to slap his girl...

Re: Grail Tapes Q&A

HELL YES I would listen to the full 7 hours but it would have to be mixed in the studio so that it is near perfect audio I know you're "17" and all, but this wonderful chunk of history was recorded during the analog age, over three decades ago, it's been rated between 6 & 7 and the ma...

Re: Grail Tapes Q&A

Thanks, RRF, you just made me think of a biggie!
Of the seven hours recorded, how much of that is Ozzy present for? How much is just Bob and Randy?
