Re: This could be true.

I never considered VH metal, just hard rock. I agree the first album and FW were the heaviest if they could be called heavy. Even their heavier stuff has vibe or mood where you think this is a band wanting to sound heavy but can't. EVH in my opinion always had total artistic control. After DLR left ...

Re: This could be true.

I have not been an EVH fan for a long time, but right after RR death some magazine had like an article in which current well known guitarist commented little blubs about what they thought of Randy. EVH said something to the effect it was tragic and he was a phenomenal player. I wish I could remember...

Interesting, like you I didn't have a clue Lemmy contributed songs to any OZZY albums.

Re: Is this Randy`s white Marshall head at the 1983 US Festi

There was a photo of Jake just after he got the Ozzy gig in Guitar World or Guitar Player posing with a Black Jackson RR model. I don't recall if this was before BATM was released.

Re: Randy/Ozzy related stuff

Ok I'm looking for one of the original t-shirts they sold on DOAM tour. I bought one at the Memphis show post Randy's death. It was a Brad show. I was surprised they were still selling them after his death. I wore it out. Should have bought several but back in the day didn't have a lot of cash for s...

Re: Randy/Ozzy related stuff

Do you have the original Randy Rhoads Blizzard of Oz Band t-shirt? I'd be interested in that. Mine was not in a package back in the day they were just loose when they were sold.

Re: Ozzy Pulling Guitar Players Hair

Sometimes I've seen Randy appear to move away if Ozzy got close to him. Like maybe he was thinking whats he going to do this time. Other times he didn't. It blew my mind the first time I saw him pulling Randy's hair. I think palladium footage shows it. I'm just guessing here but it may have only bee...

Your Randy concert/show experience

Since this site is almost dead LOL, I thought maybe folks could comment on the experience of actually seeing Randy in concert. A thread deticated strictly to the RR concert experience. He was killed about a month before I was to see him. I did buy the Randy t-shirt, which they were still selling eve...

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar

Yes obviously in that photo is just a shadow. But I was just saying his other stage guitars were uncovered and he never bothered to uncover or change out the LP pickups.

Re: Something Odd On Randy's Guitar

This thread made wonder about something else. Covered pickups, gold worse than chrome or nickle suck output and tone a little bit. Some say more than a little. His LP was his only stage guitar with covered pickups. As far as looks go I like covered pickups on certain guitars. Maybe he liked the look...

Re: palladium footage?

Was the thing about Sony buying the footage just a rumor, or was it confirmed? That was quite awhile back was it not that someone posted that on a Facebook page or something.

Re: Randy's Les Paul

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the LP was a gift from band and Mom. Like it was a surprise. He didn't actually pick it out.

Re: Weird topic RR dreams

Well I wondered if I was the only fan on here who had LOL. I do find it a little strange to have had dreams with him in them, but I guess I'm not completely alone in this.
