It will be available as an eBook at some point this year but it won't be on Kindle because we want the colour photos to remain in colour.

On Kobo perhaps?

Have you had a chance to read the book yet, Paul?

Just imagine what the video would have been like. +1 I would have loved to see a video of brad doing sabbath...the little snippet that is in the new DVD is awesome even if it is only from the audience Me too. That's snippet of "Fairies Wear Boots" just plain rocks. Its raw sound and Brad'...

It's not 'such a nothing story' if you care about the legacy of Randy Rhoads.

Perhaps not a "nothing story", but a story that further illustrates the lack of fair treatment of the original Blizzard band, for sure.

TAB, thanks for all the info about this. It's tough to know there's footage out there that will probably never be released, but it's also nice to know that many of us were right in thinking that there ACTUALLY WAS footage out there. It IS appreciated. I still maintain there's more from other sources...

Man I think this is such a nothing story I agree. This whole thing has been made into a massive stink, for something that's really no surprise to anyone. We are all aware of the bad blood between the O's and Bob. Bob has simply restated what he's said before, and has always maintained - that it was...

I cant imagine what it must be like to be Bob Daisley when these things happen must hurt like hell. I wonder what Zakk's situation was like. I've never seen him complain about money, heck I don't think I've seen him mention money, so I wonder if he got treated differently. I would imagine so. Mind ...

Not to defend them, but Classic Rock backpedaled pretty hard about this one. They sent out a message saying they usually only give an award to one member, that type of thing. They also mentioned they are not a big outfit that can afford to fly everybody in for an award, blah, blah, blah. I get that....

So what can we learn from this? Get shit in writing before you do anything. I have real life lessons for this as well. You will get screwed, more than likely, of don't do this up front. It is a damn shame that some people cant keep their words. I agree it's a shame, and should not have happened, bu...

...they are the epitome of corporate rock, charging fans exorbitant prices for tickets and merch. Lastly, their "reunion" and the years following have not produced any good music (in my opinion). They are a band that is phoning it in for money, plain and simple. Good for them that they ca...

Why does it make you dislike the Eagles? The article states: According to the lawsuit, the Eagles first filed a cease-and-desist order against Shelley to prevent him from screening the bootlegged footage in October. After Shelley "refused," the band's lawyers took the matter to federal co...

Well, to resurrect this thread somewhat, with news that does not pertain specifically to Randy, but deals with Mr. Shelley, it seems, sadly, the Eagles are suing him: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/eagles-sue-concert-footage-archivist-over-bootleg-performances-20141130 http://www.theguardian...

Check this link (with video) out from Rolling Stone. It gives you a good idea of what the tour bus would have been like. Of course, this is Willie Nelson's old bus, but it's interesting to see the inside of one of these busses in detail: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/willie-nelson-tour-bu...

Two words: The music.

This is an interesting discussion. I tend to think that Randy would not have started his own band and been the instigator of a band so much as a highly sought out guitarist for the band.
