Ultimate Rhoads

All i can say is WOW!!! I'm in the midst of reading this book for the 2nd time and just came across something i overlooked before.......halfway through the book, there is a segment on when Max Norman was producing/engineering "Diary" at Ridge Farm Studios. For those of you that own this bo...

This last photo of Jodi and Randy i believe, was taken in Mexico which i read in Rosen's book......apparently they went to Mexico for a few days before the Diary tour started back up again, and this is where Randy proposed to Jodi with a diamond engagement ring. Probably the last pic ever taken of t...

Again, Shawn hit's the nail right on the head and i agree with him 100%. Another speculation could be said about Aycock really owning that large bag of cocaine that was hidden in the driver's console?? Not that it really matters, but i have a strong feeling it was actually owned by Ozzy himself. Sha...

Lots of opinions regarding this subject, but i 100% agree with Shawn here. I actually know Aycock's daughter (Angela) and she paints a very different picture of her father than the general public does. Even her mother (Wanda) loved Andy up until her death a few years back. Wanda became catatonic aft...

Randy actually flew quite a bit. He flew a few times back & forth from LA to the UK and actually flew on the Concorde once. He actually never really developed a fear of flying until that Air Florida flight 90 crash in Washington back in Jan. 1982.....that crash really spooked him out. I believe ...

Well said Dutch!!

Thanx Mr. Dutch for answering and the PM follow up. Yes, i always have a bit of time in the morning and evening to to help you guys out if needed. I hear your point, and it must get frustrating at times for you. I always enjoyed this site more than the FB groups out there....the 3 FB groups i'm on w...

Ok....WTF has been going on in here lately?? Erectile dysfunction spam, and now live porn snippets when i logged in earlier?? I realize you mod's/admins have a life besides this group, but perhaps at least one of you could take a few minutes each morning or evening to do some monitoring?? I'm an adm...

Congrats on the new and improved site!! I always look forward to checking in weekly for newer material to read and possibly contribute to.....i belong to 2 or 3 groups on FB that are totally horrendous lol. Mods posting the same old pic's over and over again that we've all seen hundreds of times! I ...

Just for the record.....Andy's autopsy proved he wasn't "gacked out of his head" on cocaine. TRACE AMOUNTS were found in his urine, but none in his bloodwork. What this means is cocaine can stay in the bloodstream for up to 18-24 hrs, whereas in the urine for up to 5-7 days. THIS is why t...

You know, on closer inspection you're absolutely correct.....i was able to magnify the pic, and could easily tell for starters, the tour-bus was blatantly photo shopped into the fore-ground. Yes, there is a palm tree sticking out just above the bus (which never existed back then) and even the dual f...

Hey gang.....i'm 99% sure this is one of the shots Don took that fateful morning before the accident. As you can see, there is no damage yet to the tour bus, tree and house/garage. There is a similar pic in Andrew Klein's book, except in color. The only thing throwing me off is in the reproduction s...

Thats an iside job if i ever seen one. in my opinion. Looks like tubby needs more dominican cigars. Bingo!!! Porky Pig (Doug....errr Kelle) should be considered the ultimate embarrassment to the Rhoads family and community. No question he has some involvement in this fiasco!! Dupping the fans out o...

Although Randy apparently dreaded doing the 3 Sabbath songs that were incorporated into the live shows, imo he should have eaten a slice of humble pie and went along with Ozzy & Sharon's business plan. As some/most people already know, Jet Records required one final album to release Ozzy & C...
