Ultimate Rhoads

The only bands i have heard Randy mention was sabbath, kiss and not to crazy about them and queen not sure if he liked them or not from seeing a interview with quiet riot he says queen wasnt a influence but cant tell if he was kidden. I have never heard anything mentioned about cheap trick. my rema...

to add to what paul said above, if randy laughed at those fans who wear polka dots, it would only be because he was uncomfortable with that level of fan-dom and didn't know how else to react. every account that i have ever read about those who met him on tour have described a gracious, humble, genui...

As I recall, Randy didn't like Cheap Trick. He thought they were a sloppy band or something, and was annoyed that all of his students wanted to learn Cheap Trick songs. cheap trick was a favorite band of mine at the time. i was disappointed to find out that randy thought they were sloppy and medioc...

paul? a 'johnny-come-lately'? good one.

no shaun, i can't. i don't mean to tease, either. let your imagination kick in. toss in some tasty adjectives...greed...treachery...betrayal... i don't like cloak and dagger, but i don't like the family being unfairly vilified either. my loyalties to the rhoads family are based on the fact randy lov...

I've asked myself this many times and it all boils down to who's running his estate. But as soon as you start to question their methods in any way, those people 'close' to the family pounds you down with the hammer of doom... could it be that things aren't always as they appear? could it possibly b...

...My mom thinks that he was gay, but I keep telling her there was no evidence of him being gay. She watched this video and she said it looked like Randy and Kevin were "flirting". I denied it and told Kevin was just being annoying, but she insisted. nope. mom's wrong. tell her to look up...

if memory serves, sharon got bonehead for randy...ulterior motive: she wanted a companion for her dog while they were on the road.

it may be hard to believe, but i can remember some conversations with randy verbatim. others, i struggle to remember and yet others are big holes. my memory seems to be selective, but i remember being amused at a dust-up over at .tk.: someone absolutely refused to believe that randy would call rudy ...

So whatever happened with the puppy? I am pretty sure many people confirmed that Jodi took Bonehead home. Randy received him as a gift I believe while they were on the road. Original Topic: http://www.ultimaterhoads.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6139&p=66481&hilit=dog#p66481 jodi took bonehea...

february, 1978. i was 23 and randy was 21. because i wasn't a teenager like most of his pupils, randy treated me differently from the start. i took lessons at the house...cross legged on the living room floor. we became close friends almost immediately. this continued until he left for england in la...

Frank you gotta understand that you experienced what every member here could only dream of. I would be listening to those tapes all the time. Randy isn't why I first picked up a guitar BUT he is the reson I studied the guitar. Learn to read music, study modes ect. Most of all he was half the reason...

randy played some basic piano. he could read music as well, but he preferred not to as a rule.
