That really makes me question it's authenticy.....
How likely is it that Jerry Calhoun would just give it away to someone while knowing it belonged to Randy? Who would do that? Didn't they make sure after the accident that all Randy's gear was returned to his family? If Randy used this Zeus pretty much off stage then it's a bit hard to understand they would forget this device to return as well. Just my 0.99 cents....

I totally agree, Dutch.

It is possible that when everything was transferred to a new bus to continue the tour that this was overlooked, but to just give it to a fan?

Is this guy saying that this thing was on the plane when he says "It was in the crash". Randy wouldn't have taken it on the plane. There is no reason to do so. It's not like he was jamming in the back seat of that tiny airplane. This has to have been aquired through shady means if it is real, but I don't think it is.
Oh bring me some CHUNKY PUDDING, and bring it RIGHT NOW!!!

No it wasn't taking on the plane, i spoke to Rudy Sarzo about this and he recons it was left under Randy's bed on the coach. The band must of swapped coaches so all the personal items and equipment belonging to Randy would of been put onto another bus. The amp was overlooked and left hiding under RR bed. So after the police had looked around the coach and left the scene. Someone ? maybe Jerry Calhoun had been on the bus for a look around and found the amp. So in a way it was like lost property. No one ever noticed it was missing and it has just been a mystery to it's where abouts until now. But the question, is that the original one RR used ?.He may have had a few modifications done to it and the one in the pic maybe an earlier prototype ?. All speculation really until something can be proved it really is his ?.

Your not as confused as me!

He has taken something I have said (without permission too) and used it, it would seem to justify his sale...
Don't get me wrong I am not bothered, it just would have been polite to have asked as he doesn't know me.

I am just a little perplexed as to how a post from an ordinary fan is beneficial to ths sale of this item???

Is it because he agrees with the idea of it going to a private collector who would house this in a museum? or is it to battle critics of the sale but using my quote to back him up!

This is sure to raise my likeability factor in certain circles!!!

Yeah Matt i noticed your aviatar on ebay the seller has taking a quote from Rudy Sarzo that he emailed me to help authenticate the item. I looked at this as a total act of desperation to make sure that it does sell. I don't know if romeorose has realised but all those false bids he is putting in are actually putting the price up. If someone is genuinely going to buy this item. Its jumped from $8000 - $12000 now. So if your planning on making the guy a fortune please think before you do such a foolish thing again.

I saw that too, thought it was kinda odd. Definately trying to make his case by using your post. Funny how he interpreted your post like that. This whole thing is crazy! I'm sure we'll never know the whole truth regarding how this was aquired. A mystery fo sho, cuz I really don't believe much of what that cat is claiming. And I'm sorry Romeo Roses' feast was interupted.

Romeo Rose is a real eccentric isn't he?! :)

If he wants to use someone who has a strange affinity with Horses, does lady killer faces and doesn't have any ties with the Rhoads family then fine...I can't see it helping though :)
