Re: Crazy Train: The high life and tragic death of Randy Rho
It's cool, you're welcome to ask, I just can't be specific as one of the aims of this book is to rise above the idiots who compete for ownership of RR's legacy -- and as you know, there are a few -- therefore I can't name names.

Thank you so much Joel for answering those questions. I appreciate it. Looking forward to the book. Cheers.Tharg wrote:There weren't any problems with the Osbournes or Rhoads families, but there were issues with one particular planet-sized asshole who knew RR in the early days.
Plenty of new info about his childhood from his school friends, lots of cool new stuff about his life as a musician from Grover Jackson, Bob Daisley and others.

This is such a true statement. It could be in own thread. It seems like everyone thought they were the person who was Randy's true best friend. I think he was such a nice guy everyone felt that close to him.
I have discussed this with a friend on this board before but for me the person that was most sincere when speaking about Randy, be it good or bad, was Kevin DuBrow. To bad he isn't around to be a part of your book.

Agreed. His input would have been invaluable.

Just received an notice from Amazon.com that June 17 it the expected delivery date!
I can only imagine how frustrating these sort of things must be for authors!! Lars Amend co-authored Rudof Schneker's (Scorpions) autobiography a years ago, and it still hasn't be released in English yet!! It was originally written in their native language of German. Yet, the publisher has released in Portuguese, and recently Bulgarian of all languages. When asked about it, all they could say was that, "It's complicated".

Sorry, I meant to say .ca , not .com. It's very strange that you got a different date from the same place?! ![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
