Re: Bobs book??
I completely understand what you're saying, but it's probably because Bob wants his book to have a different angle than the others out there. That would be my guess. With the recent windfall of Randy books (which is a good thing), he probably wants to do a solid job, and perhaps take it in a different direction. I don't know, as I'm not Bob, and have no ties to him or the project, but this would make sense.Lespauly wrote:Is it just me but WHY has it taken Bob 30 yrs to put a book out??

Not to mention Bob has played with some other music heavyweights. As much as I'm curious about what he has to say about the Ozzy/Randy era, there's other stuff Bob has done that I'm interested in hearing about.
I would think Bob must get a bit sick of discussing the Randy era at times, but he's a class act, and always fields the questions. He speaks of Randy with an obvious fondness, which is cool, but you have to think how you might feel if people asked you about the same thing 5,000 times. On the other hand, this was a career highlight for him, so he most likely understands the desire for people to get more info about Randy and this era. Sometimes Randy fans forget he has an impressive résumé that includes other acts also. Regardless of whether you like the guy or not, he's always been pretty cool about discussing his musical experiences, etc.
And for the record, as great as Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge are, and as much of a class act as both those guys are as well, that sound that came out of that original lineup of Blizzard Of Ozz was classic, and Oz was never able to duplicate it again. Sad that the whole thing came down to money, especially with such talented people involved.

Re: Bobs book??
That has got to be one of the dumbest things anyone has ever said on this site! Do you know what an autobiography is? You have to live a life in order to write about it!Lespauly wrote:Is it just me but WHY has it taken Bob 30 yrs to put a book out??

Re: Bobs book??
I would think any time spent with Randy Rhoads is worth talking about!
