I can't get it. Did they take it down or is it cause I'm on my phone?
Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
Lol yeh, out of the whole box set this is the least im looking forward to. I remember seeing the trailer to the other doc and it had randys girlfriend on it and people around the time who were very close to him and it looked absolutely brilliant. All these people from this doc seem irrelevant apart from lemmy. I love judas priest and rob is actually from my hometown but he never really knew randy. Plus it shows in his clip, hes just going on about the album rather than what it was like to be around the band at the time and cool stuff that would have happened that we may not have known of.GUITARIDOL5682 wrote:This is a total reminisence to the dakota 'interview' docu. Who the fuck wants to listen to an hour long interview of people praising the obvious about Randy and how good the Blizzard albums are. Shit they may aswell of interviewed me... at least i could let the people know what it was like at a live gig 30 years ago. I just hope this dvd has more to offer then 15 people talking bolloxs. If the footage isn't any better then the few lousy clips we've seen its going to be an expensive collectors piece.

Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
I knew before any of these clips began to surface, that this would be a fluff piece. Interview Ozzy's pals and employees. Sounds great.
This should be interesting, as eventhough it's a discussion concerning one cornerstone of Ozzy's carreer, nothing can really be said about the lyrics, songwriting, bass and/or drums.
Once again pride is the reason for another missed opportunity.
I really hope Zakk is sober for this one, and is able to complete a sentence, while refraining from man-tears and chest thumps.
I only know Blasko from playing in Rob Zombie's band since his solo debut in '98. Blasko was hired by Sharon to replace the departing Trujillo a couple of years back while Zombie was off making one of his slasher flicks.
I'm guessing he can contribute no more than the average fan, really, which we have already in Zakk.
In reality, we all wanted a "Classic Albums" episode featuring Blizzard and/or Diary. This is most likely the closest we will ever get.
Several have already pointed out that the spotlight is on Ozzy for this. No matter how much of a fairytale "30 Years After" winds up being, we're still getting hooked up with 30 minutes of Palladium footage:)

Whenever I put on Blizzard or Diary, what a wonderful, delicate furious beast.... I MISS you, man!

That is exactly the thought I had while watching this clip... Ozzy was one step from being nobody. He chose Randy because on the last Sabbath tour Van Halen kicked their ass every night. Ozzy (and probably Sharon) saw the writing on the wall and knew they needed a guy who was of Ed's caliber and could kick ass the way VH did.
We all know Dana Strum brought Randy to Ozzy, right? Well, what if, after hearing a load of players he didn't care for, Ozzy said, "I need someone as good as Eddie Van Halen. Who in this town can keep up with him?" The logical choice would be Randy Rhoads, so Strum went and got him.

Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
I'm sure Don Arden had a big part to play in getting Ozzy back out there. He knew Ozzy wasn't a one trick pony and he knew he could get him back on stage performing and making records again. He would see hidding talent and a potential money earner and snap it up. Don played a huge part in bringing alot of great bands together in the 60's 70's & 80's The Move, ELO, Small faces, The Animals etc. Paul you are right about VH taking the spotlight away from Sabbath and blowing them off stage everynight. So they would have to gather some cool musicians together to get an act as good as VH. Which is what happened after all the auditions and hand picked people for the right job. The Blizzard of Ozz was unleashed.....Paul Wolfe wrote:hansolo wrote:The first thing he said was so far from the truth - Ozzy wasn't riding the Heavy metal God status and could NOT get any guitar player he wanted!

Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
It's simply a no-brainer that after witnessing Ed's brilliance in 1978, they went to SoCal to find a guitar player (of course, Ozzy the drunk was living in L.A. at the time, too)... I've often wondered if they considered any British guys, considering Sabbath was British.

Paul, you pretty much just hit the proverbial nail on the head, so to speak. Ozzy, absolutely loved EVH's playing.
I wonder if anyone has tried to interview Jake (i'm sure they have) about any of this stuff, I'd like to know if he or Brad Gillis ever saw any footage of Randy that the Osbournes might have had. It would have kind of made sense for the two of them to have seen it, especially Brad. I really hope there's enough actual concert footage of Randy on this to satisfy all the real die-hards who have waited so long for it, but bear in mind, it is an Ozzy Osbourne anniversary package, not a Randy Rhoads package. Randy is being used to sell it more than anything else.

I read an interview once with Brad Gillis where he stated he was given audio tapes to listen to while learning the songs.tedeeoo wrote:

Agree I would ask Leopard if it crossed their minds to replace Pete Willis with Randy.

Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
Nay, my brother. Steve and Pete were in Leppard from the get-go. It was Phil Collen who was brought in during the recording of Pyromania to replace the departing Willis.

Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
Ya Pete was the original guitarist fo pyromania, he recorded all the songs and was about to go back and do the solos for the songs and that's when he got canned I believe. I believe the only parts of Phil Collins on that album are all the solos a d that's it.
Re: More Teasers!!!!!!! Blasco on Randy!!!!
Yeah,if you really think about it....Joe Elliot (Def Leppards Singer) was Only 21-Just turning 22 on their leg of the US Blizzard Tour!!! And he was the Oldest member of Def Leppard!!!!
But Ive said it in other posts,but PLUS FIVE!!!
+5 Its No Coincidence that Those TWO Records were/are Ozzys Best selling Albums
Its NOT JUST RANDY RHOADS & OZZY that made those records so Great,we ALL KNOW THIS
And Mabey it is true,as far as "JET RECORDS" Signed Ozzy & Dropped Black Sabbath,thats a VERY BOLD Risk for any label at the time......shit even CBS in USA only gave him a 65,000$ Deal with Blizzards already PROVEN (in the UK) Success he was a Liability,due to his Known Behavior & Drinking/Drugging/Shitting in Hotel Ice Machines Unpredictable Behavior.
But I bet they have their Stories......Just Like Rudys Story of Randy introducing himself to Pete Willis (Def Leps Guitar) & Pete Freaking out cuz in UK Randy means Horny!!:)
And Joe Elliot (in Dont blame me) Talking about Ozzy pissing on the Line of kids waiting to get in the show! I bet each living member of Def Lep has a RR Story.
But for it to be like a "Classic Albums" in the way they are supposedly to show Ozzy going over some of the Master tapes!!
I bet Bob & Lee have some Unique Stories of Every Song on Both Albums & the Live EP
(I really hope to hear the Tubular Bells on Revelation) But different Overdubbs & Vocal Harmonys ect.ect. Max Norman too!!!!! These people are ALL Still ALIVE & THEY Are THE ONES to Comment!!!! Don Aiery too,even though he did his parts on Blizzard in One Session!!
He told a story about Ozzy making some Brownies or Cake that he Spiked w/Hash & they were all in hysterics Rolling around Laughing at some TV Documentary about Garden Knombs!!!! Ozzy is Wellknown for Spiking Large amounts of Food that he makes.
So Jet Obviously told the guys what they wanted to hear to "Get their Product" All along with the intention of getting Hired guys for ALOT less Money.Bob & Lee were around,knew what they were entitled to & that threatened Sharon enough to wanna Fire them!
I think seeing this Grimey ALL-TO-REAL side of the music buisiness gave him a Guilty feeling & really had to Fuck w/his head mentally thinking???? WTF??? Lee was the guy after FORTY Drummers!!! Bob & I Wrote theese songs w/ozzy & ALL THE LYRICS too!
He had to be Miserable.......He had to play an album of Sabbath after he just Won best new talent???? Then Owed Another one......as was prob thinking.....How can we do this w/o Bob?
Okay sorry,a bit off the rails there......but Theese are the Key people.....They dont even have Rudy or Tommy?? Hey I Will Love it either way,but its such a shame
