Does anyone have a good pic of Randy and Bonehead (the Jack Russell Terrier)?
I know there are at least two shots out there of him with the dog...one where he's got a towel around his head and one where he's in his DOAM stage garb. I've already looked around in the .tk/randy-rhoads.com gallery and came up with nothing. :shock:
Anyone have these photos knocking around?

Hi Skully, The pic with Randy with the towel round his head is in the back of the Diary of a Madman Book by Mick Wall and Garry Bushell and i'm sure that the same pic and another 2 pics of Randy with another dog are on one of the inside sleeves in Tribute.Hope this helps...

I know the picture that you are talking about. I'll have a look thru some of my stuff that I have, and post up a picture or two.

btw, he had two dogs, Killer and Zero. Frank has more info on those two.

Here's the one from the back of Diary of a Madman book which GUITARIDOL mentioned, not sure the name of the dog though, is this Bonehead.

I believe someone asked that at one of the memorials, and the answer from Kathy was, that Jody took the dog, and he lived a long life with her, but had since passed on.
Thanks Darin, I always thought it must have been tough for Randy's family taking his pet in without Randy around.

I think this is the only photo of Randy wearing the famous Ozzy tour sweatsuit.

Ozzy was once quoted somewhere as saying something about going ballistic on someone on the crew for wearing Randy's after he passed.

Does anyone have this quote and know the source?

from a very reliable and knowledgable friend:

Hit Parader-"A Tribute To Randy Rhoads"-1983

"We had personal Ozzy Osbourne track suits made for the crew and band. I was coming out of a hotel somewhere, it was a few days after the accident, and there was this kid standing with a track suit top on. I was shot up with some numbness powder and I looked at this guy and thought, "where did he get that from, we haven't done a gig here yet." Sharon, my wife and manager, asked, "where the fuck did you get that?" He said, off the bus." I was going to kill that little fucker. It was Randy’s suit. I said, "Take that fucking thing off or else your head is going to come off. Get it off! How dare you, fucking animal."
