IN THE WORKS R.R. BOOK!!
RANDY RHOADS - You Can’t Kill Rock & Roll

Dear Randy Rhoads Fans,

I wanted to take a minute to let all of you know about the new Randy Rhoads book that is currently in the works. I just received a proof of the book jacket, and needless to say I’m very proud to have had one of my pictures selected as the front cover image for this book. It’s been nearly 30 years since I shot those special pictures of Randy and I never would have imagined back then, how lucky I was to be at the right place at the right time. 

I’m very happy to announce to all of you, that there is a Randy Rhoads book in the works entitled You Can’t Kill Rock & Roll and that it has a major Publisher backing this project. 
You Can’t Kill Rock & Roll will be the most complete and comprehensive book ever written on Randy Rhoads period!  I’ve personally read numerous chapters from the book and I can honestly tell all of you, that this is the book we’ve all been waiting for!  No rehashed guitar magazine articles or fluff story. You Can’t Kill Rock & Roll is being written by Randy’s lifelong friend Kelly Garni along with award winning editor/screenwriter Michael Lynn. Kelly Garni sets the record straight and tells the real R.R. story as only Kelly can!  

Not only will this book be a great read, it will also contain numerous unpublished photos, memorabilia, personal artifacts, drawings and clippings created by Randy Rhoads himself, along with personal letters that were handwritten by Randy to friends, family and most importantly letters that go into great detail about life on the road while on tour. 

While the Randy Rhoads phenomenon continues to grow, 2010 seems to be a very promising year for us Randy Rhoads fans!  We’ll keep you all posted on the book and we’ll be making additional announcements on other RR related projects that will knock your socks off!!!!!

Awesome! I can't wait to get a couple of these... I hope its as thick as the first photo & not some 100 page thrown together thing? This looks like it could be the ultimate RR treasure chest filled with never before seen stuff...
