Re: Randy Quiz "Answers" number 1
1.The Quiet Riot songs "Picking Up the Pieces" and "Breaking Up is A Heartache " they both have something in common, what is this...?
The thing that these two songs have in common is that they both have Randy playing "Bass" guitar aswell as lead..
2.What were Quiet Riot originally called...?
Quiet Riot were originally called Little Women
3.How did they find the name " Quiet Riot "...?
It was through Rick Parfitt from the British band Status Quo and they had visions of calling an LP Quiet Riot,and it would be a good name for a band.Kevin discussed this with Randy and everyone thought it was a great name..
4.How much did it cost for Randy's Karl Sandoval Polka-Dot flying V...?
$738 dollars before the damage to the neck
5.What is the inscription on Randy's grave stone..?
The inscription on Randys Grave/Tomb stone is "An inspiration for all young people"..(picture below)
6.The Day on the Green Oakland California 4 July 1981 aswell as Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard Of Ozz who else was on the bill...?
This question was quite easy but a few of you's missed one of the bands out but i give it to you anyway,that was a local band called 415 the rest of the line up was Pat Travers, Blue Oyster Cult,Loverboy and Heart.(pictured below)
7.The Day on the Green concert mentioned produced a photo by the photographer Ross Halfin and this was Randys favourite Live photo.But why is Randy laughing so much....?
This is quite a funny story Randy was riffing away with his legs apart in typical pose and his trousers ripped straight up the back side.So Ross Halfin noticed this and he tried his best to get a shot of this ,but he never did.Thats how Randy is laughing so much.I'll try and get this photo posted up as it is Randy's favourite Live photo and a cool story..(picture below)
8.The intro to Diary of a Madman how was Randy's guitar sound created...?
One of the first things you may notice when you listen to the Introduction is that it sounds like more then one guitar...and you're right.Randy loved to overdub himself,here he played a nylon string acoustic and then overdubbed this with a steel string guitar to add extra depth to his sound.
9.What name did the Blizzard of Ozz use for three early warm up gigs and where did they play..?
These gigs have never had a date put to them and non of the band members can remember which venue they played at...!!!.The name they went under was "Law" and the three gigs happened at Blackpool and Cromer both in England UK.
10.How many pages does this months prize have? Not including the cover.
208 pages not including the cover.
The winner of this months quiz is .....DRUMROLL GUITARIDOL5682
Only joking with an excellent score and 100% 10/10 this months prize goes to Metal Matt..Well done Matt if you can PM me your address i'll get the book shipped to you OK
Don't forget that next month's Quiz will be starting on 1st September so keep your eyes open for that one.Please have a go it costs nothing and the more the merrier

At least one of these was mostly written by Randy after he broke up with his girlfriend of several years, the one prior to Jodi Raskin. Although, without doing a little research I do not remember which song it was off the top of my head.1.The Quiet Riot songs "Picking Up the Pieces" and "Breaking Up is A Heartache " they both have something in common, what is this...?
Interestingly enough, Randy and Jodi got together, and, at the same time, Randy's ex-girlfriend got together with Jodi's brother, Paul. It was a close knit group!
