Thomas from the magazine sent me a couple of copies today. It's a great magazine and has plenty pages on Randy. The first section covers the Ozzy story then a Quiet Riot section. The last page shows the collection of cuttings announcing the fatal crash. Thomas used these after he'd seen them in a thread on here. UR does get a credit for the use of them. We do have a few Swedish fans on here and if they could be so kind to translate some of the magazine. I've asked Thomas if it would be ok to post the pages up but he hasn't replied to me. Fingers crossed he'll give it the OK. But it's well put together and it makes the Classic Rock magazine look inferior. Well worth buying and a nice tribute to Randy's 30th anniversary.

I wouldn't mind buying a copy, but couldn't seem to find out how. I know it's not in English, but it would be cool to collect. Does it have any unseen/unpublished photos? Is the whole magazine dedicatetd to Randy or just a few pages?

SR, it mentions 9 other band's names on the cover. So my guess is that it probably may possibly have info on bands other than Randy/ozzy. But thats just a wild crazy estimate.

One interesting story might've ough, is from Bob Daisley, on how Randy might've looked
toned but was in REALLY BAD SHAPE even though he was in his early 20's.
While recording Blizzard, Ozzy, Bob and Randy used to go out jogging
but Randy could only keep up 1/4 of the distance Bob and Ozzy were doing.

God only knows how many cigarettes he was smoking. Those things will kill ya.

According to Bob, Randy started smoking at the tender age of 9

It's only the Gulf of Bothnia.

Is this a big article on Randy? Is it interesting?

I'd say it's quite big
Interviews with Ozzy, Rudy Sarzo and Bob Daisley

Any possibility of getting the scans of the article?!

I asked about posting the pages up of the mag and it's against the contributors wishes. I don't want any shit to hit the fan so please do not post any of the article up. Cheers
