randy will never die wrote:bob saget man why does this stuff keep happing bet my life that if randy was still with us he would have this stuff out already
If Randy was still with us, there wouldn't be a cult following and most members here would probably not even know who he was.

could it be that things aren't always as they appear? could it possibly be that contracts haven't been met and material from one project stolen to be used in another? if everything was above board and honestly presented, i assure you, the lawyers wouldn't be involved.

Frank, unfortunately this 'Internet generation' believes they are entitled to every bit of information possible. They feel that if there is any behind-the-scenes issue, they deserve to be told about it.
I agree with you, if Randy's family says, "No," then the answer should be NO.

Oh please, enough with bitching about the wine. Ask yourself this, how much does a quality bottle of wine cost
without an image of Randy Rhoads on it? The answer is: about the same as a bottle
with the image on it. If Randy's sister had been a photographer and put out a book of photographs of her brother, you would all drool over it. Instead, it's a bottle of wine that means nothing to most of you, so it's 'exploitative'.
As for Hendrix, their are
hundreds of things with Hendrix's image on them that have nothing to do with music. What it boils down to is Randy's "fans" feel they
deserve everything they want and will whine and cry until they get what they want. There isn't any 'music' to release as there was with Hendrix. Randy didn't build his own studio and spend hours recording his ideas there.
So what if these books got the axe? When you all start appreciating what you
have been given and quit whining, this community will be a better place. When and if these books are published, consider it a pleasant surprise and not, "it's about time".
When the majority of members here start discussing
music and
guitar playing you'll be honoring Randy's memory. When you start posting about Randy's use of sus 4 chords and arpeggios and how to apply such things into your own playing,
then you'll be honoring his legacy. As long as the posts are bitching about pictures and documentaries, you people sound like spoiled little kids demanding that you be given everything without earning anything.
