Ultimate Rhoads

hi guys, ive got a msg on my youtube channel... here it is


Randy Rhoads clips...
Hi there,

This is Regina Russell, the producer and director of the new Quiet Riot Documentary. I loved your clips. Do you have the photos and newspaper clippings in them? I would love to use some of them in the documentary.

Please let me know, thanks!



Did you know about this one??

whoa pretty cool bro! I know the Quiet Riot book was supposed to have a dvd and now the book isn't happening for a little bit so i don't know if this is them or not.

i never heard about a QUiet Riot doc

Didnt Frankie do a doc on QR?

it might be the one frankie banali was trying to put together a while back..should be a thread on here somewhere about it..if its the same one, not sure..cool tho!!!

Reginal RUssel is a legit producer according to google. ANyway i did answer her and did tell her to contact KG instead

Unless he changed his trajectory recently, Frankie's doc covered the Quiet Riot story from the recording/release/tour of Metal Health forward.
In my own opinion, I think he was wise to leave the Rhoads years out of his film, as that has proven to be a tough peak to summit.

A good point well spoken, adding RR o the mix seems to be the kiss of death to anything a d everything we have all strived and worked towards.

Truer words have never been spoken, Trigger. It just seems to be impossible to move forward with anything RR related. The things that we do get are like gold nuggets, as they're so few and far between.

That being said, I really want to see what Frankie Banali has created here. Sounds cool.

but leaving randy out would be a bad thing randy was the first gurtist in quiet riot

Randy was the founder of Quiet Riot with Kelly Garni, not simply the first in a succession of guitar players. The 'Quiet Riot' Frankie was in was only so named because Randy had made it known that his first band had that name. Without Randy's mentioning of the name in interviews after finding fame with Ozzy, the band known as Quiet Riot (but actually being DuBrow) would never have gotten anywhere...

A documentary about QR without Randy would be like a documentary of KISS only focusing on the years with Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer.

I've noticed over the years that any Quiet Riot books dvd's articles etc. Randy hardly gets a mention. Especially in the early 80's he was the original founder of the band. You'd think he'd get a bit more recognition. I don't know if the 'red tape' is too much to include his name or photos, footage etc. Or is the copyright on his name too much to forget him and get on with the project ?.

Regina is Frankie Bannali's fiance and the director of this docu. I had a look around the web and the only links i could find are this
http://www.quietriotmovie.com and a FB page linked to that, but no latest info on what's happening.

might have something to do with QR being just another LA band when Randy was in it.
remember, this was around the time Van Halen broke it big and while Eddie stunned the world
QR was a glampop band not even able to secure a US deal
...and when QR finally made it big with 'Metal Health', Randy was long gone ...

Maybe that Ron Sobol book has something to do with this?... It was going to include a DVD with the Randy Rhoads Quiet Riot years? It could be that both parties had an understanding to release separate documentaries? It kind of makes sense as it ended up being two completely different bands.

"Randy Rhoads: The Quiet Riot Years", a new book from QUIET RIOT's personal photographer/lighting director Ron Sobol, will be available for pre-order starting around April 1 from GuitarWorld.com.



Enhanced by a rich collection of Ron Sobol's evocative photographs, rare video footage and moving personal memories, coupled with a raft of Kevin DuBrow's original memorabilia, this is the captivating story of QUIET RIOT's near-impossible journey to superstardom, a story that first began on March 3, 1975 with legendary guitar icon Randy Rhoads in tow. Rocked by adversity at every turn, refusing to give up, resolute that it was their way or the highway, QUIET RIOT truly epitomize the word survivor, by eventually becoming one of the most popular bands in heavy metal history.

"Randy Rhoads: The Quiet Riot Years" is being published by Red Match Productions, with exclusive distribution through Guitar World. As a bonus, this book comes with a 90-minute DVD documentary of the QUIET RIOT years with Randy, containing interview footage telling the story of the band. The DVD will also feature the song "Hymn 11" from French-Algerian artist Pierre Bensusan, globally known as the "Mozart of Guitar", taken from his "Altiplatos" album.
