It's been great here, made friends, made new friends, talked about everything, even used this site as a kind of blog as well, to let you know on my journey in life. You all have supported me in times of grief for loss of family members, my worries, my dreams, everything... I come to think of you all as the family, I'll never get to meet, (well not just yet anyways
) I also got to achieve one of my dreams to be part of Post-Rhoads History, or basically, I wrote a poem in memory of our Randy and as the older members remember, I recieved a letter from Delores and Kathy Rhoads as a thank you, as the poem was passed on to the family by our own Gina (Sarab) and Frank. The letter held such strong words that I have kept imprinted on my heart since. Not much for such an epic thing as Post Rhoads History, but at least, I took part and done my part to keep his memory alive and be rewarded in return.
We are all part of it, we are family, we all took part in our bit to keep Randy's memory alive, whether its just a simple salute to the "Electric Angel" or participated in Matt's Randy Rhoads Project CD, to the eccentric youtube videos, we all dedicate to the big man, in some way.
Now in family, we have members we dislike, members youre embarrassed to be related to, or members who act like spoilt brats, but the truth is they are our blood, thus, Randy Rhoads members, we may not
like certian members, but we keep it in the family, we dont drag everyone else down with the fighting okay?
This Documentary seems to be the latest thing that has caused a lot of bitching, fighting, acting like two vampires fighting over a bloodbag, all I got to say is this, stop the fighting, stop bitching about whos done what or who done what, i dont give a flying merekat what the problems are, or who started it, who did what, point is, we do what we do, and we leave it at that, you wanna fight about it? Go have a fight elsewhere, I am sick to death of seeing members bitching. It's upsetting and sad, and hey, I thought we were adults?
I for one, will be one of the members who will buy this Peter Margolis documentary when it comes out, why? yeah P.M has shown some bitterness, but I wanna see what he has done, as a filmmaker, I wanted to make a documentary about Randy myself, but found no contacts or didn't even know where to begin, now being on a degree Film and Television Production course for a year (which by the way I got 5 Bs and 3 Cs for my end of year results) I would be interested to see how a documentary about one of my heroes is made, in essence i'm not only looking forward to seeing the actual film, but the behind the scenes of it too (I hope it will be on the DVD) but, I can wait, whenever it will surface this documentary, it will come in it's own accord, so let's wait... and hey, as for me and my documentary idea, I might make another (different) documentary, one day...
Now look, people, I want you to just do me a favour, do yourselves one if you think I'm just the little man, just stop the arguing over petty shit, I've already came close to leaving this message board because it's not the same as it once was, don't completely destroy what's left okay guys? If you have a disagreement, sort it out in PMs okay? PMs as in Private Messaging not Pass My Shotgun... If it gets too much and you feel you're loosing the war, then is it really worth fighting for? drop out and be a man, or if you're a woman fighting, be a woman!
We're all equals here, because we have one thing in common, we are all behind a computer screen. Remember that people.
We're not gauls, we don't fight with fish, we fight with fingers, just we gotta learn to remember to clench our fists and stop typing for a sec.
I close this with saying that I hope I have not offended anyone, but I wanted to let this out now, before I (I know I am only one member, not much of a loss, but still, we guys gotta stick together) end up leaving the boards permanently.
Take care everyone, may all your gods, no matter what colour, race, age, sex, fictional or not, bless you all.
Simon
