It's misleading to people who don't know any different, witnessing the aftermath of a crash is totally different to witnessing it, "neither here nor there" is far from the mark. If I say in regards to a crash, "I didn't hear about it, I witnessed it", then most people would take that as me seeing the crash happen. He was there that horrific day, and I imagine it was a brutal experience too, but if you are going to recall something, recall it factually or not at all....just sounds like he's trying to involve himself more in it than he actually was.......it's BS.shred1 wrote:Misleading? He was there that horrific day. So, whether he witnessed the 'impact' or not is neither here nor there.
I imagine it was a brutal experience. I wouldn't want to talk about it in detail either.
This rewriting history 'mantra' is getting old.
Except for the fact that we do actually know from several different people about the beginnings of QR and Blizzard. The people who were there at the time.axeman_12656 wrote:Speaking a "rewriting history" I heard an interview with Quiet Riot in 1979 the other day and in it they asked how the band started. Randy himself left Kelly Garni completely out of the story and stated He and Kevin started the group. Kinda made me think about Bob and how just maybe Randy... Well.. you know how history can repeat itself sometimes.
I dont buy into this statement at all.rokket wrote:just sounds like he's trying to involve himself more in it than he actually was.......it's BS.

And by your logic, if you turned the corner and saw two cars smashed up and on fire, you witnessed the accident. No you didn't, what you saw was AFTER the accident, big difference. According to the news reporter based on the story, both Ozzy and Rudy witnessed the plane crash first hand as it plunged into the mansion......bullshit......and what date did this happen.....March 20 according to the reporter.....for god sake...the whole thing is a right off....shred1 wrote:rokket, with that sort of logic, if you get t-boned by a car you didn't see, then you weren't in an accident!

The re-writing history mantra, as you put it, is only getting old, it seems, as it keeps being perpetuated.
Semantics?.....answer one question for me. Did Rudy witness the plane crash? or did Rudy witness what had happened AFTER the plane crashed? It's a very big difference.shred1 wrote:If the plane hit the bus you were on, you were in the accident.
Semantics be damned.
I was waiting for that, that's hysterical...!!!!!shred1 wrote:.just sounds like he's trying to involve himself more in it than he actually was.......it's BS.
Uhmmmm. Bob Daisley anyone?
Rudy say's of the crash, "I didn't hear about it, I witnessed it" ...his words, not mine. My only point was that to people who are not familar with what happened, they would walk away thinking, "god Rudy saw the crash"..........and thats not the case.axeman_12656 wrote:That peice was FULL of mis-information. But Rokket i think you are making more of his words that what they are. He DID NOT say... i saw the whole thing, it did this and that. He never said that. At that point.. he would be blowing smoke.
