hey everyone. i've had a very hectic couple of days which tonight resulted in me auditioning for a band in my local area. I didn't really know what to play so i played part of randys spotlight solo and a bit of no bone movies.
they gave me the gig in a splitsecond!
so once again thankyou mr rhoads, the ability of your solo spot to win hearts in auditions clearly transcends time...but is it any surprise
*they've also got a small record deal, so ive gotta work as kinda a session musician next week laying down some solos before writing new stuff after that!!!!!!!!! i am very happy
the lesson from this event IF YOU WANT YOUR AUDITION TO GO WELL PLAY SOME OF RANDYS SOLO SPOT ... it clearly is magical
Well done, I think that just goes to show how it bit of Mr Rhoads is still considered/discovered to be current, even with all the music that has followed him in the nearly 26 years since we lost him.
Well done RP

yep and to think that they wouldnt even have known who he was if i hadnt told them
in another 26 years will his music still have the same effect
I think it will. His music is so timeless. I wasnt trying to be a dick by saying that comment either by the way. I play parts of that solo when I want to impress aswell, and your right, it works like a charm!

YEs, I think he will be discovered time and time again. I also think that because 'Diary' has aged so well it could be another few years before that starts to date.

its ok i know you was joking, it was a weird audition though i think they were looking for technique more than style, thats why i went for some randy stuff
thanks, im just happy to have finnaly found some guys who im on the same wavelenght with musicaly, plus i get along well with them.
im not to sure about the record deal thing though, i have the feeling it wont come off still i just want to play for fun im not trying to become an international rockstar
i am very happy
