I must say I have seen tons of crazy crap on these forums and have laughed as well at most of the post and egos on display. I remember the dogfall guy that everyone hated for calling out Peter and exploiting things he knew and now Kelly Garni is confirming what the guy said about Peter's character ..I also think kevin dubrow said the same thing.
sometimes it pays to listen to the messenger.

Indeed there has been a falling out between all parties involved. I wish I could say more. But the main thing that pissed me off, was when Peter's "people" called me up to get them out of a jam they had themselves been dumb enough to get themselves into. I did as I was asked, spoke to Romeo, and the Trailer was removed with the cooperation of all. I asked Peter's people to NOT go on the boards and say they are pulling the plug on the film, that's spitting in the face of all the fans. What did they do? Not even 1 hour off the phone they put up another post saying they were stopping production. My reaction was not too pleasant. I made phone calls and chopped off several heads. When I gotta do it, I bring it, baby. Apparently Peter was none too pleased about the way I spoke to his little peoples. I left Peter a message to call me and we would discuss the entire incident. My intent was to get a trailer out that everyone could see without fear of legal action. I've seen a couple of different versions of trailers over at Dakota and they were all better than what was out there. I was also informed that money was tight and getting an editor was something that was a problem at the moment. I called up an editor who had worked on the film with Peter but who had to leave for financial and personal reasons. I BEGGED HIM to do it for free. He agreed to do so as long as I stepped in to help. Now, I do not admit to being in the film industry, or having any knowledge of it. I do not know how to run these computer programs neccsary to get the work done. I never said I could. But I do write scripts (even went to college for it) and not only do I know the story, and lived much of it, I have the ability to tell it. I volentired to go to LA for a couple of days a week to help get this done. I admit this is Peter's film and HE should be the one to make it. To date, he has done a very good job, that I admit. But I was told he only had so much time to work on it, as he "had to make a living too". In other words, this is a spare time project, at least that's the way he made me feel. Me, and the Rhoads family thought we were getting someone who was going to put a 100% into this. A real film company with a real director. As it stands now, at least in my opinion, we are getting only a fraction of his time and effort. When I left Peter a message to call me, it was a very friendly message. Even though I had just gotten off the phone and had blood all over my axe. But you see, these "Hollywood Big Time Director Types" have very fragile egos. And I guess you just don't go around sacking their underlings. If you do that, then you're out. And you won't get a phone call back. My bad, I guess. I went to see Romeo as I was taking care of some business in the Knoxville area. Don't ask me what it was or even speculate. W. Virg. was'nt that far of a drive. I thought Romeo was a cool guy on the phone and when he told all the outlandish things he had been promised to give them this "video" it smacked a bit of my experience with Peter. I was promised stuff too and it was dilibrete acts that made them not happen. He was promised stuff Peter could never deliver. They tried to hustle him as much as he worked them. Only he won. So I went to visit this "Madman" and everyone told me I was crazy for going alone. But I wasn't afraid, I knew he just loved Randy and wanted to see something. That's really not so wrong. I had a nice drive, took some pictures and visited Romeo and made the video for fun and to drive home a point to Peter that you cannot ignore ME. I'm watching my friends back and the family's too. I needed to see a few things for myself. And I saw. I can safely say that Peter's business practices have not been anything we would approve of. I'm a big believer in communication. And the fact that he's too "whatever" to call me, speaks volumes. Trust me when I say this, he would like nothing better than to be done with this and rid of all us. And, the feeling is mutual. I offered to help but all I got was FU. I believe he will do a great job on this and you will all get to see and know the real Randy. But he didn't make any friends along the way. That's for sure. I am very offended that he sees me as an enemy at this point. That is a big mistake. He needs me. Because you know what? I bet there's another screw up down the road. And who's he gonna call now? Ghostbusters? I am so hurt that a story about my friend has brought out the worst in some. All the hate, all the things said, all the posturing up for a fight. The finger pointing. All of it. All I have to do is write this and there will be more trouble. Silly, innit?

Hey Kelly, you and I met face to face a few years back... remember the Savage Grace CDs and the Alice Cooper bootleg form the Hollywood Bowl?
I was not blessed with the gift of music as Randy was, but I have been blessed with the gift of judging people. I've never met someone I couldn't 'know' from the start. If they're shady, I can tell. If they are cool. I can tell. It's a gift I thank God for.
I've never met Peter, but I could tell from his comments online, especially his threats, that he's not above board on this documentary. I've questioned his comments, only to be crucified by members of the RR fan community.
It's a shame to hear from you that I was right about Peter.
From what you told me about Randy and from what I've learned about him from people like Frank Santa Cruz and Kevin DuBrow, Randy Rhoads is not only an inspiration to me as a guitar player, he inspires me as a person. I hope and pray Peter will come to realize the blessing he has been given in regards to telling Randy's story. Meeting you helped me understand what a special person Randy was. Getting to know Frank has shown me a different side of Randy. Someday I'd like to meet Kelle (Doug), Kathy and Randy's mom, I'm sure they'd cement my feeling about Randy, the person.
Thank you, Kelly, for respecting your friendship with randy Rhoads and doing what you can to protect his legacy.
Peter, if you ever take the time to read these posts, please set your ego aside and do right by your teacher and friend.

I would like to see some cool stuff on Randy as well ! But I don't agree with most people on these forums! It would not matter if David Duke & Charles Manson was doing the film,Just as long as it gets done. And along the way we can have as much hatred and murder as they like just as long as the film gets done thats just stupid.
I think the right people need to be involved or take control of this project in mid-flight because I dont think we have seen the last of the bad things to come out of this.
$$$$$$$$ makes people do stupid things~
I was told by a friend that Dakota gave Peter a small budget for this film ..you keep saying this is not Peters film? well you are right Dakota Pictures have a great investment so far and Peter don't even work for them. So who is the middle man? I would say the Rhoads have a say over the story but the footage that has been shot is owned by Dakota Pictures and they could lock it away never to be seen.

Re: Kelly Garni's post about Peter
Does this mean they expected him to work full time on the documentary?Vguy2, Kelly Garni wrote:Me, and the Rhoads family thought we were getting someone who was going to put a 100% into this.
To me expecting someone to work 3 years full time on this kind of documentary is a bit unrealistic. Makes me wonder how things were agreed in the first place......? (I always assumed they wouldn't work full time on this documentary, and if I remember correctly I read something about that long ago already)
The winner of the rat race is still a rat.
No worries ! 
It seems when Peter first came onto the rr.tk board he was all happy as shit to be with us over there. Now that i look back on it, He was all happy until he sucked the board dry up of all its knowledge about Randy and now(even before this whole leaked doc thing) he does not come around anymore.
He seemed to go from a happy dude we could all talk to, to being a complete dickhead.
I am finding my time over at these boards more worthwhile now. I think even though the TK boards are great i think there are subjects we should be allowed to talk about over there regarding Randy.
Over here it seems we can talk about anything and everything which is great!

Apparently you missed the part of not pre-judging others.Good to see dont understand your own religion/superstition/quackery.
Unreal that you are bashing a person and his film based on not having EVER seen the film or communicated with them personally.What a clown.
I s your gift the same one that allowed you to judge that gomer pyle romeo tool as a good person?The guy that hijacks a film trailer by lying and then makes all sorts of lewd comments about randy s family with a hijacked acct on tk.
Hey motherfucka, who gives a fuck how I got the trailer, it wouldn't matter if I would have had to killed to gotten it, it would have been worthwhile. We are talking about RANDY RHOADS here motherfucka and RANDY RHOADS is more important than the lives of that peice of shit Peter Margolis and his whole fucked up family put together. If God or the Devil himself were to come down to Earth tonight and tell me hey, I'll make you a deal, I'll let you see the Pro Shot Blizzard DVD now, but by seeing it, it will cause Peter and his whole family to die horrible deaths, I'd say bring that motherfuckin Blizzard footage on and let Peter & his family die and rot in hell. That's what I think of Peter. Fuck Peter and his ego. YOu can call me names all you want Oth aka Peters people, but we all know you are just pissed because your fragile ego is so hurt cause I outsmarted you and got your fucking trailer out to everyone, so fuck you.
oath, do you believe people do not have the right to question ? 
With everything that has been stated in articles and interviews regarding this film, it seems as though the main object of the film has been lost , Randy and Dee, and egos have strayed !
Your comments have done nothing more than create negativity, something I don't believe was ever a part of the Rhoads family, especially Randy! I would guess you need to rethink your stance ? Dee deserved this documentary to be delivered in timely manner, with the utmost respect. 103 interviews later, each interview hours long, cut down to what? No disrespect intended, but some of us knew him oath, don't point fingers !

Peter Margolis don't give a fuck about Delores Rhoads, at this point Peter Margolis don't give a fuck about the film anymore either. Peter is a obssessed peice of shit, he did all this for his own personal reasons and gains. If Dakota would let Peter get out of doing this film, Peter would probably bail. That's why we don't have a film yet cause Peter isn't giving it 100%, he hardly ever works on it. Peter is a peice of shit.
Romeorose, I did not care for the way you posed your first sentence whatsoever ! It is very obvious to many what has happened, but your potty mouth gets too carried away at times. I therefore, will no longer post on this forum, because I am tired of seeing the "F" word and Dee's name in the same sentence! Out of respect, Goodbye, RRfish OUT!
Well regardless of where I use the fuck word, it's true, the only lack of respect that has been shown for Delores is the mockery that Peter has made so fatr out of this whole fimling experience. Peter margolis dosen't give a fuck about Delores, that's in no way disrepectful to Delores on my end, fuck has to be put there to properly express how little Delores means to Peter. Peter dosen't care if Delores lives to see the film or not. If he did, he'd quit fucking around and finish it.
