Sorry, still sounds crazy.

[Geo Sav]

What's crazy to me is anything that is Randy related is ether pushed back or shelved. WTF!

No, I would not give up 'everything' to live back in those years. I am 46-years-old, married to a wonderful woman, have 5 amazing children and am thankful to have what I have today. I wouldn't give that up for anything.

Would I like to go back and revisit some of those times? Sure, for a minute. I do that from time to time with my memories and the Internet. Look at this for an example.

If you 'hate' your generation, why not do something to improve it? What is it you hate so much? Think about what you would actually be giving up - you must care about something.

You started your last post with, "What do you expect, I am 16." Sorry for sounding like I'm taking a simple comment too seriously, but that's a cop out. "I'm 16, so I should be forgiven for a ridiculous comment." Our society has many problems because the adults ignore the youth and the youth need adult advice to navigate life. You learn from adults who have gone through this before you. Our experience can aid you in avoiding stupid pitfalls. Those of us who are adults need to help any time we can. That is why I have comment on your posts.

Anyway, I've had my say and I'll let it go.

I hope you eventually find the video you so much want to see.

I think that it's awesome that a younger "generation" has discovered Randy Rhoads- regardless of grammar and syntax- wtg, Randy will never die- and I'm sorry that you weren't bred on the good shit you're into now, it took some time but you've discovered that which you're passionate about- and I don't blame you for wanting more.

The sad fact is that we have very limited pro-shot footage of Randy and there are a host of reasons why that is (some confirmed, some suspected) but chances are that we'll never see it. I have my suspicions that even if there were a plethora of material suddenly discovered that it would be quashed.

I think it's awesome that you have a refined palate as opposed to your peers- all you can do is enjoy what we have left of Randy, his music. Sadly I feel that is all we will ever have of him, which ain't that bad at all.

Imagine being surrounded by people that love rap, Justin Bieber, and Lady GaGa all the time, not that some can't find their artistic value (or any value) but it's not for me that's for sure. I feel for the poor kid- I bet he does try to reach out to others in his age group. Hell, I remember 16 rather well! I was into Ozzy, Maiden, Priest- and it seemed like everyone I knew was into Wham!, Madonna, and whatever pop hit was hot that week and for the lack of better words- f*ck that!

And it's probably even worse, given that his peers have just about everything at the touch of their fingertip- and they still focus on the ish that is glorified in today's music.

I don't know about you, Paul (though I can guess by your response) but I empathize with the kid- he's still trying to find out more about RR, and it is hard for today's youth to fathom that Randy didn't leave a whole lot of media behind. The "stars" in today's youth can't fart without someone tweeting about it.

He does need to learn a little more about English, though! lol

[randy will never die]

Imagine being surrounded by people who love the Wiggles and Choo Choo Soul all the time.

I don't know about you, Paul (though I can guess by your response) but I empathize with the kid

Not sure what your 'guess' would be, but my point is that the kid has to focus on the good in life not the bad. Wishing things were different does no good. You have to work at change and those of us who are adults need to help the younger generation understand that. I have empathy for him, but I felt his comments were crazy so I called him on it and tried to spur further thought on the subject.

Some one that's gets and under stands me almost completey it is verry hard because every one I try to connect with at school likes lady gaga and Justin be bier that's why I have verry few friends

Have you ever tried to understand why they like what they do? The way to make friends is to treat others the way you would like to be treated. If you want them to like you and understand you, you need to understand them and not judge based on their musical choices.

i only have like 5 freinds and 3 of them are basided on music instrest you dont know how school works in my generation so please be nice or stay out of the conversation no disrescpt

Seriously, you need to be respectful of your elders. If you treat people at school like you treated Stiltzkin here then that's why you have few friends.

Many of us went through school already, your generation is no different than ours. Randy had few friends in school and was beat up for being different - do you go through that?

First of all, your description of school is just like my school was 30 years ago. 'It's hard to be a teen in this generation' - every generation has had teens say that.

"music has changed since the 50s 60s 70s and 80s and i dont have much in comon with people at my school"

I live in a small town just south of Olympia, WA. Twenty years ago there was a kid in a small town near here who had the same issues/complaints as you. He started a band and was called 'average' and a 'follower' by the other musicians in the area. He kept doing what he wanted and changed the world with one song.

You can do that, too.

Check your PMs
