Mike Smalt photos of Randy Rhoads

[DMRX]

Right that Judge Judy was Great!!!! What a Toolbox.I remember him Threatening to send those pics to the Rhoads Family ,& all that Kelly Garni B.S,like canlelight things & such .
Which was like an hour of him badmouthing KG & trying to trash RR,just BS
But as the Photographers,they make their Living off of their Pics,anyone can point & push the button on a camera,but it IS a ART & some are much better than Others just as Any Other art.
But I just got a New Copy of Off the Rails (as my 1st is in 4-5 pieces from reading so many times) & Now the Layout is Very Nice & professional,where the 1st had ALOT of TypeOs
And about a Dozen pics from Rudys Collection.Now this New edition has a Buch of AWSOME
never before published Pics of Randy & the BOO & Diary tour.Theres even a pic w/Bob Daisely in the background (just his head) & he is given credit:) & a pic of Ozzy from the Never say Die Tour.But I assume Rudy got a Better publishing deal & was able to Afford to add all those Ross Haflin (which was the Band Photographer on the US Tours) pics.
I was sorta getting Steamed when I heard as far as the beginning of 2010,Rudy still on Mutiple shows & Radio programs doing Press on Off the Rails (it came out in 06 or 07)
But Now I understand & am not rubbed as wrong.I know Rudy went through Hell w/the Osbournes ,because he Originaly had a deal w/Cherry Lane publishing (they do Alot of Guitar Tab Books) & I guess when Sharon got wind of that,she threatened to pull Ozzys Catalog from them if they released it,so Rudy had to put it out on his own.I think he Sugar coated alot & left ALOT of the Decadance out of it,but it still is great & says nothing Negative about the Osbournes,or anyone for that.

why is this egotistical blues putz here on the website of the most humble player on earth???

The old saying 'an empty vessel echoes loudest' applies to that narcissist.

i got a lot of old friends in austin(lived & played there for years)no one knows who this guy is.
his links don't work & as far as i know he hasn't played the iconic spots on 6th....

Thats because he is from Huntington, WV. Trust me... Everyone on the scene in Huntington knows of him. It's always great for a quick laugh. Just listening to the dude talk is great.

How he ever got involved with KG is beyond me. Do yourself a favor and go youtube the video they did together... My God

i live in kentucky now & i'm from south texas but all i can say is wow.. is this dude a parody of himself?
he has no sense of rythym & to call the kings of austin out & then to run for mayor?? sheesh...
i'd love to see kinky freedman bitchslap him silly.

is this the 2011 version of spinal tap? he playedd Dee well but other than that.. he's not that good & that thing w/ kelly garni is a joke- kelly garni is a joke....He wanted out of music then rudy came in then Randy died & after 25 years Kelly Garni shows up again...

it's all a friggin' joke...and a bad one @ that...


if ya want some truth i'll give ya some truth as per Delores Rhoads less than an hour ago.
she doesn't know anymore-when she was healthy &younger,she handled it all.. it's not that way anymore... it's all money now. everybodyelse poisoned the point of perpetuating the legacy...
just go listen to th music...

hey blues can you elaborate more on that conversation with delores i didnt get it...she doesnt know anymore???

it was just 1 question i had for MRS. Rhoads-see i talked to her back in '84.. i'm not implying that she is senile although she has been sick lately but she still took the time to talk to me.. let's make that clear!!!!

the latest "relic"series of jackson guitars- ya know the one's she signed the certificate & they go for $12,000+.
i asked her if after all these years, if the guitar has yellowed or aged any (nitro finish) she didn't know or couldn't remember.
i don't think she was there for the opening of that particular case. but.. the lady has been sick & is up in years so i didn't press....

i have the same home # for her i have had since 1984(so don't you people go bothering her)when she hand signed a postal receipt for a gift from me. i'll show y'all that when my mom delivers it from MY vault in march.


anyway- my whole question was on this topic- who made the longer straight tremolo arm on the concorde & later replaced on the sandoval PDV- karl didn't know when i talked to him..

& was the concorde a nitro finish? and did it age?.. when i get back w/ mike shannon,then you too will know...

You really dont want to see the pics. There hard to look at. Then after you do you spend the rest of your life thinking about how bad this plane crash really was.

Why can't we decide for ourselves?

I've read the autopsy report a hand full of times when I could find it. Until the internet all I heard about the way Mr. Rhoads died was a plane crash and that was it. Plus a bunch of speculations, stories and rumors.

Why should a select few be the only ones to indulge their curiosity?
