Re: Working on Randy's Guitars

That makes sense as I had a G&L years ago and its tremolo was the best I have played and stayed in tune. I always noticed that Randy did seem to go a little more crazy with the trem bar later in the diary tour while using the Concorde & polka dot during believer, suicide solution solo, and s...

Re: MXR® Randy Rhoads Special Edition Distortion+

I've been seeing a lot of talk about it, but I've not seen anywhere about what actually makes this different than a regular Distortion+ ? I get that the modern standard one uses silicon, I think, and the old ones used germanium, but like 10 years ago they had released a vintage script version (that...

Ozzy is open to using AI to create a new song with Randy..

Really interesting that the question was asked and he is surprisingly open to it. They basically said there is nothing left of Randy as far as unreleased songs, other than what Bob's holy grail contains. Sharons brings it up and basically shoots it down as a cassette recorder and not worth anything ...

Re: Jack Osbourne talks on possible Grail release.

Great to hear Jack finally talk about it, he's really the only one that can be trusted on all sides. Funny how it's apparently in the Rhoads family's hands now, Kathy is now going to be asked non-stop as to why they are not giving the approval :D

Re: Anybody seen this?

Would like to hear it directly from Calhoun, and the only way he would know that for a fact is if he was actually watching the plane come in and saw those flaps adjust like that, and didn't the Ozzy camp have to go into the house to get him out because he was sleeping or something? The flaps could h...

Re: Were soundchecks recorded?

That's the interview where Paul talks about Randy's live tone during the summer of 1981. Paul is also trying to find out how Randy got that glassy and somewhat of a chorus tone during that time. Chuck Wiesner was the sound engineer but sadly he died a few years go, he is likely the only one that wo...

Re: TA plays Crazy Train and talks about Randy

The guy is an absolute beast. Can’t believe he can still play like that at 72, even more so playing like that every night for 50+ years.

Re: Kathy states there will be an “exciting announcement” on Randy’s birthday..

I don't quite understand why they just stopped at the Distortion + pedal. Would have been a much bigger announcement if they had said they were releasing a Chip Pan replica. I mean, they had the entire pedalboard right there, took pictures of everything I'm sure and got all the measurements. Yeah, ...

Re: Kathy states there will be an “exciting announcement” on Randy’s birthday..

The announcement is a new Randy Rhoads MXR Distortion Plus pedal. Jim Dunlops team came to Musonia and examined Randy’s pedalboard in detail. Looks like they had a cameraman there to document it. Hopefully they do an article on the details and mystery of the pedalboard when the new pedal(s) are rele...

Re: Kathy states there will be an “exciting announcement” on Randy’s birthday..

Nothing so far. But it could be an Ozzy announcement that she knows about as well, could be anything.

I heard last week that the Rhoads family was involved in choosing which actor would play Randy in the Ozzy/Sharon biopic. So it could be that as well.

Re: Sony CyberSecurity Hack

You can search through all the emails online still, it's not illegal to do so. I searched them and there is nothing regarding Randy, Ozzy, or Kevin Churko.
