Ultimate Rhoads

Does anybody know when Randy had the tooth ache and how close it was to the day of the accident? I only wonder because Randy's toxicology report shows he had traces of mild painkillers in his body, specifically Darvocet. This is known because of the salicylic acid and propoxyphene combination, which...

I snagged my brass control and toggle back plates on ebay before the official release of the RR LP. They were about 30 shipped from the same seller. I bought them once I realized they were on the RR LP, evidently before everyone else. I bought them from seller "wammiworld" yet I just check...

I'm still waiting on his Les Paul to get the treatment from the Custom Shop. Not that I'll buy one, but I would love to play one. I don't know, maybe I have been spoiled as a classical guitarist. If you buy a hand made classical guitar, it is made by usually one man. Each instrument he builds has l...

I haven't posted here or at .tk in a while, mostly due to a loss of respect for a good portion of the members stemming from the great zeus/trailer/margolis menstration/ incident of '09.... One thing I can say I learned from this experience is that Kelly is a standup guy and possibly one of the only ...

This made my day, Kelli Garni is the man of men. Is this an Ultimate Rhoads exclusive? Haha cheers

I'm tired of all this legal jargon being thrown around recently; to Peter, get ontop of things man and cover your ass legally it should have been the first thing you did rule number one in the entertainment industry. I don't care how it happened but these are the people who are about to give you mon...

lmao, photoshopped

That's awesome! I wish they had something like this in the states, but then again the last thing I need is more debt haha.

This story is great man, I would play any of Randy's guitars in a heartbeat.

in the first half of the twentieth century a drummer name Gene Krupa was accused of smoking marijuana. What did that have to do with his drumming? All this behind the music stuff bores me. It was probably the reason why he was so damn good :D. I always post in threads that bore me too, haha j/k man

Was that post for my benefit or just general info ? My posts were towards lordthurisaz question. I was regarding tricks as something you can do without having to put any money into it, string trees are a source of friction and a cause of knocking your tuning out. They are there for a reason, but if...

Why isn't anyone mentioning some solutions to keep a vintage strat trem in tune? I don't think it was mentioned in this thread at all but.... remove string trees, any part on the guitar where the string will catch will knock it out of tune. Make sure the nut is loose and not pinching the strings, g...

Just an interesting little tidbit, and Randy WAS an addict man ever hear how often he smoked? haha regardless haha mojo risin'

That's an awesome story man I can only imagine. Interesting little tidbit about the bridge set up. +1

Back then everyone did coke, before the whole crack thing coke was well seen to be as harmless as cannabis is. Compared to Ozzy I'm sure it was negligible.
