Ultimate Rhoads

A photo I've not seen before, taking during the 1981 European tour.

This must of been in the early stages of discussing what to call the band. Ozzy always had the name Blizzard of Ozz in mind. This was going back as far as 1978. I recently found this early promo photo which was used in press packs in July / August 1980. If you see in the tex the words Ozzy Osbourne ...

A cool set of drawings and invoices for the sale of the original Karl Sandoval PDV. Specs and breakdown of the parts needed to make this guitar. A great collection and up for auction... Stupidly priced.

This is an interesting piece, a letter hand wrote to Kevin Dubrow back in 1980. This was a few weeks before they started recording the debut album. It looks like they are still in the stage of writing the album and it's not long after Lee Kerslake has joined the band. A glimpse into a day in the lif...

I think this is only the second Rhoads used guitar that has been up for sale. It has good providence and the price is estimated high.. It has a few hours left until the auction ends.

Your culture... ? Its called respect and if you cannot understand what I'm saying your pure ignorant

I find it very disrespectful to talk about this so soon after the guys funeral. It's like relatives rubbing their hands at a wake waiting for their cut of their wealth.. It's shit antics and I would be the first one to call them all. Keep it for another time OK.

Was that the footage snippet that was seen during the Villa park Rhoads tribute film. It was up on the screens with Kathy saying a few words. I seen someone mentioning this on a FB page. It was rumoured she had some unseen footage.

A new addition to my collection. Interesting info how the history changes these words for the benefit of others..

Jake E Lee could have been with a diff group. Yeah for sure he could of played with Rudy and Mike Bordin. That was a blessing that Nuno was with him. As Jake was having issues, shaking his head and not feeling good about what he could hear. With his wrist supported he is still not up to the job. Re...

Yeah it's well put together, he doesn't hold back and it's warts and all. Pulling no punches I'd read it again. top stuff.

OK it was doomed from the start, then announced Ozzy would be only doing 5 songs, sitting down because of his health. We watched it and overall it was OK with some great performances from Nuno Bettincourt KK Downing Mike Bordin, Travis Barker, Rudy Sarzo. But some of the acts came across bad. Sammy ...

OK we have it coming Ozzys last gig. It looks like a train wreck before the wheels have went round once. Announcements after it sold out. Ozzy will not be doing a full set only bits n pieces. I can only say thank god I seen him when he could do a full set. What a crying shame.

I knew that he wouldn't of been shot for no reason. This is a further update explaining more details of the night in question.

If you don't already know Jake was shot at and hit 3 times by an unknown gunman, while out walking his dog. Does anyone not think that this is suspicious and why was he shot at. According to the details he was out in the early hours 2.40am. This guy pulled a gun out and emptied the semi automatic pi...
