Re:

I remember reading an interview in the 80's sometime after Jake was let go, and Ozzy said that Jake got to a point where he would rather work on his cars than practice playing guitar. Ozzy said whenever he wanted to work on some new material Jake always had something else to do.Thats what the inter...

Re: Zakk's most memorable solos

Zakk has amazing riffs... I'd easily pick out a dozen or so and hold them up against anything Tony Iommi, Jimmy Page and Angus/Malcolm Young have done. However... the solos are just not on the same level. But there have been some good ones. In particular ... DEMON ALCOHOL... great fucking tune and a...

Re: Is this one of RR's vest ?

Based on the little shrine showing Randy IN the vest... and it being a gift, I would say it was authentic.

SInce Zakk is such a Randy fan, I imagine he'd brave a burning building to save this vest over any of his guitars.

I know I would.

Re: Why is Warren Demartini underrated?

Mediocre talent in an mediocre band... outplayed and out performed by 20 other bands in the same genre... and outplayed by 50 other guitarists in the same era. He's not under-rated. He's right where he belongs. This is mediocre??? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=p1Pi93J...

Re: Talk about boxset here-Not for the faint at heart

The best part of this set for me is just seeing Ozzy listening to Randy's music.... the emotion he is feeling is so apparent. That man adored Randy.... When he's listening to Dee and puts his head down, almost about to cry... then looks up and smiles. Thats a priceless moment. A man remembering his ...

Heres a shorter list. The Thing The Elephant Man The Remains of the Day The Verdict Creepshow Day Of...

I vote leave the account open, that way we can dredge up all your posts, comment on them in funny, witty, sarcastic and facetious ways.... get no response from you and feel like we have gotten the last word in.

Re: Do you think more Randy Rhoads footage exists?

Based on the fact that OZZY had never seen the footage from the NY Paladium show... and never heard some of the out-takes of Randys studio material... there has got to be footage we have never seen. There are literally thousands of randy pics out there... and still more keep popping up. It will surf...
