Ultimate Rhoads

I'm not sure this is the proper area to post this, but I wanted to show you guys what my wife gave me for a birthday cake this weekend. It's a PDV and it was HUGE! It was around 2.5 feet long, almost playable! Hahaha! The girl that created it did a really sweet job, excuse the pun. Click on the imag...

It's such a brilliant piece! I will never grow tired of it. Haunting and beautiful. It would be incredible if we could get Kevin Churko to do a special mix of Diary, where you can hear all of Randy's parts and release it on Record Store Day. Just throwing that out to the universe in case anyone is r...

When the story is looked at objectively based on all the stories of those who were there, it was an accident. The band and Ayecock watched Midway the night before the plane crash. The movie features LOTS of kamikaze scenes. Rock stars are notorious for poor judgment and crazy antics. The plane was ...

It's odd that most of the people mention Super 8 video without sound, but we have sound on the Diary show from the Chicago area. I'm sure there are more videos with sound collecting dust in some box somewhere. We may never see them, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. I would LOVE to see the two s...

Here's a new one to add. This is a very interesting site: http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/heavy-me ... caust.html

Kelle Rhoads did tell me himself that Randy owned the first Queen record and asked Kelle to check it out. He liked them. You can even hear him playing Tie Your Mother Down on one of the lesson tapes. I'm pretty sure that was the song. It's been a little while since I've heard it.

I absolutely LOVE Cheap Trick, but have to admit Rick's lead playing isn't technical, but good. Unfortunately his live playing has been very sloppy. I don't know if it's because he is getting older or if he just never challenged himself. It would be interesting to know what songs Randy did work on w...

I'm being a little sheepish about opening the live album. They are sealed, the singles aren't. I may want it keep them sealed as I collect old Ozzy lp's sealed in my collection. Yes, it is a gatefold. If the pics turn out to be lame, I won't open them. Anyone know if the vinyl is colored? Go on Han...

Maybe future pressings won't be the 180Grams but who knows.? How many are there of each? Anything bout the single? The Flying high again single from last years RSD didn't have a number but the UK version was slightly different than the US (credits) but who knows how many there are out there? Cue Ju...

Silver Rhoads, are you in the US? US pressings? I wonder if there are any differences in the international/UK ones? Yes, I'm in the U.S. Doubt there is any difference. It would be cool if there were differences. The Double Live will be released on a larger scale on May 21st. I went ahead and picked...

Click on the thumbnails for a much larger size! Believer is a 7" or 45rpm single with a polka dot picture disc inside. The Live album is the same concert as box set, along with Goodbye to Romance Vocal/Guitar and RR solo. Rhoads photos on back of both from same show by Mark Weiss. Inside of Liv...

Ozzy's official announcement with photos of the covers and track listing: http://www.ozzy.com/us/news/two-special-ozzy-osbourne-releases-set-record-store-day-april-21 My only concern is if Ozzy is truly releasing these to commemorate Randy's passing after 30 years, there should be tons of Randy phot...

They have a spokesperson talking about some of the releases. He was able to show the Believer single, but not the live album. Coming this weekend already! It will be interesting and a cool collectible to have a polka dot vinyl picture disc. Hope there is some great artwork for the live double LP. ht...

doubt it, his photos are expensive.. but jay banburys shots are awesome and very affordable! Well, he was charging $1,500.00 U.S. dollars for poster-sized prints of his rare New York shots. Maybe things will be different on the new site. I'm hoping they will be affordable. However the Randy shirts ...

That's an excellent photo and Randy's well happy :lol: I've seen a couple from the same shoot, one with $haron O and a couple of group shots. Cheers for posting that up :wink: . You guys are welcome. I would like to thank Ross Halfin for uploading it. He did take some great shots of Randy. He also ...
