This is a hard one to be honest. Every piece is always worth something in my opinion. Possibly the original vinyls, they are the only piece i can almost gurantee were around at the time, or for a short time after.

This is close to my single favorite RR item... :D

And more special to me because I made it with a professional leather dude who customized the studs to every detail. 8)

Custum made Diary vest, got as close as I could. :D

I looked months for a vest close enough to Randy's, and then I bought the studs, (very close to Randy's), and paid a pro leather shop for customization.

And I like my RR guitars, LOL ... :lol:

Mine favorite pieces are my original backstage passes from both the Blizzard and Diary North American tours that have taken me a few years to collect.

I've got several things over the years...the vinyl studio albums of course, plus several posters, my favorite is the "sayonara" poster from 1985, a few bootlegs on vinyl (all sound lousy)..... the E.P. w/ "You Said It All". A bunch of buttons with Randy's image on them. The blue and white jacket patch "RANDY RHOADS" which I've never mounted on anything...it's in a frame. My most prized possession is Randy's autograph which I got in 1981..... :wink:

My favorite would be a backstage pass that was supposed to be for Rochester,N.Y 1982.Also a recording of private home guitar lessons that Randy did in 1978.

That would have been a Randy show but the 82 show was after he died with Bernie Torme on guitar. Whats the date on it I guess it's April 1982.

Interesting question...

Other than family photos which are priceless to me, I'd say the autograph he gave me (see the "a story" thread), or the bottle of cologne I have that belonged to him - Kingsmen, andaman citrus cologne.

My former favorites that were stolen from my family - please contact me if you see them: 1) a QR "1976 world tour" jersey shirt that belonged to Randy, and that my grandfather financed; 2) a QRII LP signed by Randy to my family ("to Dave, Mary, Dan, Tom, Julie, and Gary...Love Randy"); I also lost the first QR single and the original QR EP.

Gary, I feel so sad for you. That shirt is something that should be kept with your heart and was stolen, guitaridol has lots of memorabilia himself and will say that its something to keep close. i feel for you, as i do for Kevin and the loss of his footage. I hope you all get reunited with it some day!
