I would love to discuss Randy Rhoads and guitar playing in general, with anyone who wants to. However, not so many people seem to want to anymore.
For instance, there is a thread
here entitled, "Play Like Randy". At this moment it's been viewed 42 times and commented on
once. Why is that? An excellent resource to learn to play both Randy's music and his style, but no one wants to discuss it?
Occasionally there is a thread like, "Why did Randy choose UCLA'" or something about what Musonia is like, but most threads these days are about the upcoming documentary, whether or not an autograph is fake, speculation about footage, or links to youtube videos.
Back in the day we'd discuss what kind of strings Randy used, what kind of scales he used and why, his religious beliefs, his musical interests, even what kind of shoes he wore and why he seems to have the same pair of shoes on in every picture. I've asked about each of these things and had lengthy discussions about them... the newer members simply don't ask.
So
duane v, before writing off the community, consider helping bring back the spirit in which we started this thing. Ask questions about Randy Rhoads, spark the conversation by asking questions and making comments. It can be a fun place if you get involved.
