Got to leave the Les Paul on there as it was an integral part in both his time with QR and Ozzy.....!!!

If you go to RR.tk their banner uses the Polka Dot V, Classical guitar and Gibson (not shown but implied).
A banner is more than a cool image to look at. It is a story. It tells you not only who the web site is dedicated to but their personality as well. If we want to show the most complete side to Randy we (all members) should do our best to represent that with this site. If there is a limit to what can be included in the banner then there should be an attempt to be as inclusive as possible. Personally, I would like to have 5 guitars represented.
1) Gibson = Randy's Quiet Riot Days and symbolizes his teaching tool.
2) Polka Dot V = Randy's transition from QR to Ozzy's BOO days (uses Polka Dots in the finish).
3) White Jackson (which I have just been told in a PM is incorrectly called the Concorde) = Randy's original design and symbolizes style and grace.
4) Black Jackson (the real Concorde) = Randy's final days with Ozzy
5) Classical guitar = Randy's fundamental passion and true calling.
What I am hoping for is a banner that will go beyond the usual fanfare of focusing on one dimension of Randy's playing and bring a more complete view of his personality. I invite all members to have a say in what the final banner should say about Randy's life.
Thanks, I do appreciate it. I'm not trying to rock the boat. Silver Rhoads, I appreciate your willingness to alter your masterpiece. I've gotten a few PRO-Concorde posts but everyone seems to be in agreement about the kickassness of the banner. It stands on its own and I must agree. Great job my friend...GUITARIDOL5682 wrote:I understand what you are saying Dave
I think a pic with the white concorde a bit in center of the banner wouldn't look that bad! Now I watch it for a few days, and although it looks great!, something is lacking though.RR-ElectricAngel wrote:Thanks, I do appreciate it. I'm not trying to rock the boat.
