Petty? It was a misunderstanding and it was resolved in private. I apologize for my part in the public comments. Thanks to the Admins for weeding out the unnecessary stuff.Jake_E_Lee wrote:I saw the petty fight between RhoadsOliva and RockyRhoads a couple of days ago and didnt bother to contribute.
Trigger is right, I've heard a lot of people - including "Lintball" - who make claims that they know someone who has footage but they can't show anyone... 99.9% of the time that means they are making it up. the other .1% of the time it's because they have been asked not to talk about it by the person with the footage because that person doesn't want to be inundated with requests.
The soundcheck footage is from an interview DVD and where it cuts off is a segue into the interview with Ozzy. That interview takes place out behind the venue the day of the show. Being that there is some soundcheck stuff (and there is a lot of video of the equipment, etc. before Randy shows up) and then an interview with Ozzy, I am sure there is at least another few minutes of Randy playing and possibly Rudy and Tommy checking their gear as well. Who has that footage is anybody's guess.
I did read about a guy who worked at a film editing place years ago who found a lot of Hendrix footage in a garbage can. Seems the people editing the film for a newscast took what they needed for their segment and trashed the rest, figuring it was of no real value.
I'd hate to think that this soundcheck footage or the "Two on the town" stuff, etc. also was trashed. Although Randy was alive and kicking at the time and no one could have know what the future held...
