Big Ginger Git (thanks BGG!) over on the PRS Birds & Moons posted this (I couldn't wait for you guys to see it)... very cool.
I saw the 'Blizzard of Ozz' tour back in '82? in Amarillo Texas and Randy blew us away... only the good die young.

Thanks - that was cool.

 

[koogie2k]

Yeah, that was cool. What is really cool is that Keith was a student of his....sad Randy left us so early...

Randy was one of the reasons I started playing.

$99 from a company called knucklebonz. Saw the ad in GP

Ditto.

I knew I had to play guitar after seeing him live.
He just took you in.
Thanks for the post.

I know a website I have saved at work I'll link you to. The guy takes VHS and 'transfers' them to dvd. He's overseas and his shipping is very good. I don't know how you feel about bootlegs but some things that are rare or only on VHS are only available as a bootleg... He does have about 6 or so Randy Rhoads dvd items amongst hundreds of other 'transfers' of other bands. One of the Randy Rhoads was live with Quiet Riot in LA or something. Kinda cool... Probably be Monday before I can get the link.

Video of Randy Rhoads...

That was truly inspirational. Thanks for sharing that. I really got emotional. Randy was my Idol... can you tell?

Me in '86.

My friend has that Kershner thing I think. He let me borrow it a few months ago. It has Crazy Train on it too. Smart guy, my friend. He has already made a special trip to get it back.

I remember when they used to do ZOO WORLD in Dallas. When Blizzard was out they handed out 45's of Crazy Train. We talked them into a case. I can't find a one. Sux.

Later,

Rod

Pro-chops. However, I have just been humbled by a 22 year old video clip of a truly gifted 22 year old master... noodling around.

Did anyone notice the last couple chords and lick? Eruption?

Man I just read his whole story, poor lad didn't even want the f*&^%$ scene he was into...anyway here is a link to a pretty informative website with vids (even though their bandwidth is maxed, they'll be up soon enough)

Hey Rod,
I have an old bandmate that was in a band in Dallas back in the day. The name of the band was Solinger. Ring any bells?

Hello Jay,

It honestly does sound familiar. I really only remember a few locals from back then:
Savvy, US Kids, Pantera (of course).

I really only remember a few "anythings" from back then for reasons I am sure you can guess.

Later.
