We're toying with the idea of coming down to San Bernardino for the 25th anniversary of that horrible day we would all rather forget. (or make it such that it never happened..)

It gives us an opportunity to show how we feel. And we can pay our respects and keep his memory alive (and show his family that he will stay alive in our hearts and minds forever)

Anything "extra"-special in the works for the 25th ?

Sounds like a good idea. Too bad I cant make it.

After 5 years, Ozzy released Tribute.
After 10 years Ozzy releleased the footage on the Don't Blame Me video.
I wonder if HE'S got any plans for the 25th anniversary.

I thought they were going to release an official version of the Japanese Randy Tribute show and some of the After Hours show stuff on the 25 Anniversary. That's the only thing I've heard.

Same here.

That's what Delores had said at one of the memorials the year it was released in Japan. She showed it at the memorial, and said an international release would follow once the time restrictions (with Sony Japan I believe) were met.

weak....release the pro-footage already!!!

I'm going to do my best to be there next March.

I found the Japanese documentary disappointing. I'd love to see a new documentary that includes more varied input from people he knew or his contemporaries. Rudy didn't add much but I'd love to hear from Don Airey, Don Norman, comments from those who toured with him (like Mike Chapman or Lemmy). Maybe some visits to places from his life like Musonia, some of the early clubs, sadly, the crash site (who was it from this board that wrote such a great account of their visit there).

Hey, how about people from this board plan something cool to help celebrate Randy's life around that time somewhere in SoCal. I'm sure many people will be around then.

Kelle has mentioned that they (the family I assume) are planning "something special" for the 25th anniversary. I'm not sure what that is, or what it may be, but keep your fingers crossed and let's hope it comes to light.

Im planning on going with another member here. Ill be making the cross country flight but its well worth it. I hope something is done but if it isn't, it wont really dissappoint me because Ill finally be able to pay my respects to my hero.

my wife and i are also going to fly out on friday the 16th and return monday the 20th..and it will be the first time i've been to the gravesite..but not my first time to musonia...looking forward to seeing everyone ....oh yea its dan stout that went to leesburg...and its max norman not don norman

we can only hope it exists, right

Let’s hope they have cloned Randy, by using DNA from the Les Paul and his nail! THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! Hmmm, keep dreaming.



Man, I would have like to be there, someone bring a camcorder and record ALL of it!

Ya might want to check your calendar.... Monday is the 19th.

We've pretty much finalized our plans. We'll be leaving early Saturday and just about drive straight through (28 hour drive). After the memorial, we're moving along to LA for a visit to Mickey (I'm sure the kids will enjoy that one). It would indeed be nice if some of us RR.tk folks could get together. And it certainly would be nice to see something special happening that day.

I'm looking forward to seeing Delores again (we visited Musonia in 1991). She's such a nice lady.

Edit:fixed a type-o

right tuesday the 20th

Wow, I didn't hear anything about that.This is really good news.They have enough footage that they could put a nice DVD together.

yea crowley i have the jap tv show its really good..not much new info but its nice show and at the end dee pulls out the old pdv and shows it off it looks bad...it hasn't aged well

How cool would a pro shot of the DOAM tour be Would be the greatest live metal dvd release ever !! I think I just peed my pants LOL

My family is finally going to California, for a vacation, in 2007. I wish we could do it in March, but it probably won't be until June. We'll be staying with my aunt, and she says they are only 20 minutes from the cemetary. I'm looking forward to being able to pay my respects.

for those interested in finding out about bands playing ect on the march weekend i think you should direct your questions to little miss ozzy at the randy rhoads tribute foundation you can find her by going to my myspace page and looking her up on my friends list or clicking her banner in my comments section

im sure she knows that there are quite a few of us from here going to be there in march so just ask her about it she really is quite nice.

Blizzard and Diary album demos/out-takes/band jams released, please

that would be awesome, along with some live shows, and any footage the osbournes possess.

hmm jackson made a 25 25th anniversiery rr5 Jacksons!

hey those are NOT RR5's rr5's are made in japan and have pick gaurds and stuff the real jackson randy rhoads model has a host of differances ..usa custom shop built..2 volume 2 tone knobs no pickgaurd toggle switch up on the top fin not on the pick gaurd...ebony bound neck thru body and availible in any color of the rainbow as long as its white with black pinstripes...price for this uniqe 1 of 25 guitar 6995.99 american if you can still find one..this one is supposed to be a exact replica of randys although mike ripley and i took a real close look at her and found some not too subtle differances,...his is a closer replica , plays just as good if not better than jacksons and costs one hellofa lot less ot own

I don't know why they haven't bother putting out an official DVD release. How hard is it to do? It would be really killer if someone (ozzy, Delores, etc.) put out a nice big compilation. I've got the perfect get-together for the 25th anniversary. How about everyone comes over to my pad and we all get really drunk, watch Randy footage and listen to his music at the same time, eat ice cream and cry. Then we could have a sleep over! Yippeee guys!

i refuse to have a sleepover with ANYONE who's screen name is the PECKER!!!!!!!

Has anyone heard anything about Karl Sandoval doing anything special in the way of a 25th anniversary V?

D

That's a good one!

I'm totally there if I can convince one of my parents do drive the 60 miles to San Bernardino on a Monday afternoon through rush-hour traffic.

I read somewhere on here that someone thought that Randy's amps would be on display at the memorial. Can't remember who, or what thread it was but I'm sorry to say that it's not planned at all.
The main point of interest on the 19th is that the documentary team will be there and will be interviewing anyonbe who wants to be interviewed for the film.
