Cool Aunt Deb talks to Andre Relis, director of the new Randy Rhoads documentary! Director of Randy Rhoads Reflections of a Guitar IconThanks to Andre for calling in to talk about the new Randy Rhoads documentary. I've seen it, and it's awesome! We lost Randy 40 years ago, but his legacy and music live on. The film is narrated by Tracii Guns (Guns n Roses, LA Guns) but we had trouble connecting with Tracii. Just for kicks I left that part in...cue in 5 minutes for my interview with Andre Relis. Also, search youtube for Andre's former band Rubberneck.

RANDY RHOADS: Reflections of a Guitar Icon
Directed by: Andre Relis
Narrated by: Tracii Guns
Featuring: Randy Rhoads, Dana Strum, Ron Sobol,
Rudy Sarzo, and Eddie Van Halen
Randy Rhoads, the legendary guitarist known for his unmatchable guitar riffs, re-shaped rock’n’roll as the lead guitarist for Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne. After forming Quiet Riot with bandmates Kelly Garni, Drew Forsyth, and Kevin DuBrow in the 70s, the band quickly became one of the most popular acts in the Los Angeles club circuit. However, their music failed to land them a legitimate record deal. After playing with Quiet Riot for over 10 years, Randy received an opportunity to be the lead guitarist for former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. Randy played with Ozzy for a few short years, recording legendary songs such as Crazy Train, which includes Randy’s groundbreaking guitar solo. After touring with Ozzy in the early 80s, Randy was tragically killed in a plane crash on March 19, 1982 at the young age of 25. His body died that day, but his soul and music live on forever.
