Why is there so little live footage of Randy out there? The only footage that’s of decent production value was for that tv show. Why is there no really good footage of Randy live?
This is also what I read in Bob Daisley’s book, For Facts Sake.” They we’re receiving performance royalties. Either way, it’s a despicable thing to do. Especially when you consider how sacred and monumental those first two Ozzy albums were. To tamper with that legacy and tarnish the only two albums that Rhoads played on like that? Out of greed and spite? Disgusting....Goat":38szo0vj said:I don't believe this is correct. I was told by a very well-known musician who once worked with Ozzy and Sharon, that Bob and Lee were getting performance royalties. When the songs were re-recorded, those royalties stopped... hence, the lawsuit. Bob continued to receive writing royalties, as he was the chief lyricist.sytharnia1560":38szo0vj said:The terrible re-recordings weren't to screw Bob and Lee out of royalties as they don't get performance royalties anyway (which is what all the lawsuits have been about). It was just a big middle finger to them from Sharon. Bob still gets writing royalties from both Blizzard and Diary and has from day 1 (again it is the performance royalties he doesn't get)

Randy and Rudy were walking in downtown Tampa, where they were spotted by Frank, Brian, and Kevin. Coming up from behind, they were so small that they thought these were girls, which is why they were looking at them. When Rudy and Randy noticed that they were being eyed, they both dropped their heads. Brain asked Frank and Kevin; "Hey, doesn't wearing an earing in your right ear mean your gay?" And so with his big New York mouth... Brain yells; "F**king fa**ots!" A decision he would regret later that evening... but, that's the way things were back then.LP Freak":1w51gjx3 said:Cool

On the live stuff when the songs went to the lighter parts, you can tell he’s backing way off the volume (I’m guessing it’s the volume pedal), and it’s obvious he’s kicking on a modulation effect. Is he turning on the flanger during those softer parts? Sounds like the chorus is on all the time.

Yep.. Studio is double tracked which has a slight modulation thing going on and for live to thicken things up He used a Chorus which was on almost all the time.

But what about the softer parts? He kicks on some kind of modulation during the soft parts. I think it’s the flanger.
I suspect the project was rushed to some extent. I plan on re-record the Blizzard album (via CD) using my SuperScope PSD300, so that I can pitch the entire recording down 1/2 step. If you don't have a SuperScope, pick one up. It's a very useful production tool, and a lot of fun. Though I have not tried this, you can improve the quality of OEM recordings by re-recording at a slower speed. Same concept as the old "Master Recording" albums.danyeo":3cuf1tmm said:Holy chit mang. What year is it? But Blizzard Of Oz still sounds like it was recorded by a newbie in Mom's basement. I'd still like to know how the first Boston record sounds sooo incredible even after all these years?
