The new documentary, “Randy Rhoads: Reflections Of A Guitar Icon”, about legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, best known for his work with OZZY OSBOURNE and QUIET RIOT, will be available on VOD beginning Friday, May 6.
The film was directed by Andre Relis and features narration by L.A. GUNS guitarist Tracii Guns. It was written and edited by Michael Bruining.
“Randy Rhoads: Reflections Of A Guitar Icon” includes interviews with Randy’s mother Delores Rhoads, brother Kelle Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen (VAN HALEN),Rudy Sarzo (QUIET RIOT),Frankie Banali (QUEOT RIOT),Joel Hoekstra (WHITESNAKE),Bruce Kulick (KISS),Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE, DIO),Gary Moore, Dweezil Zappa, George Lynch (DOKKEN) and Ozzy Osbourne.
Some new footage from the film has been released — premiered exclusively by Guitar World— which features audio of Randy discussing his guitar influences, as well as an exploration of his apparent “rivalry” with VAN HALEN shredder Eddie Van Halen.
In additional archive audio, Van Halen discusses Rhoads as well, saying, “He was one guitarist who was honest, anyway. Because he said everything he did he learned from me.
“He was good,” Van Halen continues. “But I don’t really think he did anything that I haven’t done. And there ain’t nothing wrong with it. I’ve copied some other people, you know?”
Rhoads and two others were killed on March 19, 1982 in a tragic plane crash. He was 25 years old.
