As previously reported, Director Peter M. Margolis and Dakota Films, with cooperation from the Rhoads family, are working on the long awaited documentary film on the life of celebrated rock guitarist RANDY RHOADS.
The Metal Den's Randy "Rocket" Cody has conducted an email interview with Margolis. The following is an excerpt from the discussion:
Q: Roughly, how much old film footage of Randy will we see throughout the film? From the sounds of it, you guys must have had a ton of footage to work with, right?
A: "That is the million dollar question I am asked on a daily basis. Is there any footage of Randy that has never been seen before? There wasn't as much as you would think to begin with. Three full QUIET RIOT shows were filmed at the Starwood and Whiskey along with some very early shows like L.A. Valley College, The Pasadena Civic, The Chili Cookoff and Machinists Hall. As for OZZY OSBOURNE, there is even less. After Hours and some rough hand held footage shot from a balcony at one of the concerts is what you can find regularly on YouTube. Beyond that, the audience will have to wait until the curtain goes up to see what we have in store for them."
