Director
Peter M. Margolis of
Dakota Pictures is rapidly approaching the final stages of editing and post-production on
"Randy Rhoads: Last Train Home" (working title), the long-awaited documentary film on the life of celebrated rock guitarist
Randy Rhoads (
OZZY OSBOURNE,
QUIET RIOT).
Margolis is reaching out to anyone who may have a candid photo of
Rhoads to contribute to the film. He seems to have an abundance of photos of
Randy on stage but would love to have some more off-stage photos of
Randy, such as
Randy in a hotel lobby, at a record signing or backstage at a concert. Anything in focus would be greatly appreciated.
If you have anything similar to what is described above, e-mail
Peter at his
MySpace page.
Margolis and his crew started filming on March 19, 2007, when hundreds of fans gathered at
Rhoads' grave in San Bernardino, California to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death. Since then,
Margolis has filmed more than 100 interviews, with
Rhoads' family and friends and people who worked with him. The list of names includes
Kelli Garni, the original bassist in
QUIET RIOT;
Carlos Cavazo, the guitarist in the
"Metal Health" line-up of
QUIET RIOT;
Sarzo and his brother
Robert, who was considered as a replacement for
Rhoads in
Ozzy's band;
Jodi Raskin,
Rhoads' girlfriend at the time of his death;
Grover Jackson, whose company made
Rhoads' signature guitars;
Randy's brother
Kelle, who's wearing the silver "RR" ring
Rhoads had on when he died; and
MOUNTAIN guitarist and '70s legend
Leslie West, one of
Rhoads' idols.
A number of photos taken at
Randy Rhoads's gravesite at the Mountain View Cemetery in San Bernardino, CA on March 19, 2007 have been posted online at
this location.
In 1982,
Rhoads, the then-lead guitarist for
OZZY OSBOURNE, and two others were killed at Flying Baron Estates, just outside Leesburg, Florida, when their small plane struck
Osbourne's tour bus, then crashed into a mansion.
