![]() A lot of it's VHS quality, a lot of it's bootleg. I haven't seen it but I know that type of footage has been collected over the years. There's footage there you know a lot of people say there's no footage of Randy but there's a lot of footage of Randy (unseen). Because an Ozzy documentary about Randy would be a full 90 minutes on its own. And I suggested he take guitarist Michael Grant, who was Filling in for me in that band and who’s just an amazing spirit, with him. And so Phil let the other guys know, Hey, I’m outta here. So I think that at the end of the day it's been out for two years now um I think that it was very successful, number one but I think that we all feel good about it you know and it leaves a lot of room for the Ozzy years. Let’s take one of these deals and let’s make a record. And I said oh I didn't run it by you because you would have talked me out of it and then somebody else would have done it, it was gonna get done. You know she said well it is good that it's you and I wish you had run it by me. I wanted to tell her after I had done it and explain those reasons but she found out before it was actually made public. Why is it a positive thing? Why is it a good thing? Why does it make sense now? And I told her why I did it. ![]() I didn't answer her for a couple days because I really had to process the reason that I did it. And it turned out great and Kathy (Rhoads) hit me and up and goes I can't believe you did this. So I agreed to do it after I saw the documentary and I read the script, it was really put in a positive light and it was very truthful. ![]() I had to think about it at that point because I knew that if I didn't do it they would just get anybody to do the narration and then it would be a big sore spot forever. And he (Andre Relis) said well I understand your thing but I'm doing it anyway there's nothing legally binding that says I can't do it. So I talked to Andre about, what does Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne say? What does Kathy (Rhoads) say? Are they all against it? I'm like those are my people and I really shouldn't do this without their approval. And we have always said that we would never do anything to do with Randy (Rhoads) unless it made sense and somebody else wasn't gonna make money off it, like it wasn't a cash grab kind of thing. How I got involved was Andre Relis the director contacted me and I got really nervous because I'm really good friends with Randy's brother and sister. ![]() The Quiet Riot years, a lot of people didn't understand them or they didn't know about them at all. Guns are in the midst of a nationwide tour alongside Tom Keifer Band and Faster Pussycat."All the feedback that I've gotten from it is, people are just grateful that it exists. Much better than him opting out, all together. “I proposed that we find an air conditioned spot near the stage. And that we’ll just have Ace cover his parts. “He said to me (earlier today) that he wasn’t going to do the show, because the heat was just too unbearable to his condition. Because his anxiety is still pretty prevalent,” Martin explained in an Instagram comment. “Tracii wasn’t gonna play the show at all. The idea for the bathroom setup came from L.A. Impressively, the setup seemed to work, with the venue’s in-house video screen also showing Guns’ performance (you can see some of the footage below). The guitarist even streamed his performance on Instagram Live for fans who wanted to watch him play. Guns and his team ran cables to the nearby bathroom, and set audio equipment up in the makeshift space so he could listen and perform with his bandmates onstage.
