Interviews include Ozzy Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen and others
The Randy Rhoads documentary, Reflections of a Guitar Icon, hits Video on Demand (VOD) outlets on May 6th. The 85 minute film tells the untold true story of the legendary guitarist who was tragically killed in a plane crash on March 19, 1982 at the age of 25.
Rhoads was known for his unmatchable guitar riffs as he reshaped rock and roll as the lead guitarist for Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne. After forming Quiet Riot with bandmates Kelly Garni, Drew Forsyth, and Kevin DuBrow in the 70s, the band quickly became one of the most popular acts in the Los Angeles club circuit. However, their music failed to land them a legitimate record deal. After playing with Quiet Riot for over a decade, Rhoads received an opportunity to be the lead guitarist for former Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne. Rhoads played with Osbourne for a few short years, recording legendary songs such as “Crazy Train,” which includes Rhoads’ groundbreaking guitar solo.
Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon includes interviews by Osbourne, Eddie Van Halen, George Lynch, Dana Strum, Rudy Sarzo and more. The film is directed by Andre Relis, written and edited by Michael Bruining and produced by Relis and Jessica Bennett.
