Randy Rhoads: Reflections Of A Guitar Icon, is a new documentary about legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads, best known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne, will be available on Video On Demand on May 6th. The film was directed by Andre Relis and was narrated by L.A. Guns guitarist Tracii Guns. It was written and edited by Michael Bruining.
The documentary includes interviews with Randy’s mother Delores Rhoads, brother Kelle Rhoads, Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen), Rudy Sarzo (Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne), Frankie Banali (Quiet Riot), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake, Dio), Gary Moore, Dweezil Zappa, George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob) and Ozzy Osbourne.
Last October, Rhoads was posthumously inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame during the 2021 ceremony. He received the Musical Excellence Award at last year’s event, which was held on October 30th at Cleveland, Ohio’s Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.
The Musical Excellence Award is given to artists, musicians, songwriters and producers whose originality and influence creating music have had a dramatic impact on music.
Rhoads played on Osbourne’s records Blizzard Of Ozz (1980) and Diary Of A Madman, influenced many musicians, and is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time. His death, on March 19th, 1982, at age 25, was a huge shock to the world. Rhoads, and two others, were killed when the small plane they were flying in Leesburg, Florida struck Osbourne’s tour bus and then crashed into a mansion.

Even after 40 years and thousands of listens, I still get goosebumps every single time I listen to “Over The Mountain!”
Am I on an island alone who still wants physical product and buys dvds? I don’t know where Video on Demand is or how it works. I would like to own a Blu-ray/dvd of this documentary. I guess I’ll figure how to stream it, but I would rather have a physical copy.
No, you’re not alone. I am sure many Rhoads fans, such as myself, would want a hard copy of this documentary.
Same here, I don’t stream, download, upload, burn, rip, whatever else they call that sh-t! I’m old school all the way! I’ll take a physical copy (DVD/CD) any day over this streaming sh-t! I really hope this documentary gets released on DVD!
Damn. Thought I was alone . Completely agree !
I need the dvd version too, don’t want it any other way. I saw him twice & have a great front row picture of him and ozzy. Hopefully someone will email me back when they find out who’s selling the dvd.
Wow, stingray,
You’re so lucky, to say I am completely envious, would be an understatement.
