Trailer posted for Randy Rhoads documentary


The long-anticipated documentary on the life of legendary Ozzy Osbourne / Quiet Riot guitarist Randy Rhoads will be titled "Randy Rhoads: Last Train Home" A release date has yet to be announced, though a 10-minute trailer is available below. Filming for the documentary began March 19, 2007, when hundreds of fans gathered to remember the 25th anniversary of his passing. Rhoads died just outside Leesburg, FL in 1982 when the plane he was on struck Ozzy Osbourne's tour bus before crashing into a nearby mansion. Director Peter M. Margolis has filmed in excess of 100 interviews with Rhoads' friends, family, and those privileged to have worked with him.

Said Margolis, "Two years is a very long time to spend shooting a film; however, not that long for a documentary of this nature.

"I remember reading an article in the Hollywood Reporter several months ago regarding a documentary due out about singer Patti Smith. They were interviewing the director who claimed that it took him seven years from start to finish. I remember thinking that seven years seems like an eternity to work on one project, but as we approach two years, I can now see how that could be possible.

"While shooting all through 2008, we began editing as well. It took eight months just to sift through all of the interviews dealing with the period of 1975-1979 to create a cohesive story from that time period.

"This documentary has taken us across the United States more than once, as we have shot in New York, New Jersey, Florida, Nevada to name a few. In addition, we recently returned from England where we filmed Bernie Tormé, Lindsay Bridgwater, Johnny Cook, Chris Tsangrides, Pete Way, Lee Kerslake, Max Norman and a few surprise interviews. We also shot extensively at Ridge Farm
studios where the band lived and recorded for long periods of time while the records were being produced." (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot), can be viewed below.
