- ******PLEASE SUBSCRIBE******UPDATE(2018) this is an out take from the failed Randy Documentary by the fake producer Peter,it is just 1 of 3 takes, and before I changed my clothes and plugged in the guitars!Anyway , the 2 pictures I mentioned ,one is the thumbnail and the other you can see on my "Facebook page Michael Douglas Skewes". These are only 2 of the 22 Randy Rhoads guitars I own in my collection (which is in several guarded locations in 3 states!) .Also, this was shot in 2007. A lot has happened since then! Please watch my (Randy Rhoads and I 9 years later) that I did on Dec.6 in 2016.
(the thumbnail picture is a picture of Randy sitting in his Scirocco ) (at 6th and Cypress Ave. in Burbank I took on my way home from school 1981)
NOTE: If you want to see the pics of Randy I mention go to my facebook page and look at my pictures- facebook,com/michael d. skewes**see update at end of video description** It's me in a new documentary about Randy Rhoads. I went in and shot another version for the doc. but I'm not sure which if either that they will use.I'm dressed better in the second one but I don't think it came out as good or smooth as this one because I had someone asking too many questions off camera, and I had to start and stop too many times. Oh well, at least you get to see it on CZcams ! Maybe I'll post the other one in a few weeks. If you would like to get in contact with the guy who shot this ,........good luck!
UPDATE!!!!! 5/23/08-2016!!!!
It turns out that the goofball wannabe producer of the documentary has decided not to use this,which doesn't matter because P. M. lost the court battle and the film will never be re.leased ,said to be the worst documentary EVER and will never see the light of day !So, I guess Kevin Dubrow (R.I.P.) and Bob Daisley were right in not wanting to work with this guy! Oh well,at least YOU get to see it on CZcams! ONE MORE THING:Brent, if you ever do see this,out of the 3 takes we did,I mentioned you once and I told him"don't use Brents' name in this, I haven't spoke with him in years and would at least want to ask his permission"so,Brent,I'm sorry the idiot editor used your name right off the bat!!!! Sorry again!
what a great story
+LetArtsLive THANK YOU! I can't believe that I post this for the fans and I get all this grief ,so it is nice to get a simple nice comment!
Hey your welcome.I dont like trolls on here.Most dont even have one video lol Michael Douglas Skewes
yep I know,. most of them just have a page so they can spread how unhappy they are.,how sad..,
Too bad you cant block certain people in real life.Like i can on here Michael Douglas Skewes
well,you could ,or I should say, my Uncle that passed away about a year ago, was a "made" man ,and he and his Pop use to "delete or block " people all the time ,but, it's kinda frowned on ,plus I ain't got enough Italian in me anyway! Ha ha ha,a little final ,but it worked . Anyway ,I still get comped at a certain old casino in Vegas , I just say his name ,that comes in handy and is legal.
Wow ,over 100,000 views,and the video that has brought the best and worst out of people . I put this up for fans of Randy ,and because I promised his Mom ,as long as I had anything I could do to keep her sons name alive and guitar player's never forgetting what he did for modern Heavy Metal /Hard Rock guitar,also classical,I would ! Long Live Randy Rhoads !
Please subscribe , thanks!
Without those two albums Ozzy would not be alive in the music scene
You are exactly right! I've gone over every situation,like Alice Cooper picking him up,that would have been perfect since he loved Alice,but he was battling his crap at that point! Or KISS ,pre or post make up,except with- out make- up Randy would have made them look even more hideous next to him! I don't know,it seems like this was the way for the world to see Randy! Actually,and I don't like bringing it up,it was the damn bus driver who was trying to kill everybody,at least the 2 main ones,that is why Randy went because Rachel went and he didn't think acock would try anything stupid,but that is the big deal,and they don't talk about it,but the pilot just got divorce papers from his wife and he had been on a 3 day coke binge ,everyone knew it was behind the control panel and Tommy Aldridge got it and threw it before Barney Fife got there to do his investigating! It was he drivers fault ,but you will never hear that from Sharon Satan Osbourne or the dimwitted oz,that would bring up a whole bunch of crap,even though I think it has been too long to do anything.
i met randy in detroit on 2-8-1982 and we talked about 20 or 30 mins about things and i told told him my band was getting signed and we will be moving to l.a. and the last thing he said to me as i was going to my seat was "i'll see you in burbank" and of course i never got the chance but i am a friend of the rhoads family and kelle opend for us and lita ford at the country club in like 85 or so ...anyway great job and i too have alot of randy guitars too.
I'm sorry,your comment was lost in all the crazy comments! That is a very cool story,you know for yourself how nice he really was ,and to see him live is EVERYTHING! You just can't describe how he was onstage,especially with Ozzy,I was thinking,holy crap,that is Randy ,and he looks more like a Rockstar than anyone else! I am glad I got the chance to know him ,and take lessons before he was gone! His top student Craig Turner eventually took over for him at Musonia,and we became great friends,but he just passed away from cancer,a couple years ago.Anyway,thanks for the comment,feel free to ask anything else you want! And keep playing!!!!!
Very Sad that this Documentary will not Released . I'm so interested in Randy Rhoads but can't find much Documentary's about Randy . Thanks for sharing this Segment .
Your welcome again! If you have any questions ,that I won't have to write a book to answer,feel free to ask .I'm sure you have seen some of the questions I get asked! One person wanted to know what his shoe size was! I figured what the heck ,and called his sister ,and actually found out,which she must get asked a lot,my sister would have no idea what mine is! Anyway,I'm glad you like what little I can do,but always will try for a fan of Randy's!
Michael Skewes you have Added me as a friend on facebook: Dennis Cartwright. i send you a Pm on Facebook. Really cool that you answer all questions, because i can't find anything about Randy.
This is a great video and story,Randy,his Mom, and family are probably some of the most humble people you could ever hope to meet, they tell you how it is, and give you hope and inspiration if your down and out or not really sure if you can do it! that was really cool that you studied with him!! I love this L.A. musical history!!!!!!!!!
He said that guitar was "spotless", doesn't look spotless to me.
I realize I am way late to this party, but I felt that comment shouldn't have been overlooked. haha
they are polka dots ,not spots. Thus not funny.Actually it is a fine little comment,I', just a little jaded by the endless posts of poeple bashing me ,or what I said or did'y say ,blah ,blah ,blah. So when someone put up something like that ,I don't know what they really mean. Sad really,a stupid little outake from a bad documentary that no one will see,hopefully,and most of the coments I took down because they were crazy! So,there ya go Travis ,dot not spots !
+Michael Douglas Skewes nah I just thought it was funny. I don't know where some of the people who try to question the authenticity of what you're saying get off. As if they were there or they ever met the guy. Lots of people took lessons from Randy, I bet no one ever called Joe Holmes a liar. Regardless it's always cool hearing more about his life even if that documentary was awful.
Travis Schaefer That's cool,I just take so much crap for this video,and I don't know why,I didn't go into a lot of stuff about Randy.I was friends with him for years before I took lessons .and we would talk a lot during the lesson time and he would feel bad ,because he would say "you could ride your bike over to my house and instead of pay for it! But,I learned a lot from him and after he left I stopped because george lynch took over.I said all this but it was edited out and he kept in the part that I took lessons from him when he came home before the diary of a madman tour ,he gave lesson to a few students ,maybe 20 or so some lessons,and not many people knew that or believed me,they thought I made up the lessons that he gave during his break for the holidays .Anyway it's funny you metioned Joe Holmes ,he said in a few interviews that he took lessons from Randy during that time,I was relieved ,but still some just dont read of watch stuff.Also my good friend at John Muir Jr. High school was Brent ...well he changed his name to Woods but anyway he was the one that rode our bikes over to Randys house house to get me to take lessons from him because my teacher,well sucked,so he said take some from my teacher ,and so I did! Now Brent is kinda well known,we was in a band called Wildside in 1991 and when they broke up he played guitar on Vince Niels 2nd solo album "carved in stone" and has been in a bunch of these bands trying to stay going and right now he is in Sabatian Bach's Band,it's very easy to look up,so there is Brent ,Joe and a few others but none really did anything in music ,I was in 3 pretty big bands ,Fatal Attraction being the biggest ,our last c.d. that was released a couple years ago was downloaded over 20 million times! And my band Trick Or Treat with Mandy Lion was a band that got big fast and had a demo deal with Capital records ,but the singer messed that up ,that is why I formed Fatal Attraction which toured and you can find videos all over youtube,just make sure you make sure it's Fatal Attraction original hollywood vanmpires. Plus I have plenty of videosof me playing guitars from my collection of about 100.So,now you know more then you ever wanted too! Thanks for being cool ,I just had to make sure ,out of a half million viewers ,it seems a 1/3 of them go right to this video and bitch,but at least I do have friends that back me up on here. Thanks again.-Michael Dee
+Michael Douglas Skewes wow that's a pretty cool story. it's really a shame that some people just hear what they want to. so many fake stories about his life and career and people pretending to have been a part of it. maybe some day unheard interviews or new videos will be released. I'll have to watch some of your stuff. still looking for my own style of playing so it'll be cool to hear someone similar influences.
my wife was a flight attendant for a private jet company. she flew ozzy and his family a several times and said he was always very nice to her,but,every time he would try and give her a "thank you" kiss she would turn her face. she did say that she would make sure that he had a dozen krispy kreme doughnuts when he got on the plane and he would have them gone by the time they were in the air!
This is incredible,Randy is the reason I do what I do.Thank you so much for sharing your awesome stories.
Your welcome ,I'm glad you like it,I did 2 other follow up videos to this ,basically the same title just 9 years later.I play one of my Concordes in it.
his mom has all of his guitars. i've known delores for 28 years. why would one of his students have the guitars? his mom is VERY protective of all his stuff.
The practice amp Randy used in the "little" room was a Crate. He also had a small, early Carvin which he won in a guitar playing contest. Delores still has them in the room and still uses them. She gave Zakk Wylde Randy's stage vest (The light tan one) that he had custom made for him in Hollywood when he joined Ozzy. Cheers! R.I.P. Randy, Robbin, Kevin........
In response to RR being a classicaly trained guitar player.
Eddie Van Halen is a classically trained piano player, a musical genious, a guitar builder/designer (changed the way guitars were designed in the 80's), had a sound that no one could replicate... but an arrogant a-hole and was never much liked... Anything after 1984, forget about it. Really two different guitar players which was good! RR was awesome as we know. Was only getting better. R.I.P
I hate thinking of the big IF ! He would have gone on to things that no one even has a clue . The Classical guitar degree was just a nice way of telling Ozzy, and Sharon ,that he was gone, and don't even think about him coming back. I'm sure at some point ,he would have gotten back with Ozzy after he cleaned up, and probably done some Quiet Riot stuff. But ,I think if he could find the right band , or musicians, he would have been right there ,doing something like ,say Alice Cooper ,when he came back in the 80s ,Randy loved Alice ,he would have jumped at it ! He even mentioned that once when they we re putting the Diary tour together! And his sound, and defiantly his tone would have become bigger. He was a tone c.f. hacer yoo ,like Eddie,but he wasn't a tinkering type,he just went and found people who could do what he wanted. I was really excited for him!
Randy was a phenomenal and innovative guitarist, and you were very fortunate to know him personally.
i'm pretty late digging randy. my band paid tribute to Ozzy and i was the newest member, a drummer. so that was just the time i got to listen to Randy. I was floored!..i was an instant RR fan. I play guitar too, i'm in my 4th year of guitar playing. i'm excited to buy this second hand Burny Randy Rhoads LP tomorrow... Mdskewes, thanks for sharing. you are very kind and generous.
I did not know he played with warrant,but then again,who hasn't(well,I havn't!)Yes,he played with Vince for 1 album and before that he was in a band called "Wildside" that was around 1990 or so. I grew up with him in Burbank,Randy lived right in between us!We were friends through middle and high school.Brents real last name is Bebrich but changed it in the 80's like most people in bands did including myself. I have not seen him in about 10 years or so.
o my god you do not how much i wish i could meet randy rhoads he was, is, and always will be the greatest guitarirst ever
How lucky you are man!
thanks for posting this, please post part 2!
I did! 2 of them !czcams.com/video/VtqOYJ6bb-A/video.html
I saw Randy Rhoads in a pawn shop in Colorado Springs Colorado. June of 81. I did not know who he was at the time. He was playing an acoustic guitar and these two "hippies" were watching him. They obviously knew who he was. I went on to become an Ozzy-RANDY fan years later. When I realized I was standing next to Randy Rhoads years earlier I "flipped out".
I just have to say it brings a huge smile to my face that so many people all over the world still hold Randy so close to their hearts, I just bought a Polka V, I've been a fan since 85 and I was born in 71 so work my age out yerselves! my PDV isnt a KS but I had it custom built and it has the harpoon headstock and has been built to the closest knowledge! I'm glad all over to report it plays like a nuiscence to my nieghbours! myspace/markshooter
That's great! I have had 4 PDV's built,one like his ,one like I think he would have changed ,a custom tribute one and a great playing one that someone made as a project for his woodworking class,it may be the best sounding and playing one I have! As long as it you like it,that's what counts! The Sandovals are not that good,even Randy didn't like his,he liked the sound and it played ok ,but he was going to have another built by Jackson,or so I heard!
this is great because you get to learn about randy rhoads because he is sort of a mystery he only made 2 albums with ozzy before he died
I met Ozzy back in '87 when he was promoting the Randy Rhodes Tribute album. I asked him to sign my guitar pic. I have no idea how he got his signature on that little tiny piece of plastic. He was using a magic marker too. He was a bit sedated with a glazed-over look about him. I must have waited in line for about an hour to shake his hand.
He didn't mention Bill Nelson's influence on Randy. Randy's solo on Ozzy's Tonight was directly taken from the outro solo of Bill's solo on Be Bop Deluxe's "Jet Silver and the Dolls". Randy did it a bit faster, I think. Randy was, and still has not been surpassed, as the fastest player ever. I consider him to be the best, and my guardian angel.
that is the solo I was thinking of when I mentioned Alice Cooper ,with Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter,he went to see Alice on the Nightmare Tour ,and those 2 were the top Rock studio guitarist at the time.He also liked the old Alice Cooper band. I have to find the song that I'm thinking of.
yes i took lessons from randy and also just sat and talked about guitar,amps,different palyers that he liked and I liked. I miss him!
you are correct if randy would have still been alive he would have made a whole new style of heavy metal
@jbryant1102 THIS IS PART 2-so i thought I would put this viseo up because the documenary it was for is so bad it will never be released.I was playing in band and touring,reording professionaly for 17 years,you can see those bands tooFatal Attraction I was playing Bass,Trick Or Treat I play gutar and Stiletto .I also had a Randy Rhoads tribute band that I still need to put up!hows this for a reply!
Really enjoyed watching this, nice job! I happened to see Brent Woods at a club in Salt Lake City a few years ago doing a Wildside reunion gig(I always thought that band was underrated) Do you mind sharing a little more info about the bands you were in, etc...?
Great to hear back from you Mike. Sorry to hear what happened to you. Hope all pans out in your favor. I am here in Eagle Rock area, working, seeing the odd band, when they do come to play here. Saw DOWN twice couple months ago, Key Club and The Groove...KILLER SHOWS! Pepper flipped me his gtar pick, made my night
I've loved the sounds of his guitar since the first note I heard. Him and Dimebag are up there shredding for the Angels
great clip. Im just in the middle of reading Rudy's book OFF THE RAILS,,,kind of re-discovering Randy again after years.
That is a great book!
Awsome video man! Your a lucky guy to have gotten to meet him. Thanks for posting the vid for all of us RR fans!
I was playing in bands from 83'-95', plus being in Hollywood in the 80's you couldn't help but meet people.I got to meet or work with everyone I ever wanted,I guess if you think about it I was pretty lucky!
that is very cool,and so was randy!thanks.
i have dreams of taking lessons from randy, i love these randy rhoads stories i wish could have met him, i was born 2 years later after he passed.
Randy was also heavily influenced by Bill Nelson and the DBL live LP "LIVE IN THE AIRAGE". There are 2-3 songs (? Scenes from a ????? Shire landscape) that sound so much like Randy it's spine chilling! The band is called "Bee Bop Deluxe" check it out on here!
Yeah ,your right,a lot was cut from this shot,I went into more of what I talked with Randy about,I talked more about how his Alice Cooper influence was heard on Diary of a Madman like Ballad of Dwight fry and welcome to my nightmare are all over the title song.And your right about the guys you mentioned,you can hear that more in the Quiet Riot albums .Anyway like I was trying to say but got cut out that he was my friend way before I took any lessons from him ,I think I was about 11 or 12 when I first met him!And that I had taken lessons previous to his Ozzy gig,but all that was cut and it starts with the line I said not to use until I talk to Brent because he was/is in it too. Thanks for the comment.
Roderick Patterson also,I forgot , look up Etude #6 on guitar , he was learning that when he was writing Diary of a Madman , he changed it just enough not to get in trouble , but it is very close .
the high school picture is now up as my profile pic! if you want you can go to my facebook page and see both of them!
Awesome guitar and a great backstory to go with it! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot for putting that up. More about the lessons would be really interesting if you ever feel like posting it e.g. Did you read music, did you discuss the work of other players when developing your technique (you should dig in more like blues players like Leslie West etc.) still learning from Randy. elmet5
i know man, i was just kidding. Great video by the way. Randy was a god and those guitars are amazing.
Thanks man.
You are so, so blessed by God himself to have taken lessons from Randy!
my friends mom gave randy a ride home from school, shes so lucky!!!
Thank you for those nice stories about Randy.
Man, Randy Rhoads and Kevin DuBrow are prolly jammin' in Heaven right now. RIP you guys.
Ok,now this is what I was told by Robin told me and what Jackson says,it was named for Robin,Vinnies first jackson was a gold Rhoads model he played on the Creatures of the night tour,then he went to the pink "double v".I met Vinnies a few times after he left KISS and was very nice and we talked about Randy a little because of the guitar,he never mentioned that to me.
After watching this phenomenal story i decided to subscribe 😉🎸🤘

Michael Douglas Skewes Sweet. She's a great lady. Will you be at the next "Celebration of Life"? I'm trying to get time off so I can go with her.
what is the celebration of life and where?
omg ur so lucky u got to meet the greatest guitarist ever!!!!!! and got lessons from him!!!!
Keep you chin up, who the hell knows (or cares) why these "posers" feel they need to sow discord. I love Randy Rhoads, it deeply saddens me to think about what may have been had he lived longer. No one knows, but I believe you would have heard his name mentioned in conversations along side Mozart, Beethoven and Bach.
I enjoy hearing from people who new him personally. In all of the many hours that I have read and listened to stories from people, like yourself, who had been lucky enough to had known him, I have never read or heard anything negative concerning Randy Rhoads. This speaks to his character.
Thank you for sharing your memories of Randy,
Rod Walsh
Thanks,it gets a little crazy ,but I keep this and the other stuff up for the nice Randy fans,they far outdo the negatives.
...thank you. Interesting to hear the Dick Wagner comments. The live solo in "18" from the Alice Cooper Show is just pouring out with soul and sincerity. I suspect he was improvising and never played that solo quite the same twice. Check it out.
i grew up in burbank just a couple blocks from randys house. i went to school with brent and i was in a few bands back in the day and played with or opened up or hust hung out with alot of people that actually "made it big" so there you go.
I dont know how to post it on you tube for you guys to see? ok,MY profile pic for 1 week will be the one I got from our high school(Burbank high)so anybody can see it!
what Randy meant was try and develope your own style and dont just learn covers and be lazy. the big point for me developing my style was TONE! that is very important,listen to Eddie,Randy,Dime. I worked on getting my own tone (which at first just sounded like Mick Mars,who was also a very big influence on me!Tone,style, you get the idea. Randy was just trying to make sure I did just learn covers and not develope my own style!listen to my band fatal attraction on myspace,"night stalker"
he was born in santa monica.lived his whole life in burbank,just a few blocks from where I grew up.
That was way too short! I could have listened to your anecdotes for longer, great tales of a great guitarist. I was outside the Glasgow Apollo, Scotland on the very 1st night Randy started touring with Blizzard, had no money for a ticket! Failed to meet Randy but met Ozzy, a big regret is that i never did get to see Randy on stage. I am taking my family to LA in July stayin at the Universal in Burbank, I would like to buy you for a beer if you'd be interested.
I know he was trained on piano,my great grand mother knew the family back in Holland(I know that sounds crazy but it's true!)and the classical influence did come out on his solos,BUT,Randy who also played classical had a more classical style of playing overall than Eddie did with is groawling and squeling sounds plus his attack,.I don't know it is just my opinion.
I've met Eddie a few times and one time he gave my Mom a kiss on her cheeck at a Tom Jones concert!
I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE I AM WRITING A LOT OF RESPONSES TO NO ONE ,IT'S BECAUSE I HAVE DELETED ALL THOSE IDIOTIC COMMENTS,IT IS OLD.I AM ONLY ANSWERING THE LEGIT,NICE PEOPLE,YOU KNOW,LIKE RANDY,GET IT,GOT IT,GOOD!
Hey you poor thing, I beleive you , Just know that those who are doubting your aythenticity here, most likely , dont get Randy. I mean a die hard fan of Randy Rhoads like myself appriciate any info, if its true fans like us can piece it together and make our own judgement WITHOUT getting all WAKO . you know. So sweat off the back, try not to allow this stuff to upset you friend, its not worth your energy or time, Randy was pretty mature in the sense of treating people respectfuly, so those that cant just " NOT COMMENT " to me are not embracing Randy as not only a great guitarist but also as a great human being, and its like the saying goes, choose your audience and tailor your speech, not you Michael, but in general, like say those getting all freaked out and ready to say things that arent realy productive, might do, there is a level of excellence I myself fail to stand up to and that is being kind all the time , but i do know that online peeps , are very comfie with trashing others when they can just say nothing at all, Randy wouldnt choose to be around or partake in such things , remember your teacher , I do, and he still teaches us , more than music , but a level of engaging in something where only beautiful things comes back to you, If I were you , I wouldnt even respond, to some of these comments, or respeond with, a simple thank you. realy kill em with kindness ;) I just hate to see someone who did such a cool thing like you, share your story and see you feel the need to respond to the ones that arent even worth your energy,. i loved what you shared here and appriciate that you did so very much. Rock on !
duh i just reread the post here i thought i was commenting on the one below it. how funny because what i wrote matches the same thought i accidently posted under and it looks pretty weird on my part, . lol its like you said the color is blue , and i commnet, hey you know , the color is blue. lmao sorry bout that, you get the just of what im saying thougfh and know that im on tyour side. Take it easy and Love those guitars. I recently picked up soloing where i left off 35 years ago, im 49 and i bought a gibson les paul, i frillen love it so much and the online lessons we hear of randy teaching , is actualy teaching me a few trhings, He still teaches. Rock On.
The CAPTION CLUB It is funny.But thank you for your comments.I do sometimes get a little upset at some people on the few Randy videos I ave posted.I just keep thinking how embarrassed he would be at the way people are acting about him. I have to keep that in mind,it is so long ago ,I was 16 when I last saw him,that is another lifetime! Anyway,thank you.Rock On!
I'm going to put some videos up, I was in a bad car wreck back July and I have not picked up a guitar since the begining of the year.I just bought a new axe and amp and a video camera so I can start getting back into it.sooooo,I promise I will post videos of what Randy tought me and some other stuff.You can see me play if you watch the Trick or Treat videos on my youtube site but they are old and I was wasted so it dont sound so good!
here is an update on my custom san dimas Rhoads Jackson guitar,1 of the first 100 production models of 1984 or 3,damn know I got to go check ,but I had to call grover Jackson to give the # of some how would move the switch,everyone i asked said it could not be done but Grover sent a drawing of what to do and i took it to Eli down at Guitar Centaer Hollywood and he did a great job.this one is signed by kelly rhoads and I have one signed by his Mom and his sister ,so ,all the priceless one of a ..
Cool talk down memory lane man, RR never forget.
Glad you liked it. I wish it was a better interview type thing,but this way you can see out takes from the doomed RR documentary!
my god..i love Jackson Randy Rhoads signature!
@Boondocksaintsfan666 well,now that you ask,Ronnie James Dio was someone that I never will meet now! I saw him at the rainbow bar and grill in hollywood once,but I didn't talk to him.Damn! Oh well,He will always be one of the greatest voices in metal!
R.I.P Randy Rhoads
You are amazing
you actually met both randy and ozzy your so lucky
Quiet Riot opened for Van Halen at Glendale Community College in '77 or so. I was going to Jordan Jr High in Burbank when Randy died and had heard that his funeral was at that Lutheran church but didn't know it was actually true.
Yeah,so many people they stopped traffic on Glenoaks and Alameda !!! Yeah,don't know why I blanked out about the VH and QR show in Glendale Civic Auditorium where I saw Motley Crue play in 1982! First show they played "Looks that kill"!
I put my first video up,feel free to ask questions. look in the response for this video.

yep, I had that guy mike,"the guitar doctor" set it up for me and get the paint job done too. he use to work at killeens in burbank. he makes his own stuff now,I played one of his new guitars,they are VERY nice!

My entire life has changed,some for the better,some not,but,after dying twice I'm still here ,so that is a plus!
WHAT? go to my youtube page and watch the videos of the bands I was in. still not sure what having Randys guitars has to due with my own playing style.anyway,go check em out.
Randy didnt tour with QR,they had 2 japanese lp's out mainly played in Hollywood ans around local,like in Pasadena they plyed with Van Halen,I missed that but I was too young anwy,I think I was 14 and it wasat a club.
Hey yeah! I remember you! Good to hear from you again.well,now you know what I look like.
Go to my facebook page -Michael Douglas Skewes- and you can see both the Randy pics I was talking about in the video!
amazing guitars man...
you were lucky to meet him...
also, they aren't spotless, there is spots all over them :D
Mike Great reading all this and the video. I talked to George and Dave on FB once a while. Ya look different than the days I would see ya all ROCKED OUT. GETCHA PULL, SON!
I can't believe how many people are telling me the headstock is wrong on the Jackson,no the head stock.is right for a Jackson the Sandoval has the spear headstock.,I have that too. Look it up on youtube ,go to my homepage you will see it there.
Go to my facebook page Michael Douglas Skewes and go to the photos and look up Randy pictures and you should have seen the high school pic and the pic I took when I was walking home home in his scirroco at the corner oc Cypress ave . and sixth street in Burbank. If you cant find it then ...you may have sight problems! So,don't give me ,crap I knew Randy he was my friend, so watch what you say,thanks.
thanks,I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Thanks Ace!
Thank you.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting.
@JohnnyTruthSmaksHard I have a bunch of videos of my playing,before and after I chopped off part of my left index finger!
Ozzy and Randy was a bigger success than Quiet Riot.
thank you. it does'nt matter who believes it or not,as long as people like you enjoy it. try ebay for a randy type les paul. there was a company (burny)that put out a rhoads les paul copy.
thank you too tj!
Thanks for posting the vid.I share something with Randy Rhoads too,I was born thursday Dec 6th.
i have another version of the interview where i'm dressed a little nicer but it's edited even worse than this one. i'll see if i can put it up later,thanks for the comments!
@Za7a7aZ Anyways...I see that you upped this vid some 4-5 years ago and it is still visited and active...That is good to see and know that Rhoad's memory is still alive and people want to know what kind of person he was..Thanks mdskewes
sandoval made me a custom star w/ bullet hole and blood paint job back in 1983. you can see it on my main page in the trick or treat videos.
One is at the start of the video and the other gotta go to my Facebook page .
+Michael Douglas Skewes my facebook page is my name.
that was the plan but the guy that shot this didn't put it in! maybe I suck too bad. if I can get the whole tape maybe I can post that too.
ok, well,I had a custom gutar made by carl sandoval too,it's the star guitar i am playing in the trick or treat videos. it has a paint job with bullet holes with blood coming out of them and my name in blood on the headstock. that was done for me in 1983.i dont think randy would have re-joined quiet riot either.
do you know of a "guitar center" somewhere around where you live? they would have brass pick up rings. you could go online and check it out there or maybe "sam ash"or the jackson website! as far as the eBook,I'm not sure but I'll check it out for you. so,can you see the harpoon truss rod cover? it look's pretty cool actually!
