Thank you very much for your messages. Because so many of you have asked to see my reply to Classic Rock Magazines statement, I am posting my response again. I consulted Randys brother, Kelle Rhoads, before posting anything about this matter: Classic Rock: Thanks for your response, I had no desire to cross swords with anyone, I just needed to vent my frustration and disapproval of how things were handled. I understand that not all members of bands receive an award each for an album, and thanks for giving specific examples. I also understand that budgets dont allow for people to be flown around the globe to attend award ceremonies. Yes, I saw that Ozzy mentioned Randy, which he often does, but if an award was made for Randy as well, why wasnt it presented publicly and ceremoniously to the Rhoads family members? The award, which was in fact in bubble wrap, was given to Kelle and Kathy on their way out, it was Kelle who put it in a paper bag. Kelle told me that the way that they were slipped the award was, in his own words, like a drug deal. As you must be aware, Lee Kerslake and I have been repeatedly omitted from acknowledgement and recognition for our considerable part in the Blizzard of Ozz album, so when Ozzy is filmed being honoured and acknowledged, Randys award is given on the sly, and Kerslake and I are left out yet again, perhaps you can understand the frustration and added insult to injury that it causes. Maybe it wouldve been a nice gesture to mention the four band members this time, instead of just two, and stretch to giving all four band members an award, instead of just two. Thanks, Bob Daisley.
