• Excellent book
  This was a story that I had been waiting to read about for years. Once I got this book I couldn't put it down, and I finished it in one day. Though I knew the tragic ending, I didn't know a lot of the little details in between. I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Randy Rhoads, or rock n' roll in general.

  I found Rudy Sarzo's approach and writing style to be too sophomoric. It almost felt like I was reading a... more info

• Sarzo's "Tribute" To Rhoads Enjoyable
  Rudy Sarzo's "Off The Rails" is an enjoyable look at the short period of his association with Quiet Riot, Randy Rhoads and two tours with Ozzy until Rhoads' subsequent death. This book is not a career overview but a brief glimpse into the beginnings of Quiet Riot and Ozzy's solo outings and Sarzo calls this his tribute to Randy Rhoads.
  My only complaint with this book is the simplistic dialog he uses between himself, Rhoads and other members of Ozzy's camp. I understand that Sarzo cannot write... more info
