L.A. GUNS<\/strong> guitarist Tracii Guns<\/strong> has explained his decision to narrate last year’s “Randy Rhoads: Reflections Of A Guitar Icon”<\/strong>, a documentary about legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads<\/strong>, despite the fact that the Rhoads<\/strong> family was not involved in the making of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier today (Friday, January 13),Guns<\/strong> shared the “Reflections Of A Guitar Icon”<\/strong> poster on his Instagram<\/strong>, and he included the following message: “So this was released last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I have a very sacred relationship with Randy<\/strong>‘s sister Kathy<\/strong> and it was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Kathy<\/strong> and myself are really protective over Randy<\/strong>‘s legacy and we made this agreement long ago that exploiting Randy<\/strong>‘s name in any impure way was not acceptable at any time. So, when I got the call to do this my heart raced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So here is the deal. This documentary was going to be completed and released no matter what and I knew that in advance and I knew Kathy<\/strong> was not supportive of this type of thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My decision was based on this . If the documentary was going to be released I knew that it was anyone else really but me possibly that Kathy<\/strong> would be very sad and also angry. I watched the documentary before I made my decision and I made the decision that it was put together with love and also critically accurate and that instead of feeling like it was something put together loosely I felt proud of the directors work and we moved forward. I didn’t tell Kathy<\/strong> in advance because I knew she would try to talk me out of it and because I have so much respect for her I would have agreed not to do it and then someone else would have done it anyway and then that resentment could have possibly lasted a lifetime in Kathy<\/strong>‘s mind but, I knew once I talked to her and explained the situation that she would probably agree with me and then we could all feel good about my decision. And that’s exactly what happened and it actually brought us closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I waited almost a year to post anything about this great story because I did not want to exploit the business side of this specific product. The good news is that it has been extremely well received and Randy<\/strong> fans have expressed their gratitude for learning new things about Randy<\/strong> and getting to hear his voice. It’s truly a magical documentary and at this point I suspect most of the people reading this have seen it by now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Long live Randy<\/strong> and his spirit and I love you to the moon and beyond @dargmama .”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
