Concert Review: Randy Rhoads Remembered

ChelseaConcert Reviews

BashFest 2017, a yearly event coinciding with NAMM, a time when the cream of the crop comes to town in terms of musicians and you just never know who you might spot. A short distance away from all the Anaheim NAMM goings-on, Santa Ana’s historic (and maybe a little haunted, depending on who you ask) Yost Theater was the setting for this year’s festivities. Randy Rhoads Remembered was the focus on January 19th, bringing in Hard Rock and Metal musicians from around the country to pay tribute to a legendary guitarist whose music has had a significant impact on so […]

Randy Rhoads Remembered Interviews: Brian Tichy

ChelseaInterviews

The red carpet reception before the Randy Rhoads Remembered concert was the perfect opportunity to talk with the founder of the event himself, Brian Tichy. I was able to catch him for a few words on the event and his thoughts on Randy just before the show started. This is the fourth annual BashFest, a really great event with lots going on, and of course it’s your own creation in Tichy/Sutton Productions. So how does it feel seeing it all come together for the fourth time in a row? It really is great, this makes it all worth it, because […]

Randy Rhoads Remembered Interviews: Eddie Trunk

ChelseaInterviews

Eddie Trunk hosted quite a few concerts in a row during NAMM week, including the Hall of Heavy Metal History and Randy Rhoads Remembered. Despite the stormy night outside on the red carpet, we stepped aside out of the rain for a quick chat about Eddie’s latest radio shows, the Hall, and of course – Randy Rhoads Remembered. You hosted the Hall of Heavy Metal History last night, great event and the first of its kind. Just wanted to get some of your thoughts on what it was like to host and pay tribute to all those great artists. It […]

Randy Rhoads Remembered Interviews: Chas West

ChelseaInterviews

Closing out the night of interviews on the red carpet for me was vocalist Chas West. The show was just about to start, so I didn’t want to keep him long, but I did get a little insight on the event, and found out about a new solo record on the way. I know you only have a minute or so before you have to get inside, so I just want to get some quick thoughts on tonight’s event. Sure! Oh, it’s great. It’s a great show, you know. I think this is the fourth year we’ve done this now. […]

Randy Rhoads Remembered Interviews: Ira Black

ChelseaInterviews

Ira Black seems to come along with his own tagline – “the best hair in metal”. With a background that includes bands like Metal Church, Westfield Massacre, Lizzy Borden, and Vicious Rumors, among many others though, there’s no question of his impressive guitar abilities. Ira stopped by the red carpet before going in to take the stage at Randy Rhoads Remembered, and I was able to grab him for a quick interview about the show. Just want to start out getting some of your thoughts on tonight, what an awesome event, Randy Rhoads Remembered. Oh man, I’m just blown away […]

Randy Rhoads Remembered Interviews: Scotti Hill

ChelseaInterviews

“Crazy Train” is probably the best known song from Randy Rhoads, so being the guitarist to take it on in a tribute to the great virtuoso himself must be both a thrilling and daunting experience. It certainly seemed to provide nothing but excitement for the musician who took it on at this event, as he was very enthusiastic about the whole thing. Scotti Hill of Skid Row was the man who took to the stage to play this wildly successful hit, and I had a few words with him on the red carpet reception beforehand to get his thoughts on […]
