Got this from Blabbermouth....partial interview:
Question: When did you first meet Randy?
Rudy: "I saw him play before I met him. I have a book called 'Off The Rails' and the publisher at the time, Cherry Lane, suggested a subtitle 'Off The Rails - My Adventures In The Land Of Ozz'. One of the reasons why I chose Cherry Lane was not only because my relationship with John Sticks, the publisher, but also his relationship with Randy. He was the editor of Guitar World and he knew Randy pretty well. I knew the book was going to be a labor of love. But it also happened that Cherry Lane also has the sheet music for the Ozzy/Randy catalog. So when Sharon Osbourne found out the book was going to be hitting the street on September 14th, they put a 'cease and desist' order and applied pressure. After many communications between Cherry Lane's lawyers and the Osbourne lawyers, it finally came down to Sharon writing me a very nasty letter and putting an ultimatum on Cherry Lane that if the book was published, she (Sharon Osbourne) was going to pull the catalog. So the contract was released… right now I have another deal in the works and it's still going to come out — thank God! Also, the Editor in Chief at Guitar World contacted me because they are putting together a tribute to Randy. It's the whole issue and they will be using some excerpts from the book." [NOTE: The issue is available now]
She never fails to demonstrate what a kunt she is....
