Hello, I'm SolarFlash. Your recent edit(s) to the page Randy Rhoads appears to have added incorrect information, so it has been removed for now.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. SolarFlash (talk) 19:56, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
Wrongful cite
editI listed my source as "Netflix Original Rolling Thunder Revue, A Bob Dylan story by Martin Scorsese. I am trying to make sure that this legend gets his proper cudos. I am new to this so instead of deleting the viable information, tell me what I need to do. Mstrsofmyhm (talk) 22:15, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
- The official page of film you're quoting makes no mention whatsover of Randy Rhoads. I can assure you that he has never ever ever played for Bob Dylan. You are quite likely mistaking Mick Ronson for Rhoads. Google him, he's a dead ringer for Rhoads. SolarFlash (talk) 01:30, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Sure enough, I checked and Mick Ronson was confirmed in Dylan's band at that time [1]. Definitely not Randy Rhoads. SolarFlash (talk) 01:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
Have you looked at ALL of my references i.e. watched the performances? He was a back up musician. I can see both Mick and Randy on stage at the same time. Yes you are right they do look a lot alike, but that Les Paul don't lie.
- Well, if what you are claiming is true (and it absolutely isn't), you should have no problems at all finding multiple reliable sources to PROVE it. Edit warring will only get you blocked, so reliable sources are a must. Citations must state clearly that RR was a member of Bob Dylan's band, and since he never was, this might be a problem for you. Best of luck. SolarFlash (talk) 13:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
In addition, during the "Hard Rain, Bob Dylan Rolling Thunder Revue Fort Collons CO 1976, you can clearly see Mick Ronson playing "Shelter From the Storm" wearing a white turban/cap, long sleeved blue jacket, and sunglasses approximately 23 mins into the film. At the end of the song you can clearly see Randy's famous Les Paul setting in the background. The next song "Maggie's Farm" you can see both Mick and Randy playing. Randy is wearing a blue turban/cap and a cream colored striped shirted sleeve shirt. Mick was tall, Randy stood a mere 5'7". Now, I'm open for more discussion, but once you see this, and realize I'm right could you please correct what you deleted. This is HUGE. He WAS NOT a member, but a backup player. Who rarely if ever get recognized. Have you looked at anything I cited before you deleted it? Furthermore, Wikepedia is created by people like you and me, which means it could be wrong.
- You are wrong. Nothing more needs to be said. Enjoy your day. SolarFlash (talk) 14:27, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
- Is [2] this the performance you're referring to? The guy "wearing a blue turban/cap and a cream colored striped shirted sleeve shirt" is NOT Randy Rhoads. Again, it's MICK RONSON. I think it's safe to say that Gibson manufactured more than one cream colored Les Paul guitar. Are we done? SolarFlash (talk) 14:43, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
