Before the blast
Early-life details remain lightly handled until stronger primary sourcing is ready. V1.0 begins the public story where the verified musical record gets stronger.
Story
Several loud lives in one.
Randy's public story moves through early Vancouver punk, D.O.A., the 1982 EP, Annihilator, later returns and the people who still connect the rooms.
Timeline rooms
The path through the noise.
Vancouver punk begins
D.O.A. forms in Vancouver. Early shows, the Smilin' Buddha and the first D.O.A. recordings become the opening room of Randy's public musical history.
Early D.O.A.
The D.O.A. chapter connects stage energy, records, road stories, photographs and unresolved timeline questions without burying visitors in footnotes.
Randy Rampage ST EP
The Friends Records EP anchors Benny Doro's documented solo-guitar connection on "Livin' On Borrowed Time" and opens the related Sick Ones material.
Alice in Hell
Randy's lead vocal presence on Annihilator's "Alice in Hell" connects the punk and metal rooms without flattening either period into a simple resume line.
Returns and road years
Later D.O.A. returns, Rampage material, public interviews, friends and road evidence keep the story moving forward.
Firsthand material
Benny's recollections live inside Randy's story.
Benny's firsthand history with Randy is integrated where it adds context that the public record cannot supply: first seeing D.O.A., roadie years, Randy looking after him, the EP session connection, later friendship and care.
No standalone Benny section is used in V1.0. Randy remains the subject.
