Randel Z.
Guss was born March 7th, 1967 in
Michigan. He moved to California when he was four, along with a brother,
Sean. Married to wife Heather since August 1994 and they have a son named
Caleb (born September 16th, 1996). He is Lakers fan, writes
with his right hand, and his father-in-law is (was?) a Hells Angel! Way back in Toad's early days, they performed a song
entitled "the Ballad of Randy Guss" in which Randy and Todd swapped
instruments, Randy sang back-up and Glen crooned, "He's in a band with
Todd, Glen and Dean Dinning... He smokes Marlboro reds... but tonight it's Camel
Filters... Tonight.. Tonight... Tonight.. it's Camel Filters..." The song
is all about Randy and his love of smoking. Light-hearted in nature and silly,
the song fits him quite well. Randy is a drummer (Toad, Lapdog, Charttoppers,
Stegasaurus, the list goes on), but he also did some managing once Toad first
broke up. He is currently a member of Lapdog (but wasn't the official
drummer in the band until fall 2000) around the time that "Near
Tonight" was released.
Apologies to Randy for
his bio being so short... but I just don't have much information on him at all!!
