Randy Rhoads' 25th
Well here it is March 19th tommorow, the day Randy Rhoads crashed in a private plane; a 1955 Beechcraft Bonanza F-35. He was on tour in the states for guitar duties on Ozzy's Diary Of A Madman album.
He's been gone for 25 years and still his legacy lives on. Though his spin with Quiet Riot was too image-driven, his true star rose while composing freely in Ozzy's band. His classical flair fused with the raw power of metal, and in merely two albums the axeman produced more memorable moments than most in an entire career.
To me he is a heavy influence in both rythm and lead stylings, an exemple of patience and discpline. I also imagine the pain Ozzy still feels, having lost his greatest friend. In my profile, there's a drawing of Randy I made, hope you people like it.

So then, let's all give the man a warm tribute and play his solos till our fingers bleed, or go watch the Crazy Train video!
