Don't really like March 19th.......

Can't believe its been 32 years since the tragic death of one of the best Randy Rhoads!! Make sure you rock some Crazy Train for the man today!! RIP Randy

He's still a HUGE influence on my playing!

 

[Drew]

The best there ever was or will be. His live solo as heard on Tribute is still a clinic in technique, theory, and composition

RIP RR

It's nice to see Randy hasn't been forgotten after 32 years! He and Eddie were the two reasons I started playing guitar and probably are still my biggest inspirations. I plan to jam some Mr. Crowley, Over the Mountain (my daughter's favorite), and Diary of a Madman tonight in his honor! :rock:

This thread inspired my to listed to the Tribute album at work. Such a classic album and amazing guitar player!

Wow. 32 years? I remember it like it was yesterday. I was a sophomore in high school and a HUGE Ozzy fan

 

[NomadMike]

I hated Black Sabbath but was shocked when I heard Randy and Ozzie and loved what they were doing.

Late to the thread, but big influence for me as well. I never really wanted to ape Eddie's style, but I wanted to do what Randy did.

Was lucky enough to see him on the Diary tour - wish I remembered more, but we ended up moving around a lot trying to find a place where we could see.

I still play the Goodbye To Romance solo almost every time I pick up a guitar.

I can't believe it's been 32 years, either - I still remember sitting on the living room floor and hearing the news. To this day, I'm a sucker for a magazine w/a Randy cover.
