For a guitarist whose light shone for such a short time, the influence of Randy Rhoads on the rock world is nothing short of amazing. Usually those that die young are lauded for their sex n' drugs lifestyle, but not Randy Rhoads - his legend has grown purely from his playing. Although it is common knowledge that Randy was planning to move away from rock music to pursue more classically inspired music interests, we should always be grateful that while he was with us that he pushed Ozzy Osbourne to his finest solo work and left with a small, but brilliant back catalogue. Randy Rhoads, we salute you.
