Randall William Rhoads in my opinion would have progressed to be one of the world’s greatest guitar players ever. Randy’s untimely death and what music he left us has placed him in a league all his own. Untouchable. The greatest gift he gave us was the concept to develop your own style and not to copy someone else’s playing. Hard work, dedication and the joyous love for the instrument comes through when you play.
Many guitar players are snobbery jerks and that is echoed in their music, which is why Randy’s genuine personality shines through his playing leaving all the other’s chivalry in the dust. His talent and playing is as fresh today as it was thirty years ago. Bless you fine soul, your inspiration grows more and more each day.

Rhoads died on tour with Ozzy Osbourne in 1982 when a plane joyride went wrong – but the young musician had already decided to leave Ozzy’s band. Author Andrew Klein says: “It was his dedication to learning and furthering himself that we find the most inspiring and remarkable. When Randy informed Ozzy he was quitting the rock’n'roll lifestyle in favour of pursuing a master’s degree in classical music, Ozzy asked him to wait a little longer. He said, ‘One more year and you can buy your own university. You have to strike while you are hot.’ Randy didn’t care about any of that. He made up his mind and nothing was going to persuade him otherwise. It’s that dedication to his beliefs that we find so inspiring. Furthering himself musically was at the top of his priority list. Anyone else would have relished in what he was experiencing. He had a long list of things he wanted to accomplish.” [Powerline] [...]
