It's a monstrous pleasure to see Randy Rhoads ahead of E.V.H.!!! As an obsessed music lover, and one who attended 3 "Ozzy/Randy/Sarzo/Aldridge/Don Airey" shows in 1981 (and the best show of my life at the time) The Dec 31,1981 New Years Eve show here in L.A. at the L.A. Sports Arena (I still own the shirt w/ the date on the back and the smiling skeletons' eyeball in the wine-glass w/ 3 white stripes on each shirt sleeve, but I digress) I can honestly say that Randy Rhoads was by far the most underrated guitarist of the 80's. 2 Vinyl Albums. (And thank god for giving us the internet s we can acquire all the live shows he played---where one can hear how his left hand was in "absolute sick synchronicity" w/ his right picking hand,think other-worldly) A true loss to the future of the guitar and I await the future date to meet St. Peter and learn why he was removed from earth so early. Some things I simply won't ever understand until then.
There, I've wanted to say that out loud for years.
I still own the shirt w/ the date on the back... I think I can beat that...
I have a promo flyer for the show in Des Moines where Ozzy bit the head off of the bat!!!
