Words form Ozzy Osbourne taken off the Tribute Cd cover, "March 19th 1982 is a day that will live with me forever. Not only did I lose my best friend but the greatest musician I had ever known. Randy Rhoads came into my life in 1979. At that time I was Incredibly depresed, and he was what I had dreamed about in a guitar player. He helped make all my dreams come true. Along the way we became buddies and business partners. Randy was a very special person, he inspired, cheered and made everyone in contact with him, feel good. Building the band with Randy was one of the happiest times of my life." | Guitarist, God or both. | |||||||||||||||||

A few words on Randy by his mother, Delores Rhoads, "He was born in St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Califonia on December 6th, 1956. His full name Is Randall William Roads. He attended 1st Lutheran School in Burbank. He went to John Muir Jr. High School, Attended Burbank High School and Graduated in a special program in order to receive his High School Diploma and still carry on with his music. He was a very good student and received all A's and B's. He started his music at the age of 6 1/2 using his grandfather's old acoustic Gibson Guitar. He studied music in my school and grew up musically there in many ways. He also taught guitar in my school for 5 years just before going with Ozzy. At that same time Randy formed Quiet Riot and was working hard to promote the band. Randy was about 16 when he formed Quiet Riot. In the last 2 1/2 years of his life he became intensely interested in classical guitar. His goal was to receive a Masters Degree in classical guitar and then combine the two fields of rock and classical guitar. What a unique sound that would have been. Diligence, dedication and intense devotion to the guitar - that was certainly Randy. But above all, Randy was a beautiful human being. His kindness and charm won the hearts of many people." | |||||||||||||||||
