Born December 6, 1956, to Delores and Rhoads His tragic death was the result of a private plane crash in March 20, Leesburg, Florida where Rhoads and two other people - Andrew Aycock, 36, of Leesburg, the plane's pilot, and a hairdresser for the group, Rachel Youngblood, 58, of Los Angeles died in a private jet. Between those years that seemed tragically short he accomplished a legacy that will be with us for the rest of our lives.
Randy Rhoads guitar playing began at the early age of six. He studied classical guitar at Burbank high-school.for classical guitar. Randy's first group was with Quiet Riot, the band put out three albums, he was also in another band called Violet Fox. The two LP's Quiet Riot 1 and Quiet Riot II are in circulation, however very rare. Boots of Violet Fox's material do exist but in slim quantities, I am one of the lucky ones to have most of this material and do cherish it as one of my prized collections. Randy was in two other bands called Mildred Pierce and The Katzenjammer Kids, not much is known about these two bands.
In 1980 Randy joined forces with Ozzy Osbourne
creating perhaps what is the best productions of all time Blizzard Of Oz,
the next was a cd titled Diary Of A Madman. Tribute came from a bootleg
called "Bats Head Soup" recorded live in Cleveland, another one I had long
before they released it... They only released two albums together
but the legacy will be long remembered. Randall William Rhoads is buried
in the Mountain View Cemetary in San Bernadino, CA. Randy, you will
always live on.
