I was 17 in March 1983. A friend and I were huge Randy Rhoads fans and we decided to up and head out from our home in Boston to go to LA on the first anniversary of Randy's death. I had learned about Musonia from a Guitar Player story. We got to LA, bought a street map and a bus schedule and headed toward North Hollywood on the day before the anniversary. We must have walked a mile plus and then we were standing in front of Musonia. We stepped inside and saw Mrs. Rhoads giving a piano lesson. She walked over to us and asked what we wanted. We were tongue-tied. We also had no idea whether she was ok with fans coming to her place of business. After a few seconds of silence, she asked if we were fans of Randy. We said yes. She said she had to finish the lesson, but would be happy to talk with us later. After she was done with the lesson, she gave us a tour of Musonia and spent nearly an hour with us. She was genuinely appreciative that we traveled across the country. She wrote down the cemetery where he was along with her home address and phone number on Musonia stationery.I still have it. Next day, we take a long bus ride to San Bernadino and Mrs. Rhoads introduced us to her family, Randy's girlfriend Jody and some of his friends. She also arranged for a couple of other fans to give us a ride back to LA. We saw the reformed QR at the Roxy that night. I would call her occasionally and send flowers. She was always a sweet lady who never seemed to feel bothered by fans. Just a wonderful lady. I've met his family a few times since on the anniversary and Kelle and Kathy always treat Randy's fans so well. They really are a special family. Such love and devotion to their Mom and to Randy's legacy. Bless all of them.

I don't believe Randy wanted to get his Degree in Classical Guitar as a means of becoming a "Classical Guitarist" I think he was simply eager to learn and try to perfect his trade as a Musician. He truly was dedicated to his Trade. However, I also believe he created a "urgency" to go back to School, because he wanted to get away from Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne was everything BUT professional, regarding his trade as a Vocalist. You have to put yourself in Randy's shoes..... How would you like working with a guy who is constantly drunk and abusing drugs......decides to fire the entire band in the middle of the night, and throws them off the Bus. But you are contractually obligated to play the next show... So, you and the rest of the Band members have to find a ride to the next Gig, and when you get there, Ozzy claims he doesn't even remember it happening! The above is just one TRUE example of what went on while touring with Ozzy Osbourne. As much as I would like to tell you guys all of the stories, I won't. Because it is all in Bob Daisley's book "For Facts Sake" and Bob doesn't deserve to have someone like me tell all the stories. It is a FANTASTIC book, and I highly recommend it. God Bless

Of course people today talk about tuning issues with Fender guitars when they use the whammy. Abstract Guitars was the builder. They were not known back then or even today for building world class guitars. They build some very interesting looking guitars. But I'm not sure if they ever mastered functionality. Your friend was maybe the first person to tech the off set V known as the Concord guitar that Grover Jackson designed for Randy. Would have been shortly after he bought out Charvel. Also have audio of Randy talking about it being a Charvel Guitar but, it said Jackson on the head stock "...everyone asks what's a Jackson?" Of course your friend would also have teched Randy's cream Les Paul Custom. It would be interesting to do an interview with him. I appreciate the comment.

When I think about the electric guitar as the musical instrument in general and for it to be exercised at peak ability, I think of Randy. If I had to select one individual to successfully reach such an almost impossible achievement from all the people in the world, it would be Randall William Rhoads without question. I believe that if he was still alive, he would be the most complete guitar player known today by far, of an unsurpassable level. The instrument itself lost it's only completely able and worthy operator from that day, it's one of the most tragic occurrences that I've ever known but I do feel that he's legacy lives on, just in a higher existence now.

It's a fun thing to dwell on because Randy was such a fantastic guitarist and composer.......but, I kinda think he would have dived heavily into classical guitar, got his degree -- as mentioned -- but at some point, pick the electric back up and do some rocking because he was so good at it. I think the curiosity in fusing rock and classical together -- fully -- would have been very intriguing to him. So much of what we do as musicians is built around inspiration.....and that is....a very tough thing to predict. However you slice it, Randy would have continued to have done amazing things on the guitar and with his original music....can't see him ever getting into anything that resembled a rut.

I really would've liked to have heard what Randy would've been capable of. I mean, he was constantly seeking out lessons and learning and he was a far better guitarist on Diary than he was on Blizzard. That rarely happens in rock. Guitarists do improve, but they rarely take that much of a leap forward in that short of a period of time after reaching the big record deal. I think he would've done some rock oriented projects. He might've even done the virtuoso thing and put out a bunch of instrumental work. I do think he wanted to get away from the machine, that was the Ozzy show. Being the last man standing of the Blizzard group, his unmatched abilities being the one thing keeping his head above water. He was only around for such a small amount of time, but here we are still talking about him. I wish more stuff from the Randy era was released. There's got to be some good soundboard recordings collecting dust somewhere.

Maybe she cries all the time in private when she thinks about her son. If she's still alive that is. I don't know if she is or not. I can't help thinking about the fact that she was the one who encouraged Randy to join Ozzy's band in the first place. Maybe if she hadn't he would still be alive. She says he was happy enough to stay with Quiet Riot. Too bad he didn't. In fact the day of the plane crash he went up in that plane because he wanted to take aerial photos to send to his mother. He was actually afraid of flying. So apparently he was extremely close to his mother and wanted to do everything he could for her. And I guess he paid the ultimate price for that.

@sumbuddy63 I have always considered Bob Daisley to be a person who helped Randy to unlock a lot of creativity. A lot of the songs we hear on Blizzard and Diary were riffs Randy had for a long time. When he got with Bob he really kind of worked it out it seems.

The best guitarists loved the instrument. It was their life. Randy was going to quit being a rock star to go off and master classical guitar. EVH wouldnt go out and party bc he just wanted to practice guitar. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai practiced like 10 hours a day. You have to want it that much.

So sad that Randy died before he got to really see the level of influence he had on guitar players and the music scene in general. Randy and EVH literally changed the way people played the instrument. I never saw a rivalry or any need to compare the two, they were just two innovators that fortunately for us existed at the same time. Sadly we lost them both now, but Randy died way too soon. I can't even imagine the music he would have created on his own. 😥

I do not disagree with that. But I believe a bigger part of that decision was probably based on watching Sharon Osbourne fire the most important contributors to the records "Blizzard of Oz" and "Diary of a Madman" Not to mention how everything else changed after the recording of those albums. Bob Daisley talks of how hard he and Randy fought to keep the name of the band "Blizzard of Oz" it was NEVER supposed to be "Ozzy Osbourne" it was supposed to be a band called "Blizzard of Oz" and Randy, Bob, and Lee even agreed they could put on the Album cover something like "......featuring the vocals of Ozzy Osbourne....." Or whatever. In the end. People were used and tossed out with the trash. And I'm sure there was a part of Randy that wondered if or when he would be next. Sharon Osbourne and the Osbourne machine have used and abused and thrown into the trash, SO MANY great artist not to mention people, over the years. The truth is honestly sickening.

@@DetroitWrecker666 completely agree! Not to mention the number they played on Jake E. Lee about not getting paid for the first album (bark at the moon) he recorded, only for Ultimate Sin. I recall Ozzy told him something along the lines of “that’s how the industry works, you should’ve asked for payment before recording” along with some other profanities. Zakk Wylde probably knows this too so he went on his own as well. Sharon did screw up the band, and is quite ruthless with the actual people that make Ozzy’s music. Yet without her, Ozzy wouldn’t be as rich as he is today. At this point Ozzy Osbourne is a firm, a franchise, but it is not a band anymore. Skip to 2020, Gus G is a great guitar player but we’ll see how much he lasts with Ozzy.

@@jomesias I didn’t know that about Ozzy, and I’m kinda bummed now that I do. I knew Sharon had taken after her father, but I always held out hope that Ozzy was different - just dominated and controlled by her, and too docile, inebriated or out of his tree to stand up to her. And after getting screwed over by both Sabbath and Warner/Don Arden, I thought he might have made a point not to do the same thing. I do know that Sharon and Ozzy were deeply in debt in the early 80’s, so maybe that played a part. Record companies were so horrible - they were basically just banks, lending money and resources. However, instead of paying back the loan with interest, these banks would still own your house at the end and would collect the $$ for renting it out, plus force you to build more houses under the same terms.

The death of Randy Rhoаds is a very huge and terrible tragedy. I can’t imagine the horror that could have gripped Randy Rhoаds when all this happened, when he understood that it was a disaster and the plane would collide with the ground. This is complete horror. He just wanted to fly (like driving a car) and take photographs. And here it is......... Terrible. Very terrible. He didn’t want to fly on this damn plane (he was generally afraid of flying on planes). I am sure that Randy only boarded this damn plane for the sake of his mother, only to take photographs from above, because he wanted to please his mother with these photographs. I always wonder why you Randy got on that damn plane. Very sad. Randy Rhoаds is always in our hearts ❤ . tears on eyes 😢 .

Hearing all of this makes me think of the heartbreak that these wonderful people have had to endure in losing their brother and son. And they’re so courageous, hearing them remember Randy. People of great Faith, no doubt. What a waste, to be chewed up by this Rock Star machine. He would have studied classical guitar, gotten his master’s degree and probably been a venerated teacher and performer in his own right. He could have had his nice little life, or maybe a bit bigger life through his talent!...but he would have taught at his Mom’s school or maybe started his own...he would have had an otherwise normal and fulfilling life. But he got snatched up by this bullshit and it killed him...and I know the Rock scene to a degree having played in well-known local bands for many years. It’s essentially where all the outcasts and rejects go because EVERY ONE is accepted. And this idiot bus driver/pilot (where’d he get his license?...K-Mart?) is a prime example, although on a higher level. He just had to show off, and look what happened. I’ve been studying to be a certified drone operator, and the FAA study guide teaches a lot of the same stuff you need to get a real pilot’s license. The safety information and how to deal with emergencies has been updated in very recent years so this idiot would never have seen it back in those days. It says the NUMBER ONE most dangerous threat to any flight is a pilot who feels he has something to prove or who wants to show off. The most dangerous words that can ever be spoken by a pilot - and this is right out of the study guide: “Hey! Watch this!” Fucking asshole.
