Thanks to Randy Rhoads, I am a big fan of old Ozzy stuff, mainly up to No More Tears, after that it gets shakier and shakier.
Randy though, is another of my absolute favourite guitar heroes. What he could do with six strings was amazing and like a lot of others I am pissed beyond belief that he was taken so early from us.
Listening to him play on Tribute you can hear a master at work as he effortlessly makes it all seem easy. For such a little guy he had a massive sound and ability.
The dodgy bootlegs that are available show him prowling the stage, dominating it, yet he was so quiet off stage. He really transformed when playing live.
I was so excited to hear earlier this year that special 30th Anniversary editions of Blizzard and Diary were supposed to be released for Thanksgiving, which has now come and gone. No real word has come but I think they are delayed until 2011 now.
I was so excited as not only were these editions going to restore the bass and drum tracks removed in a totally blasphemous act in 2002 by Sharron, but also they would have previously unseen live concert footage for Randy, which has somehow come to light after all these years.
Fuck, it's about time someone "found" this footage for the fans to see, there are only so many times you can watch After Hours, and it's annoying when Randy is soloing and the show Rudy or Ozzy, what a waste!!!!!
C'mon Sharon, get these albums out!!!!!!!!!!!! Redeem yourself.
