Still remember it like it was yesterday, on my way home from high school and heard the tragic news on the radio. He was only 25 years old. I think the best was yet to come. The blending of rock with his classical tendencies, or if he was going to leave it all behind to study and play classical guitar only. I’m sure either path he chose would have been groundbreaking and amazing. RIP
One of the greatest rock solos, IMO.

His early stuff with Quiet Riot was some of the best guitar work I ever heard at that time.
When he joined Ozzy, he was by far the most talented guitarist in the rock / metal business.
I'm so glad I got to see him live. One of the best guitarist to ever walk on planet Earth.

As Zakk Wylde says, he was St. Rhoads. Never be another like him. RIP

RIP.
As talented as he was, he was still miles behind Malmsteen with regards to the neoclassical stuff.
I think he would have been happy stepping away and just being an instructor.

Huge loss for Rock Music.
He probably would be doing a lot of Classical Guitar and Jazz Fusion today, if he were alive, IMHO. I don't think he was the type that would just keep touring and playing the same old Classic Rock tunes with Ozzy. He would have moved on to something else.
I could be wrong.

The only celebrity death in which I still remember where I was when I heard the news. I recently read Rudy Sarzo’s biography and was surprised to read that hitting the bus was allegedly an intentional act by the pilot - he was aiming for his ex. Good read - it’s as much a story of life with Randy as it is Rudy’s autobiography. Randy had already informed Ozzy he was leaving to teach at his mom’s music school after the Diary tour. Ozzy did not take it well.
