Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 4405624, member: 7894"] "Randy Rhoads: Reflections Of A Guitar Icon." Documentary on Amazon. I certainly was aware of him, but honestly didn't really know his story. I knew him from being w/ Ozzy's band, didn't even know he was a founding member of Quiet Riot. I also knew he died young but didn't know the circumstances at all. In an industry that takes so many due to excesses of drugs and alcohol, that wasn't him at all. Died in a small plane crash, piloted by the tour bus driver, who was taking some crazy and totally unjustifiable risks. Anyway, I found it interesting. Quiet Riot was several years ahead of Motley Crue and others from the whole LA metal scene. Toiled for years, had a good following in the clubs but just couldn't get a record company to sign them.
