Randy Rhoads DEAD!
On March 19, 1982 (12 days before my birth) Randall William "Randy" Rhoads died. Randy was an American heavy metal guitarist who is best known for playing with Ozzy Osbourne.
The band was headed to a festival in Orlando Florida, when they stopped at the bus driver's house in Leesburg Florida after driving much of the night. The driver Andrew Aycock took Randy Rhoads and hairdresser Rachel Youngblood on a plane he had taken without permission. During the flight an attempt was made to "buzz" the tour bus where the other band members were sleeping. They succeeded three times but the fourth time it went horribly wrong. The right wing clipped the right side of the tour bus by accident and crashed into a nearby mansion completely destroying the front. Rhoades 25, Aycock 36, and Youngblood 58 were killed instantly.
Here is a classic video of Ozzy and Randy performing Suicide Solution. Get the gun! Get the gun!
