Yeah old Randy Rhoads, that was a sad story, but if you get drunk and jump
into an aeroplane with a drunk pilot and buzz buildings it was only time before
something was going to happen. I believe Ozzy was actually asleep in the
room that plane crashed into, what a way to wake up eh'. Randy was a very
shy kida guy, while the rest would party after each gig Randy would head back
to the hotel and practice guitar.

I meet Eddie in Sydney when Van Halen toured here, unfortunately Sammy
had just left the band and that idiot from Extreme was the singer, very
disappointing IMO. it was my last rock 'n' roll show I did (apart from a couple
of opera house step gigs. Eddie was a huge influence on me. But I must
admit when I watched him during his sound check, I thought he had gone
to the dogs.
