A quiet, gentle man, liked by all, Randy Rhoads changed the course of rock - and especially metal. His neo-classical stylings, his incredible precision and his deep love of his instrument helps him to stand apart from so many other rock n rollers. Seemingly more interested in music itself, and in learning and teaching it especially, then the rock world and its trappings, he touched all that he met and played with - and was truly one of the greats.
