    Hey Tour.

    How long are you gonna let Russ bogart this thread? I think maybe it is time for someone else to roll up a big fat question. Hell you started this so write some new rules. You have the POWER! Russ is probably over on some other thread arguing with mantis and does not have time to play trivia. Please, please don't pick MX or me to ask the next question.

    Actually the above is the question on the table...

    Jstas passed it... Russ didn't catch it, so it's Jstas' to take back.

    My first reaction was 'cause I did not have a friggin' clue (and I still don't)... so I was being like sarcastic or something... :rolleyes:

    Jstas, give us till Wednesday evening say 20:00 EST, and if we cry uncle you can collect the first "Stumper" award and the ball is still your's.

    Remember y'all no looking up the answers except in your collection (although in this case I think your kids' collections are fair play, too). Other than that it's the ol' grey matter only...

    C'mon... we have plenty of LOTW freaks in the Club. Someone has to know...

    BTW until I come across a better gif, this is the "Stumper" award..
    More later,
    Tour...

    Yeah but the song is only on two or three albums that I highly doubt 2 of the 3 are not in anyone's collection and the third one being a pretty obscure album to begin with. I just want to make sure shack is playing within the rules. That's all. I'm not going to give up a chance to ask another question so easily.

    Sorry, Russ... good question, but...
    Jstas' hand-off to you was a limited time offer, which he reluctantly recinded after a reasonalbe wait...
    I'm afraid now you'll have to get one right before you get to ask one...

    Jstas, I am sure you're craving that first "Stumper" award, but based on everything I've seen from Shack in the "RnR Reminiscing" threads, I have no doubt whatsoever that he doesn't need to break the rules to answer 'bout anything we can throw at him... I am sure he will affirm this...

    Shack's got the ball...

    The great Randy Rhodes is the correct answer, if anyone cares to know that.

    I'm out on this game!

    While the most dominating and influential heavy metal guitarist of the '80s would have to be Eddie Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne's original guitarist, Randy Rhoads, was one of the few guitarists of the era to create his own signature style. While just about every other guitarist was merely copying Van Halen's unorthodox two-hand tapping technique, Rhoads was one of the first heavy metal guitarists to incorporate classical music into his playing (later picked up by such six-string shredders as Yngwie Malmsteen).

    Although he only issued a pair of major-label albums during his lifetime, he immediately reached legendary status upon his tragic death in early 1982. Rhoads was born on December 6, 1956, in Santa Monica, CA. Rhoads came from a musical family (his mother was a school music teacher) and began playing guitar before he even reached the age of ten. By his teenage years, Rhoads had become interested in the hard rock sounds of Mountain, Led Zeppelin, and Alice Cooper and as his musical taste changed, so had his guitar style. After playing in several school bands, Rhoads hooked up with singer Kevin DuBrow and formed Quiet Riot.

    Along with Van Halen, Quiet Riot became a major draw on the L.A. club circuit even though new wave and punk were the most dominating musical styles on the Sunset Strip. While the band wasn't able to secure a U.S. record deal, they released two albums in Japan: 1977 's Quiet Riot and 1978's Quiet Riot II. Frustrated that the band wasn't getting anywhere in their homeland, Rhoads tried out for the guitar position in ex-Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne's solo band. Rumor has it that Rhoads was hired before he even played a note because he "looked the part." Osbourne's first solo release, 1980's Blizzard of Ozz, has become one of hard rock/heavy metal's greatest releases of all-time, largely due in part to Rhoads' fiery playing. Such tracks as "I Don't Know," "Crazy Train," "Suicide Solution," and "Mr. Crowley" have become metal standards and all showcased Rhoads' talents (also of note was a brief classical acoustic guitar piece he penned for his mother, "Dee"). The album was a surprise hit as the new band toured, resulting in another album a year later, Diary of a Madman. Although Rhoads voiced dissatisfaction with his playing on the album in interviews at the time (they were rushed to meet a deadline), his six-string work was astounding, especially on such tracks as "Over the Mountain," "Flying High Again," "Little Dolls," and the title track.

    Rhoads was finally getting his due as a guitarist (he just won the Best New Guitarist award from Guitar Player magazine), when he was killed in a freak airplane accident while on tour in Florida on the morning of March 19, 1982. As with other talented musicians who died far too early, Rhoads' stature in the hard rock world reached mythic proportions. A Rhoads/Osbourne live album (Tribute) that was originally to be issued in 1982 was shelved until 1987. The album was an automatic Top Ten hit, as it proved once and for all the incredible skill and endless potential that the young guitar player possessed. Jackson Guitars also started issuing a line of Randy Rhoads-model guitars, based on a prototype that was finished just prior to his death. And 11 years after his passing, a Rhoads-era compilation was issued by his former band, Quiet Riot, entitled The Randy Rhoads Years. Rhoads' death remains one of rock's all-time greatest tragedies. — Greg Prato
