Randy Rhoads Quotes

I was more influenced by players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen than by the guys in southern rock bands.

Randy [ Rhoads] had small hands. Boy, could he play guitar. He became an even better guitar player after he died.

He [Randy Rhoads] was really a good guy. I never could get over how incredibly little he was.

Randy [Rhoads] was laid to rest at a place called Mountain View Cemetery, where his grandparents were buried. I made a vow there and then to honour his death every year by sending flowers. Unlike most of my vows, I kept it. But I’ve never been back to his graveside. I’d like to go there again one day, before I finally join him on the other side.

My heroes were Eddie Van Halen - especially after Van Halen I, II, III, and IV - Randy Rhoads, Ace Frehley and dudes like that. My brother played drums and we jammed in the garage and started writing our own stuff.
