38 Years 3/19 Randy Rhoads - What song introduced you to him

When I heard the track Diary of a Madman, it had the same affect on me as Eruption. What's yours?

It was the summer of '81 and I heard "I Don't Know" while riding the Roundabout at our local town's Independence Day carnival / celebration. It changed my life to this day. One of my favorite days / memories.

Just the same, "Diary of a Madman" is one of my favorite songs to listen to of all time. And I suppose I'll put it on sometime today to remember The Master.

For me it was Crazy Train on the radio in the spring of 1981... then that summer I was introduced to Dee, Suicide Solution and Goodbye to Romance at church camp. It's been a long crazy ride ever since.

A friend gave me a tape with Mr Crowley in it and I was in love!
Cologne she'll wear silver and americard, She'll drive a beetle car and beat you down at cool Canasta. And when the clothes are strewn don't be afraid of the room touch the fullness of her breast feel the love of her caress she will be your living end.

Someone gave me a mix tape in 1988 that had a couple Ozzy songs, Crazy Train and You Can't Kill Rock n Roll. A year later I started playing guitar.

Honestly I can't pinpoint anything as it was 35 years ago. All I can remember was getting the "speak of the devil" album (because I was a big sabbath fan)..this helped me realise that ozzy was the singer (haha) so the next album I got was Bark at the moon ... the next day I went and got Diary (because of the cover) and within 2 weeks I got a guitar to start to learn. Still playing now thanks to Randy (and Jake on the salt lake city VHS)
