Thought I would share this...
"To go off on a tangent Jake, I’ve always wondered what it was like to follow in such impressive footsteps as those of Randy Rhoads? From the outside it always looked like you handled it really well. Was that the case?
I handled it the way I pretty much handle everything – on an even keel. I don’t get frightened, I don’t get nervous. Randy Rhoads was obviously almost a superhuman guitarist and I’d like to thank him for being that, because by having to follow him I think it upped my game guitar wise. I was always a good guitarist – maybe even a great one – but because I was going to have to follow up Randy, I think he helped me step up my game quite a bit and become a better guitar player in a shorter amount of time than I would normally have. That’s what I take away from following Randy. He helped me become better."
