I wonder what he'd be doing now?

Last week when I saw Trans Siberian Orchestra, I couldn't help but imagine Randy loving their melding of classical and metal...

Dont worry,he would have followed the same trajectory of musical genius that has plagued all other guitar heroes-he would have become a boring nostalgia item like evh,jimmy page,clapton et al.Death in your prime allows you to avoid this pitfall.

Yeah but classical muscians get better with time and Randy was no slouch when it came to practicing. I think he might have been a excepton?

He'd probably be driving around in his Volkswagen Cirrica trying to figure out how to use his damn iphone. Imagine the world he would see.

I just hope he would have never gotten a short Alex Lifeson haircut in the mid 80s.

It's hard to imagine an RR being almost 60! He will be a perpetual Peter Pan figure of rock music.

Slept well randy and thanks for the music x
