Haiku – Randy Rhoads

A guitar legend

Fingers flying, lightning quick

Gone, not forgotten

I heard this song earlier today and it just made me sad to think how great this guy was and how quickly he was gone.   R.I.P  Randy Rhoads

Randall William “Randy” Rhoads (December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982) was an American heavy metal guitarist who played with Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot. A devoted student of classical guitar, Rhoads combined his classical music influences with his own heavy metal style. Despite his short career, Rhoads is a major influence on neo-classical metal, is cited as an influence by many guitarists, and is included in several “Greatest Guitarist” lists.[1][2]

      I was going to go with Crazy Train because that is one of his best solos – iconic.
