To borrow a line from The Kinks: “give the people what they want.”
And Gibson will, as they have just announced an upcoming release of the legendary axe.
Randy’s Les Paul was used on the landmark albums “Blizzard Of Ozz” (1980) and “Diary Of A Madman” (1981), Ozzy Osbourne’s first two solo releases. At the time, Rhoads was considered the hottest new player on the scene, tearing up stages everywhere as Ozzy’s guitarist and, before that, as a member of Quiet Riot. Sadly, Rhoads’ life was cut short by a plane crash while on tour in the spring of ’82 (see here for the full story).
Ozzy will be re-releasing his first two solo albums (featuring Rhoads) this fall, following years of controversy over tampering with the music by his wife, and manager, Sharon. See here and here for details.
