RANDY RHOADS: 'Inspirations' Book Available For Free Download

April 28, 2006

According to a posting on Ozzyhead.com, a "great" book on Randy Rhoads written by Diane Pearson — which was due to be printed a few years back but for some reason never saw the light of day — is available free download as a 242-page Microsoft Word document at this location. Titled "Inspirations – The Randy Rhoads Legacy", the book features a ton of interviews with fans and people who worked closely with the great late Rhoads, including:

Kelly Garni (QUIET RIOT)
Kevin DuBrow (QUIET RIOT)
Keith Lynch (guitarist for Bill Ward)
Ronnie Ciago (drummer for Bill Ward)
Barry Sparks (MICHAEL SCHENKER GROUP, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN)
Wally Farkas (GALACTIC COWBOYS)
Marty Friedman (MEGADETH)
Rudy Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, OZZY)
Tommy Aldridge (OZZY)
Bernie Torme (OZZY)
Eric Turner (WARRANT)

In 1982, Randy Rhoads, the lead guitarist for OZZY OSBOURNE, and two others were killed at Flying Baron Estates, just outside Leesburg, Florida, when their small plane struck Osbourne's tour bus, then crashed into a mansion.
