Lets Talk About Random Shit Thread.

You're joking right?

Randy Rhoads' guitar work made Ozzy valid as a solo artist, hordes of guitarists propelled his album sales just to listen to Randy.

Many of the big name metal acts of the 80's & 90's had 2 key ingredients, a charismatic singer and a guitarist with great hooks and/or some virtuosity... and they'd be nobodies if they didn't have good songs.
