Randy Rhoads
Randy Rhoads was a major influence on neoclassical metal, having played with Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne. Hundreds of well-known guitarists credit him as an influence. At the age of 25, he died tragically while on tour with Ozzy Osbourne in 1982. A single-engine plane carrying a few band members, including Rhoads, collided with the top of the tour bus, spiraled out of control, and killed everyone on board.
