Randy Rhoads
Ozzy Osbourne's legendary guitarist who brought classical music discipline and technique to heavy metal. His Les Paul through cranked Marshalls with a Cry Baby wah and MXR distortion created a precise, aggressive tone that raised the bar for metal guitar virtuosity. Tragically killed in a tour bus accident at age 25.
