Randy Rhoads family did not own a stereo when he was small. He and his siblings would create their own music at home to entertain themselves. In the family’s garage, Randy listened to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and would imitate performances with his brother Kelle. Both of his parents were music teachers. At the age of 7, Randy began taking folk and classical guitar and piano lessons at his mother's music school. At the age of 16, he began teaching guitar at his mother's school during the day and playing live gigs at night.
As an adult he was the co-founder and original guitarist of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot, and the guitarist and co-songwriter for Ozzy Osbourne's first two solo albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. Rhoads was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
Randall William Rhoads died March 19, 1982 at the age of 25.
