I just read this on CNN a few minutes ago. I'm not crushed or anything, but it is a sad day for me.
I grew up on early 80's metal and QR's Metal Health was an album I played the grooves off of.
Why, I remember blasting my cassette recording of the album on my 10-D-Cell boombox from hell. I had my denim jacket with all the pins on it....I was cool. Yeah.
QR brought Randy Rhoades into the spotlight...a short-lived, but legendary metal guitarist. And HE brought Ozzy into his own.
RIP, Kevin DuBrow. :beer:
