Randy Rhoads Years

just 2 quick thoughts, the randy rhoads years isn't a gh compilation cause they had no american hits, it's more of a best of,

and shouldn't the rr years be listed uner the notable events? I mean, if thunderbird was, why not this?

Blizzard/Diary Recording Session

Right now the Career section says "The band toured extensively and then quickly wrote and recorded a follow-up album." I had heard that both albums were recorded at about the same time. After the Blizzard tour in 1981, they took a short vacation, then Diary was released (it had already been recorded the previous year), they got a new stage, & the tour continued. That's why Rudy didn't play on Diary, but toured with Blizzard. I remember interviews with Ozzy stating he did this deliberately. Sorry, I don't have the original articles here with me to justify editing the article, but hope that this tip will prompt someone to research it, & make the appropriate edit.--Funhistory (talk)

Randy was in fact in a band called "The Whore", and I think Kelly Garni was in it, too. There was an issue of Guitar Legends a year or two ago that mentions this.

Ooops, ignore that. I meant to put it in the above "Vandalism" section.
