POWERS COURT RANDY RHOADS TRIBUTE PAGE
~Randy's Account~


This article was taken from a taped recording of one of Randy's workshops.


Student: Is it true that when you auditioned for Ozzy you didn't even have to play?

Randy: Yeah...it was even more embarrassing than this. *laughs* I thought I was gonna play with a band. All I brought was this little Fender warm-up amp. When I got there, everyone was behind the glass, and in the room was just me and my amp. And they said, "Okay, play." And I thought, You've got to be joking. I mean, what could I play? I didn't have any other musicians with me. So I just started warming up, then Ozzy said, "Yeah, you're good." I had only played for a few seconds. Then I got kinda mad and thought, Well, you haven't even heard me yet! [BACK]
