Yes, my favorite... I will commemorate him with some early Quiet Riot and Blizzard of Oz followed by Diary of a Madman... such a great player.

I had seen him with Ozzy in the 1980 Blizzard of Ozz tour. Got to be honest - I had never previously heard of him (I was unaware of Quiet Riot at that time). But everyone was talking about him after the gig. I used to see Ozzy fairly regularly in those days (at the pub of course) and he had talked about 'This brilliant guitarist' he was bringing over from The States. He certainly lived up to it. A terrible loss, and so crazy the way it happened.
