Even though acclaimed heavy metal guitarist Randy Rhoads passed away over 30 years ago, his influence still resonates throughout the metal world today. He has gone done in music history as one of the greatest guitarists ever and now metal superstars are paying tribute to him in a big way. A new tribute LP entitled “Randy Rhoads Remembered, Vol 1,” is set for a Jan. 23 release, which is also the date of the second annual Randy Rhoads Remembered show in Santa Ana, CA. The disc, which has the approval of Rhoads’ family, features covers of Ozzy Osbourne tracks the late guitarist originally played on. Artists included on the LP are Sebastian Bach, Guns N’ Roses’ Bumblefoot, L.A. Guns’ Tracii Guns, Megadeth’s David Ellefson, and Korn’s Ray Luzier among others. The complete tracklist can be found below.
The album will be released via Tish Tone Records and was organized by veteran drummer Brian Tichy, who also put together the first Rhoads tribute show on Jan. 25, 2014. The disc is currently available for pre-order with several different editions for fans to choose from that include goodies like guitar picks, signed CDs, and even a drum lesson from Tichy.
