edjr 5,540 Posted March 13, 2023 (In the early 80s, we used to argue who was better. Prince or EVH) To leave Prince off is embarrassing Prince Eddie Van Halen Steve Vai Vitto Bratta (one of the most underrated of all time) https://spinditty.com/industry/Underrated-Guitarists-of-the-80s 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warren DeMartini (RATT) Jake E Lee Yngwie Malmsteen Kirk Hammet Dave Murry and Adrian Smith Glen Tipton and KK Downing You know whitch one that hasn't been mentioned yet that SCREAMS 80's metal to me?

kutulu 1,541 Posted March 15, 2023 A lot of people around Randy thought he would have moved on to different types of musically endeavors beyond heavy metal and shredding, no way to know but that's what I've read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have read the same ... Jazz/Fusion or something like that. Who wouldn't with the Jazz/Fusion babes ... I also read a blurb ... maybe from Ozzy ... about the stuff Randy was working on leading up to the 3rd 'Blizzard' album and how it was sort of trendsetting ... A royal bummer he left early Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
