“I can’t say enough good things about Randy and the influence he had on me, especially when it came to orchestrating. The classical vibe he had was incredible. I loved Randy’s brittle sound and his awesome ability to double his leads. There’s no telling what that cat would be busting off if he was still around. He was a monster player and his guitar work on 'Blizzard of Ozz' and 'Diary of a Madman' was definitely one step above anything else going on at that time. To me, Eddie Van Halen was heavy rock ‘n’ roll, but Randy was heavy metal.” Dimebag Darrell - Pantera, Damageplan
