"Randy Rhoads" in the 'Hundred Heroes Column'Thank You notes of Slippery When Wet
Hi peeps, long time.
I was listening to Slippery When Wet the other day, and had a look over the cover and art work. Then noticed Randy Rhoads is being thanked in there - right in between two people called Melissa Snyder and Tom Cunningham. Now it could be a different Randy Rhoads or it could be THE Randy Rhoads. Anyone has any idea? Some other interesting entries: Switchbitch, Whipbitch El Mariachi - My Fren for the Mexican Milk Local 69 Canada's nest Stripper Union ...reference to Lema Moon Mary Toledo for Screaming Davey "the Snake" Heather Dirty Anjy on the telephone |
Randy died in 1982, so, uhm, him being thanked in the Slippery liner notes sure is weird. However, it's also a pretty striking name (especially if it's the very same spelling), so, who knows? Richie probably wasn't unfamiliar with his stuff after all.
Dave Sabo and Jon are childhood friends, so him being mentioned makes sense. |

This article (http://www.mmusicmag.com/features/V3...ptOct-2012.pdf) mentions Richie using "a JCM2000 and a JCM800 with Randy Rhoads heads". Was there Randy Rhoads signature gear out by the time they were doing Slippery?

Richie undoubtedly knew who Rhoads was, and maybe was influenced by him. But was that influence great enough to include him on the liner notes over other influences Richie has been far more vocal about over the years? |

Maybe one day someone can ask him or Jon? :-) |
