A few months after he perished in a plane crash, I put together a cover story tribute on Randy Rhoads for Guitar Player magazine. Among those I interviewed were Ozzy Osbourne, Randy's mom and brother, bassist Rudy Sarzo, and Max Norman, who'd recently produced Ozzy's breakthrough Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman albums.

If you're interested in how Randy created his iconic guitar sound on Ozzy's debut albums, here's my just-posted transcription of the complete Max Norman interview:

Still have the issue. I've long cleaned out most of my guitar magazines but what few I have left are kept in sleeves and this is probably the best of the bunch.
 
Enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. It’s a shame he couldn’t remember more.
