Quoted from vid1900:Randy Rhodes is one of those guitarists who probably sold his soul to the devil.
He was worse than an average garage guitarist on the Quiet Riot albums, then a few months later, he suddenly is one of the greatest guitar players on the planet.
Kinda echoes Robert Johnson. Terrible guitar player, comes back 6 months later playing amazing stuff that people struggle to figure out today...
Agreed!
I like the Quiet Riot stuff but not exactly "greatest guitar player" material....
I went to those crossroads but I had no such luck. So I just bought a souvenir and moved on.
