Listen to ‘Crazy Train’ From Upcoming Randy Rhoads Tribute Album
An all-star lineup featuring Bruce Kulick, Tom Morello, Vinny Appice, Tim "Ripper" Owens, Rudy Sarzo and George Lynch will remember one of rock's most memorable guitarists on the upcoming album 'Immortal Randy Rhoads: The Ultimate Tribute.'
You can listen to the album-opening version of 'Crazy Train,' courtesy of Rolling Stone and featuring Morello and Serj Tankian, above.
Due March 3, the project features new versions of 11 songs co-written by Rhoads -- including many, like 'Crazy Train, associated with his celebrated tenure alongside Ozzy Osbourne. Songs like 'Back to the Coast' and 'Killer Girls' reference Rhoads' earlier stint in Quiet Riot. Also featured are Gus G., Doug Aldrich, Dweezil Zappa and Bernie Torme. Grammy winner Bob Kulich (Bruce's older brother) worked as producer. The full track listing, with guest stars, is below.
An expanded version of the album will be paired with a bonus DVD that includes interviews with a number of the guests, hosted by Bob Kulick. A special feature focuses on Musonia School of Music in North Hollywood, founded by Rhoads' mother and overseen by his brother Kelle.
Rhoads joined Quiet Riot as a teenager before soaring to fame with Osbourne on a pair of his early '80s solo albums, 'Blizzard of Oz' and 'Diary of a Madman.' The guitarist died in a 1982 plane crash when he was just 25. (Sarzo, Torme and Gus G. have collaborated with Osbourne, as well.) Sarzo was also in Quiet Riot, while Appice and Aldrich worked with Osbourne's Black Sabbath successor Ronnie James Dio.
