Randy Rhoads Vs Eddie Van Halen
admin 
Another epic battle here. Randy Rhoads burst onto the scene as the axeman for Ozzy Osbourne, after trying out while as a member of Quiet Riot. Eddie as we all know, comes from the band after his surname, Van Halen.
Both brought the shred style into vogue, making it the absolute way to get known during the late 70′s and early 80′s. Where Eddie had the luck of using the Floyd Rose to introduce the dive bombs to the world, Randy’s classical style blended with his precision speed picking demonstrated only parts of how far these two guitarists could go.
For my money, I’d take Rhoads…
Eddie
Randy
