Was the bus driver also a pilot?

Yes. While stopped somewhere in Florida next to a small airport he "borrowed" someones plane and was taking it for a spin. Made a flight or two before RR and their makeup artist joined him. The pilot buzzed the bus twice before screwing up and clipping the top of the bus which ripped off the wing and sent them into a house. Ozzie, Sharon and most of the band were asleep on the bus when sit happened.

The doc I saw also stated they were buzzing the bus trying to wake up oz...just imagine the carriers & music from rr, Hendrix, almond & srv we would be blessed with if not for untimely deaths.

I agree with you bob...maybe just age / time in life but rr is way up there on my favorite axe swingers!! Overflowing talent

I stand corrected. Most accounts say they were asleep inside. My bad.

37 years ago today.
Lost his life dive-bombing the tour bus with his bus driver and hair dresser in a small aircraft, just being knuckleheads.
He was 25 years old.

Any good Ozzy stories out there?

I had Diary of a Madman on 8 track.

I had the 8 track also..

My story: I was coming back from bass fishing a local lake(early 80's)while jamming to this tape. I had my poles in the bed of the truck. One of them was a custom made pole. I was hauling butt(the music)and turned a corner way to fast and my trolling motor battery slid rapidly across the bed of my truck and crushed my poles against my fender well.. I remember it like it was yesterday...

He wrote this for his mom Delores. "Dee"

Awesome player and was headed back to UCLA to get his masters before the tragic crash. He was sober, the bus driver/pilot was not. Big loss. He changed modern rock by influencing Ozzy with more complex cord progression, key choices and complexity in Ozzy’s solo start.

Inspired thousands of young players. I listen to something he played almost everyday.

The whole Tribute album is probably one of the best live recordings ever.

Agreed, Randy's tone is awesome.

And Crazy Train has to be Ozzy's best love song.
