Ozzy Osbourne and Randy Rhoads were just hitting their stride when Randy was killed on this day in 1982. Though it's hard to believe it's been 31 years, Randy has not been forgotten. 

It was supposed to be all fun. A quick flight to take some aerial photos of the tour bus, turned horribly wrong when the plane accidentally clipped the bus and was hurled into a nearby mansion. The pilot, the bands hairdresser and one of the most most innovative guitarists in music history were all killed instantly.

Ozzy remembered Rhoads today by posting a picture of his pal on his Twitter page with the message, "I still miss you every day. Rest in peace my friend."

Others who remembered Rhoads on the poignant anniversary include Rage Against The Machine star Tom Morello, who posted a link to a magazine rundown of the guitarist's greatest riffs, adding, "On 31st anniv of Randy Rhoads' passing one magazine's idea of his greatest solos. Thanks Randy for such awesomeness."
