Ozzy Osbourne Asked Big Name To Replace Randy Rhoads
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Michael Schenker revealed to the Eddie Trunk Podcast that he was asked by Ozzy Osbourne to replace Randy Rhodes.

“Yeah, in the middle of the night, when Randy Rhodes crashed and died, he called me up out of the blue straight afterward because they needed a guitarist. Randy was a No. 1 Michael Schenker fan, and he must have always talked to Ozzy about me.

When Ozzy was in that situation, which was a very terrible situation, and [keyboardist] Don Airey was actually in his band at the time, and he hooked me up in the middle of the night asking me, the No. 1 choice, to help, to carry on with the tour and learn all the songs.

But I was in the middle of [the third Michael Schenker album 1982’s] ‘Assault Attack,’ and [drummer] Cozy Powell said, ‘Michael, don’t do it, we’re in the middle of this now.’ What I’m trying to say is my commitment, my vision of my middle years, which fulfilled me, and doing all the experimental stuff that I couldn’t have done with UFO, Scorpions, or Deep Purple, I mean, you name them.

So many bands wanted me to join them, but I had to decline them all because I had a vision of getting this overflow of energy, of musical experiments, acoustic instrumentals, electric instrumentals – so much stuff.” Ultimate-Guitar transcribed his comments.
