Tichy and Sutton, in conjunction with Randy Rhoads' brother Kelle Rhoads, the Rhoads family, Bonzo Bash guitarist/former student of Randy's, Brent Woods, as well as one of Rhoads' dearest friends; rock bass legend Rudy Sarzo, came together to put on the ultimate tribute celebration in honor of one of the the most influential and brightest stars the world of rock guitar has ever seen; Randy Rhoads, the legendary guitarist who revived OZZY OSBOURNE's career with two iconic records! Sadly, Randy's future was cut short on March 19th, 1982 when he died in a plane crash. He was only 25 years old. His songwriting, solos, technique and tone on the albums Blizzard Of Ozz and Diary Of A Madman permanently placed him at the top of rock's most influential guitarists polls.

The idea to give Randy a night of honor came together within the hundreds of hours of Bonzo Bash preparation and phone conversations between Brian Tichy and Joe Sutton. The two would often talk about other musicians that had made a huge impact on them growing up. The name that would come up and excite them the most was always Randy Rhoads.

Sometime in 2013, Tichy threw this idea at Brent Woods, a student of Rhoads' from the pre-Ozzy era, when Randy was not only the most popular local guitarist at the time, but an extremely popular teacher at Musonia, his mother Delores Rhoads' (Dee) music school. Brent has stayed very close with the Rhoads family as well as producing Kelle's classical music. Brent ran this idea by Kelle Rhoads who had already been to a Bonzo Bash. Kelle expressed interest in this and soon after, Woods and Tichy met with Kelle at Musonia. After a tour of the school and hours of hanging, Kelle gave the show his blessing and preparation began!

Tichy contacted legendary bassist Rudy Sarzo; his friend and bandmate from the recent Geoff Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE tour they did together. Sarzo, bassist for QUIET RIOT, Ozzy Osbourne and WHITESNAKE, also gave his blessing and agreed to play bass alongside Tichy, making up the night's rhythm section! Sarzo, one of the few people that had so much history alongside Rhoads and watched this amazing talent take over the world of rock guitar first hand, said, "Randy Rhoads Remembered is a unique celebration of his compositions and trail blazing guitar techniques. I'm extremely honored and excited to be a part of this significant event honoring my dear friend and bandmate featuring his musical contributions with Ozzy Osbourne and rarely performed compositions from his Quiet Riot years."
