My heart and prayers go out to family and friends.

I've seen Randy perform with Ozzy a few times, he was a real inventive drummer. I'm sad to see that artist of his caliber pass away. My prayers to his family and friend for their loss.

You know you are getting older when your hero's start to die. Gonna miss ya Randy

When we were on tour in 1996 we played in new mexico and had the thrill of meeting randy at the club we were playing. he was so cool and signed Joe's snaredrum head for him and we talked all about stuff. It was so cool of him - he was so friendly and everyone seemed to jock him hard. We talked about it the rest of the tour. like every day. Here's to Randy - Coolness is never forgotten. Matt Disassociate

Thanx 4 havin' given us Powerful and Unforgettable RnR groovez: We will NEVER NEVER forget Ya,Randy. Rest in Peace,Bud!

DAMN i cannot believe Randy is gone.... it seems that cancer took one other great skin basher Eric Carr and it's quite heartbreaking knowing that i'm a drummer and i wonder if i share that same fate..... I remember when Randy first joined Ozzy back in '86 and i saw the video for "The Ulitmate Sin" and i was hooked.then i had the pleasure of seeing Randy live in person on Ozzy's Retirement Sucks tour in '95 and he looked great and beat the hell outta those drums. Randy you are truly gonna be missed not only as a drummer but an inspration to millions of other drummers besides myself................ Thanks for the memories Randy Love, Jeremiah

Thanks for contributing to leading the way!

I first saw Randy in '87 with Ozzy. Blew me away...loved how he came out in front of his kit during his solo. Thanks for being an influence. May you rest in peace.

Keep on rockin' on the other side, Randy, we'll miss you.

you will be missed.

R.I.P. My Brother.

I fell in love with your drumming in the Ozzy days. You also kicked ass in Motley! You will be missed :( RIP Randy

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I had the pleasure of meeting Randy at the Ozzy shows in Hawaii several years ago. He was so funny and full of this energy that was contagious electricty. My heart and prayers go out to his family and the rock community at large. His contributions are historical and greatly appreciated. God Bless you all.

I was deeply saddened by the news of Randy's passing. He will not have to suffer ever again. He was an awesome drummer to me and he left an indelible impression upon me. When I first met him I knew he was a top rate musician and a all around nice person. Your memeory will last lifetimes Tim

To Randy, A drummer myself, I was curious to see the man who replaced Tommy Lee, to see if his chops matched up. Well, simply put, they did. Easily. Also, they were his own stamp/style added to the licks we were accustomed to as Crue fans. Rest in peace brother. All music fans, drummers or not, will miss you. My best to your family and MANY friends...

R.I.P. ("Rock In Peace") Randy you will be missed

Randy: I learned of your passing yesterday on zakkwylde.com. It caught me completely off guard and I've been saddened by it since. I was always hoping you Zakk and Mike Inez would work together again. Alas, it seems that will never happen though. Randy you left an amazing body of work that will be around for many years to come and you will continue to live on in the hearts of your fans. You will be greatly missed and my condolences to your sisters and mother. God bless you man. RIP Much Love, Crash

Randy.... Your off to a beautiful place now ! "Angels are friends who pick us up when our wings forget how to Fly"! Randy is truely an Angel! !!!

I was shocked to here Randy had passed,he was one of the reasons i started playing drums .my heart goes out to his family .You will be greatly missed by all . tony

you rocked and you will certainly be missed!!!

A great influence to me and my drumming capabilities. I always loved your purple hair.

Randy gave us some phenomenal music in his time. I am saddened by the fact that I will now never have the chance to meet him, but I rejoice in the music he has left behind. In the end, we are all that we leave behind and Randy has left many, many good stories and feelings with us. Celebrate him and keep his soul alive.

RIP Big Guy, You Will Be Greatly Missed God Bless

It's always sad when someone passes on. But to be taken from this earth, because of the despicable virus known as cancer, is a crime. God bless, Randy. May your eternal peace free you from any pain you suffered.

Just finished track 4, disc 2 of "Live And Loud". Great drummer, greatly missed.

Randy was one the most solid, tightest, and most creative drummers around! You will be missed. Rest easy Randy!

The Calling, Money comes and money goes Time does the same, only true friendships stay the same, in life or in death, Time passes and time also goes like money, but we need to stay gold, to our friendships, new and old, Death is a part of life, only memories keep friends alive, They now are in a better place, but it's ok, cause we all will be there some day. Bickering and fighting will always be, but discussions when we meet, again, Death use to make me sad, but now I understand that they were "Called" to play music for a different audience. Or make another audience smile, laugh, or anything else that may be needed there. When another person is lost think about how good they were, that they got "Called."

My prayers and condolences go out to Randy's family and friends. RIP Randy, you will be missed!

You were one of the best, solid, and creative drummers that ever was! Rest easy Randy!

From all of us in Buzz Factor, you will truly be missed. A huge inspiration to many indeed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Buzz Factor.

RIP

Death sucks...all my prayers go out to his family.

Randy was one of the nicest and most dearest people in the music business. He will be missed dearly!!

God Bless you Randy. I had the privilege to tour with Randy. Always a smile on his face. You will be missed. Heaven has a new drummer.

Got to meet ya randy on the ultimate sin tour and you are a great guy.Hope you are in a better place jammin with all of the other greats we have lost..It was a pleasure to have known you.

Rest In Peace Randy, and thank you for the music that you have contributed. We'll see you on the other side, absolutely.

all my wishes for strength go to randy's family. and all my hope to randy that he feels no more pain now, wherever he is.

randy was one of the first drummers that got me into rock music. i owe a big thank you to him.

In the world of METAL We will miss a very talented drummer. A drummer that can out drum any-one. I first heard Randy on ozzy's ultimate sin album and all I have to say Damn this guy is good. I hope he lingers on with the ozz and he did. He will surely be missed..... R.I.P dave

Simply stated - Randy Castillo - A great human being and a great muscian who brought joy and happiness through his drumming to more fans across the world then he will ever know. God Bless

Randy will live on forever through his music. An amazing contribution to the world, I believe the best. Music brings joy and comfort to many. Enriching people's lives since the dawn of time... even mentioned in the bible as the almighty God loves music too. Randy was more than a musician, an artists in every sense... It's not everyone that can make their heart and soul a tangible gift to the world. Thank you Randy, you are loved "heart and soul". The beat goes on... and on, loud and strong for eternity.

I will never forget the first time that I heard the "Ultimate Sin" album.What a great drummer.What a great loss...R.I.P. Randy

I'm truly shoocked and saddened after reading the post that Randy had past on. I just want to say thanks for all that his drumming has taught me. That Star Licks video he did back in 86 helped me a lot. Thanks Randy we love you and will miss you R.I.P.

Randy was not only a great drummer, he was original. No one does what Randy did because they just don't have his style. The music world will never be the same without him. God Bless you Randy; you will be sorely missed.

...I am shocked...one of my favourite musician and a good man has gone...may you keep on rocking wherever you are now! R.I.P.

randy was one of the last true greats of drumming....his influence and ispiration to the world will be missed RIP

On behalf of all the CAGE band members and our management company DESERT ROCK PROMOTIONS, we wish to send our condolences to Randy Castillo's family and friends. Rock on brother!!!

Randy, you were a true talent. You will be greatly missed by millions of fans who hear the sound of your drums everyday, be it with Ozzy, Motley, etc. RIP.

Randy was one of the coolest people you caould ever hope to meet in the music business! He was REAL! We will ALL miss him greatly!

man....life seems so long until we get snuffed out. then it seems its not long enough. but they are one in the same. randy has gone where he came from. rest well brother!

I was greatly saddened when I heard the news of Randy's passing. May I say that Randy was one of the kindest humans I ever met. He took time out of his busy schedule on the "No More Tours" Ozzy tour. To talk to me....just an average fan. I know he'll be missed by all. We all loved him. And we'll all miss him. If I may steal a line from Ozzy "I'll see you on the otherside"....but until then, we'll all miss you. My thoughts and prayers are with Randy's family.

Randy, You were one of the first, and still my favorite, to influence me. Since then, and still now, your music makes my hairs stand on end. And that's a good thing! God Bless Your Soul.

Thanks for making some great music over the years and helping to add so much more to every band you played in. You will be missed. Rock on and Rest In Peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Randy. You are a hometown hero of mine. Everytime I heard that Ozzy or the Crue were coming through Albuquerque I couldn't wait to go and be blown away by one of the greatest drummers in rock history. You will be missed.

Randy, Your music was an inspiration to rock-and-roll musicians the world over. You will be deeply missed. "No More Tears," Chris Comarato

Randy you shall forever remain in our hearts as one of the best drummers in the world...Your strength and courage should be an inspiration to us all...Heaven just got a little louder...Your family, friends and loved ones shall be in our thoughts and prayers... Rest In Peace Randy...

randy was an inspiration and a great drummer to all who followed ozzy and the crue. thank you randy for giving us your beautiful music WE LOVE YOU ryan lipareli-Rust

Keep the beat alive in heaven Randy. God bless.

Randy was a talented drummer who will be dearly missed by his fans. He left this world too young and he suffered needlessly. His family and firends are in my thoughts and prayers.

Randy was a great, I and all other sdmfs feel much sorrow at this time. A great man and musician has left us. God bless you brother.

Randy was always our hometown hero from Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was so cool knowing that the drummer for OZZY and then Motley Crue was from Albuquerque. Our condolences go out to Randy's mother and sisters. Our prayers will be with them. Goodbye Randy, your memory will live on forever.

A truly great loss, but he will still live through the great music he provided for us...I had seen with Ozzy and have many shows with him playing, he still has one of the best drum solos I ahd ever seen to this day!RIP Randy

To Randy, You will be missed, I seen you play twice with ozzy and was blown away both times. You were probably one of the most talented drummer's I have ever seen live. ( I have played for about 12 years) You were truly Ozzy's drummer. Your style always fit Ozzy's music perfectly. Cancer has taken too many people in this world and each time it's always someone you know or are close to. We will miss you. Have fun in the great gig in the sky. The Freak

Met Randy in 99 at a Motley rehersal. What a Great Human Being!! The world was a better place with Randy, He will be missed! RIP

To the family and friends of Randy, my deepest condolences. I agree we are all here for you. Please take care

Randy, I never met you personally, but I listened to the Ozzy records on which you played. You were the real Ozzy drummer, I will never forget you, rest in peace!! Your true fan Kolja!!

God Speed Randy. You'll be greatly missed...

R.I.P. Randy, you'll be missed. The music industry has lost a great person and musician.

Well I really cant believe this Randy you will be missed absolutely the best drummer ever period.i saw you jam with Ozzy ,and the Crue wish i could have met you..To his family and friends keep your head up he is in a better place now.he may be gone but NEVER forgotten... Chris

2002 has claimed several metal legends - and for me, this is the most tragic so far. Rest in peace, Randy.

from your hometown fans/friends here in albuquerque...we love ya man, and hope you found your pop. valle con dios hombre, and may he rest your soul

Never fails that you get one asshole in the bunch... Cletus... keep jokin' cause you're probably next fuck-stain. Randy was an amazing person. I remember hearing Sam Kinison talking to the old morning show in Las Vegas at KOMP... Lark and the Byrd. Lark asked Sammy "Who's your favorite drummer?". Sammy said for theatrics... Tommy Lee. For straight up balls to the wall metal... Randy Castillo hands down. Shortly after that, Sam Kinison was killed in a car accident. Well, now they get to jam together! Death is sad and tragic, but life goes on and we must celebrate everyday because you never know when your number is up. Earth is just a temporary place for us all.

Shine on dude....

Dear Randy! March 26`th 2002 will allways be a date that i`ll look back on with a heavy heart!. This is the date when rock`n roll lost one of the GRETEST drummers and insperators that has ever walked this planet. For me as a drummer Randy has allways been and allways will be a huge inperation. It realy hurts to know that he`s gone, and that we`re never gonna get the pleasure of listening to Randy killing those drumms ever again... My codolences goes out to Randy`s family and friends!. You`ll allways be with me when i hit the stage, GOD BLESS YOU RANDY! Rest in peace! Tord.

Randy will truly be missed. I am a guitar player, but attended a drum clinic that Randy did some years ago in North Wales Pa. He was super cool, and took the time to chat with me. My prayers and respect go out to his family.

"If there's a rock 'n roll heaven, you know they've got a hell of a band..." That band just added a hell of a drummer. RIP Randy...

Randy was the reason I continued to play drums. Through listening and watching him play, he gave me the passion and the desire that enabled me to be the best I could be when playing. I had the pleasure in meeting Randy once and he was nothing short of generous, gracious, kind, and funny as hell. God Bless You Randy, Hit em hard in heaven. See you one day.

Randy, Much love to your family and friends. May you Rest in Peace. For one day we will see eachother on the other side and we will beat the drums agin. You will be very much missed.

I saw Randy in abut 92' with Ozzy -- What an incredible performer and he was always smiling and truly enjoying being on stage -- a truly gifted musician & human being. Some of the most original and incredible drumming we will ever hear. My favorite is probably "Breaking All the Rules" on 'No Rest for the Wicked". Love & Prayers to All -- God Bless you Randy

Hi, You will always be Hero for all us Metal Fans. RIP...

Goodbye Randy. Much too young and talented, you will be missed

Randy was a great musician. He will be forever missed. Rest in peace. My heart goes out to his family.

Cletus: go fuck yourself asshole

here is John Bonham, Cozy Powell and Eric Carr, pleased to welcome such a great drummer finally among us! Randy, rest in peace.

I never met Randy in person, but did get to see him with the Crue. WOW, what a drummer, great musician, and a great person. You will be missed.. RIP !!!

Saw Randy twice... once with Ozzy in '86, again with the Crue. What a great performer. One of my favorite drummers of all time. Sorry I never met him, I'm sure he was a great guy. I will miss you Randy and I pray for your family and friends who feel the loss much heavier than I do...

So sad it is to know that a great drummer and person is not with us. I really don't know what is happening, but it seems that all my childhood music heroes are getting sick or dying. Chuck Schuldiner, Paul Baloff, Randy Castillo dead and Chuck Billy or James Murphy with cancer. What is going?

God Bless Randy's friends, family and loved ones. We are all praying for each of them. Heaven is having a party right now because you know he's up there banging the heck out of a massive drum kit and smiling down on us all!

Thank You Randy for all the great years of ROCK-N-ROLL, You were and always will be one of the GREATEST!!!!!! R.I.P Bro will miss ya!!

I didn't know you personally Randy, but I liked what you did and I thought you seemed like the kind of friend everyone should have! I will miss you...

Goodbye to one the most entertaining and skilled drummers ever. May GOD rest your soul, and ease your family's hearts, knowing you touched everyone with your playing and personality. See you again, someday...

God bless you Randy, and thank you for the groove...

My thoughts are with Randy's family. I got to see Randy twice live, once with Ozzy and once with the Crue and enjoyed both shows so much. He will be missed. RIP Randy.

RIP Randy, We'll see you up there. You're in great company. You will be dearly missed

R.I.P. ; my condolences to the family and friends. I never met Randy personally, but everything I've heard and read sounds like he was a wonderful person. The music world will miss him greatly.

It's a sad, sad day indeed. Thanks for all the incredible music man. It goes without saying that you will be sorely missed. R.I.P. Randy.

I was fortunate enough to meet Randy a couple of times, and there was no finer gentleman on the planet, his playing and spirit will be missed! RIP Randy!

I shocked and saddened by the death of randy. He was one of my first Drumming influences. my father took me too see ozzy on the ultimate sin tour I was in 4th grade at the time. I Got too meet randy 3 years later at a clinic he was doing. He was really nice. I had my picture taken with him and I still have it. I had hoped too meet him again but I guess all I have left is my picture and the tunes. a friend of mine had just told me about it yesterday and my jaw hit the floor. I took this a little hard I guess because of how he died and because of the fact that I could say that I met him. I can just see it now up in heaven Randy R and Randy C lookin too get some band going and god saying I don't think so you guys are too LOUD. (tries too smile). Thanks Randy For that Picture with me. May the lord Be with you.

What can I say brother, you will be missed.

YOU WERE AWESOME RANDY. YOUR DRUMMING WITH OZZY & MOTLEY CRUE WAS AMAZING. RIP RANDY.

R.I.P RANDY CASTILLO from Japan.

Randy, you were one of my favorite drummers ever. I was actually listening to your amazing playing on the day of your passing, before I had any idea of the tragic news. You will definatly be missed. Rest In Peace (except for those occasions where you wanna bang those drums and disturb the peace :)

R.I.P. Randy. You will truly be remembered as one of the great rock drummers of your era.

RIP Randy, You will be greatly missed.

Randy, I will miss you greatly. you made some wonderful music in your life and it will be missed

I did not know you personally in life...but that has not stopped the emptiness that i feel at your passing. My prayers are with your family & friends & from all of us here at Zakk-Wylde.Net May U ROCK in HEAVEN 4 EVER...Tell all those rockers up there with you...ONE AWESOME LINE UP going on right now :(:(:( shame it had to be like this though.

I had the honor and privilege of seeing Randy on his final tour with the Crue. The man was a helluva drummer, and seemed like a helluva guy. Another sad loss for the rock community. R.I.P. Randy. As Ozzy said - "see you on the other side."

Addio grande Randy!

randy...thankyou. i hope that you've now found peace.

Thanks Randy for a great time with you. You are the greatest! I love you.

Condolences to Randy's Mom and Sisters,it is always sad to hear of someone passing away but when it is a fellow musician,particularly one who's career I've followed it hurts a little bit more.We'll miss you dude,you will always be one of the greats!

Sorry to here this unfortunate news of great personality in life. My heart goes out to the family of RANDY CASTILLO

I was checking out Metal-sludge.com when I disovered the tragic news: Randy is dead? From a drummer to adrummer, you will always be missed, forever. May you drum in heaven

May God Bless your family in this time of mourning and may you be in peace and remembered by all. Your memory will live in all of us

a true drum master has left us - the millions inspired - saddened beyond words. we miss you endlessly.

Non ci sono parole.... forse una sola... Grazie!!!

Can´t believe it!!! Rest In Peace!!!

You will be missed you crazy man!

Randy.. Rest In Peace... .. what more can be said. dude.. YOU ROCK.

May your spirit live on......

Rest in Peace Randy; you will be missed. I honoroed you with some Motley crue/ Ozzy tunes tonight on my radio show. I just found out the news a couple of minutes prior to my shift. It's a sad day in the music world.

Randy played at the first OZZY show I ever saw and it's hard to believe, but he had mroe of my attention than Ozzy did. He's one of the greats because everybody called him up when they needed a bad ass drummer. Later Days Randy....

i 've met randy several times, shared drinks,knew him back the "ozzy" days, he was so cool, always took the time to meet w/ fans..he never acted like a " rock star".. a couple of summers back when the crue hit denver, i was backstaqge w/ my son, he came over signed autographes & took pics w/ me, my son & nikki.. i iwll never forget that..i shared drinks @ the rainbow as well.. w/ him.. he will be missed, god bless him!!

R.I.P. Randy! See you in Rock´n Roll-Heaven

I'm just so depressed...I can't find the right words to express my feelings... Randy was a hero of mine and he'll always be. I miss you bro. R.I.P.

Randy, thanks for the awesome drum chops over the years, man. Have a drink on me, cheers.

In 95 I quit my band I was in on Priority records called Engines Of Aggression. I wanted to do something more interesting and emotional. Randy got a tape of our songs and loved them. He wanted to come down to jam. The band was called Womb. Randy came in set up his kit with his drum tech and sat down behind them. He was totally cool and friendly. We fired up the first song, and I have to say that he was the most solid drummer I had ever played with. He knew our tape back and front after only having it for like a day or so, and he made us sound incredible. I still remember it fondly. Sadly, I was outvoted by my band who wanted another drummer. I couldn't believe they would want anyone else, but I think there were some concerns that he wouldn't stay with us for long because we weren't signed yet. I had a drink with him after the session. I never saw him again, but I'll never forget his amzing drummer and indian like spiritual presence. Rik Schaffer

From a fellow drummer...may you rock on through Heaven's door with a mighty roar of your thunderous double bass pounding ! Rest in peace Bro !

R.I.P. Randy, we miss you very much. Hats off to a great musician and a beautiful guy. The Motley family will always remember you. See you in heaven to have that drink together...

Why do bad things happen to good people? I need another beer. cheers my friend.

This is a huge blow for rock and roll. Randy was always happy and positive, living life to the fullest & rocking hard around the world. We love you Randy and we miss you. You will live on forever in our hearts.

Randy, I never got to see you in concert, but I know that when I reach the heavens you will be there jammin with all the best...love you Bro...ciao for now

Well I was pretty shocked to hear the news.I met Randy when he was playing for Vince Neil and Vince was a total ass but Randy and Robbie Crane were really cool and we talked for about an hour up til they had to take the stage.Randy you were great,thanks for the years of good music and being a nice guy to a fan.RIP.

Randy is what rock and roll is all about for me. Hard rock has gotten twisted in all directions over the years but you could always count on Randy to lay it down hard and heavy. A true rocker in every good sense. This is sad, indeed, but at the same time I'm very glad I have all my Ozzy, Lita, Motley, etc. CD's to enjoy forever. I'll NEVER forget you Randy. Thanks for being yourself.

Ozzy would never have been the same w/o you. Enjoy your new life in a land all of us can only dream about. We'll miss you til then.

RIP RANDY, YOU ARE ONE OF THE GREATS. SAW YOU WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD WITH OZZY, NOW I AM 25. HEARTBROKEN. TELL RANDY RHODES AND ERIC CARR HI. LOVE YA MIKE FELTNER

What a loss in so many ways. Randy was a tremendous musician & an exceptional person. He'll be missed & eternally loved.

We'll miss you Randy! Rock never stops.

Good-bye Randy......

I am so sorry to hear of Randys passing. He will be terribly missed by all.

Ohhh Shit.... My favorite Drummer leaves the world. Thanks for your good drummin and your great music by Crüe and Ozzy. R.I.P Randy....we miss you Mark from Germany

Randy, you brought alot of joy and happiness while you were with us and we hate to see you go, but ya know what? You did good bro. You will be missed and forever remembered. R.I.P.

See you on the other side, Randy.. you will be missed. ~Bree

Thanx for the music.We will miss you. RIP

Randy Castillo is my all time favorite drummer. I am from Albuquerque and from all of us here. Randy you have been a great role model to say there is a chance us too can make it. God bless you

This was a total suprise for me. I didn't know Randy was sick. It saddens me that we have lost annother of our great musicians... specially to cancer. I wish his family the best through this hard time. Our thoughts are with them.

What a sad day it was today. He will be missed. i will never forget about him. I remember as a young kid in junior high seeing footage of the Ulitmate Sin concert. I remember randys drum solo. He kicked soo much ass. i followed randys career closely after that. I am bummed i never got the chance to meet him at all. When my time is up, i will for sure!!! God Bless You Randy!!

What can you say? A kick ass drummer who seemed very down to earth and rocked with the best. R.I.P.

Randy, you were and inspiration to my life and helped me and my friends make good memories while listening to you play the drums. You will be greatly missed!

Randy was playing drums for Ozzy in March 1984 & Motley Crue opened up, that night alone changed my entire life musically. I once stood on the side of the stage in Phx. (Ozzy/Anthrax tour) & watched his drum solo from a few feet away years later. I remember him smiling at me with taped up knuckles & sweat pouring off him. And I thought this guy is pounding these cans like a fucking monster & he's so relaxed doing it. Most guys look like they're on a bike with no brakes during a drum solo. Randy was a total natural rythmic monster. I also remember looking off the stage & seeing Randy with James Kottack & Nadir Priest during a TUFF video shoot for a pay per view special called "Heavy Metal thunder & Mud." Oddly enough I also moved Randy (and his furniture) from his Hollywood apartment into a house in Studio City when I worked for a moving company. When I got to the door, he looked at me and said "hey, do I know..." as I butted in..."Hey Randy, yeah it's me, where do you want the couch." (both of us laughing). Lastly, I saw Randy a few times a couple years back at The Joint in L.A. with Mike Inez & we rapped for a few short moments, just a hello & what are you doing stuff. Little did I know those few moments spanning nearly 2 decades would be typed here today for obvious reasons. Randy fucking ruled & was a super kind person too. RIP, Stevie

Takes a very accomplished musicain to fill the shoes of BIll Ward - Tommy Aldridge and Tommy Lee in one lifetime..and Make his own mark too! RIP - When I listen to NO More Tears -I know that "Zombie Stomp" is your drummin ;)

R.I.P Randy you were a inspiration to many, God Bless You fellow CrueHead

Goodbye Randy.

Randy was a great guy. I went with him to Albuquerque at the end of the "No More Tours" tour about 10 years ago. JR - if you see this, email me.

...another fallen hero...you will be missed but not forgotten, Randy. R.I.P.

3,28 santiago, chile. randy: gracias por todo lo que entregaste como baterista, y gracias por que aprendi mucho de ti puesto que tambien soy baterista. gracias maestro.

well, i never seen randy live, only on ozzy's live videos, but he did make a big impact on me, with his drumming skills on no more tears, and ozzmosis, not to mention early ozzy albums, and motley crue's new tattoo. it's a shame to see a person like him go, i was shocked to see the news on knac, but i'm happy to have grown up on his contribution to heavy metal, ozzy and motley have save me from depression so many times, and to know that randy, save me by saving them, is a real human thing to do, thank you randy for your inspiration, and your gift, my prayers and love go out to you and your love ones, long live rock and roll, and long live heavy metal, may god be with you, rest in peace, my inspiration, your fan from the navajo reservation. alcindor lew tsosie.

GOD BLESS....SEE YOU SOON NIKKI

simply put a great drummer and even a greater person rip randy

When I was playing in Zoe Bonham's band around the L.A. area I met Randy thru friends of Zoe's and his band Azul played her engagement party at the Joint on Pico. Randy was such a nice and generous person. He didn't know me from squat but that didn't matter to him, any friend or bandmate of Zoe's was a friend of his. He let me use his drumkit that night to play w/ Zoe and her Aunt Debbie. Wow. Although our paths only crossed a few times I must say it was a pleasure knowing Randy and He was a great comrad. R.I.P. friend.

It sad to hear of his passing. One of his last works on New Tattoo was amazing. RIP

Randy, I'll see you at the Memory Motel....I know you knew that's what I'd say...

i would like to send my thoughts and prayers to the CASTILLO family ,randy was an awesome guy and great drummer and his beats will live on forever.see you on the other side randy! darron

Well another metal god lost in the many hearts of all of up fans. Chuck Shuldiner, Paul Baloff, now RC...damn this is a sad year for metal musicians... :(

As Ozzy being my favourite, rock band, I will always miss the beats created by Randy, and also will miss his trademark twirls with his drumsticks. Me being a guitarist, knows how tough it is to find a good drummer, you will always be remembered, and will always hold a great piece in Rock history sincerely Kevin Fobert 17

Me being a guitar player, I don't know much about great drummers, but Randy I did notice. When I read about Randy's passing, it did me a great deal of pain. I was really hoping to hear him start playing again with some other band soon. I just hope that Randy knows that a lot of people care about you and miss you. I know I will. Rock n' Roll forever.

The world has lost a great freind and an unremarkable human being! LOve Clyv

Randy, you will sorely be missed ... not just by me, but by the millions of people who enjoyed your drumming for ozzy for all those years ... AND personally by me for being such a cool person ... i will never forget the comedy of our trip up north to play san jose/santa clara, san francisco and fresno ... one of the few things from the early 90's that i actually still remember quite well ... R.I.P. brother ... may your spirit live forever, as you have given us something that can never be taken away ...

Randy...your smile will always be in my heart bro.. I miss you so much and cant wait to see you again!!!

This book is for those to post in Memory of Randy Castillo
