Randy Rhoads
December 6, 1956 – March 19, 1982
Randy Rhoads co-founded Quiet Riot in 1973 while still a teenager, quickly earning a reputation for his precise guitar playing and melodic approach to hard rock. In 1979, he joined Ozzy Osbourne's new solo band, where his blend of classical influences and powerful riffs helped redefine heavy metal guitar.
Rhoads appeared on the landmark albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, co-writing many of the songs that became cornerstones of Osbourne's solo career. Although his recording career was cut tragically short, his innovative playing, disciplined technique, and lasting influence continue to inspire generations of guitarists.

Jeff Grob
December 6, 1950
Jeff Grob joined Looking Glass in 1970, completing the lineup that recorded the band's best-known material. Playing drums, he provided the rhythmic foundation for the group's blend of pop, rock, and soft rock on recordings including Looking Glass, which featured the chart-topping hit "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)."
After Looking Glass disbanded in the mid-1970s, Grob recorded under the name Joe Dube as a member of Starz, appearing on several of the band's albums before stepping away from the national spotlight. He has since participated in interviews and projects celebrating Looking Glass and its music.
