Randy Castillo (December 18, 1950 – March 26, 2002) was best known as Ozzy Osbournes drummer during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, and later as drummer for Mötley Crüe, from 1999 to his death from cancer in 2002. In 1984, Randy was hired to play drums for Lita Ford and was featured on her Dancin On The Edge album. Lita introduced Randy to her boyfriend, Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx, and Nikki’s bandmate Tommy Lee. Shortly after the “Dancin’ on the Edge” tour, Tommy called Randy from a party he was at with Ozzy Osbourne and told him Ozzy was looking for a new drummer. Despite being unable to audition right away due to a broken leg he suffered while skiing, Randy was hired by Ozzy a couple months later and ended up staying with the Ozzy Osbourne band for ten years, recording five albums with Ozzy during that time. These were The Ultimate Sin (1986), No Rest for the Wicked (1988), an EP entitled Just Say Ozzy (1990), No More Tears (1991), and a double-disc live album, Live & Loud (1993). youtu.be/lMHnWr5940E
