PROFILE; The late Randy Rhoads formed these metalblasters before leaving to join Ozzy’s band. Rumor has it that the boys were more popular in L.A. than Van Halen at one point, and just when it looked like they would be signed—the Knack craze took L.A. by storm, skinny ties and all! But good things come to those who wait, and the froys are now the first heavy metal act since Led Zep to top tfre charts with a debut LP!

BEER: Boy Howdy!
