A sad day for rock fans..
Randy Castillo who spent many years playing drums for Ozzy and most recently with Motley Crue has lost his battle with cancer.
Truly a huge loss for rock and roll... May you rest in peace Randy...  |

He's been around so long it seems as if he has played with every major act at some point either live or in studio. This Friggin cancer is gettin' everyone. Too bad it's not the political Juggernaught AIDS is.....

A sad day indeed. I remember the first time I heard him was with the 1980's band Stone Fury - great stuff!

That's really sad.
A lot of the metal guys have been dying of cancer. Dave Pritchard (Armored Saint), Eric Carr (Kiss), Chuck Schuldiner (Death). At least I think Chuck Billy (Testament) was doing well, last I heard. Last edited by Josh-da-man; 03-27-02 at 08:17 PM. |

Another dead metal man:
Paul Baloff, lead singer (at one time) for Exodus, the band that Kirk Hammet was a member of before Metallica. Apparently this guy died of a massive stroke. I just get this bizarre feeling that Ozzy will out live me...and I've got another 50 years on this planet at least.

A lot of times, it depends on the type of cancer and how far it progressed. Some people do recover fully and live to a ripe old age. Sometimes the treatment will buy a few more years before it comes back. |
