He auditioned again after Rhoads’ death three years later, this time to replace Brad Gillis, who had replaced Rhoads. “When [the first] two Ozzy solo records came out, I didn’t realize it was that same kid [Rhoads] on guitar,” Ranno says. This led him to reject an offer to join Ozzy’s band, which was served up on a silver platter in 1995, just before Extreme broke up. “I tried out that Buckethead guy,” Ozzy told Revolver in 2005.
