Randy Castillo is a drummer that’s relatively little known to European drum manics, although every hard rock fan has heard his performances on Ozzy Osbourne’s “No More Tears” album. He collaborated with the legendary singer for almost 20 years and recorded 5 albums with him. In 1999, Castillo replaced Tommy Lee in Mötley Crüe, he also played with Lita Ford and Vince Neil. He passed away in 2002 due to cancer.
