Almost everybody in the 80s was trying to mix classical with guitar, and 99% of the time it was a complete failure. Either
A) it was too light, and fluffly, and clean so it barely appealed convincing of the instrument.
or
B) The guitarist didn't have the skill to really pull it off, and it came off wrong.
Randy Rhoads was the closest thing to breaking both molds. His guitar work was heavy, and convincing. Yet, his skill was legit virtuoso. Someone may say he was not as technically achieved as somebody like Yngwie Malmsteen. But, I believe he's had an ear for songwriting consistency, and an infinitely superior tone.
Honestly, Randy Rhoads, in my eyes, is a well deserved legend. As he's achieved something that everyone was trying at the time, and very few actually succeeded to do.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
