    I was fortunate to have seen the Wumblies in some bar when I was a truck driver back in the day. Fantastic band! Never encountered them in future travels but a great band and friendly group of guys. As a guitarist/drummer I admire his skills and attitude. A man with integrity it seems. Honorable.
    I just turned 75 but maybe he will still teach me to spin my sticks (?) …

    I can't believe this showed up this morning!!! I was always a huge fan of his and love the Red Square Black EP as well as all of the other stuff he's played on but I had no idea on the scope of his legacy! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this doc!

    I loved Randy Castillo in the 1980s. That's my style of heavy metal drumming always will be. And then he has to go and die. He should be around and enjoying his career all these years. I'm glad he's not forgotten. I still think about him all the time I'm not sure why . He had that effect on fans

    As a drummer, I always had difficulty covering Randy’s work with Ozzie. Much more so than Aldridge’s or Ward’s or any of the other greats that backed Osborne. Randy just had a unique way with time signatures, accents, crashes, and fills …maybe my Cherokee blood no jive with Apache!.?

    18:54 WRONG!!!!! WRONG!! Randy played only some on Dancin on the Edge. Dancin was recorded in my city Philadelphia on Delaware Ave right outside of center city. There were studios there that Bon Jovi and Cinderella made famous. Now this is very upsetting to me because to know one of my 2 heroes is Lita (other Paul Stanley) She was 20 mins from my house and I had no idea. So YES if you look at the band photos Randy is there. However, most of the drums on that album was done by ERIC SINGER. However, he and Lita were 2 different people and they didn't get along personally. Her and Randy had much more in common. Look at the liner notes Eric Singer is listed as well. Outside of KISS records, Dancin is top 5 that shaped my life. So EDDIE SKUNK WAS WRONG and Lita may as well just say Randy because her an Eric just didn't get along

    APACHE NATION!! Also. Randy supported the Trans Community/LGBTQ community. This lifer Transwoman Metalhead and Native American Tribes supportor will always be thankful for him. The ONLY reason I supported Ozzy after Jake was let go was because of Randy. Also, his album with Motley was great as well..much better overall album than anything on Feelgood after the title track.
