You don't analyze Randy Rhoads. You just witness greatness.
That was just so well said.
🕯️🛤️🎸👑💖 I wish he was still alive today , the music he would have created . Can you imagine ? ✨
Phil from wings of pegasus has got greatness in him too! :) He learning me Rory tracs!!
You got that right
@@joachimdahl233 he was one of the greats sad not enough people know about him nowadays
Nothing compares to Randy, even now in 2022. RIP Randy, miss your playing….still.
This man is an absolute legend if not for his unfortunate passing i guarantee he would have become the greatest guitarist in all of history
You maybe right
He already is
@@ShawnGislerI agree 10,000%
He is already the greatest ever. But I still think...if only.
You know…when my fiancé passed. Randy’s niece whom he never met. (Kathy’s daughter, Jenna)reached out to me on Fb and sent a very nice message to me. Knowing how much her uncle meant to me. As his (no 1) fan :p
It meant a lot. I have been attempting to play his music since I was 14 I’m now 30. I also knew that her family had to deal with Randy’s death. As a guitarist dealing with grief. it felt like Randy’s soul, through his family member, was consoling me in Lauren’s passing.
What great people they were. I always wanted to play Dee for Delores whom Randy wrote the song for, but never got that chance.
That story of Randy seeking out guitar teachers in any town they went is the earliest memory I have of him. It just highlights his humility. Awesome!
Randy was a tiny little dude that became 7 feet tall as soon as he strapped on a guitar. Truly amazing.
It would suck being a guitar teacher and Randy Rhodes shows up for a lesson.
...and the student becomes the teacher.
LOL you be like Oh Shit! lol
Wanna know what's funny. He would do exactly that. While on tour, at every stop Randy would find the best classical guitar instructor and have him come to his hotel room to give Randy a lesson. That's no joke. He also told Ozzy that he was going to quit after his last tour. He wanted to be a Professor in Classical guitar. Oh, and Randy was bangin' Sharon. It was before her and Ozzy got together.
What really sucked was being a student next to randy. He was at a very prestigious classical music school and randy and this one other dude(forgot his name obviously). They were neck and neck so to speak they both new only one hit it big for some reason but when randy auditioned for ozzy, ozzy said it was like god coming into his life when he heard randy play...
Meanwhile Randy took lessons all over the world.
Hello Fil. I enjoyed your commentary on this. I would just like to say that I was a cameraman on this studio shoot at WUHF for the After Hours show (you can see me on hand held camera behind the drum kit in a couple shots) and all the guys were really great. Ozzy in particular was just a very nice gentleman. I remember him being very quiet. Of course we didn't know at the time that we were recording some of the only existing footage of Randy. Such a talent- gone too soon
You lucky bast@rd! To many of us, this performance was historic. What wonderful memories of that night you must have! Go Rochester, NY. House Of Guitars!
Do you have any other things you can tell us about the after hours show???? Please!!! It would be great to hear and maybe you know of more footage that night of Randy and other things like a conversation with him etc etc.... this is some of the cleanest footage of him and I have a feeling someone out there has more from other shows as well.....
@@ou81aswell my sentiments exactly...
@@frankc7069 yes Sharon Osbourne has ownership rights to the other tracks and footage. She's sitting on them because power hungry vampire.
WTF? Amazing. Wow. So cool.
How great would Rhandy be today if he were still alive. Probably the best Metal / Rock guitar player ever, bar none.
Ruh-handy its spelled as randy but now that i said it ruh handy sounds kinda funny
Iommi
No man, RR wanted stop to play metal and he wished a classical degree in 1982.
Jason Becker anyone?
@@joepipe1010 True, but unfortunately playing classical music doesn’t pay much. Pretty sure he’d have been back to RnR after his studies. And definitely not with Ozzy, as Randy was tired of Ozzies antics. We’ll never know for sure, but It’s fun to imagine the possibilities..
Randy was on another level. Saw him live before he died. He was just simply amazing
@@Lamster66 Charming
No he wasn’t. He sucked in QR
Randy was such a humble and shy person. Never bragged about his playing. We were all going nuts and he's like, oh I have to do this or that better. I also love that he never hid his playing on stage. As a teacher it's like he was giving lessons from the stage. A great loss when he died.
That’s why he was nothing but a hired gun.
I appreciate so much your knowledge and understanding of one of the greatest Guitarists EVER
Randy's just one of those guys that give me chills whenever I hear his playing- Such a dynamic guitarist!
Absolutely, I don't mean to sound silly, but his solos can make me cry.
Listen to this .!
This is unbelievable .
ruclips.net/video/95M9cNlunYc/видео.html
Saw him twice once in Cincinnati OH next night I'm Lexington KY, diary of a madman tour
Mr. Crowley is Randy’s masterpiece solo, IMHO. I never get tired of listening to him 🤘😎🤟
Mother revelation is great. I'm not sure I can pick a favorite.
Flying High Again
My favorite is Over The Mountain.
I agree
Live mr Crowley is awesome. One of his best overall songs on guitar, top to bottom, is SATO. Just my opinion. They all rock.
Randy is my favorite guitarist of all time.
I agree. My favorite 2 solos were the ending Tonight solo and you Can't Kill Rock and Roll solos.
Mine too. Just something about his ability. It reaches my soul.
One of the saddest "what might have been" losses in rock and roll.
RIP Randy.
There are very few guitarist that actually make me shed a tear while listening. Randy is one of those players. Even when I was 11, back in 1981...I remember actually getting emotional when I heard him play. At that time I didn't know much about him, but I knew how it made me feel. It still amazes me to this day. Great video...I really enjoyed it. :)
Randy and Django Reinhardt bring me tears....
I like how Randy's solid knowledge of music theory really showed in his riffs and solos. Like in this song in particular, how he plays off the concept that every major key has a relative minor. He effortlessly weaves back and forth between A major and F sharp minor and has such a melodic flow and smoothness about it all. It's a testament to how dedicated he was to his chosen craft.
Randy Rhoads will always be one of the Best Guitar players ever, I seen him 5 times and blew me away everytime. RIP
Randy had millions of fans but none bigger than Ozzy
David S. What a great comment! So true! I love that about Ozzy- he never tried to get too serious and hide his enthusiasm. He just lives in the moment and lets it all hang out.
@@butkusfan23 thanks
@@myownchannel247 yeah, he was broken when he died
@@pinball1970 How do you know that?
@@michaelbragg9789 That Ozzy was broken? He has spoken about it in interviews. I'll try and find a link
Feel so lucky that I saw Ozzy’s first solo tour. This young guitarist came out of nowhere and just blew everyone away!
It's not only listening to such an amazing musician. It's also about reading all the beautiful words of those many describing his technique and style. It makes you feel that the world is better than you usually think and that there is a future for mankind, after all.
Randy was the best. He was just a kid
Rhoads has never made the top ten of greats not even once nothing great about him
I agree. One of the greatest but so many didn't really get his ability. He was also humble and way ahead of his years. He was one of the more powerful influences behind symphonic metal.
@@BlueberryStinkFinger62 man what are you talking about??? his ability and feeling put to the performance is just amazing, i never heard anyone ells make such music, sadly he died so young, if he would last longer he would be even more an legend. Your coment is totaly offensive and hating so keep your hate to your self.
@@gabriellashimone6546 Nothing to agree on there that guy is just trolling and hes offensive and rude, Randy was a pro at his age and if he would live longer he would be a total number one prolly
@@BlueberryStinkFinger62 @Angelo J Richetti Whos top ten?? The lists are flawed and no one that knows ability ever sees the relationship!! Randy absolutely belongs among the best.
EVH made me want to play the guitar....Randy made me want to fall in love with learning how to. He was just beautiful. Great analysis Fil👍👍👍🎁
☺👍
Yep .. Eddie is why I yearned to play and begged my father for a guitar and Randy sparked my curiosity even further into a different style that was emerging every week in the early 80's .. Fumbling through those Mel Bay 2000 chord books and building the most difficult chords wondering how the hell is it done . and why ? Then scales , modes , reading music .. Head exploding .. Think I did relatively good when our band opened for Yngwie years later .. I never had a chance to apologize to him for that
Damn! So true. The same thing with me. 😀
EVH may be fast and taps that go nowhere. But he wrote good stuff. Randy the best shredder ever.
Wolf Gang413 Eddie who ?
Randy always had improvisation fill runs in between Rhythm sections. Those improvisation fills added color and variations to the song actually enhancing the song and taking the listener to unexpected melodic passages
👍
Yes you are absolutely right.
I always thought the same
He was 1000% the best at adding awesome fill ins when he played live that weren't on the album. It's a big reason why I think he was the greatest live guitar player there was, one of the few that sounded even better live than he did on the album !
Incredible that Randy would talk to other guitar teachers while on tour. That just shows how he was in constant pursuit of the evolution of his playing.
Kudos to Phil for not looking at all frustrated when the camera doesn't pan to Randy until after he's been soloing for over ten seconds ;)
Randy Rhoads died in the plane crash the day before my birthday in 1982. I already knew who he was, along with Ozzy. I grew up in Metro Detroit, and my Uncle Mike played in a garage band with some of his buddies, and they played Rock. By the late 70's they had me turned onto Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Who, The Stones, and others.
Ozzy was, and still is my favorite, and Randy Rhoads in 1981-82 was my favorite guitar player. Since then I have seen Ozzy reunite with Black Sabbath in concert, I have seen Dio with Black Sabbath in concert, and have seen Ozzy solo in concert a number of times. My favorite Ozzy moment in concert was at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre, March 28th 1992. The band played songs from the Randy Rhoads days and also songs from the "No More Tears" album they were supporting. The show was OFF THE RAILS, AMAZING! and at the end of the show, Ozzy invited the crowd up on stage...CRAZY! So me and my buddies crashed our way to the stage and made it up there with Ozzy and the band...IT WAS MAYHEM! I actually got to put my arm around Zakk Wylde for a second while he was playing. It was Awesome! but I wish it was Randy.
R.I.P. Randy Rhoads, your guitar and music artistry and influence will last the test of time! thanks for the video again...I'll watch more.
Same here.
My 13th birthday was on March 20th, 1982.
Randy's death made my birthday the worst one that I've ever had 💔
Saw him with Ozzy in 1982. Unbelievably great.
Randy was a monster on guitar. He was a legend of legends.
Well said .
Thanks Randy… your music and your abilities still mesmerize me. I’m 62 and just learning to play. Please guide my fingers from Heaven… RIP
Had the pleasure of meeting Randy's father .He sat with me in my dressing room while i warmed up before my show!! He was the MC that night.As he listened to me play Arpeggios -he started to open up about how much he enjoyed my playing but also how he missed his son.He said it was painful when they had to sell the house he grew up in.He had to clean out the bedroom with the baseball bats and skateboards etc. He was a very kind and misses his son.Was very sad but a pleasure to spend time with Randy's Dad as well.
HUH???? His father left when he was 1.5 years old...so NO...hey DID NOT have baseball bats OR f**king skateboards. Besides, he grew up at MUSONIA which was his Mom's music school. ALL of that you were told was BULLSHIT. I don't even think that guy was Randy's dad at all.....you were bullshitted.
@@daviddenson3324 he Was the MC of the show and was introduced in front of a packed venue.
He spoke at length about selling the home and maybe I just assumed he was living there.
I didn't grill him on details as it was none of my business. Maybe he mentioned small personal details but it was very long ago and why would he lie?
His mother also confirmed that Randy Was Still living in her home while playing with Ozzie
@ David Denson And his father was living in Connecticut where the show I did with Tony MacAlpine had taken place.Randy's mother recounted this fact in an interview
@@daviddenson3324
👉👉Just last night I was playing with Randy's brother and sister, "Andy" and "Mandy" Rhoads! Our singer is Donnie James Dio, and we have 2 bass players, Judy Sarzo and Barb Daisley... I even dated Randys sisters Candy and Sandy Rhoads, at the same time!! Yep, good times! You DO believe me, right??👌😀👍
@@HighlanderNorth1 hahaha 😉
What I love so much about Randy and EVH are the incredible mix of techniques and their distinctive sound. Absolutely love them both.....
Awesome breakdown Fil.. There are plenty of people out here *trying to do what you do... All respect ✊🏼 to them, but no one does it like Wngs of Pegasus 🎸🤘🏼
Trudat. NO ONE even comes close.
Well said!
Thanks Steve!
Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great," is another good channel. He breaks tracks down and shows you what each musician is doing alone; which is cool. He's a music insider tho, if he criticized anyone they wouldn't send him their tracks. So it's different. Might wanna check it out if you haven't.
I like this channel because Fil really gets into what just the guitarist doing as a whole while staying independent of the industry. It's much more of a fellow guitarist's viewpoint here. Which is just as cool. 👍
RoadWary41 - Agreed. Nobody does it better than our boy Filo.
I commented earlier on the other Randy reaction vid. Randy literally becomes 3 guitarists in the way that he goes in and out of rhythms ,fills,etc… He is still King for a Reason. Randys "bag of tricks" was near endless. Randys works are very much like songs within songs within songs. Its easy too understand why Ozzy is in Heaven in many vid shots. The band is completely one precise unit.
Randy Rhoads is so good, his playing so pure, my eyes well when I hear him. Only guitarist who's ever done that.
One of my top 3 favorite guitarists of all time. Right up there with Steve Vai and Marty Friedman. Everything Randy played was perfect in melodic sense and technique.
I think the first two Ozzy solo albums were just masterpieces, much of it due to Randy.
👍
and maybe just Bob Daisley who wrote them lol
Mark Brock spot on!!! Bob and Lee Kerslake, too.
Just Imagine how great RAINBOW would of been if Blackmore didn't fuck about with the mix?
@@wtglb more Bob Daisley. That's why Ozzy brought him back. Bob handled the lyrics and Randy the music.
Randy will always be my most influential player. I learned so much from playing his work. A truly, truly gifted player.
I remember the first time I heard "Blizzard of Ozz". It was as jaw dropping as when the first time I heard Van Halen. All I could think was "who is that guitar player". His playing brought a new realm to metal. Those first 2 Ozzy albums remain my top favorite albums of all time. Great post Phil !
As humble as he was talented. He was a student willing to always learn more ... but a master guitarist to his fans and peers. Still gives me chills listening to his playing.
You nailed it bro. Randy has always been my favorite guitarist. His attack, fluidity with rhythm and lead, his passion, originality and technicality are unequivocally the greatest of any performer. I credit him with inventing neo-classical shred metal. Even though he was so much more. Great video \m/
Larry Ward The Thunderbird: Saint Randy of Metal.
Ozzy really loved Randy...every time I hear Ozzy
speak of Randy, I can hear his emotion. It shows here
in spades. Randy’s playing is so iconic. Great pick and
review, Fil!
Thanks Joe ☺
Too bad he and Sharon didn’t love and respect Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley as much.
ruclips.net/video/fmPiskcKd0I/видео.html
Randy made Ozzy relevant again after he was booted out of Black Sabbath. In fact Randy tried out Ozzy didn't realize how really good he was. So sad that his life was taken when he was so young.
You had a supposed has-been Rockstar singer,two veterans and a rookie guitarist who came together to create two of the most iconic Hard Rock/Heavy Metal albums in music history..and yes Ozzy knew what he had in Randy...Randy helped resurrect Ozzy's career,But the Music business is a nasty business....Just look at it this way. When Randy announced he wanted out,he was neck deep in the Diary of A Madman tour,the album was a smashing hit, had already seen Lee and Bob get screwed from the royalties and get kicked out before the US tour of Blizzard,he probably didn't like THAT side of the business,Ozzy and Randy had a fistfight during a breakfast over this-his planning to leave-,Sharon had backed Randy into a corner and "REMINDED" him of his legal contract to stick around.. he agreed to do one live album and one studio and that was it... Later when he passed Kelly Garni says that Sharon flew to Cali. 24-48 hrs after Randy passed to change the contract to avoid paying his family the royalties he was due. The family took OzzyCo. to court and they backpedaled to move.......
One of my favorite guitarists ever. Very lucky to have seen him with Ozzy in early 1982.
What a great performance by all in this footage! Randy Rhoads left this earth all to soon! Great analysis thanks Fil,
Thanks Drew ☺
I am born the same day as Randy 12/06 and my moms name is also Dolores. I met him at the Riverside theatre during the Blizzard of Oz tour. We had a long wonderful conversation before the gig became instant friends and shared our deep love of classical music...Elvis Presley and Gary Moore....RIP Randy...very insightful Fast flinging fingers Fil...
This is the best and most respectful to Randy I have ever heard! Kudos
One more comment.. It’s an incredible solo ,but that camera 🎥 man or woman should’ve jumped to Randy when that lead started.. 😮😢✊🏼
Yeah I think it was a directors call!
Steve Kutz I’ve noticed a lot of the older stuff stays focused on the lead singers face.
Drove me crazy the first time I saw this video.
@@wingsofpegasus One of the members from " Ultimate Rhoads "website father was one of the two camera men who recorded the show in Rochester, NY.
@@Wizardofgosz yep
I love watching this whole set. Ozzy and the whole band are having a great time and you can see how Ozzy was blown away and to a point excited to have Randy by his side. What a tragic loss and will be forever missed.
Amen.
Could you imagine if Randy was alive today? He would've done things on the guitar we couldn't even dream of. He would of had his own guitar probably better then Les Paul.
Am I wrong? Wasn't that Jackson V the Randy Rhoads model? If not, I sure think of him whenever I see it.
Actually randy was leaving ozzy band to get his degree in classical music and start a new career as a classical guitar teacher. He hated touring and being a rock star, was leaving it all behind
He did have his guitar, RR1. Jackson guitar. I have two of them. 3,000$
@@johncrawford2510 he is playing a custome Les Paul. Randy had his own custome guitars made
@@johncrawford2510 the Jackson Rhoads V not to be confused with Jackson King V.
Out of all the proto-metal chops guitarists, Randy is my favorite. His harmonic choices just speak to me. The way he weaves in and out of standard blues guitar stuff and classical lines.. it’s just incredibly inventive for the time. And like all the greats, it’s emotive. Some chops guitarists it starts to sound like typing fast instead of music. But not his solos, always sounds like he’s fighting for every inch of that guitar and winning. Sad we didn’t get to hear more from him 💙
What impresses me the most about Randy's playing was how every single part of his impressive technical vocabulary was always used so tastefully to express musically VALID ideas. No phrase, or run, or fill ever seemed to be out of place, or excessive, with all of those individual parts building towards a clear goal like a beautifully told story. A phenomenal player who we lost far far too soon.
For those of you who didn't know. Bob Daisleys web page has sounds snippets of unreleased studio from the Blizzard sessions.Some very cool stuff.Yes its randy......
Going looking for it now, thanks. Anything Randy Rhoads is difficult to find.
thank you
You got Randy right on. He did what a lot of young classical musicians did at that time which was jumping on the Rock boat, which I’m sure helped so many guitar players. But Randy was so enjoyable to listen to, could you picture with his knowledge of music what he would be like today. There was a tribute to Ozzy the band played Crazy Train. It took 3 guitar players to do what 1 Randy Roads did.
I am 54 years old I saw Blizzard of Oz tour in 1981 at Indianapolis circle theater with def leppard opening the high and dry lp....I got so lucky to be at front stage so close that randy could sweat on us most awesome thing I ever saw in my life changed me I was and still to this day a Randy fan . And better yet got to kinda get to know Rudy Sarzo and chat on internet from time to time . When we lost him I cried for days my hero was gone now through my music career I have got to meet Kelle Rhoads as well is just amazing I only wished I could of got to meet Randy . there will never be another thank you Randy,Rudy,Tommy and ozzy I love you for that music in my day
Also 54, Hoosier transplanted elsewhere (from Lapel). I was also at that show, although not so close. Great show.
Amen.
I never got to see RR live but Crazy Train was one of the first hooks I learned on that classical guitar when I was a kid in the 80’s. Iconic sound. You guys are so lucky.
Amen
@@DrumWild thats awesome
I love this upload because it calmly explains everything about bass,drums and Randy Rhoades and is very respectful of him .. everybody is a spectator to RRs genius....
thank GOD for the few people like him to make life just little bit sweeter and fun. talent .gift and hard work makes Awesome.
Thank you for giving such a great commentary about Randy’s playing abilities. Add some little known facts about his background as well. I saw him in concert with Ozzy back in the day, and he gained an avid fan. His passing was tragic, and he is missed by those that saw the talent and emotion he put into his performances. I agree he would stand out amount the best guitarists in the world today. Kudos to you, and RIP Randy.
Randy slays on guitar while Ozzy murders vocal. Pretty sure Randy was half wizard.
👍
Was he related to Harry Potter?
Absolutely when Ozzy saying the wizard in the early 70s a Sabbath he was singing about the wizard to be in the future that is Randy 🤘🤘🤘
Fil I am not sure what I enjoyed more watching Randy or watching your reaction to Randy. I can tell you have some serious admiration for this guy because of how you speak about him. I always think it's cool when someone with serious skills like yourself shows the vulnerable side of themselves when they analyze someone else who had skills of his level. I am sure as a teacher you are asked to teach his style which is no easy feat for anyone even Randy Himself. I really enjoyed this video two-fold. one for Randy and one for you. Keep rocking brother.
Randy was and still is such a huge influence to guitar players everywhere,,,we lost so much when Randy died,,,,I can only imagine what more he would have given us musically,,,,
Another fantastic upload mate. Keep them coming
Fil,love how you break all different styles down. Saw you on live stream the other day and you are very talented yourself!!
Thanks Billy!
So glad that you reviewed this vid. Awesome way you articulated Randy's technique.Yes he was unique and a trailblazer...
Blown away by Randy every time I see something I haven’t seen before. Thanks for the amazing analysis and share 🎶🎸
The best anf most honorable breakdown of randys style ive EVER heard. .
Cheers from across the pond....
EJ
Saw Randy in '82 on the Blizzard of Oz tour, Saw Ozzy with Jake E Lee the next year with Vandenberg opening up, and haven't had any desire to see Ozzy in 36 years. The first two records are the only ones that matter.
Cool!
Yep.
I saw both shows too, in St Louis. Randy was superb. Ozzy was fantastic Jake E Lee did a great job, but Ozzy was a complete mess at that show
Still had a rocking good time
Richard Wielgosz if it was ‘82 that was Diary of a Madman tour, my brother. I saw that show too
, my first big concert. Blizzard was ‘81. Dang, we are getting old!
😎👍🏻😎
Randy was such a tiny human. Look at how HUGE that Les Paul looks on him. HE was a master and will be adored forever.
Yeah!
5,7 isn't tiny.
St.Fiacre 5’7 is shorter than average, but its not that his height its that he’s super skinny. Not that it matters though
I always thought it was the angle of the dangle that really counts. LOL
Hey, easy there buddy. He was 5'7"... like me.😆
Man I remember when this footage appeared in youtube 5 or 6 years ago. With so little footage of Randy, this was like a unbelievable revelation, and the production on the video isn't awful. I think there are 4 songs.
👍
What will we ever do if they take RUclips down!!!!! 🤯🤯😱😱
I bought the VHS in 92 US mail order couldn’t believe my eyes unreal still have it
Any Randy Rhoads video is a great Randy Rhoads video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together 👍
One of the most popular riffs and song for sports arenas. It inspires people every time.
I always wondered how randy achieved such a great level of virtuosity on the guitar? You provided the answer to this question in a single sentence. I really do appreciate your videos. Thanks Pegasus
No problem!
I saw randy on the Blizzard tour in Wisconsin. Superb is an understatement. He must have been a good guy. He is right. Everybody knows something another does not. Neil Peart was the same. A sign of true character.
Cool!
Neil is an asshole
@@minus148 That comment tells us everything we need to know about you. I rate it -148
Appreciate your analysis Phil. I’ve always been a fan of the late Randy Rhoads. Tasteful and passionate, he was succinct and deliberate, his rhythm and ability to enhance the others in the band were certainly rare. He truly expanded their musical style with his open mind and willingness to keep learning. I personally love his classical influence!
Good thing that Fil analysed this! The original video has been removed!
Love the pure joy on Ozzys face at Randys playing.
Dude I always find myself coming back to this randy video, one of the best riffs ever. And I really love your videos, you know your shit bro. Keep em comin- al
Thanks Albert!
I also keep coming back to this Randy video. I think Randy was a guitar God and I love how Fil talks about him, giving him the praise he so deserved. He was leaving Ozzy to go play classical for a while. We will never know just what break throughs Randy was yet to make on guitar. So so sad he was taken so young. RIP Randy we love and miss you.
Just watching Randy play is mesmerizing. He didn't even look at the neck/fretboard. His fingers just automatically glided to where they were supposed to go. I've been a Randy freak for many years and I think he would have come back to playing rock even if he left Ozzy. I could see him putting together a group of his own and doing projects of various kinds of music. And I have to say this, even though Randy died way too young and he had so much more to give us, I don't think Jake E. Lee gets enough credit for replacing Randy and playing some great guitar of his own to keep Ozzy's musical career going. Jake was his own man and was different than Randy, but his playing was very impressive and kept Ozzy relevant when Ozzy could have hung it up and never played again after Randy died. Jake's playing on the first Badlands album is some of the best playing I've ever heard. He didn't have Randy's charisma, but the music was right there with Randy's, and Ozzy should be grateful that Jake helped him to make that transition after Randy.
It's Sad Randy never had the chance to move forward with his incredible guitar skills. I can imagine where he would be today had he lived. Your the Greatest RR. RIP.
Dude, I gotta say I do love your videos. I have watched several over and over. It kind of amazes me how much your comments are the same or close to my personal thoughts about the different players. You're great, so keep up the great work!!!
Randy always was a "HUGE" inspiration for me!!!
Randy really shows you that if you can master the scales & connecting them, you can solo anything
I was blessed to See both Tours, Randy was one of the best players ever.
his fills remind me of a " train " a great player with tons of style, his own personality and skill..he was definitely a bridge of the old players from the 60s and 70s into what was to come in the 1980s
👍
Randy Rhoads paired with Ozzy in the early 80's was Pure Musical Magic! Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman are two of the best Hard Rock/Metal albums of All-Time. I listen to them often. Thanks for the video!
Man! You are one very smart dude, my friend. This was one of the most in-depth, in-insightful dissections on everything Randy Rhoads that I've come across. The fact that you packed all this in a 14+ min. 'blurb' video is extraordinary. If you ever get out of music, I can readily see Main Stream Media coming after you. Great channel, Sir!........keep it up!!
Thanks!
Great video. You are not only a professional artist, but a gracious fan of the art. Randy is amazing.
RANDY >> he played "happy", so did - does Eddie V, they would exclude joyful happiness in true love with playing and it is so dammed infectious to the audience....cheers
Excellent point!
Same with Joe Satriani. So good that he brings humor to virtuosity,
Salesmanship
‘Joyful’ is exactly the word that comes to mind when listening to RR’s playing, particularly on Crazy Train
His classical fingering is so incredible! If you watch any of the old classical guitarists used the same kind of fingering and classical music had a huge impact on Heavy Metal and other genres of rock.Randy makes it easy to see and hear!
The Tribute album is one of the best photos of them together. Epic. Tragic how we lost Randy.
I was a 12-year-old wanna be rock guitarist during Rhoads era and he was always an idol. Always tried but never mastered playing Randy licks in garage band days and even managed to slip a few in the 90's when playing professionally with alt/rock grunge bands. Yep no matter what genre or era Randy reigns supreme RIP great one.
he is an all time A leaguer
We are so lucky to have music and artists like these guys
and you Fil !! Rock !! 👍👍
GREAT VIDEO THANKYOU..RANDY RHOADS THEE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER!!!!
You have GOTTA do the song DIARY OF A MADMAN! IMo it is his masterpiece, and criminally underrated. The amount of guitar work going on is amazing! The classical guitar work with the very subtle variations, the building of the song, the feel, building to the amazing solo, still brings shivers after all these years. I had my tickets in hand for that tour, which was my first big show, and he passed a month before.
Yeah he was taken way too soon.
I'd love to have see him do "Diary of a Madman" too. Just too bad there's so little video of Randy.
Drewg351 it’s my understanding that there actually is supposed to be a lot of pro concert footage, but the ozbournes are keeping it.
@@Daddy53751, are you kidding me??? Why would they do that??? It's been long enough. They could and should release these videos if they're available.
@@Drewg351 agree! Nobody knows what goes on in Sharons head.
Let us not forget Rudy. Wow and watch Tommy here. Beyond filling in this song. But yes Randy is beyond it all. Saw him live. Never forget it.

Yes, the way Rudy licks his fingers during key moments of the song is incredible 😏
Cool!
Is this daisley or sarzo? Daisley practically wrote all of ozzy's songs and got no credit
Rudy and Randy were tight together from being in Quiot Riot in the seventies that added a lot to the quality on this particular performance.I was very fortunate to have seen this line up just about a month before Randy died R.I.P Randy
@@DarkSitari It is Rudy in this video...
Arrr....that moment at 7:15 when Randy starts that classical inspired solo ALWAYS gives me the goosebumps.
Wanted to mention I have been enjoying your channel's diversity. You are obviously extremely knowledgeable about the complexity in music and the tech that goes with it.
Thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work. 🎼
ANYTHING to do with Randy & I'm here! Tremendous analysis Fil and for those who haven't caught your first Randy Rhoads music video check it out as I was able to get Bassist Rudy Sarzo"s answer to Fil question to the music video which was the "other" song and music video they shot live in this Rochester, N.Y. Tv studio in '81. #RockOn EDIT - Love your work Fil!!!
Thanks James! Yeah that was cool!
One of my favorite songs is Mother Earth revelation I think it was called
Back in 84/88 when I was in high school. This debate started about who was a better guitar player, Randy Rhoades or Eddie Van Halen. When they ask me which one was better, I replied Chet Adkins just to get out of the debate and they all just laughed me. Little did they know there is no best because there's always someone getting better everyday. Keep up the great videos!
Yeah!
I find it laughable that those are probably the only two guitarists they knew of as well.
I've only watched a couple of your videos, but our opinions seem very similar.
I 've always loved how Randy could blend his awesome rythem with his kick ass leads without missing a beat. You're right. 3 man band with a ton going on. Fun stuff.
PLEASE dont never take this video down, its my only way to see the amazing performance from Randy Rhoads
Ozzie at his happiest...and the best ensemble for Him too..what a tragic story for all involved...what We lost..and i mean a good human..classy and smart young Man..
