Diary Of a Madman was w/o a doubt Randy's masterpiece. I first heard it in 82 at the age of 7 and started learning the guitar at 12.It's been 35yrs now and have played on numerous stages with many great musicians during that time .... all because of Randy Rhoads and that song. He will forever be my musical mentor in spirit.
Saw Rhoades shortly before the crash. Feb of 1982, in Birmingham, Alabama. I was blown AWAY by his playing, as I'd already seen Van Halen twice at that point. He death was a true loss, for everyone.
“I owe my career to him,” Ozzy Osbourne on Randy Rhodes. Randy was way before his time in his guitar talent. He was storm in music and will forever be remembered for his talent and his spirit. Thanks for telling his story. (I heard at one point Randy's Mom (before she passed) had his music playing at the mosselium.)
Randy was dedicated beyond belief. I often wonder how far he could have gone in terms of growing his natural talent as he really was something else. At the end of the day it’s a tragic waste of life that could and should have been avoided . I know Don has never recovered
Exactly. It's a tragic loss. The pilot was wasted and took out innocent people for no reason. He could have crashed the plane alone but murdered people that had nothing to do with his personal life. Completely insane.
He dabbled with cocaine but yeah he was a saint compared to Ozzy and the rest of the band back then his passion was guitar he changed music rock metal with classical.
This was such a shock when it happened. I had seen Randy on the previous tour for Blizzard. I remember it like it was yesterday. I happened to meet Ozzy briefly on the Bark at the Moon tour. We chatted about Randy. Someone had a boom box and was playing a live show recorded in Montreal in 81. Ozzy said, "That's Randy!". He mentioned that he was putting the Tribute album together. The sadness in his eyes when he spoke about him was unmistakable. Thanks for your efforts brother! 💓
@MARQUIS de QUEENSBURY 5.0 Yeah, you're not wrong. They treated the original members like shit, I'd have to agree. They shafted Bob and Lee pretty badly as well.
What a senseless tragedy. As a mother I hope it gave Randy’s Mom a bit of comfort knowing that one of his last thoughts was of getting photographs for her. Yet again as a Mom I am also sure the absolute angry pain she must of went through knowing his death was so senseless. He died in attempt trying to wrestle that plane away from the tour bus. Thank you Scott for your diligence in taking us with you and getting the complete story. RIP Randy and his Mom.
That photograph was taken by Paul Natkin, in my opinion the greatest photograph of Randy and Ozzy ever ! I was very fortunate I met Randy when I was 14 at stabler arena in Bethlehem Pennsylvania. When they were on the blizzard of Oz tour and I took two great shots using Kodak Kodachrome 64 slide film of Randy outside when he was signing autographs outside the tour bus and I still have those photographs today and I'm currently 55 years old. Oh I also failed to mention that day while I was standing there Randy reached into his pocket and handed me a guitar pick that was in his pocket and gave it to me! today my son has that pic, and it was a Gibson pic dark maroon.
I saw him a short time after this - Oz was not inspired - he sang and poured a few buckets of water on the front rows - Cardinal Stadium - Louisville KY - I knew he wasn't right - he wasn't drunk or f-d up but when the set list was completed - he jumped in a golf cart and it was over - People weren't happy - and everyone stood waiting for an encore - I told my friends - " He's done - we might as well beat the traffic " On way home my buddy's girlfriend said " He's still sad " - I was thinking the same thing
@@scottcastro9383They should have paused it for longer to give time for the fans to grieve. As well as they should have given time for Brad Gillis to be ready to join the tour. Bernie Torme was a decent Gtr player but nowhere near the level of Randy. I saw the Show at MSG and it was the saddest bummer of a show that I've ever seen. I still wish I never went. Brad Gillis to this day is still the best Gtr player who had to fill Randy's shoes. Next to Jake E Lee. The one show that helped me get over the loss was the Speak of the devil show at the old Ritz here in NY. That was phenomenal and I'd have to say Brad stole the show he was so great.
Bless your heart, Scott, I was hoping you’d cover Randy & you did. You’re always ahead of us. 🙂 He wasn’t the normal rock band lead guitarist - wasn’t into drugs, heavy drinking, partying. I always think of him as a ‘golden child.’ He wasn’t perfect, but was intelligent & had a good head on his shoulders. Had plans beyond the rock scene for his future. I always felt bad for him that his father left the family before Randy turned 2 years old & have wondered if that led him to teaching young kids music lessons. His resting place is lovely, it does my heart good to know his mother is there with him. This one & your coverage of Shannon Hoon are special for me. If you haven’t already, please consider covering Stevie Ray Vaughan - another beautiful soul. Thank you for this one, & thank you again for being so respectful of your subjects.💜
Hi Scott great video as always my friend. So tragically sad what happened to Randy and the other two people on the plane. Ozzy and Sharon were devastated when this crash sadly happend. My sincerest condolences to Randy's family and friends and fans too. This man was an immense guitarist taken way too soon. RIP Randy Rhoads 🙏🎸 From Liverpool UK ✌.
Wow Scott I have never heard the story of how Randy Rhoads passed away. Such a senseless tragedy.. he was so young. Thanks for all you do! I appreciate all the time and research you put into each of your videos. You’re the best!
Thank you for another terrific program. Randy Rhodes, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Hendrix before them. What would music be like if they all had lived. Imagine all three on stage at the same time?
I didn't really get into Randy until the Tribute album came out. Yeah I'd hear Crazy Train on the radio and thought it was a cool song, but I was more of an Eddie Van Halen fan and didn't give any other guitar players much thought. But one night I had a dream that I walked into my living room, and sitting there on the couch, his head partially obscured by the lamp, was Randy Rhoads. He looked up at me and said "Hey what's up?". Probably a year or so later, when Tribute came out (1987?) I bought the album and when I listened to the studio outtakes for the song "Dee", I heard Randy's voice and was floored. It was exactly the same as the voice in my dream. Up until hearing it on the Tribute album, I had never heard Randy's voice.
Thanks for this @scott on tape . I was a huge fan of Randy Rhodes. It took Ozzy to a very deep depression when he died. Thanks for all you do you really are the best at this
Nice video Scott. I just got Ozzy tattooed on me earlier this year and this era from Ozzy was something special I couldn’t imagine what they or he could’ve accomplished today.
I'm sure someone's already said this in the comments but I gotta right two wrong things you mentioned. It was Randy's mom who urged him to audition for ozz. He didn't wanna do it. As well as the short audition was at a studio. Not in ozzys hotel room. Thanks for doing the video and visiting both sites. I still wanna get to visit Randy's grave /Mausoleum one day.
Been there a few times. Always pay tribute to Randy and his mom. Ozzy felt so guilty about Randys death because he promised his mom he would make sure nothing would happen to him. I also paid a visit to Musonia in October 2021 and met Kelle Rhoads. Very nice guy and he gave us a tour of the school. I actually touched the amps Randy played in Quiet Riot. Side note- Wyatt Earp's brother Bill is buried there too.
Randy Rhoads is an absolute eternal legend. I can not express how beyond devastated i was and remain that he died so needlessly and tragically. I always keep in him mind. I share his music with every soul i know. My children and grandchildren. I was deeply touched when Ozzy and Jack listened to old tapes captured during one their Ozzy and Jack tours- best show ever! Ozzy honored Randy by including him in his Ordinary Man video. Ozzy clearly still mourns his loss. I do too. I know Ozzy had a lot to do with his resting place. I was glad to see his beloved mom now rests with him. Rest in eternal peace forever loved legend💖💐🕊️ Thank you so much for this Scott❣️
That was such awful and tragic news. Randy Rhoads was an amazing and more than talented musician. His death rocked the whole world of rock, hard rock and any genre. He will never be forgotten.
My first V guitar was a Jackson Rhoads. That led me to an obsession with them. While Im not into Ozzy per se, its a treat anytime someone digs up Randy's isolated tracks or any off-footage of him performing. His technique is so unbelievably...clean. Just one of the most precise guitarists while having emotion and soul drip from every note. Theres no telling what that bus driver cost the world that day.
Oh my GOD! I did not know this! So Randy was a HERO, he saved everyone on that bus...I am imagining a struggle and this crazed pilot saying he was going to crash the bus. Poor guy, all the people, I totally believe he saved them! Thanks Scott!
Ahh you know I have been waiting for this one! I can't believe he has been gone since 1982! I have seen and read that Ozzy misses and cries everyday missing his good friend. Randy was so crazy talented. His mausoleum is gorgeous. Rest in Peace Randy you are so loved and will be forever missed. Thank you, Scotty good job. Aww the cows loved you too! Or maybe they related to your hair!
Another great memory! ( not that they passed, but I remember when it happened). Just a stupid stunt and they all perished. It’s heartbreaking. What he could have accomplished. RIP to them all …💔💔💔
I was six when this went down. I remember crying uncontrollably, no idea who any of these dudes were. But once I knew, man... what a genius. He studied Classical Guitar and brought it to a place that nobody had ever thought to use it. 💔
I visited Randy Rhoads grave today on 12/5/2022 (the day before what would have been his 66th birthday on 12/6) before I headed home to Phoenix (from LA) and I left a rock for him like you do Scott. I watched this video after I got home and I placed my rock almost exactly where yours had been...I've been wanting to visit his grave for YEARS!! I was a Junior (11th grade) in High School when he died and I was devastated. My family is actually instructed to play Crazy Train and Randy's guitar riffs at my funeral. RIP Randy....gone way too soon and this loss was epic. It's not enough but THANK YOU Scott so much for doing this video on my all time favorite guitarist and school girl crush 💖🎶🎸
Randy was huge for me. He and Michael Schenker are the reason I play guitar and influenced my love of V shaped guitars. The legacy Randy left is largely based on those two Ozzy records…which is astonishing
Randy was truly special. He was the guy. He was just getting going and the two records made were the Ozzy songbook. He was the kind of player that still today makes kids want to learn guitar. Fate is something so wish had passed him by, he is sorely missed and loved.God Bless this person and Rachael Youngblood.
He just wanted to take pictures for his Mom, so sad. The pilot had no regard for those on the bus or the plane, senseless tragedy. Thanks for sharing his story Scott take care ❤
Thanks for doing this Scott. This video actually made my birthday even more special believe it or not. randy was amazing. There will never be another Randy. RIP.
Losses like this are always tragic....but even more so when it was unnecessary....The human mind, leads normally sane people, to do very stupid things in the blink of an eye. Again Scott, so much respect. Not much more to say about this one, other than... a legend was lost.
thanks very much Scotty for letting R.R. have the spotlight today.what an amazing talent/player/person..to Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, etc. he was known as Saint Rhodes🔥
I worked at Saint Bernadine's Hospital right across the street at that time. I remember all the people over there but had no idea that's where Randy was buried. RIP Master Guitarist Randy😎🤘
Always struck me as the 'craziest story' in rock n' roll, been a rock fan since the day I was born, and always knew the stories, but this one kinda takes the cake. #offtherails #crazyplane
I lived in Leesburg during this horrible time. Some of us were at a party not far from Calhune's. We were supposed to goto the concert. Which was canceled. We saw the plane flying around. Then we heard a loud crashing sound. We didn't know or realized what had just happened until the next day when it hit the news. It was a sad day.
As a guitar player, Randy was my number hero. I was 9 years old in 1989, first heard him and never looked back. Love him. When they ID'd him through his jewelry it was that RR ring.
I remember this like it was yesterday such a young life gone he was such a great guitarist he will always be loved and miss thxz Scott great job give ur doggie kiss for me thxz
Scott, thanks for this superb video account on the death of Randy Rhoads. I was around his age when this happened, but had no idea his mother lived until 2015. Rest in peace mother and son.
Very well done my friend. All the years I lived in Ocala I never knew Randy Rhoads died in Leesburg. Thank you so much for this. It would have been nice if I was still down in Florida I could have got to see you again and we could have lunch. Thank you again for such a wonderful job and you be safe out there. See you later!
Even the cattle get excited when Scott arrives. They were wagging their tales and licking their chops. Lol. Great coverage. Thanks for your time consuming hard work & travel scott.
Thanks Scott,never knew all the details about the plane crash, I had a Ozzy/Randy tribute shirt I wore till it wouldn't fit anymore. Gone to soon. R.I.P....RR.
Nothing but deep respect for Randy. Musically a fenomenon. Hero for trying to get the plane away from crashing into the bus killing everyone, against the loss of his own life.. Ty, Scott-On-Tape. for taking us with you. 👍👍👍 ❤❤
Great Job! I said this to you on Instagram but I spent the 80's, 90's and current times at this Cemetery. I met his mother, sister and nephew whilst paying my respects. Thanks for the Vid.
Thank you for doing this video, unfortunately Randy had already passed when I first heard him play in about 87. From that day to this have been a fan and after 40 years he is still considered as one of the best, that shows the impact he had and continues to have. Incredible talent. Super respectful video, top notch stuff. New subscriber from U.K.
I'll never forget the day Randy was killed. A friend of mine dropped by to tell me what had happened, and I couldn't believe it. So glad to finally see where it the crash took place. But until now, I hadn't heard of Jerry Calhoun. And can't any info about him online. Great video!
Randy Rhoads RIP...I remember hearing about this plane crash ...hearing from Sharon talking about it. .sad 😢....too young so many artists in music pass to soon ....
It angers me the neglect & recklessness that led to their deaths, so senseless & tragic & preventable. RIP Randy Rhoads & the rest of the victims 🙏🙏🕊🕊. Great Tribute to Randy, Scott you really do a great job with these type of videos.
I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news of the crash and Randy's death. Years earlier a friend and I had shared a lunch table with Randy and one of his friends at a crowded Burger King in Hollywood, waiting for the next tour time at Universal Studios. I had no idea who he was at that time. Randy had a guitar case with him that had a black Gibson SG in it that he said he had just purchased at a pawn shop. A good while later after I had returned home to Ohio, I learned who Randy was and a little about Quiet Riot. Randy was now the guitarest for Ozzy and I paid much more attention to him. I couldn't believe I had met him at that Burger King a few years earlier. This accident was definitely tradgic and senseless. A great video here Scott!!!
RIP Randy!! Gone too soon!! Poor guy!! A senseless tragedy!! God bless him!! Great video my friend!! Your a sweet person!! Love you and your channel!! He has a nice final resting place!! God bless him!! Be safe!! Peace!! 💙💙💜💜❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢💖💖💖✌️✌️✌️✌️
Watched many vids of this incident over the years but this one is the best.Probably because you are a pop music fan and not a musician.Totally fresh viewpoint.Did you quote any of the books that are out there in the world about this accident?The bassist rudy sarzo has a book about it.FUN FACT..Ritchie Blackmore from rainbow/deep purple was touring the us and when in tn they had to change busses and drivers because the driver wanted to go on vacation.When ritchie saw the new driver ritchie ''saw his black aura'' and offered to pay the original driver double to keep him.That driver was the pilot of the plane.
Love your videos Scott having just discovered you. Rhoads was a fantastic guitar player thanks for this excellent video. You have a new fan in Scotland !
Very VERY Cool video Scott I love how you were able to tie the two locations together and also seeing all the familiar locations in San Bernardino such as driving through the Cajon Pass and even the cemetery its self. There is A Hospital in the background at the grave site where my Son Ryan and also Holly was born at. Ozzy would for many years come to Randys grave site for either his birthday or the day he died i forget which. Thanks for sharing this one with us buddy hope to see you again soon.
Holly was born in that hospital?? That’s crazy i was looking at it when I was there! Say hello to my little best friend and tell her I miss all of u but her the most! 🤣
I met Randy's sister Kathy. She looks like him that have a wine store in burbank bl CA. It was nice to say hello. And quickly went on my way. That was the closest I've been to Randy Rhodes. Nov 2014 I live in Corona CA I was visiting friends in burbank . It was an honor to shake the hand of the sister of one of the greatest guitarist of all time ❤😢😊
I saw RR play, front row in Bham, AL...right in front of him. The third to last show he played. The live album that was later released did no justice to what I heard that night. Had he lived he MIGHT have gone back to classical music, but I think he would have been an even bigger rival to EVH. I will never forget that explosion of sound that I heard that night. It was unforgettable. RIP RR.
I didn't get to see Randy sadly cause the tragedy happened just a few weeks before the show at MSG. But I've heard loads of great sound board recordings from the last couple of months before Randy died and I totally agree that the live album didn't do him justice. There's way better shows and recordings they could have used. Max Norman.. The engineer and producer of Blizzard, Diary and Tribute also stated that the tapes they gave him for the Tribute album were not the best they could have given him and he had to clean up the recordings big time. Check out any show from the last couple of months with Randy and you'll hear some mind blowing recordings. Though I'm sure none can beat seeing him around the time that you did.
a friend of mine in high school claimed to have his mothers phone number. He said she always answered his calls and was very accommodating and friendly answering any questions he had of Randy. RIP
Now time for this video! Scott , appreciate all the entertainment ! Wish I had your dedication , just a power company employee in SC but this stuff is better than anything on tv! Not great with words but do love this channel ! Be safe and thanks again for all the stuff u put out ! Take care !!!
Randy was an incredible classical and rock guitarist, he was as sweet and as humble as can be and as Rudy has said and feels Randy was murdered, I agree. This didn't need to happen, anyhow may they all RIP!
Diary Of a Madman was w/o a doubt Randy's masterpiece. I first heard it in 82 at the age of 7 and started learning the guitar at 12.It's been 35yrs now and have played on numerous stages with many great musicians during that time .... all because of Randy Rhoads and that song.

RANDY RHOADS WAS-HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS EVER. DAMN SAD he died so young! 💔
I love seeing the mountains we call them the mash mountains because they r at the beginning of m*a*s*h
Randy was dedicated beyond belief. I often wonder how far he could have gone in terms of growing his natural talent as he really was something else. At the end of the day it’s a tragic waste of life that could and should have been avoided . I know Don has never recovered

@MARQUIS de QUEENSBURY 5.0 Yeah, you're not wrong. They treated the original members like shit, I'd have to agree. They shafted Bob and Lee pretty badly as well.
I literally was thinking about the Randy Rhoads plane crash not even 15 minutes ago for no particular reason.
What a senseless tragedy. As a mother I hope it gave Randy’s Mom a bit of comfort knowing that one of his last thoughts was of getting photographs for her.

Such a horribly senseless tragedy💔 RIP to Randy and the other victims🎸
I believe that Randy's passing broke Ozzy's heart forever. I'll always see the picture in my mind of Ozzy lifting Randy into the air,

That is really one of the most sad, tragic tales of the music world I have heard, but we have gained an angel.

My sincerest condolences to Randy's family and friends and fans too. This man was an immense guitarist taken way too soon.
RIP Randy Rhoads 🙏🎸
From Liverpool UK ✌.
Wow Scott I have never heard the story of how Randy Rhoads passed away. Such a senseless tragedy.. he was so young. Thanks for all you do! I appreciate all the time and research you put into each of your videos. You’re the best!
Me too it was mainly reported as a plane crash I didnt know the details until now..
Randy Rhodes was phenominal, was lucky enough to see him perform once with Ozzy. I've never forgotten it. RIP Randy, and rock on!
The good die young. It's so unfortunate. Glad you shared Randy's story.

Thanks for this @scott on tape . I was a huge fan of Randy Rhodes. It took Ozzy to a very deep depression when he died. Thanks for all you do you really are the best at this

so beautiful where randy was buried. gone too soon far too young rip randy thankyou scott for making the trip back up to see him
Randy is my lifelong hero, my biggest guitar influence by far. In my opinion, he was/ is the greatest.
Another great memory! ( not that they passed, but I remember when it happened). Just a stupid stunt and they all perished. It’s heartbreaking. What he could have accomplished. RIP to them all …💔💔💔

I was a Junior (11th grade) in High School when he died and I was devastated. My family is actually instructed to play Crazy Train and Randy's guitar riffs at my funeral. RIP Randy....gone way too soon and this loss was epic. It's not enough but THANK YOU Scott so much for doing this video on my all time favorite guitarist and school girl crush 💖🎶🎸
Randy was huge for me. He and Michael Schenker are the reason I play guitar and influenced my love of V shaped guitars.
The legacy Randy left is largely based on those two Ozzy records…which is astonishing
Thank You Scott 🌹RIP Randy🌹
Randy was truly special. He was the guy. He was just getting going and the two records made were the Ozzy songbook. He was the kind of player that still today makes kids want to learn guitar. Fate is something so wish had passed him by, he is sorely missed and loved.God Bless this person and Rachael Youngblood.
NICE JOB SCOTT! i was lucky enough to see randy a couple times with ozzy.....thanks scott...
He just wanted to take pictures for his Mom, so sad. The pilot had no regard for those on the bus or the plane, senseless tragedy. Thanks for sharing his story Scott take care ❤
Thank you for this. His Guitar work on S.A.T.O from The Diary of a Madman Album and so many others was incredible. What a talent he had.
Thanks for doing this Scott. This video actually made my birthday even more special believe it or not. randy was amazing. There will never be another Randy. RIP.
Happy Birthday!!!
Scott…this is a wonderful video. Your compassion and respect for others is truly appreciated! Thank you for all you do!!
Such a senseless tragedy , he rejuvenated Ozzy's career and he was on his way to becoming maybe the greatest guitarist ever, great vid
Losses like this are always tragic....but even more so when it was unnecessary....The human mind, leads normally sane people, to do very stupid things in the blink of an eye. Again Scott, so much respect. Not much more to say about this one, other than... a legend was lost.
thanks very much Scotty for letting R.R. have the spotlight today.what an amazing talent/player/person..to Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, etc. he was known as Saint Rhodes🔥
I worked at Saint Bernadine's Hospital right across the street at that time. I remember all the people over there but had no idea that's where Randy was buried. RIP Master Guitarist Randy😎🤘
Always struck me as the 'craziest story' in rock n' roll, been a rock fan since the day I was born, and always knew the stories, but this one kinda takes the cake. #offtherails #crazyplane
I lived in Leesburg during this horrible time. Some of us were at a party not far from Calhune's. We were supposed to goto the concert. Which was canceled. We saw the plane flying around. Then we heard a loud crashing sound. We didn't know or realized what had just happened until the next day when it hit the news. It was a sad day.
This was sad man Randy Rhodes was so young and such a great guitarist very tragic
As a guitar player, Randy was my number hero. I was 9 years old in 1989, first heard him and never looked back. Love him. When they ID'd him through his jewelry it was that RR ring.
Next to Zakk Wyld, Randy was one of my favorite and I believe in the top five greatest guitarists of all time so thanks for sharing this video..
I remember this like it was yesterday such a young life gone he was such a great guitarist he will always be loved and miss thxz Scott great job give ur doggie kiss for me thxz
Scott, thanks for this superb video account on the death of Randy Rhoads. I was around his age when this happened, but had no idea his mother lived until 2015. Rest in peace mother and son.
Thank you so much Scott this was wonderful
I remember when this crash happened. I saw quiet riot in concert (puff puff pass)
Wow!! Really cool video man! I really enjoyed it!!! 🤘🏻
A BLESSING SCOTT TO YOU AND YOUR HOUSE
Very well done my friend. All the years I lived in Ocala I never knew Randy Rhoads died in Leesburg. Thank you so much for this. It would have been nice if I was still down in Florida I could have got to see you again and we could have lunch. Thank you again for such a wonderful job and you be safe out there. See you later!
I’ll be there again soon my man!
Glad you came to SB. I have family & friends buried in that cemetery.
A gifted artist! Thank you, Scott ❤
I never knew this story.Thank you so much for sharing Scott ❤️✌️🏴
Even the cattle get excited when Scott arrives. They were wagging their tales and licking their chops. Lol. Great coverage. Thanks for your time consuming hard work & travel scott.
Thanks Scott,never knew all the details about the plane crash, I had a Ozzy/Randy tribute shirt I wore till it wouldn't fit anymore. Gone to soon. R.I.P....RR.
Nothing but deep respect for Randy. Musically a fenomenon. Hero for trying to get the plane away from crashing into the bus killing everyone, against the loss of his own life.. Ty, Scott-On-Tape. for taking us with you. 👍👍👍 ❤❤
Great Job! I said this to you on Instagram but I spent the 80's, 90's and current times at this Cemetery. I met his mother, sister and nephew whilst paying my respects. Thanks for the Vid.
Thank you for doing this video, unfortunately Randy had already passed when I first heard him play in about 87. From that day to this have been a fan and after 40 years he is still considered as one of the best, that shows the impact he had and continues to have. Incredible talent.
Super respectful video, top notch stuff. New subscriber from U.K.
Thank you for subscribing!
I'll never forget the day Randy was killed. A friend of mine dropped by to tell me what had happened, and I couldn't believe it. So glad to finally see where it the crash took place. But until now, I hadn't heard of Jerry Calhoun. And can't any info about him online. Great video!
Randy Rhoads RIP...I remember hearing about this plane crash ...hearing from Sharon talking about it. .sad 😢....too young so many artists in music pass to soon ....
Randy Rhoads is the reason I play guitar today he was a great guitarist R.I.P Randy Rhoads.
Miss His Guitar Playing So Much Randy Rhoads Lives On
It angers me the neglect & recklessness that led to their deaths, so senseless & tragic & preventable. RIP Randy Rhoads & the rest of the victims 🙏🙏🕊🕊. Great Tribute to Randy, Scott you really do a great job with these type of videos.
I was absolutely devastated when I heard the news of the crash and Randy's death. Years earlier a friend and I had shared a lunch table with Randy and one of his friends at a crowded Burger King in Hollywood, waiting for the next tour time at Universal Studios. I had no idea who he was at that time. Randy had a guitar case with him that had a black Gibson SG in it that he said he had just purchased at a pawn shop. A good while later after I had returned home to Ohio, I learned who Randy was and a little about Quiet Riot. Randy was now the guitarest for Ozzy and I paid much more attention to him. I couldn't believe I had met him at that Burger King a few years earlier. This accident was definitely tradgic and senseless. A great video here Scott!!!
RIP Randy!! Gone too soon!! Poor guy!! A senseless tragedy!! God bless him!! Great video my friend!! Your a sweet person!! Love you and your channel!! He has a nice final resting place!! God bless him!! Be safe!! Peace!! 💙💙💜💜❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢💖💖💖✌️✌️✌️✌️
Hi Scott how do you do? It's me Emma River greetings from Toronto Canadá to you 🇨🇦
Watched many vids of this incident over the years but this one is the best.Probably because you are a pop music fan and not a musician.Totally fresh viewpoint.Did you quote any of the books that are out there in the world about this accident?The bassist rudy sarzo has a book about it.FUN FACT..Ritchie Blackmore from rainbow/deep purple was touring the us and when in tn they had to change busses and drivers because the driver wanted to go on vacation.When ritchie saw the new driver ritchie ''saw his black aura'' and offered to pay the original driver double to keep him.That driver was the pilot of the plane.
I never knew the whole story....really sad ..unnecessary tragic deaths. Thank you Randy. Peace!🙋♀️😊✌❤💙💚💛
That’s terrible 😮May they Rest In Peace💐
Thank You...Randy found a very peaceful resting place
Love your videos Scott having just discovered you. Rhoads was a fantastic guitar player thanks for this excellent video. You have a new fan in Scotland !
Welcome aboard! Thank you!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. This man is a legend. I've been waiting for someone to do him the justice he deserves .. Thank you again. 😊
Very VERY Cool video Scott I love how you were able to tie the two locations together and also seeing all the familiar locations in San Bernardino such as driving through the Cajon Pass and even the cemetery its self. There is A Hospital in the background at the grave site where my Son Ryan and also Holly was born at. Ozzy would for many years come to Randys grave site for either his birthday or the day he died i forget which. Thanks for sharing this one with us buddy hope to see you again soon.
Holly was born in that hospital?? That’s crazy i was looking at it when I was there! Say hello to my little best friend and tell her I miss all of u but her the most! 🤣
@@SCOTTONTAPE I will let her know thanks Scott.
I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY ON RANDY AND QUIET RIOT.
What a tragedy. I will never get over losing Randy at 25 years old.
Tragic end to a young and talented man. He would be 66 years old now. I remember reading about this in Sharon's autobiography.
I met Randy's sister Kathy. She looks like him that have a wine store in burbank bl CA. It was nice to say hello. And quickly went on my way. That was the closest I've been to Randy Rhodes. Nov 2014 I live in Corona CA I was visiting friends in burbank . It was an honor to shake the hand of the sister of one of the greatest guitarist of all time ❤😢😊
I saw RR play, front row in Bham, AL...right in front of him. The third to last show he played.
The live album that was later released did no justice to what I heard that night. Had he lived he MIGHT have gone back to classical music, but I think he would have been an even bigger rival to EVH.
I will never forget that explosion of sound that I heard that night. It was unforgettable. RIP RR.
I didn't get to see Randy sadly cause the tragedy happened just a few weeks before the show at MSG. But I've heard loads of great sound board recordings from the last couple of months before Randy died and I totally agree that the live album didn't do him justice. There's way better shows and recordings they could have used. Max Norman.. The engineer and producer of Blizzard, Diary and Tribute also stated that the tapes they gave him for the Tribute album were not the best they could have given him and he had to clean up the recordings big time. Check out any show from the last couple of months with Randy and you'll hear some mind blowing recordings. Though I'm sure none can beat seeing him around the time that you did.
AN INSPARATION FOR ALL YOUNG PEOPLE THAT HIS STORY REMAINS A BLESSING SCOTT TO YOU AND YOUR HOUSE
a friend of mine in high school claimed to have his mothers phone number. He said she always answered his calls and was very accommodating and friendly answering any questions he had of Randy. RIP
Thank you for this video. ❤️🎸 RIP Randy Rhoads
THANK YOU FOR THE TOUR
Now time for this video! Scott , appreciate all the entertainment ! Wish I had your dedication , just a power company employee in SC but this stuff is better than anything on tv! Not great with words but do love this channel ! Be safe and thanks again for all the stuff u put out ! Take care !!!
Great vid! ❤️ Leesburg! And those cows looked skinny, maybe they were really hungry.
Loved this Video. Great Tribute to Randy and may his legacy keep going.
I was born and raised in Knoxville - never knew this story. Thanks for the video. Always well done, Scott.
Leesburg, FL is where my mom retired to, I had no idea. 👍
Randy was an incredible classical and rock guitarist, he was as sweet and as humble as can be and as Rudy has said and feels Randy was murdered, I agree. This didn't need to happen, anyhow may they all RIP!
