Randy Rhoads Remembered - Ron Bumblefoot Thal @ The Observatory, Santa Ana, CA 2014
To think that slash is the most famous yet technically deficient guitarist GnR ever had is a bit mind boggling. Bumblefoot and Buckethead blows him out of the water
Bumblefoot is so great. He can play the hell out of that double neck. The top neck is stainless steel with no frets, that's how he can make those whammy bar sounds and make it sound like a slide with just his fingers. Amazing!
its fretless
Yeah the top neck has no frets and is stainless steel. Bumblefoot did a guitar clinic and talks about it. Search Bumblefoot guitar clinic and check it out, it's pretty cool.
Damn!! Is it Tommy Cufletos and Rudy Sarzo?!
That accuracy on the fretless is insane! Bumblefoot is the man
It's not as great to me... He's incredible but out of pitch in a few places.
Still giving him credit for the amazing performance.
Noah Vanderwood It's live; this ain't his band... On that fretless neck --- your fingertip is the fret and it's micro, multi-mini-micro shit and it's so easy to be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction off... thus, 'out of pitch in a few places...' I'm not trying to make excuses - because he don't need it. I try not to judge at all - until I can look into a mirror and say that I, myself, have reached perfection...
Noah Vanderwood you're an idiot! nobody has ever heard of you.
RedroomStudios neither of you. the point?
Rofl, and I'm not allowed to have an opinion?
Get over yourself dude.
Ron Thal is a true guitarists / guitarists! His educational clinics are very cool too. Him and Paul Gilbert are the best at their clinics and shows because they are truly NICE guys, with no rockstar ego's of any sort. They don't drink or do drugs, and are just awesome true musicians! Also, Ron Thal is a very good singer.
I agree. Ron and paul are great guys. Right before he joined GnR my best friend an I went and picked ron up and took him to see Paul Gilbert with Mike portnoys Beatles tribute show at bbking bar in nyc. I could see how bad ron wanted to be the star on stage. Hes a super funny down to earth true musician.
Ronthal is one of the best guitarist on earth
You damn right!
Playing that solo on the fretless is nothing short of mind blowing.
He played it so clean, and still with the feeling. God damn Bumblefoot is the man.
That solo was almost like the studio version. Bumblefoot respect to you Sir!!!
So cool ! Ron is a master of the fretless guitar fingerboard. What a joy to watch and listen to him play. Rock on Ron!
I love he plays the harmony parts with chords!! Thats a bad man!
god damn ron thal is such an amazing guitarist. Him, Guthrie, Paul Gilbert, Phil X, and Nick Johnston, some of best guitarists on the planet right now
Solo on the fretless. Kickass.
RUDY!!! The man looks the same as when I saw him on the Diary tour in 1982!
Great playing. Nowadays learning Randy's material is a crucial part of learning the classics, like learning Bach or Mozart. It's unfortunate that the camera person didn't show his left hand. So many videos show the damn right hand picking, or in this case, out of focus background. We demand the left hand! Unless it's Jimi of course. Bumblefoot (!) is a wonderful player with a refreshing attitude and all the instincts of a good teacher. Thank you!
Ron is the man.
Plain and simple!!!
it's rudy sarzo on the bass guitar
Bumblefoot absolutely NAILED that. It was the closest to the original that I have heard up until the end. At that point, having established that he can pull it off note for not, he went on some of his own riffs on the same theme. Masterful.
Yeah, he does that. If you've heard his live cover of Comfortably Numb with Sons Of Apollo from the Plovdiv DVD, he absolutely nails the original and then adds another 2 minutes improv which is jaw-dropping. He is an incredible player and seems like such a cool, unassuming guy with no ego whatsoever.
Randy played it differently almost every time he did it live.
Ron nailed the album cover, note for note.
Then he expanded it....master class.
The thing is, it's not meant to be an exact replica of Randy Rhodes. If it was bumblefoot would just look like a cover artist, and I know after playing years worth of pretty much cover songs with gnr ( besides a few from Chinese democracy and some older gnr songs he made his own) it feels good to play other bad ass songs with his feels throughout. My honest opinion, there is only one Randy Rhodes but there is also only one Bumblefoot as well. He is an amazing guitar player in a day and age where most people are not. When you sit down and really think of new guitar players from the past 15 years, how many are this good?
Rhoads!!??
He fuckin' smoked every guitarist there.
Ron did justice to Randy's solos here...that's for sure.
Man that is so cool to see Rudy jammin on that with Bumble.
steve vai on keyboard...
For some reason Bruce Black isn't accepting replies to his comment, first off this is a tribute to Randy why would he be turning in his grave?
"Theres a japanese 8 year old kid on youtube who i think is more precise" That might well be true, but you have no idea if what you see is his first attempt of the day or his hundred and first, Ron has one chance to play this piece and what you see is what he did. I have heard lots of Blizzard of Oz bootlegs were Randy isn't brilliant but that takes nothing away from his brilliant recordings, Take a chill pill sonny and stop trying to be too cool for school
I liked what Bruce said .. But I have to agree 1- or 1000 you just never know.... at the same time that fretless stuff was crap...soon as he got back on the frets it sounded so much better... Just my Opinion....
Peace.
That's crazy on the fretless neck . Especially if you've tried to play a fretless guitar
Fuckin killed that lead. Wow...nice job Randy would be proud for sure
Its amazing how these great guitars players respect randy and the proof is this song, world famous names always play or at least try to play the solos of this masterpiece the closest randy did, man that is way to show some serious respct to one of the greatest, great work by bumblefoot indeed.
Rudy looking good like always,
Much more RESPECT..... got the White Marshall Amp....
Never, ever seen Randy play a double neck...... what is that? A PRS? Way after his time.....
Randy didn't need a double necked guitar...... just his Jackson RR1 or RRII, or his 73 Gibson.
Blasphemy !!!!
Vigier Guitars......Bumblefoot kills on fretless as well as the fretted.
Loved everything until the very end. I understand how hard it is to play a fretless guitar as I have studied slide for 20 years now. But it just didn't add anything with that crazy noise solo.
Reading the comments below, I thought this would suck. After watching it, I thought Bumblefoot did a great job. It rocked and was tons better than the Crazy Train version I heard with Tom Morello. \m/ \m/
Ron is the undisputed electric champion of the world.
buckethead.
Chris Lacey Nope. Bumblefoot.
Chris Lacey yea sorry mate, Ron devours ALL
Chris Lacey Agreed!!!!!
LOL...I have a few guys who'd like to say some things about that.
Let me introduce you to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Buckethead, Tony MacAlpine, Eric Johnson, Ritchie Blackmore, Randy Rhoads.......do I need to continue?
That guy really knows his tool...awesome ...bravo!!!!
I wanna see the fret board dammit..sick musician...
I would like to hear isolated guitar at 5:08, I suspect the answer to world peace is contained in those notes.
Wow Ron Thal, I don't think that the great Randy Rhodes could have played it that well in 2014. And it's not only the insane solos, the rhythm work was also superb.
There's no Guns N' Roses anymore, there's just Axl Rose LLC
Rodrigo still Slash couldn't tie Bumblefoot's shoes
Ask me if I give a shit. I made this post so long ago I don't even remember what the fuck I was thinking when I made it
Rodrigo with Bumblefoot being the Lambo
Thal rules, Rudy, a guy who, covers those songs well too... I like Rudy's covers of the Quiet Riot songs too blahahahahahahaha. Man, If Mr Thal stands beside you f... Love life.. It Ronald ** A way better person other then the guitar stuff. Love Ron Thal, amazing soul hearted...
Troy Ellis hey dumbass,you know Rudy was in Quiet Riot and Blizzard of Oz right?
Bumblefoot just told the world frets are useless.
Is that Robert Mason on vocals?
+robhalfordtate It looks like it to me
Mad Respect, killee set, tight Ass Fuck
Only If Randy knew that how much he inspired many people and his guitar solos are played all over the world everyday fuckin day.... Amazing playing bumblefoot..
Wow. What an amazing version of this song, and it feels so good to see Rudy really feeling it. Good for him!
Maybe someday I hope to meet Rudy, what a legend !
Holy shit bumblefoots chops are unmatched
nice very nice this guy really seems underrated to me
Love Rudy. He always has a killer tone and great playing.
that is definitely mr sarzo
what a treasure Guns n Roses lost
Dam bumble can play ... I'll be checking in to him more
A fucking beast!
Steven LeBlanc on keys there. Cool dude.
The guy can play anything.
Great performances by all, HORRIBLE filming (although sound was excellent) If they learned how to aim and focus a damn camera, it'd be just great ;) Oh, and some of the idiotic comments on here were amusing too, by the "experts" lol :p
would be good to film Bumblefoots's hands playing.... if the army of cell phones weren't in front of him.
Greg Lynn if it wasnt for the army of cell phones, there would be no video.
You can't miss Rudy or Ron ... so iconic you want to double-click them. Was that Brian Tichy on drums? Who did vocals and keys?
That solo on the fretless was fucking horrific. The tone of the guitar is crappy. Amazing player. Shitty tone.
I must have counted over 10 cellphones and cameras uglying up the video but the sound was awesome !! :~D
Awesome!.
Wow!
Ron this is awesome ! :)
RON,JHON 5,Just blow me away.oh yea I know jhon not there.Just sayin.Bumble amazing.
Usually you'd like to watch a guitarist's hands when he's playing instead of his face.
He is fucking amazing !...........................bumblefoot is the best in the world, at this moment in time.
ronny is great..he lived down the block from me...when we were kids...hes a couple years younger than me..i was 14 and had trouble figuring out over the mountain solo..i asked ron for some help..we went in his basement..his brother is an awesome drummer..so he has this variable speed turn table puts on the song at a slow speed..figures it out note for note writes it down on sheet music paper..plays it back at normal speed ..all on the first try...i was wtf.....holy shit....he can do it all
Bumblefoot rocked it
Kiko es una gran guitarrista!! Pero el solo de este tipo estuvo mejor!!!
nice job cameraman exactly the angles i wanted to see of the solo 🙄
It was filmed some years ago and sounds good. What camera did you use?
run thal puttin in work on the double neck, thats neat how he subs the fretless in for whammy parts
Incredible guitar work , vocals & drums sucked.
Sorry to say: but the fretless guitar part is so bad (5:00)....while Ron is a great player!
agreed!
+Chris Claeys yeah he's not hitting phantom frets right on
+Chris Claeys Ron's style is hitting sometimes a lot of atonal notes. I think it's his form of expression. Love this guy :)
he is great!
he comes off the rails a little at the end...but the first solo with the fretless is spot on!!!....have you ever played a fretless guitar? shit is hard....
Yes, I can hear it...
But I'd rather see it! Geez!
The singer should join backstreet boys🤣
I see Bumblefoot, I 👍
Holy crap! Bumble killed it!! Dead on! Great job!!
Rudy Sarzo I 💘 you so much Randys dear friend
That singer would nail lynch mob songs!
Wow ron nailed it. Liked it better than zakk wylde.
eh eh
Are you high? I mean damn!
Zakk wylde is a one trick pony. Not sure why people like him so much. He plays basically one box shape the whole fucking time with the shittiest tone in the world
Zach H
Zack is a country feel, at best southern rock guitarist. Agree with you, after Randy, I liked Gillis and JEL.
What an awesome version of a killer song!
기타리스트분 이름을 아시는분좀 가르켜주세요 영어가 좀짧아서 잘 모르겠네요
he is a great player
Dude Is a beast player, he did the tune justice..
Remember when guitar gods ruled the stage?
But can he play Smoke On The Water?
Bumblefoot is an ace guitar player but even he pales when it comes to RR's boots!
holy shit!!!!!!bumblefoot is amazing
Ron and Rudy melting faces
can someone please explain to me what is going on with the marshall amps behind the guitar player. There are 3 stacks. Are the other 2 just backups or is he playing stereo through 2 of them and the other is a back up? How is that working? Thank you.
probably using just one....stereo live is kinda futile imo...only people in the center of the crowd get the nice experience....those off to the sides would get weirdness....for all we know all 3 amps are for looks and he's using and axe fx...
Well all the amps are turned on and they have speaker stacks, so I would guess they are set up for different players as there are so many and they would all want different sounds.
Awesome version. Thanks for sharing
cameraman didnt understand the assignment
Brian Tichy is a fuckin BEAST!!!
This was brilliant!! Ron nailed it! \,,/
Why is he called bumblefoot ?
Bumblefoot is a badass on guitar
Steve vai on keyboards?😅
Why using a fretless guitar ??
Wish you could hear Rudy too.
,,,, Bumblefoot is the way!!!
this guy plays awesome!!!!
