It's so cute when Lemmy is comforting Rudy after his emotional speech. ❤ 🤟 And I love the fact that here we are, 40+ years later, talking like Randy just died yesterday. Such an amazing talent and such an amazing human!
@@tiffanyroseangeles34 if it wasn't for Delores randy most likely would not have went for it without the push from his mom thank god for the Rhoads family entirely
He deserves it...first i heard Randy when i was 14 years old. He impressed me so much. Now i`m 51 and still listen his works with Ozzy) R.I.P. a legendary man!!!
Randy Rhoads was a 6 string gunslinger. Both innovative and a master of his craft. I met him back in 1980. He was a down to earth guy. I will always treasure that moment in my life. God bless you Randy.
An interesting story that I heard his brother Kel share. He remembered sitting at the supper table when they were children, I forget how old he said Randy was but it was a single diget, and only had been playing guitar for a few years. Delores looked at Randy and told him that he was gifted and was going to grow up to be an incredible musician. He said Randy sat there with his mouth open stunned that she said that and almost broke down in tears. They are a family of talented musicians that in Randy's eyes were masters of their craft. I thought that pretty much summed up how she saw her son
Rudy Sarzo was unquestionably Randy's closest musician friend. They'd been in several bands together, toured together, they seem to be similar personalities. Rudy's pain is always the most raw in any Randy documentary; because he knew Randy the best of anyone outside his own family.
That was the most beautiful induction for any human being!! Randy Rhoades to me was and still is the best guitarist I've ever heard!! I could only imagine how much more he could have given his fans and family!! R.I.P Randy and God bless Delores and Randy's family! ❤️😁👍✌️
Rudy was a big part in all the good and not so good times. He was a key part in the middle of it all..R.I.P. Randy.....you are an ICON in my music living SOUL as all the band members
I remember so clear. I was in 10th grade. I found out in 1st period that Randy was gone and the upcoming show at Madison square garden was gonna be cancelled. We had tickets. I wish I would've kept them as memorabilia. But i was stupid and opted to return them to Ticket Tron ( b4 it was ticket master) for a cash refund.
Another comment I Vastly appreciate is the person that said Randy Was Such An Incredible Human Being! In today's society that aspect and component of humanity is often overlooked as everyone wants to be a star and that's all they focus on primarily!! Randy touched countless lives with his talent and personality!!! We Love You Randy Ripping Rhoads❤
I really really appreciate Brody asking the crowd who hasn't seen Randy live!!! I had tickets to see Randy with my best friend David before tragedy struck .I cried and wept the entire show and I tear up at just the thought of it as Randy had a huge huge impact on me and my best friends family, my other family! I was hurt and angry at the very very inner core but Randy's death found a way to soften my heart and soul and challenged me to become a better guitarists in my own right! My other influences were Vivian Campbell, Richey Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Tony Iomi and Countless Others!! I'd spend hours upon hours with my untrained trained ear Lol working to develop my own style that would enable me to impact other players and people!!! All of these 43 years later the goal is still the same.Note: I've attended Approx 180 Concerts and my last show was Sabbath Reunion tour Portland Memorial Coliseum I either 06/08 It's been a while!!!! I Love You All and I Appreciate You Celebrating and Admonishing all of Randy's Achievements!!! It's a beautiful thing to see Delores standing there with her beautiful and graceful smile! I wish I could wake up one day and discover it was a bad dream and everything was normal and ok again❤ By the time Randy had died at 13 years of age I'd seen most things that your typical average 13 year old should not have seen but like Kelle and The Rhoads fam I've found a way to move forward. My Father Marvin KLAMPE in his last days of lung cancer told me Son as long as you have hobbies and interests you'll never have a boring or lonely day in your life! That was some of the best advice he ever shared and you know what? He was right!!!! Metal_Kev_LA 2020-2024/25
Dear Randy..whereever you are..and if you should read this..im 19 years old and im a huge Fan of you for years now..i build a huge rand Rhoads with the jackson demmelition in Polka dots and your Photos..you are my Idol and man i love and respect you as much as someone can..thanks for all the music,riffs and inspiration..greetings from germany with love,god bless you and the Rhoads family.
It's so nice to see Delores. She was such a beautiful lady. We all know how close she and Randy were. And say what you will about Ozzy and Sharon, they really did love Randy. Hard to believe his last name was spelled incorrectly-I hope that got fixed. An honor well deserved. Randy Rhoads, always missed, always loved.
Lemmy is a class act too, his support to Rudi is so touching, these gentlemen of rock and metal are a dying breed sadly. Randy was a massive part of my teenage years and now in my 40's he still is and always will be
I saw Randy live with Blizzard of Ozz in Calgary Canada in 1981 They opened with I Dont Know on the white Les Paul. I still have the program. Miss him.
It's surprising how some of the monsters of the stage have the biggest hearts isn't it? I thought the same thing when i saw Lemmy put his arm around him.
When I was 22 years old, Ozzy Osborne was coming to the Sam Houston Coliseum on February 17th (1982). Since first hearing Ozzy’s “Blizzard of Oz” solo album, his new guitar player Randy Rhoads had become my guitar hero. I didn't know much about him, nor did I even know what he looked like, because Ozzy's album pictures really didn't distinguish who was who in the band photo. To this point, I had assumed that the dark-haired guy (Rudy) was the guitar player I had recently come to idolize. Anyway, my girlfriend Mindy and our housemate Chris quickly found a way to score some tickets for the show. I figured if we showed up at the arena early enough, we might get a chance to meet the band before the show. It was a warm afternoon in Houston when Chris, Mindy and I arrived at the concert hall. We made our way around to the loading dock side of the building to look for tour buses or any other sign of band life. The road crew had already arrived and was setting up the elaborate stage for the “Diary of A Madman” tour. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were able to simply walk in and observe at our leisure without anyone hassling us. This went on for the better part of the afternoon. As we loitered about the premises, I befriended Randy’s guitar tech. He informed me that the band would be showing up around 5pm to do a soundcheck. In the meantime, he invited me into a makeshift dressing room to have a look at Randy’s guitars. They were sitting on guitar stands right in front of me. Just feet away from my hands were Randy’s signature cream Les Paul with the snakeskin strap, along with three custom made “V” shaped guitars. His polka-dot V, white pinstripe V and a black one, the latter two sporting the name “Jackson” on the headstocks. At this point, I was not really familiar with his guitars. And this was also long before Jackson Guitars became a household name. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued by them. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to bring a disposable camera with me. I asked the guitar tech if I could take a few pictures of the guitars. He didn’t mind, so I began to snap away. Just as I was photographing the assortment of guitars, a rather large and in charge road manager walked in on me and freaked out. “What the f#$k are you doing in here??? Gimme that efffing camera, those are custom made guitars!” he barked. The guitar tech tried to quell the big fellows concerns, but he would have no part in negotiating any compromise. “Gimme the effing camera if you wanna see the show” he demanded. As a 22 year old punk kid, I was in no position to argue, so I reluctantly gave the Paul Bunion looking troll my stupid camera. The guitar tech apologized for the road managers over-reaction and allowed us all to stay and hang out. Like clockwork, the tour bus pulled into the loading dock at 5pm. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Randy Rhoads soon stepped out. Randy was wearing blue jeans, a black pleather jacket with no shirt under it with a white towel draped around his neck. Absent from the group was Ozzy, who apparently didn’t do soundcheck with the rest of the group. I quickly made my way over to who I thought was Randy and asked for an autograph. Slightly unprepared, I only had a small piece of paper that I had found nearby for them to sign. Rudy signed one side of the paper and Randy Rhoads signed the other side. I managed to make some small talk, at first thinking that Rudy was actually Randy. Up to this point, (As I said, I wasn’t entirely sure what Randy actually looked like). “Man, you’re a great guitar player” I said. Rudy looked at me sort of puzzled and pointed me in the direction of the actual Randy Rhoads. Needless to say, I felt like a douche. Randy was very unassuming, soft-spoken and frankly humble. He happily complied with my autograph request. He had to lean the small piece of paper onto the side of the cinder block wall in order to write his signature. He simply wrote, "Randy Rhoads". After several minutes, the band disappeared inside the arena and we followed along like lemmings. During their soundcheck, I stood directly in front of Randy Rhoads as the band ran through the song “Mr. Crowley” in its entirety. Randy was playing his cream Les Paul and never sounded better. I was in awe that afternoon, watching this soon to be legend warming up for the impending show right before my eyes. Except for my girlfriend Mindy, Chris and myself, (and a few road-crew guys), there was nobody else in the arena. A few short weeks later, Randy, twenty-five years old, was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. I was davestated. His autograph remains framed on my studio wall to this day. Also, a few weeks earlier on March 5th, John Belushi died of a cocaine overdose. You could feel a chill in the psyche of the masses around Houston who had just absorbed the news of both of their untimely deaths. Both tragedies were a stark reminder of my own mortality...... I'm nearly 65 now.....Can you imagine what would have been captured on my disposable camera had i been allowed to keep it??? That tour manager did a great disservice to the world. I hope he's reading this! Jeff Dyer - Uncle Sally
Wow , it’s October 7th , 2018 , we since have lost Delores and Lemmy , and Randy is still remembered and missed as much as ever !! I was fortunate enough to see him live on my 16th birthday , January 24th , in Chicago , for the “ DIARY OF A MADMAN “ tour !! I remember hearing the tragic news on the radio that day. My friends and I , we were all so blown away. We couldn’t believe it. R.I.P. RANDY and mom , DELORES , we love and miss you !!
Rudy miss him so much its really sad he left us so early. I never got to see him but I still feel a connection with Randy through his music. Thank you for uploading this, It made my day.
Around 2:39, you may have forgot to mention V.I.P.s in attendance, his mother, Delores Rhoads, and his sister,Kathy, and brother, Kelle, right there "in the front row!" Rudy Sarzo, you are a class act!
WTF! I kept waiting for him to introduce his Mom, Sister, and Brother! We Burbank people have way more class! I really don't think Randy would have been any less successful, Ozzy or not!
@@lovelisascooking7640 at 25 randy needed ozzy to get his name out there so ppl could hear the genius behind ozzy, but eventually his wishes were not to be in spotlight, so he would have been a teacher and they are the heros who never get credit
@@annerhoads8491 nice last name anne, i could not see Kelly though, unless that was him behind his sister, but didn't look like him, i forget the year of this so idk
I must say Thank You for making this possible Randy even though I’m a drummer inspired me to not only be a better player but also to pay attention to not only what I play but more importantly the other instruments that were in all the musical situations I have played in !!!Randy was an incredible player that made me appreciate guitars players contributions to,well music in general!!!Thank You also for the tribute and including his wonderful mother Delores Rhodes,Such a sweet lady!!!
How can they not introduce Dee and Kathy and Kelle ? Delores looks so proud. I would love to make the brionze or the wax baby. theflyingbouncehouse is where I carry Randy and we will land, My sympathies to the Rhoads Family. I was studieing classical when the Blizzard of Ozz came out on the radio, Randy made my validation in great composotions such as classical and other melodic style. I have picked up my soloing again . Randy continues to motivate me.
You are so right!! Keller , Dee and Kathy were very important. Kelle is a treasure trove of knowledge about Randy and hard rock history. He was a big part of Quit Riot!!
Just truly amazing and emotional when u see Lemmy consoling Rudy by putting his arm around his shoulder. These two r truly such wonderful, respectful people with a ton of class and also two of the greatest bad ass guitar players in this world.
Thanks the footage of Randy's induction. I can't believe some of those in the audience. What a bunch of rude, loud, obnoxious assholes! They showed no respect towards Randy's family and friends while being there at a ceremony which was to honor Randy's work and life.
I must say the screamers in the back are quiteannoying, to me there is a time a place, I mean a scream maybe here and there but they kept on it. i dont know is it me ? Zak was quite upset with the misspelling you can tell.
Let me say this,if not for randy,ozzy,fly in high again, over the mountain, my love for metal I'd never found,I love Randy& OZZY,TILL MY DEATH, HE STILL ROCKS NOW,I NEVER STOP PLAYING HIS MUSIC, 2018 STILL ROCKING RANDY RHODES,& OZZY
I’m glad to see that Sharen and Ozy were kind enough to give Dalores Roads a plack with Randie’s name on it. That was so Kool that they did that. You can see Roody Sarzzo was touched as was Lemie from Moterhed. Invey Malmsteen was there too.
Lot of muscians learned and taught at Musonia and this is the result of one piece of that . Ill bet there is a lot more to the impact Randy and his family and students and inspired have made on the impact of music . There is a lot more to this story then is being told . Humble .
@@Creativeworxmotionmedia I knew that they would fix the error. I'm sure that Dee , Cathy and Kelle were told that it would be correct before being it was hung right away.
I will live and die here in Los Angeles, CA & Surrounding Area/via 503 and one day when I die I will be reunited with Randy and The Fam and I'll Fix Everything and Make Everything Alright!!! I'll be the same person I am today but I will live in another time and be with my Brother Randall William Ripping Randy Rhoads❤❤❤
How did the people in charge not catch the misspelling of Randy's name? Do they not have people employed that's responsible for proofreading the finished product ahead of time before the big reveal? There is simply no excuse for this error.
Bob Daisley should have been there too. Most people have no idea that it was Bob that wrote Ozzy's biggest hits like Crazy Train because Sharon has screwed him out of any and all things to do with the music much like she did to Jake E. Lee on Bark at The Moon. Read the book "For Facts Sake" for the real story!
Yeah I heard she did the 30 year anniversary albums with Studio musicians so they won't have to pay royalties to the old bass and drummer Sharon's account but without her there would have been no Ozzy and yeah that bass player wrote all the kick ass songs I guess it's like that in any business other people take credit
Cause of Sharon! It's a fact that Sharon had professionally filmed a bunch of shows on the Diary tour with a 3 man camera crew yet won't release any of them for one of two reasons..A.She doesn't wanna put the money into production, advertising etc and doesn't think she'd make enough money back. Or B... she's waiting for Ozzy to die so she can cash in on the shows! Bob Daisley also has videos of Randy as part of the Holy Grail. The Osbourne family had the opportunity to purchase it from him.. beautiful recordings and film's..yet they offered him peanuts for it and he turned them down. Meaning..the incredible stuff he has will likely never be seen or heard.. except for the little minute clips he's posted on his website.
@HesTNTonPMS as much as I love the guitar playing in BLIZZARD it was YNGWIE that led the progression of shred metal and neoclassical scales. It was the last step that needed to be taken in electric guitar and it has remained the last step. That's a big deal . Yngwie pre 1990 has some very good material on his albums .
GIVE CREDITS TO BOB DAISLEY, LEE KERSLAKE, AND RANDY RHOADS FIRST. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CREATED AND MADE THE BLIZZARD & DAIRY ALBUMS BOB DAISLEY WROTE THE LYRICS ON BLIZZARD, DAIRY, BARK, ULTIMATE ALBUMS (95%)!! THE BAND, MADE THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS, NOT OZZY. THEY STILL NOT PAYED TO THIS DAY BEEN A BIG OZZY FAN SINCE '82 ..BUT THIS ISSUE NEEDS JUSTICE..BEFORE GIVING ALL CREDITS TO OZZY.. IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT BOB, LEE, AND RANDY TOO GOT SCREWED BY SHARON & OZZY. REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU ROCK A TRACK FROM THESE ALBUMS
...at the time me and my mates thought all those great lyrics were written by ..Ozzy...Bob Daisley..what a legend of those 2 albums..I could’ think believe it when I bought a fresh CD of..Diary....and the drums and bass sounded different and the I read that it was all b.ssBob and Lee had been replaced...I was F’n pissed...and as you posted...the $ situation even after they pulled the fake albums...still hasn’t been rectified.Very low.RIP..Randy Rhoads.
@@cosmicman621 The Osbourne family is such pieces of crap. They're so full of shit they completely left out Bob and Lee from the 30 years after the Blizzard documentary... making it look like Rudy and Tommy were there from the beginning. Bob, Lee and Randy saved Ozzy's career and life.. and that's the thanks they get!
Chap from Marshalll Amps sounds just like Chris Tarrant. More importantly is that Randy was a sensational guitarist who should never have died the way he did. His way of playing and the sound he got nade me want to pick up a guitar and learn to play like him. I never could play like him even if i were able to practise for a thousand years.
when Rudy spoke I could of easily cried aswell. what a humble guy... I don't think that Rudy has any kids..? read Rudy's book. ppl have said over the years Sharon and Randy slept together before she really became Ozzy's girlfriend leading into marriage in July 1982. Randy didn't come out and tell Rudy but he hinted at it
It's so cute when Lemmy is comforting Rudy after his emotional speech. ❤ 🤟 And I love the fact that here we are, 40+ years later, talking like Randy just died yesterday. Such an amazing talent and such an amazing human!
The Metal Community is a big family of brothers and sisters!!
his mum's smile is worth a million
She looks lovely helped him get his start! She looks super proud!
@@tiffanyroseangeles34 if it wasn't for Delores randy most likely would not have went for it without the push from his mom thank god for the Rhoads family entirely
Randy's Mom. Always smiling. A light soul
He deserves it...first i heard Randy when i was 14 years old. He impressed me so much. Now i`m 51 and still listen his works with Ozzy) R.I.P. a legendary man!!!
Randy's mother is so joyfully excited and happy... She is 1 proud mother...
Randy Rhoads was a 6 string gunslinger. Both innovative and a master of his craft. I met him back in 1980. He was a down to earth guy. I will always treasure that moment in my life. God bless you Randy.
Nice to see his mother so happy!!
Randy was the light of her life. I can't imagine the pain she has carried with her. She does indeed look happy here.
An interesting story that I heard his brother Kel share. He remembered sitting at the supper table when they were children, I forget how old he said Randy was but it was a single diget, and only had been playing guitar for a few years.

rip delores
@@thedarklord6130 ❤
Given a choice, I would bet that Randy would choose his mother smiling like that over being inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame
My heart bleeds for his sweet little mother. What pain she has had.
Rudy Sarzo was unquestionably Randy's closest musician friend. They'd been in several bands together, toured together, they seem to be similar personalities. Rudy's pain is always the most raw in any Randy documentary; because he knew Randy the best of anyone outside his own family.
He taught bass at Randy’s mom’s school as well.
yep and one of the best dudes youll find which is why i always loved Rudy as a person and musician hes got those great qualities like Rhoads had
Rudy and Randy were like a powerhouse together. Absolute legends
That was the most beautiful induction for any human being!! Randy Rhoades to me was and still is the best guitarist I've ever heard!! I could only imagine how much more he could have given his fans and family!! R.I.P Randy and God bless Delores and Randy's family! ❤️😁👍✌️
what's that thing, it's suppose to be Rhoads, not Rhodes on the plaque ?
Randy rhoads is the Best guitarrist have ever existed, so good composing and playing, soft delight for ears
@Otto Krackinfahrt Is your comment necessary?
Lemmy and his band are the only ones here who have continued Integrity throughout their careers rest in peace Lem
Amen!!!
God bless that wee woman, so proud of her son ,and mentioning the fans, fair play to her
@Otto Krackinfahrt WTF....?
almost had tears on my eyes after watching Rudy so hurt about his friend it's a fresh scar
Yeah if you've ever lost a brother in music that you truly got along with, it just never quite goes away. I feel for him.
Rudy was a big part in all the good and not so good times. He was a key part in the middle of it all..R.I.P. Randy.....you are an ICON in my music living SOUL as all the band members
still hurts as if he died yesterday. such a tragedy ... Randy you will forever be missed , rest in peace brother

Now That is Rock & Roll ,,,,Rock On !!! RIP RANDY 🙏🙏🖤🤘
I got to go to Rock Walk in 06, and was so psyched to see Randy’s legacy there man.
They forgot to mention Nuno Bettencourt who is also in attendance to pay his respects. A lot of great guitarists in that crowd.
Hi Shane
IvanMtl I was wondering if anyone else noticed. Nuno Nuno Nuno!!!
YOU AINT LYING!!!
@o o your not a real player then, that just showed everyone
Big YJM obscured the view
Wow , it’s October 7th , 2018 , we since have lost Delores and Lemmy , and Randy is still remembered and missed as much as ever !! I was fortunate enough to see him live on my 16th birthday , January 24th , in Chicago , for the “ DIARY OF A MADMAN “ tour !! I remember hearing the tragic news on the radio that day. My friends and I , we were all so blown away. We couldn’t believe it. R.I.P. RANDY and mom , DELORES , we love and miss you !!
My kid made a handmade card for Randy’s mom who sponsored her school. Proud moment ☺️
Rudy miss him so much its really sad he left us so early. I never got to see him but I still feel a connection with Randy through his music. Thank you for uploading this, It made my day.
The palpable pain in Rudy’s voice at the end is really heartbreaking
Around 2:39, you may have forgot to mention V.I.P.s in attendance, his mother, Delores Rhoads, and his sister,Kathy, and brother, Kelle, right there "in the front row!" Rudy Sarzo, you are a class act!
Yes I miss them all 🎸🎸🎀🎸🎸
How could you forget his mom, sister and brother?
WTF! I kept waiting for him to introduce his Mom, Sister, and Brother! We Burbank people have way more class! I really don't think Randy would have been any less successful, Ozzy or not!
@@lovelisascooking7640 at 25 randy needed ozzy to get his name out there so ppl could hear the genius behind ozzy, but eventually his wishes were not to be in spotlight, so he would have been a teacher and they are the heros who never get credit
@@annerhoads8491 nice last name anne, i could not see Kelly though, unless that was him behind his sister, but didn't look like him, i forget the year of this so idk
I must say Thank You for making this possible Randy even though I’m a drummer inspired me to not only be a better player but also to pay attention to not only what I play but more importantly the other instruments that were in all the musical situations I have played in !!!Randy was an incredible player that made me appreciate guitars players contributions to,well music in general!!!Thank You also for the tribute and including his wonderful mother Delores Rhodes,Such a sweet lady!!!
A classical guitar player
Whit a Powerful Metal Blast ❤ really define Heavy metal for ever
Tks RR and Ms Dolores Rohads ❤
AWESOME! RIP brother Randy.
Great music is timeless,I’m proud of the guys that stood behind you” I believe you Randy were there.
Nuno Bettencourt "behind Yngwie" was there... He's also a very talented guitarist..
Love 💕 all of are supportive Sharon,your speaking from your heart,….
Randy’s mummy is 🔥 today proud of her beautiful son
Such great memories of Randy, thanks so much for sharing this
His tapping style is amazing.
Thank you for sharing the video. It brought tears to my eyes. May his soul rest in peace.
How can they not introduce Dee and Kathy and Kelle ? Delores looks so proud. I would love to make the brionze or the wax baby. theflyingbouncehouse is where I carry Randy and we will land, My sympathies to the Rhoads Family. I was studieing classical when the Blizzard of Ozz came out on the radio, Randy made my validation in great composotions such as classical and other melodic style. I have picked up my soloing again . Randy continues to motivate me.
I know! WTF!
You are so right!! Keller , Dee and Kathy were very important. Kelle is a treasure trove of knowledge about Randy and hard rock history. He was a big part of Quit Riot!!
Rudy is such a sweetheart.
Just truly amazing and emotional when u see Lemmy consoling Rudy by putting his arm around his shoulder. These two r truly such wonderful, respectful people with a ton of class and also two of the greatest bad ass guitar players in this world.
Thanks the footage of Randy's induction. I can't believe some of those in the audience. What a bunch of rude, loud, obnoxious assholes! They showed no respect towards Randy's family and friends while being there at a ceremony which was to honor Randy's work and life.
Soo bittersweet 💔
Long live Randy Rhoades. God bless you ❤. You will be missed.
Anybody else tear up a little??
Listening to Rudy was tough !
😰
I just couldn't hold my self .m crying 💔
You did
@@1998gst4611 I know
I must say the screamers in the back are quiteannoying, to me there is a time a place, I mean a scream maybe here and there but they kept on it. i dont know is it me ? Zak was quite upset with the misspelling you can tell.
I'm very surprised to see Ozzy and Sharon and the same proximity of those little people screaming
The host should of told the people screaming to shut up.
Let me say this,if not for randy,ozzy,fly in high again, over the mountain, my love for metal I'd never found,I love Randy& OZZY,TILL MY DEATH, HE STILL ROCKS NOW,I NEVER STOP PLAYING HIS MUSIC, 2018 STILL ROCKING RANDY RHODES,& OZZY
Malmsteen and Zack were also huge influences and favs of mine!!!
Awesome footage
simply FANTASTIC
We love you Randy.
We love you Dee.
⚘💜⚘💜⚘
I was at his last concert in Knoxville Tn. and was shocked the next morning when learning of the plane crash.
It’s time you deserve it. Well done Randy RHOADS!😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
OMG they really did misspell his name! Amazing to see Lemmy actually get teary eyed during Rudy's speech...
The Brothers rocked to Randy Rhoads too! Wow what a talent!
I’m glad to see that Sharen and Ozy were kind enough to give Dalores Roads a plack with Randie’s name on it. That was so Kool that they did that. You can see Roody Sarzzo was touched as was Lemie from Moterhed. Invey Malmsteen was there too.
Too funny...I wonder if they ever fixed that huge blunder?
Lot of muscians learned and taught at Musonia and this is the result of one piece of that . Ill bet there is a lot more to the impact Randy and his family and students and inspired have made on the impact of music . There is a lot more to this story then is being told . Humble .
It's Rhoads, not Rhodes :(
+MJ they fixed it before it was hung on the wall....
@@Creativeworxmotionmedia I knew that they would fix the error. I'm sure that Dee , Cathy and Kelle were told that it would be correct before being it was hung right away.
I will live and die here in Los Angeles, CA & Surrounding Area/via 503 and one day when I die I will be reunited with Randy and The Fam and I'll Fix Everything and Make Everything Alright!!! I'll be the same person I am today but I will live in another time and be with my Brother Randall William Ripping Randy Rhoads❤❤❤
Awesome ..n a legend
19:53 Ozzy jokes to Sharon not to hug for too long. 🤣
How did the people in charge not catch the misspelling of Randy's name? Do they not have people employed that's responsible for proofreading the finished product ahead of time before the big reveal? There is simply no excuse for this error.
Bob Daisley should have been there too. Most people have no idea that it was Bob that wrote Ozzy's biggest hits like Crazy Train because Sharon has screwed him out of any and all things to do with the music much like she did to Jake E. Lee on Bark at The Moon. Read the book "For Facts Sake" for the real story!
Bob wrote the lyrics. But not the guitar parts. That's all Randy.
Yeah I heard she did the 30 year anniversary albums with Studio musicians so they won't have to pay royalties to the old bass and drummer Sharon's account but without her there would have been no Ozzy and yeah that bass player wrote all the kick ass songs I guess it's like that in any business other people take credit
Amazing!!
LEMMMY
The Prince of Darkness doesn’t age!
Why isnt there a full on PRO SHOT show of a live performance on DVD of RR playin with OZZY?
There is one that I know of but it was never released not sure who owns it...
Cause of Sharon! It's a fact that Sharon had professionally filmed a bunch of shows on the Diary tour with a 3 man camera crew yet won't release any of them for one of two reasons..A.She doesn't wanna put the money into production, advertising etc and doesn't think she'd make enough money back. Or B... she's waiting for Ozzy to die so she can cash in on the shows! Bob Daisley also has videos of Randy as part of the Holy Grail. The Osbourne family had the opportunity to purchase it from him.. beautiful recordings and film's..yet they offered him peanuts for it and he turned them down. Meaning..the incredible stuff he has will likely never be seen or heard.. except for the little minute clips he's posted on his website.
She doesn t want Randhy Star get shadows on his husband....simple
ozzy is a good guy…he still love randy and his family
Started crying watching Rudes choke up!!
RR 4 EVER
Who's that dude talking? White shirt long hair?
Thats Stu from LA radio station KLOS
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘Randy Rhoads!!
Look at Lemmy and Malmsteen (u forgot Nuno!)
... I recall seeing Malmsteen at Country Club in Reseda - Lemmy stood in audience right next to me
thank you so much to Yngwie for being here right up front
Yngwie still in my opinion as s guitaridt and bass player remains a game changer and king of metal guitar the best.
@@markr.devereux3385 I don't think so, when you compare a man such as Randy to a man such as Malmsteen, Malmsteen does not even register
@HesTNTonPMS as much as I love the guitar playing in BLIZZARD it was YNGWIE that led the progression of shred metal and neoclassical scales. It was the last step that needed to be taken in electric guitar and it has remained the last step. That's a big deal . Yngwie pre 1990 has some very good material on his albums .
GIVE CREDITS TO BOB DAISLEY, LEE KERSLAKE, AND RANDY RHOADS FIRST. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO CREATED AND MADE THE BLIZZARD & DAIRY ALBUMS
BOB DAISLEY WROTE THE LYRICS ON BLIZZARD, DAIRY, BARK, ULTIMATE ALBUMS (95%)!!
THE BAND, MADE THE FIRST TWO ALBUMS, NOT OZZY.
THEY STILL NOT PAYED TO THIS DAY
BEEN A BIG OZZY FAN SINCE '82 ..BUT THIS ISSUE NEEDS JUSTICE..BEFORE GIVING ALL CREDITS TO OZZY..
IT NEEDS TO BE TOLD THAT BOB, LEE, AND RANDY TOO GOT SCREWED BY SHARON & OZZY.
REMEMBER THIS WHEN YOU ROCK A TRACK FROM THESE ALBUMS
Right on Jason 👍👍
especially when you hear how consistent was this band live: ruclips.net/video/BvJ_cL63rZ0/видео.html
...at the time me and my mates thought all those great lyrics were written by ..Ozzy...Bob Daisley..what a legend of those 2 albums..I could’ think believe it when I bought a fresh CD of..Diary....and the drums and bass sounded different and the I read that it was all b.ssBob and Lee had been replaced...I was F’n pissed...and as you posted...the $ situation even after they pulled the fake albums...still hasn’t been rectified.Very low.RIP..Randy Rhoads.
@@cosmicman621 The Osbourne family is such pieces of crap. They're so full of shit they completely left out Bob and Lee from the 30 years after the Blizzard documentary... making it look like Rudy and Tommy were there from the beginning. Bob, Lee and Randy saved Ozzy's career and life.. and that's the thanks they get!
Chap from Marshalll Amps sounds just like Chris Tarrant.
More importantly is that Randy was a sensational guitarist who should never have died the way he did. His way of playing and the sound he got nade me want to pick up a guitar and learn to play like him. I never could play like him even if i were able to practise for a thousand years.
Wow they tried RANDY RHOADS it's very easy to spell it and hi mis RHOADS Mom we miss your baby
Yngwie's wife telling him, "stand behind her!" (0:33) That's all that is to them. Promotion.
Yngwie is a classless douche
Googbotrot yngwie has passion and soul he is more humble than u think he gives credit where its due and loves music
Damn, they could have at least spelled Randy’s last name correctly
They eventually fixed the plaque. How they got it wrong I'll never know.
So im not the only one that noticed lol
Ozzy chomping on gum. Classy. Mis spelled name. Idiots yelling, LA class😅
Randy was a flash across the sky... and then he was gone. As Ozzy said, "Ya gotta believe in foolish miracles"....
He Didn't Say Nuno Bettencourt in the Audience?
Randy!!!!!!!!!
Obviously Rudy loved Randy as much as Ozzy!
I met Randy several times.
when Rudy spoke I could of easily cried aswell. what a humble guy... I don't think that Rudy has any kids..?
read Rudy's book. ppl have said over the years Sharon and Randy slept together before she really became Ozzy's girlfriend leading into marriage in July 1982. Randy didn't come out and tell Rudy but he hinted at it
