My brother Matt and one of his best friends, Mark, used to go to Randy's house and get guitar lessons for Mark and drum lessons for Matt, back in the Quiet Riot days. They were there constantly, even when not getting lessons. Matt told me many times that I need to get over there and watch Randy play "just for fun" as it was incredible. I never did get to meet him, but followed Quiet Riot and then, of course, Randy joining Ozzy, who I had been a fan of since Black Sabbaths first album. Matt and I were thrilled that Randy was with Ozzy, and we awaited each new album with great excitement. Every time Randy was in town, Matt would go over and hang out and listen to Randy tell stories from the studio and the road. My little brother became such a fixture in the Rhoads's house over the years, that when Randy died, his mom invited him to the funeral. I was devastated, but Matt was completely destroyed. He so looked up to Randy as a friend who always had time for him, this 14 year old kid. His talent was on the rise, and he is gone way too soon.
Also the bass player show here, Rudy Sarzo, was with Randy in Quiet Riot. Ozzie hired Rudy on Randy's recommendation. When they were with Quiet Riot, Randy talked his mother into hiring Rudy to teach bass at her music school. The two were close friends, Rudy went on to his own fame and fortune later joining Blue Oyster Cult, White Snake and others.
One of the best line ups of all time: Ozzy (Lead Vocals) Randy Rhoads (Guitarist) Rudy Sarzo (Bass) Tommy Aldridge (Drums) Watch them New Years Eve back in the day!!😁
One of the best bands ever. What I love about Ozzy is he would never sing over his band. The songs were arranged beautifully and he showcased the band and RR
I could not possibly agree more. That, or You Can’t Kill Rock ‘n’ Roll, although, I don’t know if I could watch it without having to leave the room for a minute.
I was a freshman in HS when Randy died. I cried for days and was depressed for months. This was a great loss of an enormously talented man. Still love listening to him now and I’m 52.
I just love the end....Ozzy with a big smile on his face just shaking his head looking at Randy like DID THAT JUST HAPPEN???? IS THIS GUY REALLY MINE?!?!?!?! lol RIP RANDY RHOADS The best there ever was and ever will be.
I remember this concert on MTV. I remember just sitting there with my bottom jaw on the floor, totally amazed at what this little blonde kid was doing on that bizarre looking V. I fell in love with Randy from note one. The best there ever was or will be, Randy Rhoads. Rest in peace brother.
@@prprod They may have shown it on MTV, not sure. But this was from a show in Canada called "After Hours". They played 4 songs. I remember getting a bootleg VHS of the whole show in a flea market back in like 1989
Saw Randy months before he died.....one of my 1st concerts....was stunned the 1st few songs at what he was doing with the guitar....they started with ' I Dont Know" and the opening riff was an Earth mover in my life musically........never had seen anything like him......I can still say that almost 40 years later.....RIP to all the young guitarists, gone too soon....
This has to be the COOLEST most melodic 3 part metal guitar solo ever played - and its live! And Randy is so relaxed he has time to sneak in a quick coffee half way through if he wished. Ozzy's voice is truly gorgeous in this song, especially in the middle melodic section. One of Ozzy's greatest ever performances - no doubt having Randy as axe man upped his game no end.
Still to this day whenever I hear a Randy solo i get tears! Been a fan since 1980...and always will be. I remember where I was when I heard the news. I had to sit on the ground right where I was and cried my eyes out. I was only 10 years old but the man was a huge influence on me to be the best I could be. 🤘🖤R.I.P. Randy forever!!!🖤🤘
Yeah, man. I was in the 7th grade, already had my ticket for the Portland concert. The ex-reform school kid, sort of the school bully (who had burned down our elementary school) burst through the school door into the hallway, looked right at me with tears in his eyes, and just said “Randy Rhoads is dead!” I think it was the first time I actually contemplated death. I still hate the f’ck out that day.
@@CatharticusX im 22 years old and the one musician that I wish were still alive is Randy. He's one of the few I would expect to keep making music the rest of his life. I cant imagine what he would have accomplished by now
Randy Rhoades was in Quiet Riot when they played at my high school around 1977. We had never heard of this band, but we did remember the guitarist was an incredible shredder, and the singer was a massive dork.
Seeing Randy live brings chills Taken away before before his prime Like your son This is not the best version of this song but to see your reactions brought real tears And yes... Ozzy was constantly amazed at Randy's talent and his playing was SO melodic Ozzy was a Master in the studio My heart for your loss My heart for your loss
My family knew Randy I was 10 in 1978 when my sister 6 years older than me . Took me to see Randy's band quiet Riot . I got the call the day he died before school . It took me years to get over it. I'm still not really
Happy to hear your a Rhoad's fan! I saw Randy in Vancouver in 1981, I was right up at the front of the stage and Randy was right in front of me the whole show, best concert I have ever seen.It was like everybody was standing still, completely blown away at what they were seeing, and just a note about this video, Randy is just taking it easy, when I saw him, his energy was through the roof, headbanging, jumping around, very badass.
I've been listening to this song since 81 and every time I hear it I always hear something new and different, Randy was one of a kind no one has made as much of an impact on the world as he, with so little of material to study, and study we all have, Randy Rhoades was the greatest teacher to generations of guitarists and musicians, His dedication and love of the instrument is greatest legacy. Long Live the Great Prince of Guitarists
I rode my bike to the place where the plane crashed back in March (2020). Place looks overgrown and abandoned now. I live in Ocala Fl about 25 miles from where it happened. Sad day for Rock and Roll.
My name is Justin and I’m from Australia it’s the first time I’ve seen you guys and I just think you are two of the most bravest people I’ve had the privilege to see so brave it will get easier I promise it does lots of love. The buzzers of oz..
Delores Rhoads said that 1982 tour with Ozzy wouldve been Randy's last tour as a rock n roll guitarists. He had intentions of getting a master's in classical guitar to teach others. There's only one saying that describes Randy's life and legacy, "randy came into my life like a bolt of lightning, and as such he was gone again." -Ozzy Osbourne
Some interesting things about that video shoot: 1) It was filmed early in the morning (which the band wasn't used to doing) 2) The band thought that they were going to be lip synching...but when they got to the television studio,they were told that it was going to be done live (which they weren't prepared for) 3) It was done live without the use of monitors (they basically couldn't hear each other) All of that and it still came out great.
I grew up with Randy in the same neighborhood. he ws older but i hung out with some older guys that followed him around the Valley and saw his club work back in the early days. my closest friend who a couple years older was realy affected by his death, they went to school and partied together. then he got into a street race crash and his girlfriend was killed so he just never recovered from losing people close too him. thanks Kel and Rich.
I'm not a subscriber and I rarely post, but Randall William Rhoads is one of my favorites musicians. Rich, so broken to know about the loss of your son Jared. To me, the simple fact that he embraced musical culture so deeply, makes him a superstar in my estimation, even though we never knew of each other's existence. I cannot compare the loss of a child, but I did lose my best friend while we were serving together. Jared is looking down, flying V in hand and smiling, knowing that you and Kel continue to press the message of love and music forward. Take care brother.
I'll never forget listening to the first few notes of "I Don't Know" back in the early 80's, a life changing moment for me. Randy was simply other worldly.
A crazy thing is that according to Rudy Sarzo Randy had planned to leave rock music after the Ozzy tour he died on. He was going to devote himself to his classical playing. It was a part of Randy Rhodes lore that whatever city Ozzy played in Randy would book a guitar lesson with a local classical guitarist to develop his skills in that genre.
I feel for yall. Back in the 90s I was friends with a band that played the clubs in Hollywood. One night after a set the band went backstage to relax in the dressing room. The bassist sat down on the couch and died. No drugs or alcohol was involved. Just died. It was crushing.
When my wife passed last christmas, it was hard. She died in nebraska, alone with only our 4 year old son in her company(her mother was at work) while visiting her family while i stayed here in Reno to work until christmas. She was 23. Well, i didnt make it to Omaha in time, and i never got to say goodbye or kiss her one last time. I was 1,247 miles away when she passed. And all i can listen to was this song as i crossed each state line hoping it was just a cruel joke. This song took on such a beautifully cruel meaning during that lonely, terrifying drive
Saw Ozzy in early 82. Effin awesome show. Festival seating so you stood where you could. I got to about 15 feet of the stage when the show started. House lights down, single spotlight on the stage. Obligitory smoke/dry ice rolling off the stage. Coffin stood up right in the spotlight and out popped Ozzy. One of the cooler entrances I've ever seen. The music rocked too!
That sounds like an awesome entrance! The best entrance I'd ever seen was Rob Zombie. I was a little further, about 50 feet, but still that's pretty close. Satan was up there on stage looking back and forth at everyone, then in a puff of smoke, it was Rob Zombie. As close as I was, I never saw the change. It was amazing.
How cool would it have been if Ozzy and Van Halen would had toured, the 2 greatest guitar players in history every night battling to be the best, would have been one for the ages!!!
Randy and Eddie battled it out for real on the Los Angele music scene, each in a house band (Quiet Riot and Van Halen) playing in clubs only a couple blocks apart. Randy and Eddie were classically trained from childhood, both by their mothers. Eddie and his brother Alex both won classical piano competitions as preteens.
Thanks for the replay of Mr. Crowley. Lovely to read so many comments about Randy. He was a sweet guy, and a guitar virtuoso who was hired on the spot at his audition for Ozzie and Sharon ♥️
So very sorry for your loss. Randy has always been in my top 5 guitarists. It was awesome to see him bring smiles to your faces. After all these years, he still brings a smile to mine to.
Just watched your reaction video for Ozzy's ordinary man and now I'm hooked you two are an amazing couple that has been through some dark times and didn't let it keep you from living life and loving ever minute of it you guys are awesome!!!!
So sorry for your loss. Lost my big brother in 2007 and he's still with me everyday, it's rough. But today I live on the positive things, the grief has passed now it's the missing part that is tough.
My 5 year old nephew was recently diagnosed with Epilepsy. He's always had motor problems but the seizures started and my sister(who I adore more than myself) was beside herself. The seizures are long and it is still in question what, if any, medications will work. I'm so glad you found each other to share the loss but also the love you had and have for Jared. Again, love you guys.
God bless, I am so sorry for your loss. no parets should ever have to outlive their child. Seeing your depth of love is same as I see in my parents who lost my little brother. Jared's flying V is amazing sitting between you two
Again I'm sorry for your loss, and love the fact that you have his guitar and have even named it after him in his honor, 😍 it... Having said that, I've 💖'd been a huge fan of Randy Rhodes and at 35 yo, I have always wanted to and often told myself that one day I'll learn how to play guitar, Well that day has arrived, and last month I just picked up a new Jackson JS32 Randy Rhoads signature series (Ivory) V, after I decided that if I'm Ever going to learn to shred I had better get with it 😁 I mean I am brand new at guitar but dedicated/motivated and though I might not be able to "Shred" per say quite yet, I can and will say that in a months time, I have progressed way further than I ever thought that I could have at this point, but the best part is, I'm already reaping the benefits, mentally, spiritually, in ways that I couldn't even imagine or explain as I'm writing this... I shouldn't have waited so long, let that be a lesson to anyone out there who can relate, get yourself a guitar, doesn't have to be anything special, and if you looked online (Amazon) you just might be suprised of the affordability of a quality guitar...🙄😒😞🤷♂️😁🎸🤘✌
This seems to be the only live video of Randy playing with Ozzy. Back in the '70s and '80s apparently nobody cared about cameras at shows. So there were dudes just going to shows with those shoulder-mounted cameras and filming them. There's some amazing stuff out there from these hobbyists. I always hoped that one day someone would unearth a lost video tape of a Randy-era Ozzy concert. So far it hasn't happened.
No man we didnt have that back then this is way before we were still using 8 tracks lol video cameras where the size of a chevy but it still rocks saw them and maiden good show
Never got to see Randy Rhoads unfortunately. But in the 70's I saw the original Black Sabbath lineup with Ozzy along with Blue Oyster Cult. It was the Black-and-Blue tour.
I read a lot about Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947) back in the early '80s, an interesting guy to say the least. He was an occultist, poet, writer, prophet and so on. He received mystical teaching which he transcribed over a period of 3 days. I read his book "Diary of a Drug Fiend" on how he kicked heroin addiction. Really strange character.
sorry for the lost of your son randy rhoads the reason i learn the guitar omg he a guitar god and very sick how he mix the classical guitar licks on metal small man with small hands big sound wow
I still GET *Goosebumps* 40 years later as it was my very 1st concert Feb 1982 Riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati Ohio. I've seen 1000+ Concerts since and I've never seen anyone as Great on Guitar since. LOL I'm not kidding at all I'm serious. Randy is in Heaven giving Jimi Hendrix lessons. My dayseen him at riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati Ohio open up for the Monkees. Let me tell YOU He's A#1 The Duke on Guitar. People who think he's not #1 I want them to play The *King Biscuit Flower Hour 1981 Randy's Best Work to this Date. Also people don't know he invented the Jackson Guitar along with Grover Jackson and was so Modest he didn't want absolutely anything or credit for this Feat.
My dad seen Jimi Hendrix open up for the Monkees. Also let me add that the Tribute album I bought in 1982 and it was called *Bats Head Soup* and was the only $20 album sold at the entire humongous Record Expo' s all year
When Ozzy was auditioning guitarists Randy was the last one of the day and Ozzy said as Randy came in he was a skinny kid with long finger nails and as he was warming up Ozzy knew that he found his guitar player
Randy Rhoads played with his soul. 🎸
My brother Matt and one of his best friends, Mark, used to go to Randy's house and get guitar lessons for Mark and drum lessons for Matt, back in the Quiet Riot days. They were there constantly, even when not getting lessons. Matt told me many times that I need to get over there and watch Randy play "just for fun" as it was incredible.

Awesome! One of my buddies took lessons from Randy as well! Randy is a God on the guitar!
My all-time favorite guitarist! 🤘
Same here!🤟🤟
🤘
Sean Entrikin the absolute reason I ever picked up a guitar 🙏
Mr Crowley ,great example, full on satanist and baby sacrificer ok let's celebrate the guitar work,...,
I can see the pain that's still there as you sit with your son's guitar. My heart goes out to you both.
amen
@@ryann8680 such cute people! 😔
Oh my god. I did not know that's what happened. Explains a lot.
Amen. God bless you both
One of the best line ups of all time:
Ozzy (Lead Vocals)
Randy Rhoads (Guitarist)
Rudy Sarzo (Bass)
Tommy Aldridge (Drums)
Watch them New Years Eve back in the day!!😁
think that was Don Airey on keys, too.
One of the best bands ever. What I love about Ozzy is he would never sing over his band. The songs were arranged beautifully and he showcased the band and RR
i agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don Airey
the only guitarist that gives me shivers up my spine,he has the most melodic solos ive ever heard, to me the best of this genre ever
I'm so sorry for your loss, I almost lost it everytime you look at that guitar. May you both find peace. Randy was the goat period.
Diary of a Madman, you will not be dissapointed
I could not possibly agree more. That, or You Can’t Kill Rock ‘n’ Roll, although, I don’t know if I could watch it without having to leave the room for a minute.
Diary of a madman is my all time favorite song by Ozzy. Great lyrics and songwriting!
I was a freshman in HS when Randy died. I cried for days and was depressed for months. This was a great loss of an enormously talented man. Still love listening to him now and I’m 52.
The guitar God of all Gods!! He was a master and will always remain my all time Fav guitar player, Respect and love to you two for showing respect
I just love the end....Ozzy with a big smile on his face just shaking his head looking at Randy like DID THAT JUST HAPPEN???? IS THIS GUY REALLY MINE?!?!?!?! lol RIP RANDY RHOADS The best there ever was and ever will be.

The Randy Rhoads show, featuring some guy named Ozzy on vocals.
This has to be the COOLEST most melodic 3 part metal guitar solo ever played - and its live! And Randy is so relaxed he has time to sneak in a quick coffee half way through if he wished. Ozzy's voice is truly gorgeous in this song, especially in the middle melodic section. One of Ozzy's greatest ever performances - no doubt having Randy as axe man upped his game no end.
Simply....the best guitarist ever !
Randy Rhoads was INCREDIBLE. Ozzy has had some great guitarist since but none to the caliber of Randy Rhoads.🎼🎶🎵♥️
I don't know, I was a fan of Randy when he died but Gus G. Can shred with the best of them
Still to this day whenever I hear a Randy solo i get tears! Been a fan since 1980...and always will be. I remember where I was when I heard the news. I had to sit on the ground right where I was and cried my eyes out. I was only 10 years old but the man was a huge influence on me to be the best I could be.
🤘🖤R.I.P. Randy forever!!!🖤🤘
Yeah, man. I was in the 7th grade, already had my ticket for the Portland concert. The ex-reform school kid, sort of the school bully (who had burned down our elementary school) burst through the school door into the hallway, looked right at me with tears in his eyes, and just said “Randy Rhoads is dead!” I think it was the first time I actually contemplated death.

Eddy Van Halen was envious of two guitarists, Dimebag Darrell of Pantera, and Randy Rhoads.
I've heard (and played) this solo literally hundreds of times.. and it still can move me to actual freaking tears!
Randy Rhoades was in Quiet Riot when they played at my high school around 1977. We had never heard of this band, but we did remember the guitarist was an incredible shredder, and the singer was a massive dork.
Ozzy said the first time he saw Randy Rhodes play he thought he was hallucinating, he was so good.
RIP Randy Rhoads
Randy was such a little guy, but what a massive sound! As a guitar player myself he's still a huge influence today!
Seeing Randy live brings chills
Taken away before before his prime
Like your son
This is not the best version of this song but to see your reactions brought real tears
And yes...
Ozzy was constantly amazed at Randy's talent and his playing was SO melodic
Ozzy was a Master in the studio
My heart for your loss
My heart for your loss
So good!! Randy was so incredible!!!🎸🔥🤘🏼🤘🏼
My family knew Randy I was 10 in 1978 when my sister 6 years older than me . Took me to see Randy's band quiet Riot . I got the call the day he died before school . It took me years to get over it. I'm still not really
Whoa. So sorry for your devastating loss. What a gift to so many though.
I can see the pain in your eyes, your son is up there with all those legends shredding. you guys are awesome!

Randy was so damn good. It's like he knew when to play with melody and then tear it up and make it all flow. never a dull moment in his solos!

Having said that, I've 💖'd been a huge fan of Randy Rhodes and at 35 yo, I have always wanted to and often told myself that one day I'll learn how to play guitar, Well that day has arrived, and last month I just picked up a new Jackson JS32 Randy Rhoads signature series (Ivory) V, after I decided that if I'm Ever going to learn to shred I had better get with it 😁 I mean I am brand new at guitar but dedicated/motivated and though I might not be able to "Shred" per say quite yet, I can and will say that in a months time, I have progressed way further than I ever thought that I could have at this point, but the best part is, I'm already reaping the benefits, mentally, spiritually, in ways that I couldn't even imagine or explain as I'm writing this... I shouldn't have waited so long, let that be a lesson to anyone out there who can relate, get yourself a guitar, doesn't have to be anything special, and if you looked online (Amazon) you just might be suprised of the affordability of a quality guitar...🙄😒😞🤷♂️😁🎸🤘✌
Wow this broke my heart!! Sorry for your loss!!
Randy HAs been my guitar hero fro nearly 40 years. We miss you Randy.
He’s the reason I got a guitar on Monday.
bless you two
Favorite solos all time
I can’t even imagine the decibel level in that room. Two 100 watt Marshall’s at full volume plus keys, bass, and drums.
Randy... 💕
This seems to be the only live video of Randy playing with Ozzy.
Back in the '70s and '80s apparently nobody cared about cameras at shows. So there were dudes just going to shows with those shoulder-mounted cameras and filming them. There's some amazing stuff out there from these hobbyists. I always hoped that one day someone would unearth a lost video tape of a Randy-era Ozzy concert. So far it hasn't happened.
No man we didnt have that back then this is way before we were still using 8 tracks lol video cameras where the size of a chevy but it still rocks saw them and maiden good show
Never got to see Randy Rhoads unfortunately. But in the 70's I saw the original Black Sabbath lineup with Ozzy along with Blue Oyster Cult. It was the Black-and-Blue tour.
we all ❤ you both and rest in peace Jared
I read a lot about Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947) back in the early '80s, an interesting guy to say the least. He was an occultist, poet, writer, prophet and so on. He received mystical teaching which he transcribed over a period of 3 days. I read his book "Diary of a Drug Fiend" on how he kicked heroin addiction. Really strange character.
Brilliant song
sorry for the lost of your son randy rhoads the reason i learn the guitar omg he a guitar god and very sick how he mix the classical guitar licks on metal small man with small hands big sound wow
Best rock guitarist that ever graced us with their presence

I still GET *Goosebumps* 40 years later as it was my very 1st concert Feb 1982 Riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati Ohio. I've seen 1000+ Concerts since and I've never seen anyone as Great on Guitar since. LOL I'm not kidding at all I'm serious. Randy is in Heaven giving Jimi Hendrix lessons. My dayseen him at riverfront Coliseum Cincinnati Ohio open up for the Monkees. Let me tell YOU He's A#1 The Duke on Guitar. People who think he's not #1 I want them to play The *King Biscuit Flower Hour 1981 Randy's Best Work to this Date. Also people don't know he invented the Jackson Guitar along with Grover Jackson and was so Modest he didn't want absolutely anything or credit for this Feat.
My dad seen Jimi Hendrix open up for the Monkees. Also let me add that the Tribute album I bought in 1982 and it was called *Bats Head Soup* and was the only $20 album sold at the entire humongous Record Expo' s all year
My HEART is with you...
Randy Rhoads make a new guitar style!! Now we call it Metal guitarstyle!!
😢. Sorry for your loss. ❤️
Randy was the goat without question
Randy's guitar on fire, seems crying. Rest in peace our guitar hero 💔 never forget you
Greatest music video on RUclips, Period!!!
CHEERS JARED! SHRED ON BROTHA!
Your son is jamming with Randy as we speak.
When Ozzy was auditioning guitarists Randy was the last one of the day and Ozzy said as Randy came in he was a skinny kid with long finger nails and as he was warming up Ozzy knew that he found his guitar player
