RIGHT?! I couldn’t agree with you more! I heard a rumor that Sharon put the Kibosh on any footage of RR ever getting out. But who knows if that has any truth to it 🤷♂️
@@MastersofShred If that’s the case Sharon needs to stop being stingy with the footage and share to all of us before “ Weeee die “ I could get hit by a bus tomorrow or die from The Modelo/virus 😂😷 so give it up Sharon 😤
NO disrespect to Randy one bit BUT, there were and are PLENTY of guys that were and are just as good as him. Influence and legacy after his death are another thing entirely. I'm talking about sheer musicianship, dexterity, and songwriting...there's too many to list.
I met Randy when he was playing with Ozzy, i was a bellman and walked in the room and he was playing a classical guitar! Im a guitarist and couldnt believe it, i asked politely " can you show me the solo to crazy train?" He smiled and said sure and ripped it on the classical! Gave me his autograph , saw him in concert that night! What a nice human being. God bless him. Peace.
That probably show how nice of a guy he really was. Most other guitar rock stars would of yelled "Get the F out of here!" lol Great story man, incredible really.
@@Superjet113 It was some of the highest parts of my life. Meeting Randy Rhoads! It would be like meeting jimi Hendrix for people in that era . I'm blessed. Very small in stature , but so cool.
Can only imagine what kind of great things he would have went on to do, cut short by a tragic accident. Truly a legend in the very short time we got to experience his music.
By modern standards, Rhodes is somewhat cacophonic, quite slow, and very sloppy during his live solos. Much better on record, but nowhere close to "the master of shredding."
I live close af to Duluth and I've seen the pictures of Randy at local bars in Duluth when that concert happened, it got shared in our local group. Im so jealous dude thats sick.
Man I love Randy. He never had that Rockstar I'm better than you mentality. Just a genuine guy. He clearly got it from his mother Delores who's was absolutely wonderful as well.
Those who were born in the 60s got to watch these bands grow up together that is legendary on up through the 80s. We were all part of that and I was little and young a true blessing to grow up with these bands I’ve seen them all, but Randy Rhoads was my favorite. I would love to live those over again. Those were the best days of my life and whoever grew up in that era could say the same. God bless you all. It was really fun. I miss it bad there’s nothing today, that can touch it🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️🎸🎸🎸
What makes this and many Randy solos so special is that they were real. Yes, there was a missed note or something experimental that landed out of key at times. This was very early when 70s blues based pentatonic solos were evolving into shred, and this solo is representative of how that bridge was coming together. Randy was experimenting. And it was beautiful. The critics on here who offer negative opinions don't seem to understand the full context. Randy had exceptional talent and potential, and this clip is such a wonderful treasure that lets you see these moments unfolding.
@@totc6196 because of the mxr distortion plus pedal he used with quiet riot and ozzy, and also your right the combo of pedal and altec speakers he used was his foundation
My first amp was a Peavey Bandit. To date I live that amp. The sounds I would get. It had a push/pull thick. It was awesome for feed back. I felt it was great for playing Hendrix. Randy is my favorite guitar player ever. He was so amazing. Not sure why this video says Suicide Solution. He did that song with Ozzy.
..I forget how emotional I get listening to Randy's younger solos. How they eventually blossomed into the greatest songs...sends chills down my spine..
The way he is able to just keep a steady rhythm and smoothly transition from one part of the solo to another is amazing. ❤Love and appreciate his work. 😊
Hendrix, Eddie, and Randy will never, EVER be copied or replaced. The music world is shit right now without our Rock Icons. As far as voices are concerned, Chris Cornell sang his ass off and contributed heavily to music. R.I.P. all that have gone on to the after-life playing and singing to the Most High.
There are many great players out there right now. Just the infrastructure, A&R, producers, management, how things were back then to refine and elevate ONLY a few of the best to the top, that is gone. Now we all can put our materials out to the entire planet, humans' viewports have become saturated. Nothing, not even the best can stand head and shoulders above the next, because the next best is very close. That part has always been true, it's just that back then that crop of top notch players were relegated to staying in the clubs...the world never heard of them. I've known three very top caliber players, they got there before age of 19, amazing, only a relatively few people got the chance to witness these guys. That was the 70s, early 80s, things are so different now. In the environment now the top players can not seem to be mystical / magical, like back then. We have to listen in the current environment with this in mind. The infrastructure that created the magic of that era is gone.
There's an Aussie band called Southern River band..the guitarist is like an Aussie EVH. He's pretty good. Check them out. Thu do a song called stan qualen
I had to Go Back after I read this. Absolutely was Dee. Amazing film footage too. Anytime I hear or see him playing it takes me to a better place. Amazing.
@@jfo3000 Exactly!!! Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan....yes, they went to bed with the guitar and woke up with it, ( to build hand strength and synchronization between the left and right hands) but they also had that one in a million ears too!!! Tom Sholz did the whole album (Boston) himself practically....and ALL these guys (Randy included) were in there early twentys!!!
Hmm. Frankly, that sounded like a mess. Randy was technically -- by today's standards -- a decent player and of course quite influential historically but this live performance didn't show why at all.
Randy Rhoads was a freakin Guitar God. Eddie VanHalen can't even be eligible to wipe his ass. This little solo or actually jam no whammy bar and the pinches are not over done. Just a tone switch and pedal with perfect pinch harmonics. To me Eddie VanHalen is like a Jimmy Swaggart to an actual Guitar God like Randy Rhoads. So hard to account Randy to Quiet Riot now. Randy made Ozzy after Ozzy was kicked out of Sabbath. LOL. Talk about a Shooting Star huh? A reference to a Bad Company song. He lit a lot of sparks in kids to be axmen.
@@daveweed2765 THANK YOU! This what i've been saying. Van Halen butchers songs with his solos. I'm always loving a Van Halen song til his solo comes in and it sounds like if you put every animal at a zoo in one cage. Takes me out of the song completely.
@@leop1547100% With Randy you wanted his solos to go on forever whereas with Eddie you couldn’t wait for them to end. Randy was brilliant and a true composer and musician.
Listen to 15yr old Randy jamming on youtube. Ronson feedback and pick slides on the treble strings. If you don't see the description of the video you'd think Rono walked in on the jam, playing a fire breathing guitar on the edge of feedback. Then Randy does the fast narrow vibrato and separates himself from Rono...but the influence is there. Plus as mentioned above, Randy just about cloned Ronson's image. I don't mean this with ill will. I'm glad someone paid tribute to the great Mick Ronson, especially that it was Randy. And Randy played on the verge of feedback too, like Ronson. Two of the greatest ever.
You should check out the solo to Ruiner by Nine Inch Nails off the album Downward Spiral. It's one of my favorite solos, and it is quite unusual. Skip to 2 55 if NIN isn't your thing.
Rhoades is the Master!!! Every guitar player in the face of the planet Earth listen to Rhoades and is impressed with his playing... If there not, they are lying....
A bit of an overstatement. From a technical standpoint Rhodes has been eclipsed numerous times over now by successive generations. What he has that stands the test of time is his songwriting. It's very enjoyable and in a sense impressive but hardly in the way you seem to be suggesting.
He studied classical guitar for many years. Ozzy was actually wondering "why the fuck his management was wanting him to check out a 22 year old 'classical guitar teacher'."
wow, check that young guy out man he’s really rocking it. This guy is going places Randy Rhoads at least we thought he was until 1982. This guy would’ve been special so young so talented wasted for nothing. Just wanted to take pictures for his mother so beautiful and kind. and that was the end. Rip Randy🤘🎸😇❤️😇
Randy is one of if not my favorite guitarist of this genre. A few years back, my husband and I and a couple of his family members went to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland (I’d love to visit it again). I saw one of Randy’s outfits behind glass. This man was SO petite! But from his fingers came profound and huge melodies!
I’m a big fan of Randy Rhoads he was a brother of mine taken to soon we’re all brothers and sisters and he was my brother at 17 years old. The guy was amazing and still to this day is no one can touch Randy Rhoads not Zach Wylde Jakie Lee no one he didn’t want to go on the plane but he did anyway to take pictures for his mother something extraordinary happened on the plane and he was in the middle of it. Rest in peace, my brother, Randy Rhoads you live on brother.🎸🎸💔💔🎸🎸
I love how he went on to perfect this solo when he played with OZZY. The basics was already there but he stepped it up a notch to the most killer solo ever with Oz, plus this had the early version of DEE in it.
I have a Peavey Bandit 112 with the matching cabinet and it's the best pedal platform amp I have ever owned hands down...and the clean channel is great as well....now the distortion channel isn't all that but usable...the bandit I have is 80 watts but when you hook up the extension cabinet it becomes a 100 watts and it's freaking loud...I must say that when Peavey did the trans tube technology they really did there homework especially for the era that these amps came out...as far as a solid state amp goes they are the best in my opinion and they are built like a tank...I know guys back in the day who gigged with them for years and years...love Randy... Randy was one of a kind and a true innovator....we all sure miss your genius Randy...🎸🎸🎸
He was incredibly good at bending the neck for being such a little guy it's not easy to do just goes to show the skill set he had, I hate the word talent nobody has a special talent, he grew up in a musical family his mother was a music teacher which obviously helped. He was an amazing guitar player taken out in his prime. R.i P Randy Rhoads
Randy was on another Level, his guitar playing was just awesome, I don’t even think Hendrix, or Eddie Van Halen could come close to him, Randy was just a bad ass Guitar player, r i p Randy.
Randy was like a sponge with the guitar constantly learning. The way he would even admit to "hey I'm still learning , want to learn more and don't want to stop here". He was a very honest guitarist never said look at me I'm a guitar god or whatever. He hated doing solos like this though. He said it was just all flash for the kids The him at 25 years old well let just say this I'm 42 playing guitar and taking classes since I was 8 and teaching when I was older. I'm not even there yet lol. He would literally compose guitar note/chord progressions that are just extremely complex and thorough and they fitting the music so perfect. He used alot of chords not just power or bar chords or basic abcde chords for his rythym parts which was mainly what everybody else was doing in the heavy metal slash hard rock sounds back then . To this the day he still amazes me.Some in the rock industry back then most of guitarist didn't attack the learning of different styles.His fills were even brilliant he was substuite whatever chiors with a harmonic of that key. He used the aeolian scales,Hungarian scales and the Dorian scales.Hell he would use all three in one song. I can't stop talking or saying enough about Randy Rhoads.
@@sid3859 I've seen you play . I like messing with guys like you getting the all worked up you can finger tap realy good lmao. yeah let see you come up with stuff like Mr. Crowley and diary of a madman. Probably don't even know how to read music. There two types of guitar guy the ones that say Eddie was the best they probably can barley play guitar or sound average because all they spent there time on getting his amp sound vs learning or the ones who say Randy was and there probably respect the guitar and actually take time to learn to read music and play stuff instead of divebombs and smoke and mirrors stuff. Oh yeah and finger tapping thing he did always lol my 7 year old nephew can finger tap too. I will say one thing Eddie did and still has the best amp sound but far a the knowledge of guitar he is not on same planet as Rhoads.
David Wooderson yes Sir, he was a talented musician, some people are are just born with God given talent, I play guitar myself, been playing for a long time, but nowhere near the level Randy was, he was just an Awesome guitar player.
Eddie is my favorite, but it pisses me off when he says Randy ripped him off! Randy was his own beast and a scholar of music, he didn’t need to rip anybody off. But I imagine he was Eddie’s only competition!
Randy said he hated it cause he wanted to do a lot of different things but all anybody wanted to see was him play like Eddie and do tapping he hated that shit
Saw Randy at the Salt Palace during the Diary of a Madman tour. Some doves were released as part of Ozzy's stage show. As they flew around stage, couldn't help but think Ozzy might kill one (all the propaganda bs), but one landed on the head stock of Randy's guitar. He played the whole song while smiling at the bird. After the song he took it off and gave it to one of the stage hands. Was very cool and symbolic, I think there was a picture of the occurrence in the newspaper. Years later after Randy's death, the story was told to Ozzy by my friend who had been at the show and now had premium tickets to a late 80's Ozzy show. He was getting a photo with Ozzy after the concert as part of his ticket. Ozzy, short on time and being Ozzy, listened to the story about Randy and the bird, and then with no comment at all to my friend he looked at the photographer and said, in a complete Ozzy voice, "take the f**king picture" Ozzy being Ozzy, lol! Randy shredded as usual in that Diary show, never forget Crazytrain live. Ozzy gave Randy tons of attention on stage that night, I think its true, that had a pretty good relationship.
Laughing at some of the office chair guitar critics on here..Randy was a great guitar player end of story.
A Dimond forsure, one of the best! Gone to soon!
So I can watch really good live footage of him in 1979, but with ozzy none to be found anywhere!!

It has been confirmed that there is more footage of Randy from the Diary of a Madman tour.
I love how he brutally attacks the strings with speed and dexterity while being surgically precise and clean! No one plays like him to this day!
Everyone is obsessed with sweep picking these days..
Randy could send many shredders packing their bags. Just a phenomenally, gifted musician.
I love how brutally queer he looks with that faggoty bow tie he's "rockin". Quiet
Riot forever. Oh wait....

We couldn’t agree isn’t you more! Randy was a whole other level of player 🙌🎸🔥
Naw, he was 1 of a kind !
I got to see Randy live in Duluth Mn during the Diary of a madman tour just before he died. He was the master of shredding.
i saw him also
By modern standards, Rhodes is somewhat cacophonic, quite slow, and very sloppy during his live solos. Much better on record, but nowhere close to "the master of shredding."
Yeah sure. Okay. Stay off the pipe.

The way he is able to just keep a steady rhythm and smoothly transition from one part of the solo to another is amazing. ❤Love and appreciate his work. 😊
You can really tell he loved classical music

Never got to see Randy's full potential, only FN 21 when we lost his talents, his metal chops inspired many bands
Randy really created that he was a master of his own time he was good the way he played indeed
He raised the bar for so many of us
He SET the bar! And it can go no higher! RIP RR
Him, paul gilbert and uli jon roth are my favorite guitarist.
wow! the legendary Rhoads,never see this video,thanks!
It's the laughing gas solo
He was a masterpiece of rock gentleman teacher and awesome person my old friend Randy Rhoads
He was starting to play Dee at the end
I believe you're right. It is "Dee" towards the end. Thank you for pointing that out.
I had to
Go
Back after I read this. Absolutely was Dee. Amazing film footage too. Anytime I hear or see him playing it takes me to a better place. Amazing.

He said it was just all flash for the kids The him at 25 years old well let just say this I'm 42 playing guitar and taking classes since I was 8 and teaching when I was older. I'm not even there yet lol. He would literally compose guitar note/chord progressions that are just extremely complex and thorough and they fitting the music so perfect. He used alot of chords not just power or bar chords or basic abcde chords for his rythym parts which was mainly what everybody else was doing in the heavy metal slash hard rock sounds back then . To this the day he still amazes me.Some in the rock industry back then most of guitarist didn't attack the learning of different styles.His fills were even brilliant he was substuite whatever chiors with a harmonic of that key. He used the aeolian scales,Hungarian scales and the Dorian scales.Hell he would use all three in one song. I can't stop talking or saying enough about Randy Rhoads.
@@sid3859 I've seen you play . I like messing with guys like you getting the all worked up you can finger tap realy good lmao. yeah let see you come up with stuff like Mr. Crowley and diary of a madman. Probably don't even know how to read music. There two types of guitar guy the ones that say Eddie was the best they probably can barley play guitar or sound average because all they spent there time on getting his amp sound vs learning or the ones who say Randy was and there probably respect the guitar and actually take time to learn to read music and play stuff instead of divebombs and smoke and mirrors stuff. Oh yeah and finger tapping thing he did always lol my 7 year old nephew can finger tap too. I will say one thing Eddie did and still has the best amp sound but far a the knowledge of guitar he is not on same planet as Rhoads.
David Wooderson yes Sir, he was a talented musician, some people are are just born with God given talent, I play guitar myself, been playing for a long time, but nowhere near the level Randy was, he was just an Awesome guitar player.
Randy Rhoads Rocks...🌈🤙
Eddie is my favorite, but it pisses me off when he says Randy ripped him off! Randy was his own beast and a scholar of music, he didn’t need to rip anybody off. But I imagine he was Eddie’s only competition!
Randy said he hated it cause he wanted to do a lot of different things but all anybody wanted to see was him play like Eddie and do tapping he hated that shit
Instantly recognizable - rough around the edges, atonal bends, chromatic runs, precise alternate picking. Yep.
Saw Randy at the Salt Palace during the Diary of a Madman tour. Some doves were released as part of Ozzy's stage show. As they flew around stage, couldn't help but think Ozzy might kill one (all the propaganda bs), but one landed on the head stock of Randy's guitar. He played the whole song while smiling at the bird. After the song he took it off and gave it to one of the stage hands. Was very cool and symbolic, I think there was a picture of the occurrence in the newspaper. Years later after Randy's death, the story was told to Ozzy by my friend who had been at the show and now had premium tickets to a late 80's Ozzy show. He was getting a photo with Ozzy after the concert as part of his ticket. Ozzy, short on time and being Ozzy, listened to the story about Randy and the bird, and then with no comment at all to my friend he looked at the photographer and said, in a complete Ozzy voice, "take the f**king picture" Ozzy being Ozzy, lol! Randy shredded as usual in that Diary show, never forget Crazytrain live. Ozzy gave Randy tons of attention on stage that night, I think its true, that had a pretty good relationship.
awesome! :)
Soooo cool Randy is your 1st uploaded vid! He was the bridge between EVH + YJM.
Loved Hearing that different version of the Dee song he wrote for his mom at the end, heard the first few notes and it def sounds like it

Back in the day that was beyond impressive. Today, not so. My 17 year old neighbor did an audio snapshot of this note for note on a 100 dollar guitar.
