Amen! I think Randy's riffage in many ways is very reminiscent of we know heavy metal, even modern metal today: heavily palm muted open strings, fast sixteenth notes etc., whereas I consider "old school" metal as "jam-y" and "bluesy" ala Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, older Whitesnake etc.
The young generation is the future of old school metal I'm born in 2003 and play some old school Slayer and Metallica on bass I'm shopping for an nice Glam Metal shredder of an guitar for I can play some riffs from Blizzard of Oz and early Glam Metal Pantera
Sounds better with 2 amps sounds a bit thin with one had an original MXR Disnortion + never heard a pedal sound like that, this reissued is not quite the same, lacks bottom
I saw Randy 2 months before he passed away. I was 17 and already a big fan of EVH. Randy blew me away and I went to school and proclaimed him the best guitarist around. I haven’t deviated too far from that opinion. To this day, the real tragedy of Randy’s passing is that he was just scratching the surface of his immense talent. His love for classical music and theory was going to connect him to an a new audience. I get chills thinking of what he might have done. Watching you gives me chills because other than your hair color, I feel like you capture his essence. Best of luck. I hope to see you play somewhere near Texas soon.
Finally, a real Randy disciple that can play this pedal. Great job. You have his playing down. I have been very disappointed by all the guys that bought these to flip them. The demos have been horrid. They should sell insurance.
that's what I was thinking KEEP ROCK ALIVE it doesn't have to be popular music it just has to ROCK glad to see younger kids playing ROCK kid has some chops have a good day and KEEP ROCKIN
@@jasperjones7458I met randy in 81, he showed me his pedalboard. He had the old "script" mxr distortion. What a shame mxr is trying to make money off of Randy .
@@littlewing62 Who's tone are you talking about... mine? I think I get a killer tone out of my cheap rig... my little Bogner Ecstasy Mini head sounds fantastic.
Same saw Randy Rhoads with Ozzy with zMotorhead opening 4/23/1981 he even played a Hamer checkerboard Explorer for one song, I never saw a picture or heard a word mentioned about that guitar. He was pretty fn awesome.
Cool. I was fortunate enough too witness Randy play in Denver, CO, June '81. It's great to see, and hear someone that has passion, and the ability to honor their hero. 🤘
Hey man, thank you for keeping classic metal alive. My good friend Mark passed right before people started getting back into the great guitar players in metal. I wish he could see your videos, and others like you. Not to mention the new equipment.
@@helio1055 It's tougher on this generation to become inspiring since they don't a direct influence like we (Gen X and Millennials) had. They certainly do have much more tools available to take it to the next level, but that's their challenge to be creative and successful. Pray for those that have the true duration to commit and dedicate to keep this genre alive; it deserves to stay alive for future generations. Dimebag and EVH carved out their unique tone(s) because they could, so future aspiring guitarists decide if you want to teach, be an influencer or a cutting edge influential guitarist? Take the challenge!
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate you taking the time to dial in everything like the delay times / chorus rate so many people miss with Randy. He would be happy to see this buddy. Keep it up!
Some of the best Randy tones I’ve ever heard!!! Keep it alive brother. It’s up to us to keep the tones and memory of one of the greatest metal guitarist of all time!!! RIP Randy and good job Damiano
I know you were gonna sound great when I saw the gear. Excellent work, man!! I got the Blizzard record in 1981 for Christmas when I was 10 years old. I was hooked on Randy's playing instantly. You nailed it!!
I've watched a few of your videos and you amaze me. I'm 57 and when Randy died it was heartbreaking but to see a young man so into Randy's playing gives me hope for this world. You Rock and you've earned a sub 👍
I think that's a GREAT idea! And this guy should play the part of Randy in it, you couldn't find anyone else who can 'actually' play Randy's stufd, and still have Randy's 'likeness'. Somebody with the bread, GET TO IT!! And 'Somebody Get Me A Doctor" while yoy're doin' that! 70s & 80s Rock & Metal, lots of good music from that time. Influences what I write and play today, after all these years still, and I'm in my 50s!! Keep goin', Kid, you "got it by the short & curlies", as my Dad woulda said. Keep improving, just like Randy and all the Pros did!
I REALLY enjoyed hearing your renditions of 'Believer' and 'Little Dolls'..........you really got the essence of those tones.......I was brought back in time to my bedroom at 13 yrs old totally mesmerized 👍
Dude, You have it all down. I am so glad to see you and others carrying the flame for a man who was such a massive influence of that generation of players who didn't want to jump on the EVH band wagon. I have been a huge fan of RR since he joined Ozzy in 1980 and just missed him live when Ozzy came to town for my first Ozzy show in late May 1982 on Diary tour. (Do the math. That's 2 months after the fateful day). Anyway, all this to say... The amps, the guitars, the board, the looks... God I love the hair man. Keep it going... R.I.P Randy... long live Damiano!!!
If you haven’t seen Damiano play live in his Randy tribute, definitely gotta make it priority. He will give you flashbacks for sure! Best Randy tribute throughout time and space. And I say that after 30 years of studying and playing Randy’s riffs. When this kid hit the local scene, I stopped playing so much Randy! lol he’s got it lockdown. Just my humble opinion That old Marshall sounds awesome as well!🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Beautiful just beautiful, thanks man you just made my day. Congratulations on getting a super rare rocking pedal, I miss out. I had multiple friends trying to help get me one but nope lol. I’m glad that you got one and not a poser. Long Live Rock and Roll LONG LIVE RANDY RHOADS. Great job
Just discovered your Channel. Nice chops! I remember when Randy first joined Ozzy back in the 80's. All my guitar friends and I loved hearing not only his shredding but also his song and riff writing abilities. To us, he was on a different and higher level than what we'd heard before. He put his being into all of his music. I got to see him twice Atlanta, Ga. It really broke our hearts when we heard the news of his passing. So happy to see younger people emulating him. Thanks for sharing!!
I've read the comments so I'm not gonna say anything different than everyone else has already said , but it is awesome to see that kids are picking up the art of guitar 👍 this video makes my day 🎸 btw I'm 59 was a junior in high school when RR was killed and I had started playing a year before that fkd up day I wish we could of heard more of his music 😢
Wow Dude. You nailed the entire vibe! Playing and sound is spot on! I remember first hearing the rolled up feedback howl at the beginning of Crazy Train in 81’ which started my love of guitar and all things Randy. Time has flown! That was 43 years ago! RR Forever 🎸
Yes. I agree. This was a competent demo w/A/B, effective rythm/ lead technique showcasing the pedal. Nice to see when most early reviews so far seem low rent and don't due the pedal justice. Good work and great technique. That 1959RR !!!
Huge Randy Rhoads fan sounds really good man. I want my hands on one😊 got to see this little slander guy 82 rocking the Charleston Civic Center in West Virginia one more concert after that before the tragedy happened Tennessee was the last stop Knoxville. Great to see Randy lives forever.
Wow, really cool to see the nearly identical rig setup!! Fans can only dream! 9:46. Immediately heard Randy’s dive bomb tone from Mr. Crowley in After Hours live just after the first solo. Pretty spot on Randy Rhoads tone throughout the video and again, killer setup!!
Love the demo! The mxr d plus is how i ended up meeting randy. They forgot his pedal board and he asked me if anyone had a mxr d plus he could borrow. I had friends in 3 of the opening bands and was also taking lessons from George lynch at a record store. I told him id look for one. I walked into a room to tell him i couldn't find one and asshole Kevin started going off telling me to get the fck out. I tried to explain but ended up in a shouting match and walked out. Randy came out i was pissed and yelled at him asking what the fck is Kevin's problem. He apologized i calmed down but still wanted to kick Kevin's ass. That's how i met randy🙂 my friend Ryan worked at charvel and worked on the concord
Man what a great video! Thank you so much. Randy was my guy from day one! My brother went with the other guy haha! I went so many different directions with styles and tones but this video showed me something….how brilliant of a composer Randy was! Watching you play his parts accurately like very accurately haha I realized just how complex his composition was. Like you can play Panama while watching a stripper to the right with a Marlboro hanging out your mouth but if you’re going to be playing Over The Mountain then you’d better be paying attention! Thanks for a great video and reminding me of the brilliance of Randy Rhoads!
I had tickets to see Ozzy with Randy in Louisville KY. He passed and the guy from Night Ranger played and did a good job for not being Randy. It was sad.
I was at band rehearsal when a friend called and said he had a bunch of tickets to see ozzy and Randy that night. I was having a good time rehearsing, so I said we'll catch him next time. There was no next time. Massive regret.
I just found you and I'm 63 and love RRs as well. I will never forget the first time I heard Ozzy with Randy. I know exactly where I was at and what I was doing. ❤ Love the Custom LP and the polka dot V. The second Marshall sounded better to me brother. Sounds great man. I will check out more of your videos. I'm going to an ampless solution because where I play no stage volume is allowed sadly. I used to play tube amps all the time back in the day loud 😂.. Miss those days. Glad to see you interested in the best guitarist that ever lived. EVH who? 😂 Are you playing in Stereo? I love the two delays. I'm going to be using an Eventide micro pitch because it makes the guitar sound huge. 😂. Great stuff. Thanks man . God speed brother and best regards from South Central Indiana. USA. Tim .
Thank you so much I greatly appreciate that!! Yeah the second Marshall sounds more full, the white RR signature head is very bright and tin-y sounding unless you crank it. I never use the second channel cause Randy always plugged into channel one which is the stock channel. That sucks there’s no stage volume allowed where you play! What’s up with that?! Luckily I get to crank my amps on stage for my gigs lol I do have a rig setup with the new Friedman IR-X pedal though to go ampless on stage for fly gigs and all the sound fed into my in ear monitors. Sounds amazing but I still prefer bringing my tube amps to gigs 😂 if you find me on Facebook I post pics of my gear set up before every show. Also yes I’m running in stereo with the two separate delays, once a long repeat with a bit of reverb on it (space echo) and I use the echoplex for a short slap back like EVH did on the first couple VH albums
@@DamianoChristian In case you're not aware, you can very simply remove (or possibly snip one of the legs of the bright capacitor) on the channel I volume control to eliminate the tinny/ice pick treble. I'll bet your old black head in this video has it removed. Excellent playing and killer collection of gear. Thank you for sharing 👍 👍
I knew I have seen you somewhere before. I was thinking you were the guitarist for Blizzard of Ozz band. You are badass brother. Spot on with the cover tunes brother. Keep these videos coming. This pedal seem spot on with Rhoads tone. Thanks for the demo. 🤘
whenever rhoads was playing live he always sounded like he had a wah pressed down because some notes would be higher harmonics but thats whats so pretty and unique about his tone
What you’re hearing there is those Altec 417-8h speakers he had in all his cabinets that are hard to find nowadays! Sadly I don’t have those, Randy was also a very heavy player according to Rudy Sarzo, a lot of that tone came from his picking hand and using slight pinch harmonics to sweeten his tone IMO
Thank you so much! To me the polka dot sounds the lowest output out of the 3 guitars but still nails the tone, I think the Concorde got it the closest 🤘🎸
@@DamianoChristian Randy hated Celestions. I remember in the early 90's you could pick up those Altec 417 H or C speakers for less than a hundred bucks a pop. They definitely have a more aggressive ripping sound than Rola Celestions.
The Jackson sounded great! (But of course, they all did.) I never got a chance to see RR. The first time I saw Ozzy, Brad Gillis had taken over. The second time I saw him, Jake E Lee was playing.
You definitely have the Randy vibe! I hope they produce more pedals so I can get one. Until then I'll keep using my yellow distortion+. Cheers everyone!
I saw Randy/Ozzy Blizzard of Oz tour '81 at the Long Beach Arena. I had my ticket stub for decades, but eventually lost it. BTW, it was my first concert.

It's amazing how many generations Randy Rhoads has influenced but sad he never got to see it
Great job. I have been listening to this for the last 40+ years. I am always happy when I see young people that appreciate this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video, hope you subscribed! 🤘😎🎸
Nice playing. I love that solo in diary of a madman. In my teens my buddy had a Carvin x60 combo. With a ratt proco it sounded exactly like ozzy

How much did it cost?
Look up the term cork sniffer
Man, you really nailed his tone and playing!! One of the best Randy covers I have seen. Gave me chills a few times. Rock on Randy forever.
Good stuff. It’s fascinating we’re focusing on Randy 42 years after his untimely death. Proof that great never gets old
Saw Randy on the Blizzard tour in Phoenix in '81... with Motorhead opening 😊
That must’ve been an insane show

Aspire to take it to the next level! We all need new a guitar hero; especially now! Do it!!!

You're doing Gods work. Nice! Also, I'm impressed at how you have effectively nailed Randy's live tone. 10/10
Bravo! you are the only one who did justice to the pedal. Congrats on your playing too!
Thank you so much I appreciate it!

I really like that the individual notes still come through in your playing and in your rig. It’s not too compressed or muddy.

...and spent some 💵💵💵
Man, that clean tone is...🤌
Whole rig and tones are siccc!!!🔥
Love seeing someone really nail the tone and the nuances of the playing, great job
I saw this dude live with Blizzard of Ozz band, absolutely incredible. He didn't miss a note. Nailed every riff and solo. Keep up the great work!
Aww thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed our show and hope to see you at the next one! Where did you see us play ??

Love the tone of the poka dot V...!
polka
This sounds killer! Great playing.
sweet bro, congrats. Those things are going to be worth their weight in gold one day
Sounds amazing!long live Randall
Your rig is awesome
Thank you so much!
whenever rhoads was playing live he always sounded like he had a wah pressed down because some notes would be higher harmonics but thats whats so pretty and unique about his tone
What you’re hearing there is those Altec 417-8h speakers he had in all his cabinets that are hard to find nowadays! Sadly I don’t have those, Randy was also a very heavy player according to Rudy Sarzo, a lot of that tone came from his picking hand and using slight pinch harmonics to sweeten his tone IMO
@@DamianoChristian wow got a reply from the rhoads doppleganger, cheers man haha
Wow! Great playing and tone. That polka dot V looked and sounded just like RR.
Thank you so much! To me the polka dot sounds the lowest output out of the 3 guitars but still nails the tone, I think the Concorde got it the closest 🤘🎸
@@DamianoChristian Randy hated Celestions. I remember in the early 90's you could pick up those Altec 417 H or C speakers for less than a hundred bucks a pop. They definitely have a more aggressive ripping sound than Rola Celestions.
Your playing was spot on siicckk rip Randy your never forgotten😊
The Jackson sounded great! (But of course, they all did.) I never got a chance to see RR. The first time I saw Ozzy, Brad Gillis had taken over. The second time I saw him, Jake E Lee was playing.
Randy used altec speakers but you probably already knew that but it's a big part of his sound along with cranking the amp up loud
i have the Randy Rhoads amp as well and i love it! I use it on country gigs too
And that’s how it’s done and that’s how it’s supposed to sound……Randy Rules🤘
We have the isolated guitar tracks for those two slbums and live mr. Crowley amd they sound amazing
You definitely have the Randy vibe! I hope they produce more pedals so I can get one. Until then I'll keep using my yellow distortion+. Cheers everyone!
Sounds amazing. Thanks for positing.
I saw Randy/Ozzy Blizzard of Oz tour '81 at the Long Beach Arena. I had my ticket stub for decades, but eventually lost it. BTW, it was my first concert.
I ‘m currently ordering mine. It will arrive in Japan around October. I also have a Randy amp so I can't wait to try it out. Amazing sound👍.
Sounds good Damiano !👍 RR forever
Thank you!
