I was 17 in March 1983. A friend and I were huge Randy Rhoads fans and we decided to up and head out from our home in Boston to go to LA on the first anniversary of Randy's death. I had learned about Musonia from a Guitar Player story. We got to LA, bought a street map and a bus schedule and headed toward North Hollywood on the day before the anniversary. We must have walked a mile plus and then we were standing in front of Musonia. We stepped inside and saw Mrs. Rhoads giving a piano lesson. She walked over to us and asked what we wanted. We were tongue-tied. We also had no idea whether she was ok with fans coming to her place of business. After a few seconds of silence, she asked if we were fans of Randy. We said yes. She said she had to finish the lesson, but would be happy to talk with us later. After she was done with the lesson, she gave us a tour of Musonia and spent nearly an hour with us. She was genuinely appreciative that we traveled across the country. She wrote down the cemetery where he was along with her home address and phone number on Musonia stationery.I still have it. Next day, we take a long bus ride to San Bernadino and Mrs. Rhoads introduced us to her family, Randy's girlfriend Jody and some of his friends. She also arranged for a couple of other fans to give us a ride back to LA. We saw the reformed QR at the Roxy that night. I would call her occasionally and send flowers. She was always a sweet lady who never seemed to feel bothered by fans. Just a wonderful lady. I've met his family a few times since on the anniversary and Kelle and Kathy always treat Randy's fans so well. They really are a special family. Such love and devotion to their Mom and to Randy's legacy. Bless all of them.
Great story. Hey, do you happen to remember the home address Mrs. Rhoads gave you? I live in Burbank near where I think Randy grew up but I'm not sure. I walk by the house every day while walking my dog. Is it on Amherst Drive?
@@bobkeenan2907 of course. I think you can send me a message through my screen name. I tried sending you my email address but I think RUclips deleted it.
I spoke to Mrs. Rhoads on the phone around "81/'82 to say how important Randy's music was to me. She was the sweetest kindest person you could ever speak with. I'm sure Randy is making some beautiful music in heaven.
She was cool!!!! There's footage of the guy from Tesla, showing her the song he wrote, inspired by Randy. I will try to get it up on the channel today.
I totally forgot i'd called Musonia to tell her how much Randy meant to me until reading this. That was in the late 80's. Thank you so much for reminding me. She was very sweet and kind.
I play guitar and one of the first songs that I wanted to learn someday. Well..........still learning Oh,.......the first Barre of "Dee", (LOL) Randy's Classical piece off of BLIZZARD OF OZ. I don't even know how to approach it, for one. But I do remember that when I saw on tablature paper where that harmonic Randy does in the earlier part of Dee, and I played it, I remember being dumbfounded and looking at my hand that I did the harmonic with. LMAO, because it was mind blowing to hear that simple harmonic, because it was from my fingers. Thanks Randy, now maybe I can finally get to learning the H.A.R.D. part of that piece of music. Lol
4:12 "Well, you know, I teach at my mom's school" - Randy Rhoads Guy on the other side of the phone "WTF, he still lives with his mom!" 😂 While all other headbangers are getting sh*t faced, far from mom and dad, breaking the law, and living in the streets... 😂 Randy was 100% a Mommas boy 🙏😎 Take care of your parents and god will take care of you. 🙏👵🧓 😎
My dad don't want me helping him with mum in the wheelchair, he is too proud and my mother don't want me seeing her without the bib on her butt, i'm her son. And when my dad needs to go do the shopping etc my aunt is there. They never call me and when i call they never want to talk to me but a couple minutes and that's it. Again my dad is too proud
@@m42037 because it sounds like, despite things, you are still making a effort to stay involved. And I can understand that. My father was a proud man too. Eventually, it got to the point where he had no choice but to let me help him. When that happened. He finally allowed me to help him. Which was a good thing for both of us. Even though your parents are too proud to let you help them. At least you are involved enough to know everything going on with them, you stated above. So, it sounds like you're doing everything you can, as a son. I applaud that. And I understand it.
@@DetroitWrecker666 Idk if i go that far. I don't want to go into detail and know people don't want to hear it but sometimes i won't talk to them for over a week maybe 10 days. Really mum had a stroke 4 years ago and she's not the same. I call and 5 minutes tops she don't want to talk and gives phone to dad. Sometimes i feel like they don't want to be bothered with me. Dad's like " ya son what's up how are ya? He's got a handful and still drinks his beers lol. My aunt tells me to go visit more that you don't know how long she's gonna live. She's 75 and don't eat much and gwts sick and you know the rest, RA also. I miss my old mum!!!
I'm so happy you're together now. I'm so happy you both do not have to be here for this. I'm so happy that Dolores that you're so happy now. It fills my heart with joy.
Yeah , what would you say if Ozzy punched Randy in the face when Randy told Ozzy that he wantedto leave the band and go to ucla to study classical guitar?
I don't believe Randy wanted to get his Degree in Classical Guitar as a means of becoming a "Classical Guitarist" I think he was simply eager to learn and try to perfect his trade as a Musician. He truly was dedicated to his Trade. However, I also believe he created a "urgency" to go back to School, because he wanted to get away from Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne was everything BUT professional, regarding his trade as a Vocalist. You have to put yourself in Randy's shoes..... How would you like working with a guy who is constantly drunk and abusing drugs......decides to fire the entire band in the middle of the night, and throws them off the Bus. But you are contractually obligated to play the next show... So, you and the rest of the Band members have to find a ride to the next Gig, and when you get there, Ozzy claims he doesn't even remember it happening! The above is just one TRUE example of what went on while touring with Ozzy Osbourne. As much as I would like to tell you guys all of the stories, I won't. Because it is all in Bob Daisley's book "For Facts Sake" and Bob doesn't deserve to have someone like me tell all the stories. It is a FANTASTIC book, and I highly recommend it. God Bless
I have audio of Randy talking about having tuning issues with the polka dot V "All the time" It was a basic Fender scale build with a Vibrato. Of course people today talk about tuning issues with Fender guitars when they use the whammy. Abstract Guitars was the builder. They were not known back then or even today for building world class guitars. They build some very interesting looking guitars. But I'm not sure if they ever mastered functionality. Your friend was maybe the first person to tech the off set V known as the Concord guitar that Grover Jackson designed for Randy. Would have been shortly after he bought out Charvel. Also have audio of Randy talking about it being a Charvel Guitar but, it said Jackson on the head stock "...everyone asks what's a Jackson?" Of course your friend would also have teched Randy's cream Les Paul Custom. It would be interesting to do an interview with him. I appreciate the comment.
@@DetroitWrecker666 it would have been great to do one with him, unfortunately he passed away last year , his name was Pete Restey , he was Tony Iomnis tech for 30 years. Pete took me to LA a few years ago to visit some people, connected, it was really far out. Petes name is in the song, Trashed with Ian Gillan singing. "pete and the green". there is a few videos on my page of Pete talking about it. Pete spent days on end telling me of working with so many incredible artist. RR included. He was always Blackmores tech as well. Pete worked for Manowar for many years too and was in the process of writing a book that will probably never be finished. I grew up cutting my teeth on RR. I was honored to have Pete as a friend and mentor.
@@THEJOEDAVISBAND Really sorry to hear that. You must have heard some stories! I too have been chasing after Randy since the first time I heard of him back then. I'm actually getting ready to record some Ozzy covers from that era with my brother. We haven't recorded together is over 20 years. So, I'm looking forward to that. I'm actually hoping it turns into us writing together again. He and I were both in bands all our lives. But we only worked together for a short time over 20 years ago. It will either work really well. Or we'll kill each other. LOL! I really appreciate your comments and I will have to check out your page.
@@DetroitWrecker666 a friend of mine, re did diary this past year and I played guitar on it. It was unreal tough to learn RR stuff note for note. If I can find the link of it..I ll share it with ya. It was all in good fun. Randy was the master we are all the students. :)
When I think about the electric guitar as the musical instrument in general and for it to be exercised at peak ability, I think of Randy. If I had to select one individual to successfully reach such an almost impossible achievement from all the people in the world, it would be Randall William Rhoads without question. I believe that if he was still alive, he would be the most complete guitar player known today by far, of an unsurpassable level. The instrument itself lost it's only completely able and worthy operator from that day, it's one of the most tragic occurrences that I've ever known but I do feel that he's legacy lives on, just in a higher existence now. Long live Randy Rhoads. NA1974🇬🇧.
She too was put out in the spot light. Especially after he was killed. She was also used to being in front of a audiance, being a prominent musician herself.
Hearing all of this makes me think of the heartbreak that these wonderful people have had to endure in losing their brother and son. And they’re so courageous, hearing them remember Randy. People of great Faith, no doubt. What a waste, to be chewed up by this Rock Star machine. He would have studied classical guitar, gotten his master’s degree and probably been a venerated teacher and performer in his own right. He could have had his nice little life, or maybe a bit bigger life through his talent!...but he would have taught at his Mom’s school or maybe started his own...he would have had an otherwise normal and fulfilling life. But he got snatched up by this bullshit and it killed him...and I know the Rock scene to a degree having played in well-known local bands for many years. It’s essentially where all the outcasts and rejects go because EVERY ONE is accepted. And this idiot bus driver/pilot (where’d he get his license?...K-Mart?) is a prime example, although on a higher level. He just had to show off, and look what happened. I’ve been studying to be a certified drone operator, and the FAA study guide teaches a lot of the same stuff you need to get a real pilot’s license. The safety information and how to deal with emergencies has been updated in very recent years so this idiot would never have seen it back in those days. It says the NUMBER ONE most dangerous threat to any flight is a pilot who feels he has something to prove or who wants to show off. The most dangerous words that can ever be spoken by a pilot - and this is right out of the study guide: “Hey! Watch this!” Fucking asshole.
Well, when you listen to his mother. It sounds like he was happy where he was at. Wasn't looking to become a huge "rock star" One thing that has always struck me is how everyone who played in that band, and even Ozzy bands thereafter, talked about how difficult it was working with Ozzy, being a complete drunk and drug addict. And Sharon, being the Dictator.
@@DetroitWrecker666 I saw another interview with Delores where she talked about having to talk Randy into taking the gig with Ozzy because Randy was perfectly happy with QR. I was blessed to see Randy with Ozzy in Phoenix in 1981 on the Blizzard of Ozz tour... Motorhead opening.
@@scottdunn2178 She speaks of it in this video. Mang! MotorHead opening! I REALLY miss Lemmy too! When he died it was a HUGE blow. Almost as bad as losing EVH. It's like losing an Uncle or something.
@@Jameschewingfoil Yep, and they were only paying Randy $1000 a week, when they were bringing in hundreds of thousands a week from sold out shows. Sharon is a ruthless witch.
This Video has been picking up views and because of how many of you are loving Mrs Rhoads. I wanted to share this video with you: ruclips.net/video/67_2LJCbkoQ/видео.html Also, here is a audio Guitar Lesson and interview with Randy: ruclips.net/video/VdWIIkv8Xro/видео.html Enjoy!
Ty for your insights...Im from Newport Beach, CA. just South of LA...I was at the time a Pro Vert Skater and Dave Navarro was my neighbor for his final year of high school and we use to jam together I play guitar too...Dave told me dude I'm going back to live with my dad in LA...he was on MTV literally within a year with Janes Addiction...And I heard many stories from but Dave and my best friend Jeff D. Co-founder of Golden Voice Entertainment which if you where in a band on the West Coast you had to deal with this entity being that they were the biggest promotion team West of everything...! I indeed will certainly take on your suggestion as information is no longer rumor based and can be fact checked... In the 80s On weekends we would metal out in Hollywood and I would see QR all over the strip...and Drink with Kelly Rhoads....Ty for your insights and information it's really cool getting the skinny on RR!
@@JBG949 Great story! Out here in Detroit, and extending to the East Coast. The music business was mobbed up. In fact, one of our Demo's was funded by a mob guy (allegedly)😃 Of course you know, back in the 80's California was the place to be. MANY MANY kids left their hometowns in the mid-west to "make it big" in L.A. Only to find that, even in the West Coast it's much easier if you know someone. I'm aware of the company you mentioned. Although, I personally never had dealings with them. However, I have friends who dealt with them. I appreciate your kind words and the story. Thank you!
RR was underrated compared to Eddie Van Halen! I remember back in the early 80s i'm short of 55 years old. 40% of people would say how great Randy was but the other 60% was all EDDIE! God rest his soul now but lets get real Randy was better than any heavy rock/metal guitar player back then! Hell today he's still better than most and he was 25 when he died because of that stupid pilot
@Rage Theatre2020 Wrong Quiet Riot was out there with a record before VH, RR was better than Eddie. Eddie was also hard to work with and a drunk and made his wife leave him! And you got to love his buzzcut Marines haircut
I agree 100%.. I saw Randy in Detroit at the Masonic Temple. I was blown away like the Memorex man sitting in the chair ad. I was blown away. It seems to me. If you like Ozzys first two albums better then Van Halen first two albums. You are a Randy guy. If not you like van Halen. I liked Randys picking attack fluidness and structure better.
When I heard Tribute album I was blown away. The greatest album ever. It's missing lots of tracks from Diary, but has a few Sabbath songs. Just amazing stuff. 🎸
@@djay6651 Diary of a madman was recorded 4 months into Blizzard of Ozz. However, Tribute was released in 1987. They could have added more tracks from Diary. Only Believer is on there.
@@SpicyBloodBean Well he sure played a very good version of Children of the Grave with a very long solo. It looks like he was having lots of fun. Plus most of his music with Ozzy is still in the same Sabbath style, dark, gothic, and heavy. Ozzy is basically Black Sabbath. Same style. Same approach. Just better solos and improvised.
@@davesaenz3732 No bone movies and You Looking at Me, Looking at You. was randys style he played sabbath because he had too he was under contract. I supposed your unaware ozzy punched randy in the face and sharon threatened to sue him if he left. because he wanted to leave to teach classical guitar. its pretty well known randy hated playing sabbath songs
What make Randy a legend is he was a man who became a god, but would rather be a simple man. Discard all that he could gain in fame just to do what he loved most. Some people would sell their soul for that luxury even if it meant not doing what they loved.
I would have loved 2 have met this precious woman. It's so important 2 have loving parents n this life, u can c how that carried over 2 Randy! Truly a special, wonderful human being, God Bless U Randy Rhoads.
My mate was always banging on about this bloke called Randy Roads back in 1983/4 being the best guitarist ever and I didn't have a clue until i found this video on RUclips
Mama Rhoads Thank you for Randy may he rest in peace 12/6/56 - 3/18/82. Last year I was in the hospital for heart/kidney failure and we was not sure if I was gonna come out of the hospital on my feet or in a box. The hospital doctor asked me while I was in there Scotty if your heart does stop do you want us to do chest compressions CPR any of that? I firmly said NO cuz I'm finally gonna get to go to rock n roll heaven and jam with Randy Rhoads Eddie Van Halen SRV, Hendrix. DO NOT under ANY circumstances take that from me. If my heart stops and I come back I'm coming back very pissed off.
I had read decades ago that Randy on tour didn't do the normal glam rocker thing like drugs and sex. He instead got on his bicycle and went around the area taking pictures.
It's a fun thing to dwell on because Randy was such a fantastic guitarist and composer.......but, I kinda think he would have dived heavily into classical guitar, got his degree -- as mentioned -- but at some point, pick the electric back up and do some rocking because he was so good at it. I think the curiosity in fusing rock and classical together -- fully -- would have been very intriguing to him. So much of what we do as musicians is built around inspiration.....and that is....a very tough thing to predict. However you slice it, Randy would have continued to have done amazing things on the guitar and with his original music....can't see him ever getting into anything that resembled a rut.
Delores ended up having to sue the Osbournes. After Randy died, Sharon changed his contract in order to screw his estate out of royalties. Ozzy punched Randy when he said he wanted to leave, and they threatened him with lawsuits.
The Osbourne's STILL control ALL of Randy's credits and royalties. Call Kelle Rhoads, he'll tell you about it. Bob Daisley has hours and hours of never before publicly released recordings of Randy's. He has been promised by Sharon that they will sue him penniless, if he does ANYTHING with them other than keep them for himself. Sharon Osbourne is the most crooked person to ever grace the music industry.
@@DetroitWrecker666 Yes Bob has the Holy Grail, and someone did a make a comment to me when I asked about why the Osbournes don't just scratch Bob a check:when you have that kind of money it's never enough....greed begets greed. I got to meet Kelle at Musonia when he gave me a tour, he was very gracious with his time this on the heels of him having a nasty fall the night before my tour, and I gave him the option to cancel and he refused to cancel. He used a cane to get around. I made it clear I was not an ozzy or darth hideous fan, and view Randy and Bob as the great songwriting team. I know Dee sued to get control of Randy's likeness. And I know there is video footage they are sitting on they refuse to release, I mean 1981 Day on the Green was on satellite TV. Bob could release those recordings for free, and the Osbournes could not really do anything about it. He owns the copyright on them. But he is trying to get what he thinks he is owed from the years of suing them as Darth Hideous screwed him
so I have read this but I have never found evidence that Dee sued them but I have heard that story Darth Hideous had tried to forge a contract after Randy died to cut his royalties. But Randy sent the original to his mom,so they got caught. THe RHoads and Osbournes have a symbiotic relationship but I sense if you got Kathy and Kelle in a room to take a lie detector it would reveal they only publicly support the Osbournes but deep down do not care for them....
That's when Ozzy punched Randy in the face and Sharon back them into a wall and reminded him that he was on the contract and that they would sue him if you would leave the band
I saw they said that story was confirmed by Tommy Aldridge of all people! I have known him to say something for the sake of starting shit. So, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's true. Of we could talk about ALL the musicians the Osbourne's have bent over.....
@@DetroitWrecker666 confirmed by Rudy Sarzo and retold to Kelli Garni when Randy was on hiatus...terrible stuff to happen before your star band member and supposed friend who helped ressurect your career dies...
I really would've liked to have heard what Randy would've been capable of. I mean, he was constantly seeking out lessons and learning and he was a far better guitarist on Diary than he was on Blizzard. That rarely happens in rock. Guitarists do improve, but they rarely take that much of a leap forward in that short of a period of time after reaching the big record deal. I think he would've done some rock oriented projects. He might've even done the virtuoso thing and put out a bunch of instrumental work. I do think he wanted to get away from the machine, that was the Ozzy show. Being the last man standing of the Blizzard group, his unmatched abilities being the one thing keeping his head above water. He was only around for such a small amount of time, but here we are still talking about him. I wish more stuff from the Randy era was released. There's got to be some good soundboard recordings collecting dust somewhere.
Poor Guy. He didn't even like to fly and decides to go on a quick joy ride with a pilot who decides to buzz the bus several times for a joke. The final time he came in too low and the wing clipped the bus and the playing cartwheeled and crashed. What a senseless way for a fine, young, talented musician to go. What a loss to the world of music. The band's hair stylist/makeup artist Rachel Youngblood was also on the plane and her loss is no less significant to her family, friends, and colleagues than Randy's was to the music world. As for the pilot, unfortunately we make foolish decisions in life at times, because quite frankly, who hasn't? But when those consequences prove deadly, and you take innocent people with you, it becomes an unthinkable tragedy.
Just seeing some old lady say the words 'Quiet Riot' seems odd, haha. Like, it rolled off her tongue as easily as a word that would've seemed more apt to be coming out of her mouth, something like...., oh I don't know..., Bloomers.
I know we are all different. I'm thinking if I was in her place I'd feel extremely guilty. Maybe she does. And just doesn't show it. Maybe she cries all the time in private when she thinks about her son. If she's still alive that is. I don't know if she is or not. I can't help thinking about the fact that she was the one who encouraged Randy to join Ozzy's band in the first place. Maybe if she hadn't he would still be alive. She says he was happy enough to stay with Quiet Riot. Too bad he didn't. In fact the day of the plane crash he went up in that plane because he wanted to take aerial photos to send to his mother. He was actually afraid of flying. So apparently he was extremely close to his mother and wanted to do everything he could for her. And I guess he paid the ultimate price for that.
I have to look on one of my hard drives. But I'll look for it. Not sure they will let me upload it. That was the problem last time..... The Osbourne machine blocked it. I also have a ton of live footage of Ozzy. Not with Randy but still, it's pretty cool. Again, the Osbourne machine will not allow it. Maybe ask Sharon Osbourne. 😆 Seriously tho, I'll look for ya.
They were about the same age, and very much aware of each other. Even ripping off each other's licks. I honestly don't believe EVH would have made a very good teacher. Randy was a very educated musician.
@@DetroitWrecker666 True that! How about Jake E Lee? He was taught classical piano and had knowledge of the modes, even did techniques Randy never did. Or even Lynch who actually taught at the school.
@sumbuddy63 Randy wanted to just stay with Quiet Riot. His mom talked him into audition with Ozzy. Who told him he had the job but then it was months before Ozzy contacted him again. That's when Randy went to Europe the first time and recorded Blizzard of Oz.
@@DetroitWrecker666 You have to wonder if Q.R. thought after hearing Blizzard and Diary that all that incredible and ground breaking guitar work could have been theirs.
@sumbuddy63 I have always considered Bob Daisley to be a person who helped Randy to unlock a lot of creativity. A lot of the songs we hear on Blizzard and Diary were riffs Randy had for a long time. When he got with Bob he really kind of worked it out it seems.
Thing is that, this story has been told like this over and over and there is some un-thruths in it. What Randy really wanted to do is get his degree and then continue on in rock music. His first intent was to get away from Ozzy. Randy was a professional, looking to master his craft. The other guys he worked with were a lot like that...except for Ozzy. He was a drunken drug addict and as unprofessional as one can get. Randy didn't want to be stuck in a band with him.
he would be alive today if just about anything changed along the way including Darth Hideous downloading the Aycock info to Duncan, or if she had not allowed the estranged wife on the bus, I mean anything could have changed that or perhaps not allowing a guy who had been doing coke all night take the band up in a plane, Don AIrey is lucky to be alive.
@@DetroitWrecker666 So his brother, Kelle , is convinced Randy was simply wanting to stop touring but he would do another album with Ozzy especially once Bob was back in the fold. Randy sort of shrugged off Ozzy's addictions though he was letting him know he should let up
@Dave Wight If you are a Randy fan. Do yourself a favor and go buy Bob Daisleys book "for facts sake" it is his personal diary from that time period along with the rest of his career. There is no question about the truth of what went on day to day during those recordings with Randy because, Bob kept a diary every day (diary of a madman) right? It truly is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it to any fan of Randy. I bought it strictly for that. It's so good I ended up reading all of it.
@DetroitWrecker666 I have the book by Bob Daisley...and the John Stix book. Also, Jimmy Degrasso is in my buddies' band and he talks to Bob frequently they bonded over the ultimate sin time where Jimmy backed Bob and was essentially fired.
The best guitarists loved the instrument. It was their life. Randy was going to quit being a rock star to go off and master classical guitar. EVH wouldnt go out and party bc he just wanted to practice guitar. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai practiced like 10 hours a day. You have to want it that much.
A lot of the kids at UCLA don't even know about this! There is a locker there though dedicated to Jim Morrison though. Got lots of LSD stickers all over it.
Imagine had Rhoads lived and somewhere down the line Rhoads and Iommi would play together on stage from a Ozzy Solo and Sabb written dark and heavy song? The stage would be the castles meet Stonehenge. Both Rhoads and Iommi dressed in black with lazer lights pointing at them.
Ozzy would have done Rhodes the same way he has done to 20 other guitarist, why make a Bing stink about Rhodes and ozzy? If Rhodes lived on , he wouldn't have been with ozzy more than 2 years... It's just shit that adds to drama
I was angry when i heard that RandysMOM had to take Ozzy & Sharon to court because she was not getting all the royalties owed to her, while Ozzy and Sharon got rich off the first couple of Blizzard of Oz band made millions

I was 17 in March 1983. A friend and I were huge Randy Rhoads fans and we decided to up and head out from our home in Boston to go to LA on the first anniversary of Randy's death. I had learned about Musonia from a Guitar Player story. We got to LA, bought a street map and a bus schedule and headed toward North Hollywood on the day before the anniversary. We must have walked a mile plus and then we were standing in front of Musonia. We stepped inside and saw Mrs. Rhoads giving a piano lesson. She walked over to us and asked what we wanted. We were tongue-tied. We also had no idea whether she was ok with fans coming to her place of business. After a few seconds of silence, she asked if we were fans of Randy. We said yes. She said she had to finish the lesson, but would be happy to talk with us later. After she was done with the lesson, she gave us a tour of Musonia and spent nearly an hour with us. She was genuinely appreciative that we traveled across the country. She wrote down the cemetery where he was along with her home address and phone number on Musonia stationery.I still have it. Next day, we take a long bus ride to San Bernadino and Mrs. Rhoads introduced us to her family, Randy's girlfriend Jody and some of his friends. She also arranged for a couple of other fans to give us a ride back to LA. We saw the reformed QR at the Roxy that night. I would call her occasionally and send flowers. She was always a sweet lady who never seemed to feel bothered by fans. Just a wonderful lady. I've met his family a few times since on the anniversary and Kelle and Kathy always treat Randy's fans so well. They really are a special family. Such love and devotion to their Mom and to Randy's legacy. Bless all of them.
Priceless! Thanks for sharing.
Nice story! Thanks for sharing with us!
Great story. Hey, do you happen to remember the home address Mrs. Rhoads gave you? I live in Burbank near where I think Randy grew up but I'm not sure. I walk by the house every day while walking my dog. Is it on Amherst Drive?
@@markl1473 can I reply just to you?
@@bobkeenan2907 of course. I think you can send me a message through my screen name. I tried sending you my email address but I think RUclips deleted it.
I spoke to Mrs. Rhoads on the phone around "81/'82 to say how important Randy's music was to me. She was the sweetest kindest person you could ever speak with. I'm sure Randy is making some beautiful music in heaven.
What a wonderful lady. Randy came from a great family.
RIP delores
Wow randys sister looks just like him
9 years old, learn everything he can from his guitar teacher on the electric guitar. Stops taking lessons. = Legend.

Randy would have made a wonder classical guitarist. RIP Randy
I phoned her in the late 80's because I was thinking about going to music college and I had transcribed "Dee" for classical piano. She was super nice.
I totally forgot i'd called Musonia to tell her how much Randy meant to me until reading this. That was in the late 80's. Thank you so much for reminding me. She was very sweet and kind.
I called her after Randy's death and told her how much he had meant to me. She was sweet !
I play guitar and one of the first songs that I wanted to learn someday. Well..........still learning Oh,.......the first Barre of "Dee", (LOL) Randy's Classical piece off of BLIZZARD OF OZ. I don't even know how to approach it, for one. But I do remember that when I saw on tablature paper where that harmonic Randy does in the earlier part of Dee, and I played it, I remember being dumbfounded and looking at my hand that I did the harmonic with. LMAO, because it was mind blowing to hear that simple harmonic, because it was from my fingers. Thanks Randy, now maybe I can finally get to learning the H.A.R.D. part of that piece of music. Lol
How can you dislike this video?
What is wrong with people.
I dislike that Randy is gone
The way it jumps around is nasty lol
Just ignore the Foolishlyfoolishfools that's all.
Sharon osbourne is awful.
Who cares...enjoy the video and don't worry about it
RIP Randy Rhoads, 40 years ago today, so many great childhood memories! X
4:12 "Well, you know, I teach at my mom's school" - Randy Rhoads
Guy on the other side of the phone
"WTF, he still lives with his mom!" 😂
While all other headbangers are getting sh*t faced, far from mom and dad, breaking the law, and living in the streets... 😂
Randy was 100% a Mommas boy 🙏😎
Take care of your parents and god will take care of you. 🙏👵🧓 😎
My dad don't want me helping him with mum in the wheelchair, he is too proud and my mother don't want me seeing her without the bib on her butt, i'm her son. And when my dad needs to go do the shopping etc my aunt is there. They never call me and when i call they never want to talk to me but a couple minutes and that's it. Again my dad is too proud
Good on you!
@@DetroitWrecker666 Why do you say that?
@@m42037 because it sounds like, despite things, you are still making a effort to stay involved. And I can understand that. My father was a proud man too. Eventually, it got to the point where he had no choice but to let me help him. When that happened. He finally allowed me to help him. Which was a good thing for both of us.
Even though your parents are too proud to let you help them. At least you are involved enough to know everything going on with them, you stated above.
So, it sounds like you're doing everything you can, as a son. I applaud that. And I understand it.
@@DetroitWrecker666 Idk if i go that far. I don't want to go into detail and know people don't want to hear it but sometimes i won't talk to them for over a week maybe 10 days. Really mum had a stroke 4 years ago and she's not the same. I call and 5 minutes tops she don't want to talk and gives phone to dad. Sometimes i feel like they don't want to be bothered with me. Dad's like " ya son what's up how are ya? He's got a handful and still drinks his beers lol. My aunt tells me to go visit more that you don't know how long she's gonna live. She's 75 and don't eat much and gwts sick and you know the rest, RA also. I miss my old mum!!!
Wow, That was a wonderful interview. Randy's mom is a darling. I could listen to her stories for hours
Divine Souls are a rare breed on this planet.
Old soul indeed, Ancient.
Teared up watching this.
RIP, Randy, and Delores Rhoads
Aww, she is such a sweet woman. Randy was an absolute legend !!!
I saw the 2/20/82 show in Dallas. It was BY FAR the best show I have ever seen.
I'm so happy you're together now. I'm so happy you both do not have to be here for this. I'm so happy that Dolores that you're so happy now. It fills my heart with joy.
Imagine Ozzy saying to someone "Are you crazy ?"
He said it to the audience every night, right before they played a certain song...
Yeah , what would you say if Ozzy punched Randy in the face when Randy told Ozzy that he wantedto leave the band and go to ucla to study classical guitar?
I don't believe Randy wanted to get his Degree in Classical Guitar as a means of becoming a "Classical Guitarist"
I think he was simply eager to learn and try to perfect his trade as a Musician. He truly was dedicated to his Trade. However, I also believe he created a "urgency" to go back to School, because he wanted to get away from Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne was everything BUT professional, regarding his trade as a Vocalist.
You have to put yourself in Randy's shoes..... How would you like working with a guy who is constantly drunk and abusing drugs......decides to fire the entire band in the middle of the night, and throws them off the Bus.
But you are contractually obligated to play the next show... So, you and the rest of the Band members have to find a ride to the next Gig, and when you get there, Ozzy claims he doesn't even remember it happening!
The above is just one TRUE example of what went on while touring with Ozzy Osbourne.
As much as I would like to tell you guys all of the stories, I won't. Because it is all in Bob Daisley's book "For Facts Sake" and Bob doesn't deserve to have someone like me tell all the stories.
It is a FANTASTIC book, and I highly recommend it.
God Bless
He's an idiot. Of course he would say that.
Amazing woman amazing musician
a friend of mine was Randy's tech with Ozzy. Randy was a huge influence to so many. RR forever!
I have audio of Randy talking about having tuning issues with the polka dot V "All the time" It was a basic Fender scale build with a Vibrato. Of course people today talk about tuning issues with Fender guitars when they use the whammy. Abstract Guitars was the builder. They were not known back then or even today for building world class guitars. They build some very interesting looking guitars. But I'm not sure if they ever mastered functionality.
Your friend was maybe the first person to tech the off set V known as the Concord guitar that Grover Jackson designed for Randy. Would have been shortly after he bought out Charvel. Also have audio of Randy talking about it being a Charvel Guitar but, it said Jackson on the head stock "...everyone asks what's a Jackson?"
Of course your friend would also have teched Randy's cream Les Paul Custom.
It would be interesting to do an interview with him.
I appreciate the comment.
@@DetroitWrecker666 it would have been great to do one with him, unfortunately he passed away last year , his name was Pete Restey , he was Tony Iomnis tech for 30 years. Pete took me to LA a few years ago to visit some people, connected, it was really far out. Petes name is in the song, Trashed with Ian Gillan singing. "pete and the green". there is a few videos on my page of Pete talking about it. Pete spent days on end telling me of working with so many incredible artist. RR included. He was always Blackmores tech as well. Pete worked for Manowar for many years too and was in the process of writing a book that will probably never be finished. I grew up cutting my teeth on RR. I was honored to have Pete as a friend and mentor.
@@THEJOEDAVISBAND Really sorry to hear that. You must have heard some stories! I too have been chasing after Randy since the first time I heard of him back then. I'm actually getting ready to record some Ozzy covers from that era with my brother. We haven't recorded together is over 20 years. So, I'm looking forward to that. I'm actually hoping it turns into us writing together again. He and I were both in bands all our lives. But we only worked together for a short time over 20 years ago. It will either work really well. Or we'll kill each other. LOL!
I really appreciate your comments and I will have to check out your page.
@@DetroitWrecker666 a friend of mine, re did diary this past year and I played guitar on it. It was unreal tough to learn RR stuff note for note. If I can find the link of it..I ll share it with ya. It was all in good fun. Randy was the master we are all the students. :)
I love musicians like Randy and Buckethead. They would play and compose even if no one ever heard them or they ever got paid a dime.
John Pet same way
Can you imagine having randy rhoads as a guitar teacher?
"so will we play paganini on acoustic or electric?"
RR *smiling : "both."
@@alexamderhamiltom5238 "at the same time" 😲
What a dream come true
WOW! I actually understood what ozzy's was saying most of the time!
Had he not gotten on that plane, I think Randy would have gone on to play very similar stuff to what Yngwie Malmsteen did years after Randy left us.
Whatever he would have done, it would have been AMAZING
Kathy is almost a spitting image of Randy!! Randy's mother is such a wonderful, and hard working single mom!!!
When I think about the electric guitar as the musical instrument in general and for it to be exercised at peak ability, I think of Randy. If I had to select one individual to successfully reach such an almost impossible achievement from all the people in the world, it would be Randall William Rhoads without question. I believe that if he was still alive, he would be the most complete guitar player known today by far, of an unsurpassable level. The instrument itself lost it's only completely able and worthy operator from that day, it's one of the most tragic occurrences that I've ever known but I do feel that he's legacy lives on, just in a higher existence now. Long live Randy Rhoads. NA1974🇬🇧.
he is an all time A leaguer for sure
Never knew any of this backstory. Love it! His poor mom=she handles it so well. Love, "I was just warming up and Ozzy shouted, 'you're hired'."
She too was put out in the spot light. Especially after he was killed. She was also used to being in front of a audiance, being a prominent musician herself.
Hearing all of this makes me think of the heartbreak that these wonderful people have had to endure in losing their brother and son. And they’re so courageous, hearing them remember Randy. People of great Faith, no doubt. What a waste, to be chewed up by this Rock Star machine. He would have studied classical guitar, gotten his master’s degree and probably been a venerated teacher and performer in his own right. He could have had his nice little life, or maybe a bit bigger life through his talent!...but he would have taught at his Mom’s school or maybe started his own...he would have had an otherwise normal and fulfilling life. But he got snatched up by this bullshit and it killed him...and I know the Rock scene to a degree having played in well-known local bands for many years. It’s essentially where all the outcasts and rejects go because EVERY ONE is accepted. And this idiot bus driver/pilot (where’d he get his license?...K-Mart?) is a prime example, although on a higher level. He just had to show off, and look what happened. I’ve been studying to be a certified drone operator, and the FAA study guide teaches a lot of the same stuff you need to get a real pilot’s license. The safety information and how to deal with emergencies has been updated in very recent years so this idiot would never have seen it back in those days. It says the NUMBER ONE most dangerous threat to any flight is a pilot who feels he has something to prove or who wants to show off. The most dangerous words that can ever be spoken by a pilot - and this is right out of the study guide: “Hey! Watch this!” Fucking asshole.
Thanks for this, James!
...... exactly sir
Ozzy conveniently left out the punch in the face he gave Randy when he told him he was going to leave
I think Randy was disillusioned by the whole "rock star" thing once he started touring with Ozzy... he saw it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be.
Well, when you listen to his mother. It sounds like he was happy where he was at. Wasn't looking to become a huge "rock star" One thing that has always struck me is how everyone who played in that band, and even Ozzy bands thereafter, talked about how difficult it was working with Ozzy, being a complete drunk and drug addict. And Sharon, being the Dictator.
@@DetroitWrecker666 I saw another interview with Delores where she talked about having to talk Randy into taking the gig with Ozzy because Randy was perfectly happy with QR. I was blessed to see Randy with Ozzy in Phoenix in 1981 on the Blizzard of Ozz tour... Motorhead opening.
@@scottdunn2178 She speaks of it in this video. Mang! MotorHead opening! I REALLY miss Lemmy too! When he died it was a HUGE blow. Almost as bad as losing EVH. It's like losing an Uncle or something.
Randy saw what was going on with Lee and Bob and how they were treated and decided to get out.He probably felt like hired help.
@@Jameschewingfoil Yep, and they were only paying Randy $1000 a week, when they were bringing in hundreds of thousands a week from sold out shows. Sharon is a ruthless witch.
This Video has been picking up views and because of how many of you are loving Mrs Rhoads. I wanted to share this video with you: ruclips.net/video/67_2LJCbkoQ/видео.html
Also, here is a audio Guitar Lesson and interview with Randy: ruclips.net/video/VdWIIkv8Xro/видео.html
Enjoy!
..very cool ...thx for sharing 👍
Ty for your insights...Im from Newport Beach, CA. just South of LA...I was at the time a Pro Vert Skater and Dave Navarro was my neighbor for his final year of high school and we use to jam together I play guitar too...Dave told me dude I'm going back to live with my dad in LA...he was on MTV literally within a year with Janes Addiction...And I heard many stories from but Dave and my best friend Jeff D. Co-founder of Golden Voice Entertainment which if you where in a band on the West Coast you had to deal with this entity being that they were the biggest promotion team West of everything...! I indeed will certainly take on your suggestion as information is no longer rumor based and can be fact checked... In the 80s On weekends we would metal out in Hollywood and I would see QR all over the strip...and Drink with Kelly Rhoads....Ty for your insights and information it's really cool getting the skinny on RR!
@@JBG949 Great story!
Out here in Detroit, and extending to the East Coast. The music business was mobbed up. In fact, one of our Demo's was funded by a mob guy (allegedly)😃
Of course you know, back in the 80's California was the place to be. MANY MANY kids left their hometowns in the mid-west to "make it big" in L.A.
Only to find that, even in the West Coast it's much easier if you know someone.
I'm aware of the company you mentioned. Although, I personally never had dealings with them. However, I have friends who dealt with them.
I appreciate your kind words and the story. Thank you!
TY Sir....HAPPY HOLIDAYS...!
@@JBG949 Merry Christmas buddy! I know I will be playing the "metal version" of Christmas songs for the next several days!
RR was underrated compared to Eddie Van Halen! I remember back in the early 80s i'm short of 55 years old. 40% of people would say how great Randy was but the other 60% was all EDDIE! God rest his soul now but lets get real Randy was better than any heavy rock/metal guitar player back then! Hell today he's still better than most and he was 25 when he died because of that stupid pilot
Imagine what could have been.........
@@DetroitWrecker666 That's what Ozzy said..
@Rage Theatre2020 Wrong Quiet Riot was out there with a record before VH, RR was better than Eddie. Eddie was also hard to work with and a drunk and made his wife leave him! And you got to love his buzzcut Marines haircut
Carlos cavaso was great too.
I agree 100%.. I saw Randy in Detroit at the Masonic Temple. I was blown away like the Memorex man sitting in the chair ad. I was blown away. It seems to me. If you like Ozzys first two albums better then Van Halen first two albums. You are a Randy guy. If not you like van Halen. I liked Randys picking attack fluidness and structure better.
What wonderful Lady!
God bless you really love and miss you man see you on the other side.
When I heard Tribute album I was blown away. The greatest album ever. It's missing lots of tracks from Diary, but has a few Sabbath songs. Just amazing stuff. 🎸
The Majority of "Tribute" was recorded 6 months before the release of "Diary". It would likely have been on the "Blizzard" tour.
@@djay6651 Diary of a madman was recorded 4 months into Blizzard of Ozz. However, Tribute was released in 1987. They could have added more tracks from Diary. Only Believer is on there.
randy hated playin sabbath
@@SpicyBloodBean Well he sure played a very good version of Children of the Grave with a very long solo. It looks like he was having lots of fun. Plus most of his music with Ozzy is still in the same Sabbath style, dark, gothic, and heavy. Ozzy is basically Black Sabbath. Same style. Same approach. Just better solos and improvised.
@@davesaenz3732 No bone movies and You Looking at Me, Looking at You. was randys style he played sabbath because he had too he was under contract. I supposed your unaware ozzy punched randy in the face and sharon threatened to sue him if he left. because he wanted to leave to teach classical guitar. its pretty well known randy hated playing sabbath songs
Randy is the reason I bought a guitar the classical metal approach was everything still better than 99% of what comes out since
So sad. The kind and gentle soul Randy was had to die so young. And the corrupted souls of the Zombie and his Witch are still alive. Life is cruel.
Yeah you really start to wonder if there is any justice in the world.
What make Randy a legend is he was a man who became a god, but would rather be a simple man. Discard all that he could gain in fame just to do what he loved most. Some people would sell their soul for that luxury even if it meant not doing what they loved.
I would have loved 2 have met this precious woman. It's so important 2 have loving parents n this life, u can c how that carried over 2 Randy! Truly a special, wonderful human being, God Bless U Randy Rhoads.
My mate was always banging on about this bloke called Randy Roads back in 1983/4 being the best guitarist ever and I didn't have a clue until i found this video on RUclips
Wow! Yeah, especially for those of us who picked up the Guitar BECAUSE of Randy!
Mama Rhoads Thank you for Randy may he rest in peace 12/6/56 - 3/18/82. Last year I was in the hospital for heart/kidney failure and we was not sure if I was gonna come out of the hospital on my feet or in a box. The hospital doctor asked me while I was in there Scotty if your heart does stop do you want us to do chest compressions CPR any of that? I firmly said NO cuz I'm finally gonna get to go to rock n roll heaven and jam with Randy Rhoads Eddie Van Halen SRV, Hendrix. DO NOT under ANY circumstances take that from me. If my heart stops and I come back I'm coming back very pissed off.
randy and cliff burton had horrible luck.
one dies in a plane crash and the other gets crushed by a bus. RIP to both
Randy rhoads is the most awesome guitar player on this planet
i would really like to get a hold of any model railroad or "tiny little trains" that randy had collected
he had just turned 25 on December 6th 🖤 and passed away in March...
Thanks Mom.
I had read decades ago that Randy on tour didn't do the normal glam rocker thing like drugs and sex. He instead got on his bicycle and went around the area taking pictures.
Rest in peace randy x
i love the classical influence in randys playing i saw him 1979 with quiet riot, carlos cavaso was fantastic at that time with the band snow.
RIP Randy and Dee.....
Randy looks like he had a wonderful family...one thing.....I have never seen his dad or read about him..
Randy dad ran off from his family when i think all the kids were very young, Randy's Mother is so sweet and kind, god Bless Randy and his mother
“I was just warning up” -Randy Rhodes
I couldn't imagine burying a child
It's a fun thing to dwell on because Randy was such a fantastic guitarist and composer.......but, I kinda think he would have dived heavily into classical guitar, got his degree -- as mentioned -- but at some point, pick the electric back up and do some rocking because he was so good at it. I think the curiosity in fusing rock and classical together -- fully -- would have been very intriguing to him.
So much of what we do as musicians is built around inspiration.....and that is....a very tough thing to predict.
However you slice it, Randy would have continued to have done amazing things on the guitar and with his original music....can't see him ever getting into anything that resembled a rut.
Wow. Randy and his sister look so much alike.
RR's family was very sweet.
He would have been a great Classical guitarists 🎸
no doubt
I Love Ozzy I Love Randy and I Love Delores even more.
As an English speaking American, I think I'll have better luck learning to read Asian captions that understanding what Ozzy is saying.
Delores ended up having to sue the Osbournes. After Randy died, Sharon changed his contract in order to screw his estate out of royalties. Ozzy punched Randy when he said he wanted to leave, and they threatened him with lawsuits.
The Osbourne's STILL control ALL of Randy's credits and royalties.
Call Kelle Rhoads, he'll tell you about it.
Bob Daisley has hours and hours of never before publicly released recordings of Randy's. He has been promised by Sharon that they will sue him penniless, if he does ANYTHING with them other than keep them for himself.
Sharon Osbourne is the most crooked person to ever grace the music industry.
@@DetroitWrecker666 Yes Bob has the Holy Grail, and someone did a make a comment to me when I asked about why the Osbournes don't just scratch Bob a check:when you have that kind of money it's never enough....greed begets greed.
I got to meet Kelle at Musonia when he gave me a tour, he was very gracious with his time this on the heels of him having a nasty fall the night before my tour, and I gave him the option to cancel and he refused to cancel. He used a cane to get around.
I made it clear I was not an ozzy or darth hideous fan, and view Randy and Bob as the great songwriting team.
I know Dee sued to get control of Randy's likeness. And I know there is video footage they are sitting on they refuse to release, I mean 1981 Day on the Green was on satellite TV.
Bob could release those recordings for free, and the Osbournes could not really do anything about it. He owns the copyright on them. But he is trying to get what he thinks he is owed from the years of suing them as Darth Hideous screwed him
so I have read this but I have never found evidence that Dee sued them but I have heard that story Darth Hideous had tried to forge a contract after Randy died to cut his royalties. But Randy sent the original to his mom,so they got caught.
THe RHoads and Osbournes have a symbiotic relationship but I sense if you got Kathy and Kelle in a room to take a lie detector it would reveal they only publicly support the Osbournes but deep down do not care for them....
This is amazing
That's when Ozzy punched Randy in the face and Sharon back them into a wall and reminded him that he was on the contract and that they would sue him if you would leave the band
I saw they said that story was confirmed by Tommy Aldridge of all people! I have known him to say something for the sake of starting shit. So, it wouldn't surprise me at all if it's true. Of we could talk about ALL the musicians the Osbourne's have bent over.....
@@DetroitWrecker666 confirmed by Rudy Sarzo and retold to Kelli Garni when Randy was on hiatus...terrible stuff to happen before your star band member and supposed friend who helped ressurect your career dies...
Miss Darth Sideous
I really would've liked to have heard what Randy would've been capable of. I mean, he was constantly seeking out lessons and learning and he was a far better guitarist on Diary than he was on Blizzard. That rarely happens in rock. Guitarists do improve, but they rarely take that much of a leap forward in that short of a period of time after reaching the big record deal. I think he would've done some rock oriented projects. He might've even done the virtuoso thing and put out a bunch of instrumental work. I do think he wanted to get away from the machine, that was the Ozzy show. Being the last man standing of the Blizzard group, his unmatched abilities being the one thing keeping his head above water. He was only around for such a small amount of time, but here we are still talking about him. I wish more stuff from the Randy era was released. There's got to be some good soundboard recordings collecting dust somewhere.
Wonderful people
Poor Guy. He didn't even like to fly and decides to go on a quick joy ride with a pilot who decides to buzz the bus several times for a joke.
The final time he came in too low and the wing clipped the bus and the playing cartwheeled and crashed.
What a senseless way for a fine, young, talented musician to go. What a loss to the world of music.
The band's hair stylist/makeup artist Rachel Youngblood was also on the plane and her loss is no less significant to her family, friends, and colleagues than Randy's was to the music world.
As for the pilot, unfortunately we make foolish decisions in life at times, because quite frankly, who hasn't?
But when those consequences prove deadly, and you take innocent people with you, it becomes an unthinkable tragedy.
RIP Dee and Randy.
Ozzy said that he was "Very drunk... stoned." Thankfully he's now "sober."
Yes, of course! LOL!
Just seeing some old lady say the words 'Quiet Riot' seems odd, haha. Like, it rolled off her tongue as easily as a word that would've seemed more apt to be coming out of her mouth, something like...., oh I don't know..., Bloomers.
I know we are all different. I'm thinking if I was in her place I'd feel extremely guilty. Maybe she does. And just doesn't show it. Maybe she cries all the time in private when she thinks about her son. If she's still alive that is. I don't know if she is or not. I can't help thinking about the fact that she was the one who encouraged Randy to join Ozzy's band in the first place. Maybe if she hadn't he would still be alive. She says he was happy enough to stay with Quiet Riot. Too bad he didn't. In fact the day of the plane crash he went up in that plane because he wanted to take aerial photos to send to his mother. He was actually afraid of flying. So apparently he was extremely close to his mother and wanted to do everything he could for her. And I guess he paid the ultimate price for that.
ANYBODY HAVE A LINK TO THE JAPANESE DOCUMENTARY THAT THIS WAS TAKEN FROM??...USED TO BE EASY TO FIND....
I have to look on one of my hard drives. But I'll look for it. Not sure they will let me upload it. That was the problem last time..... The Osbourne machine blocked it.
I also have a ton of live footage of Ozzy. Not with Randy but still, it's pretty cool. Again, the Osbourne machine will not allow it.
Maybe ask Sharon Osbourne. 😆
Seriously tho, I'll look for ya.
This is an interesting piece of history.
Delores should have hired EVH as a teacher, he would have taught Randy a lot!
They were about the same age, and very much aware of each other. Even ripping off each other's licks. I honestly don't believe EVH would have made a very good teacher. Randy was a very educated musician.
@@DetroitWrecker666 True that! How about Jake E Lee? He was taught classical piano and had knowledge of the modes, even did techniques Randy never did. Or even Lynch who actually taught at the school.
@@backtoshallabal6662 I consider Jake E Lee as the most underrated rock guitar player to date.
randy and kathy looked really the same then
RIP Randy and Delores.
absolutely two legends
Randy's sister looks a lot like him.
I never hear about how Quiet Riot reacted to Randy joining Ozzy. Was Randy still in Quiet Riot at that time?
@sumbuddy63 Randy wanted to just stay with Quiet Riot. His mom talked him into audition with Ozzy. Who told him he had the job but then it was months before Ozzy contacted him again.
That's when Randy went to Europe the first time and recorded Blizzard of Oz.
@@DetroitWrecker666 You have to wonder if Q.R. thought after hearing Blizzard and Diary that all that incredible and ground breaking guitar work could have been theirs.
@sumbuddy63 I have always considered Bob Daisley to be a person who helped Randy to unlock a lot of creativity. A lot of the songs we hear on Blizzard and Diary were riffs Randy had for a long time.
When he got with Bob he really kind of worked it out it seems.
Ozzy was crazy.... Randy loved trains....
😭
His sister looks just like him!!!
Those kanji subtitles really helped me decipher what in the hell Ozzy was saying.
Best there ever was best there ever will be end of story God's tavern with Jimi and Eddie 🌋🏦🚂🌠🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
Such a shame.
..if he would've followed his first inclination, his intuition, ..he'd be alive today.
Thing is that, this story has been told like this over and over and there is some un-thruths in it.
What Randy really wanted to do is get his degree and then continue on in rock music. His first intent was to get away from Ozzy. Randy was a professional, looking to master his craft. The other guys he worked with were a lot like that...except for Ozzy. He was a drunken drug addict and as unprofessional as one can get. Randy didn't want to be stuck in a band with him.
he would be alive today if just about anything changed along the way including Darth Hideous downloading the Aycock info to Duncan, or if she had not allowed the estranged wife on the bus, I mean anything could have changed that or perhaps not allowing a guy who had been doing coke all night take the band up in a plane, Don AIrey is lucky to be alive.
@@DetroitWrecker666 So his brother, Kelle , is convinced Randy was simply wanting to stop touring but he would do another album with Ozzy especially once Bob was back in the fold.
Randy sort of shrugged off Ozzy's addictions though he was letting him know he should let up
@Dave Wight If you are a Randy fan. Do yourself a favor and go buy Bob Daisleys book "for facts sake" it is his personal diary from that time period along with the rest of his career. There is no question about the truth of what went on day to day during those recordings with Randy because, Bob kept a diary every day (diary of a madman) right? It truly is a fantastic book. I highly recommend it to any fan of Randy. I bought it strictly for that. It's so good I ended up reading all of it.
@DetroitWrecker666 I have the book by Bob Daisley...and the John Stix book.
Also, Jimmy Degrasso is in my buddies' band and he talks to Bob frequently they bonded over the ultimate sin time where Jimmy backed Bob and was essentially fired.
The best guitarists loved the instrument. It was their life. Randy was going to quit being a rock star to go off and master classical guitar. EVH wouldnt go out and party bc he just wanted to practice guitar. Joe Satriani and Steve Vai practiced like 10 hours a day. You have to want it that much.
i wonder what Rhoads thought of EVH debut album Feb 10th 1978
Probably thought, oh damn
Randy also played Sharons flapper
I experienced the rock star thing and we were just a local bar band
Somehow I understood 85% of what Ozzy said.
I'm from Ozzy's home town I understood every word, less than 85% made any sense
NIHILISTLIVESMATTER hey another fellow Brummie,
Pretty sure Sharon was responsible
She didn't wanna pay him
No Sharon wanted to pay him...as little as possible though
4:49 sound like old video game effect.
Anyone here fluent is speaking Ozzy-nese?
A lot of the kids at UCLA don't even know about this! There is a locker there though dedicated to Jim Morrison though. Got lots of LSD stickers all over it.

Imagine had Rhoads lived and somewhere down the line Rhoads and Iommi would play together on stage from a Ozzy Solo and Sabb written dark and heavy song? The stage would be the castles meet Stonehenge. Both Rhoads and Iommi dressed in black with lazer lights pointing at them.

Randy told OZZY he was going to join a country band because he would make better money and that pissed OZZY off LOL 😂!
