Vocal ANALYSIS of the most INSANE Guitar Solo! Ozzy's "Mr. Crowley" has me in awe!

- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2022
- I heard Randy Rhoads for the first time in Crazy Train, and I was blown into utter shock and disbelief at his talents. This time I needed a live recording to see him in action. Couple that with Ozzy's unique singing ability and we have a performance I've now had on repeat a few times now. This was absolutely insane!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Ozzy Osbourne performing "Mr Crowley" for the first time.

Elizabeth you may know, or not, but Randy was a classical trained guitarist. There are recordings of him playing. Ozzy always had great guitar players even after Randy passed.
The Charismatic Voice, the best version of Mr Crowley is on the Randy Rhoads tribute album, released in 1987. The second solo on that version of the track, is simply other worldly. It's absolutely magic
Too much yaking let the song play then you comment moran
A bigger fan of ol Mr. Crowley is Jimmy Page.
And have you ever seen Motlet Crues mascot?
Look that up
@@alfredromero4784 you spelled moron wrong.... who's the moron!?
There's a reason why Randy is so respected even 39 years after his passing... if I remember correctly, he was only 24 when he died. Nobody can imagine how his career would have evolved had he lived on, because he was so ahead of his time.
Was 40 years ago this past march.
I think it was Ozzy that said that Randy wanted to quit and go back to being a teacher again. But such a shame, one of the best guitar players there ever was.
Same reasons why Cliff Burton has still such a Fan base
Absolute LEGEND!
She said it on this video. He was 24 yo.
A wizard’s voice is never flat. He sings precisely where means to.
This comment deserves way more recognition 👏
Fucking brilliant
Indeed
Alright then, Keep your staccato
That's right
You'll notice, in many live performances, the childlike wonder and enthusiasm in Ozzy's face whenever he watches Randy play.
Yeah. Ozzy knew he was going to be just fine going Solo at that moment.
He was happy to steal Randy from Quiet Riot.
What's the alternative?
Because Randy was the best. RIP Randy. We love you ❤
This isn't live in concert but I'll take anything from this period. There are actual live videos of Randy but few and far in between. My buddy and I had tickets to see Ozzy with Randy in 81 at a small one level venue (3500 capacity maybe) and Ozzy cancelled the show. Didn't realize there would never be another chance. Saw Ozzy when they resumed after Randy's tragic accident with Brad Gillis. It was still really good. Also love Rudy Sarzo. Saw him again in '83 with Jake E Lee.
He was like a kid watching something naughty 😂
I consider myself so fortunate to have seen Randy play live twice. Pure guitar genius!
Properly jealous of that..however i was lucky enough to see Bon just eight weeks before he died...so i was fortunate too.
I'm with Spanish Peaches. So jealous. I wasn't quit old enough to go to concerts yet. But my very first concert was Ozzy (Bark at the Moon tour) with Metallica opening. It was just a few months before Cliff Burton died. I was able to see him perform Whiplash. RIP to both. Some of the greatest in their craft.
Nothing I can do...jelous!
once for me. '81 music mountain upstate ny. i was 15.
Well don't tease us! How was the show?
If you'll notice, during the whole the second solo (which lasts nearly a 3rd of the song), Ozzy just stands there watching Randy playing.
He LOVED Randy.
I love that about this video. It's like Ozzy scored a ticket to watch the greatest guitar solo up close, and the price was for him to sing a few verses.
That's honestly so sweet, you can see Ozzy beaming. He really did love that man.
It just tears at my heart to see Randy playing. He was a brilliant guitarist, blending classical guitar and rock guitar, forming these melodic solos that move through the octaves forwarding the song. He was taken from us song young. What would have done if he had lived.
@@RJTheBikeGuy the one solace I find in those that were gone too soon is that even though that's true - they still have that magic from beyond to inspire and touch people's souls. Considering how much Randy DID do, and is STILL managing to do in 2022...yeah it'd be absolutely nutty to think how things would be if he had a living influence over that.
The drummer, Tommy Aldridge, is still playing at this level well into his 60s. He's superhuman.
Touring with Whitesnake right now.
Tommy is the Bonzo of the South/Midwest/whatever. Black Oak Arkansas!
70s* :P
Tommy is the greatest rock drummer live. I have been lucky to witness fir decades.
I thought he was pushing 70. Apparently he's dragging it. :)
I’ve never seen her so floored by guitar work in a song. She actually looked like she was in pain listening to it. Randy played on a whole other level with this song. He dialed it up to 11!
I agree! Wonder what she would react like when she hears Jimi Hendix at Woodstock!!!
That's the look of euphoria.
I love your reaction of hearing the music for first time priceless
You should've seen her reaction to Dimebag's guitar solo in Cemetary Gates (Pantera). She LOVED it! But then, who wouldn't? I can't imagine anyone with any sense or taste who couldn't appreciate the extreme amount of talent Dime and Randy had. It makes me sick how soon they were taken from us. The world was robbed of their greatness and of even greater things to come from them both.😢
Well said. As a guitar player I think it's neat that a vocal coach would pay attention to the guitar. What I've noticed is that she listens at a different level. She picks up on things and then some.
Oh Lord,please send me a woman that appreciates music and cool guitar solos as much as Elizabeth. Amen.
When she says she has never been so excited to hear a guitar player. That’s when I know she truly understands how great RR was and is!
I saw how blown away she was by the intro and was immediately thinking "shit, wait till she hears the solo"
Yes I agree,Randy Rhodes a awesome guitar player and Ozzy Osbourne a awesome singer.I remember in 1981, when I was 15
🤘🤘🤘🤘
She wasn't ready for the thunderbolt 🤘🤘
Totally agree with this comment! He was and will always be the absolute BEST guitarist!❤️
Randy was a devout classical guitarist and never stopped taking lessons, even while on tour with Ozzy. Usually he ended up teaching the teacher but it was always a learning experience for him as well. His mastery of mode and meter is unmatched to this day. He was, and always will be, one of the greatest guitarists of all time. RIP Randy Rhoads.
Darrell always used to do the same thing too....
El guitarrista de lo que no hay y ozy nunca me gustó ese tipo Bruce dikinson le puso en su sitio largua vida a iron maiden
@@aurelianogallego9377 Gibberish much?
Sad to one most greatest guitar player Randy Rhodes killed in a plane crash.
What I love about this is when it basically changes from a vocal analysis to an appreciation of Randy's solos. That look of total awe, the tear to the eye basically sums up the feeling that any guitarist or indeed musician would feel when hearing this legend .
He is quoted as being an influence by so many and One can only imagine what he would have achieved had he not been taken so young.
R.I.P. Randy Rhoads.
I think she realized who the real talent was .......and who carried whom.
I still can't really listen to it without tearing up. Some of the most beautiful guitar playing of all time underscored by the horrible tragedy that would take place not long after it was recorded. Hearing it brings the magnitude of the loss even more sharply into focus. RIP Randy.
@@MachLei at day's end he was a musician, thrust into the rock and roll lifestyle who adapted beautifully and only wanted to get better
Because the vocals are hopeless 😂 😂😂 but we love Ozzy for what he is ❤
Yea for sure. I was so hoping she would do that. She did !!!! 👍
Randy Rhodes is my favorite guitarist. My favorite story about him was that when he auditioned for Ozzy-and this was told by Ozzy, himself-he came in with his guitar and practice amp, played some stuff and Ozzy immediately said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop right there! You got the job!” And Randy said, “But I haven’t played anything yet, I was just warming up”
Everytime I hear both solos in this song, tears fill my eyes. Randy is the greatest of all times.
Randy who? Tony Iommi played lead guitar
Randy Rhodes?
@@midnittkr Yeah, this is from Ozzy's early solo career after he left Sabbath and hooked up with Randy Rhodes.
@@darthsabbath57 Thanks....I was never the biggest Sabbath fan back then but did have a couple of albums/8 tracks! We were lucky to have so much KILLER music to listen to as "legendary" albums were released weekly and often times more than 1 at once....the 70's were the golden age of ROCK and the 60's were second Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll 4ever
@@midnittkr as someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s I have to agree. The 60s and 70s were a magical period for rock n roll that I don’t think can ever be replicated. Sabbath, Hendrix, Janis, the early days of punk rock… so much good stuff.
It honestly makes me sad that it seems like rock n roll and guitar driven music is… I don’t want to say “dead” but on life support maybe?
"Woh, I need to go back and hear that solo again" Yeah, we've all been saying that about this song since 1980. RIP Randy.
One of the best short solos of all time!!!!
Yes! That ascending flurry in the "Believer" solo as an example.... I have to replay it every time it comes on.
Yes ❤RIP Randy
You have permanently gained a forever metal head card due to your appreciation of the late St. Rhodes
Yes, Randy was a GOD of the neo classical... His solos with Ozzy are masterpieces
Is there anyone out here who thinks that Elizabeth reactions to music are anything less than endearing and utterly heartwarming? The woman is almost brought to Tears by guitar solos for Christ sakes. I just find the way she immerse herself in these reactions to be completely hypnotizing. It's not often you see someone who is so unashamedly immersed in the listening experience
Thats the reason why she is actually the only reaction channel I regularly watch. You can really see that she just loves and lives music. Thats cool.
Maybe, this is something for her, too: ruclips.net/video/H421xeL75NU/видео.html
End of Green, german gothic rock band, the singer has an AMAZING vocal range when playing the songs live. Maybe have a look ;-)
I feel that way about Randy too, it's very relatable.
Another thing I love about her is her total comfort in getting goofy on camera! Intelligent, talented, and silly! What a great combination in a woman! Or for that matter, a person in general.
She's also about to burst with her baby so a touch emotional? Your point made though, she IS the best on YT, reacting/analyzing to anything/everything. With her personality bubbling forth, she'd make an 8yr old singing his/her A, B, C's a fun adventure.
I totally agree,she's definitely into what she's doing and is informative and just a fresh breath of musical wisdom.
Ozzy, you can’t understand a word he says, yet we we all can understand him perfectly when he sings!
Cocaine a hell of a drug 🤣🤣
That would in part be due to being from the Blackcountry 😂
Its like the the Peakyblinders on vowel steroids 🧙♂️🤣😎
Since his new doctors took him off the dozens of medications he was on, but weren't needed, after his 4 wheeler accident, he is much easier to understand. A lot of his trademark way of speaking was to being over medicated by bad doctors.
speak for yourself
Brits from certain regions often have accents difficult for American ears...
Then again, put a Bronx native and say, an East Texan together and communication may prove problematic...
S.W.
Theres a story about randy being in Europe. While he was there he said im looking fo a guitar teacher. One of the people who works for the band said to randy, you're so good why do you need more guitar lessons. Randy replied, because i can learn something new everyday. Thats why randy is the best and will always be the best. His approach to voicing the strings is what made him something special. Nobody has even come close.
Always humble and never thought himself to be better than others. A truly pure soul
You finally got to hear the greatness of Randy Rhodes. Probably the best guitarist ever.
Literally brought a tear to my eye to watch her react to Randy and love how she kept replaying the solos. Her emotions hit me in the feels. Don’t even know what it was: sadness that Randy is gone, the beauty of music, seeing someone discover this music for the first time, a combo of all of the above or what
Word the second time I welled up . And the studio version on record is a better solo , if she listened to that . .or of course .. Tribute. Which he didn't even like that show lol ridonk . .hahah
It was the clearest display of audiophila I have ever seen… fun to watch but almost X-rated at the same time. 😊
@@MakerBees333 Yes I wish she was my musical instrument, with those expressions of surprise and approval! This footage taped in obscurity prior to a random Canadian show was seemingly lost for decades before surfacing as practically the only live video of Randy performing that exists. That no one could know of the importance at the time. At first seeming plodding on the metronome, the two solos ..... the cameraman must have not known what was coming because he zeroed in on Randy a little slow the first time, but not the second ...... benefit from that tempo's space. Somehow Randy could pull off live versions of studio parts that were multitracked without sounding like anything was missing and even adding those squeals that are even better than hers!
Amen
Came here just to say just that, exactly. I think I fell in love with her just a bit!
I love watching younger generations be blown away by our old folks music. Randy Rhodes was 1 of the most reveered guitarists of our times.
The scary part is what will our children be enjoying watching THEIR children discover in 30 years. DEAR LORD!!!
Rhoads*
@@THCya97961 I'm only 18 right now, but when I have kids, they're gonna be raised on 80s rock and metal. I hate most of the music from my generation.
Amen hon, back in the late 70s and early 80s Randy was .... a virtuoso, an artist, among a billion bands and guitarists. Remember when he was in Quiet Riot? :o I miss those times, but God has given me the sight to be appreciative of what i've got now too. :) By the way, you're way cute !
Randy Rhoads was the only revered guitar player of our time oh ya and Stevie Ray
Shoutout to the fact that this is a live studio or concert performance no auto tune no going over certain parts of the song to perfect it how it comes out is how it will be forever played.
Randy was a classical guitarist and never stopped taking lessons. He was a guitar god. There has never been anyone that good
Watching Elizabeth’s face melt upon hearing RR just takes me back to being a teenager and dropping the needle on “Blizzard of Ozz” for the first time. I’d figured out some guitar stuff by then, and we had Van Halen 1 to chew on, but Randy was simply otherworldly. Still stings that we lost him so shortly thereafter.
It brought a tear to my eye, watching Elizabeth’s reaction to Randy’s first solo. But then again, listening to Randy on the Blizzard & Diary albums always does anyway. And also, I think she feels the pain that we’ve lived with for 40 years. We’ve been cheated out of a wealth of music, with Randy being taken too soon from us. Saying that, he was leaving Ozzy to become a classical guitarist…
Right with you Clay 🙏🏻
Exactly. Same here! Long live Randy. Long live Ozzy!
Yep... I remember both VH and Blizzard of Oz causing me to practice 8hrs/day for many years during the 80's
I think there’s a video out there of Ozzy hearing an isolated RR recording. Was pretty cool and touching.
Just watch Ozzy's gleeful face when Randy launches into his solo. It's all right there in that moment. Ozzy knew he had the finest guitarist in the world on that stage. You gotta love it.
Great comment you nailed it!
Yep you can see the huge smile at that moment
Ozzy asked Gary Moore first, Gary turned him down but recommended Randy.
To me.....this is the absolute best Ozzy/Randy thing there is available. Randy just doesn't stop.
Your reaction to the solo was pure gold. You got it... So happy to see someone not too familiar to guitar and synth sounds be such happy over this great work.
Randy’s solo on Diary of a Madman is one of the best ever written. Odd time signature and odd chords, yet it fits perfectly. A true virtuoso.
100% Agreed, and also the ending solo on Tonight. For me you can feel the emotion he's putting into both. Personally Diary is the better of the 2 albums. Randy didn't like it because he felt rushed, and it wasn't as polished as he wanted, but for me because of that looseness it has more feeling to it.
My favorite album
All time favorite Ozzy song and one of my all time favorite songs.
Back in the day, we'd play "Tonight" and as it was fading out, we'd slowly keep turning the volume up. I'm sure everybody has done that, at one time or another. It's one of the most mind-blowing solos ever recorded. I really can't think of any other guitarist who played that way. Randy was like the rock star from another galaxy. Truly unique.
tonight, sato, diary of a madman, over the mountain...that album is just too good and Randy is a genius for fitting so much good stuff in two albums released only one year apart
The song “Diary of a Madman” is Randy’s masterpiece.
Unfortunately, I don’t think you will find live video of it though, just studio recording.
While I would hate to pick and choose any of Randy's work, I would have to go with Revelation Mother Earth. The fluidity of his playing is unmatchable. I do hold Diary as one of my favorites though, it was one of the firsts I learned back then.
Yea, unlikely to find a good quality live video with Randy? I agree with you just doing the studio version. At least then you get to hear all the 'extra's in the studio version that you would miss in the live version.
@@Tharanicus I don’t think Randy ever played Diary live. Most of the songs on the diary album were written in the studio under pressure, so they only played a few of them live (since they didn’t know them well)
Diary Of A Madman even features opera-ish voices at the end, which our host might appreciate.
@@SECURITY39 This was filmed live
It's my 5th or 6th rewatch since this was posted, and I'm just as enamored with your response to the solo as the first. Randy's ability to move us is unparalleled. RR Forever!!!
Dear Elizabeth. I'm a 63 yr-old guitarist from Scotland. In 1980 I heard this song in Glasgow at a pub. I was completely gobsmacked with Randy Rhoads. I'd been in an Black Sabbath cover band in the mid seventies throughout the U.K., so I was already an avid fan of Ozzy's. But Randy, He greatly impacted mine spirit and me guitar playing. It brought me to tears to see your (new) reaction to him. Don't have the words to thank you, wee lassie. 🍀🎸🌹🎸🍀
Her face/reaction is priceless! Much respect to you sir, hailing from the land of my ancestors!
Being in a Sabbath cover band already in the 70s, that's bloody awesome. Huge respect, sir.
I felt exactly the same way People that know and love the brilliance of Randy are all on the same page The only reason why I am a musician today is because of Randy There's people that get it and people that don't I'm right with you Brother
Iommi Eat your heart out! Did you meet the king of evil himself, Mr Osborne?
@@bruinscat Haste Ye Back, BruinsCat ! 🍀🎸🍀
What I like best with this video is how even Ozzy is astonished and looks at Randy as if he tries to remember what planet he found him on.
I could talk for hours about Randy’s solos. It’s incredible watching you listen to them the first time. The coolest thing. . . I’ve listened to the solos thousands of times and I still feel exactly the same. And almost cry every time still. No one better.
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE REACTION OF ALL REACTIONS. IVE WATCHED IT SEVERAL TIMES.
SEEING YOU ENJOYING RANDY AS SO MANY OF US DO ...
PRICELESS !
LIKE RANDY HIMSELF.
Fun fact, Randy Rhoads mom owned a classical music school. He quickly became a teacher there after basically learning everything there was to learn at the age or 17 or whatever it was. Makes sense that his compositions would grab Elizabeth more than others. He was truly one of the greats. Gone far too soon.
Thanks For Info... Love him More
There are two university scholarships for music students awarded in his name at UCLA and California State University, Northridge. I believe his mom used to award them up to her death a few years ago.
Randy was 24 in this video I think. He died the following year at age 25.
Randy Rhoads was definitely one of the top 10 rock guitarists of all times... Right up there with Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Beck, Iommi, Blackmore, May and SRV (not in that order)... IMO!
Randy Died too young
If you really want to appreciate Randy's classical background PLEASE listen to Diary of a Madman. It's beyond next level, just a masterpiece IMO.
Definitely.
Without a doubt, DOAM is a great and wonderful, almost operatic piece of music.
You beat me to it. That Song Is Awesome
ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!!!
I'd do Over the Mountain before that one, but definitely worth doing.
Great reaction! Ozzy recorded 8 albums in the 70s with the biggest band in the history of Rock and Heavy Metal: Black Sabbath. After this, he began his successful solo career in the early 80s with two masterful albums: Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and Diary of a Madman (1981), both with the phenomenal guitarist, the genius Randy Rhoads. Ozzy's voice: unique, impressive timbre, a living legend...Immortal...
It's so emotional how a vocal reaction turns into a praise of one of the best guitarrists of all times and probably the best guitar solo of all times. Rhandy was so talented and ahead of his time and this solo is really moving.
The more I hear Randy’s solos, the more I want to cry.
For real
"Diary of a Madman" has to be next, right? With the Orff-ish choir and creepy and sometimes operatic atmosphere, flirting with classical music, it has to be. ;)
Also, few singers can convey sadness and sorrow in their voice the way Ozzy can.
My all time favorite song by ozzy!
Definitely she needs to hear Diary...studio version though
This right here, Diary should be the next one!
Another vote for Diary.
My first concert. Randy Rhodes had past away; guitarist from Night Ranger covered remaining tour. Seen him at the Oakland Coliseum, early eighties. Best song.
R.I.P. Randy Rhodes - The pioneer of classical chords and scales in metal guitar.
Randy always played with his heart, you can hear it . Legends never die.
heart and a lot of knowledge
Yes Randy Rhodes a awesome guitar player, I remember in 1981, when I was 15,May he RIP💐
He was one with his guitar
His mother said he would play the same thing over and over trying to put as much feeling into it as possible
"Randy Rhoads makes me stumble over my words in excitement" possibly one of the best descriptions of Randy's musical genius!
Randy Rhoads is the embodiment of the difference between knowing how to play a guitar and knowing how to bring a guitar to life. No amount of technical knowledge will ever bring you close to Rhoads, Cream-era Clapton or even Brad Paisley.
Watching you fall in love with this song brings me back to being 14 and hearing this song for the first time.
Love how passionate she gets describing Randy’s solo.
If she likes this so much, she should check out suicide solution live 1981. If she would really like to see what randy was capable of
At 11:57 kinda...
Or his solo on Paranoid on the Tribute album. Holy shit.
Album. Version is much better. This version is slowed down
Randy Roads was trained as a classical guitarist before transferring into heavy metal due to his mother’s advice on the emerging metal scene. Coming from such a technical background in his youth just made heavy metal easy for him. Let’s not forget he wrote the song crazy train.
If you want to here his raw talent lessonl to Dee it is acoustic and is amazing
@@user-op8uz1qt2v If you can get your hands on the first Quiet Riot album released in Japan, you can here the origins of Dee and couple other songs that ended up in Blizzard of Oz.
Interesting good facts!!! Randy roads among the best!!!
You wanna hear something CRAZY. You know how he wanted to quit the band. Ozzy said , make a little bread first.
Did he possibly live through the accident? Or just fake his death. There are pictures of someone who looks a lot like him. A lot!! But female. There is no bigger fan than me. He's my all time favorite. But it has me wondering. If you saw the pictures I've seen you just might think that this could possibly be true. I'm not meesing with you either.
@@nomasterabovemenoslavebelo3628He is quite dead sadly, a lot of people look alike but Randy did die in a plane crash. Elvis died too.
9:35 her expression and the sound she makes. She now understands why Randy Rhoads has, and always will have, such a following. Phenomenally talented player. Forever missed.
I love the fact that you appreciate not just good music, but good musicians. Your pure reactions and take on Randy are spot on!
The drummer by the way, is Tommy Aldridge - check him out - another musicians musician in his craft !
Diary of a Madman is their magnum opus. Thank you, Elizabeth, for all you do, and congrats to you, your husband, and the new addition to your family 🙂
Yes diary of a mad man I would love to see you on here one of the most awesome songs that he has done and definitely one of the best albums also
Absolutely! Diary of a Madman is my favorite Ozzy song! EPIC!!!!!
Randy makes me cry every single time I see or listen to him with Ozzy. Such a gifted musician…
I saw Ozzy with Randy at Music Hall in Cleveland in the Blizzard of Oz tour - I was about 10 rows back from Randy and I will never forget it. I had tickets to Ozzy's Diary of a Madman tour (also in Cleveland) in January of 1982, but a snowstorm coupled with a broken down car forced me to miss it (I still have my untorn ticket stubs). A few months later Randy was dead and I was pretty devastated. Just imagine what great music the world was deprived of when that happened! Randy will always be in my top 5 rock guitar players list.
@@ericchapman1221 I never had the change to see him live… and indeed, he would have made so much more astonishing music…🥲
Ozzy still struggles with it. Like bad, from what I hear.
Me too, notes flying like beautiful butterflies right?
I am so happy to see people still today discovering the musical genius of Randy Rhoads.
He was the #1 influence on me to pick up a guitar in 1983 and I still play his guitar parts to this day.
It was such a loss to the music world the day he died.
Imagine what he would be doing today if he had not taken that plane ride.
Great review as usual. I love to see your responses and analyses of all genres of music.
Thank you for the entertainment.
Let's not overlook Tommy Aldridge on drums and Rudy Sarzo on bass. They are a huge part of this sound. Thank you for the videos I love your channel.
A performance do Rudy Sarzo tb é incrível😊
i am not crying your crying --- --- We miss you Randy-- Ozzy truly loved him
Also, Randy was a virtuoso in his own right. I read somewhere, that when they would go on tour, he would seek out guitar teachers on the hopes of just learning something else to put in his tool box. However, he usually ended up teaching these guitar teachers something they didn't know instead. Remarkable musician
Wow, thats so cool! Imagine him goin to those teachers and start to play his technique with his unique tune style and overwhelming sense of rythim and creativity.
Teachers be like : \(O o O)/
Part of being great is knowing there is still always things to be learned
You have to remember this was recorded live. No tricks, no after production. Just them jamming. This was like a practice session. A jam session, if you will.
It wouldn't happen now. It would be over produced and compressed and any natural flow would be interrupted.
I went to the Blizzard of oz tour in 1981 the concert was so magical; the concert hall was lite with Bic lighters. the feeling was absolutely amazing you had to be there loved it.💙💙💙
I think the word you're searching for when describing the feeling you get from listening to Randy Rhodes is giddy. That raw emotion you feel is everything he put into it. Being a classically trained guitarist made his transition into metal seamless and special.
Randy is the reason I picked up a guitar in 1980. 42 years later and he remains my favorite guitarist of all time. What a super legend, way ahead of his time.
all time A leaguer
Yes Randy Rhodes a awesome guitar player and Ozzy Osbourne is awesome singer, I remember in 1981, when I was 15😊
The only Guitarist that can bring me to tears even 41 years after first hearing him play the Incredible Phenomenal Randy Rhoads!
Exactly! hearing his brilliance makes me well up too. It never gets old.
We had Randy....They have Justin. Thats why young peoples musical culture is what it is.....I may be old but I was there, no regrets.
Randy Rhoads had lightning in his fingers. He was absolutely scintillating. Ozzy and Rhoads were the perfect combination.
Such expressive and beautiful guitar work from Randy supported by Rudy and Tommy. Ozzy has worked with amazing musicians.
Randy's dad taught me how to play drums. He was an incredible guy in his own right.
That's pretty dam cool 🤘🏻🍻
One of my Brothers best friends had been a student of Randy's and he unfortunately just passed away not too long ago. He would talk to me about Randy and he had so much joy to talk about the experience each time.
You should do a response to the song, "Diary of a Madman." It's a miniature opera inside a song which is orchestrated and carried by the whole band, especially Randy.
I would have to say my favorite piece of Randy's work ever. Love this song
Definitely mate :)!
Definitely one of my favorite songs, EVER! Please review "Diary of a Madman."
Agreed work of art
Amen brother
That solo is one of my favorites of all time. A great light went out when Randy passed away.
I am amazed when I watch him play...I know it can't be easy to do that, to play with such emotion and intensity, and yet his face is in a calm serene place. That has to be an amazing feeling, to play at that level with such comfort and belief in your abilities. Then watch the audience reaction to what you are doing with them, gosh.
This woman is so pure, I love her content. My weekly dose of serotonin.
Also, Randy Rhodes! What a shame we couldn't of had 20/30 more years of his brilliance.
And the same goes for Cliff Burton and Freddie Mercury. Can you just imagine what brilliant songs with Cliff or Freddie Metallica and Queen could still produce even today? But we've learnt more about Rob Trujillo who's really a good fit in Metallica, he also has a really good technique but I think he is also musically trained, I'm sure about it...
My dose too!
He got caught up in black magic
I agree, with both parts of your comment.
1. She has a purity of soul and an excellent talent of her own. Real recognizes real.
2. Randy would have given us so much more. But at the same time I'm extremely happy with what he left us. Truly one of the best.
shoulda been lars?
Elizabeth, since you like classical guitar, you should listen to "Dee" from Randy. It's on "Blizzard Of Ozz" and the Tribute album. He considers it his signature piece. He wrote it for his mom. It's only 45 seconds long, but incredibly beautiful. I know you will like it.
I totally went here too, in my comment. Great minds.... lol
There‘s a jet.
When did he ever say it was his signature song?
Had it played for our Wedding song it was Wonderful!
Randy Rhodes was an amazing classically trained guitarist who never stopped learning. It's such a shame he died so young. Dee is a great instrumental that Randy did with Ozzy. You should check it out. Crazy Train is the most heard and well known song with Randy playing guitar with Ozzy. I remember being in Junior High School and learning he passed away. It devastated many of us in school. It seemed everyone at the school knew who he was and listened to Ozzy. Several went home early from school because of it. It was a different time in the 80's. Musicians were put on a very high pedestal. Their lives were our lives. We lived and breathe music. I'm very fortunate to of had my formative years in the 70's and 80's. Music was real. You can hear the rawness of Randy's guitar. No auto-tune, no electronic correction. Amps with no modelers. Volume wide open to get the sound. You felt the music.
My sister learned Dee note for note. I'm 55 now and still remember her fingernails clicking like little hammers all over the fretboard. I tried to teach her Crazy Train while she tried to teach me Dee. Randy was a major influence of mine, and my sister's guitar playing early on. Same for Alex Lifeson & Steve Howe.
Thank you for these reaction videos. It's heartwarming to see and hear someone of a much younger generation appreciate great music to the same level I do, without a preconceived bias.
Watching you watching that first Randy solo might by the greatest RUclips moment. Watching you makes me feel like my first time hearing Randy play that. And it never, ever gets old.
Your face during the first of Randy's solo's is the exact same face we all had the day this album hit the airwaves. Believe me, we were all just as stunned and completely blown away!
💯👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Ozzy singing: “he has incredible diction”
Ozzy talking: what the hell did he just say? 😂
Glad you chose this video, Ozzy just stands there in awe watching Randy play…
It always blows my mind how clear Ozzy's voice is when he sings. When he talks, you'd be lucky to understand 2 words, but his singing voice is always perfectly understandable.
Exactly. She mentioned his great diction in his singing. It's amazing he has it compared to his speaking.
You almost wonder if anyone has suggested to Ozzy to just always sing.
Singing comes from a different region of the brain than speaking. That's why people with dementia struggle to remember regular things but can sing entire songs and listening to music "snaps" them out of the dementia for a short time. It's crazy to see it work. There was a famous singer (can't remember his name) who did some duets with Lady Gaga before he passed of his old, crooner style songs. He couldn't remember much of anything but as soon as Lady Gaga sang the first verse he did the rest perfectly.
@@joshuawiedenbeck6944 I presume you're talking about Tony Bennett
Ozzy also has a VERY thick accent that doesn't come out as hard when he sings.
Randy and Jimi... man, if they only lived longer!
Every time i hear Randy playing, i have tears in my eyes, and always a thought of how damn pity it was for Ozzy to lose this Genius Friend and Musician... and for us all....
I know, right? I still get chills when I hear those guitar moments and I've been listening to this song for almost 40 years
Exactly!!! Me to my friend. I still love it. 🇺🇸🎵🎸🎵🎸🇺🇸
Randy is the GOAT. God bless him. His playing still brings me to tears of joy.
Just a reminder that this year marks exactly 40 years since Randy's death. The fact that people like me still listen to the music created by a man who died more than a decade before I was born is testament to his evergreen genius.
I still get the same feeling she does every time I hear this song. Been listening to it since it came out. Het head would explode if she'd listen to the Tribute version.
Same here! I agree with the others saying the Tribute live version takes it to another level too!
I’m 55 years old. I’m Japanese.
It reminds me my school days .
I was into ozzy’s music such as mr.clory,iI don’t know, crazy train.
These were amazing songs that impacted us.
He passed away when he was 25 years old. It’s too young to die.
His talent must be loved by gods too much .
But we can remember him every time we hear these songs.
My English is not so good.
But I want to say about Randy Rhoads.
He is my favorite guitarist.😂
well said, Sir!
I was lucky to see Ozzy and Randy Rhoads live in January 1981, just a few months before his accident. Unforgettable.
@@dmmcmah1 is Vince your dad?
@@dmmcmah1 me too
It is transcendent, and thereby almost an irrelevant song to people because of it's divine.
My favorite Ozzy song ever! Randy's solos on this song bring melancholic tears to my eyes every time, especially watching the live version. So unbelievably good. Great video, thanks you!
Mama I’m coming home would be a great one to do. The way his sing in that is different than his usual and sounds absolutely incredible.
I read in a magazine where Randy Rhoads said that he was not impressed with his solos. He said to him he didn't think it was real music, but said this is what kids want to hear and this is what I was hired to play. So I play it. He then goes on talking about classical music in which he was highly interested in and thought highly of. His statement blew my mind.
its probably a similar scenario to alot of singers hating their own voice. music is a weird relationship. to the artist it may seem like not good enough, but to the audience its heaven on earth.
I would imagine that talented artists have a lot better ears than we do for what something SHOULD sound like and they have a clear idea in their head of what something should sound like, so if it doesn't meet that higher standard they hate it
I know he had told Ozzy he would be leaving after the tour to pursue studying or teaching classical guitar, so that statement wouldn't surprise me, but I do question why he would pursue a career, in the first place, in the metal world. He started Quiet Riot with Kevin Dubrow and seemed to genuinely love the genre
Kinda reminds me of Allan Holdsworth (RIP), who had this really unique beautiful guitar voice/sound/tone but had a draconian self critique, and often mentioned he wished he could play another instrument like the trumpet or saxophone as he tried to sound like that in his playing.
i think the fact that Rhoads' classical instrumental piece, "Dee", is placed right next to "Suicide solution" on the album Blizzard of Ozz, is arguably a perfect summary of rhoads style and range. you come off this beautiful piece that you would expect from a baroque composer and dismount right into that driving distorted riff opening suicide solution.
like "Yes, i can fill philharmonic concert halls. i can also BURN THEM DOWN WITH A GLANCE."
man knew guitars like a samurai knew his sword. born to a classical music teacher and an electrician, it's like the gods themselves decreed his advent as the guitar messiah.
Most people have no idea of Randy’s love for perfecting his craft, he would always look up guitar instructors when the band went to a new city and take lessons from them… always focused on his amazing skill 🎸🔥
Half the time he ended up giving the teacher a lesson. what a nice guy and a natural teacher.
@@michaelfinnegan3805 Ozzy said it was actually more like 90% of the time Randy knew more than the classical teachers.
Randy's mother taught guitar.
@@thetribalist6923 The proof is right here in this video. He was on a different level than everyone else.
@@gl3605 he really was. I might even put him above Eddie over all. Ed was more innovative, which is really saying something considering how innovative Randy was, but Randy had the better solos, compositions, and just as good riffs.
Love the look on your face, Elizabeth , when Randy runs. Pretty much the same for all of us…
I picked up guitar when I was 12 and I remember my step dad taking me to a record store because he wanted me to hear a real guitar player. Bought me the Ozzy-Randy Rhoads Tribute album and it blew my mind immediately. Never gets old to hear
RIP Randy. Even after all these years. Still bringing joy to generations.
Randy was a god. That being said, Zakk Wylde is no slouch with the axe either
one of the biggest "what ifs" in guitar history
One of my biggest “what ifs” in music: What if Randy and Cliff had both lived longer and ended up in a band together?
@@0okamino not to forget John Bonham who died just over a year before Randy.
The facial expression you made after hearing Rhoads' solo...that is the EXACT same expression that everyone makes when they hear it for the first time. Welcome to the club :)
I make that same face after the million time of hearing that solo..God bless you Randy...your music will always live on.
Agreed, it’s everyone’s reaction
Randy is the greatest guitarist who ever lived.
I tend to agree, I really love Van Halen, but I've always felt that if Randy had lived, he would have surpassed Eddie as the greatest ever.
I LOVE YOUR REACTION TO RANDY.....🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ozzy Osbourne is just in awe as he stares at Randy...looks back at Tommy....and then back at Randy as the solo culminates....Ozzy scratches his head blown away while Randy shreds....is just CLASSIC !!
I bought a VCR tape if this performance yearrrs ago and noticed the same thing. It was moment when Ozzy realized, wow this is really happening. NOW, if only him and Sharon had hired a different bus driver besides loser Andrew Aycock. History would have been ultimately different
Randy was such a great musician, he arguably brought Ozzy back from the brink... They were a truly amazing force when brought together.
There's no doubt that Randy Rhodes brought Ozzy back.... He's said it himself I think in interviews. They were the perfect 'team'/combination. "Amazing" seems to be the only word we have - yet still inadequate.
Completely agree.
When you said, "That was an amazing solo". I was like wait until she hears the outro! Great reaction!
There is, and will ever be only one Ozzy. So unique.
The thing is, you mentioned that Ozzy has got excellent diction. To fully understand how musically talented he is, I would advise listening to some interviews with him. Under normal circumstances it's sometimes even impossible to understand what Ozzy is saying, but once he goes on the stage it's a completely different world. He manages his voice like almost no other singer out there.
Probably has to do with the brain processing speaking and singing differently. This is why many people with severe stuttering issues or stroke-induced speech impediments are able to sing perfectly normally.
And he’s never had a lesson in his life. Completely natural and self taught!
@@gilean23 I just attributed that difference, with regard to stuttering at least, to knowing the words in advance. They don’t have to think about what to say/sing. I imagine giving a prepared speech or reading poetry would have the same result. Complete amateur interpretation here. Thanks
Ozzie can speak clearly, but I've only heard him do it when he was taking the piss. There's only one Ozzie.
Good point, my friend. And the same with Randy, a shiny introspective boy who with his guitar conquered the entire world. Talented people doing beautiful and immortal things.
I also love how Ozzy scratches his head at the end. Almost as if he's thinking "how the hell did I manage to find such a good guitarist?"
Indeed. He was introduced to Randy by Dana Strum and he was drunk af, he hired him in the spot without even listening to him play
That's not true. ^^^^
He hired him during warm up.
He always has awesome players.
its like he is thinking is this really my band sheesh , Whats crazy is that drummer is currently on tour with Whitesnake and still killing it i think he must be 70 by now
That's a gift you have that you can hear that keyboard part
Yes dear,, this is exactly why Randy Rhodes is considered a rock GOD to all guitar players. His preferred style of music was classical but used his classical talent to create the most amazing melodies in rock music. I really like to watch your videos,, the way you evaluate a singers voice and style intrigues me to try to sing myself,, thanks
I am 52 yrs young and was 13 the first time I heard this song and I am not ashamed to say Both solos bring tears to my eyes then and now!
Me too
Me three. I heard Randy 23 years ago in HS. Shortly after I bought a RR3 and started writing my own music. Randy opened a while wonderful world of music to me. This song stills gives me chills and tears when I hear and “feel” the music. Hasn’t changed the emotional charge from day one hearing it and from now.
Me four. 🤘❤️
46yrs old and similar age when first heard it.... Its still just as powerful after all this time
I started listening to Ozzy when I was 11. I started playing guitar when I was 14,... (1984), all because of a kid I met at a group home I lived in in 1981,... Who LOVED Randy Rhoads,... Now at 52, I STILL play and STILL well up with tears from Randy's solos. Even watching THIS video and your AWESOME reactions,... I recently started getting back to my roots, (playing Ozzy/Randy Rhoads) and I notice that NO ONE, NOT ONE GUITARIST I've heard on RUclips, seems to be able to mimic Randy's playing. (Yes, I'm well aware that he triple tracked his Solos with one left, one right and the main center. It's nearly impossible to play exactly like the recordings,... But dammit, I won't stop playing these songs until I have them down perfectly, or until my fingers fall off!
Highly recommend Diary of a Madman if you're doing more Ozzy. PS thanks for your insightful reactions.
I would concur, probably fav song by Ozzy.
When 2 of the top 3 guitar solos of all time are performed by the same guy in the same song, he never dies.
