It's often mentionned that he wanted to break apart from Ozzy for a lot of reasons, and wanted to get back to classical guitar. Maybe he would turn like Vito Bratta in some sort of way, who knows ?
I read somewhere, years ago, that Randy would go to guitar teachers in every city they visited. He wanted to see if he could learn something he didn't know. Usually, he'd end up teaching these teachers something they didn't know. He truly was a virtuoso.
I've heard that rock guitarists would ask Roy Clark for lessons, even those already established would ask. Roy Clark isn't my cup of tea but that guy was a tremendous guitarist.

As good as Ozzy was. I’m realizing he was nothing without this man post Black Sabbath. This man Randy was one of the most incredible guitar players anywhere
You can tell by the way, the ozzy talks about him like he was a brother like he was his best mate. Think it’s a bit like the situation with Sid Vicious and John Leyden. Ozzy grieves for him, even for this day. So I think on that day, Ozzy lost more than the most gifted guitar player ever to walk the Earth. He lost his best mate.
@@richie6921 If you played guitar, you would then know EVH was superior to Randy in many ways. 2ndly, Ozzy mourned for Randy because Randy really made Ozzy. Ozzy would have NEVER been as great as he was, nor would he have received the attention that he did had it not been for Randy! No doubt, Randy was one of the finest guitarists ever. All of Ozzy's other guitarist were really great, like Zach, but none of them were AWESOME like Randy!
Well I heard many stories about Randy Rhoads wow he still did cocaine but a fingernail at a time while everyone else was doing a whole shit load but that could be all Bullshit?
@@catmarilyn5178 Rhoades never did cocaine. That's the way he liked his thumbnails Jimmy Page used to do the same thing sometimes. Rhoades did nothing but smoked a little weed from time to time, and drank a little warmed Brandy before Concerts. Unlike Most folks, I saw the Diary Tour Live in Birmingham Alabama in Late Feb of 82. It was fantastic, and I'd seen EVERYONE worth seeing from 78 thru about 95..
@@jeffdarnell7942 ok then I wonder why ppl would start such rumors about Randy Rhoads. Cuz it was something I read in a biography about Randy unfortunately if it's not true how dare they publish it!!!!!!
Yes. Anything anyone could ever want from a rock and roll lead guitarist was Randy Rhoads, but like 10x more. Not that he wouldn't have become an even better lead rock guitarist but he was actually just opening up to classical guitar in the devoted puritan sense when he died. What music might this man have created. I just know that it would have been beautiful because Randy lived long enough to make that much perfectly clear.
Of all the great musicians tearing it up in my youth, it was Randy Rhoads that made me pick up a guitar. His feel, phrasing, and technique made him my favorite guitarist. Like everyone else, I was gutted when I learned of his death. It shouldn't be possible, but Randy's music still moves me, even after all this time. RIP Mr. Rhoads.
The feeling never goes away. There's never a day I wake up and go, "Okay, this is old and I don't feel like hearing it anymore." NEVER HAPPENS. Because you never tire of perfection. The guy was as close to flawless as one could get technically, tone wise, and damn near just about every aspect else. Totally refined and chiseled masterful sound on a level to me, that was never matched. The guy was obsessed with every minute note and it showed.
I agree bro. But, its seem difficult for me to nominate the best 1. Randy - Mr.Crowley 2. Slash - November Rain 3. David - Comfortably Numb 4. Jimmy - Stairway to heaven
+OVERWORLD I know it's sad that so many people forgot about him, so I pretty much make it my duty to educate my friends that this is one of if not the best guitarist who ever lived
I was friends with Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot one night Randy came by Kevin's house and he started playing with one of Kevin's guitars acoustic 12 string he played can't find my way home oh my God that guy played so beautifully I couldn't believe I am sitting here next to One of the greatest musicians ever
well, if you listen to classical music you can hear it's a medeley of classical pieces to fit the sequence of Mr Crowley - but that's just how classical music has always worked - Mr Crowley is just following the tradition of hundreds of years of classical music with new instruments.

Thankful for my late father for introducing me to music. Randy passed away 9 years before I was born and I've just become such a fan of his. By far my favorite guitarist of all time.
He was not afraid to bring his classical training to the forefront of his music. That, in my opinion, is what brought him to the forefront of the industry so quickly. The ripping soloists of his time, were using alot of the same techniques, but they watered them down with the heavy ripping blues licks.....Randy just show cased it.....very well obviously.
For his young age and mastery of classical guitar he was truly a gift from God. His command of the guitar and presence live. He has so much soul in his music, there will never be another like him. Randy may not be the greatest guitarist ever but there is no one better than him either.
The Entire Tribute album is a Randy Rhoads solo. Even the licks and frills he puts in the typical rhythm bars are spiced up to 11. The album is so fucking good that I actually cannot listen to the studio tracks the same way. All of the songs played on that set are nearly twice as good as the studio album versions, except for maybe Flying High and a few others. Revelation Mother Earth, Mr. Crowley, Paranoid, all of these are just examples of just how powerful Randy makes those songs when not restricted by the Studio element. It's a fucking brutal album and to this day, I consider it one of the ABSOLUTE BEST live albums I've ever heard, ever. I only wish the Mixing was a bit better - I cannot imagine how awesome the sound quality would be if Tribute were recorded today and mixed by the likes of Steven Wilson. HOLY FUCK. One of the things that has stuck with me as a musician is that I had read that Randy strived to make every bar, every repeated sequence in the song to sound slightly different in the last. He felt that each piece needed to keep exploring itself through out the track and never get stale or stagnate. This is why in songs like Over the Mountain, the variety between the verses gets spicier and spicier. Eventually on the ending verse, Randy has completely morphed the rhythmic bars on the verse to something else but yet still similar. He did this by being an absolute master of licks and frills. It was not just musical improvisation, it was purposeful amplification of tonal variety that he wanted. He never wanted each piece to become repetitive at the end. This is where his master class training in classical music and classical guitar came through - the dude was exceptionally good at composition and music theory, understanding when and where he could purposely change keys to keep section fresh with perfectly sequenced scales, sweeps, and even changing the picking rhythm for the riff itself. The end result was some crazy good live performances where the band was playing what they really wanted to play - a far more epic sounding, progressive metal style that to this day, has never been replicated. Randy Rhoads is my hero and will always be. It's so sad that he had such a short life, but he inspired all of us with his humility. He went to any new teacher he could find during tours to see if there was something else he could learn and he also had his own class to teach youngsters how to explore and play. A true humble artisan of music. He was a true brother of metal and music. Rest in Peace, Randy.
and the funny thing is Tribute is probably his worst show, you listen to the countless of bootleg recordings my man was on point every night changing up songs, the studio songs are great, but they pale in comparison to the live versions, some of the solos he put on the songs. Even in that legendary guitar seminar he talks about not being able to remember how the original Crazy Train went because he has changed it so much
a lot of people don't know who Randy really was. He was ready to get out of rock and roll the lifestyle the drinking and all of the trappings Just to pursue music because he was such a pure soul and love music that much.
What you said about randy wanting to opt out & persue the purity of music to its very molecules & harmonics well maybe there was a reason he left us when he did so he could not only study & perfect his music but become music, be inside it. I'm a firm believer in sound & harmonics, Sonics which we will find out in th future can do stuff that at the moment is unknowable. Th human singing voice is also something not wholly just human either. Shan't say divine or angelic coz it isnt but i think people like randy & others from past ( Mozart, Mahler, etc) were taken from earth to take research & study, experiment & discover music that would probably blow our brains apart at the present moment. They then could send out onto whatever the etheric plane is but their ideas/discoveries r planted there waiting to be plucked retrieved back down to musicians on Earth. ( actually like online CLOUD storage) either that or they ARE reborn at a time in our future when we are capable of translating this info into something mind boggling. Sorry if this is abit mumbo jumbo but a few scientist friends have told me some incredible things that involve music & sound & ultrasonics & i think it's genuine genius & love needed from only true musicians like randy who could go further than he ever could on Earth realm. There are many serious books on the subject if you look them out Hope my ramble on wasnt too daunting
Randy got tired of the rock scene, and had already told Ozzy he would be leaving to pursue a classical guitar masters in Europe. This was a little hobby for him, not even his real passion. Let that sink in for a second. Ps. He was innovating the techniques that Zakk Wylde uses now. The pinch harmonics and muted shred runs. However, his classical influence is undeniable in everything he plays 👌👌 Godspeed Randy
He was gone before I was born but I miss him. I can’t describe it, it’s like losing a friend you never met, my heart still aches when I think of him, it’s the strangest thing. I wish we had all had more years of his greatness but I’m grateful for the time he was here - a true legend, even almost 40 years on. Godspeed RR.
I absolutely agree. Randy had a smoothness to his style that Far surpasses any guitar player I have ever heard in my 50 years of listening to and playing music. I don't believe there was a note, scale or chord he didn't know. A true master of the guitar.
He was more than the guitarist. He wrote the music. He's the reason that Blizzard of Ozz and Diary are masterpieces. Ozzy has done nothing special since.
Everytime i listen to his Crazy Train solo i almost cry. What an incredible and young artist,i don't find something else the art to describe his work. When skill and artistic compositions come together they create a legend.
Man oh man that sound! Senseless tragedy took it all away. Thankful for what he gave to us. What he gave to the world. On a side note, that polka dot V was was made to Randy's specs by Karl Sandoval who's custom shop is just minutes from where I live! Cool guy, hot guitars!
From the piano solo on to the end of that song is pure genius. The slow build up, that monstrous riff, then Randy's solo leading up to the outro. Gives me chills every time and I've heard that song a million times already.
ericvocals neither close to Randy he was way better musician and guitarist than vh. If you dont believe me listen to randy's songs and solos, the evidence is there within your reach.😝
Like I never heard Randy Rhoads before.Way to go Ace Ventura! I heard Eruption and it changed my life. I heard crazy train and a bunch of other solo's from Randy and thought, That's pretty good.Not quite on the level of Van Halen but nice try... Yawn... Mr. Scary from Dokken (George Lynch) is another guitar master that's just as good ,if not better... Even anything from Pantera(Dimebag) also crushes it. Randy was good but come on...Zakk Wylde? also on that level... Even Slash.
ericvocals by saying Randy is equal to zakk or george you show you dont even know very much about guitar. Dimebag is great i really like him and he was pretty influenced by Randy too. I dont think you could even play a guitar, enjoy eruption and all that clueless tapping that your ears just find enjoyable withouth really knowing how a true musician composes. i respect your opinion but Randy was a musician and van Halen was just a guitarist. Maybe to you van Halen is the best i respect that but for someone who have some clue of music randy is way way better.
I’ve watched this vid probably about 20 times and it never gets old, I’ll probably listen to it 100 more times before I die if not more. Greatest guitarist to ever live by far.
@@caressofstars4239 I do to. I was driving down the street the other day listening to tribute and after Mr crowley realized I had tears in my eyes. Listening to him is like a time machine back to my teens
RiFF RAP3R people ask a guitar King in every era and make a Monster of guitar. It's only a dream, every guitar Player has his goodness . Stop to race o debacle, it's so stupid.
So much emotion in his playing, it's almost unparalleled ... I was 17 when he passed and even now, when listening to his work I wonder what he would have become had he lived...
We were in the fourth row of the Lansing Civic Center in Lansing, Mi. I cannot remember the year but there was a massive snowstorm going on outside and they only played about 10 songs. I think they cut it short for safety reasons. I remember watching his hands from about 20 feet away and just being mesmerized. He left us waaayy too soon!
Listening to this, I just got shivers up and down my spine, cried in his memory, and then got depressed when i realized that he's not around, nor will there be anyone like him around ever again..
That's what makes him so unique and impossible to compare with other greats. His sound, style, & influence is one of a kind. I just wish we got to hear more music from him.
4:21 that "jam" it's like his version of eruption, sounds very similar.. btw, love how his solos are like a mix of classical and rock, but on his own style !
He was only 25 when he died, imagine this genius still alive!!
Imagine what riffs and solos he would have created if he were still around

true
Can sum it up in one word, WOW
RANDY MOZART YNGWIE PAGANINNI AND BACH GILBERT... THE BEST 3 COMPOSERS REBORN!! RANDY HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL CHOICE OF NOTES AND TONE...
Best guitarist Ozzy ever had!!
Tyler Gann best the world had
@Iron Mocker Randy was better than everyone in your list.
@Iron Mocker True it's arguable but it's indisputable that everyone in your list including Randy truly took the world with their style
Zakk is also great!
For his young age and mastery of classical guitar he was truly a gift from God. His command of the guitar and presence live. He has so much soul in his music, there will never be another like him. Randy may not be the greatest guitarist ever but there is no one better than him either.
The Entire Tribute album is a Randy Rhoads solo. Even the licks and frills he puts in the typical rhythm bars are spiced up to 11. The album is so fucking good that I actually cannot listen to the studio tracks the same way. All of the songs played on that set are nearly twice as good as the studio album versions, except for maybe Flying High and a few others. Revelation Mother Earth, Mr. Crowley, Paranoid, all of these are just examples of just how powerful Randy makes those songs when not restricted by the Studio element. It's a fucking brutal album and to this day, I consider it one of the ABSOLUTE BEST live albums I've ever heard, ever. I only wish the Mixing was a bit better - I cannot imagine how awesome the sound quality would be if Tribute were recorded today and mixed by the likes of Steven Wilson. HOLY FUCK.
One of the things that has stuck with me as a musician is that I had read that Randy strived to make every bar, every repeated sequence in the song to sound slightly different in the last. He felt that each piece needed to keep exploring itself through out the track and never get stale or stagnate.
This is why in songs like Over the Mountain, the variety between the verses gets spicier and spicier. Eventually on the ending verse, Randy has completely morphed the rhythmic bars on the verse to something else but yet still similar.
He did this by being an absolute master of licks and frills. It was not just musical improvisation, it was purposeful amplification of tonal variety that he wanted. He never wanted each piece to become repetitive at the end. This is where his master class training in classical music and classical guitar came through - the dude was exceptionally good at composition and music theory, understanding when and where he could purposely change keys to keep section fresh with perfectly sequenced scales, sweeps, and even changing the picking rhythm for the riff itself.
The end result was some crazy good live performances where the band was playing what they really wanted to play - a far more epic sounding, progressive metal style that to this day, has never been replicated. Randy Rhoads is my hero and will always be. It's so sad that he had such a short life, but he inspired all of us with his humility. He went to any new teacher he could find during tours to see if there was something else he could learn and he also had his own class to teach youngsters how to explore and play. A true humble artisan of music.
He was a true brother of metal and music.
Rest in Peace, Randy.
and the funny thing is Tribute is probably his worst show, you listen to the countless of bootleg recordings my man was on point every night changing up songs, the studio songs are great, but they pale in comparison to the live versions, some of the solos he put on the songs. Even in that legendary guitar seminar he talks about not being able to remember how the original Crazy Train went because he has changed it so much
393 Dislikes,they are all jealous of Randy and they will never ever be as great of a guitar player as Randy was.
I can’t even play the guitar but I’m still jealous
They are all deaf !
Nobody will.
You are correct , JEALOUSY!!!
Even if you like another guitarist more , how could anyone “dislike”Randy?
a lot of people don't know who Randy really was. He was ready to get out of rock and roll the lifestyle the drinking and all of the trappings Just to pursue music because he was such a pure soul and love music that much.
Robert Lynn he was hurt emotionally when Ozzy blacked out an attacked the band. Ozzy loved him a lot but so addicted at the time.
What you said about randy wanting to opt out & persue the purity of music to its very molecules & harmonics well maybe there was a reason he left us when he did so he could not only study & perfect his music but become music, be inside it. I'm a firm believer in sound & harmonics, Sonics which we will find out in th future can do stuff that at the moment is unknowable. Th human singing voice is also something not wholly just human either. Shan't say divine or angelic coz it isnt but i think people like randy & others from past ( Mozart, Mahler, etc) were taken from earth to take research & study, experiment & discover music that would probably blow our brains apart at the present moment. They then could send out onto whatever the etheric plane is but their ideas/discoveries r planted there waiting to be plucked retrieved back down to musicians on Earth. ( actually like online CLOUD storage) either that or they ARE reborn at a time in our future when we are capable of translating this info into something mind boggling. Sorry if this is abit mumbo jumbo but a few scientist friends have told me some incredible things that involve music & sound & ultrasonics & i think it's genuine genius & love needed from only true musicians like randy who could go further than he ever could on Earth realm. There are many serious books on the subject if you look them out
Hope my ramble on wasnt too daunting
Randy got tired of the rock scene, and had already told Ozzy he would be leaving to pursue a classical guitar masters in Europe.
This was a little hobby for him, not even his real passion. Let that sink in for a second.
Ps. He was innovating the techniques that Zakk Wylde uses now. The pinch harmonics and muted shred runs.
However, his classical influence is undeniable in everything he plays 👌👌
Godspeed Randy
He was gone before I was born but I miss him. I can’t describe it, it’s like losing a friend you never met, my heart still aches when I think of him, it’s the strangest thing. I wish we had all had more years of his greatness but I’m grateful for the time he was here - a true legend, even almost 40 years on. Godspeed RR.
miss him alot
Players who are considered “guitar gods” look up to him.
Bc hes the guitar god master of all guitarests
He never had the style like Jimi Hendrix, but he would absolutely murder him in a guitar duel.
melodic perfection
Indeed brow
The guitar sounds like a piano, so smooth and clean
Listening to Randy's solos in one go is a symphony turned up to 11. Miss you, Randy.
Imagine hearing a randy solo baked out of your mind live on a full stadium system. Mind blowing and a divine experience
imagine if he lived, May 1983 he would probably play been one of the best displays of guitarmanship on one stage with him and Eddie at the US Festival
Yes. It was. 😊
2019 and I still say randy was ozzys best guitarist
I absolutely agree. Randy had a smoothness to his style that Far surpasses any guitar player I have ever heard in my 50 years of listening to and playing music. I don't believe there was a note, scale or chord he didn't know. A true master of the guitar.
Duh.
He was more than the guitarist. He wrote the music. He's the reason that Blizzard of Ozz and Diary are masterpieces. Ozzy has done nothing special since.
Everytime i listen to his Crazy Train solo i almost cry.
What an incredible and young artist,i don't find something else the art to describe his work.
When skill and artistic compositions come together they create a legend.
Well said!
Damn. 😢 can you just imagine if he was still alive. We miss you Randy. Rest easy man.
one of the best ever guitarist...his flow and solos can not be outdated
Randy's playing is beyond words. The greatest guitar player of our time, in my opinion.
#RIPRandy
I second that opinion 👍
Mine too
Shiiit steve vie also
If you havnt watch steve v. Talk about him!!!
He was a legend. Perfect solo, perfect sound.
His solos are legendary
Man oh man that sound! Senseless tragedy took it all away. Thankful for what he gave to us. What he gave to the world. On a side note, that polka dot V was was made to Randy's specs by Karl Sandoval who's custom shop is just minutes from where I live! Cool guy, hot guitars!
The riff from Revelation (Mother Earth) is one of the sickest guitar riffs ever written
From the piano solo on to the end of that song is pure genius. The slow build up, that monstrous riff, then Randy's solo leading up to the outro. Gives me chills every time and I've heard that song a million times already.
Absolutely agree with you. I was just gonna post something about that. But saw your post... Good day.
Hell yeah ı feel real tense dignity exploding.... in that moment
he was and will ever be the best guitarist ever
i love you randy
nah. Eddie Van Halen. way better...
ericvocals Nope RR rules!
ericvocals neither close to Randy he was way better musician and guitarist than vh.
If you dont believe me listen to randy's songs and solos, the evidence is there within your reach.😝
Like I never heard Randy Rhoads before.Way to go Ace Ventura! I heard Eruption and it changed my life. I heard crazy train and a bunch of other solo's from Randy and thought, That's pretty good.Not quite on the level of Van Halen but nice try... Yawn... Mr. Scary from Dokken (George Lynch) is another guitar master that's just as good ,if not better... Even anything from Pantera(Dimebag) also crushes it. Randy was good but come on...Zakk Wylde? also on that level... Even Slash.
ericvocals by saying Randy is equal to zakk or george you show you dont even know very much about guitar. Dimebag is great i really like him and he was pretty influenced by Randy too.
I dont think you could even play a guitar, enjoy eruption and all that clueless tapping that your ears just find enjoyable withouth really knowing how a true musician composes. i respect your opinion but Randy was a musician and van Halen was just a guitarist. Maybe to you van Halen is the best i respect that but for someone who have some clue of music randy is way way better.
Damn. That guy was off the hook. Classically trained and turned into an incredible rock aficionado. Chills. So good
unrivaled, creative guitarist and his solos were perfect and above all he was a simple person.
I’ve watched this vid probably about 20 times and it never gets old, I’ll probably listen to it 100 more times before I die if not more. Greatest guitarist to ever live by far.
Agree!
I even had my kids watch it and gave them a history lesson about him. His legacy will not die on my watch!
I´ve done a tribute for him. thank you for watching it: th-cam.com/video/TAJ8N0v2OMc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FernandoE.Nitto
Make sure to download it
dude was an angel. earth don't keep angels.
Fly high, Randy.
Randy is a legend
Such a great talent!!!!
It’s hard to believe that he’s been gone for 40 years now
and his legend still grows which is a testatment to his impact
Ozzy must be proud and lucky to have randy in the start
Randy Rhoads is one of my all time favorite guitarist. He has unbelievable skill and style. I just love him.
You are not alone! He is incredible. (Yes I talk about him in present, just like you do. Fanclub yeah.)
@@caressofstars4239 I didn't even realize I was doing that. :()
@@caressofstars4239 I do to. I was driving down the street the other day listening to tribute and after Mr crowley realized I had tears in my eyes. Listening to him is like a time machine back to my teens
The greatest of all time ❤miss u randy
Saint Randy of Metal. His fans miss him now as much as ever.
my mind is blown whenever i hear his music its awesome
6 minutes and 53 seconds of some of the best guitar tracks ever to be laid upon our ears...
THANK YOU, RANDY!
(I wanted to say it to you in person...)
One of the greatest guitar players that ever lived.
A true legend gone way to soon, can only imagine what he would put out on guitar
32 people have no clue what they have done. theyve disliked the undislikeable.
*33
+Flyers28 47
Soon, very soon, they will die.
In case you hadn't noticed the world has millions of wankers. 138 of them found this video!
RiFF RAP3R people ask a guitar King in every era and make a Monster of guitar.
It's only a dream, every guitar Player has his goodness .
Stop to race o debacle, it's so stupid.
Literally my favorite guitar artist of all time.
So much emotion in his playing, it's almost unparalleled ... I was 17 when he passed and even now, when listening to his work I wonder what he would have become had he lived...
Randy performing Mr Crowley is one of the best things that I ever hear in my life!!!
Randy style and how he played and wrote solos is such genius it's incredible
I´ve done a tribute for him. thank you for watching it: th-cam.com/video/TAJ8N0v2OMc/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=FernandoE.Nitto
i was privileged to see randy during both the blizzard of ozz and diary of a madman tours.
awesome dude,🤘👍
You lucky basterd
Impossible… you still have a face!
We were in the fourth row of the Lansing Civic Center in Lansing, Mi. I cannot remember the year but there was a massive snowstorm going on outside and they only played about 10 songs. I think they cut it short for safety reasons. I remember watching his hands from about 20 feet away and just being mesmerized. He left us waaayy too soon!
So speechless. I can't even explain how good this guy is.
Listening to this, I just got shivers up and down my spine, cried in his memory, and then got depressed when i realized that he's not around, nor will there be anyone like him around ever again..
You can hear remnants of his classical training throughout, enmeshed into the contemporary style.
That's what makes him so unique and impossible to compare with other greats. His sound, style, & influence is one of a kind. I just wish we got to hear more music from him.
My kid 😍
Randy rhoads
Honestly, beautiful is the only word to describe his playing.
Definitely one of the greatest guitarists to grace Earth
I can't even imagine how good he would have been been today...
Jason Becker - Altitudes
He was only 16 at the time he wrote this.
Of course could have never played it off without the influence of Marty Friedman.
RIP RANDY RHOADS YOU WILL STILL BE ONE OF THE BEST GUITARISTS IN THE WORLD
Randy Rhodes...now Alexi Laiho! Both are playing in heaven.
Why do I insist on living more in this world?
Why I keep coming back to this low fi vídeo? Thanks to this awesone music!
I can't help to think about how many masterful pieces we missed out on due to losing him so young.
Happy 60th B-day Randy Rhodes
Randy *Rhoads* Has Entered The Chat
Many guitarists have been born so far,
I don’t know a better guitar hero than Randy Roads.
And that will never change.
Forever Randy,
The soundtrack of my youth. Man I miss this guy.
NOW Randy rhoads is up in heaven shredding with dimebag
Best guitarist ever. Period. Only 25 years old had he lived to date his music would be incredible
Randy the Rock Legend is missed. What a talent! He truly left his mark on Rock n Roll!!!!
One of a kind. Randy played like an angel and sounded like the devil. unique style
Will miss really a great guitarist when we lost Randy.I hope to see you again in Heaven?God Bless you.
Randy to me was and still is the most influential player in my life. He did so much in so little time. Remarkable player
4:21 that "jam" it's like his version of eruption, sounds very similar.. btw, love how his solos are like a mix of classical and rock, but on his own style !
Totally blown away!! A true genius...gone way to soon!!🎸🎸🎸
Just imagine all the amazing sounds he would have gave this world if he was still alive?
Man we’re we cheated!
RIP Randy , we sure miss you !!!
