I guess the dislikes are people who can't play like Randy don't be pissed neither can 7 billion others play like Randy miss him I saw him n Ozzy I thought Ozzy went to another planet and brought back an alien Randy seemed like he came from another planet
@@kaitlinblankenship5988 I could be wrong, but I believe that Ken was referring to the previous post, from HWG 10IAR .. Whatever the case, you're right Kaitlin,the world would be a better place with Randy Rhoads
I knew Randy back in the mid 70's we played the Starwood In West Hollywood! He was always friendly and he loved to play guitar and perform! Like Hendrix the world lost agreat talent!
and finished with Dee...*-* usually,when I see great guitarrists, it makes me think:"Damn,I wish I played like him"... but, when I see Randy , it makes me think , "Damn....I wish he was alive!!"
How old was he in his video? I think he was 20.How talented he is!I can hear some classical melodies in his solo.He is my idol.His guitar skills were outstanding, he was a magician.RIP Randy Rhoads...
I heard him do a similar solo when playing with ozzy at the swing auditorium in San Bernardino, Ca in 1981. Not too far away from his burial place. R.I.P. Motorhead opened for that concert.
when i watch eddie van halen and steve vai playin´ im allways pwnd after that, but when i look at this i know absolutly know whos my favorite guitar player. Randy Is GOD
OM friggin GOD....been waiting on this for tooooo long.....any guitar stud wanna step up.....by all means....I'm 55 ,and haven't heard ANYTHING that comes close!
Greatest guitarist ever! I did a 2 part doc on the History of heaby metal and some poser tried saying that Randy tapped out his triplets like Eddie Van Halen. Randy was a class A Guitarist from birth, Eddie Van Halen played piano then jumped to guitar later on. Randy was asked if he was influenced by Eddie once at a guitar tech. Randy laughed, said n, then said that they bothed played in the same area, a polite way of saying Eddie was influenced by him. God bless his beautiful soul
I disagree with that claim strongly! Eddie had classical roots as did randy, but started on guitar. They both had their own styles. Randy was more classicaly influenced and technically knowlegable. Were Eddie was self taught and came up with his own style of playing invention a style everybody today now uses. Tho it wasnt just a flashy trick tapping rhe fret board. Was just how he played. Both amazing musicians. R.i.p both
@@traviswhite771 Don't get me wrong, I love Eddie, but, he was a 1 trick pony, came out of the starting gates strong, ground breaking sound and style, but was the same wthroughout his career, Randy perpetually got better, Rudy even said, listen to the latest live as possible caause he was always getting better and taking lessons on tour, Eddie drank and snorted and never tried to get better, and why should he, everyone was already prasing him, but he is a rock star and randy a true musician
Randy Rhoads is my all-time favorite guitarist. He showed everybody how they SHOULD be playing guitar, and how to fuse all kinds of music into one sound seemlessly without sounding out of place. He fused his classical training into his guitar not just to play ridiculously fast notes i.e. Malmsteen, but to allow himself more when freestyling and improvisations. When he died, he was about to quit Ozzy and teach at Julliard. Many students lost out on a great teacher when he died way too soon!
In every band there is always one member who stands out and provids some extra entertainment ,with Metallica it was Cliff Burton and with Quiet Riot it was Randy Rhoads both left us too soon.
The 60s had Hendrix. The 70s had Eddie Van Halen/ honarable mention Tony Iommi. The 80s had Randy Rhoads. The 90s had Dimebag Darrell. Those are the guitar gods in my book.
Honorable mentions to Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Eric Johnson. Hard to leave out Eric Johnson for the iconic "Cliffs of Dover": th-cam.com/video/ZUECcou-34A/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely right. In the 80s, for the long years after Randy died all us fans BEGGED for video of him. Anything, even a scrap of something. Then the After Hours recordings were released at some point and they went around. Years later TH-cam was born but it still took a while before any decent Randy footage emerged. But here it is. At long last. If only footage from Randy's classic days with Ozzy were to finally appear. I mean that's what we all want to really see- that live footage. We know it's out there.
Being one of my biggest influences on guitar from the early 80's, I still get teary eyed and get a knot in my stomach when thinking about him. Truly missed
Randy was lightyears ahead of his time, but still was always humble! His skill set was endless and he was just getting started! He was and is a 'Guitar God'! I have never heard anything that even comes close to his sound! Rest In Paradise, Randy! Keep on shreddin up there!!
I'll be saving tears in jars from my guitar it's soaking wet from the pouring rain Randy you are with us in spirit I have no words to put on how truly blessed you've changed the world glorifying music and God given talent
+Kissteria595 Created 2 albums in short notice, was about to make a third, got killed in a plane crash. Really no competition between Eddie and Randy. Randy died, so it's not fair, as we do not know how he would've evolved.
You people are so uneducated about guitarists, uli jon roth, michael schenker and steve morse were playing like this long before eddie or randy were in their bands
To me the most impressive thing about Randy (who is my favorite player ever and IMO THE best player ever) was that he was that talented, played some of the most amazing metal riffs in history, never to be forgotten, and didn’t even really want to-he was a classical musician by training AND desire. That’s what he TEALLY wanted to do. So this guy wrote some of metal’s most iconic riffs and solos ever and wasn’t even REALLY giving his whole heart to it, at least it’s not the music that made him happiest to play. Imagine what he would’ve done had he lived and really wanted to play metal, there would be absolutely no doubt he was the best ever
Randy gave and Randy was taken away :'( I wasnt born when he was soloing himself into fame such a young age of raw talent I can't imagine if the plane crash never happened and if he was still here today I started listening to him and Ozzy at a young age in the 90s my older brother gave me Randy's tribute album the sound of his guitar just stuck with me throughout my life remains my favorite guitarist
randy rhoads is the best guitarist of all time if you ask me for how short of a time he was with us and he influenced us just as much as people still here today if he was still alive he would have been the best guitarist to ever shred by far
I was extremely fortunate to not only have met and talked to Randy and Kevin at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, but also at the front of the stage at The Starwood, when Kevin and then later Randy both came over, bend down and talked to me and the other person who was at The Rainbow Bar and Grill a few days earlier. Amazing to have been there that particular night. 4:35
Apparently Eddie Van Halen was kind of a dick to Randy. I read somewhere that Randy met Eddie back stage one time and asked how his guitar stayed in tune without locks on his guitar. Eddie refused to tell him because it was his secret. But despite all the things he and his band mates said about Randy, Randy actually saw Eddie at his local music store waiting in line to buy a copy of Diary of a Madman. And, apparently Eddie went to go see Randy more than Randy went to go see Eddie.
The more you watch/enjoy/appreciate Randy ... the more blessed you feel ... which leads to great joy and inspiration - realizing all this ... the sadder you become in the end! 😢
Lol. Which doesn't explain why Randy was stealing Eddie's riffs for his own stage show. Who's the real guitar god then? It's cool that Randy was paying tribute to Eddie's unearthly playing, but let's not forget who Randy was lifting those Eruption riffs from. Randy is like Satriani, Stevie Vai, and Malmsteen, in that he is able to play sweet, powerful, and masterfully. But what set Eddie apart was that he not only could play like those folks, but he could also lay down iconic, brutal, stadium rock riffs that others to this day are still covering. In that respect, Eddie Van Halen was in the same league as Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, and Jimi Hendrix in terms of his overall contribution with his uniquely new way of playing and his ability to compose riffs that entire songs were build around. He wasn't just a speed solo hack. EVH was at the very top of the history of Gods of guitar music. Rhodes was a fantastic player to be sure. But let's not confuse both their levels of ability and contribution.
That’s a relatively small guitar. My seven year old niece can wear one. Shows you just how small Randy was.. tiny little dude but every part of himself he could express sound with was larger than life. Rip dude!
He hasn't changed it because who TF cares about Quit Riot? Yeah, they had a couple of hits after he left and were big for about fifteen minutes in the early 80s, but how many people remember ANY of their names now? (I don't, and I was there for it!) But anybody who knows guitar knows about Randy Rhoads! Lesson: If you're good at what you do, _DIE YOUNG!_ Otherwise you'll hit middle-age and fuck it all up, and then people will be saying "Hey, remember that guy who used to be... ?" [Response: "Who?"] Next thing you know, you're a judge on 'America's Got Idols' and before you know it you're claiming the moon landings were faked as you campaign in support of d****d t***p.
Randy shows real versatile expression, and shame on those nit pickers, without living through this period you will never know the true context of Randy's impact on the kids of the day. He was the reason millions of kids took up guitar, and guitar world was a snobs paradise, Randy Rhodes was not a sacred cow back then, he was hot news for us tho, an amazing kid - so confident, we were awestruck, he'd entered a realm, thanks to being endorsed by Ozzy, and this is a real gem - Randy pre-Oz fabulous
Evh and randy had a well known rivalry back in the day. Thanks to their virtuosity they probably pushed each other even farther which we can all appriciate
Great solo...Randy was an amazing showman and his music still kicks ass. I love how this video makes the Whiskey A Go-Go look like an arena...that place is TINY!!! HAHAHA
The one and only, He WAS & IS the best!!! Hands down!! what a talent!! God only knows what Randy & Hendrix would have done if they were still around!! Long live Randy Rhoads!!! We all Miss you dearly!
Randy Rhoads and Kelly Garni formed Quiet Riot in 1972. By 1979, they were gigging with Kevin DuBrow and Drew Forsyth in both the Starwood and the Whisky in L.A.
Quiet Riot is the first album by the band of the same name, released in 1977. This album features Randy Rhoads on guitar and was only released in Japan.
I remember I used to own the original album of Quiet Riot with Randy on it. When I moved to Hawaii I stored my albums at my aunts house, and she later decided it was a good idea to store the albums in the rain. AGHHH!!! over 300 albums collected from early 70's to late 80's all ruined
Record sales and TV deals don't equate to being iconic. To become that really happens after years and years of success, recognized not only by fans but by industry peers as well (which is not to say awards). Traditionally as a result of those things come sales and awards, but iconic means someone who stands alone and rises above the rest in the collective consciousness, instantly recognizable and completely unique and inspiring beyond their art.
I guess the dislikes are people who can't play like Randy don't be pissed neither can 7 billion others play like Randy miss him I saw him n Ozzy I thought Ozzy went to another planet and brought back an alien Randy seemed like he came from another planet
Slash and Kirk Hammets
Randy's the whole reason i ever touched a guitar. Rest In Peace, man
Me too 😂😂🤣
Same here dude!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I’m 57 now cannot play but I want to own a Gibson Les Paul I had a epiphone could not stay in tune (my greatest thing on my bucket list.🎸

...and Dimebag.
And Eddie
I knew Randy back in the mid 70's we played the Starwood In West Hollywood! He was always friendly and he loved to play guitar and perform! Like Hendrix the world lost agreat talent!
Hendrix suked ass. Randy was 10 times better.
i knew him... back n nAAm
My very 1st concert: 1982 Blizzard Of Oz. Randy blew this 15 y.o. girls mind.
I saw the same tour I think I was around 16 two years prior when I was 14 I saw ac/dc with Bon Scott that was my first concert
Imagine if a master guitar teacher became a rock guitar legend? Well, Randy Rhoads was just that!!!

The guy was a classical guitarist in rock clothing. No one since him has had this kind of talent...
You'd have to combine Malmsteen, Lynch and Gilbert for the complete Randy Rhoads... the man was a musical masterpiece...!!
Ross Vincent john frusciante & mark tremonti they can make him 😊
Lmao delusional fucks, people were playing neoclassical rock about a decade before randy and were much better
Skylar Star such as?
Michael Schenker, Uli Jon Roth, Steve Morse, Al Di Meola, Andy Scott, Ritchie Blackmore
How old was he in his video? I think he was 20.How talented he is!I can hear some classical melodies in his solo.He is my idol.His guitar skills were outstanding, he was a magician.RIP Randy Rhoads...
19 or 20 he was born in 56
This was taken in 79
So 23.. 😂
If this was recorded in '79, he was 22. He left QR and hooked up with Ozzy just before his 23rd birthday in Dec 1979.

I saw him the same year in Bethlehem pa and Motörhead opened there as well
Absolutely amazing. Can't help but get emotional watching this. So much feeling and energy in his music .
How is it still 32 years later and hes still the best imo by far of any guitarist!! RIP Randy you deserved to be alive
and here I sit.. 5/7/2017 admiring this... can you say.. Timeless??? :)

I remember I used to own the original album of Quiet Riot with Randy on it.
When I moved to Hawaii I stored my albums at my aunts house, and she later decided it was a good idea to store the albums in the rain.
AGHHH!!!
over 300 albums collected from early 70's to late 80's all ruined
WTF
Randy Rhoads will never die!
just awesome Randy is a number 1#
Record sales and TV deals don't equate to being iconic. To become that really happens after years and years of success, recognized not only by fans but by industry peers as well (which is not to say awards). Traditionally as a result of those things come sales and awards, but iconic means someone who stands alone and rises above the rest in the collective consciousness, instantly recognizable and completely unique and inspiring beyond their art.
