This is one of my favorite solos to play and I wanted to share it with you guys and pay tribute to the double O.This solo is also #17 in the Gibson.com Top 50 guitars solos of all time!!
It's great that he's in Judas Priest now.. but I've always thought he'd be the perfect guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne. That badass style, shredding and tone is just too good and does some justification to Randy.
Heard lots of people playing Randy's solo, but this is the first time I've heard someone make it their own with such feel, heart, soul, and technical prowess. AWESOME!!!
Michael Z Martin I never liked those two very much, especially Vai. And Lynch and other such mid-to-late 80's Glam/Pop Metal players used too much legato and too much digital delay and chorus, and were lacking a raw edge, attitude, and balls. I prefer raw 70's-style Hard Rock guitarists such as Angus Young and Ted Nugent and early 80's Metal players like Glenn Tipton/KK Downing and Dave Murray/Adrian Smith. And of course, Iommi Schenker, and Rhoads are gods. After Yngwie hit the scene in the mid-80's, many Hard Rock/Metal guitar players became obsessed with speed and technique as opposed to feeling and style. That's when it all started going downhill. So I salute Grunge for going against the grain and getting Rock and Metal fans and guitarists back into simple raw passionate emotive playing as opposed to of stiff boring overly-technical shredding.
Pretty sick Richie. It's no wonder that Judas Priest wanted you as the replacement for KK. You are right up there along with Zakk, Nuno, Gilbert, and all the greats!
@@nobleeffort2.4 Yes that's always true. Same as Adrian or Dave's replacements or Phil Rudd when he left ACDC for a while. And so on. The original guys in legendary bands always had their original signature stamp and sound that made the bands who they were. We are forever grateful for what they gave us and also happy that they weren't replaced with hacks like Gilby Clark or dudes who suck. Richie is a stellar choice. He'll never gel with the same chemistry with Glenn like KK did but I'm thankful he is the one that was given the torch to carry on
This is a great example of how his solo's turn into mindblowing riffs on their own. One of the only guitar players I know who sound like they play a song within a song.
mr faulkner you are a true guitarist with soul and power like no one these day you and some RARE guitar player like wylde and others are truly inspiring for ghitar player like me thanks for keeping real rock and roll alive cheers !!!!
I was just searching for covers of this amazing solo and was like "Wow such a good cover" then I read the comments and this guy is the new lead guitarist of Judas Priest? Dude deserves it.
Ya! Ritchie, I really like you guitar playing. Its a mixture of alot of great guitarists I grew up listening to and learning from. Michel Schenker, Zack Wilde, Jimmy Hendrix, and the great Randy Rhodes, and more! Thanks
I must say, he did an awesome job at the Epitaph concert, it almost seemed like he'd always been a part of the band! A lot of energy combined with flawless playing and a great personality makes him a worthy successor to KK :)
Guitarists, notably in the metal genre have continuously pushed the boundaries of virtuosic playing. And while there are those who believe it lacks soul, Richie and several others prove that theory wrong. To be able to play guitar well requires talent, from a single note vibrato to 10 000 notes being shredded. Let's not judge. Let's enjoy. Stay metal. \m/
I was at high voltage, and when i saw you i thought i was dreaming, seemed like my greatest guitar idol, the other greatest idol being bruce lee, was up before me. You seemed to give me what i missed out on as randy died before i was born, i know you are your own person and you played magnificently, but at least i have you to listen to, as i couldn't listen to randy in the flesh, It makes me so happy to see you were a fan of his too, thanks for the experience and keep rocking.
yeah sorry dude. I'm planning on posting a randy rhoads tribute with crowley again since i got it down cleaner. I never said it was easy, i'm just saying it's not yngwie malmsteen or some crazy technical shit like that
Man, I saw this guy on Saturday, and he was phenomenal! Not only was he playing great, but his presence was too. Very good charisma and playing. Great choice for Judas Priest!
I admit.. I was afraid of losing K.K. But... WOW. I love your wide open style. I love how you show respect to the many guitarists, that you and I love so much. I have enjoyed you since I first saw you live back in Bakersfield, calif. Then again In Paso Robles, Calif ( with Mastodon) Thanks for being a metalhead, and a Jed ( or your attitude as an apprentice). I appreciate what you have brought to one of OUR favorite bands. I am enjoying these videos you have shared with us. THanks again!
I SAW YOU IN THE EPITAPTH WORLD TOUR WIHTH JUDAS PRIEST AND MAN, YOU HAVE BECAME ONE OF MY FAVORITE GUITARRIST SINCE THAT SHOW HERE IN MEXICO CITY!!! YOU REALLY KNOW HOW TO PLAY GUITAR A ND ALOSO I LOVE YOUR LES PAUL xD I would like to meet you some day STAY HEAVY DUDE!!!
@LordGandor3 Yup....we do. So great seeing the two of them up there rocking out, like a machine! It's all so sudden though, I just hope he's not ill. I'll probably go one last time too when they come to town... rock on bro!
I remember one time coming to see Metalworks play at 'The Cauliflower', coming off stage after totally ripping a Cowley solo, at my request, which I was, and still very chuffed about. I went over to say thank you and show some respect, and my other half Gillian, who gets quite excitable, before I could even get a word out, very loudly said to you that you was "Shit Hot", unfortunately you only heard "SHIT"! Slightly awkward, Obviously explained and the funny side, seen quickly. But a nice memory we both have, that still comes up in conversation a lot, my other half is still genuinely really embarrassed by it, especially now, with you being as successful as you are, playing with Preist. This must be going back 20 yrs or so now, at least. You was fucking awesome back then, and you've only got better as times gone on!!! Much love brother. Keep it rocking! Terry.
Ive been playing guitar for about a year now and i love it, but Ive been slipping away from practice and being lazy.. just not feelin it i guess. but you videos just inspired me again. I dont know who you are but thank you for lighting my fire!!!
i always wondered if randy rhoads ever played in judas priest! to me you're the resurrection of randy.. i feel like in some extent my dream came true! hail and respect from Bangladesh!
This my new Guitar Hero!! To me, his playing and sound is like a cool rain on parched desert sand!! This guy could be the savior of real metal/rock! Death metal and cookie monster singers suck ass!! This is real talent and musicanship!! I hope this guy goes on to write 100 bad ass songs and has a very long career. I will play like this some day!!
There are harmonic points right over the pickups. If you pick the note first, then, lightly touch that harmonic spot while the note is ringing, or do a side of the pick harmonic squeal right in that spot, you can get that effect. I'm pretty sure that's what he did based on the position of his picking hand.
I saw you play with Priest last week at the Izod Center in NJ and I have to say - originally I was bummed out that K.K. left the band, but when you came out looking like Randy Rhoads (my all-time fave next to Hendrix) and then playing like him too, I was floored. Great job man!

Faulkner is the new lead guitarist of Judas Priest , certainly he's one of the best
He ain't the lead guitarist... both play solos, but history has proven Glenn to be the lead most of the time...
Yes , I agree
@@thanasismavromixailidis918 Not anymore.
He saved the band!
Dude the guy clearly was a legend before making it to lead guitars for JP
If you notice carefully, he’s not going with the backing track, the track is going along with him, now that’s perfection.
🎯
It's great that he's in Judas Priest now.. but I've always thought he'd be the perfect guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne. That badass style, shredding and tone is just too good and does some justification to Randy.
+Sakshat Tiwari He IS Judas Priest now...Ozzy has good talent now.
exactly this...
Chris Ayres 🤣
I think it's too similar to Zakk in terms of sound
Ya but ozzy and Sharon are POS
Heard lots of people playing Randy's solo, but this is the first time I've heard someone make it their own with such feel, heart, soul, and technical prowess. AWESOME!!!
I agree exactly Mr. de ORo. his own touch. Well said.
Listen to charlie para del riego's version.
charlies version is perfect
Diego de Oro zakk wylde.... jake lee.....
Totally! Just awsum love from india🇮🇳
Ripping it up, but with heart, soul and passion - something most modern Metal shredders have absolutely no clue about.
Michael Z Martin I never liked those two very much, especially Vai. And Lynch and other such mid-to-late 80's Glam/Pop Metal players used too much legato and too much digital delay and chorus, and were lacking a raw edge, attitude, and balls.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? Really?!
Some people are just trolls and ignorant.
Idiotic brainless people.
they cant play...
Probably misclicked
@@smr_0172 It's the way of Communism.
He is a technical genius
its like he is a combination of zakk, randy, jake, and gus all in one
im flabbergasted
I wish I saw this earlier! Yeah, he really is! OK Richie, we get it, pal. Leave some pussy and talent for the rest of us, pal. What the fuck.
and kurt cobain
@@agusred11 He slightly resembles Kurt, but Kurt never had this type of talent.
He pretended to be Kurt Cobain, but the playing gave him away!
M me more baby oll mmmm no j
This guy is one of the best guitar players today,thank you Richie!!!!!
Pretty sick Richie. It's no wonder that Judas Priest wanted you as the replacement for KK. You are right up there along with Zakk, Nuno, Gilbert, and all the greats!
Even Steve Harris of Iron Maiden had Richie in mind if anything happened to any of 3 amigos.

Bro WTF this man is literally shredding effortlessly! He looks like he’s just playin the easiest solo of his life. He’s got an awesome style of play
Hi, please visit my channel and sub
This is a great example of how his solo's turn into mindblowing riffs on their own. One of the only guitar players I know who sound like they play a song within a song.
I love how he barely even looks at his guitar
+cpgoimy You dont need to when you're that good ;)
When you're that good you've memorized the guitar neck. He could probably play in his sleep
I've been playing that solo for almost 30 years...
Just realized I should practice it more! Great job!
mr faulkner you are a true guitarist with soul and power like no one these day you and some RARE guitar player like wylde and others are truly inspiring for ghitar player like me thanks for keeping real rock and roll alive cheers !!!!
I was just searching for covers of this amazing solo and was like "Wow such a good cover" then I read the comments and this guy is the new lead guitarist of Judas Priest? Dude deserves it.
Exactly the Zakk Wylde tone!
Kick Ass Brother!!
The solo feeds from the soul.. Randy would be proud
Ya! Ritchie, I really like you guitar playing. Its a mixture of alot of great guitarists I grew up listening to and learning from. Michel Schenker, Zack Wilde, Jimmy Hendrix, and the great Randy Rhodes, and more! Thanks
PERFECT VERSION
You could probably spend an entire lifetime and not reach close enough to play this solo, let alone to such perfection.
I must say, he did an awesome job at the Epitaph concert, it almost seemed like he'd always been a part of the band! A lot of energy combined with flawless playing and a great personality makes him a worthy successor to KK :)
That's fucking amazing for a dude who says he don't like to play solos lmao, Priest are lucky to have him 🤘
He doesn’t like playing solos?
what luck to find you on the first search. well done
great solo! is one of my favorites guitar players of all time masters covering masters!
This guy is one the best of all time. He plays so cleanly and his touch and feel is insane. It’s like an improved young Zakk Wylde.

Best I’ve heard for his generation by far . That Mr. Crowley solo is perhaps the best since the original .
If Randy Rhoads and Michael Schenker had a kid.The intensity is on point.
I saw you live at Nancy heavy weekend, you're pure awesome man ❤❤❤
2017 and i still watch these videos. love this guy
OMG i saw him live he was a fucking beast! You sir are fucking awesome!!!! it gives me hope to see newer amazing guitarists like yourself.
Dude he popped a string at the end, and still played it out
I was at high voltage, and when i saw you i thought i was dreaming, seemed like my greatest guitar idol, the other greatest idol being bruce lee, was up before me. You seemed to give me what i missed out on as randy died before i was born, i know you are your own person and you played magnificently, but at least i have you to listen to, as i couldn't listen to randy in the flesh, It makes me so happy to see you were a fan of his too, thanks for the experience and keep rocking.
you're one of the best guitar players around the globe man, such an ear for different tones
makes it look so easy...
it's not super hard dude.
Rebirth112 Post your version of it then
Rebirth112 you were a tad sloppy in your version, little too much string noise. Though close perhaps not as easy as you stated
yeah sorry dude. I'm planning on posting a randy rhoads tribute with crowley again since i got it down cleaner. I never said it was easy, i'm just saying it's not yngwie malmsteen or some crazy technical shit like that
Look at u 11 years after. Dedication and love from Mexico !!!
so good
Ridiculous, really
Pretty sure Randy is smiling in Heaven while watching this.
Great stuff Ritchie.
Great twist on it, excellent version
absolutely tearing it up with soul and style! so good!
this video was one of my inspirations when i first started learning randy rhoads solos tbh. glad to see you in judas priest
I love the thick sound of the Les Paul. Makes the solo sound so much better.
Finally, someone who puts some feeling/personality into those notes. Rock on!
Wow even getting a little showboating in there dig it
Richie Faulkner is an excellent guitarist
epic tone and epic playing . good job
You would have been a far better choice than Gus G to replace Zakk in Ozzy's Band !
he's in Judas Priest, i think he's better there :P
Yeeh Sharon would've fukked him over... He's better with Priest
gus G is a very good guitarrist too
He borrows pretty heavily from Zakk's tone, too.
No chance gus blows him away .
Man, I saw this guy on Saturday, and he was phenomenal! Not only was he playing great, but his presence was too. Very good charisma and playing. Great choice for Judas Priest!
it is unbelievably cool someone represents Randy in this way.. . .Thank you Richie Faulkner
This guitar cover is absolutely perfect
nunca tendra el.sentimiento como.lo.tocaba el gran Randy
best cover ive seen. amazing!
this solo and ride the lightning solo are my most favorite solos
I admit.. I was afraid of losing K.K. But... WOW. I love your wide open style. I love how you show respect to the many guitarists, that you and I love so much. I have enjoyed you since I first saw you live back in Bakersfield, calif.

Awesome leag guitarist
.among the top three leadguitar giants..Go .. Richie the sky is the limit for you..God Blesd you son
i always wondered if randy rhoads ever played in judas priest! to me you're the resurrection of randy.. i feel like in some extent my dream came true! hail and respect from Bangladesh!
I found someone from my tribe lol! :v
A true master of the guitar! Did Randy Proud!👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
flamboyant stage image,awesome combination of color, very clear and deliciously!
The best wishes from Russia!
@swampthing94 awesome. i havent ever really listened to them soo..cool
Thank you for such a nice post Ritchie. You totally shred man Immensely Incredible. #17, and you nail it like hell 👏👏👏 Bravo ❤
really great...
How'd you do the crazy high sounds at 1:59? I gotta cop that
+John Benoit i see it as a modified pig squeal. i dont know how he did it really
+John Benoit Sounds like a squeal but I also have no idea how he did it without a whammy.
+John Benoit I reckon it's just the magic of a Les Paul /,,/
+John Benoit So awesome that this guy is in Judas Priest now. Unreal what changed since he made these videos
artificial harmonic with the addition of effects. I hear rotovibe and chorus / phaser maybe. and tons of compression
Almost snaps the button off every time he switches pick ups. Love it. With authority!
:O You're such an awesome person, man.
Who came here after he crushed that Painkiller solo while suffering from an Aortic Aneurysm? Richie is officially a Metal God
Wow that is crazy impressive where is this guy at now and days?
He's playing lead for Judas Priest.
Great, great, great!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so natural and easy played. Brilliant
Hot damn Richie! That was sick AF! My man!!!
welcome to Judas Priest,Richie:)
See u at HighVoltage Festival London!!!!!
Great stuff..Simply amazing..
Awesome cover solo mr crowley..
It does not hurt the Randy's original and made Richie's feeling on it.
This is best of the best. AWESOME!!!
This my new Guitar Hero!! To me, his playing and sound is like a cool rain on parched desert sand!! This guy could be the savior of real metal/rock! Death metal and cookie monster singers suck ass!! This is real talent and musicanship!! I hope this guy goes on to write 100 bad ass songs and has a very long career. I will play like this some day!!
Bruce Key lmfao fuck death metal
Death Metal will be the Death of Metal!! Death metal must be Destroyed where ever it is found!!
Bruce Key death metal > thrash
zackwright165 wrong way
Richie slayed last night on American Idol. He played and looked like a badass up there.
Beautiful
There are harmonic points right over the pickups. If you pick the note first, then, lightly touch that harmonic spot while the note is ringing, or do a side of the pick harmonic squeal right in that spot, you can get that effect.

Amazing solo Richie. Glad you're in Priest man.
Heart felt for sure 😔 thanks so much 👍🍁💚
Great !!!! I like that
Great!!!!
Richie, this is superb. Rock on. And I also think you are great in The Priest.
Awesome!
@gredax I'm seeing them Live in November in Detroit - So Excited :)
can listen that whole day
I saw you play with Priest last week at the Izod Center in NJ and I have to say - originally I was bummed out that K.K. left the band, but when you came out looking like Randy Rhoads (my all-time fave next to Hendrix) and then playing like him too, I was floored. Great job man!
Holy...shit... best thing I've seen in a long time. You're a genius
it seem so natural and spontaneous like this solo has been thought by you
You're fantastic my friend "kudos"🤘🏻
This is the coolest guy on earth 😂 absolutely incredible man
greatest guitar solo
LOVE your playing!!!!
Again!! The exact same cool nonchalance as R.R!! You make it seem sooooo easy!!
