- Guitar Player Best New Talent 1981!
In 1979, Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne was forming a new band. During an interview with Raw Power Magazine editors Robert Olshever, Murray Schwartz and Scott Stephens (future singer of Liquid Blue), Ozzy mentioned he was looking for a new guitar player. Randy's name was suggested during the interview and the next day Robert asked friend and future Slaughter bassist Dana Strum to try to reach Randy to see if he was interested. Rhoads got the call for the audition just before his final show with Quiet Riot. He walked in with his Les Paul guitar and a practice amp and started warming up. Osbourne immediately gave him the job. Rhoads recalled later, "I just tuned up and did some riffs, and he said, 'You've got the gig'; I had the weirdest feeling, because I thought, 'You didn't even hear me yet'". Osbourne was drunk and passed out during the audition, but described Rhoads' playing as "God entering my life". Rhoads subsequently recommended his friend Greg Leon, who also taught guitar at Musonia for Rhoads' mother, to replace him in Quiet Riot, and then departed for the UK to write and record with Osbourne in November 1979.
The band, then known as The Blizzard of Ozz headed into the studio to record the band's debut album, titled Blizzard of Ozz. Rhoads' guitar playing had changed due to the level of freedom allowed by Ozzy and Bob Daisley and he was encouraged to play what he wanted. His work with Quiet Riot has been criticized as being "dull" and did not rely on classical scales or arrangements. Propelled by Rhoads' neo-classical guitar work, the album proved an instant hit with rock fans, particularly in the USA. They released two singles from the album: "Mr Crowley" and the hit "Crazy Train". The British tour of 1980-81 for Blizzard of Ozz was with Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake.

"i don't want to stop here"... made me cry
damn man. shit really sucks. was such a nice dude. fuck!
rockeztua56 me to.... Thanks for sharing.🐼🐣🐍🦎🐢🐊🐸🦉🐤
You and me both.
I Would've LOVED To Have Been Able To Watch Randy Progress Throughout His Lifetime! My GOD! There's No Telling How Many Awards He Would've Had In His Cabinet By NOW!
HE WAS THE MOST AMAZINGLY TALENTED PERSON I THINK I'VE EVER SEEN, SO SAD HE'S GONE SO YOUNG!!
And seemed so pleasant,
Randy, when he talks, sounds just like everyone historically has said: humble, honest and sweet. Oh, and give him a guitar and he'll blow your mind. Mild mannered metal monster. God bless Randy Rhoads!
Humble is right. Seems to be in short supply these days.
Brian Spruill oh yeah people were real humble back when...oh boy
he taught guitar out of a little studio on lankershim blvd near kittridge, in N.H. California ,and my little brother got to meet and learn a few things from him as he was learning guitar , i sure wish i could of met him,
Robert Bermudez ... I don't know about people back then , neither do you. They r the same to as they we're back then. But Randy Rhoads was humble and appreciative . God bless you Randy Rhoads. Miss and love you. I'm here, see you soon. †

Here here!
He "didn't stop there". Death barely stopped his power, as in 2017 he's still the best electric guitar player the planet has ever seen. Yes, there have been fastest, more skilled, whatever. But none has the whole package like Randy, that special magic that's still to be topped.
NR Productions Eddy Randy
Still the same song in 2022
More skilled? Technically untouchable, incredible musician
Humble, soft spoken, and meek Demeanor. Fierce, powerful, and frightening on the guitar
John Rodgers I couldn't have said it better.
I dont think anyone could have!!
dudefrombarrie Thank you for the MTV clip showing Randy Rhoads accepting the award. He was truely a beautiful soul.
RIP Randy Rhoad...
sadie garcia .... Amen. Rip Randy. Jesus is Lord of all.
John Rodgers you couldn’t have described this legend, this amazing man any better!
Have been listening to Ozzy for more than 35 years; literally since I was a child, but I don't believe I've ever heard Randy's voice until today.
yea
Randy is the one with the helium voice during the fade out on crazy train. So in a way you did hear him.
Ken his voice is also on “Dee Outtakes” on the tribute album
SZPWS1777, Holy shit I just said the same thing the other day,lol. I had thought I must be the only one that never heard him talk. I guess you and I were always too busy listening to him play to worry about interviews 😉🤘🎼🎵🎶
Some dude saved the audio of a guitar lesson Randy gave him. Pretty sure it's on YT. Pretty awesome.
Who'd ever believe that this timid, quiet, little guy would give us some of the greatest heavy metal licks ever?
Timid like a freight train. He was a nice dude by all accounts. He'd also take your head off in a second in a guitar battle. Absolutely ferocious player with Ozzy. He and EVH - two Cali dudes were anything but laidback in their respective approach to guitar. Both very aggressive. Us early 80s kids were spoiled.
*_Long Live Randy Rhoads!_*
Most tragic sentence in rock history… "I don't want to stop here, you know." Then he dies the next year… it's too bad how the innocent guy died at 25. It was a tragic ending…
More like a few months later he died in March 82 that asshole who killed him is hopefully burning in hell Randy did not deserve to go out like that he was about to unleash his gift on the world
truly tragic, a tear in my heart
but when we touch greatness like randy did ,we too feel alive. more than music
When Ozzy makes that face and Randy & Ozzy start giggling while he is being given that award........It devastates me cause when two buddies like that are tragically separated (Randy's Death) it makes me realize what we all missed out on ya know? Blizzard & Diary are two of the best constructed albums I've ever heard can you imagine what was next?
OMG! so humble and grateful! RIP Legend!
Randy Will always be my favorite guitarist. He was unique for his time and influenced everyone afterwards.
Ozzy really loved him. Long Live Randy Rhoads.
"I don't wanna stop here" I always. Always start crying at that point. What a torture to hear. He wanted to keep on going with music, one way or another.
***** that's right mate. He could have been the greatest classical music teacher in the world. Also as a guitarist, still he is.
Stradicaster ... Me to.
Ahhh...yes...way back in the days when MTV actually gave a shit about music....
early 80'S was the very very best.
White music, is what you mean
Randy Rhoads is missed by all of us guitarist, he left too soon.
Randy Rhoads, the King of Rifs. LOVE him and still sad that he is no longer with us.
I Would've LOVED To Have Been Able To Watch Randy Progress Throughout His Lifetime! My GOD! There's No Telling How Many Awards He Would've Had In His Cabinet By NOW!
HE WAS THE MOST AMAZINGLY TALENTED PERSON I THINK I'VE EVER SEEN, SO SAD HE'S GONE SO YOUNG!!
you are so right!
Blizzard and Diary were two of my first rock/metal loves of my life at 10-11 years old. They were dark, mysterious and 'evil', which was amazing to a kid like me back then. Those two recordings still stand tall 40 years later. Randy's playing is an inspiration to me still today even though Im a drummer first and guitarist second. I remember exactly when I heard on the radio he died and never will forget it. RIP and thank you, Randy.
I saw Randy in concert two weeks before he died in that plane crash. I tell you the man could shred.
It was surreal to hear the news of his passing. I can still see Izzy picking him up while he was ripping it up. That was a great thing to see. Sorry he is gone, really.
Where did you see that show? I saw Randy live on February 11 in Indianapolis barely five weeks before the accident. He was just unbelievable.
He was such a good kind and talented man.. I really miss him((
when he started talking i got chills
Krypticate . Me to
A true legend and great human being. Randy you will always be remembered !
Randy was awesome. Very down to earth and humble gentleman. Wish ge were still around. R.I.P. my good man.
He was just a kid. Breaks the heart
Randy forever!
I remember how epic that music was when it came out on the radio. It was like a second coming of Hendrix. So many guitarists can play those parts, just as fast, etc. But none of them seem to move Earth with their playing like Randy could. He could make feedback pound you sonically like thunder! It’s fun to play his licks, but nobody will ever breathe the same life into them.
What a great time to be alive ! Remembering back to the day when rock and roll guitar was special . It's a shame , at the time know body knew he would be the last of his kind . There's no more great guitar playing with great songs anymore .
Glad to see that he was presented with some type of recognition while he was still alive. He knew that his talent was appreciated.
There can only ever be one randy Rhoads, god bless you
My MAN ! The realest!!They're not made for this world!!!
of course he won the award in 81, knowbody else was close, glad he got that award, he clearly deserved it.
Randy we love you!
WELL DESERVED MAN! LEGENDS NEVER DIE!
This guy was such a true genius, years ahead of his time yet so humble. Reminds me of Garth from Wayne's world when he speaks.
KEN5423 your way off. Randy was far from normal. Yes Judas priest was good. But Randy was amazing. His playing on me. Crowley is phenomenal. Rip Randy. Miss you 36 yrs still. †
Today !! 26 years Without Randy '-' ( Cry)
mauricio viana de moura .... He died in 1981, March 19. In 2013, it would be 32 yrs since he passed. Rip Randy Rhoads.... †
Freakin love Randy Rhoads. Still in and will remain in awe when it comes to how he played guitar.
Liked before watching, almost cried when first heard his voice. Amazing. I've been a metalhead for many years but never really listened to Randy's music. I realize now what I've been missing out on. Randy's one of the greatest guitarists known to mankind. May he rest in peace \m/
Randy Roadhs the best, long live to Randy Rhoads!!
He's the greatest guitarist ever!!!
Not to many people come around in your life time that changed your life or music as a whole! This young lad was a pure rock legend. RIP Randy. I hope you are in Heaven. All I can say!
Look at how proud Ozzy was!
The legend will live on
What a sweet, humble guy. Love and miss you, Randy....
Randy the Best of the Best ! !🎸
An humble and sweet person. I guess he was too good for us mortals as his talent was from another place.
he's voice and his way to express things is just like a kid or a very inocent and nice guy , I can't belive he died 13 years before I was born :'(
Hearing him say I don’t want to stop here kills me . Randy had so much more he wanted to bring to the music world
My top 3 favorite guitarists of all time.
1) Randy Rhoads
2) Jimi Hendrix
3) Dave Mustaine
So talented and humble compared to some present-day artists. RIP.
what a great person dearly missed Randy Rhoads🤘❤️❤️🤘
Man, what a genuine cool dude! Still miss him .
Just awesome!! Thank you for sharing this!!!🤘🖤🤘
Ozzy was so proud for Randy..At one time he said Randy are like his baby to him and Sharon 😢
The James Dean of metal. He had so much more to give.
There's some days like today ...where I hate to watch his vids ...the man was a genius on the guitar ...that classical mixed with rock/metal influence beautiful
Legendary interview
As many have said bout Randy with I don't wanna stop here!!! I truly become sad & mourn this beautiful soul, Enjoy Randy's music people because there will never be another!!!!! Point Fuckin Blank.
Being that good and so young think where he would be now ! RIP RR!
Seems like all the great guitarists die young Randy Rhoades, Jimi Hendrix, Dime bag Darrell, Jeff Hennaman etc. They are all missed BIG TIME and their music will live on forever... hopefully !!
don't forget Steve Gaines.
very similar to Randy's story. just got in Skynyrd, made the album "Street survivors" and I think a live one too, then the plane crash in 77
I was a crazy fan of Randy. just heard that guitar and it grabbed me and I said I got to learn that.
I did not know what he looked like for a long time but when I seen pictures of him playing I thought "this guy looks exactly like he sounds" beautiful!!!!!!
Steve Gaines was a more blues southern rock guy. I thought he made great contributions to Skynyrd. Fit in good with them and sang good too. made some classic songs.
so many great guitar players
All Western music will be banned under Islam. And destroyed, forever.
@@johnrocco496 Agree,We Lost so much talent,The one thing that will be here when were not...Music.I just hope the new generation digs this music as much as we all do.🙂
My inspiration, my hero. Leyend.
What a humble guy a nice nice man that was gone far too soon
RANDY THE BEST
I love Randy roadhs You are the Best for me .😇🥰😭
2022 still rocking. RIP
Well deserved
At the end of this video the flame from the castle makes it look like Randy’s guitar head it shooting out flames . Awesome
Great clip. Historic. Never heard Randy talk before. Thank you for preserving and posting this.
What an absolute Angel a beautiful soul. God he was just the fucking best.
This is the first time I've ever heard his voice.
I just about cried r.i.p. randy rhoads
the last thing he says on this video just cuts through you
ik man such a shame be died the next year. He had so much potential long live the legend Randy Rhoads R.I.P
He was very nice , this makes me cry...
Um dos melhores guitarristas e violonista que existiu esse cara era foda era grande um músico excelente
I was almost eighteen when Randy Rhodes died I think I seen it on MTV a very sad tragedy he was having the best years of his life being in Ozzy's band!! that must have been a great honor for him and for Ozzy as well you know that his mom was happy for him and it's true Randy was not the fastest he was like slash be slash came on the scene and Randy played that guitar with feeling and with heart and soul he made the guitar come alive and made it talk like nobody else can what a fantastic guy he was God bless Randy Rhodes forever🎵🎵🤘🤘🇬🇧🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸and up the irons maiden manic🎸🎸🎶🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘🤘🎵🎵🎵👍🎵
Only the good die young. Randy was more than just a catalyst, he was that one man who brought Ozzy back from a terrible slump and possibly saved Ozzy from a slow death alone too. I think Ozzy looks at Randy like an angel back then and still right now. I know I was just a 1 year old back then but with growing up with two older sisters, 9 and 10 years older, I was listening to Metal and 80's by age 5-6 years....
''I don't want to stop here...''. You are now allowed to cry.
eduardo0796 ... Trust me, I did... And still am. Rip Randy Rhoads.... Amen
Shine on you beautiful crazy diamond you where the best of the very best nobody will ever outshine you are among the greats and we will always love and respect you no wonder Ozzy loved you you where a very humble and not a show off you where true to yourself and to Ozzy and the rest of the band you really had a bright future and things where looking great.leglands.never.die.and Randy you are that Legoland you have inspired a lot of guitarists and will continue to do so and the angels are waping there wings around you wherever you are you are in a special place rip in glory to the late great Randy Rhodes you make the heavens sing and up the irons maiden manic and you where and are still one of the best of all all time make that flying v guitar sing!!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎶🎶🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🎵🎵🎵🎵
Absolute legend!
He was and will aways be the #1 BEST guitar player in the world.
Randy is the GOAT!
At the beginning of the video you could see Ozzie was genuinely happy for him
"I don't want to stop here....!" God....😢
so cool seeing this!
What a shame he was taken so young. God bless Randy.
1rst time see'n this ,wow,that sux he died,he seems like a real cool dude. Monster guitar player!!😎
so sweet!!
"I don't wanna stop here..." 1) Lay Down 2) Try not to cry 3) Sob uncontrollably
Rip best guitarist!
The greatest
Randy Rules!
Randy's my guitar hero and huge influence on me...I made this tribute video for Randy. Diary of a Madman Randy Rhoads & Ozzy Osbourne Cover by Joseph Madonna
Back when mtv was worth watching!!!!
@ShreddinStrings Randy is the master!
"I don't wanna stop here, you know" - A few month later he's gone... I think Ozzy never really recovered from the loss of Randy.
DenimDude88 ... Yes, I don't think Ozzy did. Everytime you mention him, Ozzy talks about Randy, you can hear the love in his voice. Omg, too sad. Rip Randy Rhoads. Amen †
... music still kicks ass ...
rip randy saw you with ozzy on day on the green july4th 1981
I've always wondered what he'd be doing if he were alive today.
I'm sure everybody who has ever heard of him wonders that.
He wanted to be a classical music teacher. So I guess he would be doing that.
+Maikol Angelo playing a guitar, or having a guitar lesson, learning something new, or showing the rest of us something new. Thats what i like to think anyway. RIP RR \m/
Humble fella
Ozz looks like a happy poppa
How many years has it been? Way back then he was incredibly gifted and still to this day his playing style is still inspiring young future musicians....Wow, I started going into "Morgan Freeman" mode about it!!! whew!! MAN!! One stupid 20 something year old mistake....no one saw it coming, right?
