The saddest part about this whole performance by Ozzy is that it is really the only pro shot video that I know of of Randy, and the friggin' camera operators had no idea who they were filming or what they were doing! Why is the camera not locked on Randy during the solos! :D
I bet that camera guy really felt like a dumbass later on in life, he didn't know how lucky he was to be in the presence of the great one !!! Randy was taken from us way too early! No matter how good of a player he was he was constant'ly wanting to learn more! He learned alot from his mother too, she was a piano teacher and after growing up in that atmosphere he had musical note's bouncing back & forth in his head all the time, he was a mama's boy and loved his mother with all his heart and his heart was huge! He was always so kind and well mannered and had no ill will to anyone! I often wondered how a little timid guy like him could play so loud and aggressive, that polka dotted fly'ing-V was as big as he was but somehow he managed to make that guitar sing with perfect precision, just imagine what he'd be like today if he was still with us! Thanks for the beautiful melodic riff's Randy, you meant so much to so many and you will never be forgotten little buddy !!! 😔 r.i.p.
@@michaelsullivan9342 Randy showed up at Ozzys open tryout with a tiny combo and played Classical music. Everyone else showed up with stacks and tried to rip the frets off. Obviously you know who won out.
@@Troutflies71 for the “flashy” stuff, yes. The solo spots he did live he said he didn’t care for doing but with Eddie doing them he felt he had to keep up. He said it was all flash. Hence why he tried to put some classical passages in them and not simply fast, technical flashy things.
He looks at the camera each time he throws a messed up interval that somehow ends up yanking us forward in the phrase rather than dislocating us from the vibe. That's a chunk of the magic and mystery - the Randy Brain. Check the hard look he throws right before the flatted 9th again at 23 minutes in, the long slow barely almost half side smile and then look away as he knows what he just did lol it was part of the plan after all
@Fer Flores Rule 1 - thou shalt stfu during Valley Of Fire. I made it when I heard it first, and I make sure whenever anyone mentions Jason that I share it with them. It's a good rule; makes people think when you yell it at them because they were talking during Valley of Fire - free to use!
Legend has it Randy was struggling to come up with a great lead in the "afterbirth" section of Mr. Crowley. Ozzy challenged him and the pissed off and motivated Randy came up with the greatest lead break in heavy metal history. That solo has been giving me goosebumps for 40 years. Every. Single. Time. Randy Rhoads was in my eyes and to my ears the greatest lead guitarist in metal . Even Dime idolized Randy. 'Nuff said. Tony Iommi built the house of metal;Randy kicked the door down. To me March 19th, 1982 is the "(second) day the music died." What a tragic loss.
Every time Ozzy comes back in, Rhoads just happens to be playing notes that matches his voice. Dude absolutely paid attention. Hell, he probably new more about Ozzy's voice range than Ozzy did.
"I'm getting beat up here" great video my man. Randy was a virtuoso and would have been so at any time in human history. He is the only person that ever made me cry with a guitar solo. The emotion he exudes during the solos in this song is freaking unreal.
Even Randy's teacher threw his hand up one day and told his mother there was nothing more he could teach Randy. It's amazing to watch a man who knows musical theory break down Randy's work but still not be able to play it like Randy could. Randy was one of a kind. All of the theory in this world could not account for Randys touch, passion and soul.
PACK 2020 Randy played differently live than he did in the studio.. He used a lot of filler notes live to transition from phrase to phrase.. He couldn't do that in the studio.. If he did , he wouldn't have quite the reputation that he has amongst other guitarists...
Its not the 80's conversation anymore. The audience HAS been killing the audience and you want to forget that and try and start a 1980's style conversation. You're A dreamer. You're A gutless weasel. That's What we think of you. Are you planning to rob Randy's music school? You'll NOT get a conversation in 2022.
What is insane is Randy was 24 years old in 81. Died the next year in 82. What he did in that short time while so young is just amazing. One of the best ever.
@Race Card He's looking like he's Randy's cheerleading as he can't believe he's ended up in a band with another world class guitar player. Ozzy has been incredibly blessed to have played with so many awesome players. Tony, Randy, and Jake being his top 3. Tony is obviously the Godfather and architect of metal. Randy was one of the original virtuoso rock mixed with classical shredders. All the musicians Ozzy worked with were standouts in their own ways. I'd have to say Ozzy has been the luckiest as well as hard working men of metal.
This was my first time catching one of your videos. Excellent. Yours was not just a reaction to the composition itself; it focused on the guitar. But neither was it just a straightforward lesson, or 'how to play this'. You looked at his movements from an abstract level, taking us through how he moved up and down the fretboard and changed modes, and the particular notes he uses to give character to his runs. It felt as if we got a peek into the 'musical brain' that was operating while Randy's fingers were doing the gymnastics. Well done.
31:46 Minor second interval reaction 😂 The keyboards are doubling the lead I think. Thank you for the great music. It just makes me cry. The guy who made me start playing. There will never be another guitarist like Randy. What a genius.
With that number of subscribers, it seems he's hit the mass market. I can barely play myself, but have found the videos to be more informative and enjoyable to watch than my playing ability alone warrants. He's got a unique formula for youtube music content, a new method for a new medium.
As a fellow teacher, I recognized that look of, "I've gotta get this, or my student is going to think, I don't know what I'm doing". Great job, Mike. Love the channel. How about some King's X, or George Lynch?
As a drummer, I never realized just how AMAZING Randy Rhodes was! ( i was always listening to Tommy Aldridge ). Randy was on entirely different level. Damn
This song it a masterpiece. Every time I hear make me chills. Randy Rhoads was way ahead of his time. Thank both Ozz and Randy for making this possible. Long Live RocknRoll
I can't listen to this outro solo without crying. It evokes every type of emotion in me. Randy knew the right ways to hit a note to make the listener feel the song. Music is about the emotion, not just the sounds.
We were fortunate to be teenage guitar player's back in the 80's, we were smack dab right in the middle of the glorious Hair Band's and Metal Head year's !!! I had a ton of fun play'in with my guitar's, drug's & horny girl's, I overindulged in all of it and made it out kinda banged up but still alive lol! 😬😌😆 those were the day's !!!😉✌
Yes brother sex,drugs and Rock 🪨 🎸 Roll,same here did it all through the 80s ,a decade of excess, those were the years of glorious Metal head's 👏 💯🇵🇷🎸✌👊🤞🤘
This is how I spent many many hours trying to learn Randy Rhoads. I drove myself insane over it at times. his riffs and fills capture the listener like you said and it so true. Great video.
Same here, I spent my high school years pouring over Blizzard and Diary attempting to learn the nuances. More than a decade later, he’s still my favorite guitarist.
Not just anybody can sit down and rip Randy note for note...I love your honesty...and we all miss Randy terribly. We are lucky to live in the same era as you both...Thanks for the tribute
In my opinion, one of the best live performances ever! And your enthusiasm while watching Randy's greatness is just so damn refreshing, in this era of declining musicality.
I’ve been caught up playing guitar and doing just guitar things for years, to the point where I almost felt ashamed to pick up my guitar because besides all the songs I’d learned through tabs, I felt that I couldn’t just play music. I’ve now started to take this approach to the songs I know, breaking down what they’re actually doing and trying to understand why. Now I’ve come across this video, reacting to one of my all time favorite pieces. Thank you for making this video.
Why is the audience killing the audience and guys on stage these days? Why did I get punched in the back at a concert? Why did that guy shoot everyone at a country music concert in las vegas? Are YOU going to rob Randy's music school too? Daren, wake-up mate! This is 2022. Eric Johnson himself warned you The concept of music has changed. You don't live on brando island. You WILL be forced to deal with the changed culture of the world. We're NOT going to have a 1980's style conversation in 2022.
When you think about how young he was when he passed. He was only getting going but undeniably one of the best guitarists I have ever heard. He had his own unique style
This is an amazing video. Truly. I was a student of Randy's for several years back it the 70s and your explanation and dissection of this solo really does an amazing job of encapsulating his mindset when creating these works of art that we call solos. Randy was a writer. He left nothing to chance and used the years of training he received from his mom in all kinds of instruments to create a style that is truly unlike anyone's to this day. Thank you so much for doing this. It does my heart good to see Randy getting his due after all these years.
Someone who had played with Randy late 70s said he was brilliant but when soloing he had to be well prepared. Its wonderful to hear from people like yourself who have witnessed Randy. As its mindboggling to have Randys former students post here. I thibk Randy was obviously great but had to take out of LA to get him in right perspective. Thanks for posting
DUDE! YOU HUNG RIGHT IN THERE! 🤣🤣 I love your playing but I didn't have alot of hope that you could make sense of this when I saw what you were taking on. You're now my favorite guitar player! Well done bro.
You're still not hearing it... Randy was very, very deliberate. He spent so much time in the studio and on his theory way beyond what we hear on the recording the first hundred times... this is the live so he's simplifying as he isn't only double tracking the solo note for note on the album... Definite dorian, harmonic and melodic minor deviations. Randy was carving a niche and wanted to sound Bach influenced and develop his sound and style. I think you owe him some more time to actually figure out where he's sending you. I'm still hearing new things all these years later.
Man this was such a great study and break down of Randy's solo. It makes a ton of sense as to why it sounds good. Best break down of Randy ever. Thank you. He really was phenomenal.
Wrong. You really are delusional pete. You're Obviously hiding from the 2022 audience. You're not out there breaking down anything, cause you're hiding in here trying to gossip to strangers.
Loved this. As a (non-teacher) guitarist, I appreciate your learning insights. I think about the same way when learning something like this - target notes, cadence, pattern, etc.. Great stuff. I think that look at the end when Ozzy is looking dazed is him realizing how lucky he is to have a band like that simply destroying behind him. This was recorded in a TV studio during their tour, and there are no production values at all - except for clear camera work and audio. Sadly it was one of the few times that band were captured on video in all their glory.
Something fun with randy is a lot of times when he double tracks he'll change a few select notes to add a 5th or slight bend which on the albums gives it that crazy sound
I'm not a good guitar player but I watch Randy's playing and hearing what he's doing his classically trained style of playing is still to this day is just ear candy, like a fine culinary chef he knew what tasted delicious to the ear
It's crazy,as a fellow guitarist to watch u respond to everynote "air conductor" as I do..I feel the same exact parts notes and movements as u do.Same feeling of getting blown away and feeling his off color touches to resolve what he hasn't even put down yet..incredible..I for some reason forget his musical pallette is so advanced and incredible.r.i.p
I love how Randy starts the solo in the basic pentatonic but somehow slips out of it into the minor scale. I can’t really do it without sounding like I’m trying to do too much. Great work on the breakdown!
This was absolutely the right song to do a longer form video. Thank YOU. I loved that you loved this. This song is one of the quintessential guitar songs to me. Outro solo is practically a song by itself. Thanks again.
I can't think of too many people who would attempt to learn RR material in front of others, let alone the internet. It was a noble effort and you clearly know what you're talking about. Well done, sir.
Your reaction is priceless to Randy. I know your pain because everything he did just takes forever to decipher not to mention his solos are devastating. I almost quit playing because of him. I subscribed to your channel. You have really helped. Keep practicing as am I.
Which of you robbed Randy's music school? Why did the audience shoot dime on stage? What's your reaction to the audience killing the audience now? Why does generation Y punch generation X in the back at concerts? Why does the audience get stabbed going to and from concerts or small shows? Why does the audience bash audience members to death in the male toilets? Why doesn't anyone speak to anyone at concerts?
Awesome video!!! Learning Randy on the fly, serrious heavy lifting. What great about this is seeing someone who can play and trial and error... most guitar players dont show the wrong notes you hit to find the right ones...good for you... the best motivation for all of us is knowing nothing comes to us instantly or perfectly... as far as Randy if he had lived... Rudy Sarzo ( who played with Randy in Blizzard of Oz and Quiet Riot) said he thought Randy wiuld have become a classic player and most likely gone back to something he truly loved...teaching. again awesome video. Oh sounds like a harmoizer pedal on the last solo.
Rhoads concept of guitar playing was so far advanced from everybody else back then...and here it is over 40 years later, and they still cant figure out how he was doing this....guy had a rare gift that we'll never see again...
Wow, I'm speechless..that was incredible. I've always wanted to learn to play that stuff, you explain things that I could only hear and not know where it's coming from. Your an absolute monster on the guitar!!!
🤘🤘 Came across this video, I am a huge Randy Rhoads fan. First heard him in 1981 on my tenth birthday and never looked back! This is great, and it's really cool to see the looks on your face when you across parts where Randy Rhoads does...what Randy Rhoads Does! lol, He's a legend, my personal all time favorite, but I have to say it was great to watch you figure this song and all the nuances and methods Randy used! Thanks for reminding everyone how great Randy Rhoads Is!
Dude. Seriously. You have all the skills !! Damn. Even though Randy was insanely impressive, don’t cut yourself short. You are right there in his style. Keep in mind he bled this style and honed his skill to play it fluently. You did him justice !!
Уверен, что ни один музыкант не сможет никогда и нигде играть на гитаре так, как играл на ней Рэнди Роудс! Rest in Peace. Amen / I am sure that no musician anywhere will ever be able to play the guitar the way Randy Rhoads played it!
I love it... I love you... And I love the way you tear the shit outta these songs and analyze them... This, and the Van Halen formula for hit songs, are by far my favourites. Keep on rocking, brother.
@@Guitargate and I love the passion that you show in your analyses. Sometimes it's like your mouth can't keep up with the many thoughts you're having on a subject. It's great to see and very inspiring. Oh, and I loved your analysis and explanation of the video where you played with a band, and how you integrated your playing with theirs. Awesome. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for the run through this germ Mike I'm not a player myself but there's was 2 string gods in my teens one was Randy the other was and still is Gary Moore hoping you someday have the time to do him and if, that you choose something from his none blues period maybe even coloseum 2 or his instrumental material he was such a versatile player and a lot of people forget that
Thank you for putting in the time to make this video and going through the entire song in such detail. I wouldn't normally watch a 50 minute video but we're talking about Randy Rhoads here! I learned this song (to the best of my ability anyway) from a tab book long long ago but your analysis has given me an entirely new perspective of what Randy is doing and why I love this song so damn much. Closest thing to hearing it for the first time again. Cheers!
Bass player is Rudy Sarzo by the way. Love Randy and Ozzy, this being a long time favorite. Over the Mountain and Flying High Again are pretty epic as well.
I know....but not on the recording...bob on bass...lee on drums...just like carmine was on bark at the moon video but tommy did the drumming on the recording and must of the tours...anyway ozzy's band was never a steady band for recordings/live shows and videos....the longest line up was jake/bob/tommy(guitar/bass/drums...and I'm talking about the glory years of ozz
Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were only on tour for Blizzard & Diary. Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley were the original drummer & bassist that wrote and recorded with Randy & Ozzy.
I had the privilege of seeing Ozzy and Randy Rhoads at his last concert in Knoxville Tennessee. And I'm from Florida and was on my way back home to go to the show in Florida. When I heard on the radio that he was killed it was the saddest day of my life he was to me the best guitar player ever . R.IP Randy Rhoads gone but never forgotten even close to forty years later he will never be forgotten rip
This is the best video I’ve seen you do. Love it. I love your reaction and complete respect for Randy and his playing. You got some balls trying out this tune! BRAVO my friend
That's why Ozzy said , he saw " hope " when he heard randy play for the first time .it also always amazed me how much better they sounded live ! Really wish someone else produced/ recorded these albums.
I've always been impressed by people that not only can play their instrument well, but also can learn a new song only by hearing it. It's amazing how fast you find the right tones. To understand what's really is played and how and to repeat that is unother level, so high I can't imagine.
The saddest part about this whole performance by Ozzy is that it is really the only pro shot video that I know of of Randy, and the friggin' camera operators had no idea who they were filming or what they were doing! Why is the camera not locked on Randy during the solos! :D

@@michaelsullivan9342 Randy showed up at Ozzys open tryout with a tiny combo and played Classical music. Everyone else showed up with stacks and tried to rip the frets off. Obviously you know who won out.
It might be that they were asked not to. This was a promotional video and it could be that they were avoiding copy cats
Look up the band called Show - Ya from Japan.
We can only imagine what could have been with Randy had he not passed away so young. He and Eddy were just the best at what they did. RIP to both.
Eddie was a big influence on Randy, and you can hear it from time to time.

the nonchalantness in Randys face as hes melting our faces just reinforces how so far above us he really was.
thinkin about it in comparitive measures cause ur some fuckin garage guitarist will make you never truly appreciate the music. how sad bro

Why is the audience killing the bands and the audience?
Who Robbed Randy's music school?
I think the album is excellent though. Cleaner than this.
pick up the 40th anny remaster version of Blizzard of Ozz. You can really hear him in the mix. Amazing. Randy Rhoads .. you are dearly missed.
You can't control Randy live. I love it!!

"It doesn't sound exactly on key--There's something squirrely" NAILED IT. I love that vibe in this solo!
It sounds a little insane - like Mr. Crowley. The artist captured the story of the song expressed in these solos.

Randy has an early harmonizer pedal on this solo.... sounds good but he didn't really need "technology" like that.... Genius 🎶
Have played this for years..still learning the nuances of Randy's playing. Randy we love you.
Still learning like 40 years later!
That solo is pure poetry . Man RANDY RHOADS has such taste and meter going on. You have been bludgeoned properly.
You've got giant cajones trying to transcribe this on the go. Well done

How about some King's X, or George Lynch?
Yes!
King’s X indeed
I would love to see him do kings x, maybe summerland or something

I’ve now started to take this approach to the songs I know, breaking down what they’re actually doing and trying to understand why. Now I’ve come across this video, reacting to one of my all time favorite pieces. Thank you for making this video.
Right on Daren!
Why is the audience killing the audience and guys on stage these days?
Why did I get punched in the back at a concert?
Why did that guy shoot everyone at a country music concert in las vegas?
Are YOU going to rob Randy's music school too?
Daren, wake-up mate!
This is 2022.
Eric Johnson himself warned you The concept of music has changed.
You don't live on brando island.
You WILL be forced to deal with the changed culture of the world.
We're NOT going to have a 1980's style conversation in 2022.
When you think about how young he was when he passed. He was only getting going but undeniably one of the best guitarists I have ever heard. He had his own unique style
This is an amazing video. Truly. I was a student of Randy's for several years back it the 70s and your explanation and dissection of this solo really does an amazing job of encapsulating his mindset when creating these works of art that we call solos. Randy was a writer. He left nothing to chance and used the years of training he received from his mom in all kinds of instruments to create a style that is truly unlike anyone's to this day. Thank you so much for doing this. It does my heart good to see Randy getting his due after all these years.
Someone who had played with Randy late 70s said he was brilliant but when soloing he had to be well prepared.
Its wonderful to hear from people like yourself who have witnessed Randy. As its mindboggling to have Randys former students post here. I thibk Randy was obviously great but had to take out of LA to get him in right perspective. Thanks for posting
Randy Rhoads growing up was my main influence 30 years later I'm still learning his licks.
Trying to learn them still
My father was a music professor teaching group piano and music theory for over 40 years. He would approve of this video.
Randy Rhoades is incredibly tight on his rhythm which no doubt shows up in his leads. One of those who just makes it look so damn easy.
DUDE! YOU HUNG RIGHT IN THERE! 🤣🤣 I love your playing but I didn't have alot of hope that you could make sense of this when I saw what you were taking on. You're now my favorite guitar player! Well done bro.
You're still not hearing it... Randy was very, very deliberate. He spent so much time in the studio and on his theory way beyond what we hear on the recording the first hundred times... this is the live so he's simplifying as he isn't only double tracking the solo note for note on the album...
Definite dorian, harmonic and melodic minor deviations.
Randy was carving a niche and wanted to sound Bach influenced and develop his sound and style. I think you owe him some more time to actually figure out where he's sending you.
I'm still hearing new things all these years later.
He is mixing in a lot of classical techniques while playing like a rock God.
Man this was such a great study and break down of Randy's solo. It makes a ton of sense as to why it sounds good. Best break down of Randy ever. Thank you. He really was phenomenal.
Actually it was shite. This man knows no musical theory worth a toss.
Wrong.
You really are delusional pete.
You're Obviously hiding from the 2022 audience.
You're not out there breaking down anything, cause you're hiding in here trying to gossip to strangers.
Genius! Beautiful! Bravo! RANDY RHOADS LIVES ON! ❤️🩹❤️🔥❤️🔥
Loved this. As a (non-teacher) guitarist, I appreciate your learning insights. I think about the same way when learning something like this - target notes, cadence, pattern, etc.. Great stuff. I think that look at the end when Ozzy is looking dazed is him realizing how lucky he is to have a band like that simply destroying behind him. This was recorded in a TV studio during their tour, and there are no production values at all - except for clear camera work and audio. Sadly it was one of the few times that band were captured on video in all their glory.
I've recently become the biggest Randy Rhoads fan ever so hearing you explain how he was thinking is just gravy. Bravo!
Thanks u so much for doing some Randy finally. Hands down my favorite guitarist ever. Rock on
His excitement on the outro solo... Me everytime.
I've pulled out countless hairs trying to sort out all the nuances of Randy's playing. He was a true genius.
Randy is my biggest hero, I even had him tattooed on me👍🤘🙏🎸
Something fun with randy is a lot of times when he double tracks he'll change a few select notes to add a 5th or slight bend which on the albums gives it that crazy sound
I'm not a theory buff so I may be using the wrong terms on what I'm trying to say, but basically he changes one track so it sounds sort of dissonant
I've watched that performance of Mr. Crowley literally hundreds of times over the past few years.
I'm not a good guitar player but I watch Randy's playing and hearing what he's doing his classically trained style of playing is still to this day is just ear candy, like a fine culinary chef he knew what tasted delicious to the ear
It's crazy,as a fellow guitarist to watch u respond to everynote "air conductor" as I do..I feel the same exact parts notes and movements as u do.Same feeling of getting blown away and feeling his off color touches to resolve what he hasn't even put down yet..incredible..I for some reason forget his musical pallette is so advanced and incredible.r.i.p
I love how Randy starts the solo in the basic pentatonic but somehow slips out of it into the minor scale. I can’t really do it without sounding like I’m trying to do too much. Great work on the breakdown!
40 + year's later and people are still trying to figure out what Made Randy so amazing and he was a mad genius because of his classical training
Shed a tear watching you enjoy and be amazed with Randy. If only we could have kept him longer.
This was absolutely the right song to do a longer form video. Thank YOU. I loved that you loved this. This song is one of the quintessential guitar songs to me. Outro solo is practically a song by itself. Thanks again.
All 3 solos are.Effing epic track.
Randy Rhoads is the best of the bests! Sorry Hendrix, Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Malmsteen, Slash, Zakk Wylde and others.
Randy was a freaking genius. Such neoclassical mastery.
I can't think of too many people who would attempt to learn RR material in front of others, let alone the internet. It was a noble effort and you clearly know what you're talking about. Well done, sir.
Your reaction is priceless to Randy. I know your pain because everything he did just takes forever to decipher not to mention his solos are devastating. I almost quit playing because of him. I subscribed to your channel. You have really helped. Keep practicing as am I.
Which of you robbed Randy's music school?
Why did the audience shoot dime on stage?
What's your reaction to the audience killing the audience now?
Why does generation Y punch generation X in the back at concerts?
Why does the audience get stabbed going to and from concerts or small shows?
Why does the audience bash audience members to death in the male toilets?
Why doesn't anyone speak to anyone at concerts?
Awesome video!!! Learning Randy on the fly, serrious heavy lifting. What great about this is seeing someone who can play and trial and error... most guitar players dont show the wrong notes you hit to find the right ones...good for you... the best motivation for all of us is knowing nothing comes to us instantly or perfectly... as far as Randy if he had lived... Rudy Sarzo ( who played with Randy in Blizzard of Oz and Quiet Riot) said he thought Randy wiuld have become a classic player and most likely gone back to something he truly loved...teaching. again awesome video. Oh sounds like a harmoizer pedal on the last solo.
Rhoads concept of guitar playing was so far advanced from everybody else back then...and here it is over 40 years later, and they still cant figure out how he was doing this....guy had a rare gift that we'll never see again...
I love how Randy just blows everyone's mind.
Wow, I'm speechless..that was incredible. I've always wanted to learn to play that stuff, you explain things that I could only hear and not know where it's coming from. Your an absolute monster on the guitar!!!
A Randy Rhodes solo. Gotta have some bass in that voice and some brass ones to tackle that. Damn, Michael. Fantastic job, man. Bravo, sir! 👏👏👏🎶🔊✨
🤘🤘
Came across this video, I am a huge Randy Rhoads fan. First heard him in 1981 on my tenth birthday and never looked back!
This is great, and it's really cool to see the looks on your face when you across parts where Randy Rhoads does...what Randy Rhoads Does! lol, He's a legend, my personal all time favorite, but I have to say it was great to watch you figure this song and all the nuances and methods Randy used!
Thanks for reminding everyone how great Randy Rhoads Is!
randy and iommi are so different ... and then dio with sabbath, what a time to be a wearer of the sacred mullet in high school
That was one of my favorite Reacts. Rhoads was such an amazing player.
Yet another song I played regularly when I was 16 that I'd have to shed for while to play now. ;-)
Incredible performance by a 24 year old Randy👑👑👑. Bursting with emotion always gives me goosebumps. Excellent analysis really enjoyed this ❤️
That songs always been a mind blower. You see Ozzy scratching his head at the end of Randy's performance on the solo. Lol.
Dude. Seriously. You have all the skills !! Damn. Even though Randy was insanely impressive, don’t cut yourself short. You are right there in his style. Keep in mind he bled this style and honed his skill to play it fluently. You did him justice !!
You are a legend Michael! I love your content. 🙏
Уверен, что ни один музыкант не сможет никогда и нигде играть на гитаре так, как играл на ней Рэнди Роудс! Rest in Peace. Amen / I am sure that no musician anywhere will ever be able to play the guitar the way Randy Rhoads played it!
Rest In Peace Randy! 🕊🕊🕊
These videos and content are amazing. Thank you!
Struggling to replicate RR master class notes while enthusiastically appreciating his work. I enjoyed every minute of this video. Nice job
I love it... I love you... And I love the way you tear the shit outta these songs and analyze them... This, and the Van Halen formula for hit songs, are by far my favourites. Keep on rocking, brother.
Thanks my friend!!
@@Guitargate and I love the passion that you show in your analyses. Sometimes it's like your mouth can't keep up with the many thoughts you're having on a subject. It's great to see and very inspiring. Oh, and I loved your analysis and explanation of the video where you played with a band, and how you integrated your playing with theirs. Awesome. Keep up the good work.
I agree that Van Halen formula video really blew my mind
It just makes me smile trying to wrap my head around all of these fluid fast runs.... So raw and effortless seemingly
Love his OzzY blown away from his own band members at the end lol
Thank you for the run through this germ Mike I'm not a player myself but there's was 2 string gods in my teens one was Randy the other was and still is Gary Moore hoping you someday have the time to do him and if, that you choose something from his none blues period maybe even coloseum 2 or his instrumental material he was such a versatile player and a lot of people forget that
Thank you for putting in the time to make this video and going through the entire song in such detail. I wouldn't normally watch a 50 minute video but we're talking about Randy Rhoads here! I learned this song (to the best of my ability anyway) from a tab book long long ago but your analysis has given me an entirely new perspective of what Randy is doing and why I love this song so damn much. Closest thing to hearing it for the first time again. Cheers!
You certainly get it. The magic of Randy Rhoads, Rock on!!
Randy was so much better than any other "metal" players in my opinion. His use of inversions and variations were amazing.
Ozzy once said. "Randy's playing is an extension of the guitar. Most guys playing is like an extension of their penis."
Bass player is Rudy Sarzo by the way. Love Randy and Ozzy, this being a long time favorite. Over the Mountain and Flying High Again are pretty epic as well.
Rudy sarzo was only for the speak of the devil tour and record
Rudy was on the usa blizzard ,diary tours.
I know....but not on the recording...bob on bass...lee on drums...just like carmine was on bark at the moon video but tommy did the drumming on the recording and must of the tours...anyway ozzy's band was never a steady band for recordings/live shows and videos....the longest line up was jake/bob/tommy(guitar/bass/drums...and I'm talking about the glory years of ozz
@@davep5647 plus...rudy was also involve with quite riot at that time
Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were only on tour for Blizzard & Diary. Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley were the original drummer & bassist that wrote and recorded with Randy & Ozzy.
Learning this from a live video is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen
I had the privilege of seeing Ozzy and Randy Rhoads at his last concert in Knoxville Tennessee. And I'm from Florida and was on my way back home to go to the show in Florida. When I heard on the radio that he was killed it was the saddest day of my life he was to me the best guitar player ever . R.IP Randy Rhoads gone but never forgotten even close to forty years later he will never be forgotten rip
This is the best video I’ve seen you do. Love it. I love your reaction and complete respect for Randy and his playing. You got some balls trying out this tune! BRAVO my friend
Your commentary puts seeming chaos into order and context...so awesome. Thank you!
It's a 6 minute song, but it takes almost an hour to fully appreciate Randy's playing. That's the magic of Randy Rhoads.
I was lucky enough to see that tour, in 81 or so.
And yeah, Mr.Crowley is all Bach, essentially.
That's why Ozzy said , he saw " hope " when he heard randy play for the first time .it also always amazed me how much better they sounded live ! Really wish someone else produced/ recorded these albums.
and he was drunk out of his mind the first time Randy came in to audition
@@apacheY2K he was always lit back then .lol.
@@onemancarnage he truly rode the crazy train back then, him and keith richards are miraculous specimens of human beings hahaha
You are a great teacher but you are dealing with the master. Every note he composed is lethal.
I STILL GET CHILLS FROM THAT OUTRO SOLO......
I've always been impressed by people that not only can play their instrument well, but also can learn a new song only by hearing it. It's amazing how fast you find the right tones. To understand what's really is played and how and to repeat that is unother level, so high I can't imagine.
No matter how many times I listen to this song I always get goose bumps when he plays the solo
