RandyRhoads blessed he came from a family. That was blessed in music. What a nice young man was taken too soon and his whole family Loved him dearly. Those were the best times of my life watching Randy and thank you Delores.😊🙏❤️
Thank you Ms. Rhoades for blessing all of us with your son and his amazing skill! I can definitely understand where Randy got his humbleness from. Thank you again Delores and Randy you will live on forever!
I was fortunate and old enough to have seen Randy during his first album with Ozzie. I remember sleeping out for the tickets and was able to score 4th row right in front of Randy. I was so totally blown away that the memory is still fresh in my mind through all these years. I also remember hearing on the radio about the accident and heard Randy had died, I remember not sleeping for a few days and was very sad about the news. R.I.P. Mr. Rhoads you are still missed, always copied but never duplicated.
@Justin Ford I am aware of that statement, but you are your own worse critic, but on the flipside many well known past and present guitarist including EVH who admits to copying others as well, and who also idolize RR in return. Just like EVH they both are often copied and never duplicated. Personally I always thought EVH was overrated anyway, I can think of better but its subjective opinion anyway.
@Justin Ford huum that interview ur talking about was done on audio and it's in 3 small clips but Randy said. "for example. I do a solo live u know like evh stuff and it kills me to do that, it's just flash and the kids it impresses them..and I'm trying to make a name as fast as i can.. I wish I could come up with something nobody's ever done before" I'm sure these short. bits are on here. John Stix theres 3 that I heard.. he doesn't in these short bits say Eddies great...but he has said Eddie's great, elsewhere, Eddie says "Randy was good but only after he said that everything Randy did he learned from me" which is bullshit. Randy was a full-time music teacher at his mom's school. he taught 8 or more hours a day,. if that don't make u a great guitarist then idk what will. he could go against any player, but Randy didn't have the killer instinct in him. he talked about others more than just him in the few interviews he gave I play guitar bass and drums, Randy as a person inspired me from day 1... anyhow if u can't find the interview clips, there not big, I could send them to ya....it's so nice to hear his voice again...he was 25 in those clips, he turned 25 in Dec 1981 and died March 19, 1982.. so these were done really before he died 3 months later. sad... ah I just checked on yt and I can't find them.,there all maybe 2mins each. Randy also said evh was fantastic during the Feb 82 guitar clinic he was a part of....that's here on youtube I have several copies of him being in guitar world put away with my RR collection...but anyhow, Randy lives on.
First of all thank you Mr. Jeff for sharing this footage of Ms. Delores Rhoads. I've always been a huge fan of Mr. Randy Rhoads because of his Guitar Mastery. When it comes to melody with a Guitar no one comes close to his talent. His speed and style stands out among all Guitarist. To me Randy Rhoads has set a bar that has not been achieved or broken by anyone thus far.
He definitely had his own style! I can absolutely hear anything that would could play, and immediately identify it. Listen to "SATO", which, IMO, shows so many of his styles all in one song. The rhythm guitar underneath the verses is insane, the guitar itself at the breaks, his solo goes for more than the normal "middle eight" and the trem use says to me that he must have used either his Sandoval polka dot V or the white Jackson "Concorde." HIs sound is very heavy and distorted, but so clean I can hear the individual strings being hit during a chord. It's hard to describe.
@wildcatter63 Oh, he absolutely started out looking like Ronson and definitely admired him. Once he started wearing the leather, that kind of went away. He also was a Leslie West, Ritchie Blackmore, and Michael Schenker fan. IMO, Randy eclipsed Schenker though, which is good, because music and techniques should keep evolving.
@wildcatter63 That sounds about what I've heard too. Randy in his Quiet Riot days absolutely was the splitting image of Ronson. Also why he chose his Alpine White LP because of Mick's. They both definitely had the same mannerisms that is eerie. Kind of like Bon Scott and Phil Mogg of UFO share a lot of similarities on stage that I don't think were intentional, although they were friends. I would've loved to have seen what Randy could've done with an extra 5 years.
@wildcatter63 LMAO. That was his girlfriend Jodi's idea. QR was trying to have different characters. Rudy Sarzo wore a fringed outfit and cowboy boots, lol. Ozzy thought Randy was gay when he first met him, which he wasn't, but he was definitely glam and I guess the women ate it up. He definitely had some kind of aura about him for sure.
@@exposedition6999 Absolutely correct, although Randy did get the tapping from Eddie and said so. Although that came from Randy teaching his students who wanted to learn "Eruption".
I was an instant fan the first time I dropped the needle on the Blizzard of Ozz album when it came out. I guess it's a lucky thing Sharron wanted another album so they could stay on the road or we may not have had D.O.A.M... For a record that was kind of rushed, it sounds like perfection to me! I wish he could have had more time. He was here for such a short time!! 1982 had only just begun. But Randy still made it into the Hall of Fame. I hope we can see some good live footage before I pass. Miss you Randy...
MISS YOU AUNT DEE XXX 🎸🎀🎸 We use to hang at the STARWOOD IT WAS A GREAT TIME AND I TALKED TO KELLY A WHILE BACK HES DOING GOOD I AND I AM ON THE OUTTERBANKS PART OF THE WORLD RHOADS LIVES 🎸🎀🎸
Randy saved my life, though he didn't know it. He showed me that music is such a profoundly deep art that it truly warrants a life-time of study, and that changed everything for me. Knowing that Randy was a virtuoso guitarist, successful touring musician, composer and teacher, one would be forgiven for expecting him to continue along that trajectory and yet he wanted more than anything to continue his music education. That really got my attention as a young man. Now that I'm older, I can see how right Randy was. One can never learn everything about music, it is a game without a master. Of course, thanks to Randy I still play the game. Had it not been for his sage advice, I know that I wouldn't still be on this 40 year deep dive into the mysteries of both western european classical music, Indian classical music and jazz. I moved away from playing rock pretty quickly when still a teenager to devote my time to studying classical and jazz guitar at a nearby university in emulation of Randy and so my entire adult life has been informed by this wonderful human being. I can't imagine my life without him. All I can say is God bless the Rhoads family! Peace Love and Much Happiness to You!
@@zoobly3 thank you for ypur kind words npt a gay goes by i dont think of hom and hos jokes and Jodiy she was a super sweet one Miss my Aunt Dee Bunches all the time i temember paint the fench of you eant guitar case L O L SHE WAS SOMETHONG NOTING SHORT PF A SPECIAL ANGEL LOVE TO YHEM AND KELLY AND KATHY AND ALL THE GREAT FROENDS BACK THEN WHAT A TIME IT WAS 🎸🎀🎸 WE LIVE 🎸🤘✌
Anne Rhoads I’m guessing that you are related to Randy? If it wasn’t for him I would have never played guitar 🎸. I’ve learned many of his songs note for note. I studied his style for years. He was truly a master of his own class on the fretboard. God bless you.
If he stayed a teacher and never joined Ozzy he may still be alive today, but the world would never have those 1st two incredible Blizzard of Ozz records.
I hate to bring this up but, it's on my mind a LOT. Being Randy was so good at writing, the way Bob Daisley is, I often wonder if he would have been dumped on and stolen from, the way Bob has been.
I don’t think so, I think Ozzy wouldn’t have let Randy go anywhere. Randy was too popular as well, Ozzy would have lost many fans if he dared cut Randy loose.
@@frozendivots1564 what if randy wanted to leave and ozzy saw this as an opportunity for more limelight since he'd be losing randy anyway, just a random thought. Ozzy wouldnt be nearly as popular without randy imo
@wildcatter63 You don't think Ozzy's various guitar players and writing partners were shit on by the Osbourne machine. I suppose maybe you too can get in line.
@wildcatter63 That's not what I am speaking of. I am talking about people like Jake E Lee. Who, after Randy died, filled that role with Ozzy Osbourne band. Jake flew to England, spent months in the studio writing a record. When the record was completed. Sharon then gave him his "Contract" which was NO WHERE NEAR what they had agreed upon. In fact, till this day, Jake has received ZERO credit or monetary payment for that record. Then there's Bob Daisley, among MANY MANY others. Who have been fucked over by the Osbourne Camp. That is what I was speaking of... I simply wonder if they would have fucked over Randy. The way they have fucked over MANY OTHERS.
Randy was warning up, Ozzy heard him warming up, didn't even do a demo and he got the job with Ozzy, lovely lady, funny when she mentioned asking to meet Ozzy when he was standing right there
randy what a phenominal, guitarist , i bought blizzard of ozz when it came out on 8 track, i had a little player, i remember hearing him for the first time, what a cool mom to have , i play music gets me through life, r.i.p. randy loved all your playing !
RIP Delores. I spoke with her on the phone I believe in either late 2005 or early 2006. and my boss paid the long distance call over an hour long to California which was like ok, nobody asked me about it ...haha from NB Canada to California .which is the other side of North America for me. hahaha I got the number for musonia from Randy's girlfriend Jan I believe it was....my job at the time required alot of long distance calls, ha so I said huum I'm calling Randy Rhoads mom and I got to tell her what Randy meant to me, and she just was pleasant to talk too. she thanked me, when I told her where I was from. new Brunswick Canada... anyhow I talked to Kelle most of the call and he gave me insights about Randy I never knew... Kelly garni Randy's close friend people were raising money for him so he wouldn't have to sell his personal Randy Rhoads stuff cuz he was going on hard times or something.. . I think was medical stuff related...so he put a certain cd out and only a hundred people got a copy of it and it's like Randy jamming with one of his friends which could be Kelly I'm not sure I don't remember but I think I'm number 53 on the 100 I had donated $50 to Kelly so he wouldn't have to sell his personal Randy Rhoads stuff when I told Kelle this, he said they must be running out of wine or beer over there that's why he wants money.,...or something and I was like this is Randy Rhoads brother and Kelly garni has been a big part of Randy Rhoads life and It kind of took me aback but I suppose I just chalked it up to I didn't know them like they knew each other but yeah he made that point about the drinking and that was kind of I didn't know there was any kind of animosity but like just him commenting saying that, kind of threw me off a little bit but we moved on and had a great conversation together it was awesome. I don't believe I told this story to anyone in print..but vocally I mentioned it a few times, I didn't want to start something but Kelle was serious telling me this....his words not mine. does anybody know if the Rhoads family has the Les Paul black beauty that Randy posed with in his last real photo session? plus his 1981 best new talent award??
@@JonCurryIsolatedGuitarist Well that's confusing. Unless she misspoke. I can't imagine she feels fortunate that Randy's gone. Maybe I'm misunderstanding
If it wasn’t tapping as fast as possible, EVH didn’t like it. But I call BS on EVH, he was smart enough to know better...I think. And Eddie thinks he invented tapping, he didn’t...
WRONG!! Eddie saw Randy play in Quiet Riot in the mid 70's and was blown away by Randy's playing. As for tapping, Eddie never claimed to be the originator of that style, he only perfected it. I've seen a few things on UA-cam that validate what I'm saying.
@@michaelsinn16 no go listen to van halen talking about Randy after his death he claimed he copied everything from him and undermined his success, im sure he changed that mindset when he got older but he was definitely an egotistical person
What a great account of Randy’s history by none other than his wonderful mom!
May they both rip god bless

This recoding is a national treasure.

That’s the best part of being old nowadays. We experienced the golden age of guitar. We were and are lucky.

Saw him in Uniondale 1981. The reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.
