First of all I just want to say thank you sir. This documentary was solid and very informative and hands down I loved it thank you for sharing some information about your brother. I remember seeing your brother play with Ozzy Osbourne before 1982 I was born and raised in San Francisco 1962. So I was fortunate to see a lot of classic rock and roll. But yes nothing like it was in the 70s 80s and early 90s / let's not forget the sixties or the 50s carrying the anyways thank you so much God bless stay safe. Again very very very informative informative. Just my opinion Joe Dirt west rim Arizona Arizona
And besides the great history of your late brother and yourself. You are providing life life lessons that can be applied to anything you do in life. Hands down brother thank you. Again Joe Dirt west rim Arizona
Well, there was supposed to be a Randy Documentary to be released, but if I remember all the online chatter and gossip correctly, it was either full of inaccurate information ( 100% unauthorized by Delores Rhoads ) about Randy, and/or something to do with who was getting paid if it turned a profit. Again, I'm just going by my memory here, not trying to be an expert on the subject :)
Spawn a legion of guitar players ! Never more true words ever spoken . Your family is so talented thank you so much for this video it cheered me up and made me sad all at the same time
What an interview...The 7:20 mark gave me chills...thank you for posting. RiP Randy. Kelle, I hope I can make it to Musconia and meet you one day. Thank you for your stories...this stuff keeps us Randy fan going on a daily basis...
Fortnite enough to have finally met the Rhoads family. Kathy is a sweetheart and Kelle is one cool cat. Unfortunately, I missed Mrs Rhoads by one year. But still an honor to meet the siblings and other family and friends.. Bless them all...
This family is so beyond talented and gifted as well as limitless there is not much Kelle and his brother randy and sister and mother didn’t accomplish! Randy and his brother Kelle have always been a huge inspiration for me. Would kill to be able to just sit down and listen to more of this mans stories. So genuine and humble because he’s been there and done that
This guy is a phenomenal person, great story and life experiences by sharing this with everyone,A great person ,his sister and his mom plus his brother ,the greatest guitarist ever of them all. Tyvm !
Hey Kelle miss you and your Mom.She was a wonderful teacher. I am just honored for the time I got to spend with her and the Piano. Great interview! : )
An amazing interview. I wish Kelle was my older brother, he's so full of wisdom! Thank you for posting this interview!! I want to get the books on Randy that he mentioned 🤗🎶💖
What an incredible story and valuable advice for those of us who just can't leave music alone. Loving to play music is the greatest gift I have ever been given. It's the sanctuary in my life.
You nailed it! Music has been my sanctuary and dungeon at different times in my life. I am not gifted with strings. I seem to do much better with sticks in my hands. I have tried a few times to leave it alone and somehow can't. Now at 52 yrs young, I have a group of brothers who all grew up together. We are writing some cool songs now! Rock on brutha!
Woww ! I clicked on this because it came on my feed after watching some Tommy Aldridge videos . Yes I'm a drummer. This guy like his little brother is on a whole other level . Every aspiring rock musician should watch this . I just learned a whole shitload of stuff and I'm 54 . L.L. Randy Rhoades
Have to say I enjoyed this talk throughout, and as a writer, I must say that "Portraits of Oblivion" is an epic title, whether it be that of a music piece, written work, or an art piece.
Kelle, an amazing recall of your family, yourself, and Randy. Your words created a vivid imagine as though you were telling a story of something that just happen yesterday. I agree with one of the other comments, your story would be amazing if reproduced on film.
This glimpse,this intimate look into Randy's life brings a sort of peace to my heart . In 1981-82, I was going through a terribly traumatic time ,not to go on about it but I was literally imprisoned and tortured in some very sick ways as a boy . The ONE THING I was allowed as a possession in my room was a tape player and I had one tape; Diary of a Madman. The haunted lyrics and revealing emotional display in Ozzy's lyrics assured me that my horrific journey was not one of solitude and the combined works of both albums were a relief a cleansing ,if you will but the places that Randy's works were able to take me ... elevated my soul,his guitar playing allowed me to glimpse at the heaven and somehow ascend beyond the MADMAN part of my existence and grip on to POSSIBLE and answered prayers. Kelle,if you see this message somehow, I want you and your family to know that your beautiful soul of a brother , literally saved a desperate young man and allowed me to transcend and believe that there was something majestic and beautiful to live for skating on the edge of the madness and dark . It is because of Randy and Ozzy's gifts that I have been allowed to become the rather "prolific" writer and creator that I have. I express my gratitude today ,to your beautiful mother for embracing and encouraging the gift of music. Thank you Kelle Rhoads for sharing this moment with your family . Scott Marker
i have been a musisian since i was 7. my parents played in a country band and thats how we made ends meet. the lead guitarist was a music shool teacher. his name was mike keys. but my mother wished fir me too play banjo, even tho i was already playing gernan bass in school orch. she was a bass player then. today at 75 she stil plays in malls. ive been playing guitar since then. mike- was a classical guitarist. i learnd the greatness of this music. i always wanted- to play like him. then- metal happened 80s. whille my entjre school was headbangin, i was invomved in rehearsal every night. today..although i feel a failure. Randy - has- opened folks minds to- yes. rock. but the most important: classical. thr most wonderfull beutifull music.
I met Kelle, and Kathy Rhoads at Randy's 30th memorial, at his cemetery in San Bernardino. Kelle is a funny, cool guy. I had pictures taken with him, and he told the same leper joke, at least 3 times. I would like to go to mrs. Rhoads' school again. When I met her there in 1997, she wasn't giving tours. I set up the meeting, and myself and 3 brothers sat with Mrs. Rhoads for 45 minutes. We sat with Delores in the foyer, I think it's called. The big room where she conducted the orchestra decades ago. Kelle gives tours of the school now. I will go back for that!!
Kelly, you are a good man! I couldn't even imagine what it would be like, to be the brother of Randy Rhoads!? Your whole family has had a pretty amazing life! I think your music is awesome!! And your piano playing is amazing!! You're definitely a Rhoads!!! I really dig that piece you did, with the blues soloing in there by your brother... frick'n awesome!! Keep up the good work man... ✌️🥴💨☮️
The entire Rhoads family seems to be genuine, humble, modest people. I'm not embarrassed to say that when I first started my "Randy Worship" as a teenager in the early '80s, Randy's humility and true passion for the craft of guitar on a deep, Human level was as much of an inspiration to me as Randy's untouchable riffs and sophisticated musicianship. God Bless you Randall William Rhoads 🎸💜
seems to me that old saying comes back hey the good die young he was a shinning light there is no doubt about that something we can all aspire to be fortunately such angels touch down briefly to teach us and become a beacon and guiding light to be the best we can be whilst we are still here forever in my ears and heart I felt the passion he had for music as I listened as a teenager to Ozzy beautiful soul Rand Rhodes you'll live forever ! @@1970borntorun
great interview, i got to meet Kelle last August when i came to the Musonia, he had taken a horrible fall the night before, and was using a cane, but he was a complete trooper and still did the tour. He could not have been more gracious with his time, gave me an hour and I had to run otherwise I could have chewed his ear off for hours.
Steve Sunnarborg was my guitar teacher for years, he's a badass dude.. Really patient and always answered my questions about randy. Seeing him in the 80's is hilarious though. Thanks for giving him a shoutout Kelle!
God bless you and your family . Your brother is the single reason I learned guitar at 11-12 years old . I didn't know any chords but I could rip out crazy train and suicide solution . 30 years later and I'm still learning stuff from randy that I pick up now with more understanding and better ear
Kelly that was so inspiring man he said some really incredible things that really inspired me to continue my path I grew up in the Berry in the early 70s my dad used to play with members of Santana in Journey he wrote Latin music put out a name for him self with a few hit songs in the Latin music world but I grew up listening to rock and most of my friends are a big Randy Rhoads fans and all the rest of the great players and I just kept buying album after album of bands like UFO maiden and used to go to the rock band clubs Berkeley California watching Metallica play at Ruthies all those bands that were thrash metal and listening to all kinds of other sorts of music of course here I am 55 years old there seem to put my identity and enjoying my course as we speak I want to say God bless man because you really took me on a ride with your history
I'll never forget walking into school and finding out from my friends first thing in the morning that Randy had been killed, I was in 9th grade and had tickets for the tour only a few months later..devastated.
This guy imparts a lot of wisdoms based on his life experiences and music business. However talented you are as a musician, there is something that you can learn from Kelly Rhoads.
Thanks Kell.. that's why I didn't join music industry because I knew u had to literally F# your way to top, no $$ in alternative music plus being a Christian wouldn't survive.. Your brother blew my mind within minutes by my Uncle showing me his skills. GOD BLESS your courageous mother surviving single parenthood & music school.. ❤ 🇭🇲
Goog Randy Rhoads house. It is the only house he lived in. In one pic, his VW Scirocco is in the driveway and it says it sat there from 1982 till 2010. It is now in garage and Kelle and sis still own the unoccupied house. But that was 2010
Wow great interview....for those guitar nuts who want to know everything Randy played and how....08:13. Look at the pedal in the lower left hand corner =p
Good interview. I wish Kelle could be more known in his own right. He is clearly a very talented man himself. I am glad he decided to follow his heart and do classical music. Randy didn't get that dream and prehaps Kelle though about that to when decided to go classical. What a great legacy the whole Rhoads have. Their music school have created many talented.Delores was such a great force for her children and other talents ❤❤🙏. One thing i wish Kelle had left out was the mastrubation thing .I don't wanne have that pic in my head 😅🥴
"I've met all the shittiest people in my life through the music business. It is the largest cauldron of snakes you'll ever find. We were raised in a Christian background, and I can tell you my brother and I as well have been absolutely appalled on a constant basis of the depravity associated with the music business." AMEN.
I remember in an interview Ozzy did a few years after Randy's tragic death, he said, and I'm paraphrasing, that he didn't think for one minute Randy would be playing with Ozzy mainly because he wanted to play classical guitar.
Your brother may overshadow you but I believe that your talented in your own way!! I have seen your live videos!! It’s strange how life works out..your a great singer it was the songs from the group were bad...YOU WERE WITH THE WRONG BAND !!! DONT GIVE UP !!! YOUR REALLY GOOD,

Great interview. Why there is not a movie about Randy and the whole Rhoads family is beyond me!

A movie should be made of Randy Rhoads and his family. They seem very humble and down to earth. His mom seemed so sweet. GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
@@1970borntorun there should be a movie. But done the right way. A account of his life and how he changed music .
Sharon probably wont allow any of his music with Ozzy. She probably thinks she owns all of the rights to Randy too.
@@AchillesWrath1 as far as the music he did with Ozzy, she does own it.

The Rhodes family would make great role models for many gifted individuals.
That was enthralling. RIP Randy

Great guy! 👍
The Billy Carter of the Rhoads family....
exactly...couldn't quite put my finger on it...thanx
I wonder where Scott the teacher is nowadays?
First three minutes of the video and the thought that popped into my head was "What is the antonym of the word 'humble'"
Wow Kelle is a wise man..
Goog Randy Rhoads house. It is the only house he lived in. In one pic, his VW Scirocco is in the driveway and it says it sat there from 1982 till 2010. It is now in garage and Kelle and sis still own the unoccupied house. But that was 2010
