Sorry , I’m not hearing Eddie Van Halen in Randy’s Playing , I hear tapping of Randy’s unique neo scales occasionally in solos, that’s It. No Randy’s Knowledge is not Eddie Van Halen . Eddie knew this. Randy was a million miles more than a pentatonic tapping shredder. He did not just choose comfortable shapes and chords so he could play in a comfort zone like most players. Randy learned many uncomfortable guitar scales. And made it look easy. You can hear it in his songs, so much tension , depth, and resolving going on , unlike other players.
lots of Eddy playing in RR , BUT you are right Randy had more to draw on. 2 of the best in metal.
the riffs of playing the bottom of the chords on the D an G strings is pure Eddy, but I will say Eddy was mistaken to say Randy was not doing anything Eddy had not done, there was more classical guitar, more complex solo melody's, we can all hear that. two of the best I say for that type of Rock.
@@rogerdat7807 Randy plays staccato as far back as 1975 live with Quiet Riot at La Valley College. Ozzys band was not his start as you know.
@@rogerdat7807 I think Blackmore got that from. John lord key boards,, he was the first I heard. ten yours after Alvin Lee could do that also, but he stuck to the blues scale for leads
Why did Eddie have to attend every quiet riot show it’s not because he liked the band he like the guitar player install as much as he could from Randy Rhodes Randy Rhodes didn’t even care about Eddie Van Halen he only cares about himself and his own musical journey so shut the fuck up OK leave Randy alone he never bothered anybody and now everybody’s bothering him
The clip of Dimebag playing Randy's solos is indisputably worth the entire watch.
Amen!
Fuckn A Yes!
can u share the clip or link pls
It is in the video, you can watch and make a clip yourself.
Facts!!
I was a guitar student of Randy's for 3 years right up until his last day of teaching before the Ozzy thing started. I saw him play countless times with Quiet Riot and then once with Ozzy at the Long Beach Arena in CA. It's interesting to hear what other players thought about him. To me, you can learn a lot about players by what their opinion is of another musician. Steve Vai, for example, has a reverence for Randy and his playing, as does Kirk Hammett and Zakk Wylde. All amazing musicians in their own right who understood the uniqueness of Randy's gift; his classical influences, his complex chord structures and scale usage. What is sad is the Eddie interview. Randy and Eddie were around at the same time in L.A. They played the same clubs, etc. They were both part of the scene back then. But the idea that Randy was quoted in an interview as saying he took everything he knew from EVH is just ridiculous. To Randy, that would have been a complete betrayal to himself and all the years he spent learning and developing his style. I remember seeing Eddie in the audience at a couple of Quiet Riot shows, but I know for a fact that Randy didn't go to any Van Halen gigs. He just wasn't interested in what other bands at the time were doing. He was focused on his group and getting them signed. And he sure wasn't out trying to cop other players licks. He didn't need to. He was Randy Freaking Rhoads. And if you grew up in LA during the time he was around and playing, that will mean something to you.
Eddie definitely was a arrogant bastard.. in other than their leads. And I'm not a guitar player but what I'm saying is they both shredded to me they didn't sound nothing alike.. only thing I agreed with what he said is that they were f****** off and it cost them their lives. My son was born right there and Leesburg..
Eddie was drunk.
Randy wanted to play guitar more then anything else. He would go find country bars to go sit in & play guitar while on tour with Ozzy. He seemed very humble & down to earth.
@@thenashvillemasterclass5639Exactly
@@mikeys7536 but still- randy never did right handed hammer-ons until Eddie. Nobody did. To say randy didn’t take anything from Eddie is asinine, I don’t care what. But it’s not like randy couldn’t play until he heard Eddie. And talking about Eddie going to see randy- he took nothing randy did. Eddie was an innovator, randy was a classical guitarist. Eddie just shouldn’t have said anything like that. Completely unnecessary and mean spirited
Man, Dimebag blew me away with the "Flying High Again" solo, shoot, all of them! I can tell he really loved Randy.
Diary of A Madman was absolutely brilliant!
And still is. It is an epic composition
Yep, tops eruption in my book
@Tim Whitten I don't know. Almost feels like it's "apples and oranges".
@@cableguyxx It's timeless. Even the filler songs on that album are great.
@@FortessofShred it is, but EVH along with Moore thinking they are king shit pisses me off. Randy has style and class much like Dime, down to earth God rest both of their souls
I’ve been listening to metal/rock for years. I have a thing for guitar players and Randy Rhodes is at the top of the list. Always Randy. No one can hold a candle to him. Miss him still. ❤
As a non-famous guitarist I can tell you Randy Rhoads was a genius - because he understood the importance of holding something back.
Randy will always be my favorite guitarist. One of the few that was completely unique. His music is timeless. Rest In Peace Randy.
@@markdonnelly6921 If Unique means he sounded like Eddie Van Halen then yeah he was unique.
@@rickrecco143 nah, Randy was his own man. He clearly didn't sound like Eddie. Two majorly different players by far
LMAO!
@@rickrecco143 like I said, EVH couldn’t even read music so bullshit
@@rickrecco143 He sounded like Randy.
Randy came from a totally different way of thinking than most rock metal players , he believed the notes you played had to have meaning , not just be played for flash .
That's the difference in his leads compared to others with technical ability.
That is what makes his playing sound fresh whenever you hear it and , that's why his playing never gets old .
So true. Randy was on another level
RR may have copied EVH's technique. But I never heard an EVH solo that matches Flying High Again. Fact is, he surpassed EVH.
He employed the same 3 note chord tapping Eddie did in eruption on parts of that solo , I wouldn't say Randy surpassed Eddie , I would say Randy's playing was more sophisticated.
Eddie went the trick bag rout but, his picking hand was still world class and as good as anybody's in any style of music , his vocabulary was limited by choice .
@@kennopalus Great response. But I have to say, it proves my point.
@@Taylor.Dude.
I always thought " Push Comes To Shove was his most melodic solo .
Well, I'm not famous, but I'll put in my 2 cents. I was around when VH's first album came out and there's no denying Eddie's influence on rock guitar and guitar playing in general. And Eddie's stuff is super fun to play. But I've always felt that Randy's playing, crazy as it is, always made sense. Maybe it's because I'm pretty familiar with music theory. But you can kind of tell that Eddie never had a guitar lesson, and that Randy was obviously very schooled in music. Monster player, likely the first "neo classical shredder", at least in North America. And although it's a shame that he was only able to leave behind such a relatively small body of work, the fact that he's still cited as such a huge influence on so many is a testament to the quality of his songwriting and his incredible technique.
Ya in America, RR was awesome, now go to Paco De Lucía vids and watch his playing, even Steve Vai is a big fan. Paco was insane great!
all we had was his demos, first 2 ozzy stuff and his quiet riot material to go off of.
@@m42037 Paco's probably the greatest flamenco player ever. Randy was completely different so there's no point in comparing.
Rhoad’s solos are perfect not a note can be changed. It’s mind blowing too think what Randy would’ve achieved!
@@m42037
Why would you bring up Paco ? Totally different style of music .
Zak Wilde is spot on - every Randy solo stands out on its own.
JAKE E LEE...great story!!! underrated player...
I've always loved Randy's playing...After seeing this video, I have a new found and deep respect for Dimebag Darrel. Wow!!
Pantera’s bassist Rex Brown said that Blizzard Of Ozz was a huge inspiration on Dime. Apparently Dimebag practically locked himself in his room for an entire month with that album until he learned every riff, lick and solo. When he finally came back out, he was a totally different guitar player. Dimebag always said in interviews that Randy was one of his top 3 favorite guitar players.
Randy is my favorite. Since Blizzard of Ozz. 42 years. George Lynch and Jake are amazing players, two of my favorites. Randy is number one.
Its amazing how good he really was at such a young age just like Hendrix , Huge loss of a wonderful human being and a guitar virtuoso .
Hendrix was way over rated he was not in the same league then Randy ! by the way i have been playing and teaching guitar for 40 years .
Randy might have more basic technically skill. Randy had not yet developed the musical ability that Jimi developed on the chitlin circuit. Randy was fucking headed there, though.
Omg hendrix is so fking overrated
Randy's guitar playing was so much better than anyone in that time frame. He truly was a legend and his time was cut to short.
R.I.P Randy, you truly were the best guitarist in my eyes.
he was an all time great
Randy was better than EVH.
@@shawng149 no lies detected
I was blessed to witness Randy's last performance in Knoxville the night before he died...it had an incredible impact on my life, as I was just beginning to "play" the guitar in 1982. 40 yrs later, I've got my own unique self-taught style, though nothing like RR's style
That’s great you saw his last performance.
@@michaeldiamond76 what?
@@michaeldiamond76 yeah right. Why go thru all the trouble of faking 3 deaths and disrupting a major tour when he couldve just said "I quit"??? Not to mention it's illegal to report 3 deaths without producing 3 corpses...they actually INVESTIGATE plane crashes and fatal accidents!! The authorities ARE NOT going to play along with some kind of "I'm faking my death to avoid fame" scheme! That's as ridiculous as the people that think Paul McCartney died in 1966. The "Randi Rhodes" political commentator you're referring to is NOT the same person who played guitar for Ozzy!
VERY fortunate to seen that, indeed 🤘🔥🤘
Saw him at the Los Angeles Sports Arena 12.31.81.
Randy is one of the greatest Rock composers EVER!!!
I heard that even as great Randy was, he took a guitar lesson in every town he was in while out on tour just to learn something new from a different guitar teacher. Could you imagine getting this random guy requesting a guitar lesson and it's Randy Rhoads showing up as your student. It's hard to say who the best is. It comes down to personal taste and preference but this guy was rock solid. There are so many good guitar players out there past and present but Randy was one of the best.
he was a sponge trying to learn everything he could and yes he would take lessons in each city during the tour.
randy is certainly one of the best and that is based on two albums imagine if he had lived
Over The Mountain is one of my favorite solos.
Eddie and Randy 2 of the best ever! But I feel had Randy lived longer he would have surpassed Eddie and everyone else with his brilliance.
Exactly well said randy was already bringing the heat on eddie
Agreed...Eddie NEVER could get over the fact that Rhoads helped pioneer American HEAVY METAL....EVH wasn't content enough being known as a guitar "God" and havin his own Good Time "HARD Rock band ", evidently.......SMH
No, he wouldn’t have. He would go down like most heavy metal guitarists, great but part of an entire genre.
@@Bellabaddi - Randy was already looking for a way out of Ozzy's band before his passing. He wanted to play more classical music. No way would have he been typecast as solely a "metal" guitarist
Eddie: “everything he did he learned from me “ 🤣. Love Eddie. I personally prefer Eddie over Randy. But Randy certainly didn’t sound like Eddie. Aside from from some tapping and maybe a few legato runs. Randy definitely had his own thing going. Brilliant player.
What’s your appraisal of Randy’s work compared to Eddie’s? I don’t really think it’s a fair comparison, given Randy died so suddenly.
Eddie obviously exaggerated this statement. But it might be true that RR learned his chops copying on Eddie and building upon it. Like every guitarist copies his guitar heroes.
@@johanndaart7326 Nothing wrong with being influenced by your contemporaries.
@@beatlecristian Agreed :)
Eddie's said EVERYONE stole his licks..he said the same about Tom Scholtz ..from Biston
Look at Dimebag at 12:58. He was a child in that video, and absolutely ripping that guitar up. He definitely had that same juice RR did. A true virtuoso at a young age. While Dimebag lived longer than Randy, it's still a damn shame we lost both of these tremendous guitarists. Can you imagine if RR lived longer we'd definitely have footage of them jamming?
RIP to both of them. And may they live on through their indelible mark on music. Great video.
He was killing it on that Axe for sure! Yeah it would have been quite the spectacle to see them shredding alongside each other. It's A thrill anyway to see Dave Murray and Adrian Smith still being the dualists on guitar in Iron Maiden. Oh Sharon doesn't like Bruce Dickinson much though. Had something to do with playing in Ozz Fest. Never saw Ozzy in concert.
Dude was 16 yrs old there.
Truly insane. Miss Dime so damn much. He was and is such and huge inspiration. Would have been awesome to hear them jam together. No doubt.
And yet I don't think his renditions are nowhere near as good as Randy Rhoads - his style is very different, and more about playing the notes with a load of noise, and less about feeling
I'm sure it's a genre thing
@@PaulC39 Sharon is a greedy bitch
A Tribute to Randy Rhodes is one of the greatest albums ever.
This was worth watching just to see Dime playing classic RR songs and solos! They were both so awesome and will be missed! RIP to two legends!
I started playing guitar 🎸 for real after hearing RR, 30 years later I still can't play like him. I still enjoy his songs.
Let's resolve this issue once and for all.
Ozzy Osbourne was Randy Rhoads best singer.
I would have to say lyricist also.
@@richardjohnson4373 Actually, no. Bob Daisley was Randy's best lyricist. Ozzy barely wrote lyrics.
@@Red-mp3to Some days Ozzy barely speaks English
@@wirelessone2986
Neither would you if you'd lived the life he has.
Why do you feel the need to mock a frail old man?
Ozzy wasn't a frail old man in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He was just too wacky the whole time
Randy Is definitely another guy that gives me another burning desire to learn to master the guitar
The solo in Flying High Again was my favorite, not just how awesome Randy played it, but how perfectly it fits with the song.
exactly...you "get" it...most people dont understand that part...
Dimebag Darold was also good, but never got too famous.
@@randallrhoads3271 People also don't get the difference between creating it and copying it.
Absolutely my all time favorite rock players.He WAS DIFFERENT,SPECIAL.humble,gentle,ferocious, go back and listen and watch him.RIP MR.RANDY RHOADS
In the rock and metal community, RR is without a doubt, one of the most influential guitar players of all time. Listeners and fans have their opinions and favorites, but his impact is obvious to anyone paying attention. Love Gary Moore's take on Randy here. And Dime nails a very cool medley!
EVH seems to think he was Randy's only influence. Stylistically, I prefer RR over EVH.
I agree. While I'll be quick to admit EVH has had a much bigger influence on guitar players in general, I've always liked Randy's playing more.
Completely agree, although I often wonder if perhaps Gary Moore thinks a little too highly of himself relative to other great players. But all due respect aside, Eddie was undoubtedly the first to arrive at a new pinnacle after literally Erupting onto the scene in '78. While Randy certainly incorporated some EVH into his technique, his artistry was completely unique and compositionally far and away beyond everyone at the time.
Randy's musical influences extended well beyond Eddie as Kirk so wonderfully noted. I loved that omage he paid to him, what a great piece of perspective. There's actually some insightful commentary from George Lynch on this... Eddie got there first as others were evolving.
One of my biggest questions, knowing that Randy was so incredibly focused on continual Improvement, was what would have happened had he been exposed to the next generation of incredible players, everybody from eclectic players like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, shredders like Marty Friedman with his insane scales to Dimebag Darrell - how do you categorize him? - and all the Next Generation neoclassical players like Yngwie Malmsteen.
If he had been alive to incorporate those lessons into his playing along with his compositional genius and his classical influence you never know what new music we could have been listening to right now...
I just hope he's up there somewhere making that incredible music, playing with all the Masters passed and that I may someday be privileged to hear it...
@@shakebabyhitler I completely agree, but I think that a large part of that was that he was the first to achieve that level of greatness and then had 40 years to continue to build and grow that legend, that's not something that Randy was able to enjoy hence his influence was definitely outshined by Eddie's but that does not diminish him in any way whatsoever
@@Mike-eq4ky For sure. We'd all be having a different conversation if Randy had continued putting out music for another 40 years. In fact, had Gene Simmons decided he liked The Boyz rather than Van Halen, George Lynch could have been the "game changer". Or what if Sony had decided to release Quiet Riot's albums in North America rather than only in Japan? It was all a race to see who would be brought to public attention first. Honestly, I don't think QR's early material was strong enough to put them on the map, but we would have all heard of Randy before we heard of Eddie.
EVH seems to have been swallowed up by his ego in this interview. I've listened to Randy Countless times since 1981
Not once has anything I've heard him play reminded me of EVH.
For me..Randy can be like a floating butterfly in his playing and in a second become Hurricane...I love that
I remember I was about 13 years old and waiting for the concert of Ozzy with Randy coming to our town. The crash happened just a few months before the concert. I had my tickets, and I wish I still had those. They were stolen from me a few years later, dirty thieving bastard. It was a very sad time of the 80's to see a young guitar hero like Randy go so fast. Sometimes a bright light burns the quickest.
I feel your pain my friend . I had tickets to see Randy with Ozzy at the Florida World Music Festival there at the Tangerine bowl Stadium in Orlando and was on my way back from staying the night in Cocoa Beach when I heard on the radio about the crash just up the road from Orlando in Leesburg and can remember feeling so sad and disappointed . and I still went to the show even though Ozzy had to cancel . Pat Travers was living in Orlando at this time and Volunteered to replace Ozzy on the bill without any prior notice just hours before the time he had to go on stage . Which was a really stand up thing for Pat to do . He killed it that evening playing to like 70.000 fans and actually blew away the top headline act of the show Foreigner . but there was just a eery vibe from everyone and I was so bummed out it was like I lost a close family member. I had seen Randy on the Blizzard tour like 6 or 7 months prior to this show and was really really looking forward in seeing Randy live again . He had the strongest stage presence of any musician I have ever seen
Randy. Was. A hurricane. A. Tornado. All the. Above. Left. His. Mark. Like no other. For. The. Little. Time. He was. Here. Case. Closed💫
Agreed 100000%
Saw his last show in Knoxville. Still one of the best performances I've ever seen.
At the time of his tragic death, Randy was fast becoming a superstar. He was the quiet achiever and if he was still alive I don't doubt for one second that Randy would be one of the most complete guitarists on the planet today. It's unfair to compare him with any other guitarist, he was a true musician with his own vision and possessed a wealth of talent. Forever Randy Rhoads! NA1974🇬🇧.
Randy was not only one of the best guitar players the world had seen, he was also a brilliant composer. Listen to diary of a madman if you don’t believe me- the song has some power.
Listen to what Kirk Hammett said specifically about Diary when he was asked if there was one song he wished he'd composed...
@@Mike-eq4ky wishful thinking from him more like. Never in a month of Sunday's could he ever write as tasteful as Randy.
The saying goes, "great artists steal": listen to Leo Brouwer's Study No. 6.
It was actually Ozzy who insisted on using the etudes as Randy was practicing those at the time. He may have used them as influence but he improved the small part that he used and the rest of the song is all his work and phenomenal
Van Halen songs sound like they’re written by a 6th grader.
Total hard rock guitar fanatic. Then this dude showed up. EVH didn't move me like Rand did. RIP Guitar Gods!
The fact that Ozzie had commercial success in North America is what catapulted Randy's song writing abilities. Randy had amazing chops and technique but what set him apart was his love of classical melodies. When you remove the lyrics from; Mr. Crowley or revelation mother earth the composition can still stand, even without the vocal melody.
Good thing, too, because the lyrics were written by Bob Daisley... even Randy laughed at his poor attempt at writing lyrics. But his music was masterful, along with its execution. Beautiful, moving, powerful, emotive beyond most others. A truly masterful composer.
It did nothing to help his abilities. He was going to leave Ozzy because it wasn't challenging for him.
Diary of a Madman was a well thought out song also.
His sense of note placement, rhythm, melody, were perfect. He knew how to keep your attention. He loved guitar, he wanted to become a teacher again and just enjoy giving other people the gift he had. His tone was like a mad violin when he played lead, a bellowing cello when he played rhythm, bells and flutes when he played clean, all pumped full of lightning.
great descriptions. it's all there and more. RR
I think he'd served Ozzie notice that he was quitting the band to work on his classical playing. He was like a Shaolin monk of the guitar!!!
Man! Thanks for posting the Dime/Pantera performance! I hadn't seen it before. Awesome. Eddie sounds so full of himself
Great Video. Randy Rhoads is one of my favorites. Just unfortunate he’s gone. I just love the style Randy plays, it’s always great to hear him play. I would like to believe he’s in a different world still playing guitar at his highest peak he could. R.I.P Randy Rhoads 🎸your memory will always go on and continue to influence me and countless of others .
Tears to my eyes . Dime bag . Kicking ass for Randy. Two legends. R.I.P
YES! Was not expecting to see Dime playing RR in this Vid. Sick. This made my Saturday morning. 🤘😤🤘
Love Randy Rhoads, watching Young Dimebag Darrel Ripping away is awesome as well
Dime was such a sick monster then. Always was though
Yeah that was sick. Dimebag had that same juice randy did. A virtuoso at a young age.
I was lucky to see him on the first tour. He's still one of my favorite guitar players
Randy was his own guitar player not anyone else .. rock and roll / metal … and who can forget “ Dee” classical music for his Mom … GOD !! what we would’ve heard if he had lived … R.I.P. Randy ❤️🩹💐🙏🦋🇨🇦
That Dimebag footage was very cool.
I disagree with Van Halen here. I mean his stuff was certainly more acrobatic and served the songs they were making but Randy's stuff was more beautifully melodic and cohesive to my ear. I preferred Randy's stuff at the time of his death. I remember that. They were both the top of the conversation.
My favorite RR tune was "DEE"....just beautiful. Favorite song was "Mr Crowley". We had tix to see them in S. Florida when the crash happened a few days before. Just floored that he was taken so soon!!!! Such a great talent. I "think" the Pat Travers Band filled in for them, but we never went....saw PTB tons back then.
I always say randy rhoads is the Mozart of guitar
Randy is his own Man. He was amazing. Hands down.
he sounds nothing like anyone else.
The greatest hard rock guitarist ever!
Randy and Ed had been 2 different kind of players. They both had been great, Dime as well. Comparing them is not good at all , they all have something that each other never had.
That's for sure. All geniuses going in different directions. Can you imagine the G3 tour with these guys rotating in?! Heaven.
Never heard nothing bad about Randy, everybody has something to say about Eddie, and not nice
I was fortunate enough to see Randy Rhodes with Ozzy 2x. RIP
Never got to see Randy gosh one of the greatest regrets but my favorite song is Diary of a Madman
Dime was rippin! Love it. That’s how to scorch ears and roast brain cells. RIP Randy & Dime.
And he was barely fucking 18 in that clip.
Randy’s solos in Ozzy’s band were a lot more structured than the average VH solo. Randy started to fuse classical elements in his work.
I agree. I'm supersized that Eddie couldn't see that side of Randy. All I could here from Eddie is he didn't do anything that I didn't do. Randy did a lot that Eddie didn't do.
Definitely more structured and more coordinated and creative than EVH. Beats any EVH solos. Panama is my favorite EVH solo and its not even close to Randy's top 8.
@@davesaenz3732
I give Eddie a lot credit for his tone. That set him apart more than the tapping. After the debut VH album, everyone was tapping.
Too bad Dimebag Darold didn't get more famous. He can play.
thanks dimebag, watching one of my most respected guitarists of all time,
covering my favorite guitarist of all time
the fact that u know not only the notes, but the feelings of the notes
you too man, god speed
thank you for carrying the torch
Randy Rhodes was my favorite guitarist. RIP
I wish we could have gotten as many studio albums from Randy as we got from Van Halen.
Randy Rhoads was the best guitar player of all times just listen but Eddie had his own way. Not saying he was bad. He was good rest in peace, Randy Rhoads he was the best.
For such a short meteoric time.
RR still cast a long shadow over the guitar world.
Let that sink in.
A master!!
I seen the Brad Gillis version it was like in 82 I think, and I couldn't get over how dead on he was on playing Randy's licks, he really kicked some ass!!
smart to learn the songs as the master wrote them
Brad Gills did a great job, considering the short time he had to whip up a solution for the masters work. RANDY RHOADS
@@ericsivilla4091 absolutely did an A league job
Killer video ! Thanks
Love the dimebag & evh interviews
Pretty hi praise
I play and have recorded all of my randy favorites, but top of the list in my book are- over the mountian and Believer. Both are unique and I love all the little pre chorus and mini bridges, chord progressions, many fills and of course the solos. I have two guy's higher than Eddie, Randy and Vito Bratta.
Love the Vito Bratta reference! He's still among my favorites. I love melodic guitar players and Vito and Randy are/were just that. But Randy is, by far, my all time favorite.
RANDY RHOADS RULES
I am jealous that I wasn’t born early enough to be in the LA scene during those awesome 70’s guitar battles between Randy, George and Eddie. Those kids that got to see these guitarist shred all over LA were spoiled to be a part of it.
1 of the BEST, hands down
One thing that you can only say about Randy that you can't say about all the other guitarists, Randy gave his life to save his friends. He fought with the suicidal pilot Andrew Aycock . Randy saved Ozzy, Sharon, Rudy and Tommy that morning. That's something to consider when discussing the late, great Randy Rhoads.
that is one theory per Rudy for sure and no issue with that narrative
I've never heard this.
This should be entitled famous guitar players on themselves they talked more about themselves than they did Randy that says a lot
Yeah, Eddie kept turning the conversation back to himself.
Not the first time. Him and Jimmy Paige had an incident also.
Both are awesome guitarist. Much respect
what can I say there are Millions of guitar player but Only One RANDY, music would not be where it is without him.
When randy was in quiet Riot he was a pretty good guitar player " but when he hooked up with ozzy " it's hard to explain " this thing " this magic enters his soul " I think the fact of him joining ozzy" the famous singer from black sabbath " and going over to England to record had a very profound effect on Randy's level of musicianship " he already had the knowledge and the skills " and ozzy this bigger than life rockstar was able to coax this magic out of Randy's soul " the stuff randy was laying down on the first two records!! Well were still talking about it to this day
Ozzy didn't contribute much to the writing on those first two albums. They were written primarily by Lee Kerslake, Bob Daisley and Rhoads.
Chemistry is real.
It was the fact that he was paired up with Daisley and Kerslake. Who were seasoned veterans. They helped Randy elevate his game
@@HeavyJ713 absolutely that's a very good point " those guys were seasoned pros and randy's rythm section " and I'm sure they helped put him at ease" and musically they would open doors for randy to explore " like I said randy was a very good guitarist in "Quiet riot" but dam his playing level and creativity was like day and night on the ozzy records"" sorry to keep blabin" Brad Gillis a pretty good guitarist in his own right" when he stepped in for randy that was very amazing to pull that off" theres some footage of him doing his solo work on the ozzy tour" and that's something thats a must see" but I've never heard him ever sound that amazing again " kinda the same thing with Jake e lee ,"bark at the moon" ect
@@HeavyJ713 I read Daisley's book, 'For Facts Sake', he couldn't say enough good things about Rhoads.
No matter how you disect it, Randy's solos were just far more memorable than 99% of other players. Even when playing technically demanding stuff, he made it sing. Watching Dime playing Randy's stuff, he's hitting the notes, but the guitar isn't really singing. Same with others when they play Randy's stuff.
Dime's earlier Tribute video STILL, has/had ta be one of the BEST sounding one I have heard though EVEN compared to Zack n others "own styles" blended IN (so ta speak). But YES, you are correct...Rhoads made the guitar SING!!! 🤘🔥🤘
As a guitarist I differentiate Randy and EVH Randy was a METAL guitarist and EVH is a ROCK guitarist. I personally love Randy more, but who cares they’re both gone now and we’ll never get guitar players like them. Sad, but they both impacted the industry in ways no others have. Every guitar player knows who they are, and THAT is what we call legacy, baby! Both are amazing and that’s that!
Very good vid!
I just Love going back and Remembering getting to see Randy Rhodes with Ozzy and that Awesome Band Tommy Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo I went to see them in January of 82 about a month and a half after was that Horrible Day finding out what happened I was Down I Would Love listening to Revelation Mother Earth going straight into Steal Away I was just watching an Interview that was real recently with one of my Greatest Musician Triumph was So Incredible and Rik Emmett is an Amazing Guitarist and Singer Wow! Since 1977 I have gotten go see well I am within just a couple concerts of having gone to see 700 concerts and mostly Guitar Driven Rock Bands I saw Triumph 9 times and also about 3 solo shows in the interview the interviewer asked Rik Emmett about playing the US Festival One of the times I saw Triumph they had just played the US Festival and in Dallas Tx for 10 years from 1978 to 1988 I got to go to 9 Texxas Jams and Triumph was playing during the day and Sammy Hagar one of my other Greatest Rock Musicians so Rik Emmett is talking about how Triumph was picked to play on the Heavy Metal Day at US and they were talking about how Triumph fitted in Steve The Apple Computer co and was Rich beyond even thinking about was a Triumph Fan and Triumph was Nearly Perfect that day as they were 2 weeks later in Texas actually they were The Best that day Scorpions were Amazing as well so Rik Talks about another Really Heavy Metal even more so with Motor Head was one of Headlining Bands and Ozzy was there that day and Randy Rhodes was still alive and Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge and Rik said he saw them play and Rik Emmett says the Best Band he ever saw was Ozzy’s Band and I had thought about how Incredible that Band was the 3 of those Guys Randy Rudy and Tommy were a Perfect match up and I thought what Rik said was So Cool because he is Unbelievable and Such a Humble Funny Nice Guys after the crash that killed Randy one of the Popular Rock magazine from back in that time I don’t remember if it was Circus Rock Magazine or Hit Prader did a Very Cool Tribute to Randy Rhodes and several pages dedicated and every Guitar Player that was A Great Player on their own merits and several Players said some of The Most Awesome things about Randy Rhodes every Amazing Guitarist gave Randy Praise I had that magazine for years and Always thought about some of my other Very Favorite Guitar Players Neal Schon is Really At the Top of my List of Amazing Players seeing as many concerts that I saw I have been Blessed to say I have seen every one I wanted I still go to as many Concerts each year that I can get to That is my Passion seeing Bands Live Performances is hands down the Best way to see your Favorite Bands I was at the Perfect timing to be a teenager going through from around mid 70s through the 80s was The Greatest Era of Music Ever they label it Classic Rock I will take that I just Wish there had been put together Carefully A Real True RRHOF that Horrible Mess of what really is a Rolling Stone Magazine Awards of their Best Favorite Bands so Crappie these Amazing Incredible Musicians and Bands and that magazine Rolling Stone Magazine is not Really a Rock Music Magazine and through all The Years of especially Rock Bands from that late 70s through early 80s that magazine I Believe is Jealous of Bands Took to damn long to induct Journey and the ones that still have not been mentioned but you have all these Rapp Bands Bestiee Boys it’s Horrible and Musicians who have given us their whole lives and I know that there should not be any question let them celebrate it while their alive this joke of a committee that decides something that is suppose to be the Magical Place to dedicate Rock Bands I am such a Rock Music and anything I see I still get excited when I saw this video I Love it and if that Rock Hall had been put together with a Very Careful place to go I would not go even though I can’t believe they did Honor Randy Rhodes and there are several Bands I would be Happy to go across country for but that Debacle what ever it is I would not want a dime to support this Rolling Stones magazine awards hall !

Thank You for posting video and yeah so sorry for rambling but what a Great Subject Randy Rhodes!
I've seen Randy Rhoads at the Knoxville concert the last concert that He ever done. My very 1st concert that I've ever seen live The concert was great and he was wonderful.
Randy was a very different player to Eddie. There is really no similarity and if you heard them on the radio you would know instantly who was who. Both unique to themselves
Agree and was really turned off by Eddie's need to pay himself on the back. The whole world was patting him on the back that's what happens when your iconic, no need to toot your own horn at that level of greatness
Randy shreds.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
and YES...RANDY ONE OF A KIND..!!...
Eddie Van Halen: "Oh that poor guy."
Also EVH: "He copied me."
Sure there's the odd tapping lick here and there, but most of Randy's solos remind me of Jimmy Page more than EVH.
just goes to show was an egomanic Eddie was back then. I don't recall him ever having anything nice to say about any other player back in the day. He obviously mellowed some with age, but back then he all about himself.
Eddie was kind of a dick talking about Randy I think Eddie was jealous cause Randy would have been better had he lived
@@AlexRodriguez-hl1vuwhat he did in basically 2 years... Is kind of like what Hendrix did. Was here for a moment, and influenced SO many. But hey... Eddie did that too when he first started. First year out and he influenced generations. Neither of them were slouches. I enjoy them both. I can only imagine where Randy would have gone today... How many places, how many genres? Where would he be at? Would he have gotten heavier...? Darker?
Or became a classical guru? Would he have started his own band? Hmmmmmm
I don’t think he was coping evh randy was just a great guitar player period Eddie was probably worried about Randy and I love Eddie
the difference between EVH and RR is that Randy Rhoads stuff is actually still good and doesn't sound out dated. Randy had soul, Eddy didn't. Eddy just hit a bunch of notes
And what type of dope you smoking to say Ed had no soul and is outdated , apparently you have no knowledge of guitar 🎸
You obviously don't play guitar. It's actually quite the opposite. Eddie was pure soul and feeling and an infinitely better and more complicated rhythm player
@Darren Jones I play guitar. That has nothing to do with an opinion though. Givin Eddie was faster, and more technical player. What I'm saying is that EVH as a whole band sounds outdated now, while blizzard of Oz and diary of a madman you can still listen to today and it sounds good
You gotta put on the song Amsterdam and crank that MF to 10!
Eddie's riffs and rhythm playing have always been his strong suits.
His solos are nothing to turn your nose up at but his fire lies in other areas!
Randy's music was better. Period.
With respect... Can we just let them R.I.P... they were both great two different styles... Let it rest.. truth is no matter how good someone plays you will only replicate what they already did... Just be original that is how you will make guitar legend history.🤘
Backyard parties with quiet riot, and Randy Rhoads. I will never Forget his playing. 5 feet away from him Always made it exciting
Randy Rhoads is why we have Jackson guitars...
Randy was and is still irreplaceable
all time A leaguer
Seen Randy once w Ozzy on the Blizzard tour 81.i was 16.still blown away!
Wow....i remember 'this era' like it was yesterday....
Sab fan since the ST in '70. I was 13.
Bought everything to Vol IV as new releases then sorta gave up.
A good friend bought everything, including H&H. It was great !
Seemed like weeks later, i get a RS mag in the mail. Glowing review of Blizzard....knew nothing of Randy Rhoads or anything but hopped into my car, this after work on a weeknight and drove to the nearest record to buy this.
Did and RS was right. It was awesome !
man, He and Gary Moore were friends. Mr Crowley is a knod to Parissene Walkways,,,,i know...
He apparently asked Gary for advice about joining.
Randy's solos take you on a journey, and just when you think you know where it's going, it goes in another direction. Randy could teach a master class on phrasing and stringing patterns together. Another thing that set Randy apart from his contemporaries was how clean his playing was. He was the complete package and was a huge influence on the neo classical metal genre, along with Yngwie.
do not put Yngwie in a sentence with Randy, Randy was a better songwriter and did not recycle the same riff to play solos on
Randy was the game changer, Yngwie really brought nothing new except blazing speed.
That was cold what Ozzy did to George. Its tough being a musician.
It's tough working in a factory
Sharron did it because of of his hair cut, she wanted a rock star image and Jorge cut his hair for a day job. it was not his playing of course
@@DANTHETUBEMAN yeah, I heard or read it was the short hair too. Back then hair mattered, haha. I remember nobody paid any attention to short haired dudes in heavy bands, in fact, nobody even wanted to f*ck with any of em if there was a short haired dude in the band. I think Metal Church had that issue in the early 80s. They didn’t have that “look”. It’s fucked up, especially being they were brutal. Lynch is one of the best ever. F*ck his hair l3ngth, geesh
It's amazing hearing some of these greats referring to Randy..up in the sky, Rockin out with Bonham...Burton etc
...and now, so many of them are up there, joint of them!
It's a crazy part of life, Living long enough to see a whole generation die off.
Either you'll live to see it...or you'll die young yourself.
FK knows how I never died young... I'm serious! If you knew half the shit I've done...it'd make slash & Nikki Sixx & Keef look like teetotalers..
It's even crazier to think that Randy has dead nearly twice as long as he lived for. And we still remember him. That is some wonderful legacy to aspire to...
At least I heard of RANDY RHODES!!!😎😎😎
Happy heavenly Birthday Randy 🙏✨💜🎶 Slightly belated as it was yesterday. Wish you were here!
Eddie was a trick player. Randy was a blue collar working class player. I remember the first time I heard crazy train. It was a life changing event for me. I had heard Van Halen, but it didn't move me like Randy's playing did.
maybe it was the acid ?
What was really sad as well was Kevin DuBrow got to see Randy be successful with Ozzy, but Randy did not get to see DuBrow be successful with Quiet Riot. I Googled this earlier and Blizzard of Oz sold 6 million copies. Metal Health sold 10 million copies. So I figure this is what happened, Randy was a way better fit for what Ozzy wanted to do and Carlos Cavazo was a better fit for what Quiet Riot wanted to do. What is cool though is that both guys found their perfect spot however short it may have been.
I Saw Randy Play on 12-31-81 LA sports arena LA CA man Randy was beyond awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘 he passed away four Days after My birthday I just turned 15 year's old and I was just heartbroken and I'll Never forget that day of hearing about his passing!

Randy Rhoads was the most inspirational guitar player of my time. I had many favorites YNGWIE JASON BECKER PAUL GILBERT Satriani VAI and many of those guys that really influence me but Rhoads was the guy I found a lot of inspiration. Its crazy to say this but Rhoads was way ahead of his time.
Randy never said he learned everything from EVH ...He never even went to see EVH live ,But Dave and Eddie did go see Randy play live
It was sweet of Eddie to find a way to memorialize himself when speaking about a dead guitar player.
for real. lost a lot of respect for him there. started off by blaming the deaths on them fckning around because hes clearly a pilot himself and was there.. and then spends the rest of the time stroking his ego.
I dig Eddy’s playing but I hands down love Randy his playing is out of this world
