I really don't think it was terrible at all, never now back then he was probably trying to push those amps to the limit and that's what he got, it was probably hard to get the sustain he wanted then also try to pull a tone out of a maxed out eq, so he probably stuck with that tone because playing live he didn't have to hit the strings twice as hard live, especially playing that fast you need all the sustain and then some
@@LPWSzzz You misunderstand. He was not only a great musician but also a great bandmate and team player. The reason why you can hear the bass, drums, and vocals so clearly on his albums is because he worked on his tone to make it what it is. He never intended on it to be heard without the band.
@@CasketLife He crafted his tone to balance out the band. That's why you can clearly hear the bass, drums, and vocals. It's also why it doesn't sound very good on its own.
i totally agree! his tone sounds very... how to say it... closer to glam metal than heavy metal. it's almost like a bon jovi tone. such a massive massive departure from black sabbath tone, and definitely way "thinner" compared to the thrash metal tone / rectifier tone that was gaining popularity at the time. diary of a madman was released in 1981 ride the lightning was released in 1984 and yet, RTL's tone was just SO massive it makes randy's tone sound like single coils.
Chills
This sounds good. Keep going!
i think it fills in more and in my opinion i think it sounds better

Randy Rhoads had terrible tone on his own but he sounded great in the mix.
