Randy was one of a kind, others may play like him but no one will ever sound like him or have his creativity. Rest in peace man with the platinum fingers.
He wouldn’t have been the musician he is an was if he didn’t imitate. All the greats did the same thing. I just loved how he incorporated the classical sound into hard rock and metal! I liked it cuz everybody else put way to much blues into it. Not that I don’t mind it but it ran its course. I had heard he wanted to quit Ozzy and didn’t styles like reggae an stuff. It would be great if he was still alive and to be able to hear what other magic he would’ve brought to music! PEACE!
Mind you this was around the time cd's were introduced, but older material wasn't available yet, I found this on vinyl shortly after Randy's passing. The record store didn't know it was a collector, and had it for an insanely low price. I must've had a shit eatin' grin on my face, because when I got to the counter the guy asked if it was one of the collector albums & I confirmed, he looked at the price & said, "well it's already marked, so I've got to sell it to you for that price." Still have it. 😁
Finally figured this one out. So many key changes haha, god damn Randy. This was most likely an element of what Rudy was talking about Randy's "modal mixtures" through interviews. And just his good knowledge of music theory in general.
I grew up in the south bay area outside of LA....I was about 14 and freshman in high school when this song came out. This was pretty big local hit cuz they were locals... there was a radio station...besides KMET and KLOS that played this song all the time....KWST.....And this HOT Asian girl with long straight black hair used to wear dolphin shorts every day...she sits next to me in one of my classes.. used to wear VANs with Quiet Riot written in big black letters on around the rubber sole.....so I was like.. I better learn about this Quiet Riot shit...…….so I went to the record store....a little place in Gardena that sold imports and found this album...…… I bought it on the spot...….and that was my "in" with her...…...I never banged her...she was a Quiet Riot groupie...but she loved Randy Rhoads and used to go to the shows.....so he probably banged her...…..then jump forward to 1980..... Me and my buddy hear that Ozzy has a new band and we hear this Crazy Train song on the radio... i'm like who in the FUCK is that guitar player!!!...….we go to the record store, BIG BENS, to buy the new Ozzy shit cuz that was happening back then...… I turn the album cover over and there he is...….this Randy Rhoads guy...… I'm like hey ….that the guy from Quiet Riot......the rest is history...……..I still have this album...….Its one of my prize possessions. Long Live Randy Rhoads!!!!!!!
Cool story. Sorry you didn’t get to bang that hot Asian chick. I didn’t know about this song until the other release on metal health. Cool you got to hear them several years earlier.
Amazing that the producers, record execs, etc. didn't see what a fucking brilliant guitarist Randy was. So many people missed it...except Dana Strum and Ozzy. Ozzy saw exactly what Randy was: a rocket ready to take off. Also, like Tom Zatuat said, you don't need ears to be a talent scout, you need eyes. The fact that the QR shows were always packed should have gotten them signed just for that.
Most of their first two albums lacked direction. However, the songs that rocked, rocked good. And this is one of them. This, and Killer girls. Also, Laughing Gas. Randy's technique was ahead of quite a number of guitarists in highly professional bands. An all-time great, for sure.
Randy like JFK were made legendary in their deaths. Randy was fantastic but some people think he had super powers. He got taken by Ozzy and his Yoko Ono. The first of many.
I'd be more comfortable with them in the Lady Bruins volleyball locker. But anyhow. Randy is the king of guitar effects without much effects pedals and medium gain.
Rode up to school late blasting Quiet Riot out my shitty '04 saturn almost every day. Barely passed but it was fun getting looks from the people within earshot (which was everyone)
I was lucky enough to catch this on Metalshop in March of 1984, probably on the second anniversary of his death. It was part of a Randy Rhoads special. This was heard on 93.3 KDKB in the Phoenix area.
I thank god that quiet riot never made it big?? If they had with randy, there would have never been a blizzard of oz, dam if they did, randy would still be alive. Dam that star gate. Bah hum bug
@Pitt Stainz LMAO!!! NAME ANY Motley Crue song that sounds similar!!!! Crue do not have ANY harmony driven songs like QR. VERY different bands. Look...give it a rest already!!! You were trying to make a wise crack...probably based on their LOOK...and NOT their sound...got it. Give it up.....
Yes it does and i agree, Randy's guitar playing sizzles and not only this song but the whole entire album, it brings back my High School senior year memories(1978-79).
@@JokersWild70 -- No way...it lacks energy the Metal Health version had. Of course Randy was amazing but Carlos wasn't no slouch. He was top notch! Plus Frankie Banali is way better than the hack on this track.
no disrespect to the legendary Rhoads but I like Carlos' playing better on this song, and the original version better overall... I don't care what anyone says! Grew up on this stuff. Quiet Riot is too often overlooked and forgotten. They were the first band I liked that my parents hated, so they were my favorites for that alone!
@@mostevokish and in my opinion Randy hadn’t come up with the sound yet that he did with Ozzy that made Randy a legend! I agree that the version of this song that Quiet Riot did later was better!
It's an apples-and-oranges comparison. There were two incarnations of Quiet Riot: this incarnation was influenced more by '70s glam rock. The later incarnation was influenced by the rise of hair metal that arose from the wake of Van Halen. That incarnation is reflected in the harder sound of that version of SBC.
Quiet Riot was the Sunset Strip band that broke out first. I was already into British metal but this helped pull heavy metal up from the underground, for better or worse.
Actually, Rudy played on "Slick Black Cadillac", "Thunderbird" and a few others on Metal Health, so that statement isn't accurate. Chuck Wright did play on the song "Metal Health" and "Cum on Feel the Noize", plus a couple others.
In their early days, it's said they covered a lot of Slade songs in their concerts. Before Metal Health, they were essentially a Slade cover band stateside
@Ram777Ment I love Carlos' playing but I love Randy even more, and this bass intro was left out, as well as the honking, so that majorly took away from the song.
Somewhere along the way, I lost my copy of this album. It was okay, but this was pretty much the best song on it. A bit funky intro. I just never got what was behind the very feminine dressed rock stars in the locker room with 4 football players?
Randy playing with his micro timing on the echoplex. You’ll never quite capture his sound because his tech was sliding the knobs live. From 12mms -32 mms. Genius, a hero true legend. He sits above the mantle on the cross.
i guess the album was supposed to be called second and ten. a football reference plus second album and ten songs. although, it only ended up with nine songs. and the japanese record company didn't get the football reference so they named it quiet riot two. but the album cover remained.
In my opinion,Randy wasnt shit and was going nowhere till he met Bob Daisly who taught and gave Randy the chance to explore himself and be himself. If it weren't for Bob and Lee ,two veterans who understood creativity, Rhoades wouldnt exist. Bob and lee kerslake were the reson Ozzy existsand Randy by default
Randy's playing is more technical than what Carlos did, don't get me wrong he did a good job. Randy didn't use as many power chords, to me note or notes beat power chords. just my personal opinion.
I always hated this song but this is my first time hearing this version. It’s no where near as over produced and shitty. It even has a corny kind of charm
I love Randys playing but if he would have stayed with QR we people outside L.A. Wouldnt have heard of him. Sorry to say but I find their material being nothing special. Sure it brings wonderful memoriers to the people who were in LA area in their teens late 70s and we have few nicely shot videos of them playing live. But thank god for Ozzy taking Randy out of LA. Sure thing he also died after all because of that but if not we wouldnt have withnessed his true potential of which he didnt reach for its highest peak
Kevin, put some bass in your voice for crying out loud sound like a girl. Rudy, what in the name if red spandex in 1973? U thought Sharon made you do that? Izat Drew? I dunno. Randy, don't get on that plane. Just Dont.
