    I was just getting clean from a crazy drug fueled spell that ranged from the early 70s to about 1980-81 when I first discovered Randy Rhoades. I began playing guitar in the early 60s and became quite good until I was introduced to the drug scene. It wasn't long before I lost my job and began loosing all my music equipment in pawn shops and so on. My first few listens of Randy impressed and inspired me to the max, to clean up my act and get a job and ahold of another guitar and amp. I have continued playing ever since, with no drugs or alcohol involvment. I was thourghly and totally devastated when I heard of Randy's death. A good part of that memory and devastation has lasted in my head all these years.
    I was even shocked too learn later, that I had shared a lunch table at a crowded Burger King with Randy in Hollywood California after he had just turned 16 and I had just turned 18. I had no idea who he was back then.
    I have always wondered what would be if he had not died so young. Randy will always be my main guitar hero until my time comes!!!
    I copy and paste this comment on every good video of Randy I come across.
    Thank you for your time and effort posting this vid!!!

      Ozzy was smiling until he sings the "you have to listen to my words" and when he sang "words", his voice cracked and badly, he got pretty upset about it too, kept rolling but had an upset look on his face. After the solo, Ozzy was pissed at himself and nervously hoping his voice don't give out again. You can see it.

    I've heard a lot of cover bands play Crazy Train, and they were all very talented. Why people like Randy Rhoads deserve so much praise is because of their creative genius. Playing someone else's music is one thing, but writing music is entirely different. No one can ever replace Randy Rhoads.

    I literally ran into Ozzy in 2001, shortly before his reality show started airing. I was leaving work and my office was in the same building as a Philadelphia radio station where he was apparently doing an on-air interview. He and Sharon both graciously stayed and signed autographs for and took pictures with every fan who had gathered and waited for them. How cool is that?!? I wish I had a camera with me. Nobody had camera phones at that time. They were so nice and seemed genuinely flattered over all of the attention.

      @EJ it's clear your passionate about your Ozzy with Randy like we all are and there is no contesting the fact that Rhandy is irreplaceable no dis to Jake E and Zakk both worthy axemen but only because of the success and cult following that the Rhoads Daisley Kerslake Osbourne albums generated that without them those later albums dont exist. All that said your opinion that those first 2 albums were all Randy and that the other musicians could be replaced by equal caliber is just plane wrong, your wrong EJ. And your disrespectful to go on defending your reasoning because its flawed and it's insulting to Daisley and Kerslake and you should realize that and admit it and stop being stubborn and ignorant. Daisly is credited with co writing every single song except Dee as is Ozzy, Is Ozzy interchangeable? I'll answer for you, no he's not, established with no argument neither is Randy. Now are you a musician EJ? have you ever wrote a song or co wrote music and lyrics? when Ozzy connected with Dailsey and Rhoads a bond was formed that led to probably the 2 best back to back first and second albums ever made. Do not disrespect the IRREPLACEABLE work of Daisley and Kerslake, because without them those songs and albums don't exist for us to hear Randy ever play unless you knew about him in the LA club scene with Quiet Riot prior to the Blizzard of OZZ. And dont confuse the fact that they did not tour with the band and were replaced by Rudy and Tommy, for the live performances with uninformed opinion that they could have been replaced by equal caliber at the recordings because the songs DO NOT EXIST without them, all 4 of them and the chemistry that was created by that specific combination of people at that point in time.

Since first hearing Ozzy’s “Blizzard of Oz” solo album, his new guitar player Randy Rhoads had become my guitar hero. I didn't know much about him, nor did I even know what he looked like, because Ozzy's album pictures really didn't distinguish who was who in the band photo. To this point, I had assumed that the dark-haired guy (Rudy) was the guitar player I had recently come to idolize. Anyway, my girlfriend Mindy and our housemate Chris quickly found a way to score some tickets for the show. I figured if we showed up at the arena early enough, we might get a chance to meet the band before the show.
    It was a warm afternoon in Houston when Chris, Mindy and I arrived at the concert hall. We made our way around to the loading dock side of the building to look for tour buses or any other sign of band life. The road crew had already arrived and was setting up the elaborate stage for the “Diary of A Madman” tour. Surprisingly, the atmosphere was very relaxed. We were able to simply walk in and observe at our leisure without anyone hassling us. This went on for the better part of the afternoon.
    As we loitered about the premises, I befriended Randy’s guitar tech. He informed me that
    the band would be showing up around 5pm to do a soundcheck. In the meantime, he invited me
    into a makeshift dressing room to have a look at Randy’s guitars. They were sitting on guitar stands right in front of me. Just feet away from my hands were Randy’s signature cream Les Paul with the snakeskin strap, along with three custom made “V” shaped guitars. His polka-dot V, white pinstripe V and a black one, the latter two sporting the name “Jackson” on the headstocks. At this point, I was not really familiar with his guitars. And this was also long before Jackson Guitars became a household name. Needless to say, I was quite intrigued by them. Luckily, I had the presence of mind to bring a disposable camera with me. I asked the guitar tech if I could take a few pictures of the guitars. He didn’t mind, so I began to snap away. Just as I was photographing the assortment of guitars, a rather large and in charge road manager walked in on me and freaked out. “What the f#$k are you doing in here??? Gimme that efffing camera, those are custom made guitars!” he barked. The guitar tech tried to quell the big fellows concerns, but he would have no part in negotiating any compromise. “Gimme the effing camera if you wanna see the show” he demanded. As a 22 year old punk kid, I was in no position to argue, so I reluctantly gave the Paul Bunion looking troll my stupid camera. The guitar tech apologized for the road managers over-reaction and allowed us all to stay and hang out.
    Like clockwork, the tour bus pulled into the loading dock at 5pm. Tommy Aldridge, Rudy
    Sarzo and Randy Rhoads soon stepped out. Randy was wearing blue jeans, a black pleather jacket with no shirt under it with a white towel draped around his neck. Absent from the group was Ozzy, who apparently didn’t do soundcheck with the rest of the group. I quickly made my way over to who I thought was Randy and asked for an autograph. Slightly unprepared, I only had a small piece of paper that I had found nearby for them to sign. Rudy signed one side of the paper and Randy Rhoads signed the other side. I managed to make some small talk, at first thinking that Rudy was actually Randy. Up to this point, (As I said, I wasn’t entirely sure what Randy actually looked like). “Man, you’re a great guitar player” I said. Rudy looked at me sort of puzzled and pointed me in the direction of the actual Randy Rhoads. Needless to say, I felt like a douche. Randy was very unassuming, soft-spoken and frankly humble. He happily complied with my autograph request. He had to lean the small piece of paper onto the side of the cinder block wall in order to write his signature. He simply wrote, "Randy Rhoads".
    After several minutes, the band disappeared inside the arena and we followed along like lemmings. During their soundcheck, I stood directly in front of Randy Rhoads as the band ran through the song “Mr. Crowley” in its entirety. Randy was playing his cream Les Paul and never sounded better. I was in awe that afternoon, watching this soon to be legend warming up for the impending show right before my eyes. Except for my girlfriend Mindy, Chris and myself, (and a few road-crew guys), there was nobody else in the arena. A few short weeks later, Randy, twenty-five years old, was killed in a plane crash in Leesburg, Florida. I was davestated. His autograph remains framed on my studio wall to this day. Also, a few weeks earlier on March 5th, John Belushi died of a cocaine overdose. You could feel a chill in the psyche of the masses around Houston who had just absorbed the news of both of their untimely deaths. Both tragedies were a stark reminder of my own mortality....Can you imagine what would have been captured on my disposable camera had i been allowed to keep it??? That tour manager did a great disservice to the world. I hope he's reading this! Jeff Dyer - Uncle Sally

    Makes me smile seeing Ozzy smile like that :) They had something really amazing going on...so sad Randy died when he was only 25...can't imagine how talented he would be now if he was still alive. Also think that no one could play this song's solo better than he did. His solo had so much soul and intensity in it, whereas the other guitarists tend to make it more about the technical virtuosity and about them instead of the song as a whole.

    • @Mebucko
      @Mebucko 2 роки тому

      Makes me smile too. And, yes correct nobody could play it the way he does. Zakk Wylde is amazing, but even he played this solo with super fast tapping, using both hands. The video clearly shows Randy playing it hammering with one hand. Although it looks like his right hand is clinched to focus on his left hand, he is actually muting strings for that super clean sound. Took a classical composer to point that out to me.

    I was lucky enough to catch Randy on both of the tours he did before passing.
    As all of the recordings attest, he was freaking fabulous. I had him right up there with EVH. He and Van Halen ushered in the 80's metal era.
    I was bummed when he died. So great, and he hadn't even hit his stride yet. Diary was a rushed album, with little polish on it, and yet his playing is still superb. Imagining what he would've done after that. He may have just ushered in the instrumental stuff, as well, with his not so rock sounding chord choices, odd key choices, and lead work.
    Great stage presence as well.
    He was far better than we all thought.
    And that's saying something, because we all thought he was great.
