I took guitar lessons from Randy at Musonia and always remember walking through the white picket fence and up those red brick steps. Mrs. Rhodes was always so gracious and Randy was an amazing teacher but you had better practiced for your lesson because he knew immediately if you didn’t! Wonderful family and great memories!
That is freaking cool !! I’ve played guitar for 40 years , damn what a dream !
how would you say he was as a teacher
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Great question…Randy was very passionate about ensuring his students progressed to higher levels of musical aptitude and achievement yet also had the rare quality of being able to teach every aspect of the guitar like a finely trained neurosurgeon. He always was able to break down his insanely gifted technical ability to a level that made you want to strive to get better every week.
@@jamesmadison6650 I have some amazing memories and didn’t realize at the time how fortunate I was to not only learn from one of the greatest legends ever but experience the humility and kindness of a genuinely sincere human being that cared about his students just like family! Randy may you and your Mom always rest in peace and thank you for all the lives you touched.
Do you still play? and or can we hear some? 🤔
My friend and I flew from Boston to LA for the first anniversary of Randy's passing in 1983. We were 17 and just decided to do it. We went to Musonia the day before and met Mrs. Rhoads. She was such a wonderful lady. Gave us a tour and gave us the address of the cemetery in San Bernadino. She also gave us her home address and home phone number. I still have the Musonia stationary that she wrote it on. I met his family and friends the next day. I've taken my sons to the cemetery on later anniversaries. His brother and sister are also wonderful people who are very protective of their brother's legacy. They truly appreciate Randy's fans and are happy to give their time to talk. Just a great family.
I finally made the trek to the Musonia in 2021m saw the grave in 2018 I highly recommend it. I am sure the first anniversary of his death was huge, though I think that had the original grave that was defaced by losers.
I hear good things about Mrs Rhoads and Randy's fans
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle the only people thereon the first anniversary was his family, his girlfriend, Jody, a couple of his friends who I have met on subsequent anniversaries and a couple of fans, one of whom gave me and my friend a ride back to LA and I just saw again last year at the 2022 anniversary. I have a picture of everyone in front of the mausoleum.
Did you meet ‘Kim’ I forget his last name? Kim was one of Randy’s best friends during early days. Kim was manager at starving students moving company ‘how I met him’. His top desk drawer was filled with Kodak Polaroids from 70s. Kim was hippy dude older than Randy. I never heard Randy’s sister or brother mention ‘Kims’ name. Kim had the best pictures of Randy. Those guys were decked out back then hair down waist. The image was ‘the Sweet’ Gawdy image’ similar to ‘(Angel’s band) punky meadows etc
@@DannyHood-j I've met Kim a few times when going put for the anniversary. A real nice guy.
Is it Kim McNair you’re thinking of?
Randy changed my life the first moment I heard him. It hit me like a bolt of lightning, and I instantly knew what to do with my life. Thank you Randy for sharing your gifts with us, and making the world a better place through your music.
Amen
have not yet recoved from hearing the into of I DOn't Know.....the screeching he put on the songs has never been duplicated. I can see why Crazy Train scared Steve Vai.
@@1wickedgroove all time A leaguer
I believe if Randy was still a, live this many years later today I truly believe the best guitarist ever not yngwie malmsteen , this from is from the metal misiah as I & my call myself think you for allowing me to post this Randy Rhoades is always a live in my heart and soul
Same here. Sweetly said btw. The moment I dropped the needle on Blizzard Of Ozz for the first time everything changed.
I just can't get enough Randy. I listened to entire Diary album last night and his outro solo on "tonight" still gives me the chills 40+ years later. That outro will forever be etched note for note in my brain for the rest of my life.
my buddy plays in a and with Jimmy Degrasso, and jimmy requested he learn Over the Mountain. My buddy is more of an EVH guy though he has Rhoads in his top 3, but he says after learning that song, he was stunned at how brilliant it is and the nuances he was able to add in such little time, they had 3-4 weeks to write, rehearse and record the album.
@Dave Wight tell your buddy you can't go wrong with King Edward. I'm a huge fan of them both along with Jimmy Page. It's just so tragic with what happened to Randy, he was just 25 and getting started. Imagine what a huge catalog of the great Randy we'd have if it wasn't for that fateful day.
@@wolfpack9958 we were all robbed, my buddy is an EVH apologist...so it is good he is learning Rhoads songs..
The outro solo on "Tonight" is my favorite. It's like a synopsis of Randy's short career how it fades out and you want it to keep going to hear more of it and then it's gone. I met his brother at Musonia and mentioned this and he said that solo has another two plus minutes on the tape. What I'd give to hear it.
@@bobkeenan2907 sad metaphor , but true
Thanks to Kelle and Kathy for sharing your memories of our beloved Randy. Forever in our hearts !
just when I thought I had heard all of the interbviews, this one was really refreshing and new
Randy's brother literally lives a couple house's away from a good friend of mine and he's always telling him stories about Randy!
Our Randy.........
Finally! The truth about everything is out for people to understand. I was one of Randy’s “friends”. I met him most Thursdays for lunch at a little Mexican restaurant across the street. I took lessons from him but mostly at his house so he could just charge me $5 if I had it! I did spend a bit of time at Musonia. I can shed some light on the George Lynch thing. I took one lesson from him and I guess I wasn’t good enough for him because he was pretty rude to me, which is weird because I was friends with George’s bass player and drummer, so he kinda knew me. Unfortunately I never got to meet Randy’s siblings but I did hear a lot about them, mostly Kelle. I would love to meet them someday. It’s strange because I was in Delores’s house every single Wed. anyway thanks for the article. Made me happy to read it. For the record, Randy was a very nice, funny, sarcastic guy and we got along very well. I still miss him every day. Sorry about the long ramble here. Peace.
here is the question, if you were friends with Randy, how did you not meet his siblings especially if you came ot the house for lessons.
George seems like a guy who can be abrasive. And he seems somewhat bitter that he lost out on so many gigs that could have taken him higher than Dokken. But George did really well on his own right but he was never going to be in the Ed or Randy echelon
You should just go to the Musonia Kelle gives tours.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle I’ve been to Musonia more times than I can count. As for not meeting his siblings, don’t know what to say. They just were not around,ever. The house was always empty except me and Randy in the living room. It’s possible Kelle was there at times but i never saw him. I don’t know what else to tell you about that. I don’t BS so I’m not gonna make something up. They just weren’t there.
Today is December 6, 2023. This day would have been Randy Rhodes' 67th birthday. That would be quite a respectable age. if it weren't for that damn plane.
Long live Rendy RHOADS 🤘🤘
Rendy RHOADS in harts ❤fans forever !!!!!
I remember the first time I heard Crazy Train on the radio....I rode my bike to the record store as fast as I could!
Randy was a huge influence and an Idol still to this day. RIP Legend
I still had the article about Randys death in Rolling Stone magazine until I I moved about 5 years ago, It got lost in the move can't find it.
the first exposure I had to Randy;s music was actually through Brad Gillis on a live simulacast in 1982 from Irvine , the show that was used on MTV.
I fell in love with it, and went to buy BOO, and I remember an older kid seeing me go through the albums and told me: you watch and see, Ozzy will never ever be able to replace Randy...
I had no idea who Randy was then. And of course, the older kid was never more prophetic.
The opening of I Don't Know just ripped through me
Kelle (real name was Doug back then) was my first drum teacher in 1966, when I was 12 as we lived on the same street, Tiara, as Musonia. I joined Mrs. Rhoads orchestra along with Randy at some point. I believe I was the first female drummer in her orchestra. Years later, Nick Menza was in my band before Kelle joined forces with him. Same members, Nick, John Goodwin and Darwin Ballard. It's in the Nick Menza book. Why has there never been a documentary about Randy put together by Kelle and Kathy?
What a terrific interview. Thank you for sharing this. I know a lot of people like to pick either RR or EVH, but I still celebrate both guitarists wizardry and I miss them both.
this is on of the best interviews I have heard with the family and an eye opener on how shady the director was on licensing video
They were both amazing guitarists in there own rights. And the impact each one had on the way future guitar players were about to rule the stages of the world.. And those same styles and techniques of EVH and R.R. are still amazing and brand new to the Ear's of the upcoming generation of 6 string rockers.👍🇺🇸
@@C.Brown5150 what a time to be alive
Agreed. Randy would have blown everyone’s minds with his work.
He already did. He blew my mind!
@@classicalguitarbasics7437 imagine if that mind blowing doubled or tripled he is becoming a transcendent household name in metal
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle He already IS a transcendent household name. No serious hard rock fan doesn't know about Randy Rhoads.
Fantastic interview! Glad to see Musonia is still going.
Randy was mind blowing to me (like so many others) as a kid. The older I get, the more I go back and listen to everything I've heard 1000 times already. Nearly every time I listen to something Randy played again, I end up hearing something I've never heard before. It's just incredible.
he is an all time A leaguer no doubt, my buddy is learning Over the Mountain for his band, and he says it is a brilliant guitar song
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle I have a friends band who plays that. Everyone in the band says it's so much fun.
Man I remember when I first heard Randy. He was so explosive and his tone was amazing. He was not EVH to be sure but he was a stellar guitar player and he made a huge impact in a very short time. RIP RR!
he was not EVH he was better, no one ever sounded like Randy before or since, he was even better as a live player two albums made a huge impact.
Ha ha short . Very good
@@brucedickinson12 I have some eggs.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle I agree 💯
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
kathy and kelly are good people who have respected randy's legacy 1000%..i dig how kelly is not hesitant to speak the truth of whats really going on with people takeing liberties they are not entitled to do ..i dig the school is a landmark there and so much talented people who have passed thru that door :)
ask him about the Osbournes if you tour the Musonia...you will get some truth
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle oh yeah ..we all got some gripes about those two ...especially ozzy's ole lady ..she is not respected by many in the bizness .. those two did some very low down dirty things to many people ..because they thought they had the advantage ...
Just to think that this was 42 or so years ago.... Randy's legacy lives on!
March 19th, 1982. It's coming up on 41 years.
Peace.
because the music is grea,t more people are getting exposed to it and the bootlegs on youtube are helping
For years you have been documenting some incredible information! Your questions are not the standard crap, that is how we get such gold from your research and interviews. 👍🤘🙌
Greg C!!! Thank you!!!
I love Eddie and Randy! Now both Guitar God can jam together in Heaven!
One of the most revealing interviews ever!So many twists and versions of his story,it’s very nice to hear from his actual family.Thank you guys for doing this,we will never forget Randy!
This is so awesome, thank you so much for this!! I was finally able to travel from Canada to L.A. recently to visit Musconia and Kathy's wine tasting room to meet Kathy and Kelle. For a Rhoads fan, it's very much like making the pilgrimage to Mecca!
Randy changed & inspired many ,many musicians. Such a great talent taken to early.
he absolutely helped change the game in metal for use adding versatility
I clearly remember the first time I heard Crazy Train. The DJ said here's the new release from former Black Sabbath front man Ozzy Osbourne. The bass intro starts, and then this guitar comes in. It stunned me. I had already heard Van Halen a couple of years earlier, but something about Randy's playing just connected with me. I knew right then for sure that I wanted to be a musician.
should have said" a new release from this great new band that is going to change metal and oh ya it is led by the former vocalist of Black Sabbath.
Randy was playing at a different level, and the scary thing is his playing got better over the year by the time he recorded his masterpiece Diary of a Madman with Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake
Great interview. I am sure this has been said many times before but Randy was truly my main influence and the reason I picked up a guitar. I still love it to this day, play daily and enjoy it so much. Special thanks to Kathy and Kelle for giving us all a little more info about Randy that many fans may have not been aware of. 😀
millions were influenced by this guy, my buddy just texted me saying his drummer wants them to play Over the Mountain and he said it is simply genius songwriting....
My birthday 50 years ago was just another party to play at in Burbank California, where Randy Brooke grew up. I went to school with him but to have him play at my 16th birthday party epic as fuck thank you very much.
SUCH A HONOR MEETING, RANDY RHOADS PLUS SEEING HIS TALENT IN REAL TIME !!
FOREVER MY #1 TALENT BEYOND TODAY'S AND PASSED TALENTS !! MANY GREATS, BUT ONLY ONE RANDY RHOADS !!
he is an all time A leaguer
I saw RANDY RHODES in concert with OZZIE! I stood 10 ft. away from the stage!! THE CONCERT WAS AWESOME and "RANDY" blew the AUDIENCE AWAY!! We'd listened 2 the album of course... but when we saw him LIVE, TOOK it 2 A WHOLE OTHER LEVEL!! MOST PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE were there 2 see RANDY!! EVERYBODY knew there was SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL ABOUT HIM!! Yeah... there were comparisons to and arguments regarding EDDIE VAN HALEN, but his STYLE was VASTLY DIFFERENT!! "RANDY" STARTED A NEW STYLE AND APPROACH 2 ELECTRIC GUITAR!! He was a FORCE OF LIFE and MUZIK!!
Ozzy and Randy had chemistry on stage , two personalities that were very different but came together on stage to create some great moments.
Randy was the guy people started coming to see once word was getting out
What an excellent interview. I didn’t want it to end!!!!
Good to hear from the Rhoads themselves! I wish they would do more interviews but I understand how devastating it is to loose a close family member. I hope they are doing better at the school since that horrible theft situation. Hope they have good cams and alarms. I think one of the best things Kelle Rhoads has ever said was "The music industry is a cesspool." Randy was in too deep in the end and wanted to go home. The road will do that to ya.
This channel is amazing. Thank you FIB. Getting all the backstories on all of my favorite’s, just makes the songs that much better. So cool.
!!!!!
Great interview. Thank you! Kathy and Kelle were a great listen. Randy's music was a life changer.
Can someone please explain to me in simple terms, where the hell are Randy Rhoads royalties from the many millions of Ozzy album sales? Randy had no wife or children so i'm assuming his money went to the his family but i don't see them living the life of luxury like Ozzy and the Witch.
Good question! You know everyone gets screwed in business by the oz and his cuckwifeboss.
it goes to the Estate, so there is a rumor, that Darth Hideous tried to forge a contract changing payouts so more came back to the osbournes. However, she did not know Randy sent the original to Mama Rhoads who lawyered the hell up.
They stabbed Bob and Lee in the back too
You answered your own question 😉
Sharon!!!!!!!!!
Sharon "slicked" the Rhoads family...who to this day are kinda star struck with the Osbournes. Im sure Randys estate does see some money, but not what he was probably owed. Again, the Rhoads family just kind of goes along with what ever Sharon and Ozzy decide to do...many many times Sharon has put the kabosh on anybody trying to use the songs from BLIZZARD and DIARY....they own the publishing rights flat out, its called "BLIZZARD MUSIC LTD"....and Ozzy and Sharon own it outright.
Another great discussion…best interviewer in the business
I can actually get behind that comment
Thanks for the upload of family ✌️
I read an interview in a guitar magazine that Randy said he did feel a little pressure from EVHs guitar playing and that it made him a little insecure and the Solomon over the mountain is Eddie influenced.
And he said part of his insecurity about EVH made him work even harder on diary ,the solos and double tracking everything.
Love them both .
I also agree that they were both different. And sadly Randy left us too soon.
I've read in an old rare guitar magazine interview he would do part of Edward's Eruption solo just to show he could easily play it whenever he did his solo piece in Ozzy's concerts .
Great interview. I love information about Randy.
Wow. Amazing interview. Absolutely the best stuff like this on YT. Thank you!
Incredible interview. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare and organize this.
Great interview and so cool of Kathy and Kelle sharing their perspectives and stories of Randy back then and what they thought he would have ended up doing. Many thanks to the 3 of you. 👏👍👍👍
VERY COOL MUCH LOVE TO THE FAMILY
Hey Full in Bloom! One of your best posts ever man. Thnx! 🤘😬🤘
the guy does really good interviews
Great interview!! Thank you!!
Given the fact that Randy continually sought lessons with any guitar teacher who could teach him something new, you have to think he would have only become better and better. What a terrible loss his death was for music.
as MAx Norman said, the difference in his playing and songwriting from BOO to DOAM was night and day. and BOO is a great album. Randy was a musician's musician, he wanted to get better and learn more he was not complacent thinking he had made it, and only need to play everyday to keep up his chops. He wanted to add to his arsenal
Great interview. What a amazing musical family.Thanks for sharing all your memories of Randy.Long Live Randy Rhoads!!🤘
there is no doubt this page hit a home run with that interview
Thank you so much for this REFERESHING breath of air interview! Very interesting hearing perspective of those that were around stars than just from the stars themselves.🤟
that was an awesome interview
I like how the brother is so honest about some things.
you should go to the musonia his brother is a straight shooter, he may even let in on how he feels about the Osbournes which is good.
Absolutely fantastic interview
Thank you
I thought he nailed it.....grand slam style
One of your most fascinating videos, thank you!🫡💯
I think every long term Randy Rhoads fan watches this and thinks this is fresh and new and we learned something....I mean it was well done I look forward to part II
Back in High School (79-83) we used to smoke weed in the alley behind the auto mechanics shop before class and me and my friends would always bring a tape recording of whatever was newest on the air. One of my best friends showed up one morning with a live recording of Ozzy Osborne that was broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour and that was my introduction to Randy Rhoads, and it blew my mind. First Eddie and now this guy. Two truly great players that had huge influences on my career. Sad that Randy left us so soon. I honestly believe he would have moved on to an even higher level of playing if he had lived. He was truly gifted..
I remember recording a show called Supegroups, which was connected to the King Biscuit Flower hour, the the announcer said it was from Indianapolis, Indiana which I do not think was right, but I could not believe , as great as the studio songs were. how much better he sounded live
Nice work! Heard some things I didn't know already. Thank you.
yes it was good even for long time RHoads fans
Very cool man! Great job getting the family involved and getting that real perspective on things. Thanks for the content!
I think even for long time Rhoads fans it was very fresh
We all heard Eddie and wow'd us but when I heard Randy play it blew me away and was the reason why I wanted to play the guitar. Those first two albums changed everything for me. And today those records still give me goosebumps.
Me too!
It struck me when I saw ozzy in 1980(music mountain)... randy playing live was life changing for me... I picked up a guitar and never looked back! Still melting strings to this day! Def leppard opened for ozzy and got pelted/booed off stage!
Randy was next level metal, he took Iommi's baton. Randy helped write two masterpieces, that were places Ed did not go
@@Blitzkrieg.u812 I mean just listen to his live music on youtube, he took those studio songs and just made them better live
Me too! I play because of Randy. He is and will always be my favorite!!!
Holy sh!7! What a great interview-thanks dude!
an interview that excites Rhoads fans for sure I think this was merely part 1
Awesome work as always man
Rock on ! 🤘
Great Interview ! Thanks
Heard the 1st Blizzard album during an Ozzy radio interview he did while promoting the record. Me & my friends knew instantly that the guitar playing was special. Was lucky enough to see Randy live in April, 1981 at The Capitol Theatre in Passaic, NJ. Randy sounded great live!
bet that was like a religious experience, there is no doubt BOO was different than anything else out there
This Channel is absolutely TOP NOTCH!🎉
Thanks for posting this!
I love this channel. You ask the best questions.
they do good interviews...and do not talk over the guests
Eddie’s tone was killer
he was about brown sound Randy was about brown composition
@@chatsworthosbornejrhe played that whammy 😅 randy bent the neck
Randy was more melodic,toe tapping. Alot of Eddie's tapping stuff for me was to technical to me anyway. Not a fan of eruption.
I was lucky enough to see Randy, both tours with Ozzy, honestly Ozzy was forgettable, Randy I’ll never forget, he was an extremely rare bird! If I could bring back one musician out of all of them it would surely be Randy
I wish I had gotten to see him just listening to the bootlegs on youtube he sounds amazing especially that unmixed version of Tribute much better than the record we all got
This was a really good interview.
it wasa legitimately very good interview
wow great interview, lots of new nuggets of info I didn't know!
it was a really good interview even to long time fans who have heard most of this stuff
Good interview...Thanks
Enchanting Retrospective 💛
You're a great interviewer! Thank you
Back in the 80's as a teen... I never got into Eddie-granted he was a good guitarist-and out first-but when I heard Randy for the 1st time... I knew he was great! He was a musician like Page-Eddie was tricks with not much soul!
I don't know why - but when the number for the school went up I started to cry a little - I was just starting to play guitar when Randy hit it big (the opening to Crazy Train was the first thing I ever learned how to play) and the thought of taking a tour of that school was like an emotional kick to the stomach... but now I have to go. Thank you for this video - these were things I never even would have thought or known about the man I revered for so long.
I did the tour in August 2021 it was amazing...Kelle so generous with his time
You 'don't know' - I Don't Know either
So young but so mature and talented, of course. Such a shame we lost him RIP x
Another amazing interview. Unbelievable
it was really good
Love your show that was an amazing interview keep them coming keep up the great work 🤘😎
that was legitimately a great interview where a guy is not talking over the guests
That Randy Rhoads doc is very good. It goes over things they never talk about. I recommend it
if someone has the Ron Sobol DVD it was a lot of rehashed stuff....
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle the Ron sobol one is the better one anyways and not as much of a cash grab as the latest recycled doc
@@ortrist7044 I do not get into the cash grab assessment, i mean that's up to them but the fact is, it was better than nothing in my eyes even if it were just licensed stuff mostly coming from the Ron Sobol years. we all know it could have been better
Great interview
it really is
Thanks again
Saw Randy's last show in Knoxville. Front row barricade. Was blown away. But nothing like the day after.
I cannot even imagine seeing that guy play guitar live, I listen to the bootlegs all of the time, but tio see him and then know he is no longer with us...devastating
@Dave Wight it was amazing. I remember the sound was a bit muddy because we were so close. And also remember how small RR was and what a manic performer Oz was. Lol
@@mojodojo5533 I'm so so jealous of you seeing him play. Also very very sad for you too . Cuz of the next day. That cat 🐈 was God to me in 1980 .

One of my favorites of all time. He's the reason I started playing.

My first ever concert was UFO/Ozzy at Madison Square Garden on April 5th 1982 with Bernie Torme replacing Randy at that show . I was a huge Randy fan and couldn't wait to see him... I still have the tour book from the show, along with the NY Daily News article announcing Randy's death .
So tragic😥

Wow this is one of the best interviews with Randy's brother and sister ive heard that tells a lot about Randy, i miss Randy still there was nobody like him and still to this day there's been nobody like him, i tend to agree that Randy for sure had his own style way different from Eddie Van Halen which is another one of my hero's but ive always thought of them as two completely different style's i dont usually compare any musicians and look at them all differently even when comparing Vitto Bratta with Eddies sure Vito used some of Eddies Technique but still he made it his own i dont think Eddie has the patton on that tapping he was just first to hit the big time using it so he kind of claimed it and Eddie was damn good at it but as far as Randy copying Eddie i dont see it and never did i love them both in completely different ways R.I.P. to both but i do say if Randy would have lived on he would have been up there where Eddie eventually got without a doubt in my opinion.
absolutely agree, and on the website it says part I I cannot wait for more
No one who hears well thinks Ed and Randy sounded alike, it is absurd. Two great players forging their own paths. Vito had his own tone for sure.
Randy Rhodes was another genius like Eddie Van Halen in his own style but he was with us for a fleeting moment it seems like, he was here and I turned around and he was gone, and I was like what just happened? I was shocked because I thought he would be with us forever then he was just gone just like that I still don't think we really realized exactly what we lost when God took Randy home, I have 2 favorite guitar player heroes Eddie and Randy I love both their playing the same in different ways but Randy has been gone a long time and now Eddie's been gone going on 4 years I believe, my younger teenage year's are officially gone away, I sure do miss them both and this is really bringing back many wonderful memories R.I.P. both Randy and Eddie.
Man, thank you. 🙏
I read in Bob Daisley’s book Randy started his classical lessons almost immediately when he got to England. Were they from Dec- March of 1980, before the recording if blizzard? Or did he start them after the European tour and throughout the rest of his life. I do know he was taking lessons from very accomplished classical teachers, just not sure about names. This is history I wish I could gather more about . Randy has been my hero since 12 years old, I am 54 now and keep gathering as much as I can. What’s true? I don’t know , but I’ve been piecing it together all these years. I sure wish I could talk to both of you about Randy. I never forget his Birthday or that horrible day in March 1982. 1 week after my 13th bday. It feels strange to get this obsessed over someone, but when you have an unmatched talent and kindness of a man named Randy Rhoads, it’s hard not to learn as much as you can.
God Bless you Randy R.I.P.
Great interview I learned allot history 🎉
Kelly is always a cool interview. Always honest and a great storyteller. I’m assuming this is the sister. She is great as well.
I saw the Blizzard of Ozz tour in Springfield Mass 1981 with the Joe Perry Project and Motorhead... it was a great show
I remember when at UCSB a good buddy who was a great guitar player and a music major made me listen to an Ozzy song where randy was combining classical and rock. Wish I could remember which song. My friend sadly passed away not too !Ong after. Drew quartos. Rip mi amigo.
Randy et Eddie étaient 2 excellent Guitaristes. 2 PHENOMÈNES
Awesome interview! Thank you!
Amazing.
My very 1st two concerts. Blizzard of Ozzy with motorhead opening at the long Beach Arena. Diary of a Madman. Great concerts, Randy was great. Lov him still now.
How was Randy live? I can only imagine how that show was
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle the 1st show was straight rock and roll, lights, fog and the band playing most of Blizzard and like 4 songs from diary. The Diary of a Madman tour the following year was theatrical to the bone right up with kiss, iron maiden, Alice Cooper. The opening had Ozzy on a throne with a mirror cross on top of the drummers three sided drum riser. Which Tommy Aldridge Came out from under on the stage for the opener Over the Mountain.
The difference from one tour to another was astonishing for Randy and Ozzy. They put on a show all night at the Forum in LA, a Randy homecoming. The end of the show Ozzy came out the 3 sided riser in a mechanical hand ✋ and raised above the crowd they catapulted raw meat that hit Ozzy in the back of the head! No shit, missed the crowd, nailed Ozzy. He almost fell off that damn hand. But hey the show went on anyway. Priceless memories of that night. The parking lot was electric with anticipation before the show that night. One of the best shows growing up at that time. I went to a lot of shows, that one stands out. Randy was and still is the man.
Really cool that there's no time stamps and it took until halfway through the video for the subject in the title to be mentioned 10:10
Oh my goodness. Randy Rhodes sister looks just like him! He had such ethereal beauty. ❤
I was not metal nor Sabbath fan...
But when I heard that Crazy Train ,I knew it had pulled right into my station and it has never left...his music talks to me like no one ...people I've known all my life can't say the words to calm my heart or pep me up like Randy can.Add Tommy n Sarzo n that it valium to my soul...Thank you Randy....without you and Sharon the world would have missed out on the wonderful kooky genius that is Ozzy...wish you could have stayed ....though you've never left our hearts,I would have loved to hear you after 40 years of practice
those two albums are metal but they also had great musicianship on them which any music fan can love, I can still remember every time I popped in Blizzard of ozz into my dad's tape deck in the car. he would say the samething: the music sounds good until O squared opens his mouth. He would hum the Crazy train riff, mind my dad was a jazz and classical guy.
I blind tested Tonight to my wife and her mouth dropped when I told her who it was...she thought it was a beautiful song
I often tell people I love those Ozzy early solo albums but don't really care at all for the Black Sabbath stuff and people look at me like huh what? You like what you like.
@Bart Sullivan what early ozzy solo albums? Bark at the moon? It's a clear lot of people liked his second band, Blizzard of ozz better than Sabbath.
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Far more people would drone on endlessly about Sabbath than Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin. Of course Blizzard and Diary are classics. I just always preferred Ozzy's solo material up until No More Tears. Just personal preference I guess.
@@bartsullivan4866 I prefer his second band, Blizzard of ozz to Sabbath, and I like the stuff with Jake and Bob too.
It would be cool to go to Musonia for lessons.
My sister took lessons there. My dad was a professional musician. Randy was a friend and was my first mad crush.., he never knew. So many shows at the Starwood! I still grieve him. Randy DID NOT copy Eddie. After all these years this still pisses me off. . I still drive by their house when I'm in the neighborhood 💔
Randy Rhodes died when I had a ticket to see Ozzy in Ft.Wayne. I was crushed.
Good interview. Who's conducting the interview?
Randy was THE most influential guitar player in my life. For me, it was the journey he took me on while playing. When I heard Crazy Train, it was like being on a crazy train. When I heard Diary of a Madman, it was like I was in some Frankenstein lab. Most of all, it was his ability to merge clean with heavy and to build up solos that were sincerely epic. His sense of melody and his ability to have the guitar sing has never left me to this day.
I was lucky enough to see him live, but never lucky enough to meet him personally. I would have given anything to take lessons from him. RIP Randy. You touched a lot of souls and this one has enjoyed your influence immensely.
I think if you took all of the adjectives and lined them under guitar players, melody maker would show up the most under Randy. He had an ability to add melody to any solo and song. Not every guitarsist has that gift.
Its funny that apparently Ozzy theatened to bring Frank Zappa in to play guitar for the live album, because I recently found out that Zappa LOVED Black Sabbath! He had cited “Iron Man” and “Supernaut” as two of his favorite songs…remarkable considering Zappa wasnʻt big on praising other musicians, esoecially rock musicians.
I was BLESSED to get to see Randy play on March 18, 1982, in Knoxville, TN, his very last concert. The next day at mt high school, a bunch of us kept going on and on about how mind blowing Ozzy’s guitarist is…then when i got home from school, my grandmother, of all people, tells me that sheʻd heard that some Ozzy guy that played here last night got killed! (Sheʻd only remembered the name Ozzy because of the old Ozzy & Harriet Nelson tv show) I thought surely sheʻs wrong, but when i turned on the radio, they were playing “Crazy Train”, which i knew was a bad sign! Then the DJ said Randy Rhoads was killed, hours after the show from the previous night…I went from being stunned by his awesome guitar playing to bring stunned that he was suddenly gone. I still have the ticket stub in a photo album someplace, wish i coukd find it!
It's crazy he didn't like Sabbath. I love both Randy and Sabbath with Ozzy. Randy's tribute version of Children Of The Grave is mind blowing. I'm so glad that happened because to me that's just Randy making my favorite Sabbath song better.
