Wow, this video gave me goosebumps! What a terrible loss for the world of music, but you nailed the tone and really did him justice in this video. RIP Randy.
Thanks!
I now live 3 miles from the original Charvel warerhouse. Back in the day I often went there with my friends who were having guitars made. Everyone that worked there were some of the coolest people ever. I played Randy's original White guitar, seemed very bulky. I also got to play a Schon guitar there and Gene's Jackson AXE bass. Had a Jackson bass but didn't get it from there. I also saw Randy in Quiet Riot at the Starwood with Dokken. So blessed to have older cousins who introduced me to some incredible music. Thanks for keeping the music ALIVE. You've got a great feel for Randy's stuff.
You nailed it again man! Saw Ozzy in Atl a few days before the plane wreck-Randy tore it up that night. Really broke my heart when I heard he was gone. A real innovator! Love the guitar! Dude, you Rock! Thank you 🙏🏼.
That’s awesome you got to see him
@@PeteThorn Yeah! I was totally blessed. Awesome show. I also saw him at the Fox in Atl for the Previous tour promoting the First Ozzy Album. I remember the white (wonderfully yellowed) Les Paul. I think we were 8th row. I was 19 I think. I just wonder how him, Jimi, SRV, etc would have evolved as guitar players had they Lived. All were so driven and were so young. Who knows but it’s Nice to ponder.
@@PeteThorn I think it's time for a deep dive Randy Rhoads 💪
Randy wasn't an innovator man c'mon LOL. He was a very good guitar player and one of my favorites but he wasn't an innovator.
The definition or Innovator is a person who introduces new methods, ideas, or products. Hmmm, let’s see, he created a new guitar, wrote new songs, merged classical guitar lines into hard Rock . Yep, pretty sure he meets the criteria. Dude he was on another level when he came on the scene. I remember it all.
I still get chills listening to this. Randy was completely in another world on every level of the guitar. Diary of a Madman in my opinion is the greatest hard rock metal record ever made. I had tickets to see this tour when Randy passed . Brad did a stellar job filling in.
Agree 100%
The greatest guitarist that most people don't know about. His time was cut short and he passed 40 years ago. Still, in his short time he made his impact and put his stamp on guitar history....just a shame he wasn't around longer and that he seems to have been forgotten or never was made known to more people.
Most people don't know about? In no way is that true. Rhoads is hailed as one of the greatest. Ozzy, being one of the most famous people in the world regularly sings his praises.
Anyone who knows anything about Guitars will know about Randy Rhoads.
Just my luck I was born the day he died
Randy Rhoads is why I started playing guitar unfortunately I never got to see him live but I remember like yesterday hearing about his death I was only 13 years old when he passed listening to Ozzy and Randy changed my life got me listening to rock and metal and started playing guitar I remember just being memorized by his licks constantly rewinding cassette tapes listening to it over and over again driving every crazy who was with did you hear that hear it again listen to it lol he was the best guitarist hands down bugging my parents to get me tickets to a show unfortunately that never happened
The impact he made in just a couple years since he's mainly known for playing with Ozzy here we 40 years later still talking about him not many people do that if any in such a short time mixing classical with rock and metal
R.I.P Randy Rhoads.
@@Paul-fq9pjit’s more to do with Randy’s composition abilities. More advanced then what people think
Thanks for this one Pete. Randy is the reason I ever picked up a guitar and it’s so cool to see a piece of his history being played and enjoyed.
Randy is the reason I play. RIP.
Such a great vid, great playing, great fun! That tone was just killer, too! Thank you for being you, Pete. 🤘😎
💕☀️
Krist I have massive goose bumps...............I saw Randy with Ozzy in August 81, Grand Rapids MI on the Blizzard tour. Def Leppard opened on their High N Dry tour. That whole show was off the charts. Good stuff Pete.
Saw Ozzy 4-23-81.Harrisburg PA Motorhead opened
This is far more impressive to me than probably any other piece of music gear. Simply Amazing.
Me too
Randy is a legend and is my all time favorite players. Thanks for sharing this with us, I can only imagine how you feel playing this guitar 🤘🤘🤘
Hey Pete... I saw the Diary of a Madman tour at the CU Event Center in Boulder, Colorado when I was living there in my teens. They were running so late because of a snowstorm there was an announcement you could get a refund if you didn't want to wait... and though most people waited, some did leave. We drove all the way up from the Denver area which was a 2 hour drive in the snow... so of course... we weren't F'n leaving... and I don't have to tell you, I'm glad we stayed! They didn't have their big Diary of a Madman Medieval Castle stage set up with the cages and all... truck stuck in the snow storm... but we knew, it was gonna" be an amazing show... and it was! I've always been a fan of Randy's tone, which was amazing live! You nailed it here... but what I loved the most was those screeching metal grinding like sounds he got, I don't know how else you can get those tones... he had the most unique feedback sounds I ever heard... and in the mix... yeah... nothing else cut like that Tone , especially for that cutting rhythm! He was a brilliant musician, humble yet had the swagger of a true Guitar God!!! If you own that guitar now... man, you're one blessed dude, outside of all the incredible talent you have and worked hard to develop! In my mind, you're one of the guys I believe definitely worthy of carrying Randy's axe! Thanks for an amazing deep dive into Randy's tone and his prototype custom Jackson guitars! Next... the black and white Polka Dot Sandoval Custom??? 😎🤘🎸🐦
Not my guitar, just borrowed! But thank you!
@@PeteThornSo amazing to even get to play that thing.... and thanks to the owner! AWESOME!!!
What a great time to, the 80's had so much changes & New stuff 2,I bought my 1st Jackson/Charvel with Hot EMI's, Shark tooth, Floyd, 1st guy in the seen with EMI's, no telling how many dudes wanted to buy my Guitar, if only still had it!!!
It never gets old hearing your adventures PETE, + U had a custom made!! That's a real fan gear junkie at such a young age, I bought my Kramer & had Gibson Dirty Fingers put in B4 left Muscle Shoals AL back to TN,, TY PETE,,
Randy is a legend and a real life guitar hero. Thanks for sharing his 3rd prototype Jackson Flying V it looks and sounds amazing~
Totally disagree. I remember when i first heard him back in the early 80s. He took classical guitar lines and merged them into hard rock. He designed a guitar. Pretty sure that meets the criteria for innovation my friend. Anyone who writes original songs is an innovator. The word “innovator” means
a person who introduces new methods, ideas, or products. Hmmm, yep he’s an innovator alright.
What am I missing here?
I'm guessing we are roughly the same age, the impact Randy made on me back then continues to this day. I'm an average guitarist at best, but still try to learn his stuff now more than any other guitarist. He played phrases you just don't hear from anyone else....totally unique.
Pete I'm glad you did this..there's no better authority on rock ass tone and gear than you to give an opinion on the legends like Randy...I can remember you saying in the past you weren't a fan of his tone..which really lead me to listen closer to this day every time I hear his playing..it's very unique..I haven't torn it down as u have of course but this is very interesting to me as I see him as the guitar God he is..but the tone is alot of things at once... incredibly cutting.. awesome research and appreciate you doing all of this work for us...would love more of these type vids where you highlight the historical aspects of the players and instruments that have shaped rock and roll... appreciate you very much man..👊😁🎸🎶
Thank you!
I absolutely second that!
Pete really is one of the few that can not only capture the tones, but hit the feeling, vibe and rhythm with dead on balls accuracy.
There people who can play the notes but Pete feels the notes.
Great video Pete!
F'N ripping on the triple tracked solo!! Great work Pete!
I saw a Randy Rhoads play on January 22nd 1982 and that concert change the direction of my life and I've been playing my guitar for over 40 years ever since
Pete this was a wonderfully made video and its beyond evident how much you love his playing and his contribution. I gather we're in a similar age bracket I too was to see Ozzy after Randy's passing growing up in Miami Beach. Anyway, more importantly, this was super fun to watch and very well crafted.
You are one of the few youtubers or guitarists in general who can do this one justice. Rock on pete!
Thanks!
I love hearing any history on Randy, he was no doubt...a unique guitarist and we are blessed to have his recordings to share for all of time!
I bet him and EVH are trading licks right now
So much history, thank you for posting and allowing us to view that aspect of Randy’s life. You kick ass on that guitar…..
Thank u!
Randy will always be my favorite guitarist. Randy’s playing had power, depth, and breath. His ability to play melodies with lots of room is unique. Thanks for sharing the information with us. RIP Randy.
Absoute stellar job in presenting not only the guitar, the player, his playing, how he was recording... All in a very fluid&clear presentation. By the way, you rock !
Thank you!
Saw Randy Jan-15-1982 Met Center Bloomington Mn. Randy is my guitar hero and he really grabbed my attention that night. Such a small stature with a HUGE sound! There was a massive blizzard that night but somehow everyone made it to the show, it was packed to the rafters. 2 months later I was on the bus coming home from school when I heard the news. I didn’t want to believe it so I ran to the house and turned on the radio only to hear that Randy really was gone. My mouth dropped open just like the first time I heard him play. Friends say they can hear Randy in my guitar sometimes. What hurts the most is the question, “what could have been”? He had so much more to give.
I absolutely loved watching you play his RR3 and you nailed the sound!! It’s so ironic because I also used a Boss super OD into a Marshall to get close to his sound. I also used a MXR “2000 series” distortion + into a 1970’s JMP. That got me close as well. Anyhow, love your playing and your channel!!! Thx.
Really cool. Tone and playing was impeccable. RR is one of the greats! Gone way too soon. Thanks, Pete!
Gotta watch this one again! Also, it should be said that this format combining playing, gear and rock history, and then tips on recording was really cool.
Pete, I saw an interview with Randy's brother and he said Randy was planning on doing 4 records with Ozzie and then he was going to compile a classical music album. His mom's music school is where he learned how to play guitar and classical was one of his chosen styles. George Lynch filled in for Randy teaching at the music school while Randy was on tour. Randy beat out George in the audition for Ozzie.
Thank you Pete. This came to me now as a big source of faith and hope in times of need. Your work does bring light to many of us 🙏🏽.
🙏 stay in the light, man! 🎸
@@PeteThorn I will, my man 🕯. Thank you for answering.
That triple tracked solo sounds massive!
Geeze is there anything you can’t play man? Very nice tribute to Randy and his legacy he’s missed greatly and I gotta believe him and all the other musicians that have passed are just rocking out and having a blast! Round of applause for Pete folks well done sir!!!👏🏻
Did his LPC have a maple neck? Makes sense that he’d want something close to that guitar… mahogany body, maple neck, 12” radius…
I don’t think Brad Gillis gets the recognition he deserves for jumping into a situation like that and making sure the show went on.
It probably did!
Thank you for this. What a great insight into icon that is Randy Rhoads. Incredible guitar you played too. You did the guitar and especially Randy real respect and justice. The fan from back then really shone through.
Thanks!
Peter I cannot describe the feelings that welled inside me with your presentation! Really appreciate this, it touched my soul deeply. Keep doing what you do always! 🙏🏼
Mine too,I bought Diary of a Madman twice saving my lunch money, my Dad broke me first because of he said it was garbage, evil because of how Ozzy looked. The second one I never put back in the sleeve after it went on the turntable!It's my favorite rock and roll album.Along with Blizzard that chemistry with Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake was Magick.I heard on the radio he died in that plane crash asI woke up in 8th grade and it gave me a sadness I still can feel.To me after Randy No One can play those songs,they've all pretenders.Brad did it best.As a player myself he set an unattainable bar,somewhere in the ether.There are players now that can emulate his songs perfectly,technically. Still,to me no one ever has created Rock and Roll music so huge, heavy and magical. God bless Randy Rhoads
Ditto.
Damn Pete! Your playing is unreal! I was a huge Randy Rhoads fan. I think Dee is such a cool acoustic song. I am 51 and I was gutted when I heard he passed. Your story about buying tickets to see him live reminded me that in 1990 I had tickets to see KISS here in Halifax, Nova Scotia but the show was cancelled and come to find out, it was because Eric Carr was really really sick and the following year he sadly passed from cancer. Live life like there is no tomorrow Pete because there may not be!
Saw KISS in Toronto in the mid-seventies at Varsity Stadium. A clown band with mediocre material, despite my old friend Adam Mitchell having written some of their songs. Sabbath and KISS are basically average-sounding bar bands.
I have a very early San Dimas made Rhoads Student model (serial dates it to 1984 and is in the 700’s), and one of the things I’ve noticed is the neck feels so much like my ‘77 Les Paul. I once had the opportunity to ask Grover Jackson about that, and he told me that is no coincidence, all the early Rhoads guitars had neck profiles that were made to mimic Randy’s Les Paul.
Awesome work Pete! Sounds amazing. Really appreciate your dedication and work ethic on these videos.
I was 14 when Blizzard of Ozz came out. Impressive. Randy rocked. Even today I nod my head and think, what a tasteful player he was. In a league of his own.
I can understand why someone who's 14 likes his shit, but "tasteful?" LOL.
Randy for me was the epitome of metal guitar! When I hear the term "Metal guitar" Randy's playing comes to my mind..🤘
Another great video by Pete. He nailed the tone, and the solo. It is amazing that Rhandy was only 25 when he died; he had a seasoned maturity to his playing that belied his years.
Thank you for doing this video. It is awesome and you nailed RR's tone!
Pete, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and incredible guitar playing. Realky took me back and keeps Randys memory alive!
Awesome video Pete! Stellar playing on the Rhoads solo as well!
Thank you for this video! For me (huge RR fan) this is one of your best videos ever! Awesome!!!
Loved this!! Thanks for showing Randy some love!!
Killer video. So cool you got a chance to play that guitar. I’m with you on Randy’s tone, I appreciate it more these days, it just works for those songs so well. Looking forward to more of those guitars on the zone videos!
Wow! Thank you so much for tracking this one! I love all of your videos, but this one is really special to me as well. I was 16 when RR passed.
Went to an Ozzy concert in 1981. This guy came out with a polka dot flying V. I didn't know of him. I didn't even know his name. It was about 1month after I saw EVH. Well, after I saw EVH I said to myself "Well I just saw the very best electric guitarist". And then I saw this guy Randy Rhoads.../ Great playing Pete !
Two of my favorite guitarists. Randy & Pete. Sounded amazing. Thank you for this.
That video couldn't have been any better. Thanks you Mr. Thorn!!
Randy was just before my time, but when I first listened to Tribute, I honestly teared up... thanks so much for this Pete
man i love Randy so much you nailed all of that i got goosebumps. killer playing as usual
Solid Gold. My favorite Randy riff and you nailed it right out of the gate. Thanks for doing these videos Pete
This video was excellent man. Caught me by surprise!! Thank you for this.
Amazing as always, Pete! You consistently provide stellar content and playing ability. Always bang on with the sound and feel of the artist. Randy Rhoads forever.
Thanks Pete for taking us back and showing some really cool techniques Randy used. The more I find out about some of my guitar heros, the more I realize they weren't just great players, they were very intellectual and particular in the way they used their gear. I appreciate all of your work and your channel on YT, Pete. You have become one of my favorite musicians, too.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Great video. Classical melodic minor runs mixed with aggressive pentatonic elements are a staple of Rhoads' playing. So tastefully executed and Pete does it so well. Thanks man.
Jeeze!!!
GREAT vlog Pete!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this tonight!! A real thrill to watch someone actually bring that axe back to life!! Randy was my hero and it brings back so many memories.
You nailed it mate! Awesome! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
My God Pete, got goosebumps hearing you play FHA. Thanks so much for the video, it brings back so many great memories from Randys short time on the planet. Thanks for showing and playing this amazing guitar! Randy is smiling down on you now. RIP RR.
You gave me chills playing that iconic song that we all love on that classic piece of history. It makes me sad wondering how much we missed from Randy and also thankful for the music he made. It's great to see you playing that particular guitar as passionate, talented and willing you are to share such interesting guitars and gear. Thanks!
My favorite video!!! I love Pete and Randy Rhoads is my all time favorite. No one could ever sound like him, he was incredibly unique!! Pete did an awesome job with this video. It was very informative and I’m so grateful he took the time to do this! Thanks so much Pete!!!! Your awesome!!!
Fantastic video all around. Well done Pete.
WOW!
With that triple-tracking, it TOTALLY makes sense.
Definitely gives it that "played-in-an-empty-warehouse" sense.
always dig how much joy you have in your videos. the sheer fun of music always comes through. owe you several beverages!
Thanks! :)
Excellent video and Pete... my man!!! superb playing and information, keep the good work.
I'm sooooooooooooooooooo happy...
RR is still my fav and you're without any doubt one of the most interesting guitarist on YT. So you, playing Randy is a real pleasure !
As always you nailed it: the tone... the phrasing... the spirit...
Great vid man, great great vid.
Superb video, Pete. How wonderful you get to spend some time with a top tier piece of rock history. You certainly do it justice. Diary of a Madman Tour was my first concert. Just a little kid, I swam my way through the crowd to the front row. Right in front of RR. One of Ozzy's doves landed on the headstock of Randy's White Custom during the solo for "Diary of a Madman". It just sat there for most of the solo. I figured it was a sign. Saved my lawn mowing money and with mom's help got a Norlin-era white custom of my own that I still play. Randy passed just over a month after that show. Broke my heart. Really nice tribute, tone analysis and playing, Pete. Thank you.
Such a great video! He was a hero to many of us and still is.
You sir nailed the sound and playing.The best so far.
Thanks Pete for again shining the light on an amazing guitarist and a piece history.
RR3 is cool…. But dude I want to hear your childhood guitar that looks sick!
I just feel like I've never witnessed a guitarist/musician/technician/teacher nail like you do. Appreciate you elevating this beloved song and artist.
Wow. Just landed on this channel and must say you nailed Randy’s tone like no other. Your playing was absolutely amazing. I have the black RR2 NAMM show custom made by Mike Shannon and I hope to keep it with me for many years to come.
Thanks for honoring Randy, Pete. I can tell by your approach to this one that you have great respect for his playing and spent a lot of time putting this together [dialing in tones, impulses, triple tracking etc]. Your care for this one is obviously appreciated by your community as evidenced by the comments section!
I especially enjoyed the wrap-up. I was in a very similar situation in grade school wanting to see him on the Diary tour. I didn't actually end up catching Ozzy until I was 12 on the Speak of the Devil tour. Years later though, I can tell that his music had a huge impact on so many guitar players. An amazing talent, gone too soon.
Pete, dang it man! Every aspect, total respect! Thank you!
Great video Pete 👏🏻 I also grew up listening to Randy and loved his approach to guitar 🎸 and still do.
Wow. This was awesome Pete. Thanks for this. Great playing and analysis. Randy would be proud!
Very very cool, awesome job breaking down the sound. Growing up I was never crazy about the tone, but it’s a tone that works great and complements the songs overall. The playing was on point as usual, awesome. Blessings and thanks Pete!
Great playing Pete. A wonderful demonstration of Randy’s compositional talents. Brilliant.
Some serious badassery going on there. You are an awesome player and that guitar rocks.
Great job Pete, as always!
Randy as right there with Eddie when I was a young teenager. Epic, Pete. Thanks.
Pete, I'm just jumping out of my chair fright now!! Randy was so influential as a young and early guitar student, his playing still moves me to this day. I can remember rushing home from school to practice my Randy Rhoads licks! I absolutely love the reversed shark tooth inlays... so very metal! This episode just warms my heart. Thank you for all your excellent content Pete, amazing playing, and for being such a great personality and part, of our larger Guitar-Family! Cheers Bruddah!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Quality work Pete, I love Randy and his style.
Great job mate.
Nailed it. The tone and dynamics.
Excellent, excellent walk through Pete. Randy is truly my favorite guitarist and made me pick up the guitar when I was 14 and still playing today at 50. The Ozzy Tribute cd is always playing at home or in the car. To play that guitar must have been amazing. Seeing the Concord guitar in person at the RRHOF was breath taking. Rock on! Love to see you do a Randy tribute series like you did with EVH.
seemed. like he was struggling a bit, not enough to join Ozzys band with that
Excellent job on the playthrough.
pete you are the man! extremely well done video, playing is superb and knowlege in dept. bravo.
Excellent video Pete...wow this took me back
Fantastic work and your sound! Wow! 👌
Thanks so much for this video! Is so cool to still get new information revolving around Randy Rhoads. So cool to see that guitar! I was lucky to see Randy in GA before he passed. 🤘
Hi Pete, thanks for this informative video and deep dive into Randy's studio techniques. I love that your video coincides with the Guitar World special edition that just came out on Randy:) I was also one of those kids (12 years old) who had tickets to the Diary of a Madman tour (in Oakland, CA) and was crushed that Randy had died just before the show. I also saw Brad Gillis play the eventual gig and was really impressed by his amazing performance, especially since I didn't like Night Ranger and was pretty bummed on my way going into the venue. Not many people would have had the courage (or ability) to step into that role, but he pulled it off admirably. Thanks again for all the great videos!
Thank you Pete! Think about Randy all the time!
Great playing and tone! This guitar is my fav of the 4 prototypes. It is inevitable that over the years some things have been changed but IMO it is such an important piece of Randy’s & Jacksons history it deserves to be put back to original & displayed for future guitar players to keep his legacy alive. The fact that its floating around out there blows my mind and I can’t even imagine having the opportunity to play it.
amazing video! well done Pete
Man that's a great video. And a great tone covering some of the greatest guitar tracks of all time. One thing about Randy is that in his solos, in certain parts he would play different notes for different takes of the same song. Then when he adds them together, not only does it have that massive triple tracked sound, it has these parts where one guitar track plays this note and the other track plays a something that's a half-note apart. The effect is something you can't really pinpoint but it sounds really cool and also makes covering him real hard because even though one plays the "right" notes, because the "other" notes are missing, it doesn't sound the same.
Excellent work on this reviews.
Exceptional playing
Man did I used to have this song loud on the radio while working in the garage! Thanks for the triple track stuff I think the tapping triple tracked fills that part of the solo amazing!
Hey Pete, truly amazing job on this one, This one is a top 5 Pete Thorn video of all time on your channel in my opinion!!!
Thanks so much! I hope to do more like this. This was really fun and rewarding for me.
That was awesome! Thanks Pete!!!
This is just incredible Pete !! What an Honor !
