I saw Randy's last show in Knoxville, Tennessee. The next morning, I was on my way to a freshman college class and heard on the radio that he was killed in the plane crash. I was gobsmacked. I witnessed greatness that night and I will never forget it.
I saw Randy Live in 1982 on The Diary Tour in Detroit. Trust me he sounded like 3 guitars at one time. He was phenomenal and after seeing hundreds of concerts since that day I can whole heartedly say Randy was The Best Guitar virtuoso I have ever seen. He owned the stage with guitar god presence like no other as well. His 2 years with Ozzy was lightning in a bottle. RIP Randy.
You know your great when you only play on the world stage for more or less a couple of years and after you're gone your considered one of the best of all time.
Really the greatest part of this performance is Ozzy just marveling at Randy playing...that smile, Millions of fans , yet his greatest fan was Ozzy...you cant buy that shit!
that's why the moment Ozzy woke up from the noise of the crash one of his first words (from his autobiography) were basically "it's over... it's all over" that shows how much it hit him that he'll never sing along side to a guitarist the world had lost.

It's funny watching Ozzy when he doesn't have a vocal part in this song, he looks like any other fan in the audience, thoroughly enjoying the band. Good stuff.
@@jcavazos4145 That's what great front men do. Ronnie Van Zant was the exception. He stalked the stage like he owned it and coaxed every every guitarist in the band to play thier best like the record.
I been noticing that i alot of the videos ive watched today . It gives me alot of respect for Ozzy too, i remember how i personally felt on this night 38 yrs ago and i never met Randy. Can u imagine having and being apart of this band where even the other members are looking over when Randy is ripping out something theyve never heard before and you all know that this isnt normal , were a part of something we cant even fathom right now ? And you wake up and before the days even begun you hear the unthinkable news that its gone . I cant imagine that . Or that they now had this huge tour to finish.i dont think i could have. So much respect to Ozzy as he somehow ( lots of drugs ) made it thru and eventually found Jake E. Lee
Best part is Ozzy's reaction at the end...you can tell he's still amazed even after hearing Randy play with him for a short while. Honestly though, who wouldn't be? Randy is still one guitarist that can give me chills, even after listening to him for almost 40 years.
The thing that amazes me about his solo here is despite playing very fast he is still able to pluck each individual note with a lot of consideration towards intensity, vibrato, and tone. It adds that special bite to the solo that really makes it stand out.
Yes and I'll add Rhoads had good timing, in the he always knows exactly where in each bar he is playing what, despite a lot of changes in the pace of the notes. He can sort of speed up or slow down on note passages and it doesn't sound out of time, at lest not usually. I think that would be very hard to do, and be convincing. Practice obviously!
@@j_freed very much similar to the way the Allman Brothers band leg speed up and slow down the tempo all as a groupeven while improvising and changing keys all coming back in exactly on the beat following the snare and the hi-hat simply incredible and amazing incomparable and ridiculously awesome!
My best friend in the world is Randy Rhoad's half-brother. I had the pleasure of meeting Randy Rhoads on two occasions during his heyday working with Ozzy Osborne. He was staying at my best friend's house with his father for a two week layover from touring. Randy was exhausted and slept for the first two days! Randy was a surprisingly humble, quiet guy in person. Hard to believe when his stage presence is taken into account. It's just awful how Randy left this world.... :-(
Randy Rhoads was amazing i could just listen to him play all by himself I look forward to all of his solos. So sorry his life was cut so short. I still have the the album “tribute to Randy Rhoads” that i bought as a teenager. Its so cool that Rudy Sarzo helps to have Randys legacy live on. Thank you for sharing this with us
Wow! I mean you could just see everybody is just blown away by Randy and Ozzy is literally scratching his head like what the F is this! Like he still couldn’t believe how good this guy is! I still can’t believe it!
Randy is so good, the tape couldn't catch him, and totally blew Ozzy's mind. Love this footage. Thanks for this break down. Never believed there was anything wrong with it, just could never believe that solo. The ending with the bends always puts tears in my eyes.
I remember when this was first broadcast. I noticed some oddities but at the same time IDGAF. Randy Rhodes was at that time, and still is to this day, the most innovative and tasteful metal guitarist I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. Many will argue with me about that, but will never change my mind.
I saw Randy February 5, 1982 in Lansing MI. Still the loudest concert I have ever seen and one of my favorites. Gives me chills thinking about it today.
Ozzy was basically the weakest link. He wouldn't be "Ozzy" without Daisley and Rhoads. Sharon helped to create and then destroy the song writing machine.
He loved that boy. We all did. First time I cried in front of other people since I was 8 or 9 was when my friends and I heard it on the radio while driving
There are only a handful of guitar players that are very unique, randy was brilliant, and the chemistry between him and ozzy was one of a kind, ozzy's dark madman demeanor with randys classical ability was classic in its self, thx wings, you always show how truly talented an individual is!!
It wouldn't have been with Ozzy. He was leaving Ozzy's band after his contract with Jet was up. Apparently Ozzy was a mean drunk. Hard to say what he would have done musically on his own.
Wyatt Johnson 35 years ago some guitar store guy said Randy was just copying Eddie Van Halen. Didn't believe him. I always felt RR and EVH Each have a very particular sense of musical taste and style, and they both invented their own lexicon of guitar that didn't copy anybody. If anything Randy invented a lot of things that have nothing to do with Eddie's innovations with two-handed tapping,
Thank you Fil for your taking the time and lending your production expertise and own virtuosity to this performance from the legendary Randy Rhoads and explaining to us why the differences between video and audio. Thanks to the Legendary Rudy Sarzo for taking time to correspond to you and back up what actually took place at that session as well!
After watching many of Fil"s videos, I'm just blown away with how much information he has to share with us. He really does his homework. Hats off to you. What an intelligent guy.
Rebel Rocker. I don't think he saw it as competition. He just played because he loved to play. The fact that he was arguably one of the best. Just goes to show his passion for music. 🎼
Randy uses every single guitar technique so fluidly and perfectly, there’s no doubt that some would think that some parts were dubbed in. He is the pinnacle of metal guitar. Let’s not forget his song writing abilities. He wrote all of these classic riffs. All of these classic solos. All of these classic songs. He understood how to build a song into something people want to listen to. He had a real pop sensibility. Just a natural talent for hearing what a great riff or song sounded like. To me he’s the best. The total package. These songs will be played 100 years from now.
Rudy is such a cool guy. I don’t know him personally. But every time I’ve seen any interviews with him. He comes across as a genuine guy. Humble, polite and all around great dude. For Rudy to respond to UA-cam video so that “ We” the little people can solve our question. Great video man!! And YEAH RUDY!!!!
I love this video, it was on a show called "After Hours" I think, when it was aired on TV. I really love the end when Randy is letting his amp feedback and Tommy is going nuts I always thought it looks like Ozzy's looking around at them thinking how great his "Supergroup" is. These guys were magical together.
Oh yeah - I saw Randy at a sound check. He sort of walked around with no real intent in his behavior and laid down these effortless and breath-taking runs. You could watch him but he was devious. He'd do things like trills and vibratos and by the time you realized he'd done this, he'd moved on and you missed his technique. Of course, you couldn't go up to him and say, 'Hey, could you do that again?'
Why not? He WAS a guitar teacher. He might've shown you how... Of course, you might not have known that at the time, and "bothering" someone you admire can be intimidating, I know.
Hey Fil.. BillyJ south of Pittsburgh. Sorry little late on the reply. I’m blessed that I got to see Randy with the oz. The guy was just phenomenal with his jazzed infused solos... man he was a beast... great die young.. have a great night... thanks
It’s such a weird visual to me when the gigantic Zack Wilde is in photos with Randy’s clothing and guitars. Seeing how one of Ozzy’s guitar players was so small and another is a mountain of a man. Also amazes me that Randy played Les Paul’s as much as he did considering his size when most smaller guitarists tended to gravitate to Strats.
Damn, I have to say that all the above comments are epic and I completely agree with them. Pretty damn deep gents! Oh and yes I was alive when this video was made my bros
No guitarist that Played for Ozzy will be as good as Randi. If you are not trained in the masters the Lord has to help you to do what Randi did and Ozzy benefitted so, so much. You can even see Ozzy smiling, saying oh my gosh I am going to be bigger than Black Sabbath with all these young guys around me and Sabbath basically playing slow dungeon music. You see it in his face. Thanks for all these outstanding I mean outstanding lessons and videos. Thank you brother. James.
Randys solos were songs within themselves. He had a great melodic attitude toward his music. I get the same satisfied feeling listening to them today as the first time I heard them many years ago.
RANDY'S GUITAR PLAYING ON THIS IS JUST THE GREATEST, I CAN LISTEN TO IT A MILLION TIMES IN A ROW, R.I.P. RANDY, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, COUSIN FIGEL
I wasn’t a fan of Ozzy and didn’t know about Randy, but he is really melodic. Like you said previously a great solo is part of the song and you find yourself singing it. It’s seem less with the song. It’s always musical and not a speed test with a click track.
The greatest guitarist that ever lived, both on style, technique, creativity, and skill.... No tricks, beautiful soul, mixed with a melodic mind, coupled with a musical spirit 🤔
If you had said “one of the greatest ever” I would’ve agreed, but sorry, brother. Hate to break it to you, but there are literally hundreds since Randy that would smoke him in at least the technique department.
@@danrebeiz4598 you kind of missed his point. Tell me how many of those hundreds will still be talked about 30 years after their death... tell me how many of them will have songs that are so iconic they are in movies, sporting events and the encore for world tours? We get it... there are guitar technique wizards out there... Berklee and MIT wiz kids but the problem is most of them have no impact when they play. Its fast elevator music. No depth or soul. Randy isnt just an icon because he played the fastest or was the most complex. he's an icon because he's the finest known example of technique, composing, phrasing, song writing, and rock anthems combined into one player to ever exist. Crazy train is arguably the best most recognizable rock song ever recorded. His music has stood the test of time. Very very few players no matter how skilled can say that... there are only 2 or 3 players in contemporary music to be able to make that claim. Eddie, Hendrix, SRV, Beck, Page and randy... that's about the list.
Randy is truly one of .. or the only one .. that is in his caliber of playing .. I was born in 67 .. The first time I heard Ozzy his voice was all his own .. Never in my life had I heard such a distinctive voice .. Then Randy started in with his solo and it blew me away .. So much talent .. When UA-cam started up I was more impressed cause when you watch him play .. Randy doesn't look at his left hand to see where it is .. Its all touch .. I know as every one else that his time here was to short .. But Randy will remain as one of or may be the one Rock guitar god of all time .. Wish I had 1/4 th of his talent ... ... ... Rest in peace brother .. And thanks for posting this issue .. I enjoyed it greatly ..
Ozzy looks on in disbelief. GREAT STUFF! Thanks Fil, for this ultimate metal treasure! I was 13 in '81, learning Ironman of course on a Peavy Bandit and a Big Muff and thanks to Randy I've never put it down! Much love from Houston Tx USA!!
Man, I've still got a bandit and love the shit out of it's sound. Not to mention you can roll it down the stairs, give it a few kicks, and plug it back in and it still plays fine.
Randy really was on a different level. Saw him also in 82 for Diary of a Madman. He was was awesome. I am so glad I grew up in a family that liked this type of music and took me to concerts as a pre/teenager. Greatest guitarist of my generation, in my opinion. I mean he was teaching guitar at 23/24 years old, I think? I mean wow just wow. R.I.P. Randy miss you loads to this day.
I could watch Randy play all day long so amazing! Thanks Fil been watching your pitch correction analysis videos in 2024 and wanted to dig back and see what you had to say about some artists of the past. Love the channel!
I totally agree. I've always said there is something beautiful about Randy's phrasing that is just amazing. Like Mr. Crowley is absolutely perfect. It flows effortlessly like water. Like Edward Van Halen, they both seem to have perfect solos for all their songs.
I think Randy’s playing is so unique and fundamental to fast metal shredding pickers. So much so I have not enjoyed any metal/shredding since then. He picked all the meat off the bones, I guess guys like malmsteen, Vai, Gilbert have their fans, but my taste with metal ended with Randy
VoxPathfinder15R. I like Malmsteen and Vai aswell as Randys. I've never been a Gilbert fan. The only thing I wonder about Rhoads is his untapped potential. We all know what Vai and Malmsteen have done. But, we will never know what RR would have done.🎼
Randy is the sole reason I play guitar , learning all his music has been the battle of my life but now being able to play it somewhat I now need more guitar knowledge to keep getting better and that’s what randy was about but not me at first but now I love learning anything guitar . Thank you randy !!!!!!
Hello , I watch all your video's, I am old now and have seen everything. Randy blew me away, I promise. Randy was on of my favorite players. I watched the best, page,Clapton,blackmoore, Stevie Ray,Gimore, Name it I was there. Randy lives in my heart forever
Randy Passed away 11 days after I was Born, I'm sad I never got to see him Live and hear any future music of his, but I have heard Almost everything he's been part of, and its actually Magical
I can totally understand how transferring the video from VHS to DVD could result in some off-timing between the audio and video. Tape is very difficult because of like you explained Fil, just a bit faster or slower can make it nearly impossible to replicate. Very cool that the Bass player came forward with the answer to our mystery here. And the Marshalls are prop amps possibly, which explains why they appeared to be off. Sleuthing is very cool. Thumbs up!
I seen a vcr tape on ebay back in 2000. Said after hours. Rochester NY. Spent like $20 . Got tape popped it in and finally got to see the man playing live! RIP Randy. You set the metal world on fire for sure!!
I was 13 in '81 when I first heard Randy. Mind was blown. I could play a few chords on an old acoustic guitar. But hearing this, I was pretty sure he was a god.
Hey pegusus, just a FYI, I bought this on beta max tape back in 1983-84 from a little add in the back of Circus magazine. The synchronization your describing happened on that beta max too. So I’m pretty sure the studio basically did not get the Audio tape and video tape matched just like u said. Being a guitar player I noticed those sync issues way back then, so I do not believe it happened transferring to digital if that’s indeed what you were saying. At first I thought he was using an octaver on the triplets part but him not having one on the board cleared that up, yes it’s the keys. Randy was really good at making vibrato sounds with his fretting hand which like u said clears up that issue. I would like to interject one thing. When playing notes high up on the fretboard sometimes the vibrato doesn’t have much affect at all, IMO that’s why on one part of the solo his vibrato was having little to no affect. Wasn’t sure you noticed that. And I agree he was using a different amp out of view hence why we couldn’t see the power lights on. Anyhow, thanks for posting!!!! 👍🏻
Fil I just love your obvious passion for music (rock specifically). You can just see it on your face as you watch the greats. Haha I do the same I suppose. Since you posted this video the other day I've watched Crazy Train, I don't know, and Suicide Solution from this same set. These four guys were ON FIRE!! Thanks for posting Fil.
Definitely one of the great guitar players of all-time. Never stopped learning, always approached it with a fresh attitude, was never afraid of learning a new style or genre of playing, was in love with his instrument and always sought out other teachers on the road to learn something new. That's how you do it kids, along with 10,000+ hours of practice. I still got 9,999 to go, lol. Oh yeah, as far as the off sync thing, that's why among audiophiles the "source material" is so valued and so important. Without that original equipment that made that source tape then you're likely never going to get a 1-for-1 reproduction.
💯 % props to Mr Rudy Sarzo for giving his first hand knowledge of this situation. There’s so much mystery, silence, refusal to admit just how much control and input he (Randy Rhodes) had and what his background for playing was, the level of education, training and raw ability. Randy Rhodes has gotten his due ever since I was able comprehend his impact, prior schooling before BS, Quiet Riot and OZZY catapulted him. Thank you for all you make available. In years to come, I hope he continues to recirculate to new generationsd of astounded fans, gets the recognition he deserves. To say he was groundbreaking doesn’t incapsulate his talent or effort fully.
One of the most phenomenal players and solos. It's also interesting to watch how he often holds his guitar as if he is playing a classical one (neck angled up near his face). What talent he had, gone too soon.
Yay for Randy.....technology can't hold up as good as his playing. Thanks Fil and especially Rudy on this one.....The judge and jury and witness on our little debate.
Love Randy!! Randy was also lucky to have someone as good honest and Noble as Rudy to add.to his legacy. Every interview I see of Rudy he is of the utmost respect and honestly.
I just noticed in this video I'm not the only one who has a smile of amazement when watching Randy play. You said it right "He just had it all". Gone way too soon but will never be forgotten.
I always learn something new in these videos though I know every lick and run by heart. It's great to get deeper insight into my favorite guitarists, thanks!
Excellent video as always mate! Cool that Rudy got in touch and solved the mystery for you! The awesome trills that Randy does he picked up from Tony Iommi to try to adapt his style of playing to kind of emulate the Black Sabbath style that Ozzy was used to. Had the great privilege of seeing Randy play in a small 3,000 seat arena (it was the Blizzard of Ozz tour and Motorhead opened but that is a whole other story!) from the 2nd row on Randy's side and I can tell you that his fingers appeared to be doing fretboard magic. In other words, he was doing stuff that when you heard it you would be thinking to yourself how did what his fingers just did result in the sound that just came from his guitar!?!? which I think may account for at least some of what we see in this video. Hope that makes sense! ...lol. Hey and I've got a question for you...is Randy in your top 10? Just curious.
I see...that's a great point about his age compared to other great players. Never thought about it that way. I will have to think about my top 10 some more. I'm not sure whether he makes my top 10 or not. So many great players! So hard to narrow it down to just 10!
Blake Johnson with only four albums to his credit ( two with quiet riot only released in Japan) Randy paved the way for a generation of guitarists. He has always been and always will be my number 1 guitarist of all time. I put him above the likes of yngwie malmsteen and Alan holdsworth
In addition to the fun conversation, Phil, I want to thank you for giving me an excuse to watch that amazing performance over several times. Not one second of it gets old! It is a brilliant example of those five outstanding artists, at a golden time in their careers.
Hey bro... This is fun!!! Randy Rhoads is my hero and you have gotten me looking at his videos in such a different way! Thank You!!! This cable mystery has got me in a spot... I must think... lol... Thank you for your videos....!
RR is the number one reason I picked up a guitar in the first place...nearly 30 years ago. I've drifted away from metal since but I still love listening to him play. It's not just speed. He has this clever way of throwing in those dirty blues notes along with a super classical style. What else can I say? A great guy gone way too soon. I owe RR my life. Guitar got me through some tough spots and I may never have learned without that inspiration. If I had a TARDIS, seeing him live would be top of my list.
@@geloradananrlyeh8495 Aye, I love me some Doctor Who. I especially love the Tom Baker stuff, but the new ones are good as well. I absolutely loved the Doctor, Amy, and Rory story lines.
@Spot Turtle: I didn’t discover Doctor Who until the 10th Doctor (I was too young before). Fascinated with the idea of time travel, those episodes caused so many flights of fantasy for me. Then Matt Smith became the 11th Doctor, and I so wanted him to marry River Song. My brothers would hit me if I ever said that out loud. He is the Doctor, after all. I rather liked Clara too, but I imagined how I would have behaved differently from her if I were in her place. Perhaps I should watch more of the older episodes. Tom Baker was the 4th Doctor, no? ua-cam.com/video/nqH8j3XLHgE/v-deo.html
@@geloradananrlyeh8495 yeah the 4th... His stuff is the best of the classics imo. You do have to get into the story though as the "special effects" are non-existent. Baker is a great actor though and the stories well written. Douglas Adams was one of the writers and even the head writer or editor for a bit. The whole " don't panic" thing was first used in Baker's doctor. It was a little before my time but as a kid we got reruns on the public Tele station. So he was the first Doctor I had ever seen. All of the new Doctors definitely borrowed from his. He was brilliant and aware of it and let others know it, but he was also childlike and playful. There's no mistaking that all the good Doctors after him were influenced by him. Good stuff for sure. And he was the Doctor for 7 years. There's no shortage of episodes with Baker. I hope you watch it and enjoy it as much as I do.
Yea your right i do see the cord running in behind him and goin off the stage but thank you for taking the time out to make these videos for us i know i learn allot from it and greatly greatly appreciate it and it. I love your channel cause you actually break everything down for us unlike most UA-cam channel's do but another awesome video I've subscribed for a while i just like to go back in the channels im subscribed to and bing watch all theirs old videos lol
That solo just kills me! LOL! The tone! What???? I’ve always loved that pitch he hits with the feedback! It’s the best ...really. No joke. It’s always really got to me. He used the old dist + mxr. That had sooo much to do with his sound y’all. It has germanium transistors...and they really make a difference. So my theory is Randy was a cross between Jimi and Eddie in a weird but simple way. Did y’all hear that awesome organ harmonizing section. Pretty cool huh?! This was what the British call BRILLIANT! I’m floored. The guy was truly blessed!!!! God bless Ozzy!
I stumbled across your channel by chance and just had to instantly subscribe. Honest, truthful. Short accurate technical descriptions of how it really is! I’ve been playing live since the 70s and I’ve had to learn it all the hard way, especially the fact that your reputation especially is judged by your worst mistake! It really brings you down when you come with such good honest intentions and then someone with a ball point pen destroys you with opinions and personal taste! Great channel, unbiased analytically accurate, very interesting and, entertaining! Thanks!
RR is a fucking God. His alternate picking and his outstanding legato is just unbelievable for that time period. RR didn't need to do multiple takes. He's the man. Thanks for clarifying this. 💝👍👍 I was going to say, I used to go nuts trying to learn songs on tape, cassettes. Because, they would either play a little slow, or a little fast on some home stereos.
I have analyzed After Hours... After seeing wingsofpegasus analysis.... I conclude: 1. The "black Marshall" is powered up 2. There are stereo mics at the bottom of the left stack...(black marshall) 3: There are cables going into the White Marshall front end... As will Ferrell says: "we don't know"... lol!!!
After hearing this, would love to hear your take on the final 2+ minutes of "Tonight" from the Diary of a Madman album. I've always felt this was some of Randy's finest work, and one of the best lead solos by anyone, either then, or now.
Many of us learned guitar long before there was UA-cam, the internet or anything, we learned songs by playing a record over and over and over and over again. Now guitar teachers are teaching theory how important do you feel learning theory is? Love your show and great analysis of Randy Rhoads.
A bit off topic but outro solo by Randy is and has been my favorite piece of music for many years. He could go on and on for hours in that groove and I would still be captivated and slack jawed. I truly believe it is a timeless piece on a par with W.A. Mozart
Hi. thank you so much for the Randy stuff.... I will never forget the March 1982 afternoon that came the news Randy Died. I had just seen him 2 months earlier for the second time in 7 months as Ozzy did Blizzard tour and then Madman tour Bam Bam. I was a junior in high school and played several long games of Disc Golf alone - Phoenix Arizona - It was Randy's heart and soul I missed and still miss
United Plankton - very Late 70's, if you look at Triumph and Max Webster. Paul Stanley. It's funny right - the most practical stage wear looks like a baby's little onesie.
What a time. I remember wearing out my vinyl copies of "Blizzard of Oz" and "Heaven and Hell". Randy's mother "Dee" used to write an article monthly, I can't remember where. You can tell he was a small guy like Dio, but damn what a mountain of sound in a small package.
I can't believe people are picking this part still ! Go to Suicide Solution , did Randy mess up a chord and and make a face to his tech so the video would line up with the mess up on the audio tape? I didn't see your first video on this because I know the story from Randy and have talked with Rudy about it ,I thought everyone knew it was a couple of takes ,and Tommy never plays the same ,Randy is the master of overdubs and double and triple tracking everything , so they can mix takes and Randy would be almost exact as,the first . They didn't think anyone but a few people on the East coast would see it. Well,at least you were kind to Randy . He will always be GREAT , as a guitarist and as a teacher and person,I miss him every day .
Welcome to the crazy world of Randy Rhoads "fans" ! I gotta give you a thumbs up for taking this on,and to have Rudy come and set everyone ,again , straight on this . Since this is the best video that has been released of Randy Actually playing with Ozzy,it has been gone over and over since everyone got this in the early 80's! I'm glad your not being torn apart over it! Keep up the good work,I'm gonna subscribe to your channel! Cheers!
You know what,you are right! Very good,I had to try and remember what I was told way back when! And your right about the way he played that part,not many pick that up! Very cool,thanks for that!
Randy was a master of finger vibrato. I mean, "Crazy Train" sounds like he is using a vibrato bar, but we all know he used a hardtail Les Paul to record that.
I saw Randy's last show in Knoxville, Tennessee. The next morning, I was on my way to a freshman college class and heard on the radio that he was killed in the plane crash. I was gobsmacked. I witnessed greatness that night and I will never forget it.
I saw Randy Live in 1982 on The Diary Tour in Detroit. Trust me he sounded like 3 guitars at one time. He was phenomenal and after seeing hundreds of concerts since that day I can whole heartedly say Randy was The Best Guitar virtuoso I have ever seen. He owned the stage with guitar god presence like no other as well. His 2 years with Ozzy was lightning in a bottle. RIP Randy.
Cool!
I totally agree..I myself was fortunate to see him February of 82 when I was 12! Gone way too soon! 🎸🤘🏼
You know your great when you only play on the world stage for more or less a couple of years and after you're gone your considered one of the best of all time.
Saw him in 1981 oaklawn ca
Indeed. Like no other
Love how Ozzy is always looking at Randy in admiration.
Ozzy is looking at Randy wondering when to come in again, because he's drunk.
Didn't know you could read minds. Well done
Who wouldn't...
Randy was a just a cash-cow for Ozzy, ask Bob Daisley Jake E-Lee or Lee Kerslake! Ozzy is a piece of shit!
I love it man!
Really the greatest part of this performance is Ozzy just marveling at Randy playing...that smile, Millions of fans , yet his greatest fan was Ozzy...you cant buy that shit!
True he knows he's got something special
Ozzy loved Randy like a soul mate.
UA-cam 200 proofs earth is not a spinning ball
that's why the moment Ozzy woke up from the noise of the crash one of his first words (from his autobiography) were basically "it's over... it's all over" that shows how much it hit him that he'll never sing along side to a guitarist the world had lost.
@@engelskmann2011 Randy roads is alive and well and living in Miami .... Earth is not a spinning ball in a vacuum.... Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour Amen.
When Steve Vai says Randy did things that had NEVER been done before,
That tells you something.
I'd love to see Vai's take on Randy Rhoads.
The best band Ozzy ever had: Randy, Rudy and Tommy.
I beg to differ. Randy, Lee and Bob!
the original lineup was better honestly.

Bill Mullins. Yeah ! I saw that ! He was almost in awe of Randys abilitys. A big grin on his face.😀
@@jcavazos4145 That's what great front men do. Ronnie Van Zant was the exception. He stalked the stage like he owned it and coaxed every every guitarist in the band to play thier best like the record.
80sGuy Randy did create Ozzy. He came here with no band. No guitar player and found Randy. The rest is history.
Ozzy had zero stage presence. He's a drunk moron.
I been noticing that i alot of the videos ive watched today . It gives me alot of respect for Ozzy too, i remember how i personally felt on this night 38 yrs ago and i never met Randy. Can u imagine having and being apart of this band where even the other members are looking over when Randy is ripping out something theyve never heard before and you all know that this isnt normal , were a part of something we cant even fathom right now ? And you wake up and before the days even begun you hear the unthinkable news that its gone . I cant imagine that . Or that they now had this huge tour to finish.i dont think i could have. So much respect to Ozzy as he somehow ( lots of drugs ) made it thru and eventually found Jake E. Lee
Best part is Ozzy's reaction at the end...you can tell he's still amazed even after hearing Randy play with him for a short while. Honestly though, who wouldn't be? Randy is still one guitarist that can give me chills, even after listening to him for almost 40 years.
😂👍
The thing that amazes me about his solo here is despite playing very fast he is still able to pluck each individual note with a lot of consideration towards intensity, vibrato, and tone. It adds that special bite to the solo that really makes it stand out.
Yeah he was a master at such a young age.
Yes and I'll add Rhoads had good timing, in the he always knows exactly where in each bar he is playing what, despite a lot of changes in the pace of the notes. He can sort of speed up or slow down on note passages and it doesn't sound out of time, at lest not usually. I think that would be very hard to do, and be convincing. Practice obviously!
This young fella felt each vibration and picked out the correct timing on each, incomparable.
@@j_freed very much similar to the way the Allman Brothers band leg speed up and slow down the tempo all as a groupeven while improvising and changing keys all coming back in exactly on the beat following the snare and the hi-hat simply incredible and amazing incomparable and ridiculously awesome!
My best friend in the world is Randy Rhoad's half-brother. I had the pleasure of meeting Randy Rhoads on two occasions during his heyday working with Ozzy Osborne. He was staying at my best friend's house with his father for a two week layover from touring. Randy was exhausted and slept for the first two days! Randy was a surprisingly humble, quiet guy in person. Hard to believe when his stage presence is taken into account. It's just awful how Randy left this world.... :-(
Yeah it was tragic.
JaleelJohanson62. Most musical persons are very quite off stage. SRV, RR, JH, etc.. They leave it all on the stage I guess.
Is it Kelly?
@@billywilliams8753 No. It's Paul. Paul is Randy's father's son from his second marriage. Kelly is Randy Rhoads' full, older brother.
@@JaleelJohanson62 Ok. That's really cool. I'm a big fan of Randy's music and it's my understanding he was a very good person
Randy Rhoads was amazing i could just listen to him play all by himself I look forward to all of his solos. So sorry his life was cut so short. I still have the the album “tribute to Randy Rhoads” that i bought as a teenager. Its so cool that Rudy Sarzo helps to have Randys legacy live on. Thank you for sharing this with us
One of the top 5 guitarist in my book.Gone too soon.He was only in the beginning. Can only imagine if Randy was still with us
Amen.
Wow! I mean you could just see everybody is just blown away by Randy and Ozzy is literally scratching his head like what the F is this! Like he still couldn’t believe how good this guy is! I still can’t believe it!
NICE job on this video! Glad Randy is getting respect like he should. Amazing musician for sure and missed very much!
Thanks! Yeah Randy's a legend.
wingsofpegasus 👍Keep up the great work!
Randy is so good, the tape couldn't catch him, and totally blew Ozzy's mind. Love this footage. Thanks for this break down. Never believed there was anything wrong with it, just could never believe that solo. The ending with the bends always puts tears in my eyes.
I remember when this was first broadcast. I noticed some oddities but at the same time IDGAF. Randy Rhodes was at that time, and still is to this day, the most innovative and tasteful metal guitarist I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. Many will argue with me about that, but will never change my mind.
Amen!
sski I'm in agreement with you Rhoads forever!!!
Well said!!
I could not agree more!
The guy was an artisan, sski
I saw Randy February 5, 1982 in Lansing MI. Still the loudest concert I have ever seen and one of my favorites. Gives me chills thinking about it today.
You gotta love the grin on Ozzy’ s face at the end. He’s in awe of the talent of his band.
Haha yep! He's worked with a lot of top musicians!
Ozzy was basically the weakest link. He wouldn't be "Ozzy" without Daisley and Rhoads. Sharon helped to create and then destroy the song writing machine.
This is the most epic guitar solo ever. An effortless(for him) masterpiece.
look at Ozzy just marvelling at this kid!
😂👍
That bemused look of his is my favorite part.
we all marvel at that kid. did then and today. RIP Rand Rhoads
He was in awe of a guitar God!
He loved that boy. We all did. First time I cried in front of other people since I was 8 or 9 was when my friends and I heard it on the radio while driving
There are only a handful of guitar players that are very unique, randy was brilliant, and the chemistry between him and ozzy was one of a kind, ozzy's dark madman demeanor with randys classical ability was classic in its self, thx wings, you always show how truly talented an individual is!!
Thanks!
Gracias
Yes i agree theirs Randy and Randy and Randy also Randy everyone else can just take a seat
Can’t even imagine the amazing music he would have made if not taken from us way, way too soon!!!!
Amen.
Aquatic Highs he was planning to quit Izzy band at the end of the diary tour and get a masters degree in classical music
I remember when he did Suicide Solution, you can hear the classical influence in the solo.
It wouldn't have been with Ozzy. He was leaving Ozzy's band after his contract with Jet was up. Apparently Ozzy was a mean drunk. Hard to say what he would have done musically on his own.
I wonder if Randy would have gone on to play with Dio or reunited with Quiet Riot
Anybody who talk smack about Randy Rhodes are just upset that there not nearly as good as he is
Haha yeah exactly!
Randy rocks, no one is that good
Ive been a fan since 1987 & between magazines to online comments ive NEVER heard any one say anything Bad about Randy.
Wyatt Johnson 35 years ago some guitar store guy said Randy was just copying Eddie Van Halen. Didn't believe him.
I always felt RR and EVH Each have a very particular sense of musical taste and style, and they both invented their own lexicon of guitar that didn't copy anybody. If anything Randy invented a lot of things that have nothing to do with Eddie's innovations with two-handed tapping,
I trust no human that denies Randy's greatness.
Thank you Fil for your taking the time and lending your production expertise and own virtuosity to this performance from the legendary Randy Rhoads and explaining to us why the differences between video and audio. Thanks to the Legendary Rudy Sarzo for taking time to correspond to you and back up what actually took place at that session as well!
After watching many of Fil"s videos, I'm just blown away with how much information he has to share with us. He really does his homework. Hats off to you. What an intelligent guy.
Randy was one of a kind, No doubt in my mind had Randy lived he would of kicked anyones ass in the Guitar Field !
Yeah I'd agree with that!
Rebel Rocker. I don't think he saw it as competition. He just played because he loved to play. The fact that he was arguably one of the best. Just goes to show his passion for music. 🎼
@@jcavazos4145 Arguably ? Who can argue ? There can never be any argument ! He set the bar, a bar so high that no one can even come close !
Thank you for taking the time to make your videos. I have to say that I’m learning so much from you and I am thankful. Great video brother
No problem!
Randy was and always will be a true guitar virtuoso and innovator. No one sounded or sounds like him, instanrly recognisable#guitarlegend
Randy uses every single guitar technique so fluidly and perfectly, there’s no doubt that some would think that some parts were dubbed in. He is the pinnacle of metal guitar. Let’s not forget his song writing abilities. He wrote all of these classic riffs. All of these classic solos. All of these classic songs. He understood how to build a song into something people want to listen to. He had a real pop sensibility. Just a natural talent for hearing what a great riff or song sounded like. To me he’s the best. The total package. These songs will be played 100 years from now.
👍
In studio his guitar was overdubbed in some moments.
Even Ozzy is still looking in amazing how Rhoads is killing it in the end..
Rudy is such a cool guy. I don’t know him personally. But every time I’ve seen any interviews with him. He comes across as a genuine guy. Humble, polite and all around great dude. For Rudy to respond to UA-cam video so that “ We” the little people can solve our question. Great video man!! And
YEAH RUDY!!!!
Yeah Rudy rocks!
For me Randy will always be the greatest!
Awesome Analysis's! As always Fil... A real pro braking it down & Mad props to Rudy for hittin you up & validating your analysis! What a trip! 🤘
Thanks! Yeah Rudy's a cool cat!
I love this video, it was on a show called "After Hours" I think, when it was aired on TV. I really love the end when Randy is letting his amp feedback and Tommy is going nuts I always thought it looks like Ozzy's looking around at them thinking how great his "Supergroup" is. These guys were magical together.
Yeah Ozzy looks like a fan who just managed to get on stage! 😂
Oh yeah - I saw Randy at a sound check. He sort of walked around with no real intent in his behavior and laid down these effortless and breath-taking runs. You could watch him but he was devious. He'd do things like trills and vibratos and by the time you realized he'd done this, he'd moved on and you missed his technique. Of course, you couldn't go up to him and say, 'Hey, could you do that again?'
😂👍
Why not? He WAS a guitar teacher. He might've shown you how... Of course, you might not have known that at the time, and "bothering" someone you admire can be intimidating, I know.
One of the most iconic pieces of guitar is the outro! Simply amazing!
Hey Fil.. BillyJ south of Pittsburgh. Sorry little late on the reply. I’m blessed that I got to see Randy with the oz. The guy was just phenomenal with his jazzed infused solos... man he was a beast... great die young.. have a great night... thanks
Awesome! Yeah taken way too soon.
For a little blonde bloke hardly taller than his guitar wasn't he a ripper..gone far too soon..RIP Randy Rhoads
Amen.
It’s such a weird visual to me when the gigantic Zack Wilde is in photos with Randy’s clothing and guitars. Seeing how one of Ozzy’s guitar players was so small and another is a mountain of a man. Also amazes me that Randy played Les Paul’s as much as he did considering his size when most smaller guitarists tended to gravitate to Strats.
Why do all the good guitarists die young sucks
Damn, I have to say that all the above comments are epic and I completely agree with them. Pretty damn deep gents!
Oh and yes I was alive when this video was made my bros
No guitarist that Played for Ozzy will be as good as Randi.
If you are not trained in the masters the Lord has to help you to do what Randi did and Ozzy benefitted so, so much.
You can even see Ozzy smiling, saying oh my gosh I am going to be bigger than Black Sabbath with all these young guys around me and Sabbath basically playing slow dungeon music. You see it in his face.
Thanks for all these outstanding I mean outstanding lessons and videos.
Thank you brother.
James.
Fil, I thoroughly enjoy all of your analysis videos and your humble feedback. Keep it up! I'll keep watching them.
Thanks!
Randys solos were songs within themselves. He had a great melodic attitude toward his music. I get the same satisfied feeling listening to them today as the first time I heard them many years ago.
👍
RANDY'S GUITAR PLAYING ON THIS IS JUST THE GREATEST, I CAN LISTEN TO IT A MILLION TIMES IN A ROW, R.I.P. RANDY, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, COUSIN FIGEL
I wasn’t a fan of Ozzy and didn’t know about Randy, but he is really melodic. Like you said previously a great solo is part of the song and you find yourself singing it. It’s seem less with the song. It’s always musical and not a speed test with a click track.
👍
The greatest guitarist that ever lived, both on style, technique, creativity, and skill.... No tricks, beautiful soul, mixed with a melodic mind, coupled with a musical spirit 🤔
Amen.
Dude. Beautifully put.
If you had said “one of the greatest ever” I would’ve agreed, but sorry, brother. Hate to break it to you, but there are literally hundreds since Randy that would smoke him in at least the technique department.
Christian DeBerry note even close to Shawn lane but still outstanding
@@danrebeiz4598 you kind of missed his point. Tell me how many of those hundreds will still be talked about 30 years after their death... tell me how many of them will have songs that are so iconic they are in movies, sporting events and the encore for world tours? We get it... there are guitar technique wizards out there... Berklee and MIT wiz kids but the problem is most of them have no impact when they play. Its fast elevator music. No depth or soul. Randy isnt just an icon because he played the fastest or was the most complex. he's an icon because he's the finest known example of technique, composing, phrasing, song writing, and rock anthems combined into one player to ever exist. Crazy train is arguably the best most recognizable rock song ever recorded. His music has stood the test of time. Very very few players no matter how skilled can say that... there are only 2 or 3 players in contemporary music to be able to make that claim. Eddie, Hendrix, SRV, Beck, Page and randy... that's about the list.
Randy is truly one of .. or the only one .. that is in his caliber of playing .. I was born in 67 .. The first time I heard Ozzy his voice was all his own .. Never in my life had I heard such a distinctive voice .. Then Randy started in with his solo and it blew me away .. So much talent .. When UA-cam started up I was more impressed cause when you watch him play .. Randy doesn't look at his left hand to see where it is .. Its all touch .. I know as every one else that his time here was to short .. But Randy will remain as one of or may be the one Rock guitar god of all time .. Wish I had 1/4 th of his talent ... ... ... Rest in peace brother .. And thanks for posting this issue .. I enjoyed it greatly ..
No problem!
Thanks for clearing that up. I wish they had video taped more of their music and behind the scenes set up. It would make a great documentary.
Yeah it would!
Ozzy looks on in disbelief. GREAT STUFF! Thanks Fil, for this ultimate metal treasure! I was 13 in '81, learning Ironman of course on a Peavy Bandit and a Big Muff and thanks to Randy I've never put it down! Much love from Houston Tx USA!!
Haha awesome!
Man, I've still got a bandit and love the shit out of it's sound. Not to mention you can roll it down the stairs, give it a few kicks, and plug it back in and it still plays fine.
THAT ENDING....Gives me goosebumps every time!!!!! Awesome vid duder🤘
Randy really was on a different level. Saw him also in 82 for Diary of a Madman. He was was awesome. I am so glad I grew up in a family that liked this type of music and took me to concerts as a pre/teenager. Greatest guitarist of my generation, in my opinion. I mean he was teaching guitar at 23/24 years old, I think? I mean wow just wow. R.I.P. Randy miss you loads to this day.
Cool!
I could watch Randy play all day long so amazing! Thanks Fil been watching your pitch correction analysis videos in 2024 and wanted to dig back and see what you had to say about some artists of the past. Love the channel!
I totally agree. I've always said there is something beautiful about Randy's phrasing that is just amazing. Like Mr. Crowley is absolutely perfect. It flows effortlessly like water. Like Edward Van Halen, they both seem to have perfect solos for all their songs.
I think Randy’s playing is so unique and fundamental to fast metal shredding pickers. So much so I have not enjoyed any metal/shredding since then. He picked all the meat off the bones, I guess guys like malmsteen, Vai, Gilbert have their fans, but my taste with metal ended with Randy
VoxPathfinder15R. I like Malmsteen and Vai aswell as Randys. I've never been a Gilbert fan. The only thing I wonder about Rhoads is his untapped potential. We all know what Vai and Malmsteen have done. But, we will never know what RR would have done.🎼
Cool that you came back to this so quick, and that Rudy got in touch as well. Seems like his pic was on every album I owned growing up!
Haha yeah what a legend!
Great breakdown, really appreciate Randy’s abilities
Randy is the sole reason I play guitar , learning all his music has been the battle of my life but now being able to play it somewhat I now need more guitar knowledge to keep getting better and that’s what randy was about but not me at first but now I love learning anything guitar . Thank you randy !!!!!!
Rudy is all over my old guitar mags from. Cheers to him for giving you a shout.
Yeah he's a cool guy!
Stephen Turner read his book off the rails....an in depth look at the two tours with Izzy and an in depth look at Randy Rhoads
Thanks for the book suggestion.
I've read off the railz....great book!
monicajean37 yeah can you imagine Randy out in public with nothi g but a bathrobe on cause he got his ass whipped by a dominatrix???😲😲😂😂😲😲😂😂
Hello , I watch all your video's, I am old now and have seen everything. Randy blew me away, I promise. Randy was on of my favorite players. I watched the best, page,Clapton,blackmoore, Stevie Ray,Gimore, Name it I was there. Randy lives in my heart forever
Randy Passed away 11 days after I was Born, I'm sad I never got to see him Live and hear any future music of his, but I have heard Almost everything he's been part of, and its actually Magical
MajorStaticX He passed away 7 days before I was born. March 26th 1982. Sadly he passed March 19th 1982.
Very cool that Rudy still cares enough about this to get into contact with you! Thanks for revisiting it for us!
No problem! Yeah Rudy is seriously cool!
I can totally understand how transferring the video from VHS to DVD could result in some off-timing between the audio and video. Tape is very difficult because of like you explained Fil, just a bit faster or slower can make it nearly impossible to replicate. Very cool that the Bass player came forward with the answer to our mystery here. And the Marshalls are prop amps possibly, which explains why they appeared to be off. Sleuthing is very cool. Thumbs up!
Haha yeah Rudy helped us get to the bottom of it!
I seen a vcr tape on ebay back in 2000. Said after hours. Rochester NY. Spent like $20 . Got tape popped it in and finally got to see the man playing live! RIP Randy.
You set the metal world on fire for sure!!
love randy roads my fave guitar player
I was 13 in '81 when I first heard Randy. Mind was blown. I could play a few chords on an old acoustic guitar. But hearing this, I was pretty sure he was a god.
Maybe EVH was better, but Rhoads' neo-classical style really appealed to me.
There is no better, only different! Especially talking about the top players, but yeah Randy's classical backing brought something extra.
Hey pegusus, just a FYI, I bought this on beta max tape back in 1983-84 from a little add in the back of Circus magazine. The synchronization your describing happened on that beta max too. So I’m pretty sure the studio basically did not get the Audio tape and video tape matched just like u said. Being a guitar player I noticed those sync issues way back then, so I do not believe it happened transferring to digital if that’s indeed what you were saying. At first I thought he was using an octaver on the triplets part but him not having one on the board cleared that up, yes it’s the keys. Randy was really good at making vibrato sounds with his fretting hand which like u said clears up that issue. I would like to interject one thing. When playing notes high up on the fretboard sometimes the vibrato doesn’t have much affect at all, IMO that’s why on one part of the solo his vibrato was having little to no affect. Wasn’t sure you noticed that. And I agree he was using a different amp out of view hence why we couldn’t see the power lights on. Anyhow, thanks for posting!!!! 👍🏻
No problem! 🤘
Fil I just love your obvious passion for music (rock specifically). You can just see it on your face as you watch the greats. Haha I do the same I suppose.
Since you posted this video the other day I've watched Crazy Train, I don't know, and Suicide Solution from this same set. These four guys were ON FIRE!!
Thanks for posting Fil.
Yeah it was seriously cool this mini performance!
Definitely one of the great guitar players of all-time. Never stopped learning, always approached it with a fresh attitude, was never afraid of learning a new style or genre of playing, was in love with his instrument and always sought out other teachers on the road to learn something new. That's how you do it kids, along with 10,000+ hours of practice. I still got 9,999 to go, lol. Oh yeah, as far as the off sync thing, that's why among audiophiles the "source material" is so valued and so important. Without that original equipment that made that source tape then you're likely never going to get a 1-for-1 reproduction.
👍
Love this!!! Randy was the epitome of rock and changed the face of it as we know it
Amen!
Good Job dude, Like this!
96' USA Randy Rhoads 1 Concorde here.
Thanks!
💯 % props to Mr Rudy Sarzo for giving his first hand knowledge of this situation. There’s so much mystery, silence, refusal to admit just how much control and input he (Randy Rhodes) had and what his background for playing was, the level of education, training and raw ability. Randy Rhodes has gotten his due ever since I was able comprehend his impact, prior schooling before BS, Quiet Riot and OZZY catapulted him. Thank you for all you make available. In years to come, I hope he continues to recirculate to new generationsd of astounded fans, gets the recognition he deserves. To say he was groundbreaking doesn’t incapsulate his talent or effort fully.
One of the most phenomenal players and solos. It's also interesting to watch how he often holds his guitar as if he is playing a classical one (neck angled up near his face). What talent he had, gone too soon.
That one video always gets me, totally hypnotized. Randy Rhoads lives forever !!!
Amen.
Yay for Randy.....technology can't hold up as good as his playing. Thanks Fil and especially Rudy on this one.....The judge and jury and witness on our little debate.
Yep!
Love Randy!! Randy was also lucky to have someone as good honest and Noble as Rudy to add.to his legacy. Every interview I see of Rudy he is of the utmost respect and honestly.
I said it was a late night tv show. I've seen it a few times on UA-cam but never really noticed until you pointed it out. 👍👍👍
👍
Adrian Lee the tv show was called after hours filmed in a tv studio in Rochester ny
I just noticed in this video I'm not the only one who has a smile of amazement when watching Randy play. You said it right "He just had it all". Gone way too soon but will never be forgotten.
That is too cool. Very cool. Thought it was a sync problem. But, wasn't sure with record companies back them.. Rudy is the man.
Amen!
I always learn something new in these videos though I know every lick and run by heart. It's great to get deeper insight into my favorite guitarists, thanks!
Excellent video as always mate! Cool that Rudy got in touch and solved the mystery for you! The awesome trills that Randy does he picked up from Tony Iommi to try to adapt his style of playing to kind of emulate the Black Sabbath style that Ozzy was used to. Had the great privilege of seeing Randy play in a small 3,000 seat arena (it was the Blizzard of Ozz tour and Motorhead opened but that is a whole other story!) from the 2nd row on Randy's side and I can tell you that his fingers appeared to be doing fretboard magic. In other words, he was doing stuff that when you heard it you would be thinking to yourself how did what his fingers just did result in the sound that just came from his guitar!?!? which I think may account for at least some of what we see in this video. Hope that makes sense! ...lol. Hey and I've got a question for you...is Randy in your top 10? Just curious.
Thanks! Well he'd be in with a shout, purely because of his ability compared to his age. Not a lot of players are this accomplished so young.
I see...that's a great point about his age compared to other great players. Never thought about it that way. I will have to think about my top 10 some more. I'm not sure whether he makes my top 10 or not. So many great players! So hard to narrow it down to just 10!
Blake Johnson with only four albums to his credit ( two with quiet riot only released in Japan) Randy paved the way for a generation of guitarists. He has always been and always will be my number 1 guitarist of all time. I put him above the likes of yngwie malmsteen and Alan holdsworth
The look of appreciation and awe on Fil's face wonderful. A true artist not afraid to appreciate others gift and share his own. Bless.
Excellent explanations as to synch and out of synch ,and the vhs to dvd era result.Great second video.Take care Fil.
Thanks Myles, you too 🤘
In addition to the fun conversation, Phil, I want to thank you for giving me an excuse to watch that amazing performance over several times. Not one second of it gets old! It is a brilliant example of those five outstanding artists, at a golden time in their careers.
No problem! Yeah it's from a golden era where the art was the focus, not the money!
Hey bro... This is fun!!! Randy Rhoads is my hero and you have gotten me looking at his videos in such a different way! Thank You!!! This cable mystery has got me in a spot... I must think... lol... Thank you for your videos....!
Haha no problem!
RR is the number one reason I picked up a guitar in the first place...nearly 30 years ago. I've drifted away from metal since but I still love listening to him play. It's not just speed. He has this clever way of throwing in those dirty blues notes along with a super classical style. What else can I say? A great guy gone way too soon. I owe RR my life. Guitar got me through some tough spots and I may never have learned without that inspiration. If I had a TARDIS, seeing him live would be top of my list.
Amen.
I did not expect to see a Doctor Who reference here.
@@geloradananrlyeh8495 Aye, I love me some Doctor Who. I especially love the Tom Baker stuff, but the new ones are good as well. I absolutely loved the Doctor, Amy, and Rory story lines.
@Spot Turtle: I didn’t discover Doctor Who until the 10th Doctor (I was too young before). Fascinated with the idea of time travel, those episodes caused so many flights of fantasy for me. Then Matt Smith became the 11th Doctor, and I so wanted him to marry River Song. My brothers would hit me if I ever said that out loud. He is the Doctor, after all. I rather liked Clara too, but I imagined how I would have behaved differently from her if I were in her place.
Perhaps I should watch more of the older episodes. Tom Baker was the 4th Doctor, no?
ua-cam.com/video/nqH8j3XLHgE/v-deo.html
@@geloradananrlyeh8495 yeah the 4th... His stuff is the best of the classics imo. You do have to get into the story though as the "special effects" are non-existent. Baker is a great actor though and the stories well written. Douglas Adams was one of the writers and even the head writer or editor for a bit. The whole " don't panic" thing was first used in Baker's doctor. It was a little before my time but as a kid we got reruns on the public Tele station. So he was the first Doctor I had ever seen. All of the new Doctors definitely borrowed from his. He was brilliant and aware of it and let others know it, but he was also childlike and playful. There's no mistaking that all the good Doctors after him were influenced by him. Good stuff for sure. And he was the Doctor for 7 years. There's no shortage of episodes with Baker. I hope you watch it and enjoy it as much as I do.
Yea your right i do see the cord running in behind him and goin off the stage but thank you for taking the time out to make these videos for us i know i learn allot from it and greatly greatly appreciate it and it. I love your channel cause you actually break everything down for us unlike most UA-cam channel's do but another awesome video I've subscribed for a while i just like to go back in the channels im subscribed to and bing watch all theirs old videos lol
That solo just kills me! LOL! The tone! What???? I’ve always loved that pitch he hits with the feedback! It’s the best ...really. No joke. It’s always really got to me.
He used the old dist + mxr. That had sooo much to do with his sound y’all. It has germanium transistors...and they really make a difference. So my theory is Randy was a cross between Jimi and Eddie in a weird but simple way.
Did y’all hear that awesome organ harmonizing section. Pretty cool huh?!
This was what the British call BRILLIANT!
I’m floored. The guy was truly blessed!!!! God bless Ozzy!
Amen!
I stumbled across your channel by chance and just had to instantly subscribe. Honest, truthful. Short accurate technical descriptions of how it really is! I’ve been playing live since the 70s and I’ve had to learn it all the hard way, especially the fact that your reputation especially is judged by your worst mistake! It really brings you down when you come with such good honest intentions and then someone with a ball point pen destroys you with opinions and personal taste! Great channel, unbiased analytically accurate, very interesting and, entertaining! Thanks!
Thanks David!
RR is a fucking God. His alternate picking and his outstanding legato is just unbelievable for that time period. RR didn't need to do multiple takes. He's the man. Thanks for clarifying this. 💝👍👍
I was going to say, I used to go nuts trying to learn songs on tape, cassettes. Because, they would either play a little slow, or a little fast on some home stereos.
Yeah it was a nightmare!
Dude this video was awesome! I’ve been playing Randy Rhoads a lot lately. I smashed the like and hit 2800 likes! Yeah way to go dude.
I have analyzed After Hours... After seeing wingsofpegasus analysis.... I conclude: 1. The "black Marshall" is powered up
2. There are stereo mics at the bottom of the left stack...(black marshall) 3: There are cables going into the White Marshall front end... As will Ferrell says: "we don't know"... lol!!!
😂
Something in his playing always touches my soul. He had that 'something'.
After hearing this, would love to hear your take on the final 2+ minutes of "Tonight" from the Diary of a Madman album. I've always felt this was some of Randy's finest work, and one of the best lead solos by anyone, either then, or now.
Spot on. Best guitarmanship ever executed. That outro is marvelous. Words really don't do it.
Dude...I've listened to that outro so many tes and you can't kill rock and roll fadeout a million
Agreed
Many of us learned guitar long before there was UA-cam, the internet or anything, we learned songs by playing a record over and over and over and over again. Now guitar teachers are teaching theory how important do you feel learning theory is? Love your show and great analysis of Randy Rhoads.
A bit off topic but outro solo by Randy is and has been my favorite piece of music for many years. He could go on and on for hours in that groove and I would still be captivated and slack jawed. I truly believe it is a timeless piece on a par with W.A. Mozart
Yeah he brought that classical element to guitar solos.
Hi. thank you so much for the Randy stuff.... I will never forget the March 1982 afternoon that came the news Randy Died. I had just seen him 2 months earlier for the second time in 7 months as Ozzy did Blizzard tour and then Madman tour Bam Bam. I was a junior in high school and played several long games of Disc Golf alone - Phoenix Arizona - It was Randy's heart and soul I missed and still miss
i wonder if Sarzo still has that unitard.
Lol I didn't ask!
Bastard probably still fits in it too. Not that I, a fat fuck, am jealous or anything. Grrrrrr.....
United Plankton - very Late 70's, if you look at Triumph and Max Webster. Paul Stanley. It's funny right - the most practical stage wear looks like a baby's little onesie.
Hey! Band name! Only with umlauts: Ünïtärd
@@spottheturtle9568 my ex still has the wedding dress...she doesn't still fit in it...off topic, perhaps, satisfying, yes!
I saw Randy Rhodes at a Day on the Green when I was about 11 years old. Griffin amazing. Thanks for the memory 😀
What a time. I remember wearing out my vinyl copies of "Blizzard of Oz" and "Heaven and Hell". Randy's mother "Dee" used to write an article monthly, I can't remember where. You can tell he was a small guy like Dio, but damn what a mountain of sound in a small package.
Cool!
Ozzy I think was still in amazement on how awesome his then, new band actually was. He literally marveled at the guitar skills of Randy.
I can't believe people are picking this part still ! Go to Suicide Solution , did Randy mess up a chord and and make a face to his tech so the video would line up with the mess up on the audio tape? I didn't see your first video on this because I know the story from Randy and have talked with Rudy about it ,I thought everyone knew it was a couple of takes ,and Tommy never plays the same ,Randy is the master of overdubs and double and triple tracking everything , so they can mix takes and Randy would be almost exact as,the first . They didn't think anyone but a few people on the East coast would see it. Well,at least you were kind to Randy . He will always be GREAT , as a guitarist and as a teacher and person,I miss him every day .
Yeah I'm glad this is sorted now! People were messaginga me all the saying it was pre recorded 😅
Welcome to the crazy world of Randy Rhoads "fans" ! I gotta give you a thumbs up for taking this on,and to have Rudy come and set everyone ,again , straight on this . Since this is the best video that has been released of Randy Actually playing with Ozzy,it has been gone over and over since everyone got this in the early 80's! I'm glad your not being torn apart over it! Keep up the good work,I'm gonna subscribe to your channel! Cheers!
You know what,you are right! Very good,I had to try and remember what I was told way back when! And your right about the way he played that part,not many pick that up! Very cool,thanks for that!
When Randy comes in in the beginning after the organ intro it is a smashing moment
Randy was a master of finger vibrato. I mean, "Crazy Train" sounds like he is using a vibrato bar, but we all know he used a hardtail Les Paul to record that.
Yeah he had it all!
Guess he liked to finger the g string
Indeed you are right! Randy was a master of vibrato. Sounds just like he’s using a tremolo bar.
