  • brad did a really good job, i liked his live guitar sound to, randy is so talented, to have written those songs, nice to hear this, first time, i am used to hearing brad do this, a great little piece,

  • 2.50-Diamond Head Am i Evil solo ...

  • Its just crazy how awesome he was... love ya Randy!!!

  • RANDY W. RHOADS WAS the best and ALWAYS will be. its a shame that there is not a modern guitarist that comes close too Randy's Passion and SKill when it comes too the guitar. Randy DID it PERFECTLY

    LoL thats all i got too say.

    P.S. GOD BLESS RANDY RHOADS

  • This guy is the best I have all of his guitars I worship him.

  • Everyone is talking about Randy, I love randy with all my heart and worship the ground he walks on but listen to Tommy! DAMN!

  • @MrMeddled to me it sounds amazing and this sounds live

  • Possible overdub at 2:57....

  • Jake E. Lee, in my opinion, has a broader range than Zakk Wylde. Randy's awesome power to me, was I felt like he knew the guitar neck so well, he could play whatever he wanted and have it be in key. That meant fresh performances every time he played, almost like Hendrix...but uh...different.

  • Whoever disliked this video has no soul and no sense of rock n' roll

  • Randy Rhoads was not only a huge influence on my guitar playing he changed the course of Rock/Metal music. I can only imagine the incredible music we have all missed out on. 30 years later people are still enjoying your music. A true Guitar God stands the test of time. R.I.P. Randy

  • Ozzy's been blessed with good guitar players all the way, Randy Rhoads, Jake E Lee, Zakk Wylde, and now GUS G... I mean it's hard for GUS G to keep up the torch as the other guys did.. Randy rhoads? I mean, poor jake e lee for trying to fill his shoes..

  • Randy rocks \m/

  • everybody copies from everybody no one is better its a matter of personal choice

  • If your arguing over this solo, your missing the majesty that is Randy Rhoads playing above.

  • to be a good guitarist you have to sound good. randy sounded fucking amazing. guitarists now skip the sounding good part and jstu play super fast. so you can argue about whos a better guitarist all you want but thats all that matters.

  • all you guys that wanna bash zakk and make jake e lee 2nd behind randy its bs zakk never copied randy. listen to lighting strikes jake copied randys crazy train riff and zakk has more respect for randy than that zakk is by far a better guitar player than jake he never copied any 1and put it on an album jake cant say that another reason zakk is better than jake he never fell of like jake did so please stop bashing zakk hes not as good as randy but who is at least unlike jake he has respect for RR

  • @ozzyrrv420 Are you serious? Considering their primes, Jake was an immensely better guitar player. Ozzy told Jake to write in the style of Rhoads during his time in the band. Ozzy didn't give him the creative freedom that Rhoads and Wylde enjoyed. All that aside, Jake was better than his replacement. Jake never disrespected Rhoads.

  • @CotierW i think copying someones music is kinda disrespectful especially if there dead and cant say shit about it. and like i said zakk is still around in the music world what happened to jake no 1 knows as far as i heard hes in canada somewhere. and come on trying to blame ozzy for what jake did ozzy don't have the guitar in his hands he just listens to them play and tells them what he thinks that's how ozzy always is with his guitar players

  • @CotierW rhoads is way better jack off look at jake e lee now drug addict alchy playing with some gay ass band

  • @reapertcm I wasn't making a comparison between Rhoads and Lee, dumbass. It was between Wylde and Lee.

  • @reapertcm I think jackoff is one word,or you could pronounce it jagoff like we do here in pittsburgh.anyhoo randy was a great player and is missed!

  • @PurpleSnowFox Thank you very much friend!

  • 1 person thumbed this down = 1 person has liquid monkey turds in his ears and ought to be raped by a gas powered hedge trimmer without mercy.

    Cha! 

  • Sorry but I love Randy and all..but Zakk plays solos all day like this in BLS.....he had a good mentor...

  • okat does anyone here the differnt tone changes at 1:50 then at th e drum solo it changes........not a true copy.........and that a totally diff sound from Randy......this is good but not all Randy

  • Who wrote this masterpiece?

    

  • @rallyivan1234 sorry was me

  • Randy - GOD

    Jake - Epic

    Zakk - Good But Annoying

    Gus G - Are you fucking kidding?!

  • @GuitarShredFilms Dude thats awsome, I fuckin love it man!

  • Pinch harmonics huh? That's probably why Ozzy hired you to play guitar.

  • Randy - God

    Jake - Fucking Awesome

    Zakk - Bullshit

  • I love his bone-crunching sound. I've never heard anything similar!

  • Also, let us not forget that Randy was also learning classical guitar, (which is a very technical style), before his death. He never had sloppy technique. He was a very accomplished and astute guitarist. In the studio Randy would mic his amps at different distances from the cabinents. This could make it sound sloppy, but the desired effect was to make his sound more full. No one has ever been able to copy his sound. I wonder what his playing would be like if he were still alive today.

  • I believe that most people forget that Randy was playing like this in the late 70's and early 80's. Absolutely no one could play like this then. Eddie Van Halen wasn't even a close 2nd. Too many people compaire his playing to many guitarist of today and don't take into account that there has been almost 30 years of progression since his death. So much of Randy's work influences many of today's guitarists. He's still one of the guitar greats.

  • golden

  • if rondy didnt die he wold way better than hendrix

  • Randy had sloppy technique in reality, but had he lived i think he had more imagination that Van Halen in a compositional sense, so he probably would have gone onto do soundtracks etc... larger scale works. THere are many more technical guitarists than either Van Halen or Rhoads out there.

  • @RaymondFRevalee Randy did not have sloppy technique. I have no idea where you imagined that from. There is so much delay and effects on this recording that it does sound a bit sloppy, but listen to Tribute and watch the After Hours videos. There's no sloppiness there. On his studio albums he doubled his guitar solos to make them more full. When there's two or three passes over the top of each other yeah it may sound like it's kinda sloppy, but I believe he had precision technique.

  • @RaymondFRevalee your a joke dude don't listen to the man then disrespect him like that and sloppy randy is not your pussy.ok guy he was a musician in the true sence of the word and for you to say that is retarded if you don't know what your talking about then don't comment and you don't or you wouldn't have said what you did. and find me a better guitarist than him its wait don't try you'll just be wasting your time cause there is none

  • Randy Rhoads > Eddie Van Halen

  • If this man were alive today we wouldnt be so hyped up on Mr. Eddie Van Halen because these two men would have brought out the best in each other and lets face it Randy was a musical virtuoso and Eddie was a fast and crazy guitarist but when you hear their guitars the best is Randy case and point.

  • I absolutely love the band jam. It's weird hearing Brad Gillis do it a few weeks after Randy's death. A lot of people don't like Brad Gillis but imagine what he did for a minute. He learned every Randy Rhoads riff in two weeks, including the band jam and went out on stage and didn't miss a thing. I mean of course he's not Randy and i don't care for his style but I have spent years trying to learn Randy's riffs and I am still not there yet.

  • @vaibanez17 thats a great point

  • @vaibanez17 It was some hard shoes to fill. Gary Moore played one show and so did Bernie Torme. Brad is one heck of player. His Night Ranger stuff is good. 

  • you know i probably would have made this concert... but i was like 28 years off :( i live like 2 min from minneapolis

  • randy is my hero...R.I.P... so is curt cobain... bt not as much as randy

  • I agree with the pinch harmonic comment. it get old quick.

  • Awesome version of this solo. I'm a happy person right now. Thank you for posting it.

  • only if i was born at the time to come and see him in concert

  • This is killer.

    I just thought how amazing it would have been to have been able to see him trade licks with another guitarist.

    A Chris Poland, Paul Gilbert, or Bruce Bouillet type.

    Or just to hear what he would have done after being w/ ozzy.

    Thanks for the vid.

  • omg why isnt randy around today he would have put everyone to shame never will forget

  • this guy revolutionised metl,the man was a god,and they took him back.r.i.p randy.thank you for the music.

  • rrr randy rhoads rules

  • randy > jake > gus > zakk

  • Saw them in St. Louis about a month later. Never forget this, thanks for the memories.

  • Thank you for putting this up. It is excellent. When the drums kick in u hear Randy's super melodic sense & actually a first glimpse of neo-classical shred that will invade heavy music.

  • zak couldnt be a pimple on randys ass

  • LOVE THIS SHIT!!!

    Make no mistake, this was the peak of Ozzy's career, even counting Sabbath. He was at his very best and easily had the best band of his life and the most inspired songs of his life at this time!!

    Think about what the world was going through at the time (disco recently dead, new wave popular and metal emerging) and you can easily see how brilliant and foward thinking this band was!

  • Sounds more like a written segue than a jam but it is way cool nonetheless

  • I love the band jam, this is awesome.

  • wow that drummer is sick for old double bass he knows how to work it

  • @DrummerboySoto Yup. Tommy Aldridge is a great drummer.

  • @DrummerboySoto Tommy Aldredge... was one of the true rock pioneers in the type of music...... A lot of that drum solo, was bare handed and knuckles

  • @jfrockon sweet, kinda like wat bonham did

  • @niggerbutcher666 Great name LOL

  • My mom was two months pregnant when this show was in town, so theoretically, I was at this concert :P

    Randy Rhoads was and always will be amazing :)

  • i dont care for Randy's live tone too much. Don't get me wrong, he sounds amazing but his tone was better in studio. The tone here sounds particularly bad, so perhaps its just the recording. Either way, I liked his sound when he was using his Peavey a bit better than when he began using his Marshall.

  • @KarimisFan dont jnow what your talking about

  • @niggerbutcher666 huh? it was just an opinion lol. i cant really be wrong since its an opinion, i was just saying i like his studio tone better.

  • @KarimisFan The reason the sound be a little wierd is because its old and probably not professionaly shot plus it's not edited, just raw audio. Anyway, the sound isn't bad... to me it sounds great, but that's my opinion.

  • @buzzsaw177 well whatever it may be, I should not be too picky. There is so little RR footage out there, so I'm just grateful for what we do have. And I appreciate people like "killingsense" for keeping these tunes out there. On my channel I have also uploaded a bit of Randy audio that I noticed was not on youtube, for all of you Randy/Ozzy fans.

  • @KarimisFan Yup. Thanks for the audio

  • Zakk is actually amazing. Listen to "farm fiddlin", incredible country hybrid picking.

  • you fucking faker, delete this horseshit

  • Randy is supreme as usual. Tommy Aldridge is one of the most underrated drummers ever. In the early solo days Ozzy (and Sharon) had a real knack for getting the right talent. Good times. Cheers

  • randy is awesome :)

  • omg this just makes me blown away

  • This is the real Ozzy!

    Zakk is just embarrassing and plays a pseudo nu-metal style which is both boring and annoying, especially with all of those pinch harmonics. He bastardizes Randy's masterpieces.

  • @KarimisFan thats what i always say and people just go like "oh he made it better" or "he is way better than Randy" they havent even heard the real Randy or they dont have any taste in music.

  • to many sqeels zakk

  • I knew I should have never given this tape out to anyone!This better not be the guy who PROMISED he would never let this get out publicly!

  • @mdskewes rofl

  • wow ya'll know randy rhoads is dead right?!

  • They gave you thumbs down so I think the don't know.

  • No Zak is sweet and new Ozzy couldn't just keep trying to replace jake he went the route of like a more melodic pantera or at least tried to

  • Zakk Wylde makes me not even wanna listen to Ozzy anymore

  • i agree hey but look at thwe bright side he just quit playin with ozzy

  • Randy then Jake, that was Ozzy only decent guitar players, Zak gets an honorable mention but he wears you out with all the pinch harmonics!

  • @LoudToyz sweet comment

  • @LoudToyz NO

  • @LoudToyz the pinch harmonics get really annoying

  • @LoudToyz You call Randy "decent?" WTF

  • @LoudToyz it depeneds with taste the albums with zakk spanned more styles the late 80s ones were cool as hell zakk is a modern guitar god and an icon randy would be proud of the role he had to take

  • @LoudToyz what about brad? i know he just did speak of the devil but it was AWSOME

  • @LoudToyz And, if you would, Include Tony Iommi

  • @LoudToyz Randy did non stop harmonics too live...so good brain!

  • @fadetoblack1290 no he didn't. he did harmonics well, unlike zakk

  • @jacoblroark He did them well...hmm, you mean how he would go severely out of tune with them, unlike Zakk? You uhh make sense!

  • @fadetoblack1290 he didn't have the equipment that zakk had. you don't get a say because if their was no randy, there would be know crazy train for zakk to ruin, and ozzy would most likely not even have a career, he'd be the old burnout from black sabbath. so fuck off! u don't know what the hell you're even saying. U can't make Randy seem less than any one. Imagine what he could do had he not passed.

  • @jacoblroark A) Capitalize Randy's name

    B)Randy is my favorite guitarist

    C)Zakk doesn't come close, he is just better at squeels

    D)Equipment has NOTHING to do with it, and even if it did, Randy had SUPERB equip

    E)Randy did a lot of whammy squeels, Zakk does pinches

    F)get checked for down syndrome

    G)Yep!

    H) You're uhhh smart!!!!

  • @LoudToyz The new guy Gus G nails it though no one can replace RR.

  • RR was the best player ever to live in my opinion. Zak and all the rest suck.

  • actually, after the contract with ozzy went up, Randy wanted to pursue a classical guitarist dream, and open a guitarist school

  • I wonder if Randy knows how much all of us love him. He wasn't just a great guitarist, he was a musical genious.

    I wish he was still with us, but then again after reading so much on him... he'd probably not even be in a band now, he'd be giving classical lessons in a studio somewhere.

  • @georgeisupset

    I would like to think Randy would have come back after Ozzy's two albums with Jake. :D

    It would have been just perfect in my opinion. Gus G just doesn't cut it, and don't even get me started on Zakk. If you take away "No More Tears", Zakk did not make one even halfway decent album in 20 years with Ozzzy, while Randy made the two greatest hard rock/metal albums of alll time in 1/10 of time.

  • i agree with you haha randy rhules =)

  • thank you someone agrees with me about zakk

  • yea i read the randy rhoads chapter in ozzy's book and the night before he died randy told the band he didnt want to be a rockstar anymore and he was arguin with ozzy that night about ozzy's drinkin habits

  • you feel better about yourself now jerky?

  • Rhoads Died March 19th 1982. Artards.

  • Thank you for this music brotha.

  • rhoads died in 81

  • 82 not 81

  • can you send me the Audio File, or the URL for where you got it? I know somebody who said if I could find a song without a tab, he'd tab it for me

  • btw...the last half of Tommy's drum solo is his infamous 'hand-drum solo!' NO STICKS!!!

  • Happy birthday Randy...you are not forgotten sir!!!

    One of his best 'bootleg' recordings EVER!!!

  • happy bday

  • Randy is completely awesome! One of the best guitarists that has ever stepped in this planet IMHO. I like the drum solo too, Tommy is rocks!

    RIP Randy... Only the good die young

  • we were blessed with his talent in the short time he lived and we'll always be grateful for the music he gave us. Had he remained with Ozzy and not died he would've toured throughout 82-83 and then split because he wanted something else....sucks.

  • He was going to record the "Speak Of The Devil" Cd, record one more studio album and be on one more tour and that was it, he was going back to school to get his masters degree in music. He was an awesome player and human-being and we were truly blessed with his talent. So sad it had to end so soon!

  • cool right. randy forever!!!!

  • didnt he not want to record speak of the devil, thats wat him and ozzy were fightin about

  • Yeah but at the end he agreed so that he could be closer to fulfill his contract and go and study music.

  • ohhh ok...didnt know the ending part. even if he wasnt recording his music, he would have torn up the speak of the devil songs. For example, children of the grave/paranoid etc.

  • Actually, While Speak of the Devil ended up being all Sabbath Remakes and covers, It would have been nothing like the way it turned out. Randy never liked doing Sabbath. Does anybody have the tab for this song? (The suicide jam)

  • Amen Tully,

  • Randy dies...and C.C. Deville lives. Where's the justice?

  • what people have to remember is that randy was only 25 years old when he died. to many people he was still just a kid, and he had only just gotten started with all of this. i read in an interview once that he wanted to come up with something on guitar that no one had ever done before, but said that it would unfortunately take him awhile. in my opinion if he would have lived another 5 to 10 years i think he would have achieved his goal and changed the music landscape even more dramatically.

  • he is te best.WHY HE HAD TO DIE?!

  • the solo on tribute was actually off a king biscuit radio broadcast. and if you do some research you can listen to it off the king biscuit website. pretty good quality.

  • thank youuuu. most people dont know that and they come off sounding very stupid when they say it from so and so. Btw i think the king biscuit flower hour should have been used for tribbute. it shows more of what randy was all about

  • Man that site is a goldmine!

    Thanks alot!!!

  • You're right about that. From what I've heard from most Rhoads enthusiasts is that his solo from Tribute was edited and doctored mildly and that his solo didn't really come off sounding at all like it sounded for Tribute. But who knows anyway. Food for thought I guess. I wasn't there, so I'll leave it at that. I really wish they would release some official live video/dvd footage from the Rhoads era. Come on Sharon!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I have the "tape" (wow that's going back for ya) of the bootleg tour that the tribute solo came from. It is exact. What tribue IS NOT, its continuous show. It is made of of several different shows.

  • There is some from two on the town, entertainment tonight, and Rock Report the guys from the documentary are trying to get all the footage from the tv studios if they havent been reorded over

  • Great, I never heard this either. Randy then Tommy

    frigging solid. I can't believe I never heard this!!

    I give it 10

  • wanna know something that is pretty sad. is that Tommy couldn't create very well. wen ozzy wen to record bark @ the moon, they got vinnie appice to record and tommy to tour. ozzy didnt like tommy's playin. i'll tell yea another 1. u know the drum intro to 'over the mountain" that came from quiet riot drumer, frankie banolina. him, dana strum, r/r were goin to b n the band. but they could only take 1 american & randy was the chosen 1. but ozzy had a bass player back home. bob daisely

  • cool,

    believin13

  • Tremendous!!! I have never heard a tape of this show but he was great this night!  Very solid. Thanks for posting it-- great quality.

  • Fantastic.

    Grandma mary

  • what effects is he using. its not just normal distortion. is it an echo?

  • That's called 20 years of tape crumbling away.

    ... but to answer your question [ to the best of my knowledge ]

    Custom V -

    MXR 10 band EQ -

    MXR Distortion + -

    then split two ways to Marshall 1950 leads

    [ Roland echo Rack Effects ]

    However, This grade of echo wasn't played when the TRIBUTE recordings were made... Most Likely because it sound way to fucking much like Quiet Riot.

  • yeah i thought it was an echo. but it sounds real cool cuz it sounds a little bit like hes on his rythm switch but its not ya know...Thanks alot tho it helped

  • I think he is using a phaser. I got that on one of my multi effects pedals and it sounds close to that or he could be just using a little bit of flange.

  • alright thanks

  • can u send me the mp3 for this

  • do u mind if i kick your ass u dumb shit!!!!!!

  • ps i would like if u just shut the fuck up! its about the sound.. fucking moron

  • MAB can out play anybody

    But can't write worth crap

    Randy's songs had soul

  • And besides that Randy was an inspiration to MAB and not the opposite :)

  • Randy is better than anybody i have ever heard.. MAB plays fast... and? If u want fast play check out great kat.. she rips MAB's face, but sounds like shit.

  • Great Kat is a joker....

  • ...MAB is the one doing a crazy train tribute to randy so shut the hell up

  • hey pussy, randy was an inspiration to mab. mab was a huge fan of randy rhoads. u think he can beat randy the metal god? mab is fast, well randy is both fast and good. he iis godly.

  • I think I just popped a boner out of the pure beastliness that was just emitted from my computer.

  • Saw RR in 1981 in 81 / Def L . The man had different prescence than others, besides the crazy sound he was making!!!!! I know 10 guys that can outplay him. So what, he was a star before he died. Top 10!!!!!

  • whats this song called? is it on the tribute album and whats the name?

  • Its just a jam and its not on the Tribute album unfortunatley.

  • you are wrong it is on the tribute album

    this song was originally called laughing gas(with quiet riot) the song is in the middle of Suicide solution from the Tribute album

  • Actually, the solo part is, however i believe he was talking about the part around 2:00. Laughing gas is quite different from that.

  • randy did a new part of the solo each time he played

    he made the solo different each time

  • Pure perfection of the guitar! Randy had it and he could play anything, and if i read correctly this was all improvised before the show in about an hous work, only one hour and randy managed a 4 minute solo that has been the greatest i have heard! Randy Rhoads perfected his playing to such a level that very very very very few see, so far only 3 total know this. Randy Rhoads, Michael Angelo Batio, and Ynwie Malmsteen. Suchand Amazing level but only Randy had it, no one will match Rhoads!

  • Michael Angelo! Malmsteen! HAHAHAHA what is this, 1985? Those two were jerkoffs, one playing soulless scales really fast with no musicality whatsoever-so who cares-and Malmsteen a Blackmore ripoff w/o a shred of subtlety or originality...more 80's flash and trash long gone and best forgotten

  • as much as today is a sad day because of his death. it also makes me remember the great life. wish you were still here buddy. keep rockin.
