  • AWESOME. Randy was the best.

  • its not about the skill of the riffs and shit. its about the sound that the guitarist can make with those riffs. and randy rhoads was amazing at making awesome sounds from that guitar he played and you can keep going on about who's better and all that shit but in the end it all doesnt even matter. listen to the music and shut the hell up. ty

  • Randy Rhoads, BEST, GUITARRIST, EVER!

  • SUPER LOW V NECK. :O

  • the coolest randy to ever walk this earth

  • @6ftUnder92592 yeah he was.

  • I love Randy, i fucking love him. he is my life!!!!

  • i hate this guy. he is waay too overated. go look at some dimebag and get ya pull off that shit

  • @FraserIsBetterThanYu if you hate God, you are dead.

    

  • @nicolas201014 hey, i said i hate this faggot, not dimebag

  • @FraserIsBetterThanYu look men this "faggot" is my fucking GOD! dimebag is good but Randy is God.

  • @nicolas201014 i just never liked randy rhoads, and dude, ur not gunna convince me to. i dont care how much you like him, let me have my opinion, and ill let you have yours.

  • @FraserIsBetterThanYu Ok but have some respect for Randy he's dead

  • @FraserIsBetterThanYu wow you dont know didley do you? You know Randy could play any guitar classical, acoustic, and electric. not just one guitar. and he died at only 23 I beleive, and recorded crazy train at 21. nuff said

  • @MrPorsche91730 you know i can play classical, acoustic and electric. also some blues, jazz, flamenco. its not a major feat. in fact, it isnt really anything to be proud of. neither is dyeing at 23

  • lol Im sure you can .its funny everybody on the internet say they can do just agbout anything, its just redicolus.and my point was dimebag couldent do any of thet retard I was not alking about you. god dam how do you go from dime bag to yourself lol wow. and my bad I should of said that Randy was a such an anamazing guitarst at such a young age. I mean its hard to beleive crazy train was recorded when he was 21

  • YOU DUDE ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOO STUPID AND HAVE THE MUSICAL KNOWLEDGE OF A PILE OF SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This dude WAS SOOOOOOOO OVER RATED! He just made noise no talent at all

  • In other words what I'm trying to say is Randy's guitar playing is light some one reciting shakespeare and the shred guys sound like some guy talking as fast as he can at a car auction taking bids .

  • It has nothing do with the fact that he died prematurely . Randy understood what it means to play good guitar. Most if not all players now a days don't understand s what that means . They think playing a bunch of notes really fast means you are playing good guitar. IT DOES NOT . Phrasing, harmony . Call and response . look up what that means. It's a blues staple. This is what makes Randy's playing so special !!! along with his great compositional skills

  • no offense to anyone but its kind of like the pac thing, he died and every one treats him as a legend because he died at the peak of his career

  • @reviewsnake No, he'd be every bit as legendary had he lived.

  • @XuliusCaesar you didn't get it, he died at the height of his career and it made everyone think he was the best, ifhe had died today after releasing several crappy albums he wouldn't be as great

  • @reviewsnake how do YOU know he'd release "several crappy albums"? How do you even know he was at his peak? Maybe he has 12 more great albums in him before he released a crappy one, but then again I suppose you mentioned "pac" so I should consider the source...

  • @XuliusCaesar oh well i think he's ovverated

  • @XuliusCaesar Well, I know he COULD release several crappy albums after his peak.

    Metallica. Nuff said.

    (Lol I'm just kidding).

  • he the reason why i play guitar my god of guitar

  • What you guys have to keep in mind when you talk about Randy's playing with Ozzy is that in Randy''s own words " I could do more but it's not my band " Van halen is eddie's band Randy was hired by Ozzy . And he had to play according to what Ozzy wanted. Listen to the two albums there is more playing of the firs album than the second. Ozzy was trying to get songs on the radio not promote a guitar hero. Why do you think Yngwie turned down Dio and David Lee Roth

  • @kennopalus Yngwie and david lee roth? is there a stage in the world that is large enough to hold BOTH egos?

  • FUCKING AWESOME....

    Thank you dude.....

  • The run from 0:09 to 0:13 is perfection

  • Randy does not just simply play solos......he utilizes the guitar as an extension of his body for an outlet of emotion and feeling. Randy is gone but never forgotten.

  • i love randy but i love the blues-rock solos of mr. Eddie Van Halen more!!

  • @EVHrocks1 meh, did you know in an interview evh was actually a dick. Randy asked eddy how does he keep his guitar so intuned before he implemented floyd rose on his guitar. Just a little thing about evh. But evh isn't great any more, he was at his him in 77-88. He died quick, once more extreme guitarist like Vai, Petrucci, Eric JOhnson came into play.

  • @EVHrocks1 Yea *eddie said no to him and not telling* basically shrugged him off, cause fame was getting to him.

  • @ArcAngelRyan but he was an innovator! eddie van halen is stil a fantastic guitar player and he has gotten better ego-wise more recently because he's clean now. alcohol can do a lot to a person and will send you down a spiral staircase of jackass-ness. eddie isn't the most extreme guitar player anymore but that's because he ushered in shredding. he didn't get worse, he helped other people get better.

  • @EVHrocks1 lol yea i see your point, he did incorporate a jazz guitarist finger tapping lick into something much more unique. Which gave other people inspiration to play guitar. I will not take that away from him by all means. He is actually the first guitar idol I ever had. but my musical knowledge and experience widened. It was EVH, Randy Rhoads, Clapton, Ywngie, Jason Becker, then you got Vinnie moore huge influence on my likin to classical. I herd John Petrucci and was just blown away.

  • @ArcAngelRyan Eddie is probably my favorite so far, i'm only 14. i love lifeson, satriani (saw him live), and clapton too. but EVH is probably my prime influenbce.

  • fast approach in guitar now that is lethal !

  • Randy Rhoads is phenomenal..so is Uli Jon Roth of the 70's scorpions .

  • i can almost play this solo on guitar.... but it'll never be the same as hearing randy play it.

  • i maybe 15 but i love me some randy rhoads best guitarist id have to say my biggest infleunce on playin is him

  • he's not human

  • @Daniel777238 neither are jimmy page, jimi hendrix, david gilmour or jeff beck, i think we need some insight into these guys' DNA, no way any of them are human beings.

  • I truly find this one of the most beautiful guitar solos in all of rock. Randy put a level of emotion and technicality into his playing that is sadly an almost unheard of factor in most modern day guitarists. I can only pray that i can hopefully achieve this balance one day and bask in the glory of music that Randy experienced every time he played this solo. We miss you Mr. Rhoads. RIP

  • randy rules

  • my friend looked at this video and asked why that guy was raping the guitar to make it scream, my friend is now six feet under

  • Pleas remember this those of you who are musicians, guitar players like Yngwie malmsteen , Paul Gilbert , Shawn Lane and all the rest of the technically gifted guitarist. It is not the number of notes you play. it is the NOTES YOU PLAY. You can combine every solo of the three guys I mentioned and none of the notes in any of the solos compare with a simple melody like Fur Elise . Eddie too !

  • Hate it or love it Randy would have been the best gutairst there ever was if he never died wen he did dude was a beast and Rolling Stones top 100 greatest guitarist list doesnt even have him on it bs

  • @superlung1 He is on it but at 85 which is horse shit! He is number uno in my book! He was an absolute musical genius! I just wish I could of been born earlier to have seen him play!

  • you guys are not getting it about Randy Rhodes. He was just a good a musician as he was a guitar player. Are you aware in the song flying Hy again Randy changes keys three times when he is doing finger tapping. the bass is as well they follow each other through three keys. You don't do that in heavy metal music . He did because he knew what he was doing . He took what Eddie did and did something Eddie never did with his own technique .

  • @kennopalus Randy was a musical educated ... he played classical guitar ...

  • Any muscician who is true to the art and plays with a combination of melody speed technicality and just pure heart and soul is great musician look at Randy or satriani or santana

  • I just shit my pants.

  • good god...half the the ime he isnt even looking at the guitar. thats skill

  • damn!!! he missed about 2 dozen notes!!!

  • @goofywilly your saying that randy cant play his own song..... he could look at a guitar and be awesome so why dont you fuck yourself

    

  • Best song ever..period crazy solo so easy to play but sounds amazing. All good guitarist die at the start of their career it sucks.. Randy R.I.P

  • even with the wee bit of an open string thats not supposed to be there, it still is freakin AWESOME :D

  • Thanks for the upload. Cut a little short, it was great to listen to and watch!

  • I love his first & last solo

    Hes the greatest guitar player of all time

    Ozzy got lucky

  • I love his first & last solo of this song

    hes an excellent guitar player of all time

  • pussy...the guitar is bigger than him

  • @dilionnis Ok kid your probably like 5. Randy is fucking amazing. Big deal the guitars bigger like wtf who cares? Go back to sucking on your binky and fuck off

  • I know they both can play faster and cleaner than Randy and Dime, but they just dont have the raw intense feeling. For example I do not think Dio is the most talented singer, but his singing is so powerful and moving, in a way that people with a wider vocal range such as Halford could not do. But it all doesnt really matter anyway, the important thing is they all make damn good music, and I think we can all agree on that.

  • ahh he was special.

    it gives me goosebumps.

    Rest in Peace, Randy.

  • Guitarists are NOT gunslingers. It's not about speed, technical ability or who's the FUCKING BEST. It's about Music and the enjoyment of playing and listening to Music.

  • @dirtydonki

    What the guitar playing is about would be up to the guitar player itself..

  • @dirtydonki but u gata admit this guy put the ro in rock

  • @dirtydonki You sir. Are one of the very few smart people in this world that understand the theory behind music. Thank you.

  • @dirtydonki Maybe it's not about the speed....but it's DEFINITELY about the theory....Otherwise, the music wouldn't appeal to you in the first place.

  • @dirtydonki its what its all about... music experimentation doing things others havent done and building off others aswell what i keep telling my friend... that great guitarist probably diddent just start playing lose licks and such, he probably study some shit thought that sounds badass and went to work making his own music

  • @dirtydonki i agree........but randys better

  • Ozzy were fucking lucky to get randy in his band

  • Classical training certainly helps you become a great guitarist i think!

  • V v verrry goooood

  • Супер !!!

  • who gives a fuck who is better at least we have had the pleasure to hear randy and eddie they are both amazing guitarist so stop your bitching you wankers and do more listening........from the jersey boy

  • @chrissyboyize Do more PLAYING is what I usually think in the back of my head... honestly, it's difficult for me to see a real guitar player arguing so much about guitarists/bands like some people on Youtube do.

    It's kind of like arguing over a ham sandwhich and a pizza slice. I'd eat both while two bitches were arguing :D

  • fuck all of y'all and and no dis 2 Eddie but randy fucking powns all motherfucker 3 19 love u randy

  • HAIL RANDY!

  • R.I.P Randy

  • yea, cant get any better

  • D'OH!!!! i wish i could play like that :(

  • definitely not his first solo with ozzy. when he joined ozzy's band, he had a white gibson les paul

  • @yhcnoR First solo in this song retard. Theres 2 solos in Mr. Crowley.

  • @yhcnoR do you know what his first one was?........just to test you.....

  • Remember when you go to your youtube page and there wasn't an advertisement at the top of the page?

    Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO

    Remember when there wasn't advertisements that never go away?

    Remember you couldn't have a limit to favorites?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

    Post this in every video and lets start a youtube riot!

    Thumbs up to keep this at top of the page

  • Aleister Crowley was coooooooooooooooool

  • ALRIGHT!!!!!! THIS IS THE REAL BEST BAND LIST!!!!!!!

    Geezer Butler on bass

    Randy Rhoads on guitar

    John Bonham on drums

    Robert plant(30 years younger) on vocals.

  • too bad heaven's not real... just clouds up there bro :/

  • @russell102493 too bad no eye can see that far!

  • 7 people are crazy....

  • randy rhoads was the best r.i.p

  • @bnbfalcon I don't know what circle of guitarists your in, but I'm pretty sure every guitarist I've met already mentions Randy in the same breath as Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

  • This is the only guitar solo (IMO) that I can truly say is completely perfect in every way.

  • roads death, ozzy was crushed when this happened since randy was new to this business of human poverty being instituted with most everyone and him being one of those who made it though the asteroid belt, but his common sense had not yet landed or he would have avoided the plan ride killing him

  • @rsouthern it wasnt so much as being on the plane , but the idiot pilot trying to buzz the tour bus. The wing clipped the bus which sent the plane into the trees which obviously killed all on board the plane instantly. We lost a great guitarist. Had he lived he would have been mentioned in the same breath with Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

  • I think 270,000 views of the 272,000 views this video has are from me. Randy never seems to dissapoint.

  • vocals: Ozzy

    bass: Cliff Williams

    guitar: Randy Rhoads

    drums: Bill Ward

    rthm guitar: James Hetfield

    Now thats the best line up

  • Hey Im just saying , man

  • 0:15 ?? a fail? or.. i dunno :D

  • @BnJohansen sure not, Randy never failed with a guitar in his hands. I blame the fucking cameras for most of the sound that is very unclear and sounding of garbage.

  • In case anybody cant tell I watch this clip abouts 8 times a day and Randy is still amazing everytime.

  • wow 7 dislikes? 7 people like justin beaver and dont know how to play guitar

  • Randy Rhoads is the reason and inspiration that inspired me to pick up guitar. Got one a few days ago and thats all I been doing. Thank you Randy and may you r.i.p

  • I still have yet to hear a better guitarist than Randy.

  • @Siksaneity77 How about Yngwie Malmsteen?

  • @rockermetalhead1200 How about not

  • @Cook2430 Steve Vai?

  • @rockermetalhead1200 Steve Vai is pretty dam good. Givin the fact of Randy dying at the young age of 25 and being as great as he was and the passion for his music if he was alive today he would be the best or pretty dam close. Steve Vai is a showoff. Satriani on the other hand, thats a whole diff story

  • @rockermetalhead1200 Yngwie sucks ass

  • @janderson2000 I totally agree with u brother man

  • @Siksaneity77 Synester Gates. Sorted.

  • @Siksaneity77 eddie van halen?

  • @wankerpuss IMO Randy and Eddie are the 2 pioneers of modern guitar, Eddie based on Hard rock and Randy based on Heavy Metal. Randy is better for my tastes, But Eddie said once no guitarist can be better than another as we all have our own style and I think thats a great way to see it as.

  • @wankerpuss No, just no.

  • @YouSweatyDieHard yep yep he kills randy any day of the week! Even Randy admitted in an interview that he didnt even know half of the stuff that eddie was doing back then

  • @Siksaneity77 yes.....kerry king....XD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no one can keep a straight face and say that

  • @Siksaneity77 you won't hear anyone better than Randy,

  • @Siksaneity77

    G3 tour...nuff said.

  • @Siksaneity77

    Dime?

  • @bcsk8ter Dime is really good, but Randy is better.

  • @GEDAnkew Debatable,but they are definately both amazing guitarists.

  • @Siksaneity77 You will be waiting for a lifetime. The only person who can touch him is dimebag

  • @moshtastic1993 I agree, I play a Dimebag Razorback explosion, I was torn between that or a Rhodes custom V. Anyways, both phenominal guitarists

  • @moshtastic1993 not true actually, there are alot of guitar players who exceed both dimebag and randy

  • @Shreddur666 I would love to know who you think exceeds them without mentioning the names; Steve Vai and Joe Satriani.

  • @moshtastic1993 so many where to start, like you said satch and via, van halen, hendrix, marty friedmen, alexi lahio, jeff loomis, yngwve malmsteen (by a long shot) paul gilbert, robert johnson (just out of being the father of all modren rock and metal guitarests) jeff beck, slash, chris brodric, theres so many my friend, yes dimebag and randy were greats of their time and style, but to call them the best? not true, yngwve makes them look like ammatures

  • @Shreddur666 well the old yngwie that is, his last album was just shredding the same licks over and over with little emotion. remember his solos on alcatrazz? man, that's where it was at!

  • @Shreddur666

    What do you mean by "exceed" in that sentence? BTW you can't compare different guitarist going by nothing, different guitarist play different things, some guitarist may appear better to you than for another. You can go by tapping,speed, technical ability, but just comparing like that leads to nothing.

  • @Siksaneity77 you must not get out much then

  • what kind o fsorcery is this!!!

  • Why do you want to compare who's better?

    Please just enjoy the music.

  • that last guy in red at 0:40 looked like Michael Angelo Batio... i didnt know he played bass

  • @chunkypooh12 That's Rudy Sarzo on bass. Check out some '80s Quiet Riot videos to get a better look at him. He looks little to nothing like Batio.

  • Man I'm so glad this is on YouTube, the original version just upsets me because the first half is basically on Rudy, no offense to him but come on it's Randy!

  • RANDY FOR EVER !!!!!!!!!

  • damn this is killer

  • Yes sonnic1995 RANDY is GOD.

  • Comment removed

  • My ton 10 Guitarist are.

    Number 3:Kerry King

    Number 2:Gus G

    And Number 1:Randy Rhoads.

    Randy is better of all.

  • @Maniakos1984 Kerry King can riff like a mofo, but his solo's just seem sloppy. Good, yes. Fast, yes. They just lack a certain playing ability. Hanneman is better in my personal opinion. His solo in World Painted Blood was stellar.

  • Randy and Slash are great but Randy is better

  • @alaid257 well slash is.... good.... no ofense, but randy is god

  • I love the way they are playing this song so slow..I bet OZZY said slow it down and it ended up really slow! Randy just looking around wondering wtf? he still makes the solo sound so good. that is his brilliance

  • Excellent, Randy is the best, He play with feeling, and much clarity, Not a big noise like Zakk,

  • Jesus ain't got shit on Randy. ;)

  • he is a god!

    no one in the world play so PERFECT like randy rhoads!

  • Is it me or does Gary moore's playing sound like Randy?

  • @sixstrings209 yes because gary moore and randy were both influenced by clasical music that makes it sound so awesome randy was a master guitar player

  • @emotivelooser actually randy got into classical music when he was with ozzy(early) but the person who most influeced him(besides his mom) was alice cooper

  • I was lucky enough to meet Randy Rhoads as he and Ozzy arrived at The Edinburgh Odeon for a Blizzard of Ozz gig. Still got the signed ticket and program...will be hanging onto them!!

  • @gh103 That must have been SOME show... I saw Ozzy in '83 at the US Festival...Randy was missed tremendously.. What a pure tragedy! You are luck you got to meet him!! Are you from Edinburgh? I just spent about a week there -- a few weeks ago and traveled all over Scotland- BEAUTIFUL country and lovely people!

    Peace... Leesa

  • i have 2 of those marshall cabs ;D Rip Randy.

  • @MikeLamb24 sarcasm.

  • such a little dude to rock the shit everytime he plays

  • the band in heaven:

    John Bonham - drums

    Cliff Burton - bass

    Randy Rhoads - lead

    Dimebag - ritm guitar

    Dio - Vocals

    I can't make a band with every musicians on heaven, i don't want a big band like Slipknot ok? So if you start to say: Oh dude you forgot this and that, FUCK OFF!

  • @RigorMortis203 Not hating or anything, but if you wanted to make that list more metal, you should put James "The Rev" Sullivan as drums.

    Also, i would just make Dime and Randy just Guitars, considering they would just shred on and off destroying the faces of the innocent.

    Again not hating, just saying :)

  • @RigorMortis203 I don't heaven could contain the epicness of the band you just described

  • @RigorMortis203 and the other band

    Jimi Hendrix: Vocals, Guitar

    Jaco Pastorius: Bass

    Keith Moon: Drums

  • @RigorMortis203 killer lineup!

  • @RigorMortis203 killer lineup! oh and I like ur username haha

  • Comment removed

  • @RigorMortis203 heres the opening band for that band in heaven:

    The Rev - Drums

    Paul Gray - Bass

    Stevie Ray Vaughn - Ritm Guitar

    Jimi Hendrix - Lead Guitar

    Kurt Cobain - Vocals

  • @710ble

    were u just randomly picking dead people? cuz thats gotta be the shittiest band ever. the rev and jimi hendrix? and kurt singin? wtf?

  • @rodrigo200242338 No, I was selecting people based on talent level! Go to Taco Bell and think about that one!

  • @rodrigo200242338 So are you saying Hendrix sucks?

  • @710ble ...no

  • @710ble no heres the hevan band me as drumer randy as lead guitarest zakk and regular guitar the dude in red ans basse and ozzy as vocals :)

  • @RigorMortis203 jimi hendrix guitar

    

  • @RigorMortis203 IS DIO DEAD OMG

  • @RigorMortis203 why is dimebag the rhythm guitarist???????and put jimmy sullivan on drums.

  • @RigorMortis203 Not gunna lie that would be beastly ass band. Me personally although John Bonham is prolly one of the best drummers ever I would put Ingo Schwichtenberg from the original Helloween line up just because it seems to be a heavy metal line up. Great choice though.

  • @DioandMaiden Or The Rev :)

  • @RigorMortis203 hey dude you forgot Jim Morrison!!! :P
