  • doug fuckin rocks!

  • i cant find this amp

  • 19 people think they can play better than Doug !!!

  • what a master

  • Im being completely serious when i say this. i heard Ronnie james dio sing rainbow in the dark on gibsons fan page on facebook because i was bored. and i fell in love with that song!!!!!!! i was so stunned by its brilliance and how i had literally NEVER listened to them before. never bothered to look them up. then i saw a vid of doug aldrich and Ronnie performing rainbow in the dark and looked up more Doug and i have fallen in love with his style. it is JUST LIKE MINE!! :D i look up to RR alot..

  • Why is everybody trashing Nick? He's just a passionate dude. Got to meet him around 1999 at GC in Boston. Very cool dude. Gotta admit that his chops arent what they used to be when he played in Grim Reaper back in the day.

  • if you stink you'll still stink but with a better tone . HAHAH lol

  • do marshall pay bald bully boy twats like him?what a nob. marshall can shove there amps up baldys arse cos i aint getting one.

  • what a dick. makes me want to never buy a marshall ever again

  • Hey bald guy..Do me a favor and shut the fuck up!!

  • dat betcha can't play this riff

  • it is a crime to have a wall of amps behind you and play that quietly, haha, no but i get that namm has their stupid noise regulations. Although I'm more than positive nobody at namm doesnt want to hear those amps cranked.

  • if you pause at 1:23 you can see Randy's family

  • Nick Bowcott is an Ass! he's as funny as a hernia!

  • Allen Coates/ Broken Man, Youtube. Its pretty cool! Check it out! Doug Aldrich is one of the all time greats! Everyone pay respect, he deserves it.

  • 19 dicks suckerss

  • I would rather spend 1/2 as much on an American made product and not have to listen to this idiot just to spite him - Go Carvin. The guitarist in this vid is a fukin genius......that shit was awesome.

  • He's talking to the IMO dicks who wear their pants hanging down so you can see their butt hanging out! These new breed of rock bands are a disgrace to the true form of players like Rand Rhoads and Doug Aldrich.

  • I don't get it??? Randy Rhoads studied classical guitar he had melody and didn't play like his hair was on fire and the chickens escaped from the barn, these guys play too fast and don't let the notes ring out. There's tons of people that can play faster than Randy Rhoads but they get their heads shat on because Randy makes every note count.

  • who is the asshole at the begining of the video

  • Haha the guy from Grim Reaper haha. He never really was a great player. But Grim Reaper kicks asss.

    Anyways, Doug Aldrich fuckin rules.

  • nothing worse than a smart ass bald limey idiotwho not funny at all.Doug was great too bad the mic set up sucked because the amp sounds much fatter than that.

  • The bald guy is Nick Bowcott, he used to play in a band called Grim Reaper. Check out "See You In Hell" to see that he could actually play at one time. Doug Aldrich rules!

  • sei fatastico fratello, anche se ogni tanto potresti fargli far due fischi al mio amico,,,,,,

    che se ti acchiappa con la pancia piena ? come la mettiamo poi?????

    komunque se ti becco ti regalo un paio di jeans che li vende sui banchetti un mio amico,,,,,,e stai tranquillo che quando coverdale te li vede te li strappa via ! stai tranky fratello che ci si becca prima o poi !

    un saluto in casa ai bimbi !

  • Hahaha!... spot the little old woman checking out Dougs awesome playing at 1:24

  • @PeteShredz that would be randys mom.

  • @darthhull85 Wow!! Its cool that she`s rocking down at the front.. Randy would be proud.

  • The Bald guy is a Hack!

  • 1:23 grandma's next purchase the 1959RR xD

  • @Chaos23x dude, thats randy's mother, she is Dee :p

  • @1LetThereBeRock1 Oh really lol (I don't know that much about the Rhoads', I stumbled upon this demo) I thought it would be funny to comment though :)

  • steve wilkos ftw!

  • the gain on these amps... just sounds fucking weird. hate to break it to you Rhoads-heads but it sounds nothing like a tube amp.

  • @MrNixon79 If it doesn't sound like a tube amp you really have no clue as to what a tube amp sounds like. I've had one of these for 3 years now and it has more tube tone and harmonic content than any other tube amp I've owned. It's pure Marshall Superlead. You also can't use the sound recorded by a video camera to judge an amp.

  • @runabout76 hey man, no need to start a scrotum-weighing contest, but that thing sounds like a solid state Randall. I know that that video is poorly recorded, but that distortion tone just sounds like bunghole. if anything, you're the one lacking a clue.

  • i saw miss's rhoads ^.^

  • Cmon play some of randy's stuff ! >< ahhhhh....

  • How about the bald dick at the front walks out the pissing building, and lets the people hear the product they're interested in, arsehole.

  • SOUND REALY TINNY?

    SHIT ALLMOST.

  • How about all Limeys get the hell out of the building.

  • I just love that amp

  • Notice the Marshall Powerbrake....? Lol.

  • doug is top dog off to see him in june with whitesnake. the other guy is a arse mouth fool

  • I really like Dougs style, reminds me of Jake E Lee

  • If this guy represented my company in that way, I would punt his ass out onto the street. He is one MAJOR SQUEEZER....what a wanker

  • he reminds me of woody harilson from king pin lol

  • Doug is a amazing player! Talent, tone ,speed ,and best of all feeling! One of the best hard rock Les Paul players around today!!

  • This man may be the most insulting person in the world and does not foster intrest in a product . but the bottom line is when you slap down the cash your not putting it in his hand .. and your getting a class product from a well know manufacturer that will last forever if treated right . this amp has nothing to do but gain value over the years .. that guy will be long dead and probibly me too ,but that amp will still work \M/

  • this guy is a prat

  • glad nick demo.'d some of randys licks

  • dougs fuckin rock king no doubt

  • I'll never buy a RR amp because of this Representatives utter and complete disrespect for all of the youtube viewers worldwide. How could Jim Marshall allow his amps to be represented by such an insulting, rude and ignorant person? Get it together Jim and pull this video before more damage is done to your once excellent name. God Bless Doug Aldrich and Randy Rhoads.

  • I didnt know that about the amp so that guy can stfu, go home and cry to his mummy.

  • look at randys mom at 1.24 bored as i was.killer amp,i want to hear me through it though.how much are they 2000000000$ or some shit.

  • @flyinmikerian Seriously is that Randys mother, Shit i didnt know that :S

  • @metalshredder14 yeah bro thats her,if you call the musonia school in hollywood sometimes you can talk with her or kelle rhoads.

  • @flyinmikerian Wow!

  • tht was a terrible version of i dont know the chords were off

  • yep. it's NOT direct in. You won't get that tone whether you play like Doug and use his pickups, etc. Look at the following video and you can see a couple stills from this show. He clearly has a Wah and Noise Reducer or Delay and I'm SURE the Majik Box pedal (but haven't been able to find a still or video, but compared it to other clips and it's spot on)! -

    /watch?v= 9VFVYMba0xA&feature=related

  • Common known fact: Randy had constantly kept his Wah peddle ON during his rhythm guitar parts. He wanted to cut down the lows. I don't see why but having all midrange and highs is much better sounding than having too much bass. Unlike many players nothing he played sounded muddy.

  • At around 3:00 he´s playing the lick from Bet you can´t play this... Amazing.

  • my marshall ms2 sounds like that

  • The actual review seems flawed to me b/c Aldrich is using his gear on randy's amp. It wouldve been better if he plugged straight into the amp and went from there. Just my opinion

  • Seriously, Randy Rhoads tone wasn't that good. Great guitarist, but overrated. Put him next to Shawn Lane, Glenn Tipton, Paul Gilbert or Yngwie Malmsteen and he would look like nothing.

  • @kranen1 shawn lane I can possibly agree. paul gilbert maybe... malmsteen? fact: malmsteen was said to be the next randy rhoads, but he never exceeded the expectations. its not just about playing fast, wheres the musicality in malmsteen? almost everything sounds the same. but yeah, rhoads tone wasn't that good

  • @MrMnM14 Yeah, sometimes Malmsteen can be a bit boring. He has done some great songs though, Black Star, Far beyond the sun to mention a few. I think besides Hendrix, Blackmore, Iommi, Tipton, Rhoads, EVH etc. he's probably one of the most influential players of all time.

  • @kranen1 Rising Force is still one of my favourite albums. Malmsteen, like the others you refer to, was a pioneer, and thats what influence the most

  • Awkward hug.

  • Randy Rhoads had the worst tone in the history of the genre.

    Why the hell would anyone want it is beyond me

  • Definitely one of my favorite lead guitarists. He can shred with a strong, bluesy feel to his playing, and the tone is killer!

  • i love tht lick!!!!!!!!

  • The speaker guy is most obnoxious

  • Guys

    I can honestly tell you that live, this amp is a killer!! The mic on this recording is shit. I have one of these amps and let me tell you...It smokes!!! Too Damn loud.. I needed to get a Hotplate to turn it down and even then it Rocks....

  • Ur all fucking stupid the guitarist was impressive and he didnt play like sack cuz he was not as meaty nor impressive. R u kidding me randys tone was bad!!!! Ur a fucking loser let's hear ur rad tones. Idk if this amp is the best to show the rhodes sound but it wasn't that bad. It's a nice lookin amp unlike Peavy or the marshal jmc series. But randy was a master and tones. He went for that style in hopes to impress his idol eddy. I meat zack and ozzy and worship them so I feel I'm ok to judge t

  • Dougs a good player. Who's the dickwad introducing him?

  • nick bocott i believe....he was in grim reaper.

  • sounds almost like a good pocket amp, some will like it or hate it, i dont totaly hate it but it might sound better runnin without that powerbrake n got some air movin in the cabs, but then they could do this demo in a baseball stadium

  • The intro music is maybe from a hard core porn film XD

  • I like much.... I think,in my opinion, Doug plays similar to Zakk Wyld,.... maybe? what do you think about? thanks

  • I don't know what all of you are talking about. This amp sounds exactly like Randy's shitty sound. I love Randy Rhoads, just not his tone.

  • Hi-gain Fuzz!! I can gaurantee you if Randy was still alive he would ditched these shitty amps! Marshall out to make a buck on a dead guitar hero!

  • God, where do marshall find these tosser salesmen, Doug Aldridge is a fine player and a real nice guy, but he ain't no Randy Rhodes. It bugs me the way Marshall marketing corporate animals masquerade as musicians and try to sell their products like you have to be in some exclusive club to own one and if you don't know who RR was then to "get the hell out of my booth" what an absolute wanker. Anyone with me on this? - there are better amps out there, and cheaper

  • @spacemanGoldie That's Nick Bowcott that played in Grim Reaper... Yeah man, he sounds like an idiot introducing the product...

  • @spacemanGoldie As far as the newer Marshall amps goes.. even Carvin is better and I'm not a fan of their amps either.

  • Why do people praise Doug Aldrich? He stinks. Randy was the best period. Don't insult him by having bums pretending to be like him.

  • The bald fck from Marshall should wrap up his darts,suck back the rest of his warm ale and switch to bass!! he sucks worse than their food over there. Hope he dont look like his mommy!!

  • gotta be honest i dont like this amp sound like a box of loud nasty noise, i know you're thinking thats the point of a marshall but its not the good kind of nasty noise

  • @UnchainTheNight1 buying a CCV instead ;) But HAIL Randy, love him!!!!!!!!!!

  • I would have walked out of this condescending fool’s booth. Insulting prospective buyers is not the way to generate interest or sells of a product. I love the RR Marshall tribute amp, but I don’t need an ass like this to berate me if I was there to learn about it.

  • @AzaelVI true. He would be much better off introducing young rockers to the world of Randy Rhoads. Cmon, the guy passed away in 82, it's been a long time so it's not everybody at NAMM that knew his music.

  • @AzaelVI yeah, and especially because Randy's mother was there. If he wanted to honour Randy, he could have said it in a MUCH nicer way that that. I thought it was a little rude to talk like that in front of his mother.

  • @AzaelVI yeah,,,but hes right...lot of people are at namm through friends of friends and who you know....lot of bullshit people that love madonna and lady gaga.... so i see where he is coming from....but i see hwere you are also....ialso think it is rude to act like that in front of randys mum!

  • @AzaelVI Like he said " get the hell out of here!!" go to the peavey booth!!!"

  • @AzaelVI An ass he is indeed.

    I on the other hand hate marshall amps, I find that they take away much of the saturation in my sound and they don't really sound as "heavy" as I would like my amps to sound. So it's Randal for me.-

  • @AzaelVI You obviously didn't know whose amp it represents until Nick Bowcott told you.

  • @evilvon Of course I knew it was a Randy Rhoads tribute amp Doug would be playing. It didn’t need to be told, it’s in the video description title. I got here by watching some of the videos to the right showcasing the Marshall 1959RR.

  • @AzaelVI Yeah, I would have turned around and walked to the back.

  • btw... you don't need to tell me who you are or who doug is... shut the fuck up & the the amp talk... i can do randy through that to kick your ASS & cook well enough to blind Guy Fieri.. so flavor savor bitch boy that wasn't even LIVE WHEN RANDY... OR MET HIM. OR...

    WHO THE F*CK ARE YOU YA VINNIE JONES WANNABE///////

  • btw... you don't need to tell me who you are or who doug is... shut the fuck up & the the amp talk... i can do randy through that to kick your ASS & cook well enough to blind Guy Fieri.. so flavor savor bitch boy that wasn't even LIVE WHEN RANDY... OR MET HIM. OR...

  • ROFL, I like how Doug Aldrich pwn3s the guy with ibanez.

  • A couple comments...yes, Doug is VERY good and plays all of the solos and is just a WAY better player than Zakk Wylde!

    I notice the following:

    1:00 - Les Paul (not cutom headstock) - Gold Top with single binding and creme pickguard and Neck pickup has silver pickup cover, but bridge is uncovered and white in color

  • 1:23 - floor - Randy's mom Delores (Dee). Right side in red hair Randy's sister Kathy and left with dark hair and badges is Randy's brother Kelle (Doug). Not sure of the other girl to the left of him and above mom, maybe Randy's girlfriend?

    3:10 - guy walks over and turns the Marshall Power Brake sitting on black bottom to the left of far left 1959RR stack Doug is playing thru to the right slightly!

  • After researching and reviewing Doug and others sites, I'm confident the pickups in this Les Paul ARE Suhr Aldrich pickups. He is playing in the bridge position. AMAZING and I believe better than PAF tone! Actually, I just ordered a set for my Studio Premier Plus! :O It's obvious at the 3:10 mark that it is attenuated. The question I have is...IS HE USING ANY PEDALS AT ALL. (or just the pickups and amp)???

  • I'm pretty sure this amp sounds much better than we are hearing here... It sounds weird, no bass, too harsh...

  • @carvindc400 yeah. I mean, we're hearing it through little speakers from a camera mic. It would sound a lot different if it were a soundboard recording.

  • I don't care how much it costs, at some point I will own one of these! And I won't sell it for all the gold in the world, in fact, the only thing I'd sell it for is something that could bring Randy back.

  • Do a search people, the Marshall rep used to play for Grim Reaper.

  • @lynyrddeville yes... it's Nick Bowcott of Grim Reaper....who cares... maybe we'll "See him in Hell" too... he's not much of a "salesman"

  • "Hey everyone I'm a fat bald Brit that acts tough even though I'm a pussy that gets no ass. Since the audience is 100% guys i hope you all think i'm badass by telling you to get the hell out of here....even though my shit minimum wage job depends on you staying here and listening to me act tough." However, Doug Aldrich rocks.

  • Comment removed

  • Great playing. No wonder Mr. Aldrich was the axeman in Dio and Whitesnake during multiple tours with several pro-shot DVDs featuring his wizard guitar style.

  • he shreds at 2:04

  • Bald Guy: Look at me....I just learned how to play crazy train!!!

    Doug Aldrich: Uhhh...Yeah

  • The Gear Wire introduction music is awful! Nice video though!

  • Maybe instead of telling people to "get the hell out of our booth," he could've informed the visitors that were not familiar with Randy Rhoads and the amp..........not a good sales pitch to sell the amp.

  • My guitar teacher has the head!!!1

  • Douggie is the Shit!

  • Did they kiss in the beginning? @ 0:25

  • Aldrich is amazing, as is this amp. But using this drunken British slob to represent Marshall ?

  • Tumbs Up This, if you Think Doug Should Play With Ozzy! Zakk and Gus are Overrated and they use to much Pinch Harmonix and Stuff, Doug is underrated and is WOW he does deserve Randy Rhoads place!

  • @Teratop where? Tell me which is the point. Every guitar player has is own vibe and his own guitar solo.. yesterday Doug cames here in Italy and played with bunch of great guitar players (such like as Lynch, Stef Burns, Seymour Duncan and on) and with Glenn Hughes. He started with Blues For Mylene (a piece of song that he wrote for his wife) and then he played something completely new, I don't see the problem. There's a chiché and I think is a cool thing

  • @stemean theres a guitar player called seymoure duncan? isn't that just the brand?

  • @Teratop 

  • they could get Randy himself, so they get his modern day clone!

  • @Fendershred50 couldnt*

  • i went to the Doctor Aldrich clinic the other day and ended up having a prostate exam.. not fun

  • The pedal used was the Rocket.

  • Those Bends sounds so amazing. when you think he,s done, he bends back up, even higher than he was with a vibrato. The amp souns SO F**** amazing as well !!

  • Doug has pretty wicked chops. I always liked Zakk's playing but I think I dig dude's more.

  • Dougs got great style. Tons of authentic fiery rock edge...not too shreddy.

  • 3:09 to 3:23 is very "1st album" Nuno

  • 1:24 ---> THE RHOADS FAMILY!! Mother, sister and brother of RR!!

  • was that randy's mom at the beginning in front ?

  • 1:40 very Randy Rhoads sounding lick. Nice job Doug, impressive as usual

  • LOL, pause at 1:23

  • doug and randy would out due ozzy and zak wylde combined!!!!

  • I think I'am gonna buy that , I wish a little bit more low sound but I am shure that it's possible to get that on this expensive shit :D

  • @1:24 the grey haired lady, is it Randy's Mom, Delores?

  • That Marshall Rep just became my favorite person. "If you don't know about this amp hang your head in shame and tear your ticket up and leave." Or something like that.

  • I like how they are using a fender passport pa :D

  • He's good, but I prefer Reb Beach. Just my opinion. =)

  • best guitar player and best amp ever and you cant tell me otherwise

  • I find this to be a much better tone than Randy Rhoads ever achieved. It always sounded to me that Rhoads was using an MXR distortion pedal to get his gain out of the old Marshalls. It sounded a bit cheesy to me.

  • Actually he did!!

  • @vikingcookie i heard that too.. that he used the pedal through like a shit load of marshalls.. do you know if this guy was using any pedals besides wah?

  • I disagree, it didn't sound cheesy to me. But you're right, he used an MXR Distortion that he kept on pretty much at all times, except when doing clean passages.

  • I'll take back "cheesy," but even back in its day, Randy's tone wasn't very appealing to me, because it was the same MXR tone I was stuck with! I wanted the vintage Marshall tone but with more overdrive, and I was pissed that some guys were able to get their Marshalls modified to get that sound. A resentment carried over from my youth.

  • I know the feeling.

  • 0:34 every video that dude has to say a douche comment like that its like stfu some people are new to Randy Rhoads and thats fine

  • I know what you mean, it's just plain bad representation of Marshall as a company. From far away it looks like every other white tolex Marshall played in the eighties so he should keep his mouth shut, because like you mentioned, not everyone grew up in the 80's and not everyone is a huge Rhoads fan. But I still love Aldrich, Rhoads, AND Marshall. Oh well LOL

  • haha... yeah that is douchetastic.

  • Great guitar player, amp sounds like shit

  • I heard that Delores Rhoads (Randy's Mom) Cried we she saw Aldrich playing because she said the he reminded her alot of Randy, with his long blond hair and LP. I see alot of people complaining about the tone, THATS IT! Thats Randy's Tone all you need is the right affects, what people dont understand is on the tracks. Randy overlayed, multiple layers of him playing to make it sound fuller and fater, Randy's tone was very thin sounding, that amp hits randy's tone on the nose.

  • lol the guy from Marshall look like the average England football hooligan

  • @theoriginaldimi lmao !

  • @theoriginaldimi

    That's Nick Bowcott from Metal Church...He's Marshall's artist guy now ;-)

  • @theoriginaldimi ......LOL that's because he probably is.......Liverpool....Liverpoo­l....

  • @theoriginaldimi

    he really IS !!! marshall is living off other peoples ideas stealin & this bigmouth being proud of it;

    what a shame......

  • @theoriginaldimi something wrong with football???

  • Fuck he's badass!

  • the old woman seated in front at 1:24 is Randy's mother.

  • @560licious Dee??

  • yeah, Dee is just short for her name...can't remember it all...Delora, Delorna, Delila...something like that

  • dolores

  • @560licious

    yeah apparantley he loved her to bits!!! its just sad he was taken away from her!!

  • I would have much preferred Zakk Wylde demmoing Randy's signature amp....oh well.
