masterful...im gonna be a selfish fuck and say randy should have lived forever..because my ears are so greedy for how he completely controls his guitar.
the person that took their life listening to this song couldn't handle the greatness! You can't blame an artist for that. The parents shoulda blamed themselves!
Wow, I was lucky enough to see this tour, if I had only known what the future would hold for one of the best guitar players to ever hold a pick. RIP Randy.........
@jkielq91 You can buy the official Randy Rhoads Tribute album off amazon or at a music store; but if you want the unedited version (most of it) it send me an email and I will send you a link to it via megaupload.
DON'T GET ON THE PLANE RANDY! If I could time travel, I would go back to one hour prior to take off, take a hammer, and smash the shit out of that plane. It would never fly again when I was thru with it. Sigh...wishfull thinking.
Just think how metal would be if RR was still with us. Imagine how much better he would be, if that's possible. All those awesome riffs that never came to be.
I got to see Randy with Ozzy in vancouver kerrisdale arena 1981, I was in the very front with Randy right in front of me the whole night, best night of my life musically, will never ever forget how everybody in that arena knew they were witnessing the new number one guitarist!
no matter how good guitarists have gotten today, in terms of technical skill, for some reason we're never going to hear a solo like that again. its almost the perfect guitar solo!
i wa's lucky to see RR 8-11-81 GR MI ,,,i was only 14, now i am 44, still the best show i ever saw!... and i've seen everybody! GOD-BLESS RANDY RHOADS!!
you know your on randys level when you can add scale runs in between your riffs! and still make it sound good ! beats pinch harmonics widely used in todays rock.
Most of the Tribute album, yes. Some of the other songs were recorded in Canada during a separate show (Goodbye to Romance, No Bone Movies, the spotlight solo) and the Dee studio out-takes.
Well guys. There are several reasons why Ozzy and Sharon agreed to never give away those tapes to the general public. Randy's mother didn't want any of the videos released. Ozzy and Sharon felt that it would be to painfull to watch and it would bring back bad bad memories.
wrong! its not about bon scott, bob daisley the original bass plyer for ozzy wrote that song about ozzys drinking! he wrote 98% of those first 2 albums, ozzy cant remember shit from back then so in his mind he thinks he probably did write it, there is a lawsuit between ozzy and daisley right now for royalties, bob daisley was the master of those first 2 albums writing wise
@Biyachkatah Randy died March 19, 1982 but you were right about his age of his death he joined Ozzy when he was 23, he was the greatest of all guitarists hes my hero.
The Ozzman Cometh and when he brought Randy with him, it was always a show to remember. I'm 46 and I saw Ozzy with Black Sabbath and then touring with Randy Rhodes (incredible; doesn't do him justice) then Jake E. Lee. I saw Sabbath with Dio and then with Ian Gilliam. What a lot of mind altering madness and killer rock and roll!! At one of the Ozzy shows at Providence Civic Center, the crowd just wouldn't leave. Everyone kept stamping their feet and shouting "OZZY" after 20 mins, encore 3!!!
actually no its not, he lied about it to try to get out of being sued, bc bob daisley explained it later was about ozzy's drug addiction, it was later announced that he was not sued due to the first ammendment, the freedom of speech, but he didnt know that, he just brought that up to protect himself
@vatscove it might be about ozzy but in that case it is not about his drug addiction, solution is another word for beer/alcohol so i believe it is about bon scott ^^ well i dont know and i dont think i will ever know the truth for sure either :P
@HanoiRocks.... that could be a matter, i'm just going straight off wiki. hehe, the best part about the truth being concealed is there is lot of room for theories
possible, but maybe it isnt, i did the math, he was 22 according to wikipedia when he joined ozzy, BUT it just said 79, randy's b-day is december 6th, so its possible he was late 21
Yeah, I just kind of think Randy is way better unedited, which I have to assume it was slightly during the transition, but I don't know. What do you think? This or Tribute?
wait, this is not the same solo as the one in tribute. its a completely different concert. the one. but your right. they did edit randys solo on tribute. they slightly sped it up and put a little pause before and after the solo.
Thanks, i just seen this uploaded on my front page. I miss my friend Randy but those days in 80 and 81 were one wild ride! I was proud of Ozzy for putting himself together with the help of ex assistant to Sabbath his now wife Sharon and for his pick from QR ,one of the best guitar player ever lived. - Best Regards- Thomas
RR sounded pretty damm good when I saw them play in 1981 at the swing auditorium in San Bernardino. June 15, 1981... Bizzard of Ozz with Motorhead!! Now that was a concert.
The solo is authentic to the show but whats the glitch im hearing right after ozzy says "this is Randy Rhoads"? Hear my vid response to this I have the actual original with no glitch.
I had a bootleg tape of this show when I was a kid (well before Tribute came out) and was blown away. THIS is the best RR live solo in my book. Although I do like the version that has vamp with the band also.... I always felt the Tribute solo was RR on a bad night. His tone was thin and he wasn't near as precise as this solo is.... this is him on fire and I have heard MANY of RR live solos through the years. I also saw him live when I was 11 years old.
Oh dude, I love the solo on Tribute. It has everything that Randy ever did in it somewhere. It's almost like a compilation of his skill. And I thought it was pretty spot on. I'm still listening, so dunno how this one sounds yet though.
From what I heard, the show in Montreal was a bad night. The band wasn't in top form, Ozzy wasn't in top form.
I'm surprised that they even put anything from that show on Tribute, especially because the Cleveland show was much, much stronger.
The sad fact is, this show, the Montreal show, a couple things done in England before Rudy and Tommy joined the band, and the After Hours TV stuff are the only pro recordings of the band with Randy. Shame.
"The sad fact is, this show, the Montreal show, a couple things done in England before Rudy and Tommy joined the band, and the After Hours TV stuff are the only pro recordings of the band with Randy. Shame."

If Sharon is sitting on more footage/audio then shame on her, because Randy Rhoads is the best guitarist ever, and his stuff should be heard.
@shytownmofo ..was don costa in any of that footage from that tour..he played bass for ozzy that year in 1982 for 6months..somebody must know something of this guy..
Randy is Immortal in my eyes as well......my one influence to play guitar....gone before i was born.... theres really no one who could totally fill the shoes of Randy......not Zakk Wylde, Not Jake E. Lee, Not anyone!! R.I.P. Randy Rhoads, We'll all miss you!!!
Anyone understood what Ozzy said in the beginning? He always says something before introducing songs I just don't understand: "We'll do a new nummer now featuring Randy Rhoads on lead guitar...is a ????? title suicide solution."
Wooow, thanks, haha :D I always wondered what it could mean..he says it in so many live videos/songs. (english isn't my mother tongue but I should have understood that! :D)
This is from the 5/11/81show used for much of the Tribute album (minus No Bone, Goodbye- which were from late '80, the guitar solo spot, and Dee of course). I don't believe it was a King Biscuit show. There was of course the King Biscuit show from Montreal a few months later. It rocks just the same, but sounds much different than this show. I have 47 Ozzy+Randy boots and these 2 are in the top 5. I think this guitar solo is better than the one on Tribute. Fckg on fire on this one. ROCK!!!!
I remember the King Biscuit recording, and it was the lesser version you are reffering to... if this is the other King Biscuit recording, then it WAS released as a bootleg called Bat's Head Soup. I owned this exact concert. So I guess that means no one is wrong.
Randys Polka dot flying V neck guitar is in the Rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland. I saw it ther about 3 weeks ago. It was the only thing related to Ozzy that i saw. Im going to try to get back there in the next couple weeks, maybe i overlooked something.
Jonz Bat's Head Soup was the best quality bootleg I ever heard no matter the artist. As much as I love Tribute. The quality doesn't compare. Some of Tribute was from Cleve. some from Montreal & Goodbye to Romance & No Bone Movies was done at a England Concert. You can tell Kerslake is on drums. Kerslake & Daisely never played the states w/ ozzy & randy. Daisely did on the Bark at ther moon tour.
Jonz I disagree...The live show this was taken from was a king biscuit show then was released.PISSED US OFF! Hoped for a new show although this was beter than the audio cassettes we had.I still have the original from the FM broadcast.And yup.....Randy smoked.
Randy's guitar work on this is NOT what you hear on Tribute... this recording was sold as a bootleg back in '83-'84 called Bats Head Soup... I owned it. Ozzy famously bit the head off of the bat at this concert. This is Randy as he should have been heard on Tribute... His tone here is insane... no body in the history of rock has EVER sounded like he does here... his playing is incredible,,,
Dang, Randy's tone is fricken amazing on here. Better than the after hours version even. Why'd they mess it up for the tribute album? Stupid people.
I have to agree with someone down there, Randy's sound on this is pretty much orgasmic.
Is he using a different effect on this one? The sound is just different.
I have to admit, some times I forget the full extent of his awesome-ness, but that at the end! That's the kind of thing that makes me believe that Randy Rhoads is the greatest ever.
Great stuff glad to see they improvised quite a bit back then I saw Ozzy right after Randy passed that year and the band sounded great with Bradd Gillis but not as good without Randy.
I actually recorded the latter part of this concert off of the local radio station (DC-101in Wash, D.C., where I'm from) in the summer of 1981 on cassette. I listened to it all the time and when the Tribute album came out, I could tell that they had modified it. The songs I recorded were the drum solo, Suicide Solution, Iron Man, Child. of the Grave, and Paranoid. I was very disappointed that they changed them so much becasue the original guitasr solo is incredible. I still have that cassette!
First of all, Dalsia, you are absolutely right! This is the ORIGINAL recording of this song from this concert (which is the one they used for the Tribute album). You'll notice that the guitar solo is even different becasue they added-in licks from another concert. They also "cleaned-up" the vocals and even added echos (like on Children of the Grave). I have no idea why they ever did that becasue the original recording/versions were incredible. I'll continue in another email post.
Yea, I was alive when this came out; I was about a week old.
You are never too young to enjoy the classics; besides, music that has been coming out lately is crap anyway. I mostly listen to 1960's, 1970's and 1980's music.
The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Greatful Dead; you know the good stuff.
yeah for sure when you got parents who introduce you into this kind of thing ya know and once my mom showed me randy i was like whoa this guy is amazing
vaughn was a hell of a blues guitarist he deserves alot of credit he went way too early as did randy and hendrix..hendrix releases a new album next month can't wait to hear his greatness
He sure did at least Randy didnt rehash his own solos like EVH did.Randy had so many bags of tricks.One of the best I have ever heard.I am more of a Zakk fan but I love Randy and will never say one bad thing about him.Monster of a guitarist.
Every time i listen to his, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, especially the solo.
I was listening to the tribute album, and this song came on, and i was hooked, then when that solo started, i played it back like a hundred times. This man made me pick up the guitar, he is the most musicaly perfect guitarist ever.I almost cried when i found out he died when i read the booklet that came with it :(. R.I.P. randy rhoads, teach god to play guitar, then blow him away :) x
masterful...im gonna be a selfish fuck and say randy should have lived forever..because my ears are so greedy for how he completely controls his guitar.

Anyone understood what Ozzy said in the beginning? He always says something before introducing songs I just don't understand: "We'll do a new nummer now featuring Randy Rhoads on lead guitar...is a ????? title suicide solution."

This is from the 5/11/81show used for much of the Tribute album (minus No Bone, Goodbye- which were from late '80, the guitar solo spot, and Dee of course). I don't believe it was a King Biscuit show. There was of course the King Biscuit show from Montreal a few months later. It rocks just the same, but sounds much different than this show. I have 47 Ozzy+Randy boots and these 2 are in the top 5. I think this guitar solo is better than the one on Tribute. Fckg on fire on this one. ROCK!!!!

I remember the King Biscuit recording, and it was the lesser version you are reffering to... if this is the other King Biscuit recording, then it WAS released as a bootleg called Bat's Head Soup. I owned this exact concert. So I guess that means no one is wrong.

This is the Suicide from 81'!!!!!!!
I had this. It is the King Biscuit recording.
This is so much better than the Suicide they chose for the album. Randy sounded tired or sick on that one.
Where can I get this show on cd??
I still miss Randy.

Randys Polka dot flying V neck guitar is in the Rock and roll hall of fame in Cleveland. I saw it ther about 3 weeks ago. It was the only thing related to Ozzy that i saw. Im going to try to get back there in the next couple weeks, maybe i overlooked something.

Jonz Bat's Head Soup was the best quality bootleg I ever heard no matter the artist. As much as I love Tribute. The quality doesn't compare. Some of Tribute was from Cleve. some from Montreal & Goodbye to Romance & No Bone Movies was done at a England Concert. You can tell Kerslake is on drums. Kerslake & Daisely never played the states w/ ozzy & randy. Daisely did on the Bark at ther moon tour.

Randy's guitar work on this is NOT what you hear on Tribute... this recording was sold as a bootleg back in '83-'84 called Bats Head Soup... I owned it. Ozzy famously bit the head off of the bat at this concert. This is Randy as he should have been heard on Tribute... His tone here is insane... no body in the history of rock has EVER sounded like he does here... his playing is incredible,,,

Dang, Randy's tone is fricken amazing on here. Better than the after hours version even. Why'd they mess it up for the tribute album? Stupid people.
I have to agree with someone down there, Randy's sound on this is pretty much orgasmic.
Is he using a different effect on this one? The sound is just different.
I have to admit, some times I forget the full extent of his awesome-ness, but that at the end! That's the kind of thing that makes me believe that Randy Rhoads is the greatest ever.

I once read that they ran his guitar signal thru a Rat pedal and modified his tone for the tribute album. (Not sure if that's a fact)
I do know Randy used a MXR Distortion Plus in front of his Marshall amp.
CoreyCraven 2 years ago
Great stuff glad to see they improvised quite a bit back then I saw Ozzy right after Randy passed that year and the band sounded great with Bradd Gillis but not as good without Randy.

I actually recorded the latter part of this concert off of the local radio station (DC-101in Wash, D.C., where I'm from) in the summer of 1981 on cassette. I listened to it all the time and when the Tribute album came out, I could tell that they had modified it. The songs I recorded were the drum solo, Suicide Solution, Iron Man, Child. of the Grave, and Paranoid. I was very disappointed that they changed them so much becasue the original guitasr solo is incredible. I still have that cassette!
lidoplace 3 years ago
First of all, Dalsia, you are absolutely right! This is the ORIGINAL recording of this song from this concert (which is the one they used for the Tribute album). You'll notice that the guitar solo is even different becasue they added-in licks from another concert. They also "cleaned-up" the vocals and even added echos (like on Children of the Grave). I have no idea why they ever did that becasue the original recording/versions were incredible. I'll continue in another email post.

Yea, I was alive when this came out; I was about a week old.
You are never too young to enjoy the classics; besides, music that has been coming out lately is crap anyway. I mostly listen to 1960's, 1970's and 1980's music.
The Beatles, The Who, Rolling Stones, Greatful Dead; you know the good stuff.

Every time i listen to his, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, especially the solo.
I was listening to the tribute album, and this song came on, and i was hooked, then when that solo started, i played it back like a hundred times. This man made me pick up the guitar, he is the most musicaly perfect guitarist ever.I almost cried when i found out he died when i read the booklet that came with it :(. R.I.P. randy rhoads, teach god to play guitar, then blow him away :) x
