Shit man this is Pretty Damn Good Quality,Considering Kevin DuBrow Lent his MASTER tapes to VH1 when they Did the Behind the Music & Never got them returned!!VH1 Claimed they Couldnt find them???WTF Right??So Theese that surfaced are Thankfully Most of what was Missing.That was in like 200 2001,then He died in 08 & that was that.Ozzy supposed ly has TWO PRO-SHOT Shows w/Randy that are to be released with the Blizzard & Diary 30th anivrs editions in Fall 2010 E Theyre now Delayed until 2011
lookin at this performance,i realize how good randy rhoads guitar playing went wit kevin dubrow's vocals.but after randy went to ozzy,quiet riot were looked at as just another glam metal band.
R.I.P Randy & Kevin,one of metals most underrated duos \m/
And as far as the Jimmy Page, Randy thing. Jimmy is/was one of the sloppiest players you will ever hear live. Randy was technically as good as it got, live or studio. But, I love Jimmy Page too.
RIP Randy and Kevin. I actually like Kevin's vocals alot. Seems to have gotten lost in the glam metal graveyard (no pun intended). However, Randy was something else altogether. A sound that Zakk couild never achieve....
This is a special treat. Listen carefully to time lapse 6:22-6:58, and, you will hear the premature development of Randy's classical composition "Dee", which, he later recorded with the Prince of Bloody Fucking Darkness...Ozzy.
lol I was thinkin the same thing bout Led zepp man, you're right, but you can't say they ripped em off. Randy is a genius guitar player, so if that Led zep song never came out, and still guarentee he'd be playing it in this vid
I saw Quiet Riot in 2006. Kevin sounded great, and I had always loved the band. But I really wish I could have seen Randy with them too. I'm glad though I got to see Kevin. He was so awesome. :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
he knew how to play guitar but not how to dress. 1st part sounds like a judas priest copy. the last part sounds like 2112. sad wings of destiny was one of the best metal albums of the 70s.
Yes that's what it is. But to reproduce it you would need to do a research of what equip he was using. Even strings can make a little difference. Sounds freakin awesome.
You Looking At Me, Looking At You was actually inspired by ''Kiss of Death'', wich has almost the same parts of the song. It's been played at some of the QR's shows, but not many, in my collection.
@oldgunsnroses4eva I like it in this quality because it's the sound you here when you're at the concert and the music is so loud that it makes your head shake... Makes it feel like you're there...
its kind of hard 2 belive quiet riot is in a weird way connected with ozzy ozbourne. randy played with both, but ozzy and quiet riot are from different styles of metal. and yet are connected by randy. strange when you actually think about it.
HEY, Cat I don't know if you noticed but,, all-most all of OZZY's (blizzard of ozz) are quiet riot songs (guitar-riffs) & (solo's) ,, Randy did !! OZZY (drunk), just wrote some lyrics !!
@guitardude012345 Well, most of the songs in Ozzy from Blizzard of Ozz, and Diary of a Madman had similar riffs of those in Quiet Riot... Randy just made them 20x better in Osbourne. Here are a few
Laughing Gas Solo (Chorus Pedal on)- Dee & Goodbye to Romance
Solo to Breaking up is a Heartache- Became first part of the Solo to You Lookin at Me Lookin at You
Force of Habit main rhythm- Suicide Solution
Second part of Laughing Gas solo (a.k.a the fast part)- Suicide Solution Spotlight Solo
nahhh xD the facts this gig is from 77 a year before athe erucction of van halen XD u cant compare randy with eddie cuz randy is better than van halen eddie is overrated xD
Hey Los Angelino's! Do you remember a band that always used to play with Quiet Riot. They were called Eulogy. I thought they kicked ass. They had cool songs, "Love is a Coma," "I Don't Wanna Let Go," "Lost on the Freeway." They ripped!
Randy Rhoads is, was and still is 1 of the best guitar players ever. He never missed a lick, and had so much knowledge, comfort, and control of a guitar it was sick.
Wow you're a maniac. If you can't see that this guy has talent as few, know how to play the guitar as few and is just one of the best in the world then you shouldn't talk music with anyone. Rhoads is the best guitarist by far. You should here his solo's on Crazy Train, Killer Girls, Last call for rock 'n roll, Iron Man, Goodbye to Romance etc. you'll change you mind trust me. Both Quiet Riot and Ozzy Osbourne songs.
great coment but randy isnt the guitarist in iron man. iron man is black sabath so toni iommi is the guitarist. and the only quiet riot songs he's in is before 1982.
Well all those songs have Rhoads on guitar except for the original Iron Man. I wrote that song cos it's got a great guitar bit in it and I have heard that Ozzy Osbourne did it once with his solo career line-up too. Yeah I know I'm a huge fan of Quiet Riot and of Rhoads Rhoads is the best guitarist by far even though there are many not far away. I mena I know every single fact about him more or less and I'm just so depressed when it comes to me knowing he's dead
yea i love randy too i think hes probably the best guitar player yet also. hes definatly my favorite, him and dave mustaine. i actually have the RR3 (one of his signature guitars) im playing in on my cover of devour.
Randy Rhoads is number one he's the the guitar genius and the six string god. Don't come and say that Hendrix(or who ever) is better. Respect that I and many other think thats Rhoads is the best. Respect our thoughts and we'll respect yours I promise.

Dude Randy and Ed are both amazing, both innovative and both unique. But in all honesty Eds got a wayyyy better tone and Van Halen as a band is so much better than QR.Also forgetting the European scene, Randy and Ed take influence from Uli Roth and Michael Schenker.
I agree. Eddie and Randy were both great players, I'm not one to pick and choose, I'm a big Van Halen fan. I'm just a much larger Randy Rhoads fan than I ever was an Eddie fan.
Randy dosent piece so many different techniques and styles like eddie and stevie vai do. He had a very skewed sound which was creating the setting for ozzys madness. Eddie was creating the palates for styles of guitar. Engwie blows my mind the most the first time i heard him. Randy is the best as a person, and the other 2 could learn something from him. And his style was badass. Hi 5!!!!
Ive developed a theory, LA guys like Van Halen and Quiet Riot were playing places like the Wiskey. I think that there was a point were one saw the other doing the tapping thing and they said "I can do that" and they did. I think it was Randy who got it from Eddie, Im not calling Randy a rip off artist or anything trust me Im a huge Rhoads fan. Im saying that cuz Randy could learn something just by hearing or seeing it
There was competition with Van Halen and Quiet Riot back in the day. Eddie popularised the tapping, but he definitely was not the first guitarist to do it, nor did he invent it. Randy admitted that Eddie was an influence, it's likely he got the idea from Eddie's playing, but he deliberately avoided playing similar licks to Eddie because of the comparisons/competition.
Well yea Classical players had been tapping for years so Eddie wasnt the first to popularize it, classical players invented everything they even invented Drop D I think
Eddie admits he didnt invent tapping, but he did redifine the guitar tone by building his own gear. His rhythmic attack was unheard of at the time. His speed without taps was the first in rock guitar. He was doing this in '75 when Randy sounded more like Neal Schon, who was shredding in '75, but not like eddie was doing. Yngwie took it to another planet.
It's true, Eddie did redifine guitar tone and playing back then, and Van Halen were definitely the better band than early day Quiet Riot. But all of Randy's work with Ozzy is much much better than anything Eddie ever did. But that is of course only my opinion.
Randy has a more metal approach with minor classical influences. Diminished scales and doubling of solos was his thing, and I love it. But to say eddie dosent master classical understanding would take me to hot for teachers taps, or the break in take your whiskey home. He was touch and go, a real life idiot savant. Randy was a student who was focused on a certain style, and was on his way to mastering it. 5150 describes eddie perfectly, he is a nutjob. His style is frankenstien.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well thank god for eddie bringing a mid east technique to the modern rock sound. Who else singlehandedly wiped the slate clean and ushered in what we now know as the typical modern style, tone, and attack. Randy made it clear that he told eddie himself that he was his biggest influence. Eddie talks about it in a guitar player mag interview on you tube, his relationship with rhoads up until his death, and how eruption and VH1 influenced him.
randy's students wanted him to teach them Van Halen style and he encouraged them to develop their own. both had admitted to being influenced by the other. beside eddie playing " classical", van halen and randy had distinct styles i find difficult to compare.

Dude Randy and Ed are both amazing, both innovative and both unique. But in all honesty Eds got a wayyyy better tone and Van Halen as a band is so much better than QR.Also forgetting the European scene, Randy and Ed take influence from Uli Roth and Michael Schenker.

I agree. Eddie and Randy were both great players, I'm not one to pick and choose, I'm a big Van Halen fan. I'm just a much larger Randy Rhoads fan than I ever was an Eddie fan.

Randy dosent piece so many different techniques and styles like eddie and stevie vai do. He had a very skewed sound which was creating the setting for ozzys madness. Eddie was creating the palates for styles of guitar. Engwie blows my mind the most the first time i heard him. Randy is the best as a person, and the other 2 could learn something from him. And his style was badass. Hi 5!!!!

Ive developed a theory, LA guys like Van Halen and Quiet Riot were playing places like the Wiskey. I think that there was a point were one saw the other doing the tapping thing and they said "I can do that" and they did. I think it was Randy who got it from Eddie, Im not calling Randy a rip off artist or anything trust me Im a huge Rhoads fan. Im saying that cuz Randy could learn something just by hearing or seeing it

There was competition with Van Halen and Quiet Riot back in the day. Eddie popularised the tapping, but he definitely was not the first guitarist to do it, nor did he invent it. Randy admitted that Eddie was an influence, it's likely he got the idea from Eddie's playing, but he deliberately avoided playing similar licks to Eddie because of the comparisons/competition.

Well yea Classical players had been tapping for years so Eddie wasnt the first to popularize it, classical players invented everything they even invented Drop D I think
parkersvx90210 4 years ago
Eddie admits he didnt invent tapping, but he did redifine the guitar tone by building his own gear. His rhythmic attack was unheard of at the time. His speed without taps was the first in rock guitar. He was doing this in '75 when Randy sounded more like Neal Schon, who was shredding in '75, but not like eddie was doing. Yngwie took it to another planet.
careypeak23 4 years ago
It's true, Eddie did redifine guitar tone and playing back then, and Van Halen were definitely the better band than early day Quiet Riot. But all of Randy's work with Ozzy is much much better than anything Eddie ever did. But that is of course only my opinion.
MrConeman 4 years ago
Randy has a more metal approach with minor classical influences. Diminished scales and doubling of solos was his thing, and I love it. But to say eddie dosent master classical understanding would take me to hot for teachers taps, or the break in take your whiskey home. He was touch and go, a real life idiot savant. Randy was a student who was focused on a certain style, and was on his way to mastering it. 5150 describes eddie perfectly, he is a nutjob. His style is frankenstien.

Well thank god for eddie bringing a mid east technique to the modern rock sound. Who else singlehandedly wiped the slate clean and ushered in what we now know as the typical modern style, tone, and attack. Randy made it clear that he told eddie himself that he was his biggest influence. Eddie talks about it in a guitar player mag interview on you tube, his relationship with rhoads up until his death, and how eruption and VH1 influenced him.

I don't think any one group or person can take credit for tuning one string down.

randy's students wanted him to teach them Van Halen style and he encouraged them to develop their own. both had admitted to being influenced by the other. beside eddie playing " classical", van halen and randy had distinct styles i find difficult to compare.
