[@slugcult-10_years_and]

Life is strange. He was one of the guitarists that were older than me, that I'd look up to back when I was a kid. Today, in 2021, I was just watching these solos of a young Randy Rhoads, frozen in time. And for the first time, it dawned on me that he is young enough to be my grandson.

[@acatinthecradle]

He would have been 65 this year 2021....😥

[@lepatriote1841]

Same feeling...good sum up

[@70snostalgia]

The only benefit of dying young is that you are forever young.

[@Farweasel]

@@70snostalgia A more cogent memorial to Randy Rhodes is that he died preventing an insane coked-up roady piloting a light plane he should never have been allowed near from killing his (the roadie's) wife and others in a caravan he was trying to ram. . A very under-remembered and very genuine hero - as well as a genuine muiscal genius.

[@paulobtuble]

That's so true. He was a Genius. He mix blues scale with chromatic, Diatonic, Aeolian. Just Genius. Not even Van Halen couldn't touched him.

[@davidgilbert1828]

So cool, seeing live Randy videos is like seeing a Bigfoot video

[@mikejripley1738]

Not the truck right??

[@slugcult-10_years_and]

There's not too many videos of him. Every know and then, someone will post a clip of a blurry Randy Rhoads, ducking into a heavily wooded area and disappearing.

That Mr Crowley solo gives me chills no matter how many times i hear it

Just insane what he did with those solos. Every note has a purpose too. There's only one Randy.

[@BEST-rl7yu]

Музыка 🎶 Ренди Роудса , эти два первых альбома Оззи, это лучшие его альбомы с точки зрения сочетания музыки и мелодии . От солло к большинству композиций стынет сердце , от того что думаешь , что да действительно написаны шедевры как будто он Ренди знал , предвидел , что другого шанса у него не будет . Уверен что нет другого такого гитариста как Ренди Роудс узнав уего путь творчества , это же надо быть с таким сознанием чтобы добившись такого успеха игнорировать славу рок музаканта и говорить я просто хочу играть на гитаре . Его коллеги по группе Оззи говорили , что Рэнди только любил играть на гитаре, в то время как другие увлекались разными веществами ...... 😅.

[@tiffanyroseangeles34]

@@LinkRocksyes yes I was in my 20s when he was killed. Such a hellish tragedy! So young,!

[@nikkie87]

He didn’t play with feeling, he played with passion like his life fucking depended on it. He embodied the music. He became the music. He could play fast as hell but it was nowhere near sloppy, he was clean as fuck. Tricks? Sure, he could do them, but that’s not what he was all about. He incorporated classical music into his work in a way no one else had done before. The dude could solo, riff, read and write like a God. Long live the king that is Randy Rhoads.

Yea man. I seen him during both tours. Blizzard and Diary '81 & '82. I was 19 & 20yo. Sounded just like the album, imho. He was the king. Very grateful to have witnessed the master in real life. God bless his soul. He'll live on in my heart forever. Randy was THE man!

Yep. He was technically on another level and he made it sound easy. The things he's doing is far from easy. He was one of a kind, that's for sure.

[@davecavender8227]

The world would of been so much more awesome if RANDY was still with us RIP rock legend ✌

[@jamesvaughan1999]

Unlike alot of musicians who play doped up to hell and back RANDY was drug free and when he died in that awful plane crash the whole world knew according to his toxicology report the only thing in his system was nicotine. People may not take stock in the fact he was that way but he was real , present , and true to his craft. I have nothing but the highest of respect for that and the man. His family should be very proud of how he truly was an angel and resisted temptation even though it was there for the taking. In my opinion that is the mark of a true man. May he rest in peace in the halls of God almighty entertaining him with his spot on beautiful music....

[@geogarcia4065]

He did drink as well.....I believe. But ya.....pretty sure most everyone else was pretty lit.

[@chaosh7040]

​@@freebee8221Ozzy was "passed out drunk under the drum risers" for most of the recording of the 2 Randy albums crying himself to sleep over his girlfriend breaking his heart. Sharon had to hide his alcohol to force him to get his ass up & even sing his lines.

His playing was beautiful....he was beautiful.....a huge loss.

His playing on Revelation is insane. I've heard him play so many times and I always come away in awe of what he did. We only had him for a short period of time, but he left us a lot of greatness.

[@rkr7372]

It’s hard not to wonder where his place would be on the list of greatest guitarists of all time, especially with his classical background.

[@TheCjbowman]

His solos reflect the beautiful soul that he is. RIP, Randy... 🤘😎🤘

[@noahtheiguana935]

I love how there’s variety every time he plays the same solo. He always changes something in the solo, and tbh I love it like that

[@barryengle8295]

Yes!! Somewhere out there there is some live stuff that I heard on Sirius "Ozzy's Boneyard" that I woulda swore it was the Tribute recording, except he had so much cool riffle added throughout the whole song, it's crazy good. And of course I have yet to find it anywhere

[@MrTravlinman1973]

Randy would Improvise pretty much every solo and and add more.. as the tours got further in he would do it more so to keep from getting bored with playing the same thing all the time.. His solos are extremly difficult to begin with and then improvising them as he went is just mind blowing.. He was and always will be the best in my book. Sad he met such a tragic end at such a young age. There will never be another.

[@daveh9335]

Saw twice, first two Ozzy tours, I feel blessed to have seen and heard his brilliance. RIP RR

[@jmbwithcats]

Randy Rhoads was something special. His playing was like a rolling rapid with complete control. A virtuoso. A burning candle that got snuffed too soon. I only hope that his life inspires others to keep that flame burning for a very long time.

[@sayshuh]

Every time I see RR playing live it's something I have to want to see more, damn he was so good and that crap about him and EVH not being friends or whatever was because they were never around each other long enough to be friends. Randy was a totally different player, he was getting better really fast.

[@vinrusso821]

I think that rivalry started on the Sunset strip. Both played at the same clubs and were known as the two best young guitarist on the strip in the 70's.

[@user-on1qk9wf4y]

Rest in Peace Randy !!!!!!!

[@ThomasWilliamMusic]

Have been stopping here to honor Randy's brilliance since the start. Thanks for sharing.

[@wjatube]

I agree- Crowley's two solos and Revelation are RR's best solos. I would add in SATO. How he blended those scales with that tone is so vastly under-appreciated.

[@boethius1812]

How are they underappreciated?

[@Movie-Collectibles]

SATO, Over the Mountain, Dee, You Can't Kill Rock 'n Roll, too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@wjatube]

It's usually the top selling singles that get all the attention like "Crazy Train" or "Flying High Again". I am suggesting songs like SATO have stellar solos but not as big of a hit commercially. @@boethius1812

[@curtisunit]

It's those short bits like 2:50-3:00 that just let you know that he's thinking on a whole different level than the contemporaries. That and the finale of the Crazy Train solo are freakish.

[@realmarixstone]

I was so fortunate to have been given goosebumps seeing this incredible band LIVE during the Blizzard of Oz. I will never forget that feeling. 🙏🫶🏻✌️👍🏼

I love Randy’s solos. Crazy how he does the solos for the Black Sabbath songs, knowing he doesn’t like playing them. Sounds amazing. R.I.P Randy Rhoads 👍🎸❤️

[@marklane870]

It's where a lot of his solo techniques originate from though. He was an ego filled guitar maniac driven by Marlboro and cocaine, I have a copy of his autopsy death report. He denied even listening to Sabbath as well, his inferiority complex shined through there when logically accomplished guitarists could see right through his bs...listen closely and you'll hear his cocaine speed sloppy playing throughout...he would be ashamed listening back hearing all of his mistakes and into action problems inherently associated with playing aggressively on light strings which cocaine does to you. He was most likely assassinated by the pilot because he was quitting the band after winning an award for guitar player which is the last thing he should have been thinking. Ozzy punched him in the face, word got back to Sharon and her daddy record producer president of the label...they weren't about to let this affect the bands future financially. You research and connect the dots, I know it's crazy but once you know how Aerosmith and others have acted and got away with murder then you may understand and believe it.

It's more agressive. Tony has a relatively clean sound on the album in general that album has a bit less gain than Paranoid. But with Randy it sounds like the amps are about to explode.
