The saddest part about this whole performance by Ozzy is that it is really the only pro shot video that I know of of Randy, and the friggin' camera operators had no idea who they were filming or what they were doing! Why is the camera not locked on Randy during the solos! :D

[@michaelsullivan9342]

I bet that camera guy really felt like a dumbass later on in life, he didn't know how lucky he was to be in the presence of the great one !!! Randy was taken from us way too early! No matter how good of a player he was he was constant'ly wanting to learn more! He learned alot from his mother too, she was a piano teacher and after growing up in that atmosphere he had musical note's bouncing back & forth in his head all the time, he was a mama's boy and loved his mother with all his heart and his heart was huge! He was always so kind and well mannered and had no ill will to anyone! I often wondered how a little timid guy like him could play so loud and aggressive, that polka dotted fly'ing-V was as big as he was but somehow he managed to make that guitar sing with perfect precision, just imagine what he'd be like today if he was still with us! Thanks for the beautiful melodic riff's Randy, you meant so much to so many and you will never be forgotten little buddy !!! 😔 r.i.p.

[@seanentrikin9263]

@@Troutflies71 for the “flashy” stuff, yes. The solo spots he did live he said he didn’t care for doing but with Eddie doing them he felt he had to keep up. He said it was all flash. Hence why he tried to put some classical passages in them and not simply fast, technical flashy things.

[@russellzauner]

He looks at the camera each time he throws a messed up interval that somehow ends up yanking us forward in the phrase rather than dislocating us from the vibe. That's a chunk of the magic and mystery - the Randy Brain. Check the hard look he throws right before the flatted 9th again at 23 minutes in, the long slow barely almost half side smile and then look away as he knows what he just did lol it was part of the plan after all

[@dsmith9626]

Legend has it Randy was struggling to come up with a great lead in the "afterbirth" section of Mr. Crowley. Ozzy challenged him and the pissed off and motivated Randy came up with the greatest lead break in heavy metal history. That solo has been giving me goosebumps for 40 years. Every. Single. Time. Randy Rhoads was in my eyes and to my ears the greatest lead guitarist in metal . Even Dime idolized Randy. 'Nuff said. Tony Iommi built the house of metal;Randy kicked the door down. To me March 19th, 1982 is the "(second) day the music died." What a tragic loss.

[@anthonyspencer766]

This was my first time catching one of your videos. Excellent. Yours was not just a reaction to the composition itself; it focused on the guitar. But neither was it just a straightforward lesson, or 'how to play this'. You looked at his movements from an abstract level, taking us through how he moved up and down the fretboard and changed modes, and the particular notes he uses to give character to his runs. It felt as if we got a peek into the 'musical brain' that was operating while Randy's fingers were doing the gymnastics. Well done.

[@douglassloan6831]

This is an amazing video. Truly. I was a student of Randy's for several years back it the 70s and your explanation and dissection of this solo really does an amazing job of encapsulating his mindset when creating these works of art that we call solos. Randy was a writer. He left nothing to chance and used the years of training he received from his mom in all kinds of instruments to create a style that is truly unlike anyone's to this day. Thank you so much for doing this. It does my heart good to see Randy getting his due after all these years.

[@atteljas]

Someone who had played with Randy late 70s said he was brilliant but when soloing he had to be well prepared. Its wonderful to hear from people like yourself who have witnessed Randy. As its mindboggling to have Randys former students post here. I thibk Randy was obviously great but had to take out of LA to get him in right perspective. Thanks for posting

Loved this. As a (non-teacher) guitarist, I appreciate your learning insights. I think about the same way when learning something like this - target notes, cadence, pattern, etc.. Great stuff. I think that look at the end when Ozzy is looking dazed is him realizing how lucky he is to have a band like that simply destroying behind him. This was recorded in a TV studio during their tour, and there are no production values at all - except for clear camera work and audio. Sadly it was one of the few times that band were captured on video in all their glory.

Ozzy has been incredibly blessed to have played with so many awesome players. Tony, Randy, and Jake being his top 3. Tony is obviously the Godfather and architect of metal. Randy was one of the original virtuoso rock mixed with classical shredders. All the musicians Ozzy worked with were standouts in their own ways. I'd have to say Ozzy has been the luckiest as well as hard working men of metal.

Closest thing to hearing it for the first time again. Cheers!

[@markgrant1302]

Awesome video!!! Learning Randy on the fly, serrious heavy lifting. What great about this is seeing someone who can play and trial and error... most guitar players dont show the wrong notes you hit to find the right ones...good for you... the best motivation for all of us is knowing nothing comes to us instantly or perfectly... as far as Randy if he had lived... Rudy Sarzo ( who played with Randy in Blizzard of Oz and Quiet Riot) said he thought Randy wiuld have become a classic player and most likely gone back to something he truly loved...teaching. again awesome video. Oh sounds like a harmoizer pedal on the last solo.

[@christopherberry8519]

You're still not hearing it... Randy was very, very deliberate. He spent so much time in the studio and on his theory way beyond what we hear on the recording the first hundred times... this is the live so he's simplifying as he isn't only double tracking the solo note for note on the album... Definite dorian, harmonic and melodic minor deviations. Randy was carving a niche and wanted to sound Bach influenced and develop his sound and style. I think you owe him some more time to actually figure out where he's sending you. I'm still hearing new things all these years later.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Simply my favorite metal guitar song ever. The entire guitar sound just flows like tendrils of gray smoke over a cold black river.

Ahhhh.. this one takes me back. Lol! Many hours of banging my head on this tune. Haven't played this in years but... I remember the intro to the first solo being, just silly hard to feel. Good luck kids!! Such a fun song to play tho... It's a great study peice. Hey Michael, if you haven't played much Randy, check out the solo from 'Goodbye To Romance'. I believe on the ascent, Randy plays 9's. 9 notes per beat. I'd love to hear your take on how to feel through that. Nice video here!👍

No matter how many times I listen to this song I always get goose bumps when he plays the solo

[@AdafooMN]

Awesome video. This is the 1st video I’ve seen from your channel. Amazing, thank you!

[@zefolantar]

Michael, your analytics of a song are truly fun and enlightening. As a guitar player, I appreciate you and your knowledge! Amazing work! 👍🎸

[@alexmartins965]

Randy Rhoads is the best of the bests! Sorry Hendrix, Van Halen, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Malmsteen, Slash, Zakk Wylde and others.

That's why Ozzy said , he saw " hope " when he heard randy play for the first time .it also always amazed me how much better they sounded live ! Really wish someone else produced/ recorded these albums.

and he was drunk out of his mind the first time Randy came in to audition

[@onemancarnage]

@@apacheY2K he was always lit back then .lol.

[@apacheY2K]

@@onemancarnage he truly rode the crazy train back then, him and keith richards are miraculous specimens of human beings hahaha

[@atteljas]

This was utter greatest Randy thing Ive seen in youtube. Thanks for that!

[@rkphighroller]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! I was going to request it!

[@MrTonicAmps]

Bass player is Rudy Sarzo by the way. Love Randy and Ozzy, this being a long time favorite. Over the Mountain and Flying High Again are pretty epic as well.

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

Rudy sarzo was only for the speak of the devil tour and record

[@davep5647]

Rudy was on the usa blizzard ,diary tours.

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

I know....but not on the recording...bob on bass...lee on drums...just like carmine was on bark at the moon video but tommy did the drumming on the recording and must of the tours...anyway ozzy's band was never a steady band for recordings/live shows and videos....the longest line up was jake/bob/tommy(guitar/bass/drums...and I'm talking about the glory years of ozz

[@ericrojasvelez8891]

@@davep5647 plus...rudy was also involve with quite riot at that time

[@JT-sl3ui]

Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge were only on tour for Blizzard & Diary. Lee Kerslake and Bob Daisley were the original drummer & bassist that wrote and recorded with Randy & Ozzy.

Dude I spent months on this song trying to break it down by ear and going back and forth from one tab to the next. Do you know how much I want to take that guitar from you and show you what Randy is doing as you're trying to learn all those parts? Lol. Great job though. What took me months took you less than an hour. Amazing my man!

[@craigthompson7070]

Great video!! My cousin and I figured this out the "hard way" in about 1983 without video or CD... I doubt I could have done it without his help. This reminds me of those days... he's not with us anymore but those were the best of days. Thanks for this video, Randy and Geoff - Rock in Peace 🎶🤘

[@alandealing7144]

new to this channel. THAT WAS GREAT!! Have always been a fan of Randy. Keep up the good work.
