[@fatmangaming2720]

He was good but not the best. Hell Shawn Lane could play circles around him.

[@blaze_knight_457]

​@@fatmangaming2720Here's my reason why I think he's the best. Sure other guitarists may be able to play harder stuff, but Randy Rhoads can play hard stuff and make it sound good and have a flow and have feeling to it. In a way that no other guitarist (in my opinion) can. The kid was also 20 before he died in a plane crash so he would have been the greatest and most heard of name in guitar history I bet.

[@robertsmock5044]

​@@fatmangaming2720are you high. At this point Randy was just a kid and hasn't even became what he was on Blizzard or diary of a madman. And he was dead at the age of 25

[@thenovatones-music]

It's cool how you can hear bits and pieces of solos and progressions in his solo that ended up on Diary and Blizzard.

If this is at the Starwood, then i was at this show, sitting in the upstairs section...Its really dark so it's hard to tell... but i totally remember that solo. Being a young guitar player myself and getting the chance to meet with Randy on a couple of occasions was awesome...He was a very genuine guy.. extremely nice and polite, unlike Kevin, who was a bit of an asshole at times ( but you had to know the guy to figure him out )...Great memories...thanks to whomever posted this...I wish i could find old footage of my band, Jail Bait when we used to play there.

[@valerieash]

whats awesome is how he advanced in a short period of time. i mean this is good, but his skill level just sky rocketed with ozzy

[@lesliethompson4039]

valerieash ... I believe it was because Ozzy just let him play and creat. Ozzy was mature and allowed Randy to mature musically and personally. Randy use to wear a vest with pocadots and a big bow tie like Roger rabbit. Ozzy saw that and told Randy to get rid of the outfit. Instead Randy put on leather pants and a leather vest, all black and looked super cool, a Rockstar.... . Everyone was kids in quiet riot. Having fun. In Ozzy, you don't get it or perform your fired period.

[@danzemacabre8899]

It got real, really quick with Ozzy and so did he.just like a top notch draft pick in football,was really good and could see the talent in college,when he gets to the pros though,he becomes a superstar.

[@davidhoopaugh]

Ozzy w/Daisley and Kerslake offerered Randy the opportunity to write music that was heavier and darker than QR, and seemed to suit his immense talent more appropriately. Rhoads(and, Schenker)is the guitar player that will always be held in highest regard and admiration. A profound inspiration in my life.

[@davidhoopaugh]

@leahcim38 huh?!!

[@davidhoopaugh]

@leahcim38 Look at other Diary tunes such as SATO or Little Dolls, that remained unfinished upon release. Just a rhythm and scratch. No overdubs. Randy was disappointed. I think these songs are monumental tracks, pure, honest, and dark. There are the commercial cuts too, Crazy Train, Flying High Again. Remember, Oz is Sabbath. QR was Sunset Strip. Rhoads brought another key element, a comprehension of classical composition, Goodbye to Romance, Tonight. You are right, of course, with such a slight body of work, we are left with only an introduction to an infinitely unknown potential of a young artist with a gift of truth, inspired and honest.

[@davidgish-h1c]

randy has to be best guitar ripper of all time!!

[@kojam1]

I'm crying from my eyes (what the hell does that even mean?!) at this HUGE loss of a small in stature, but GARGANTUAN talent!! This should be a valuable lesson to wannabe guitar heros. It's not about how fast you can play them notes. It's about articulation, phrasing, Dynamics, going where most wouldn't think to go with the notes, musicality, etc. Soooooooooooooo many slingers out there, but none touch me like Randy or Eddie. I gotta say it again. These guys can WRITE songs that can be appreciated by music lovers as well as guitarists. That skill has all but died. I love guys like Guthrie ( Don't u dare say that I'm dissing him. LOVE that guy to death! I will break ur arm off and beat u with it if u say that!! LOL), but while, as a guitar player myself, I love all that stuff by guys like him (and others players), I'm not sure my non-guitar playing friends could find enjoyment listening to them.... Randy please come back!!!

[@richardpapa242]

[@mannyfragoza9652]
