The idea that you could run around the Sunset Strip and see Randy at one club, George at another, and then King Edward down the street on a Saturday night is mind-blowing.

[@Mark-jw7to]

@@PickettMusic van Halen already had 2 albums out at that time so you could not see them at a club anymore

[@PickettMusic]

@Mark-jw7to lol. I'm talking about 76-77, and all those guys competing for real estate on the Strip.

Never been a guitarist like Randy before or after his life!!

[@humanactivated1017]

he clearly was no Eddie.

[@randallrhoads3271]

@@humanactivated1017 true...Randy was a much heavier player...a much better song writer/composer....didnt copy other peoples songs doing cover songs and did much more than just tapping every song. True, Randy was no Eddie...thank God.

[@Slapjabber]

@@randallrhoads3271You are correct sir. Ain’t Talkin’ ‘bout Love is the wimpiest song ever and Dee is the heaviest song I’ve ever heard. I had to go to the emergency room after head banging my head against the wall while listening to it.

[@randallrhoads3271]

@@Slapjabber heh heh...sorry bro, but the VH songs have aged badly....considered goof party rock now. The first record, although way over produced, was a very good record.... it was all down hill after that. I mean they covered a motown song...guess they couldnt write their own songs. They were getting more poppy and silly..culminating in the worse song of the 80's..JUMP...4 minutes of pop/cringe misery. The 2 Ozzy/Randy records sound like they were released yesterday....just astonishing, cutting edge compositions...timeless. But hey, you keep on "Dancing the Night Away". lol....

[@dsalbert9572]

Long live Saint Rhoads!! I never got to see Randy live- he passed in my senior year at h.s. Alot of my friends and peers in highschool got to see him with Ozzy shortly before and RAVED about him- so blessed to at least see/hear him on media like this! Loved Zepp and Rush throughout my school years- then heard EVH and Randy- some great memories of these awesome bands and players! RIP Randy and Eddie!!

[@rosskrause3926]

I was lucky enough to see him with Ozzy for the Blizzard of Oz and Diary of a Madman tours in Dallas Texas..those were the best times of my life !

[@Somenite]

Drives me crazy that I keep seeing top 10/20/30/whatever guitarist lists these days that don't include him. Randy could hold his own with the best and Diary and Blizzard were both guitar masterpieces.

[@TheChadPad]

Man, Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, Dimebag Darrell...why do we lose all the greats so young?

[@EDDIE-c7f8y]

GW: What were Randy’s main influences? Rudy Sarzo: His influences were late-’60s, early-’70s English rock guitar players. He didn’t have any R&B influence or anything, so it’s totally English. And classical music because of his schooling. His mother had a lot to do with that, teaching him and influencing him with classical music. So by the time he got to England, he was not like a typical American guitar player who had had the influence of R&B music and country music, because he’d never played that. GW: Were there any particular players he admired? Rudy Sarzo: Yeah, let me tell you who they were. He really admired Gary Moore and Eddie Van Halen. Those were the top two guys he really, really admired.

[@JamesLaumand]

He still alive secrets

[@Sal-7777]

THE GREATEST EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Daddybell6957]

Dang i saw this solo years ago.. was it pulled off of youtube or what...

[@revwillyg6450]

Nice! I always wondered why he chose the les paul. That thick neck looks hard as hell to do all that on, at least to me. Maybe it was the challenge 🤷‍♂️

[@billl.4410]

Back then there were not a lot of options. Pretty much Fenders or Gibsons unless you got something custom, which is was expensive for his club days. When he went to Ozzy and made some money he got his Custom V and Jackson. But Randy's LP was a 72 so the neck wasn't too thick. Pretty much the '68 profile, which kind of slim.

[@revwillyg6450]

@ I guess all Randy's guitars look big because he was such a little dude?

[@snakeeyes3733]

I think he used elements of this solo in 'Suicide Solution' on the Tribute album

[@djshad1885]

You know...looking back and seeing Randy dressed in his 'Im open for business and for all levels of sexual servitude' masonic maid outfit back before Sharon Arden snatched him up and out after his initiation stage was complete puts things in whole new light for us truth seekers. What a shame that these talented people felt that they had to sell themselves and their souls like that for fame and fortune. It is the real tragedy here.

[@toddthomas6593]

good point

[@dougsmaintenanceshop5868]

Masonic maid? Lol what is that

[@djshad1885]

@dougsmaintenanceshop5868 Its part of an initation phase. Recent examples are in the Diddy freak off vids and pics with men like LeBron James being turned out at parties to ascend in the luciferian lodge they all belong to. But dont sweat it..its all going to be made public very soon.

[@Micah_Blitz11]

What?

[@jackmasters9953]

What year was this? Feels like EVH and Randy learned to tap all on their own. One not influenced by the other. RIP Rock Gods 🤘

[@fozziebear7139]

Says 1979.

[@jackmasters9953]

Duh. My bad😂

[@listenup7284]

Eddie had already put eruption on record and was doing it before that .. randy clearly got it from Eddie.. let's not be disrespectful. Listen to "I'm the one" and you'll hear him blow the doors off anything randy did here.

[@mooch514]

​@@listenup7284ace frehley was tapping in 75 and on kiss alive 2 with his shock me solo. Not sure who got it from who!

[@Washington-Dreaming]

At around 0:25 Eddie Van Halen would’ve had both hands on the fretboard but for Randy it was unnecessary. Randy must’ve had really long fingers and playing in a standard way - left hand on the fretboard and picking with the right - has huge advantages. But this is where I disagree with Eddie as Eddie thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread, while technically Randy was better. My opinion. (If you play classical guitar - I did for quite a few years - you have to be very disciplined. Randy was a very disciplined player so it was easier for Randy to transition to classical where Eddie would’ve had a harder time.)

[@TheJimburke]

[@teriakamoto]

It’s his timing and the space between notes. The notes not played. He’s very neo-classical and makes sense. He had a good understanding of music obviously. Flavors. Just different.

[@fozziebear7139]

Snuck a little Eruption in there.

[@joeylodes]

Diary of a Meh Man ??? lol Rhoads shined in the studio , especially on that second Ozzy album. Simply Epic

[@bobubastardbbqandmetal9908]

There is this guy called "fluff" on this platform that says that Randy Rhoads tone sucks..No Fluff, you suck.

[@amirthepirate]

Fluff is Hot 🔥 Garbage from july's summer dumpster~

[@Washington-Dreaming]

This had to be when he was playing for Quiet Riot. I think not long afterwards he was recruited by Ozzy Osbourne, which ironically might’ve been the worst thing to ever happen to Randy Rhoads. But perhaps if Randy does something else he might still be alive. But it was a double-edged sword because Randy became famous but then he died in short order after that.

[@chitownbluesy]

I'm sure Andre and Shane are far superior guitar players. That's why they're on here posting about how lame Randy was.

[@Mr.PeabodyateU2]

Some people say the dumbest shit without even thinking about what they are saying, no respect, it's just the world we live in nowadays..

[@ScottZrocky]

Too bad there's not a lot of footage of Randy due to Ozzy hogging the camera even during solos

[@adamweaver1594]

I think Eddie was a better tapper. However, Randy was a better songwriter, performer, and had much more music theory knowledge.

[@davidwilliamson2341]

Van Halen was commercial popish group as they moved on! Eruption an a few others were great but whose gonna set around an listen to Van Halen when Zep, Skynnrd, Sabbath, Floyd, ACDC, SRV,ZZTOP, ARE AROUND YOU SELDOM HEAR VAN Halen on classic Rock stations anymore!

[@zenn3339]

I have never understood the hype behind Randy Rhoads

[@PickettMusic]

@@zenn3339 well, his ideas were pretty cool and really developed by the time he worked with Bob Daisley. I feel like certain elements of his playing weren't as refined as other players, but he had cool ideas and compositions.

[@chrisgonzalez4414]

Laughing gas ... Later used parts of this on the live version on suicide solution

[@schenker4]

When you compare Eddie who in 79 has already recorded VH2 to this ??? Eddie was always light years ahead of RR.

[@bham311]

There’s no disputing the fact that he was a great player, but when I listened to this I heard echoes of EVH all through it…for someone who didn’t like Eddie, he sure tried to sound like him. Granted this is just one small clip, but I don’t think anyone can deny the similarities between the two.

[@asterio8405]

I clearly remember when I was a youngster, how I like to hear these "prodigy" guitar guys doing their solos and boasting about supposedly being very good. Now, this really annoys me. Boring stuff. Nothing like find out how good a guitarist is when its playing, together with the playing of the other guys, make a song legendary or at least pretty good. Many guitarists could and can do what Randy was doing there but very few could consistently be part of the making of legendary songs or at least a temporary hits. I actually liked Ozzy more when he wasn't playing with this guy.

[@billybloggs3214]

Almost as good as I showed him

[@MK356BC]

Randy Rhoads was so much better than Eddie

[@Mklepiros]

All bubble gum guitar playing ... Like the priest with turbo lover.

[@jahfaraiskunkman1903]

MATTEO MANCUSO

[@TruthSurge]

40 years AFTER this was filmed! Name one Mancuso song that has a MEMORABLE solo. He's great but every solo is just maxed out with insane licks near the end every time. Extreme talent doesn't necessarily mean memorable tunes. Does he have an album out yet? I don't even know.

[@PickettMusic]

Lol! Just stop. At no point did EVH copy RR. And you can hear why.

[@catpocalypsenow8090]

Did EVH ever incorporate classical music into this playing? If so, please inform us.

[@PickettMusic]

@catpocalypsenow8090 the etude at the end of Eruption is clearly classically derived...not that it matters. Incorporating 'classical' elements was happening before and after Eddie and Randy, and guys like Uli Roth and Gary Moore sort of pre-paved the road Randy was on.
