RANDY RHOADS Tragic PLANE CRASH Death Site LEESBURG, FL Ozzy

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yesterday would have been Randy's 64th Birthday.. the music lives on...

[@laurastrobel718]

Happy Birthday Randy, wherever you are💝🎆🎈🎉

[@samanthab1923]

Wow, can't believe it.

[@ellenkortes6420]

Aweeee😢Ozzy's was on the 3rd

[@kelleymariejones6388]

Never trust a bus driver with a expired pilot’s license and cocain possession on him. 🤨Oh my goodness, we have two of the greatest guitarists dead ( Randy Rhodes and Eddy Van Halen), loved Randy and adore the Osborne’s to this day! Crazy train is my life’s anthem!😂😂😂😂😂

[@mikehartsook5281]

I REMEMBER WHEN THAT HAPPENED WHAT A DAM SHAME IT WAS. RANDY RHODES MOTHER WAS A CLASSICAL MUSIC TEACHER AND EVERYTIME RANDY RHODES WAS IN TOWN FOR A CONCERT HE WOULD GO FIND A MUSIC SCHOOL THAT TAUGHT CLASSICAL MUSIC AND HE WOULD LEARN CLASSICAL GUITAR CHORDS.

[@KatyMarie726]

It's a sad story! I imagine what his life would have been if he was still here. An amazing mentor and class act musician. Excellent job, Jordan!👏💕

[@julistrauss870]

Jordan, back when my husband and I were dating, we used to go to the Starwood nightclub in West Hollywood almost every night. At that time Quiet Riot was the house band. I remember seeing Randy with his red & white polka dotted guitar and matching bow tie.......

[@captainscentsible1811]

Jordan is the man ! 👨 Nobody had more riff's then Randy Rhoades 😁❤

[@MartyPowell55]

Thank you, Jordan.. This still breaks my heart.. I'm in Tampa, and I remember seeing this on the local news.. I was 11, and remember being so shocked over something so avoidable..

[@jamiemartinez8674]

I saw Randy in Quiet Riot and Ozzy..Amazing guitarist..great piece Jordan..Keep keeping on Jordan..

[@navyskaterdude]

If I was a Musician I would ABSOLUTELY stay clear of airplanes and flying. The talented folks lost to crashes is so sad.....Hope your enjoying your Florida trip Jordan. Have a Merry Christmas 🎅🎄☃️

[@BlackestSheepBobBarker333]

The video you did with Randy's brother was spectacular. Thank you for following it up. Take care

[@KeriLudwig1027]

Yes...this was very sad, Jordan. I love the song Crazy Train and will appreciate the song even more. I was thinking how terrified Randy must have been with the pilot doing all those dangerous stunts.

[@nomovingparts3371]

I had a feeling this was going to be one of your stops in FLA. I felt the same way you did when I visited a few years back. Randy is still my favorite musician to this day!!!

[@Spanky_Lugnutz]

I share Randys birthday so I enjoyed listening to his tunes while having a shot or 2 of jack he was an amazing and gifted person I wish we could have seen all his potential

[@bette-grandmom]

One could see what a fan you were and how visiting here affected you. To close with a walk in that beautiful park was renewing. Life is to be cherished while here and lovingly remembered when gone. Blessings to you.

[@GramGram-nr5wx]

Great video!! Crazy Train is one of my favorite songs. Look at those moss covered trees. That's how you know you are in the deep South.

[@Heather_Lynn]

I watched this vlog and then I went and checked out your other vlogs on Randy. What a sad sad story. Thank you for keeping his memory alive!

[@Bob-jg3vq]

Glad you told the whole story on Randy Rhodas plane crash that I didn't know. What a tragic and irresponsible ending for not only Randy but the other passengers.

[@lilfloridaprepper5446]

I thought you were talking about Leeward air ranch… My parents had a house built out there many years ago where John Travolta has property… Very sad story… Absolutely love your videos! Thanks for bringing us along and showing us all the places that Many of us will never have the opportunity to see

[@JawTooth]

I just got back from spending a week in central Florida. Almost stepped on an alligator that was laying on a trail that I was walking on. It was narrow and next to the water. There was also an alligator in the ditch in front of the motel. I saw about a dozen of them this week.

[@briangisler1981]

No bigger Randy Rhoads fan on this planet than me. He was a true musical genius, I say no more. I’ve been listening to Randy since I was 11/12 years old. He died when I was 13. I still hear stuff in headphones to this day almost 40 years later that just blows my mind. Great video thank you, very sad 😞 But thank you. Very well done! People like YOU will keep Randy alive forever! !!! Thank you.

[@rebels42wynn83]

I still miss Randy to this day. I remember this tragedy . I was 10 years old and had seen the story on " Good Morning, America". At just 25-years-old, Randy was just too young to be taken away so soon. May his legacy continues forever. #stillmissin'urandy

[@rjjabjiniak8848]

I have a special place in my heart for Randy Rhoads. One of the best to ever pick up the guitar. Thank you Jordan. This made my day. Been listening to Randy all day since watching your vlog. Keep up the great work! Love all that you do.

[@PaulLoughrin]

Thanks Mr. Jordan. Unspeakably sad. I remember hearing about the crash from a girl, when we were in English class. I was 16, then. Yea, FL is so beautiful! I love the Egrets, clean air, and, of course, the palm trees! 🌴

[@mbass718]

Thanks for doing this tribute to Randy's last moments. I just recently watched the video you did at Musonia with Kelle. I always wondered how he feels now as sort of the gatekeeper to all things Randy. I knew they hadn't had the best relationship for years but was glad when he said they made up in the last two months Randy was alive. It must weigh on him somewhat to always get asked about Randy but it's cool that he's doing what he can to keep Randy's memory alive. That was kind of heartbreaking to see though as it was his birthday yesterday. Very bittersweet!! There was metal before Randy then metal after Randy. He completely changed the way metal was played and is still influencing countless gtr players. Happy birthday up in heaven Randy 😇💔✌️💜🙏

[@lorih2924]

Such a tragedy of how Randy Rhoades was killed. He had such a God given talent for the guitar. So sad. Thank you, Jordan for sharing with us where the tragedy happened and for ending the vlog on a little lighter note. God rest his soul. God continue blessing you.

[@deesnider6304]

It is heartbreaking that we no longer have Randy Rhodes with us. Thanks Jordan for taking us to the site. I had always wanted to see it. RIP RANDY

[@bjgz]

I agree, this was a heartbreaking tragedy. I was deep into metal during the 80s and remember it well. Out of all the rockers of that era you couldn't have found a more undeserving soul of such an unfortunate fate. Like you said, he wasn't even into the hard rock and roll lifestyle and had other interests in life. He simply happened to have a talent that put him in that environment, at the mercy of others who made bad choices. Coincidentally, I happen to play a Jackson Rhoads guitar myself, so I am reminded of this every day. Thanks for taking the time and effort to visit that spot, no doubt it was hard to see.

[@TommyTheCat42]

I have a big tattoo of Randy on my back playing his Les Paul, I got to show Randy’s brother Kelle & sister Kathy when I met them. It was an honor to say the least!

[@joshuamack342]

What would Randy have created had he lived? Diary Of a Madman was a MONSTER RECORD with Randy front and center!!!

[@specwill1]

Great video bro 👍. The second half was so calming and beautiful. Thanks

[@MICHELLE-gu2qc]

Wonderful tribute Jordan, Man he was just a kid, such a sad story. The gardens were stunning I love the colour of the ducks feathers . I love the Spanish Moss hanging from the trees its spooky Thank you Jordan for all your hard work. The guy fishing has balls RIP Randy

[@57Banjoman]

Thank you for a really good video, I remember this-so sad-you have an amazing ability to get access to private areas-thanks!

[@UnBoxLifeWithLori]

Great vlog Jordan. Very sad that a gifted musician died due to the pilot not only being high but also showing off. *If you haven't made your mind up on where to move, I think you should consider Florida. There is so much to see, do, and vlog about.

[@TonyandSusie-MillersontheMove]

Gate was open and unlocked , because you were destined to do this Vlog!!! Thank you !🙏🏻 because of your other Randy Rhodes Vlogs, we went to see Randys grave in person ❤️❤️

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

I felt that way honestly.. I couldn't believe gates just kept being open, thats why I started filming them.. I was very worried I wouldn't be able.to get in, and this was one I really felt passionate about seeing and feeling.. I had the weirdest feeling the whole time.. like randy was in the car beside me or something.. unlike anything I've ever felt before.

[@TonyandSusie-MillersontheMove]

@@DazewithJordantheLion that’s so incredible! You were in tune with spirit in that moment & I feel Randy was acknowledging his presence to you as gratitude in helping keep his spirit alive! That’s beautiful 💕

[@kmc528]

I was 9 when Randy died, thanks for sharing that Jordan as Randy was a one of a kind, who was truly a musical genius who accomplished so much in his short 25 years. Just imagine what he would have done for music had that not happened.

[@bigalb8935]

Awesome video Jordan I remember it like yesterday. You are on point very accurate what a sad story he hated flying

[@Erin_Coke]

I didn't know who Randy was until I saw your vlogs with his brother. I could tell that, although this was a sad one for you, that it meant a lot for you to do. Thanks for sharing. I think Randy would smile if he saw this.

[@chrysanthepaxinos2839]

Amazing musician. My nephew asked me (when he was a teenager and learning guitar) who my favorite guitarist was, and I told him to watch the Crazy Train vid on KZbin. He was awestruck.

[@jerrybishop2115]

Both Blizzard and diary of a madman are awesome!!❤❤😎✌✌

[@sabrinapittsley2304]

I live about 25 minutes from there in Ocala, FL. I loved Randy Rhoads. Have driven by there many times over the years and always think of Randy whenever I am in the area.

[@meetthekitties2740]

Thank you for this. What a wonderful video.

[@ellennewth6305]

What a sad ending to a great talent. This is truly a fitting tribute for Randy's 64th birthday. Kind of weird that you had such easy access to the estate. Almost like you were meant to vlog it. The little park you took us to afterwards was awesome (alligators ? and all) Thank you, Jordan!

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

It was pretty unbelievable to me that everything was open. May randy be making music wherever he may be..

[@frankholt4325]

I remember when this tragedy happened. I was living in San Antonio Tx RIP Randy Rhodes & Company.

[@Radioheader]

I agree Jordan, there have been many musical tragedies over time but, for me, Randy dying is the most tragic. I’ve sat and wondered many times what other music he could (and would) have made in his life that we will never get to hear. Very sad. Great video, take care 👍🏻

[@Crystal_1992]

I don’t understand how anyone can give a 👎 on any Jordan the 🦁 videos !!!

[@thegreatindoorswithedandmi7880]

Thank you for the video. A very sobering look back at a rock tragedy .

[@lauriealexander5857]

Your compassion for your subjects you volg shows and that's awesome❤❤❤

[@karentarr8930]

Beautiful tribute ty Jordan, gone but never forgotten 😿😿😿

[@jeffjohnson4015]

Great blog and as always "Well Done ", I always enjoy the history you share with us. Randy Rhoads was very talented. Good to talk about him again. Have a safe trip !!!!

[@cookingwiththekidd2200]

Very sad ending to Randy's life. Reminder of how precious life is and can be over in an instant. I remember when you posted the vlog of his brother and the studio. There are alligators all over the place down here. We waterski and fish all around them. lol Thanks for sharing this tribute Jordan.

[@beckyyoung725]

My mother in law lived in Leesburg, Fl back in the 90’s. Nice town!

[@alh9750]

Hi Jordan so painful to think of the stupidity of the whole thing ! Tough one great job !

[@dollywilson3395]

Thanks, Jordan. Looks like a lovely day in Florida.

[@davidellis5141]

I used to see Both Van Halen & Quiet Riot at Gazzaris on Sunset Strip. Randy was as good as Eddie. Check out early version of " Slick Black Cadillac " for confirmation.

[@sandeesparkles9682]

What a special vlog tribute to Randy, sad but glad you took me there. I like the way you went to the park after, it was nice seeing the water, hearing the birds and seeing turtles and ducks. I think the sounds of nature are particularly clear after/during a death site graveyard etc. Thank you

[@mariaday712]

Sorry we had to loose Randy this way. What a waste of a beautiful person and talent. I hope Randy rests in peace. Beautiful gardens and glad you didn't get ate anything Jordan. Stay safe, take care and God bless.

[@ellelorraine3540]

Thank you for showing the area there. It's very pretty and the wild life is interesting.

[@karensundin3399]

Great tribute to Randy ❤️. When you were walking around I felt scared for you. Alligators are one of my fears. You have such a compassionate 💜 Loved all the videos about Randy Rhodes❤️. Stay Safe Jordan💕

[@BatsBabyGirl1856]

This vlog was great I feel like I go along with you when you go to different places

[@danlove4270]

It also breaks my heart every time I hear what led to The plane crash. So sad.

[@rcdowdy]

Jordan, you are amazing. The more I watch your videos, the more I want to. Elliot Smith and Gram Parsons were wonderful. Your cover of Elliot's song was spot on. Keep up the great work.

[@texasgina]

So sad I remember reading the newspaper I guess it must’ve been the day after it happened. Everyone of my friends and myself were so upset

[@ellenkortes6420]

Another great 1 Jordan👍 I too was sad when I realized I was looking at the spot a legend lost his life 😢 still enjoyed the Vlog anyways

[@mireilleblacke6567]

Thank you for this vlog. RR is sorely missed.

[@bonitadrake3046]

Excellent video❤ Randy is one of my favorite guitarists of all time! So sad he was taken way too soon.

[@josephbrashears8558]

The night before, they played Knoxville, TN, at the old civic coliseum.

[@v2vroth]

Wow Jordan your music vlogs keep rolling in and Rocking hard!🎸🎶

[@RickTexas]

Great video. I am thinking the gates on each side of the runway are operated by the planes that take off and land, so people on the road know a plane is coming.

[@keithowensmusic37]

I had tickets to see Randy in Greensboro, NC. Once I heard Crazy Train on the radio, he became my favorite guitarist. This was very sad for me. I too have spent time with Kelle and toured Musonia, and visited his grave (5 years ago). I had the local news paper of this tragic accident after it happened because someone knew someone who lived in Leesburg at the time and brought it to us in North Carolina. Thanks for this video.

[@Katwoman4318]

Thanks Jordan for this vlog. Another great one.

[@janadeubner9883]

What a sad sad day for music. RIP Randy. Thank you Jordan.

[@janadeubner9883]

I saw on Ozzy Osbourne's instagram yesterday a picture of him and Randy on stage and he wished Randy a happy birthday. He said rest in peace my friend. thought I'd share.

[@pierbradshaw9674]

Yes that was very sad 😥 but you keep your Head up and continue to bring us some of that interesting history that I hope everyone enjoys AZ BESAFE

[@jasonmcgovern1364]

Hi Jordan, how sad, and again a fabulous young talented musician gone far too soon RIP Randy. Those gardens are just beautiful. Geez, alligators, like I've said before, If I'd of known there were gators there I'd be off those paths like Roadrunner!! Oh my, and look at all those bits of lunch just walking around on the grass!! Great vlog Jordan.

[@70srocknroll]

I saw randy with ozzy on July 4th 1981 day on the green oakland ca

[@rosannabedoya7668]

No kidding, I’ve learned more about music history from your vlogs than I did in my Jazz to Rock into course. And, you’re definitely much more interesting!😄

[@derekshoup9579]

Randy"s final concert was in Knoxville, TN

[@laurastrobel718]

It does hurt the heart to think about this... Lives lost because of someones' foolishness... Especially ironic because Randy didn't like flying and was straight. The year that he died, he was included in Rolling Stone's end of the year issue which included names and photos of those in pop entertainment who had passed. There was a quote by Ozzy that said" Randy had a spark"... You could see it just by looking at him. Great idea going to that park after... It was pretty and peaceful. Thanks Jordan☺💝🎆 RIP Randy 🌹

[@plymouthduster2252]

Really enjoy watching your vlogs Jordan. I remember watching the vlog where you talked to Randy's brother. Do you ever plan on doing a vlog on Stevie Ray Vaughan's helicopter crash site? I remember watching your vlogs about him and the one especially on the locations for the music video for Crossfire. Hope you are having a great time in Florida. Cant help but wonder what Jah would do when he seen those ducks.

[@joshx022]

If randy were alive today, he'd be healthy and more well known than slash. Clean man and one of the best shredders I've ever heard. His impact on ozzy is unprecedented.

[@BHayes-jv2rz]

I saw this video one time where ozzy listens to a lost randy rhoads solo and he was probably heart broken inside RIP randy rhoads

[@judithmitchell4667]

Thank you Jordan. A sad video but a respectful and interesting one on the shorted life of a artist with great potential. Who knows what he would have accomplished. It was. Interesting to know the details about his last moments and how the crash occured. On another note, were those alligator signs for real or just a joke? I was worried for you the entire time you were walking through that garden. We don't have those signs in Michigan - just dangerous current signs along the great lakes. Blessings - Judith 🎵🎭

[@glitter-lk5dz]

You'd best believe that gators are around in Florida, along with wild boars and poisonous snakes.

Had tickets to see Ozzy with Randy Rhoads in Detroit, Michigan the show was just weeks away before the tragic accident

[@mbass718]

Similar with me..I had Tix to see Randy at MSG just two weeks after he died 💔. Still bothers me that I never saw him.

[@daveturbo6292]

Damn that's sad.

[@mbass718]

@@daveturbo6292 It really sucks.. it's probably my biggest musical disappointment out of musicians who I could have seen.

[@geogarcia4065]

The church that Rudy has said that he went to, right after.....not sure if that is around there, but that would have been a nice addition to this video. Thanks for sharing J.

[@cindycinnamon1965]

So young and so tragic and it shouldn't have happened. Long live Randy Rhoades!

[@MrSouthofBoston]

I saw that tour shortly after his death. It was at the Boston Gardens, on April 2, 1982. Future Night Ranger guitarist Brad Gillis was the replacement. UFO was the opening act. I remember hearing news of his death. I was in a record store just outside of the city. I thought the show would be canceled but the show went on.

[@gregwong1899]

I saw quiet riot open for a band called Angel back in june 27 1978 in california at the santa monica civic auditorium.Randy was an unknown amazing guitar player back then, he played his white 1974 gibson les paul custom and he wore a pink shirt and white pants it was pre polka dot bow tie era.I will never forget right after the set i said to my friend, that blond haired guy on guitar was outrageous on guitar not only that but while we were standing inline to go in we over heard Randys girl friend Jodi say to her friend that Quiet riot was going to blow angel away Oh what memories!!!!!!!

[@josephpowell3949]

Wow! I remember reading about this but forgot some of the facts, Thanks!

[@JCStorm76]

The plane was barely 6 feet off the ground when it crashed, I’ve actually seen a blurry photo of it just before impact. Just incredible

[@geraldrice8137]

Randy is the Greatest I've ever heard..he jus is

[@musicmavenpublishing2265]

How many lives have been ruined because of drugs. God bless. Thank you for this video. Randy is one of my Spirit Guides. He's watching this with me. His Spirit is very much alive. He truly appreciates your sentiment and how emotional you are over his passing. ❤
