In memory of Randy Rhoads : Guitars, Amps and more (originally published in 2018) 

Magic comes along very few times in life. Randy was pure magic. For me, Best guitar player of all time. Rip RR

I remember the first time I saw and heard Randy on TV. I had only started playing guitar about a year before that moment. He inspired me like no other guitarist ever!!! Rest in peace Randy.... You touched so many lives in such a short period of time. 👍😎🎸

友達の部屋でオジーのランディートリビュートアルバム聴いてＨＭ/ＨＲにどっぷりハマって今も尚…いつ聴いてもランディーのリフ＆ソロはカッコいい！

For a man I never met, who died the year I was born, and whose legacy was so short, he has had a tremendous influence over me and my playing.

Eddie Van halen made me pick up the guitar for the first time , but Randy was the one who made me want to learn as much as i could and to keep practicing no matter how much i got frustrated and felt like quitting altogether , and Randy's unbelieveable style and technical ability just made something inside of me wake up and get to it and never give up playing , that was 40 years ago and I still play Randy's guitar work on my guitar to this day and I will until I'm dead or I can't physically play anymore .Thank you for this memorial video of MY guitar hero who kept me inspired , a true legend . RIP Randy Rhoads , you will always be missed brother . \m/ \m/

素晴らしいスーパーギタリストだったと思う。 とてもメロデイアスなギターフレーズは最高だ。

MY FIRST CONCERT WAS OZZY ON 3/18/82 HERE IN KNOXVILLE TN I REMEMBER IT LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY WATCHING RANDY PLAY LIVE WAS UNBELIEVABLE HE WAS AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITARISTS EVER

my Wife and I had the pleasure of visiting Musonia last summer .. Kelle couldn't have been kinder and more gracious .. great guy.

I started playing guitar in 1985. I didn’t know a single person that played so I just sat on the side of my bed everyday after school with a Mel Bay book lol. When I started high school I met my best friend till this day and he was in a band. The took me in and introduced me to RR and it was like a musical Nuke went off inside me. It was a whole new world of pure orgasmic sounds that honestly made me forget all about girls for a couple years. I tried to date a few times but I quickly realized girls were a major distraction that I didn’t have time for. I was going to be like RR and nobody was going to stop me. Three years later I was playing on a 4Wheeler a few hours before a gig. Yup I broke both arms, left wrist & hand in 5 places. My left arm was in a cast of some variation for 14 months then I had about 6 months of rehab. I got super addicted to pain meds. Musical future OVER! I tried to make a comeback in the mid 90s but the magic (what little I had) was just gone from my left hand forever. I still play but there’s no lightning in me. I’m going to try to record my first and only album (God willing) this summer just so my son will have some of my music to remember me by. If I can get this done I’ll be happy.

身内の墓をここまで詳しく紹介してくれるのは日本人の感覚ではまずあり得ないと思います。それはヤングギター誌の長年の世界的な信頼があるからだと思います。 また、このようなホームビデオ的な映像を提供してくれたランディの親族に感謝しなければならないと思います。 近年はRU-vidが便利になり、手軽に何でも見れるようになりましたが、まずは「見させて頂いている」という気持ちが大事だと思いました。

40 years today. I was going to Azusa High School that Friday, and remember hearing it on the radio at lunch. I was 15 and had just seen them in Phoenix the previous June.

クラシックギターをマスターして、更に進化したランディのサウンドを聴きたかった。 R.I.P Randy

RIP Randy. Ive probably thought about Randy almost every day since over 40 yrs ago. Still listen to his music and try and learn it. Been working on the SATO solo for almost a month now. He was my favorite.

One of the greatest guitar player that ever walk on this planet. Simply amazing. Randy Rhoads forever

There is a video out there where Ozzy and Randy are playing Crazy Train and Randy is playing the lead and doing his guitar god thing that he does, and Ozzy is leaning on the mic stand and rocking out. Then he looks over at Randy and you see this look on his face and you can tell he is just as blown away by Randys playing as everyone else at the show. He understood he made a very good decision. Sadly Randy is gone and has been for a long time. Just imagine what he would have brought to the world of rock-in-roll.

オジー・オズボーンの初来日ライブに行きましたよ。 ランディーローズはその前に亡くなりました。 彼の代わりに来たのがブラッド・ギルスでした。

Randy's pedalboard looks like a precursor to modern floor style multi-effects pedals like line 6 and Boss.

Thanks for bring us this! Much love to the entire Rhoad’s family. Keeping the music alive a long time.

The man is a legend and to me a guitar god in every way imaginable. He always loved to progress in his playing. R.I.P. Randy…. Always Missed

One of the best there ever was, and for me, the King of them all 👑 . Rest in peace King RR

R.I.P to the person who made me pick up the guitar when I was 13. Going on 31 now and I'll never forget when I first heard crazy train. I was blown away by the guitar playing and knew I had to play. Then when I heard the Blizzard of Oz album and found out who the guitar player was for Ozzy that was the beginning.

Jake E. Lee will forever be my favorite player....but I can't say enough how big of an influence Randy was on my playing especially early on.....and Diary Of a Madman is hands down Ozzys best album by a huge margin. I was lucky enough to have met Randy's mom once before she passed....she was a very sweet woman. Hard to believe it has been 40 years since we lost Randy....can only imagine how much amazing music he still had to offer. Will always remain a tragic loss.

ランディローズは、大好きなギタリストです♪♪ ランディというと　水玉模様のギターと　ベストの思い出があります。　クラシカル的な要素がある　ギター🎸サウンドが、好きです。この動画では、ランディの実家を観れて、とても良かったです❣️🎵❣️

ITS SO GOOD 2 SEE U BOTH HEY KELLY AND KATHY! Sending Love to you all Truly find it hard to believe Randy has been gone now 40 yrs i think about him every day and miss the time he and i would run around from time to time he was one of the coolest nice guys ever for all that never knew him Much Love and as you know I moved away at the end of 1982 just to HARD to stay in Sana Monica Burbank Area After he was taken miss you all Love to all XOX 🎸🎀🎸💔 40 YRS ...T.A.RHOADS 🎸💔💫

Randy's Sister and Brother are great ..we can tell how much they love and are so proud of their brother. As they should be ..He was one of the greatest musicians of his time and a wonderful person. Thank you both for sharing this with us about Randy. We love him too. His music lives forever in our hearts ..

I love Randy and every note he played! I've visited his mausoleum . I got RR tattoo on my hand when I was younger. I play his music and still think of him as the greatest. I love all the music from the other guys in the 80s. George Lynch, Eddie Van Halen, Warren demartini, Reb beach. Dio, and many more. But Randy is untouchable by all. His music is magical and special. It's f*cking Great is what it is. And I'll always be his biggest fan!!!

ロックを辞めてクラッシックに行きたがっていたのは有名な話ですね。言われてみればコンコルドにそっくりですね。MrクロウリーのEP版が最高にカッコよく16歳から54歳現在まで毎日聴いてます。

He was so ahead of his time an amazing virtuoso The Ozzy Tribute album is one of the greatest masterpieces in history He touched so many RIP Randy 🙏

Thank you for sharing and sorry for your families loss it was a terrible loss for everybody especially the musical community. I’m so inspired by your brother still

Kathy and Kelle are just the Sweetest souls and truly keep the flame burning also kelle is a stellar Musician Himself!

Man.......what id give to play the star spangled banner through the "chip pan" via those marshal stacks... Never Forget you R.R.

Randy may not physically be here but he's never left us.Hes here,he's everywhere,he's alive in every guitar player in the world.At some point every kid wants a Jackson Rhodes..The shape captivates..Ive had dozens of them..He started off a teacher and in His short time with Ozzy his recordings are still and always will be a part of every new guitar players learning experience..His impact profound and massive!!I have too mention the selflessness of Rudy Sarzo who never complains or bats an eye when people bring up Randy..Hes always talking about the time he had with Randy..And hes always so proud.Rudy really cared about him and it shows..I love you Rhodes family and thanks for sharing your treasures with the world..ive been struggling for 35 years with an issue and would give anything to sit in Randys room for an hour with a guitar..

God bless the entire Rhoads family. We all lost a friend when he past. Thanks for sharing with us. Randy will always be my favorite guitarist. Never met him, but his music touched my soul.

シェアして下さってありがとうございます R.I.P

Awesome! Was hoping to see his white les Paul custom.

Wow! thank you so much for an in depth and personal look at Randy's life, history, and legacy. I went to high school with him at Burbank High. Such an inspiration. RIP!

Thank u soooooo much for sharing this was an awesome tour of the school and all of Randy's stuff enjoyed it

Very cool. Really enjoyed it all and love seeing the original items coupled with the tidbits of info about each.

When a Randy Rhoad’s video has got English and Japanese subtitles. You know it’s serious shit.

Randy Rhoads has been the single greatest influence on my own guitar playing for the past 40+ years. A constant inspiration, and he still has the ability to move me.

Thanks for sharing this. Randy was the guitar master.....

Excellent video, very interesting seeing all Randy’s gear. I was lucky enough to see him live with The Blizzard Ozz at the Edinburgh Odeon in the early 80’s…..he signed the ticket which I still have!! What a superb guitarist he was, you must be very proud of him.

Awesome video. As a guitar player myself Randy’s work is still my favorite. Thanks for this video…

Randy Rhoads inspired Alexi Laiho too.. now they shred in heaven.. RIP legend..

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing this video. ❤️

Great content for many years young guitar.love you people for this great channel and magazine

I've never seen this before thanks you two for making this video.This is Awesome I've been a huge Randy Fan since the 80's. I heard someone broke into Musonia & stole a bunch of memorabilia & some was damaged, this us horrible. I'd love to come visit some day thank you for sharing.

動画をUPしてくれてありがとう。 Randy…RIP

I want to start with the biggest thank you for this video. Can’t believe it’s been 40 years since Randy’s passing. Truly a senseless tragedy. In 2020 I was able to visit Flying Baron estates where the crash happened. The house has been rebuilt as it originally was. It’s a beautiful peaceful place. They still run tour buses out of there and there’s still small private aircraft in the hangers. My wife and I sat at the gate and cried really hard. I almost wish I hadn’t seen it. I’m 55 now, and will never stop playing guitar and learning all I can. Randy’s influence on me has been a life long lesson, not just as guitar goes, but to persevere at all I can. Determination to be as good as I can, and to be as humble and appreciative as possible. At 15 years old I had no idea the impact his work really had on me. At now 55 I totally realize how much he changed my life. Thank you so much for this video. And still after 40 years, my deepest condolences to the Rhoads family. May GOD continue to take care of Randy Rhoads. I hope to meet him someday.

Love you guys from what I hear Randy was a sweet spirited guy I study some music theory on guitar wish I could of attended your school ....GOD Bless you guys

Thanx for the video..I loved Randy .I'm jst a fan but It really seemed like you could see his kindness through his eyes..I always felt like a kindred spirit..I'm not perfect.and have done drugs but family music and family again is what makes me keep on going.. thanx again for the vid

貴重な映像、ファンにはたまりません。あの衣装っぽいのをローリーさんが着てる姿が時々ランディーに見えてしまいます。

thanks people, i was there as a teenager when we all enjoyed randys music !!!!!!

wow. wonder why they didn't show the Gibson & the black Jackson V!

Where is Randy's 1972 Les Paul Custom? Did the family sell it?

RIP Randy. Truly an inspiration to me as a guitar player for the past 35 yrs. Man, I wish they brought out the Les Paul.

I saw Randy shortly before he died in San Diego on the Diary of a Madman your. He was one of a kind and I am so grateful for the experience.

Thanks for sharing this precious video with all of us. Thank you so much. 🙏 🎶💕

Those guitars are just so beautiful. I love the Sandoval Polka Dot V and the Jackson Concorde, nice guitars. Just crazy to see them how they looked. I wish we can see how the back of the Polka Dot V looked before he had to put tape on it for the Diary of A Madman tour. I wonder if it has scratches or if some paint came off. Also if the Gibson Les Paul had black tape on the back as well? If anyone knows.

The greatest hard rock/metal guitarist of all time.

I remember hearing Over the Mountain on the radio when it came out. Loved it, loved that while album. RR was metal. Massive inspiration.

I didnt see his white Les Paul?

Wow, this is the coolest, I love looking at Randy’s amps guitar’s and outfits. Hearing his siblings talk all things Randy ❤❤🎸🎸🤟🤟

Taking from us to early, randy had a whole lifetime of music to share with us ,its a shame not many recordings videos of randy but he was a guitar God for such I short time,the guitar sound from the 2 ozzy albums are still 🔥 on fire to this day,rest in peace ✌

Thank you for this video. I think the fans deserve an answer concerning Randy’s Les Paul....? Has it been sold??

where is the white les paul custom?

Me and my high school friends would drive down to Hollywood about once a month and see bands at gazarris the Starwood whisky a gogo Randy Rhodes was incredible playing in quite riot this was before ozzy

He will and should always be remembered

Pete Holmes was the one who built Randy's pedalboard, but I've looked for more information about Pete and I haven't found it, to know if he builds pedalboards for other musicians, you can see that I use MXR pedals but above all a distortion+ to use it as a boost, a Roland Echo Space and a Cry Baby to filter the highs.....

Dee was one disciplined lady. Probably why RR was so good.

Still shocking to me that we have such limited footage of Randy. Can't believe there isn't a full concert,etc.

Awesome video! Damn I was hoping they would of showed Randy’s white Gibson Les Paul custom

Randy will ALWAYS remain Untouchable.

Why didnt you show the Les Paul ??

Such an uplifting but sad video - the pain is still so evident on the faces of these two, and we feel it too. I was only 10 when he died and I had to go to church with my older brother and his friends. I asked why we were going and was told, Randy Rhoads has died. When I asked who he was, my brother just said, 'You'll learn' and I did, very quickly.

As I watched this, I have tears 😭 streaming down my face. I love you baby. We will never forget you.

Wow I love that guitar stand. Beautiful.

どれも雑誌の写真でしか見た事ない機材ばかりで感動。

Randy was an angel with a guitar. He´s gone too soon.

God bless Randy Rhoads,The best guitarist ever

I guess the stories circulating from various people claiming to have acquired Randy’s white Marshall and pedalboard after his passing are not true. Good to see that his family actually has them.

Back in the day the saying was “Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Who?”

I had a JMP stack with Celestion 25s and an original MXR Distortion Plus. It totally nailed that Randy tone no matter what guitar I used.

Where's his les paul??

Young guitar your awesome.aftwr all these years

Loved this video!

LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL 😪 💕🙏🏻🎸🎀🎸🙏🏻💕 MUCH Love xox🙏🏻💕

Where is the white Les Paul???

Unbelievable. Great video. My friend in LA is friends with the family. It’s almost to hard watch.

Kelle Rhoads and John Goodwin the Band Rhoads partied at my home in Rancho Cordova killer buds!

Randy's work was amazing way before joining ozzy

Very heartfelt video🦋

My main inspiration for my guitar playing !! He was one of the best🤘🏻

His legend lives on

Thank U for sharing RANDY'S LIFE STORY ....LOVE U GUYS .....& GOD BLESS ...BYE NOW

4:32 Randy Rhoads Cabernet wine ad.......Keeping that legacy alive through cheap ass wine. 🍷 🥂 🍷

Wonder why they didn’t show his Gibson Les Paul custom. They only showed the case. And I hope them guitars were actually his, not the replicas. But I’m thinking replicas. Too risky to bring Randy’s real ones out of the vault.

Thank you Kelle. Thank you Kathy.

First there was Les Paul, then Jimi Hendrix, then Eddie Van Halen, then Randy rhoads. Each man blew the guitar world away. I heard Van Halen 1 first, then about a year later I'm listening to the radio and I hear the baddest song I ever heard, flying high again. It was like holy shit, who is playing that guitar. Although Eddie and Randy are in the same era, they were fundamentally different. Eddie was why everything went to tablature because how do transpose his style in traditional sheet music. Randy rewrote the book for heavy metal. I started playing around and every new group that came out tried to sound like either one. That's when you realize the impact. I love Eddie, but Randy is why I still play. He just had kind of a sinister sound that I love. Wish he was still here

What happened with the les Paul custom white?
