One of the best covers in RU-vid. Hands down.

That's probably the cleanest solo I've ever watched.

10 year gone and i still coming here to see this masterpiece

If Randy recorded this solo given today's technology, this is what it'd sound like. Unbelievable.

Nobody: Me: looks at guitar My Guitar: don't even think about it.

Usually you see a lot of guys playing solos perfectly note by note, but lacking in feeling. This guy really feels it and make you feel it too. It is amazing.

0:34 It's incredible that in such a technically intricate solo one of the most difficult parts to master is a "simple" bend. I've never heard anyone hit the same note with the same tone as Randy for that part. This is utterly exceptional, and that isn't meant as a criticism whatsoever, it's just a testament to Randy's tone.

8 years and still the best cover for this song

Seriously?! No one called the cops while he was murdering that guitar in that hotel room?! Props dude.. That was kick ass!

2020 and I'm back to listen to this beastly solo. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

10 years old now. Still sounds amazing 😍

i didn't know it was possible to get chills from a metal solo until today.... unbelievable

Am I the only one who watches this like 3 times a week?

When I get drunk and play guitar I feel I'm playing like this guy

All these years later and this STILL slaps

This is the best version on RU-vid and it's not even close!

Unbelievable. Easily one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

It really blows my mind to see somebody play the guitar so effortlessly

I’ve probably listened to this 50 times, never gets old.

My favorite guitar solo in rock. Randy Rhoads was a complete master. The solo is technically difficult but also heavily melodic. It's a pleasure to listen to it. Some solos in current metal music are so complex that it becomes hard to make any musical sense out of them, even if they are impressive on a technical level. But this solo adds so much to the song. A true classic. We really lost an all time great when Randy Died.

Charlie, I don’t remember how many times I’ve watched this video!

It doesn't get any better than this...

Again here. No words, everytime.

Kept his cool and casually puts his headphones back into position. That means throughout that he could feel his headphones slowly falling off but could calculate in his mind that he would have enough time to sort it at a particular point. Pure focus and control

2021. Yet i keep coming back listening to this masterpiece. Super clean.

Great job! Randy would be proud for you.

11 Years later and i still come here to listen to this clean cover.

I can't believe it was 9 years ago, still to this day most clean and most Randy-like solo on youtube.

How the fuck can 98 people dislike this video? Do you think Rhodes would dislike this? The fuck not!!!

I teach here in U.K i always recommend my students to listen to your videos not for just your beautiful playing, but for the fact you eat and breath the passion it takes to play this well. I cant thank you enough

This solo can cure cancer

Wow that looks like Randy is playing through your fingers 😳 the best I have seen 🤘🙏💪✌💯😎🤘🤘

Casi 1 millón de views!! Gracias a todos!!! Almost 1 million views!! Thanks everyone a lot!!!

I can keep watching this till I die.

I think you've been possessed by Randy Rhoads.

I can’t believe this is 10 years old already

When you walk through those pearly gates? RR is gonna hand you a beer, and say, "Well Done"

2:08 The smile of a man Who fucking nailed it

Well done. You make Mr. Rhoads’ proud and he is smiling at you my man!

I’ve watched this video atleast 10 times in an hour. So satisfying

Jesus dude, I never comment on youtube videos but this might have been the best cover I've ever heard. Unbelievable!!

this is my favourite video on youtube

Back 9 years later, still absolute head banging fire!!! Keep it up brother 💪🏼🎸

I keep coming back to this page for therapy. I used to play, but never got anywhere near the talent Charlie has. The man is a Metal God.

This is a masterpiece. Your best work ever, in my opinion. Randy would be very proud of you.

VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY GREAT JOB !

2022 and this solo is still unsurpassed...a masterpiece made for eternity ❤🔥

Favorite part was when Charlie almost knocked his headphones off doing "guitar face". Amazing!!!

Tocar ese solo es un orgullo que pocos lo tienen

This video made me buy a guitar

His fingers are faster than my internet :)

I met slash once in a guitar store , and i asked him "whats the most diffecult song u learned to play?" He responded "Mr crowley is probs the hardest for me to play , because its not my style. But i do love randy"

Dude.. you serious? Man... Just speechless. Randy would be proud.

This is first time I have seen someone play My. Crowley 100% note for note perfect and in complete reverence and respect for the original, he expands on it and truly augments the piece. I've watched this at least 100 times in the last year or so. This is, simply put, a master piece, Charlie. Outstanding! Here we have two artists that despite all the vile things humans do, justify our continued existence.

Don't know how many times I've watched this over the years and I never get tired of his take on Randy's solos.👍🔥

Great tribute to Randall William Rhoads (December 6, 1956 - March 19, 1982). RIP. Too young to die. His legacy lives on

that faceat the end...the faceof knowing you absolutely nailed that take!

This guy is my favorite guitarist.

I have NEVER heard anyone play like randy rhodes. You nailed this. Absolutely amazing. !!!!!

2024, still the best mr crowley solo cover ever.. 🤘

holy cow dude thats some serious skills... the tone, the accuracy, the feeling... you got it all man, good job !!!

I've literally been watching this for four years

Thankyou. Randy is smiling from above

I can't believe it's been 10 years already. Every time I hear Rhandy's guitar tone somewhere I gotta listen to Charlie's solo. Till this day I can't get enough of it.

Who's watching This master piece every year and love it more and more ?

This is too good. Awesome insane skills. Rhandy will be proud.

I lost count how many times i watch this video. Still love it.

Damn, it's been 10 years and I still come back from time to time

Holy shit... awesome. Great tone, great playing, outstanding picking technique... 11 out of 10.

WhAt in the Holy Fuck!!!!!!!! I just got chills every where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WoW!!!...Totally NAILED-IT!!!...Randy would be Proud.........

2nd vid.......ok i'm sold now.seen many do this solo in my 47 yrs drumming.....this guy has the "feel" nuff said.

I come back here every now and then to remind myself how much i still have to learn!

Probably watched this over 100 times over the last 6 years and I still get chills listening to it.

Unbelievable bro. Back after so many years, still remember on how this was one of the reasons I fell in love with guitar and started playing myself. 🙏

I watch this every morning with my coffee. Great way to start the morning grind🤘🤘🤘

Back in 1981, when I was in 7th grade, me and my friend spent the night in my friends boat. We only had one Walkman and one blizzard of Oz tape and we passed it around and took turns listening to it. I fell in love with Randy Rhoads guitar playing. Been listening to Randy and people trying to cover his music for decades. I have NEVER heard anybody play Rhoads and do justice to the beauty of his playing ability like this! Not ever. There was something beyond raw skill in his playing. The composition of his music far exceeded that of the great Eddie Van Halen, as great as he was. Eddie was a tactician and one hell of a tactician at that. But, the melody and composition put Randy on a different plane. Indeed, to compare them is somewhat unfair, like comparing apples to oranges. But for me, Randy’s playing touched the more than heart, while Eddies style made me want to go do something crazy and party. Both awesome. For those looking to feel something deeper, I believe Randy was better. It’s all a matter of what you’re looking for in your music. I think Randy Rhoads was the best. If only he’d lived longer....what we might have seen...and felt.

Que mas decir Charlie? Eres un ejemplo para todos los guitarristas Peruanos, y eres un orgullo para nuestro Pais! Sigue asi, y muchisimos exitos!

I found this video in 6th grade I'm a senior now and listen to this video every day this shit is a masterpiece I really appreciate your talent!

Back again. Cleanest guitar playing I’ve heard

I need someone who can play like this in my band

I drop in once a year to listen to this again and leave a comment on this jaw-dropping homage. Easily my favorite ode to Randy. 🤘🏻

This video is nearly 10 years old but damn dude, you absolutely nailed it!

오랜만에 들어도 감동은 여전하군..

Damn perfect, if I close my eyes I swear that was Randy playing it. Great job

we'll get to 2045 and I'll still be coming back here watching this cant get enough

I might be a little older than many commenters on here, I've watched Ozzy w/Randy in concert play this a couple times in person in 1981. I was at the Day on the Green in Oakland and the following day in Santa Cruz at the Civic Auditorium. I worked for BGP that managed the shows backstage. Randy Rhoades never played the same exact version as on the 8 track and I believe he would be impressed by this.

Friday, June 24th, 2022. Still come back to listen to this guy absolutely going nuts on the guitar ❤️

i think i've been watching this masterpiece for 4.110.000 times. The rest must be from you guys

I have no words for the talent I just saw..I saw Ozzy's concert in mps. Mn 1981 when that song was new..haha

I’ve been playing since I was 16 and this video is what I come back to every time I need to be inspired to keep practicing and get better. Thank you for this

Charlie, I started playing guitar 12 years ago because of you, I was fascinated the first time I saw you. Time to time, I come to watch your old videos for nostalgia. Thank you very much my friend for inspiring me

Beautiful

Charlie, I think you're one of the best guitarists on RU-vid : a lot of them have skill and technique but they're missing what you have : you feel the music you're playing and I guess we feel it too and that's why you're so good. It's probably the best Mr. Crowley cover I've seen on RU-vid and I think Randy would be proud. Cheers

Randy is looking down from heaven and smiling. this is one of the best covers ever. great job man you made Randy proud.

Exactly perfect. Hit every note clean. I preach this every day. Hit every note clean. Practice, Practice, practice. So many young players gloss over or muddy pick the notes to get through it. I always say play clean distorted. No one ever gets it. But you get it. If I was there I would stand and applaud you.

Randy would be proud. That was friggin' awesome!

One of the best guitar solos ever, period.

Has it been 10 years already?! I still can't play it this clean. Love this video.
