Randy Rhoads AMAZING Guitar Solo - Quiet Riot 1979 (Suicide Solution)!! 

We couldn’t agree isn’t you more! Randy was a whole other level of player 🙌🎸🔥

Naw, he was 1 of a kind !

That probably show how nice of a guy he really was. Most other guitar rock stars would of yelled "Get the F out of here!" lol Great story man, incredible really.

Must have been really sad for you when he passed.

@@mikemph7779 Mind numbing, he was such a a nice person. Peace

@@Superjet113 It was some of the highest parts of my life. Meeting Randy Rhoads! It would be like meeting jimi Hendrix for people in that era . I'm blessed. Very small in stature , but so cool.

That’s a cool story. Lucky guy.

RIGHT?! I couldn’t agree with you more! I heard a rumor that Sharon put the Kibosh on any footage of RR ever getting out. But who knows if that has any truth to it 🤷‍♂️

Right. ..

@@MastersofShred If that’s the case Sharon needs to stop being stingy with the footage and share to all of us before “ Weeee die “ I could get hit by a bus tomorrow or die from The Modelo/virus 😂😷 so give it up Sharon 😤

Hell yeah. You guys are so right.fuck Sharon for that. Rip randy.

It has been confirmed that there is more footage of Randy from the Diary of a Madman tour.

He studied classical guitar for many years. Ozzy was actually wondering "why the fuck his management was wanting him to check out a 22 year old 'classical guitar teacher'."

that was Dana Strum's idea.

I feel exactly the same way.

I believe you're right. It is "Dee" towards the end. Thank you for pointing that out.

I had to Go Back after I read this. Absolutely was Dee. Amazing film footage too. Anytime I hear or see him playing it takes me to a better place. Amazing.

Always giving thanks to his mom for the music in his life.

i saw him also

By modern standards, Rhodes is somewhat cacophonic, quite slow, and very sloppy during his live solos. Much better on record, but nowhere close to "the master of shredding."

Yeah sure. Okay. Stay off the pipe.

I knew a ldy, she came from Duluth, bit by a dog with a rabbid tooth.

I live close af to Duluth and I've seen the pictures of Randy at local bars in Duluth when that concert happened, it got shared in our local group. Im so jealous dude thats sick.

It's the laughing gas solo

Interesting when he got his Marshall’s his tone was similar. Altec speakers and fingers.

@@totc6196 because of the mxr distortion plus pedal he used with quiet riot and ozzy, and also your right the combo of pedal and altec speakers he used was his foundation

TRUE Like Paul gilbert said his tone is alike a fire breathing dragon and I agree. especially on diary of a madman album.

My first amp was a Peavey Bandit. To date I live that amp. The sounds I would get. It had a push/pull thick. It was awesome for feed back. I felt it was great for playing Hendrix. Randy is my favorite guitar player ever. He was so amazing. Not sure why this video says Suicide Solution. He did that song with Ozzy.

What a sycophant. This video sounds like ass. Monster talent though.

Everyone is obsessed with sweep picking these days..

Randy could send many shredders packing their bags. Just a phenomenally, gifted musician.

I love how brutally queer he looks with that faggoty bow tie he's "rockin". Quiet Riot forever. Oh wait....

NO disrespect to Randy one bit BUT, there were and are PLENTY of guys that were and are just as good as him. Influence and legacy after his death are another thing entirely. I'm talking about sheer musicianship, dexterity, and songwriting...there's too many to list.

@@espojespo5 Had Randy lived beyond 26 years old, do you think he may have had a similar legacy as others.

You should check out the solo to Ruiner by Nine Inch Nails off the album Downward Spiral. It's one of my favorite solos, and it is quite unusual. Skip to 2 55 if NIN isn't your thing.

Randy said he hated it cause he wanted to do a lot of different things but all anybody wanted to see was him play like Eddie and do tapping he hated that shit

yeah it's a good letter

Dimebag too

@Godzilla As much as I love Kurdt, he was NOT on the same level as Chris in the manner of voice.

There are many great players out there right now. Just the infrastructure, A&R, producers, management, how things were back then to refine and elevate ONLY a few of the best to the top, that is gone. Now we all can put our materials out to the entire planet, humans' viewports have become saturated. Nothing, not even the best can stand head and shoulders above the next, because the next best is very close. That part has always been true, it's just that back then that crop of top notch players were relegated to staying in the clubs...the world never heard of them. I've known three very top caliber players, they got there before age of 19, amazing, only a relatively few people got the chance to witness these guys. That was the 70s, early 80s, things are so different now. In the environment now the top players can not seem to be mystical / magical, like back then. We have to listen in the current environment with this in mind. The infrastructure that created the magic of that era is gone.

Incorrect they will be copied but NEVER REPLACED!

There's an Aussie band called Southern River band..the guitarist is like an Aussie EVH. He's pretty good. Check them out. Thu do a song called stan qualen

At that age too!!!! Randy had an incredibly HUGE EAR ....a genius 4 sure!

@@curtisprice9806 Exactly. It's in the ear of the performer. Some just plain are better at discriminating what they are playing.

@@jfo3000 Exactly!!! Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan....yes, they went to bed with the guitar and woke up with it, ( to build hand strength and synchronization between the left and right hands) but they also had that one in a million ears too!!! Tom Sholz did the whole album (Boston) himself practically....and ALL these guys (Randy included) were in there early twentys!!!

Hmm. Frankly, that sounded like a mess. Randy was technically -- by today's standards -- a decent player and of course quite influential historically but this live performance didn't show why at all.

@@jamiemcgill67 Sounds like you're having a different conversation entirely, my friend.

Who's Rhoades? :)

A bit of an overstatement. From a technical standpoint Rhodes has been eclipsed numerous times over now by successive generations. What he has that stands the test of time is his songwriting. It's very enjoyable and in a sense impressive but hardly in the way you seem to be suggesting.

Well said! 👏 One can only imagine the incredible things that Randy would have gone on to do had he not passed away 😔🙌🎸

Really ,you had to bring in VH? They really weren't that good.

Agreed

Randy Rhoads was a freakin Guitar God. Eddie VanHalen can't even be eligible to wipe his ass. This little solo or actually jam no whammy bar and the pinches are not over done. Just a tone switch and pedal with perfect pinch harmonics. To me Eddie VanHalen is like a Jimmy Swaggart to an actual Guitar God like Randy Rhoads. So hard to account Randy to Quiet Riot now. Randy made Ozzy after Ozzy was kicked out of Sabbath. LOL. Talk about a Shooting Star huh? A reference to a Bad Company song. He lit a lot of sparks in kids to be axmen.

@@daveweed2765 THANK YOU! This what i've been saying. Van Halen butchers songs with his solos. I'm always loving a Van Halen song til his solo comes in and it sounds like if you put every animal at a zoo in one cage. Takes me out of the song completely.

@@leop1547100% With Randy you wanted his solos to go on forever whereas with Eddie you couldn’t wait for them to end. Randy was brilliant and a true composer and musician.

Randy was amazing. EVH was always tap and hammer. Got very boring.

I think it was more so the fact he had Bob Daisly at his side helping craft the songs. And to some extent, Lee Kerslake. I think that's been shown to be true, since after those first 2 albums, I don't think Ozzy was as good, no matter who he brought in. The magic of the original 3 was never captured again.

Randy was a huge fan of Mick Ronson. Pretty much adopted his whole look down to the guitar. RIP Randy and Mick

Listen to 15yr old Randy jamming on youtube. Ronson feedback and pick slides on the treble strings. If you don't see the description of the video you'd think Rono walked in on the jam, playing a fire breathing guitar on the edge of feedback. Then Randy does the fast narrow vibrato and separates himself from Rono...but the influence is there. Plus as mentioned above, Randy just about cloned Ronson's image. I don't mean this with ill will. I'm glad someone paid tribute to the great Mick Ronson, especially that it was Randy. And Randy played on the verge of feedback too, like Ronson. Two of the greatest ever.

Dude , what’re you smoking? Lol I don’t even think this good 😂

@@vonholland64 “I don’t even think this good”??? What’s that mean? I’m definitely smoking better stuff than you

@@RyanIavaroneGuitar probably do , I was stating that this sux. That’s all

Nah, Kirk Hammett much better than both of them

Randy was amazing, but Eddie was just on another friggin planet. Just my opinion….and I think Eddie was kind of an a-hole, but he was just on another level on guitar.

yes he was. he was awesome in the short life.

That's ridiculous. He sounds like an EVH clone here

Randy was like a sponge with the guitar constantly learning. The way he would even admit to "hey I'm still learning , want to learn more and don't want to stop here". He was a very honest guitarist never said look at me I'm a guitar god or whatever. He hated doing solos like this though. He said it was just all flash for the kids The him at 25 years old well let just say this I'm 42 playing guitar and taking classes since I was 8 and teaching when I was older. I'm not even there yet lol. He would literally compose guitar note/chord progressions that are just extremely complex and thorough and they fitting the music so perfect. He used alot of chords not just power or bar chords or basic abcde chords for his rythym parts which was mainly what everybody else was doing in the heavy metal slash hard rock sounds back then . To this the day he still amazes me.Some in the rock industry back then most of guitarist didn't attack the learning of different styles.His fills were even brilliant he was substuite whatever chiors with a harmonic of that key. He used the aeolian scales,Hungarian scales and the Dorian scales.Hell he would use all three in one song. I can't stop talking or saying enough about Randy Rhoads.

@@sid3859 I've seen you play . I like messing with guys like you getting the all worked up you can finger tap realy good lmao. yeah let see you come up with stuff like Mr. Crowley and diary of a madman. Probably don't even know how to read music. There two types of guitar guy the ones that say Eddie was the best they probably can barley play guitar or sound average because all they spent there time on getting his amp sound vs learning or the ones who say Randy was and there probably respect the guitar and actually take time to learn to read music and play stuff instead of divebombs and smoke and mirrors stuff. Oh yeah and finger tapping thing he did always lol my 7 year old nephew can finger tap too. I will say one thing Eddie did and still has the best amp sound but far a the knowledge of guitar he is not on same planet as Rhoads.

David Wooderson yes Sir, he was a talented musician, some people are are just born with God given talent, I play guitar myself, been playing for a long time, but nowhere near the level Randy was, he was just an Awesome guitar player.

Right?! Randy was mind blowingly talented! 🙌🎸🎸

yea pretty much, guitar playing has advanced quite a bit

Well yeah it’s almost half a century old lmao. Just like everything ever, things advanced as time goes on
