That's what messes me up, I was born 17 years after Randy passed away but I think I've cried more over him than any other celebrity. All that music we missed out on.
@@Sanctus_Manifesto Some losses are greater than others in the scheme of music. The chance that Randy could have done something with Cliff Burton and Dime is lost forever and can hardly be imagined.
What happens when a classical guitarist becomes metal, it's freaking beautiful and ever since he died that sound has never been replicated quite right.
@@diegofinos1794 yes Paco was amazing but he wouldn’t have played the songs Randy played with Ozzy and probably wouldn’t have used a electric guitar with distortion. In fact Paco may have sounded terrible playing Crazy train with just his acoustic guitar on stage with Ozzy’s band. If fact they may have thrown tomatoes at Paco for never playing an electric guitar with distortion on stage with Ozzy… can you imagine Paco standing up there on stage with them and his goofy hairdo..😂😂. That all being said Paco was absolutely one of the greatest guitarists ever!
I feel bad for today's youth as they really have no clue what raw talent is . I'm so fortunate to have grown up during the 80's as Metal is like classical music played with electric instruments . This music will still be listened to in 200 years from now although sparsely but it will 👍 The rule of thumb is that music played with " real "instruments " will always outlast Rap or the vast majority of digital PoP .
I learned this song when I was 13 at a local music store that went out of business recently by a man named Tim. Thank you to Tim I’m 33 now and it opened my eyes to all sorts of music and musicians who don’t get the recognition they deserve as the musicians. Nowadays it’s the vocalist who is recognized
He’s not dead, he just moved on to the next realm (just like how all of us will). However, no matter how many times I see guitarists come and go, Randy is still here as if he didn’t die. It’s insane!
I have some of the rare last photos taken of Randy from the front row of a show in Birmingham, Alabama March 6, 1982. I was so lucky to have seen him do a whole show from just 8 feet away. R.I.P. Randy
No one like him he was the best of the best he was even better then the late Eddie van Halen that every body made a big fuss over this young guy had his whole life ahead of him and very tragically ended why the good ones die so very young we will never know if Randy never got on that plane he would still be here with us and he was afraid of flying but Randy is still here in our hearts minds and souls let you spirit fly free Randy forevermore we love you rock on Randy!!!!and up the irons!!! Maiden manic👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🤘🤘🎶🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸⭐⭐⭐⭐
I heard Ozzy walked into the hotel room where Randy was practicing etude 6 by Leo Brouwer... Ozzy was like "we must turn this into a song" and Randy relented but eventually gave in. It has all the feel of etude 6 but they did an awsome job turning it into a whole syphonic song. That requires lots of talent.
This is the greatest composition in Ozzy’s entire catalog. It’s incredibly complex, musically. What a haunting work of art. A masterpiece by a brilliant BAND, i.e., the Blizzard of Oz.
This whole song is a masterpiece. But this interlude is hauntingly beautiful. Ozzys tortured, sorrowful voice gently floating over this guitar piece that only could have been channeled from God himself makes this the finest interlude in any song, ever recorded.
It's great but imo the one he does in Revelation(Mother Earth) is even better considering the fact Randy told Don what to play on piano/keys as a counterpoint to his acoustic. I played that interlude for my then 85-year-old Mom and told it was an Ozzy Osbourne song. She said it was gorgeous. It is.
Yes, indeed I got goosebumps on that one. The guys just beautiful man and every way you want to put it a gift from God only comes around once in a lifetime. This guy is beautiful. His whole family is beautiful. And talented we all live forever just not on this planet will see you soon again, my friend, 😇❤️❤️
My Absolute absolute, absolute favorite part in this song. It’s ghostly and it runs chills up your spine. It’s still running chills up my spine now since I was 12 years old hearing it for the first time and I’m 54 now. I bet you I listened to this part 10,000 times since I was 12 years old.
These pics show a man dedicated to his craft. His attention to detail & excellence is what made Ozzy what he is today. The songs you could have created Randy. Now you're in heaven making glorious sounds to the King.
Saw him a dozen times during the Blizzard Tour. Sadly he passed before the Philly Diary show. Even got up close during a sound check at Music Mountain in NY. Mesmerizing….
The ideas and techniques he used are absolutely brilliant. His ability to double and triple track solo and rhythm parts and the way they mesh together is unmatched by anything I have ever heard before. Truly one of a kind that left this earth at such a young age. Sadly there will never be another player that could match his personality and dedication and understanding of music. RIP
The reason I picked up the guitar when I was 14. Hearing Blizzard of Ozz and researched who was playing the guitar cause it sounded absolutely insane hearing that opening riff to Crazy Train for the first time. R.I P to the greatest guitarist ever to play on earth
Leo Brouwer originated the melody perhaps but it sounds boring compared to Rhoads interpretation . That's only for the short intro , Lets not give Brouwer credit for the whole song , Story goes Ozzy heard Rhoads noodling around with the classical guitar and begged Rhoads to use that piece he was practicing , to put it on record . I hear Leos etude , it has a galloping rhythm to it , Rhoads gives it spooky timing and rhythm . Brouwers piece lacks the pizzazz Rhoads put into it. Rhoads improved it , Like when Mozart improved Salieris piece.
