I had the joy of working with Elliott in the 70s. An amazing musician and an amazing person. A joy to work with and listen to

Page has lead thru Zeppelin the Yardbirds, Link Wray , the blues , now I will look into Elliot Randall thank you .

@charleswindsor1184 Год назад

What a nice humble man. Really enjoyed his stories Thanks John

Hung with Elliot on and off for a month on a Sun City SA gig in the early 80s. One of the most kind and humble individuals I’ve ever met. Obviously immensely talented, he fit into a 12 piece MOR act like the pro he is. Really burned up the charts with lasting effect. Was great to run into him at Possible 20 on occasion. A truly remarkable cat. All the best.

Bernard Purdie, Chuck Rainey, Elliott and the Dan ... what a dreamteam! 👍❤

I was fortunate enough to meet and play with Elliott in the early ‘80s. He’s a friend of one of my very good musician friends, one who’s “made it” and still puts jam things together for the occasional charity or private gig. Not only is Elliott Randall one of the greatest guitar players on the planet, he’s as nice a person as he is a great musician. Very supportive personally and musically, and more than willing to just be “in the band.” When it’s his time to play he just brings the heat. By the same token, when it was time to lay down the groove and play rhythm or accompany a singer or soloist, he was great at that as well. Playing with Elliott was a music lesson in itself and to play next to and with one of your guitar heroes … priceless. Nice interview, John. Hope he’ll talk about what he used in the studio for that solo in the second part of your interview.

@DarrellNutt Год назад

Spot on Larry!

@allthingsclassicrock Год назад

He used his (‘63?) stratocaster with Gibson PAF in the neck and a cranked Ampeg SVT. As it was One of the few amps available at the studio.

@hampyonce Год назад

Good stuff. Page has great taste. The guitars on that album seared themselves into my mind like an emotion.

@rickiovine2170 Год назад

The solo on “Reelin In The Years” never hit me as anything special, but I knew that I liked it. You had to listen to what follows when something that catchy sucks you in. After hearing that Jimmy Page called it his favorite lead in solo I had to check more deeply because that is some lofty praise. What a fascinating story! I had no idea that it wasn’t the ‘Skunk’ playing that lead. Imagine the respect you have to possess for other guitarists to call you in to help them out. No egos, or, great respect. Anyway, I now get it. I hear this great solo in a much different way. Sort of like looking at a painting selling for $150,000, and you thinking “what’s the big deal?” Then you talk to the artist and he/she describes the inspiration and the medium used, and the complexities and skill required to get the colors just right, and you end up buying the darn thing!

@zeppelinmexicano Год назад

A highly melodic piece of work, and certainly this is what Jimmy Page is all about.

@williamlangan5902 Год назад

Thanks, John! I love the guitar solo, too!

@ikkenhisatsu7170 Год назад

Insightful, to say the least. Great guitarist and great interview. Thanks, John!

@markbirchette8740 Год назад

Nice! Thanks John. 🎸 🤘

@RCullis47 Год назад

Great song. It wouldn't even be half the song without this awesome and distinctive solo. It makes the song IMHO.

@rkenseth Год назад

The band that I think got along the best was RUSH. I also love Steely Dan music and Reelin In The Years is a great song.

@2112Relayer Год назад

And the reason for that, I've heard many times over the years, is because they insisted on remaining a three-piece, even though they had toyed around with the idea of adding a keyboard player in the 80's. There were no stalemates when it came to decision making.

@semloclusa1630 Год назад

Thank you, John, for your wonderful interviews. Elliot’s playing on Reelin’ in the Years is just amazing and such a stand-out guitar solo unlike any other.

@markhaus2830 Год назад

Nice interview John. Yes, Elliott's guitar solo is Epic! That first Steely Dan Album is my favorite one out of all of them.

@Kulardenu Год назад

Great interview! One of the most eclectic, soaring solos ever...

@nickmoloney9820 2 месяца назад

Elliott Randall is a guitar great and an absolute brilliant human being

@ddsdss256 Год назад

What a totally cool person. The fact that he helped produce some of the most mesmerizing moments in the "golden age of rock" (very little since the late '70s comes close to the true classics from the mid '60s 'til then) secures his legacy, if that even matters--I'm just glad he's still having a well-deserved good time. Thrill was the Dan's best album (so often the case) and Reelin' was the stand-out track (of many great ones), primarily because of Elliott's contribution.

@ronperry9904 Год назад

Thank you so much Elliot That solo part of my life1 I'm just learning it at 62!!

@steved525 Год назад

I love Reelin in the Years and am so impressed that anyone is able to form and play that solo in one take. Incredible! As I go through the discography of Steely Dan as hear Elliot playing on Green Earrings and Kings; I can only conclude that he top tier!

@coolmacatrain9434 Год назад

I'm Irish and I lived in London during the 1980s (I went over to work there when I was 16 ) and I remember seeing Elliot playing an instrumental version of Reeling In The Years at The Guitarist magazine show sometime around 1990/91? ... . I think Dave Kilminster won the guitarist of the year around the same time because I remember seeing him as well (mind you, I went to all the shows during those years so my memory could be letting me down) ... also at the show were Gordon Giltrap advertising a type of arch top guitar and in the booth beside him was Jerry Donahue selling signed copies of his album Telecasting .... good old days Sigh!

@dannyjoebrown4611 Год назад

I love the minutia you get into on these. Bravo.

@mateosmusiclist2119 Год назад

Wonderful and insightful interview. Well done amigos!

@patrickmoreau7592 Год назад

This is a great interview I didn’t know he was still alive! I love Steely Dan

@KirbyBivans Год назад

Great stuff, Elliott! Rock on!

@terrywyatt8304 Год назад

The musicians that have really good chemistry must never lose site of this, what seemingly turns stale is only ones self eagerness to stay with what brought you together.

@Andrewkafp 7 месяцев назад

As soon as I heard it I loved it. I have heard some of his other work and Reeling wasn't a one off. There was also Denny Dias,skunk, Jay Grayden, Larry Carlton and Dean Parks on the Dan's albums

@calvinbealer7264 Год назад

Great 😃😃 Interview John. I have the Album You Can't Buy a Thrill.play it all the time.

@mikecarroll5853 Год назад

You are incredible Elliott! Xxx ❤️🎼❤️. Gigi

@VG-iq8xq Год назад

Great job John on the interview. You let Elliot talk. I knew next to nothing about him but found his story really interesting. It would be cool to hear more details of other stories! What did he say to Hendrix?

@fenderstratocastertelecast8479 Год назад

I want to know further about Elliot and the arena (1996) and aura (2000) sessions with ASIA... That was a fantastic work!!! I recommend the "never" track, with a very tasteful guitar solo from this talented guy... Kind regards from México

@Hawking1969 Год назад

Would love to hear more about his interactions with Jimi Hendrix.

@sbearly Год назад

I didn't like Steeley Dan but I loved the guitar in that song. Very innovative but still fit perfectly with the feel of the song.

@joshb8976 Год назад

Reminds me of the guitar solo on Velvet Underground’s “I heard her call my name” it’s just more polished but that tone is there

@pranadistribution6033 9 месяцев назад

Elliot, what were some of the most challenging parts/solos you were contracted to play? Thank You.

@josephjetkiewicz7825 Год назад

When musicians were musicians and not pro-tooled and auto-tuned. Not being snapped to the line makes it real!!!

$250,000 in 1971 is just under $2,000,000 today…so, about $400,000 per album. Not too shabby.

Elliot Randall is a galactic alien. He was beamed up at the end of Green Earrings for all you deniers.

@kc0lif Год назад

i like that song but i pretty much like most steely dan songs.

@CCCowboy Год назад

That's NOT Pages favorite....clearly when he answered the question (when rating other guitar players) Page was "put on the spot" - he didn't want to say anything negative about anyone. Page NEVER uttered the words "that's my favorite", rather, the media (professional or otherwise) took his 'being nice' out of context and jumped to the wrong conclusion, then ran with that story everywhere.

@flazjsg Год назад

Do you know what interview that "quote" came from? As I side note, I remember Page's 1975 cover feature in Rolling Stone Magazine. He said the "...solo of the year (1975) was 'Midnight at the Oasis" - Amos Garrett.

@jono5900 Год назад

Yeah, I hear what you're saying and from what I've discovered the story is an interviewer knew he liked the solo from Reelin' and asked him to first rate a solo from Howling Wolf and he gave it a 10 out of 10..then he asked him to rate one of his solos from Zeppelin and he gave it an 11 out of 10 and then the interviewer finally asked him to rate the solo from Reelin' and he gave it a 12 out of 10. So, take from it what you like but clearly it's not like Page said, that's my fav solo of all time..lol That being said, it's such a great solo...lol

Elliot once saved me by watching my back in a knife fight with a broken bottle. He sprang into action like a jungle cat.

@billjames3148 Год назад

HEY WHY DID THEY CALL IT STEELY DAN ?????????TELL THE TRUTH PLEASE.

@kevins.449 Год назад

Steely Dan couldn't carry Jimmy Page's jockstrap. I don't know how in the hell a band with ONE good song got that popular.

@scottmelton3092 Год назад

They have a tremendous catalog of fantastic songs. You probably just don’t know that they are steely Dan. You sound ignorant for saying that. Listen to one of their greatest hits albums and you will know what I am talking about.

@JohnLnyc 9 месяцев назад

Steely Dan is an American rock band founded in 1971 in New York by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. Initially the band had a stable lineup, but in 1974 Becker and Fagen retired from live performances to become a studio-only band, opting to record with a revolving cast of session musicians. Rolling Stone has called them "the perfect musical antiheroes for the seventies
