Randy is directly responsible for Ozzy not going broke post Sabbath. Now Ozzy is a gazillionaire and Randy's dead. We live in a very cruel world indeed.

Randy Rhoads is not dead. He's actually Mike Bloomberg.

I Am one of these.

@@roytofilovski9530 Him and Sharon

@@lu12347 me too, 1st song i everlearned was crazy train,2nd mr crowley and 3rd this one over 25 yrs ago...lol mr crowley made my fingers bleed. Bet that guitar is still blood stained....lol

abso-fkn-lutely 💯

Thank u❤❤❤❤❤ ❤I

🙏🏻

the way he plays down low and suddenly goes way up high and so slick with it. insane talent no one can touch him. I must have watched this TV performance over 100 times.

I lived through this era as a teenager. Ozzy took a massive risk to make and front a new band on a very tight budget. This footage is from after hours television from Rochester, NY in the middle of exhaustive touring. The band just replaced bassist Bob Daisley with Rudy Sarzo (at Randy's insistence) and they had a lot to prove at the time. Ozzy gave everything to make this band work and frankly was just happy to rock and have hard earned success with talented musicians that he adored. Ozzy of course was mortified with Randy's death but played on through interviews and live shows with incredible courage to continue through the changes to come. Even in 2022, he has yet again another serious album of new material. We were truly lucky that Jeff Beck played so beautifully on Ozzy's latest album. Ozzy is the uncompromising original thinking rocker to the core despite any drama that has followed him through the years.

Long live Ozzy! Thank you for making my life better through your music.

@@johnkeller5163 kerslake was the drummer on the first two solo Ozzy albums. You must mean Bob Daisley ?

@@robertcarli1969 Yes, thanks for the correction; I knew that but wrote comment too fast....Just edited.....Appreciate it.

Ozzy wasn't but Sharon was.....woman was a termite to this line up

Awesome song ozzy is the man

I love this song so much

Thanks BROTHER...

Ozzy Osbourne​ Awesomeness my dude! @)

Bravo nice performance your the best Ozzy Osbourne .

The sound is a compliment to this whole song. Such an underappreciated sound.

As a big fan of Rudy as I saw him and Randy countless times during their Quiet Riot years, unfortunaltely, he did not play the bass lines ion this album. Nor did he on any of the Q,R. early Japanese releases.

Totally missed by the cameramen. You can see him doing all his finger lickin and overhand playing on the fret board but from over Ozzy's shoulder.

Rudy Sarzo and Bob Daisley were 2 of the best bass players of the 80s, and Ozzy was lucky enough to work with both of them!

Daisley and Kerslake

seriously

Bro that's so true!!! My friends keep on bugging me about how I don't like modern music. I mean seriously, there's nothing to even bug me about.

Still pounding them.

Hardly underrated. One of the best ever.

Yup it's a shame that he wasn't publicly acknowledged as a very amazing drummer

Agreed

Not underrated at all...he gets a lot of respect.

I agree with you man I agree with you

Facts

Bob and Lee no question.

Rhodes??? really??? fucking moron. it's RHOADS!!!!

Nah bob and lee wrote the music

This to me is Randy taking a direct shot at evh. And I love it

Agreed 100%

Absolutely @ 3:23 - 3:49....Randy makes it looks so easy...seen Randy twice and said the 1st time to my best friend this guy is going to take all the guitarist of the year awards from EVH!!@@blairsmithson9385

Criminally underrated

BOA

ive thought the same, he goes out of his way sometimes to show it

Yah, coke was cheaper and chicks aplenty.

That was exactly what i said to myself when saw the beginning. I've never seen OZZY looking that happy....something must be wrong..............and well....

@@ruman962 actually more expensive than today...with the competition of falsies...

thats why he punched him in the face when he said he wanted to quit after Diary.

Yes he was. Dee is a great example of his playing. Long live Randy

And ozzie was a cokedrink singa.....kudoes to sharon....

Like literally all are....

69th like, my friends 😏

"Randy was a classical guitarist in a heavy metal band." #ytmostidioticcomments

No one is as creative and technically talented as him

Absolutely majic Ozzy with Sabbath and Ozzy with Randy we are blessed

lol whats wrong with using a tremolo

@@RandyRhoadsFL except EVH, who was his favorite guitarist! According to his only guitar GP interview!😉

@@rona.9731 And Blackmore, one of EVH's biggest influences. Not to mention Hendrix.

Have u herd of RUSH????

@@BiteMeRightHere Who cares about Rush in a Randy Rhoads video?? Nobody !

And Ozzy is the weak link. Fucking amazing all of them.

"One of the," is the key... there were a lot of one of the's. And yes, Rush was a fucking amazing band. The Who as well. We can't leave out Led Zeppelin... or even early Black Sabbath.

well, it is clear Rudy didnt play the bass on the recordings, I guess they liked his hair, LOL

Totally agree. I wish he was able to fulfill his dream of being a classical musician. Definitely wish I could here more of his classical music

Timliu92 The only one that comes close is Yngwie

just cant be beat

I loved reading about the rivarly that him and eddie van halen had. Really interesting stuff for its time. as far as I know Randy was the first neo classical influenced guitar player in rock or metal.

actually I looked it up and I was wrong, Ritche Blackmore was, but hey Randy was second and it's incidental really.

how about both?

Hobbit

He's the Luke SKywalker of guitarists. a Jedi six string Master from a long time ago from a galaxy far far away

The songs with Randy did not need vocals

@@MrKennyanders I can make that argument for Perry Mason, Miracle Man, Shot in the Dark, No More Tears, Patient No 9 etc

Are u related to a Paul beers

You do not look like you are so old....

Dude!!! You're freaking lucky as hell you know

Lucky man

Rock on Boomer dude, rock on🤟

Yes,Randy Rhodes a awesome guitar player,I remember in 1981, when I was 15,RIP,Randy Rhodes

And he was only 20/21 years old here. Thinking about the music he would of made...man it makes me tear up😢

@@jamesneely541 he was like 24

so bill you get ozzy is ozzy rock/hard rock not heavy metal .....and randy was a great guitarist but not best ...and not of his gen ...enter eddie van halen ...yngwie malmsteen etc etc point here is many great guitarists

@@dudedude869 blah, blah, blah. The proof is in the music. Ozzy and Sabbath INVENTED heavy metal. Blizzard of Oz was a next step. All that shit that came after are a bunch of gunslinger with fast fingers playing the same shit in different keys... 100 years from now, they will all be forgotten, but people who actually understand music and the evolution of music will be playing Randy's recordings and figuring out his technique... He made MUSIC.

I just couldn’t agree more with you!🤘🏽

Literally everybody with discipline can play guitar well

yes!!

@John Crawford not everyone? How about no one can.

@Hunter Dowd Yeh god loves metal including his hair

One of the greatest comments I have ever read. Thank you, Rebel12. You made my day and beyond.

@@stevenmoc3165 You are so very welcome. And you too have made my day. Continue to be safe and strong and have a great weekend as well, 👍♥️🙏.

Sooooooo true! I've been in love with him since I was 5! Lol

I just saw you in the comments on a def leppard song now on here

@@kaedenwhitney1403 OH OK, COOL!!!!

Saw the same tour show Edmonton Kinsman Fieldhouse, never forget it!

You most certainly are! I paid $10 bucks each for a few copies of original photos of Randy. The guy who sold them to me was the shop owner who took the photos. He said he was surprised I knew it was Randy. I said from age 14 or 15 I was hooked on Ozzy especially with Randy on the guitar. I’m glad to hear stories of people who were there.

Man, I still can't believe RR died in that plane crash! I'm glad what he left us!!!

Saw them at Reunion Arena in Dallas on that tour. Epic show. I’ve seen dozens of concerts and that one will always stand out.

I'm always amazed with all the bootlegs that come out, just how ferocious a live player he was. Rarely having an off night, bringing the goods show after show. The studio albums are great but its the live show that really sets him apart. What was he playing? The Les Paul or polkadot V?

Actually massive debate. Kerslake/Daisley SLAYS this rhythm section. Rudy is sloppy on bass. That terrible farty sounding bass slide at 1:40 lol-Randy looks over right after like WTF??? Sorry I’m sure Rudy is nice and humble etc but Bob eats him for breakfast.

Michael Have you ever read the liner notes? If you had, you’d see that Ozzy, Randy, Bob Daisley (Bass) and Lee Kerslake (Drums), were credited as producers. They actually wrote and recorded the album. Same with Diary of a Madman, although Aldridge and Sarzo are inaccurately listed and pictured on the sleeve as players. Aldridge has always given credit to Lee for his playing on the recordings. In other words, Tommy and Rudy are hired guns, who learned the songs to perform them! They’re both brilliant players, especially on Speak of the Devil (live, after Randy’s death) with Brad Gillis. But your misinformed original comment lacks merit and your dismissive reply to Fly Johnson is not only insulting, it doubles down on your own lack of knowledge and understanding of the musical history you’re supposing to be so passionate about.

@@augsdoggs I don't care what writing credits Daisley and Kerslake get or didn't get on Ozzy's first 2 solo albums. As I stated in my original post, the best Ozzy solo band is Randy, Tommy, Rudy, and Ozzy. No debate. You can feel whatever you want. I don't care what musicians YOU like best that Ozzy worked with. But you obviously care very much what I think. So deal with it!

Michael I never said what MY favorite lineup is. I’m also not in a debate with you. You wouldn’t make the debate team. I’m just breaking down exactly how you’re wrong. It’s not even a wrong opinion. It’s only a display of both your stubborn lack of information and proud ignorance. Unless you’ve seen the band live with Randy and this lineup, or listen to live bootlegs of touring gigs, you’ve never even heard this band. If you’re saying this video clip alone of fill in players sounds better than the album version, you’re either a liar or a fool. And yes, I guess I’ll have to deal with it. I’ll probably cry myself to sleep for the remainder of my days.

@@augsdoggs Tell me what I'm "wrong" about? I stated what is the best Ozzy solo band which is Randy, Tommy, Rudy, and Ozzy. If you disagree then that doesn't make me "wrong" you clown. I saw the band live numerous times with that lineup. Have a nice life little one. Toodle loo👋

Randy died on 3-9, not a week after February

3-19

Making up stories eh. 😂

I totally agree 👍

Seen randy with ozzy August 1981 at pine knob Clarkston mich Def Leppard opened Pete Willis was still playing

Wonderfully stated

"...MILLIONS of people..."

Lord Dimebag Darell came VERY close, but even he said he never could.

This was the first time I saw Ozzy , I was 15 back in 81 and he was my first concert. What a legend!

I think Jack White has!

@@justintyme2764 Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha 🤣😂😂

Yes I agree 💯 I remember this song in 1981, when I was 15

awesome mate

i liked Jake e Lee.. randy was amazing thou

@@deanvoss7098 RIP

Randy is great, but I prefer EVH, especially for his *brown sound* tone.

Jealous. I had tickets to go see them in Dayton, OH but one month before the concert Randy died. So tragic.

The best lead guitarist I have ever seen live... and I've seen a "few"

And always Will be

Him and Dimebag Darrell had that ability, and they both died way too young. If there’s a god, he has an awful sense of humor.

Dave Fieramosca it’s called chorus 😂

@@leon_rr1254 Or double tracking 😉

Or 3, 4 guitars.

rxstey No, it’s delay.

While out on tour, sometimes Randy would look at the Yellow Pages phone books during lulls and searched for classical guitar teachers to work with. He was interested in branching out beyond his rock/metal roots.

For some reason, I just don't associate Blues with the word "finesse".....nothing at all against blues players, it just seems odd to me to hear a phrase like that. Randy had finesse, no doubt!

He deserves many kudos purely for his hair, never mind his awesome playing.

Agreed. I think most focus on Randy because of how tragically short his life was cut. He was a genius. But you are 💯 right! Tommy is extremely underrated.

@Cutting Yoko’s bra! is Randy the only one up there? Is this a Randy fan page? Right, no

Years ago I saw him at a clinic here in Memphis. What a truly nice person he was!

Tommy Aldridge is a fuckin Monster on the drums ,and he gives them a good fuckin smack as well , just like it should be ,the whole band awesome could be the best line up tight as fuck

I'll be there on December 6th.

I need to go

Saw them just mere weeks before Randy and Rachel were killed. It was a shock. A very sad day.

@@dougtull4594 who was Rachel

Rachel was the hair and makeup artist on the plane with Randy along with that fucking cokehead pilot/bus driver

I'm betting he would have done an all-acoustic classical album. Rumor is that he was getting tired of the metal scene at the time. But who knows.

I have heard he wanted to quit being a rockstar to be a guitar teacher and study classical music, so I guess we would have a brillant classic guitarist today who had a short experience in the metal scene

don't forget the amazing Don Airey!!

Well let's not forget the original original lineup.. Bob daisley, Lee kerslake, Randy rhoads and of course Ozzy.. that was the band recorded through the second solo album.. don't get me wrong sarzo and Aldrich filled-in just great...but you got to give credit where credit is due!

First of all, Tommy's last name is Aldridge, not Aldrich. Second, Plus Don Airey on Blizzard and Johnny Cook on Diary on Keyboards.

Great singer,ozzy,I remember this song in 81.

Bull. Daisley Kerslake all day over this

thrashtildeath999 Hell yeah. Sarzo killed it there.

@@NotAlrightSpider Rudy Gash Dang SARZO!!

Yeah Rudy is the man. He always looked like he could be brothers with Craig Goldy. Not just Robert.

Back in the 80s Rudy sarzo is a high commodity only Ozzy Osbourne could afford him

yeah check the bass track isolated. SO good : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y6ikZ5p-tKe1dJc.html

You summed it up very well.

Tommy Aldridge is still a beast.

I can’t disagree with any point you made

Music is by feel

Effortless after hours and hours of effort amigo.

There was also the end of Mr. Crowley I think

And they were lucky to have a singer like Ozzy. For all his faults he's a great vocalist.

Yeah not a fan of him personally...he was always surrounded with great musicians...

Sharon is a witch. Pay Bob and lee!

@@chrisoakley5830 Ozzy is a mediocre singer at best. His genius lay in writing and, most importantly, finding high level musicians to play for him. Rhoads, Sarzo, Aldridge, Lee, Wylde, Pete Way, Castillo on drums. Hell, Robert Trujillo is an Ozzy alum . . . it's truly stunning how many high level players he has had with him in studio and on tour.

Lets not forget his songwriting. Sabbath is so underrated its criminal. Listen to the entire albums and not the hits to understand.

They probably had a fire extinguisher nearby!

Right? I was looking for genuine smoke.

Gibsons are made for that

Les Paul, man.... 👍

@@dbrutiger8232 Not for the likes of Randy Rhoads

@@northernhorror95 & ,.,....Zàkkk Wyldē.,,,

this is better than the fucking album...you can't say that to many...

This was recorded in Rochester NY on 4/28/81 at the public television studios on State street.

some say even better live than on record

Dont get me wrong, I am probably one of the biggest Ozzy Randy fans, but if you want clean & tight live, try Rush 1978 in le studio montreal

Adam Cocuzza so true

Adam Cocuzza no one will ever play it as bad ass as Randy Rhoads

Max Mustermann im one of those people lol. for the most part the only time i listen to a studio version with Randy Rhoads is if there isn't a live version of it lol

+Lisa Mcdonald Rhoads* goddammit...

1956-forever.

Who is better Randy Rhodes or Zakk Wylde?

Randy of course!

Why is it so hard to spell "Rhoads" correctly? Jeez!! Btw, Lambert, Randy was Zakk's favourite guitarist, that already tells more than enough about who is better. Of course Randy is better, as much as I love Zakk Wylde, I have to say that Randy was more melodic, soulful and technical, he truly was one of the greatests!

Yes, but it would be nice if we got a little more Randy Rhoads and a little less everything else.

Taped one of the best guitar performance too in the rock history according to me.I think many people didn't know Randy Rhoads until they listened to this song,I was one of them.

indeed!

I was just thinking that....thank-You!

Marcus Vinnas lauren was there with her iphone:-) RANDY RHOADS #1

Paul West true that brother

Out of all the Eddie impersonators, Randy was the best (well, him & Satriani).

@@BullToTheShit YOUR FUCKING nuts evh By far.

Paul West he musta been cool Ozzy picked him👍🤙🤙🤙

@@brianturner1951 pffff..

All- Star line up....

Interesting comment because, two of them were not supposed to be there. Of course, Rudy and Tommy were great and went on to great things in Music. The original line up was Lee Kerslake on Drums. Who was an incredible drummer, and the person who wrote the Drum Tracks. Also, Bob Daisley was the original Bass player who wrote most of the music and lyrics to not just this album but, much of Ozzy's work thereafter.

@@DetroitWrecker666 lol you talking to me like I don't know who was on the record and who was the touring band..

@@DetroitWrecker666 ozzy owes Bob Daisley his whole career... wrote songs for Ozzy all the way up to No More Tears.. which most of that album was written by Lemmy, Zakk and Bob Daisley

@@joshuapitz4906 A lot of people don't know. How would I know what you know and don't know, based on a comment.

Jake E Lee helped him out there

Same here!

Same man. Every note was deliberate and well thought out. It was never mindless shredding. He snuck some of that in there for sure, but it always worked with the melody of the song. Always will be my favorite.

👍

They were good but talking chemestry.. thats the original blizzard of ozz band and the guys who wrote the music & lyrics on Blizzard of Ozz & Dairy of a Madman.. Bob Daisley Bass guitar & lyrics Randy Rhoads guitar.. Lee Kerslake Drums Rudy & Tommie are on the pics of Dairy but never played on the album.

So did I Blizzard of Ozz. Diary of a Mad Man. Oh hell yeah

I had tickets to the ill fated Orlando show. It was devastating

Be lucky you saw him.. I never did except video. Seen OZZY 5 times , Ultimate Sin was 1st concert and it was mind blowing. But seeing video like this (audio sucks) I wish I could have seen Randy Rhodes live.

Me too.New Haven CT. I tell Daughter may have been best ever.

What about Eddy, surly you must have seen VH. Anyway, RR was a beast on the axe and very few matched up. Aloha

Definitely one of the greatest. Too many awesome players out there to just select one. I personally cannot name one of my favorites to be the all-time best. They're all different and excellent in their own way

@@andrewlayton665 vB

Ozzy and Sharon do have unreleased live footage. Idk why they won’t release it but they recorded every concert. Tell me they didn’t because we have footage of brad gillis and Joe holmes at different times

@@_Suzuka_Joe the reason they won’t release them is because Sharon doesn’t see any money out of it. It’s sad.
