What do you think of this tone?

(sometimes referred to as "smooth") The double tracking solos seem to me like they might also be slightly delayed to one side in order to fill out the sonic spectrum. Besides that, as was mentioned, rush recording as this was done during a short tour break for Blizzard I thought. I'd love to be able to get cutting tones like that on recordings.

By the way...George Lynch is the one who showed Randy that descending "tapping" lick at the end of the solo. Lynch uses a similar tapping run on the Turn On The Action solo. George used to teach at Dee Rhodes studio as well.

Yeah, but wasn't the similar tapping at the end of the Tooth and Nail solo? I just read that somewhere in an intreview this year.
It was definitely a great show.metalmaniac93":2kfy92kv said:Chubtone":2kfy92kv said:chunktone":2kfy92kv said:I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't think his tone was that great. I played the crap out of these releases, despite what is less than great tone imo.
You won't get flamed for that. The general internet consensus is that Randy Rhoads had horrible tone. There have been 9,000,000 threads about it on every forum. It seems to be mainly Monday morning quarterbacking by people who weren't really even into music at the time or kids who think amps have always had as much low end as modern amps.
At that time, I thought Rhoads live tone was incredible. It was when I saw him. I had two bootleg live tapes from way before Tribute came out and Randy's tone on them was great. Personally, I think Max Norman should be shot for taking a tone like what you hear on the After Hours show live and making it sound like the first album and to a much lesser extent Diary did.
Yes, I agree. His tone on the The King Biscuit Show (Montreal 7/31/81) was awesome. It is my favorite Randy boot and I played the crap out of it back in the day. Good thing I have a CD version of this show and many others!!

My exact thoughts as well. Started playing guitar 3 yrs after he died and he was a huge influence on me early on. I still like to hear these old Ozzy songs occasionally but his playing does nothing for me now, groundbreaking guitar stuff for the times but for my tastes so many greater guitar players have come along since imho.
