Wow, that was great.

Damn if he were still alive... God only knows how much great music we would have gotten from him.

Even with the horrible quality of the recording, you can tell it sounded massive in person. I swear, I was born in the wrong decade. Oh, to go back in time and see him live...

 

[Ventura]

Damn straight....

That's m'man!! Just LOVED his tone, style, approach, everything...

Same solo as the Tribute one, or at least very similar.

Peace

If you'd seen him late in the Diary tour, you'd have seen him play this one. There's very few pics of him with this that I've seen.

that was my first expensive guitar, I saw it in the Guitar Center in San Diego and bought it at the Guitar Center in Chicago in 1984. It had a gold Kahler instead of string through though which I even learned to hate back then. I looked like an asshole playing it in jazz band though.

You played a Jackson RR guitar in jazz band????? YOU ARE FUKIN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

zachman bought a red one at the gc in santa ana back in the day, and one night his singer was swinging his mic on the cord and cracked a 4 inch chunk of the tip of the long V end, so it was dangling by some splinters

as zach looks down in horror, the singer reaches down and breaks off the piece and chucks it into the crowd!

zach wanted to kill him right there--it was so funny hearing his side of the story!!!!
rock and roll

Awesome pic. I wish I could've seen him on this tour. Besides Randy's incendiary playing, I just dig the whole concept and vibe of Ozzy's first two albums - gothic castles, dungeons and dragons kinda vibe. (I've never played that game, btw!)

those guitars were so easy to ding, I got one at the headstock the first day I got it. I don't know how I ever managed to play that thing sitting down nude.

Risky to say the least.

Not quite as bad of a story, but in 1987 I bought an ESP Mirage Deluxe in my first attempt of stepping out on my Charvels. At the Troubador a couple of days later, my singer spun his tripod based mic stand as was required of a singer in those days. As he spun it, I was moving toward the front of the stage to lay down possibly the greatest solo ever unleashed. The legs of his spinning mic stand hit the edge of my brand new guitar. Thump - thump - thump. I looked down at this guitar that had just cost me a ton. Three big dings right on the top side edge of the guitar. I was thrown off. The greatest solo ever was not able to be unleashed due to my fractured mental state. And I was never the same after that.

I have a great B&W close up pic of him playing that guitar from an 80's book on metal guitarists...I'll have to try and dig it out.
Randy is the reason that I took guitar playing seriously and reached beyond barre chords and pentatonic boxes...I found his entire package of songwriting, soloing, image, etc to be a huge inspiration. My collection of equipment over the years definitely points to his influence.

I knew you'd pick up on that line

He's strangling the poor thing. It's not getting any blood.

 

[RockNRun]

That's a loaded question.

I remember as a kid paying $25.00 for that record as an import from Japan. Waited 2 months only to become disappointed that is sounded nothing like Ozzy or Metal Health I sold it years later to a Randy fanatic for $200.00.

Quiet Riot I and Quiet Riot II are pretty unmemorable. It's hard to believe that's Randy Rhoads on those albums.
