Love his tone on the clip

Would have loved to see what he was capable of 30 years later.

Oh the sonic glory that coulda been.

Damn you, cocaine-fueled shenanigans !!!

He was moving away from metal. May have gone the Blackmore route.

Always have, always will

I was thinking the exact same thing while reading this post. Maybe a modern day Segovia, but I doubt he would still be rocking full time.

He would be passing it on. Seemed like a guy that loved it as an art form.

Our loss for sure.

Guy's playing and approach is timeless...

He was the reason I picked up guitar and took it more seriously. His neo-classical take on metal just made my head spin, and to this day, no one's really tore heavy rock/metal the new asshole that RR did back in his prime.

So true...he really upped the bar as far as I am concerned. Melodic soloing, tight rhythms, never heard anyone like that before. Still listen and am amazed by the compositions.

Maybe need to go and relearn some of his riffage. Always fun

According to his mom in this video...he was definitely getting more into classical

Just plain awesome

I think he's one of those originals like Hendrix and EVH that not only obviously changed rock guitar, but influenced the face of music.
Killer clip.
Saluted.

Does anyone remember the very fist time they heard the opening to Crazy Train? Seriously... There wasn't anything out there like that or even close at that time. Then the solo?? Man. Where did THIS guy come from!!

I think what I dig too is that here we are years later, guy's been gone for 30 years, and only offered us a few small slices into his musicality, and we're still talking about him and his influence. Ya, he really was remarkable and revolutionary. I'm stoked he's still such a great part of the musical and guitarist community.

I saw Randy on both the Blizzard tour and Diary tour. I have never recovered from seeing him play nor have I recovered from his passing !!!
