Ultimate Rhoads

I read an interview where Kevin says that wrote the pattern to an ozzy song and the pattern is on Quiet Riots song, I don't know what i want. I can't figure out what ozzy song it was though, anyone know

The only thing I think you might mean is Randy used riffs on Ozzys BOO and DOAM that were on quiet riot songs.

i know the qr song force of habit is ss but the tempos a lil faster..havent heard the song he meant..

FIB MUSIC: What did you think about "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary of a Madman"?

Kevin: Well, all the songs and guitar parts, I was familiar with from Quiet Riot. So, I laughed. A couple of little things....one guitar solo pattern....the rhythm pattern behind the solos, I wrote. (laughs) Later I used it on a Quiet Riot record, so I'm not going to go into which song it was. But we had parts that we'd share with each other. I not saying I wrote parts in Ozzy songs....I'm not saying that alright? I'm saying there was a rhythm pattern to one song that fit the rhythm pattern behind the guitar solo, so I wrote the pattern......and he said, "it's just the pattern for the solo" and I said, "Yeah, I don't care". Ummmm. The Quiet Riot song is called, "Don't Know What I Want", but the Ozzy song, I'm not going to go into what it is......figure it out. (laughs)

The opening line in the chorus of "I don't know what I want" is very similar to the rhythm section during the solo in crazy train. The rhythm is a beat slow on one of the chord changes which somewhat facilitates the lack of a chord in comparison to crazy train.

Not sure if this also appears in an earlier QR song, will have to look

Rob

Thanks, I have listened closely and it is Crazy train

As mentioned in the Classic Rock magazine thread, the chorus to Swingtown by Steve Miller is reminiscent of Crazy Train's and supposedly it influenced Randy's writing of the song... I question some of DuBrow's comments... obviously I wasn't there, so I definitely could be wrong, but some of the things he used to say just didn't seem right to me.

I guarantee Randy wrote 99.9% of the guitar parts. What's next Kevin taught Randy to play guitar?

i doubt it it geo

Kevin did write Slick Black Cadillac, which is a cool song/

We know Dee and Goodbye to Romance we conceived in QR. I can't remember which song had the Suicide solution riff. The "You looking at me looking at you" solo came from "Breaking up, is a heartbreak." I kinda think that is why Kevin put out QR the RR years. He, like a lot of characters, came off as a dick but rightfully so. But he showed that Ozzy didn't invent Randy. Randy reinvented Ozzy. It was all there...

So true!! Randy wrote those riffs and chord progressions.

Yeah. Maybe Kevin is just a touchy retard. Just sayin'. Because we all here KNOW that Randy wrote the guitar parts of those songs, so they're gonna sound similar or BE similar in one way or another. Not even Randy Rhoads is perfect.

i thought that QR had a song, i have and cant remember which! that has the riff to 'no bone movies' in it.
