The lesson tapes are wonderful and something I'd like to hear more of. The portion that Peter put in the bonus features of the RR QR DVD is incredible. The clarity and interaction between Peter and Randy is so cool to hear. Even the little things like hearing Randy's footsteps as he walks out to see if a student is waiting to the riffing/conversation. It certainly gives you a "moment in time" type of feel.

Randy = MOZART / Perfect composition and melody. A prodigy.
Yngwie = BACH / A myriad of structured notes in a dizzying array.
Eddie = BEETHOVEN / The pop artist. Pure songwriting and a dash of what's popular for the ages.

That's a great analogy Scratch. Mozart, Bach etc, seems to be fitting for all 3 and I do like all of them. But Randy is my fave, Yngwie my 2nd fave and EVH my 3rd fave... Yall should check out some of Vinnie Moore CDs, The Maze etc, he is very underrated

I'd like to add some Paganini to Yngwie as well.

The thing is, while those are brilliant examples of Randy's playing and ability, they are also Frank's personal memories of time spent with his friend. He once told me that it is difficult for him to listen to these tapes because it reminds him that his friend is gone. I completely understand and respect Frank not releasing those tapes to the world.

What is interesting to me is that we've heard for years that Randy had well over a hundred students... so there must be other tapes out there. Snippets of Peter Margolis' tapes were included with the Quiet Riot book/DVD that Ron Sobol & Andrew Klein put out a few years back. It was pretty cool to hear Randy playing Van Halen.
