Ultimate Rhoads

I will say this, that whoever in this thread mentioned Kemper, annoyed me by thinking the Kemper was on the same level as the Fractal, so much so that it made me spend the last 12 hours today and about 5 hours yesterday just listening to more Kemper profiles, videos and reading more about it... It h...

https://player.vimeo.com/video/144074473 I was watching this again today and just thinking that there HAS to be more footage of this recorded than what we see. This footage really reminds me how Ozzys Diary of a Madman tour was probably the ultimate best rock/metal tour, the huge hand, the gothic ca...

So you guys think that if Randy would profile his Marshall and use the Kemper live to duplicate the sound on stage he would sound like THIS ? You can totally forget that. While the Kemper can duplicate the Tone of an amp it can't duplicate the dynamics going on of an old tube amp running hot throug...

No one really cares about guitar players anymore really, except for other musicians. That's the way it is now. It wasn't this way though through all the years before 1995. Metalheads and Rockers/Headbangers were extremely strong in numbers all through the 70s, 80s, and first half of the 90s.... Back...

Of course I will also add, that RR may have just stuck with what he knew, Le Pauls and Marshalls, I mean once you are already established and been doing something a certain way for years, there's no real reason to change. However, I think if Randy was just starting out in this day and time as a play...

Shockwave... lol? I don't get it? why because I mentioned Metallica? Metallica is irrelevant really, but most famous guitarists at this point are using Fractal to some extent whether it be for all their effects or for effects/amps. I think at this point in time Fractal has made amps obsolete, the to...

I think Randy would have a Fractal Axe FX 2 XL+ that's what I have and it's the best there is. Metallica tours with them now. I think for guitars he'd be using Suhr guitars as I also believe those are the best. I'm planning to buy one myself soon.

It'd be awesome to see the alternate take of the songs then. Did this ever air live, and did Randy ever get the see it?

I watched the After Hours videos again today... This video footage is the best representation of Randy Rhoads. And, Ozzy and him seemed to really be having a great time doing that small performance. The audio and video is such amazing quality for it's time.... I just don't understand how they could ...

Well Ozzy is writing musics with Steve Stevens from BIlly Idol apparently but he will not be the touring guitarist Wow, this is good news, I love Steve Stevens, he's one of the most underatted guitarists ever. He's a great fit for Ozzy. It sucks they won't be touring. But hopefully Ozzy can make hi...

I don't know how people can listen to Vinyl. I've never heard a vinyl record that didn't make extra noise such as Hiss, Crackling, and Popping... The highest resolution in the world would be pointless to me if it meant I had to suffer through something that sounds like a bowl of Rice Crispies cereal...

Rumor going around for years is that it was purposesly made to look lesser quality by whomever released it. Not sure how that came about, but it is one rumor that has not faded over the years. It does seem really weird how the video is perfect looking for the most part except for those random glitc...

I'd pay $1,500 for a front row gen admission ticket to see that. I could see it happening too if Oz would just leave Sharon. I was so disappointed when they got back together. I think Oz would get 10 years younger just by having her out of his life and probbaly get Zakk back too. I suspect Sharon ha...

I would love to see Ozzy do a final show where they use the Diary stage set up, and only play all the songs from Blizzard & Diary, and have tommy on drums and rudy on bass, and have zakk shave and drop about 30 pounds and lose the whole biker look, get him back to his look and playing ability du...

Do yall notice the upper notes being easier to access and play since there's no wood above the frets at the very bottom of the neck? like yu could wrap your whole hand around frets 18-22 and hold that whole neck area in your fist, like there's nothing in your way, making the last frets just as easy ...
