Ultimate Rhoads

Saw Priest recently in Lowell, MA with this guy. he's no KK and certainly no Randy. Proest as a band were absolutely phenomenal though! I've seen them several times and this was one of the best shows. Love it. But this new Git player aint no Randy by a long shot. he just looks like him.

very very special shots. Great to see Randy in normal settings, and having fun.

What would have Randy been as a bassplayer?! More of a sort of Billy Sheehan, Steve Harris or Dennis Dunaway-type...? Based on what he says during this lesson, Randy clearly understood that the bass was not a lead instrument but, rather, a foundation for the guitar to build on. If there is one thin...

Hmm, first I've heard of this.
Ozzy simply , impulsively re-writng history as usual....

It was actually his long lost brother, Noah Rhoads. And it was 40 days and 40 nights!

Hearing the isolated track was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! What a treat that was. Its truly amazing that Randy still astonishes me after hearing it so many times over and over again. I'm never bored by Randy and never let down.

Hah, it sounds like the little girl sing "life's a bitch insane" instead of driving me insane? Very cool though.

Every song except Crazy Train is under-rated. Why the hell is CT the only song thats played regularly (except for on Axeman's radio station)? That strange little 3 note solo in Little Dolls is just so cool I can never get enough of it. And that Beatleish sounding transition part is amazing too!

loev hearing that...thanks for posting it. I now really have to wonder how much of the BASS lines Randy wrote for BOO and DOAM. I bet he had fairly complete ideas that he showed to the band - with at least the guitar and bass parts already in hhis head.

he does have a Randy-Fan look about him, but that clip had almost no guitar playing at all in it. Kinda boring actually. I'm seeing them on November 20th and hope they are better than that! I was a big KKDowning fan so this is an immesnse let down not having KK there this tour.

although it covers his face, the energy in the shot is amazing. Really cool vertical flow. I like it.

great pics!!! love 'em!!!

I'm still totally excited for Bob's book to come out. I loved Rudy'a book, and am now enjoying Ozzy's book. That band during those years fascinates me, and hearing any differences in opinion or memory only add to my ability to try and sort things out. C'mon Bob....bring it on!

Holy SHITT crush!!! Those tunes ROCK!!! Nice thick crunch on the guitars and strong vocals. Thanks for posting.

they still dont play for me (like duh n stuff). Are you guys just hittinh the play arrow or doing something else?

I cant get it to play. Whats the trick?
