Love this song. Brad Gillis left Night Ranger to team up with Ozzy when Ozzy left Sabbath just before Randy Rhoads. He came back to Night Ranger to record this. Love his guitar sound. It screeches and sings at the same time. Very melodic.

 

 

Night Ranger was cool. I am pretty sure I still have that album.

 

I was saddened to see this Old Navy commercial.

Judas Priest was HOT,HOT,HOT in the eighties.

 

I freakin' love Judas Priest, them and Iron Maiden are my 2 all time favorite bands. The latest Priest album Nostradamus was horrible though in my opinion. They are in the studio now recording there next album and apparently it is supposed to be straight forward metal according to Blabbermouth.com. I can't wait to see them on tour again. No KK anymore though....

Maybe Ozzy was just being kind to Gillis by saying these things.

 

Gillis is a pretty talented player.

 

Amazing how Ozzy made a career out of being a stepping board to so many great guitar players.

I went through a phase where all I listened to was Maiden and Priest, mainly because they were both heavy AND melodic.

 

That's why I never took to just any old Metal band for the sake of being heavy. I needed lots of melody to enjoy the music.

They are on tour right now. In fact I am seeing them Sunday night, with Thin Lizzy and Black Label Society. I also just saw Saxon a couple weeks ago, another gret band for heavy and melodic.

I wanted to fly out to Europe to see them play in the middle of the Summer but con season was in full swing and it just would have been too hectic.

 

This is their last tour, isn't it?

[aszumilo]

This is their last full world tour. They will being doing small tours and festivals, from what Halford has said.

I hate posting before I finish reading the thread.

 

Anyways, Ozzy had one more album in his contract that he wanted out of. They wanted it to be a live album and he did not want to release any Rhoads material, so they went on tour just doing Sabbath songs to make Speak of the Devil to fullfill the contract.

 

BTW Ozzy said Gillis learned Rhoads material and played it perfectly in a matter of weeks. That says alot because back in 1982 the only guitarist on earth who could even stand in Rhoads shadow was EVH and he really wasn't all that.

 

Maybe Ozzy was just being kind to Gillis by saying these things.

 

I appreciate Randy Rhodes, but he's just a pimple on EVH's butt.

No way.

 

Eddie was a blues guitarist. Randy was a Classical one.

 

Randy made it a point to take guitar lessons while on the road touring by looking up guitar teachers ahead of time in all the cities they stopped in.

 

The two are difficult to compare but I'd choose Randy over Eddie any day of the week.

 

[Jeffro.]

Had he lived Randy may have surpassed Eddie. Or maybe not. Sadly, we'll never know.

 

I'll take Rik Emmett or Alex Lifeson over either of them.

What a duo...it was like they were twins.

Rik Emmett is a childhood idol of mine. I used to want to be blonde because of him.

Eddie cut his teeth learning Clapton, but he was the first to really bring classical into rock guitar. Not only did he break that genre wide open, but his range of technique was just breathtaking. Randy's body of work is tiny compared to his. And Eddie's playing is just so seamless and colored. I admit it's lacking in the emotion department (Hendrix blows him away there), but VH was always more about sex than love. At least until Hagar came in.

[Matt Nelson]

And I know Randy died early. So his work was cut short. But still...

Eddie was unstructured, loose and bluesy. Randy was meticulous, strucured and a perfectionist. Both were seamless in their own respect.

 

Eddie brought guitar virtuosity to a level that nobody was able to up until that point.

 

Randy wasn't as interested in the spotlight. He was a team player and happy to stand behind Ozzy. His solos could blister paint or sooth the angry beast.

 

Two very different players.

 

Both are great. I love Eddie, I just prefer Randy. He was a gentle soul.

When EVH was "cutting his teeth on Clapton" he had no idea what a pentatonic scale was. He did not even know how to play a guitar, he only copied things he seen and heard. At that same time, Randy was a teacher of classical guitar at his families very prestigious music school (when he was 16yrs old). Randy formed Quiet Riot at the age of 17 and was already doing the things that made EVH famous in the years to come.

In the late 70's EVH was not a very good guitarist he was simply doing triplet pull off's in a sequential manner.........and that was never heard of in main stream music.

 

There are 3 guitarist in the worl that have truly redefined the guitar: Jimi Hendrix, Duane Allman and Randy Rhoads.

 

I have been playing guitar for almost 20yrs and there is nothing EVH has recorded I cannot play, yet there is a ton that Randy recorded (much less body of work mind you) that I and many other guitarists cannot play CORRECTLY.

Damnit, I got emotional in a thread again.

And it wasn't even a Hulk vs. Superman post
