As a hard rocker, I have always been a big fan of the electric guitar and as I have just reached my 10,000st post (gone a bit over before I realized it LOL) I wanted to start a thread about guitar gods/metal masters one the 6 stringed ax.
Everybody is invited to present your guitar heroes of course.
The first one is Randy Rhoads, one of my favorite guitarists, even though he has been dead for 34 years.
Randy started at Quiet Riot before he was lured into becoming Ozzy Osbourne's first guitar player. With Ozzy he only played on 2 studio albums (Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a madman), one EP (Mr. Crowley live EP) and 2 live albums (Randy Rhoads tribute album and Ozzy live) and good video materials with him playing his guitar is rare. He played a mini set called after hours and there is some poor quality (the video part is not good) concert material.
Sadly he only lived for 25 years and nobody knows what he could have achieved.
So here is a collection of his solo's with Ozzy and one with his previous band Quiet Riot:
And a song cannot live from solo's alone so here is one of their best numbers together, written by Ozzy, Randy and Bob Daisley:
Last in this post is another of that first album with Ozzy, Crazy Train:
Who knows what he could have achieved if he had not been killed in a plane crash.
