Randy Rhoads is raved about, but he's nothing compared to the big names =/

I'm not really into these who's-"better"-than-who pissing contests  :roll: , but just curious - who did you have in mind as the "big names"?


Becker, Lane, Govan, Vai, Santana, Satriani, Malmsteen, Hendrix, etc.


I don't think RR gets more credit than the players you have listed. May be from a rock fans point of view? Most rock fans probably don't play the guitar so they would judge things based on songs and image. There's more to being a musician than flashy solos and good technique. The image thing counts too from a fans point of veiw, not mine, I should point out, but if they look like a knob then they tend to get overlooked. Us guitarists do tend to do the who's better than who thing, espcially when we're younger. If you like this one great and that one great but it's all subjective. What counts is putting the whole thing in context with a great band, writing songs that will still be listened to in decades and generations to come. That's going on now with Rock and Metal worldwide, unlike some of the shitee people count as music these days, pasting .wav files in to pro tools ect or vacuous guitar bands on xfm that all sound like each other, they're the ones who don't deserve credit. RR has influenced lots of players and is part of this amazing music scene that we're all into, so for that and his playing he is ok by me.  :wink:

Quote from: Kepu
This is quite irrelevant, but those of you who really listen to death metal must've noticed that it's getting more and more technical (and boring) all the time nowadays


I don't...  :lol:

i meant more the idea that anything more than barre chords and you somehow were less creative, along with that other big myth that if you know any music theory that you're instantly less creative... I don't want to listen to a 256-bar keyboard solo in 7/8 any more than any of you do, but there's a happy medium.

I had to learn about his contribution to quantum theory last year. Man done a lot.


yes, and schumacher did a natty line in hair product adverts, but they were the first two who are extremely famous for one thing who came to mind.

David Beckham, then (whom I somehow highly doubt is an accomplished, world-respected moonlighting archeologist). How many people ever say "well, he's good at passing and taking corners but what else does he do?"

 :wink:

Quote from: Crazy_Joe
Yeah, that's true i suppose, though it would be nice to hear them do something a bit different once in a while if your going to call them 'legendary'.


you mean like extreme ironing or something? because if so, that'd be awesome. I'd pay to see that.

I've never used logic, but in cubase you mixdown and save as mp3, or I used to save as .wav, then get another program to convert it to mp3.
See, your credit rating has already diminished!!  :lol:

Nice one Philly!  :D

Man this thread has gone off topic hasn't it! E=Mc2 and the quantum theory of a monatomic strawberry Angel Delight with hundreds and thousands, Randy's good, Randy's not worthy, Slash is a Poseur and it all started with legato!!

So how is everyone's legato today? As fluid as a violin soloist or like a shopping trolley full of cake banging away over a bumpy pavement?

I'm prone to agree here - None of the Ozzy guitarists have impressed me in the least, other than the fact that they're good "band guitarists".


Not even Jake E Lee?! :o You're hard to please.

Yeah, but what about the times he played badly?!

Feline posted that 2 pages ago or something. Bit boring I think.

When we're talking about real videos, I`ve never seen Jake screw up. His playing is unbelievable. IMO he's better than Randy and Zakk. He can write more memorable riffs and solos (Killer of Giants solo). I like Randy don't get me wrong, he's great but he's lacking something for me, I don't know what it is though. Joe Holmes is probably my 2nd favourite Ozzy guitarist, his tone is awesomely dirty for a strat.

Come back Jake!!

I don't think I've ever heard Joe holmes play, but I know he was a student of Randy's. I had tickets to see the Ozzmosis Tour, but the gig was cancelled due to Mr Castillo(RIP) injuring his arm. So I missed out on witnessing Joe. I totally agree that Jake was that best and that Zakk adopted alot of his techniques, but I think Ozzy and P&G Zakk was pretty amazing. Miracle Mans solo, No More Tears and Farmyard Fiddlin' are all fine things.
