Gibson To Re-issue Randy Rhoads Les Paul

Guitar giant announces plans to reproduce the classic axe 23-Aug-10

Randy Rhoads secured a place in hard rock history as Ozzy's guitarist on Blizzard of Oz. In this video he can be seen playing one of the best known riffs in rock on his signature axe.

His 1974 Les Paul has been one of Gibson Custom Shop's most requested re-issues of all time, mainly due to the crisp and heavy tone in songs such as Crazy Train, and No Bone Movies. Now they plan to make it available to the public. There is no price tag confirmed currently, and Gibson are yet to announce a release date.

Better late than never, though.

RockStarAnt93 14-Feb-12 01:01 AM

Why did i have to be born in the ninety's with no chance of ever seeing him live....


camelpospisil 13-Feb-12 07:19 PM

Iam pretty sure Randy is jamming together with Bon Scott, Cliff Burton and John Bonham in heaven right now:)


MiszczuVader 13-Feb-12 11:38 AM

VeveVikingo 13-Feb-12 12:50 AM

omg the camera man is a faggot, he only filmed the bass player during the guitar solo (??) does this make sense??


jyan1969 12-Feb-12 05:27 PM

@dane50210 If you want I could send it to you through mail or something, pm?


MarkMawkie 08-Feb-12 07:46 PM

Nature was a force behind Randy Rhoads


kdelamare 08-Feb-12 07:36 PM

March 19th 1982 Randy died. 30 years on,still much missed and lamented. Randy was the most influential guitarist of his generation. I was 15 when he died and I still get goosebumps when I hear him play. Ozzy never topped Blizzard of Ozz or Over the Mountain.Randy was only 25 when he passed but he left behind an amazing legacy. What would he have acheived if he had lived. Thanks Randy and God bless.


ozzy8145 08-Feb-12 03:48 PM

@razrbak48 he`s not before drugs but he`s awesawme


razrbak48 08-Feb-12 04:26 AM

ozzy before the drugs .. but we all know he is still badass


dane50210 07-Feb-12 11:15 PM

I am really trying to download this audio, the album version doesn't have the intenae Randy Rhoads solos.


MrThekuwaharakid 06-Feb-12 11:38 AM

his name should be sir randy rhodes


azimuth361 05-Feb-12 05:39 PM

1:26 and 3:02 Just don't bother starting an Ozzy vs. Dio debate.


Martyfriedman001 05-Feb-12 02:47 PM

You can really see, that Randy really has meanings and feelings with hes solos it not just random, notes, it so freaking soulful goosebombs all over body after hearing.


Maxioff 05-Feb-12 11:01 AM

u all know this "chuck norris quotes" things? It has all been missunderstood.... It is RHANDY RHOADS.


josuezt 05-Feb-12 03:45 AM

sasko989 04-Feb-12 06:59 PM

GGutoLuiz 04-Feb-12 03:13 PM

as vezes tenho a impressão que Randy Rhodes foi o maior guitarrista que já pisou nessa terra...


shredmaster100 04-Feb-12 10:59 AM

Randy was god and ive never heard anyone play any of his solos like he did he was a genius


ARONKILL95 04-Feb-12 10:02 AM

Randy Forever!!!!


cxgfhgb 04-Feb-12 07:02 AM

thats just inhuman, Randy was truly a rock god, not only did he play spot on fantastic, great and amazing! but he put his heart and soul into it every single time he picked up a guitar!!! it sucks that these other guys who play with ozzy will add stupid little shit parts to the work that randy did. way to discrace his music, ZAKK WYLDE!!!!!!!!!!!


josueissa 03-Feb-12 02:10 AM

3:03 Ozzy: sh*t my voice!!


duequesne 02-Feb-12 08:31 PM

Randy Rhoads was a force to be reckoned with.


nyarlathotep989 02-Feb-12 04:00 PM

@underland Well your pompous contrasting the "uneducated" majority of RR' fans to yourself, is really an eloquent fact. Mentioning the UNEDUCATED, I believe your immediate opting for the low-base profanity and insults in a discussion which completely lacks any hostility is an argument for the relevance of your "educated" statement. BTW simple YouTube view count and Search Engine results differentials between Crazy Train and any of the songs you mentioned... something something...


Xads308 02-Feb-12 03:28 PM

On vocals, we have: Sarah Connor! On guitar, we have: Sarah Connor!


underland 02-Feb-12 02:01 AM

@nyarlathotep989 because those people didn't die after their 2nd album moron. I think "flying high again" is more notable anyway. Dumb conversation. This dude was a machine,maybe for the uneducated Randy was known for crazy train but anyone whose opinion I care about knows "I Don't Know, revelation Mother Earth and Goodbye to Romance" like the back of their hand.


1fiorentina 01-Feb-12 04:58 AM

@Malosovich yea i was thinking the same thing


loganarchermusic 01-Feb-12 12:22 AM

Sounds like they sent Ozzy's vocals through a crappy chorus pedal. Sounds cool though.


jutup110 31-Jan-12 03:53 PM

ozzy loved randy


nyarlathotep989 31-Jan-12 03:44 PM

@rjkahlon i dont imply that it IS his only good song. I say it is the only song people know to value. If you ask anyone aware of RR work what song first comes to their mind when Randy Rhoads is mentioned - what ll be the answer? That wouldn't be the case with Kirk Hammett, Slash, Hendrix, Malmsteen and/or plethora of other remarkable guitarists.


Malosovich 31-Jan-12 11:18 AM

bass player seems like a bit of a twat.


edysiam 31-Jan-12 02:22 AM

My first son gonna have the sacred name of Randy, the best on guitar ever!


Thuddify 30-Jan-12 08:44 PM

Randy Rhoads was nature


albalamarina 30-Jan-12 07:33 PM

@nyarlathotep989 don't forget his great composition called ''Dee'' dedicated to his mother. he was awesome also >umad?


ferdelxv 30-Jan-12 02:07 AM

Randy


rjkahlon 29-Jan-12 07:44 PM

@nyarlathotep989 You obviously have little knowledge of the matter if you think Randy's only notable work is Crazy Train. Other famous works include Mr. Crowley, Over the Mountain, Flying High Again, Diary of a Mad Man, Tonight, etc. Randy was big before he died and would have been just as big a legend had he lived.


robertchrismedd 29-Jan-12 07:07 PM

dear god, put me vack to the 18970s so that i can live the rock era, before justin bieberstien is played on the loud speakers in my misic class at school


nyarlathotep989 28-Jan-12 09:40 PM

Oh boy, here we go again. A chronic case of dead celebrity bias syndrome. Whenever Mr. Rhoads is mentioned or rated as "ONE OF THE GREATEST EVURRR!!!!", it is followed by a reference to the Good Olde Crazy Train. Respect to RR, but do you know any other remarkable works of his? The same's with Cliff Burton, Oysten Aarseth, Kurt Cobain asf. No matter how great musicians they were, the implausible legendarity brought about by their demise is tenfold augmented.


quincy555 28-Jan-12 03:39 AM

@197550rp Can't find better words myself so I just agree to yours!


197550rp 27-Jan-12 06:26 PM

There are no words. Simply amazing. A true loss not just to heavy metal but to music itself.


flamingmanure 26-Jan-12 05:41 PM

@SteveChandlerFTW im a guitrist...and to be honest i didnt find this awesome, i found this to be beyoND EVERYTHING awesome IN THE WORLD!! ppl should create a new word for randy to symbolize his influence in the metal world.


RandyRhoadsRules3 25-Jan-12 04:38 PM

My favorite musician ever. Truly a brilliant artist. R.I.P. to Mr. Randy Rhoads.


kh888ni 24-Jan-12 12:51 AM

Yep Ozzy had a bad day but Randy saved it withh that awesome guitar playing. But its ok heavy metal its not perfect and thats the way it should be
