Randy Rhoads

YouTube rocks. I forget what I was even looking for when a Jimi Hendrix tail showed up on the right. I clicked and watched about 3 Hendrix songs and then I saw a tail for Zakk Wylde playing Voodoo Child so I watched it. The tail from that had several Ozzy songs and a few Zakk vs. Randy Rhoads mixes where you could compare solos of the two guitarists cut into the same songs. While watching some of those, I found this really cool version of Crazy Train with Randy playing guitar. The solo is just freakin' incredible. This was Ozzy's chubby stage and damn if he doesn't look like Sean Aston of Rudy and The Lord Of The Rings fame. Looks like Ozzy was The Lord of the Rings for a while....onion rings. If they ever make an Ozzy movie, Aston sure could play younger Oz. I'm sure that's Aldridge on drums and I think it's Rudy Sarzo on bass who later played with Quiet Riot. I bet resident reader (Moor Cowbell) Kevin can confirm that. Enjoy. I wish we could get someone to lay the solo down for us so we could finish our recording of the song. Kevin, can you link what we have so far here? If he can, it's yours truly on drums and Moor Cowbell singing and playing lead with the exception of the solo. I forget who is playing bass. We did this all online, recording our parts individually and then Cowbell mixed it.

Yes, that is Aldridge and Sarzo. Didn't Ozzy go back and re-record the first two albums with them just to screw Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake out of their royalties?

Link for our version is here:

although I can't say for how long. It looks like that site was abandoned back in August. I can't even log in anymore.
