ENGLISH

I saw Randy Rhoads when I was 14 years

old. He had the best rock sound I have EVER

heard live. His tone and playing blew my mind.

PaulGilbert

Randy had a unique gift and

produced many tasty riffs and melodies.

He shall remain one of the greats.

YngwieMalmsteen

Randy Rhoads? He was a total life changing experience for

me. I can still remember back to when I was a 10 year old kid

hearing "Crazy Train" for the first time and immediately thinking

"that's all I want to do. If I could just play that whole song I'll be

happy as a guitarist!" On top of being such a phenomenal and

innovative player and soloist Randy was also an amazing

composer. He was definitely an epiphany in my life.

Randy Rhoads - one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

With an amazing grasp and depth of knowledge of scales and

harmonic theory, Randy insisted on no compromises as he

constructed his arrangements and solos - which his work clearly

shows.

Randy also insisted on no compromises for his amplification -

there's no doubt in my mind that his Marshall amps and cabinets

not only accompanied but assisted Randy in his climb to greatness.

There's no doubt in my mind that the tonality and presence of the

Randy Rhoads White Amp will help you get there too!

Randy Rhoads is truly a guitar icon. His unique approach to

songwriting, riff construction and lead playing singlehandedly

established a new standard for metal guitar that would last

decades beyond his all too brief career and untimely death.

Randy's style and techniques, both on stage and in the studio, are

every bit as relevant today as they were in 1981, and remain

THE template for heavy metal lead guitar. His influence is

absolutely colossal, shaping generations of future artists. It's

amazing to think that such an abbreviated catalog of material,

cut short by tragedy, could so change the genre, but his impact is

undeniable. Randy was my very first heavy metal guitar hero,

and is a huge part of why I was drawn to music. His playing still

gives me the same "goose bumps" it did when I was 14 years

old.... and for that, I remain grateful.

MarkMorton,LambofGod

Randy was a phenomenal player and

probably my first real taste of heavy guitar.

Before I heard him I was listening to hard

rock like Van Halen and Randy was much

more classical sounding and heavier

sounding too. Both his rhythm playing and

his leads were incredible. The only time I

saw him play live was on New Year’s Eve

the year before the tragedy occurred and he

really did blow me away. Randy was a tiny

dude and must’ve only weighed a 100lbs

wet! His guitar was almost as big as he was

but he played the hell out of it.

KerryKing,Slayer
