bruh they need to itch up his voice and bring in H John Benjimen for these
Randy wasn't known for his tone….
He grew the moustache only for this interview
Nice, but you REALLY need those Altec Lansing speakers with the Silver Caps…..'THAT' was so much apart of his sound it's not even funny.
Sounds like a chainsaw????
Two truths and a lie would be impossible with Brendon Small. Absolutely everything and nothing this guy says could be a fact.
Ng
Brendan's jokes aren't nearly as funny as his face looks with a moustache
Terrible vid. Nothing close to his sound at all! I don’t think he runned the MXRs as the front lead of his Marshall stack. They channeled his guitar tone for extra power. Even the speakers for his Marshall’s are altecs which makes this Marshall sound like a basic model Marshall with celestion speakers, sounds very muddy
Not good dude
Brendon and I had the same guitar teacher.
killed me with his comedy
as great as Randy was, the real shame is that he died before shedding that dogshit fucking tone.
Did people think Randy’s tone was good? Everyone’s bitching in the comments like his tone wasn’t always weird. Great in a mix but awful by itself
Tone chasing Randy’s tone is so much fun! But you REALLY need those Altec Lansing speakers or a comparable IR. It’s such a huge part of his sound, more than anything else in the chain IME.
Nailed the volume though! ????
Awesome content, really loving this Saturday morning ????????
Brendon rules fuck y'all????????
Tell me a joke
The only thing missing to replicate the Randy Rhoads sound are the speakers. Randy didn't use Celestions, he used Altec Speakers. Why? IDK and anyone's guess. Look at the early Ozzy videos, Celestion Speakers didn't have Chrome Dust caps.
Authentic style? Randy is my favorite guitarist and his tone is simple…. Powerful! I’m sorry I watched this video. Saint Randy deserves better.
I think some people don’t understand jokes because tism
Y’all have been saying Randy’s tone was terrible for years, why are you acting surprised now
"This guy fucking sucks!"
Reverb is notorious for shitty videos like this.
Do you know why there are so many bad comments in this video? Because it sounds like shit. Bad playing making the gear sound like shit.
For fuck's sake, for once can reverb get a guitar player on these videos who can actually play? Jesus christ. Dude, listen to yourself. Be honest about whether that actually sounds like good music. Start by working on your working on your feel. learn to play in the pocket, and play cleanly.
Please do nirvana next
They need to do some research before they do these
His playing is good, but overall this video sucks.
Love Brenden! But, if anyone wants a big Ole run down of Randy's Tones ya best check out Taylor Danley's most recent vid????
I think there’s something particular about the cranked amp sound that I like and appreciate, the ear plugs or you go deaf tone is where it’s at.
Sorry but it sounded nothing like randy
He used the chorus for splitting the signal in stereo, not for the chorus sound, for this he used the flanger
1:28 what click bait it's not Randy's gear and they didn't even know what amp he used???????????? love Brendan but this was joke
This sounds awful. Randy never used a variac, he used input 1 on a "metal face" super lead with a cascaded gain mod. Randys tone is not a distortion + in front of a clean marshall. The mxr pedals were mainly there to boost the marshall, not create the sound.
Sounds fine lol. Not kidding.
Say what you will about this video, but the truth is the sound of blizzard of oz is not a nice sweet guitar tone. It's biting, over the top distorted, and almost nothing but mids. It cuts through and sits in a mix, but it's not gentle or sweet. It's just much more obvious how abrasive of a sound it is hearing it in isolation. Nonetheless, it's a historically important guitar sound, as it was the tone that delivered us "Crazy Train" and the other great songs from the album. You just didn't notice back then, listening in a mix and because the songs themselves were so good and because Randy's playing was incredible.
This is just an interesting case study on where Randy was as at the time and what gear he had available and was using at that time and place in music history.
That said, they could have definitely gotten a player more informed by and familiar with Randy's playing and definitely, some of those jokes weren't in good taste.
But that guitar tone isn't as inaccurate as your dislike of this video wants you to believe.
Brendon is the best. Love that guy.
Brendan's playing is ROUGH ????
erm actually my neural dsp core quad xl + mini and Knuckles has a patch that i downloaded that sounds way better euuuughhhhh
buncha haters that have never pointed a mic at a speaker before, smells like bitch in this comment section lmao
Doesn’t sound like Randy Rhoads. He never used a Variac that was Eddie Van Halen. I bet those aren’t Altec speakers. Probably Celestians . This is inaccurate doesn’t sound anything like it.
There's so much salt in this comment section I'm tempted to set up a mining operation. I enjoyed the video!
The story goes, that Ozzy called the hiss. The chips in the pan sound. Greg Koch calls it Gristle. Either way, when used sparingly. It's that extra something that stands out on top.
I get a laugh at these tone experts. That say the Blizzard and Diary stuff Randy did. Is this, that, or the other thing. Somehow flawed, either way. Still completely clueless to the reality of the fact. That it's exactly what he wanted. It's supposed to sound "on the edge ". That's the whole point!
Peace
hot garbage
Sorry but is this a joke?
Love the people saying it sounds bad when it’s common for guitars to only sound good in the mix.
