Randy Rhoads: God of the Six-String – High-Quality Compilations of the Legendary Guitar Player

A significant number of audio recordings featuring Randy Rhoads—particularly from his live performances with Ozzy Osbourne—have been unearthed over the years. However, given the brevity of his career after gaining widespread fame among rock fans, video footage is relatively scarce—not to mention items from his Quiet Riot era. *Six String God* is a release that comprehensively captures Randy’s career through rare, professionally shot footage. It garnered attention for its exceptional quality, reflecting the deep affection and immense respect the overseas enthusiast behind the project held for Randy. The high quality of the selected footage and the meticulously crafted structure—from the opening sequence onward—remain impressive even when viewed today. While a similar gift item, *Live Footage 1979–1981*, offers a longer runtime, *Six String God* retains its significance and value as a heartfelt tribute from a fan to Randy, thanks to the passion infused into the project and its accessible 63-minute duration. Whereas *Live Footage 1979–1981* began with the Quiet Riot era, this release takes the opposite approach, kicking off with the *After Hours* performance (Rochester, New York; April 28, 1981) from the Ozzy Osbourne era. The picture quality is superb, showcasing Randy’s youthful, wild guitar playing and a revitalized Ozzy delivering a compelling performance. Viewers can thoroughly enjoy signature tracks such as “I Don’t Know,” “Suicide Solution,” “Mr. Crowley,” and “Crazy Train.” The release continues with TV footage from a 1981 MTV special—featuring an interview from the time Randy won the “Best New Talent Award”—and rare live footage from the Palladium in New York, recorded on May 2, 1981. These are all invaluable clips that any Randy Rhoads fan would consider essential viewing. The second half of this release features footage from the Quiet Riot era. It begins with multi-camera, professional-quality footage of an early guitar solo by Randy, recorded live at the Starwood in Hollywood on October 25, 1979. This segment includes a prototype version of “Dee,” offering a glimpse into his latent talent. The release concludes with footage from a performance at the Starwood on December 28, 1978, featuring the band’s signature songs “Slick Black Cadillac” and “One In A Million.” All the included footage is of the highest quality available for the time, making this an essential compilation for any Randy fan.
