Marshalls meet up with Kelle Rhoads for a technical assessment of Randys Marshall gear
It was my pleasure to assist Randy in this very joyful occasion, at Musonia School of Music
in California; it was just me and the Signature Series Development Engineer from Marshall
Amplification, we were in the room where I teach my students, and one by one the amp and
cabinets that belonged to Randy, were pulled from their road cases and thoroughly scrutinized.
Randy was so happy the day he got to go to Marshalls and pick this equipment. Well, here we are
twenty five years later with the very same gear, except the black stenciled name on the boxes is
not just a touring guitarist name anymore; it is the name of one of the worlds greatest Icons. I could
feel his presence that day, laughing and smiling while the Marshall engineer worked over the circuit
board and sweated to make sure everything was 100% accurate.
In the end standing on the porch of Musonia, as Randy and I so often did, smoking a cigarette
(so appropriate if you knew Randy) the Marshall engineer and I said goodbye and off he went
back to England and I was left with special memories of Randy and his amps once again.

Randy Rhoads: Tribute to a Timeless Talent
Randy Rhoads was more than just a
guitar player he was a lion! He represented
the hardworking musician whose dedication
to his instrument brought him all the success
that he deserved, without compromising his
attitude and vision or his sound and tone. He
also laid down the blueprint to show us how
to follow our own vision as well.
KirkHammett,Metallica
I cant say enough good things about Randy and the
influence he had on me, especially when it came to
orchestrating. The classical vibe he had was incredible.
I loved Randys brittle sound and his awesome ability to
double his leads. Theres no telling what that cat would be
busting off if he was still around. He was a monster player
and his guitar work on Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a
Madman was definitely one step above anything else
going on at that time. To me, Eddie Van Halen was heavy
rock n roll, but Randy was heavy metal.
DimebagDarrell(RIP),Pantera,Damageplan
From Randy's fierce playing to
his dedication as a musician, he was
and still is an inspiration to me in all
ways, not just as a guitarist.

I was 13 when I first heard Randy playing on the live
'Tribute' album which is still my favourite Ozzy release
and always will be. The way Randy played rhythm and
threw in those gnarly licks in-between just blew me
away. I was already familiar with players like Steve Vai
and Yngwie Malmsteen but there was just something
about his sound that was something else.
He's definitely been a big influence on my playing... and
how I like my guitars shaped! Each note he played
served the music which is what makes a great guitarist...
and that was Randy.
AlexiLaiho,ChildrenofBodom
