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.
John5,RobZombie&soloartist
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 mustve only weighed a 100lbs
wet! His guitar was almost as big as he was
but he played the hell out of it.
KerryKing,Slayer
