Über diesen Titel

 On this episode of Talking Guitars, we dive into a wild rock-history moment: “Randy was trying to get backstage to meet him, but Eddie was bouncing off the walls in his underwear!” That unforgettable story comes from Kelly Garni, who sets the record straight on the supposed rivalry between Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen—and the truth might surprise you. For years, fans and guitar magazines framed Rhoads and Eddie as head-to-head rivals: two young, groundbreaking players redefining rock guitar in the late ’70s and early ’80s. It made for irresistible headlines—just like the media-fueled tension between Metallica and Megadeth—but according to Garni, the so-called feud between Randy and Eddie was mostly fiction. Back when Van Halen was lighting up the Hollywood club scene and “Eruption” was blowing minds nightly, Rhoads was still shredding with Quiet Riot. The bands played the same circuit—Starwood one night, Gazzarri's the next—sparking rumors of a guitar war that fans couldn’t get enough of. Then Randy joined Ozzy Osbourne and helped launch Ozzy’s solo career into the stratosphere, and the “rivalry” narrative exploded. But Garni insists Randy had zero interest in competing. He respected Eddie’s genius—he just wasn’t wired to think in terms of beating anyone. The result? Not a bitter feud, but two legendary innovators pushing guitar into the future at the exact same time—each changing rock forever in their own way. 🎸 TALKING GUITARS: Music & Guitar News LIVE! 🤘 Join us LIVE for another epic Guitar LIVE Stream — we’re talking guitars, gear, tone & mods, plus the latest music and guitar news from around the world! 🎶 👇 Tune in LIVE, jump in the chat, and let’s talk guitars!
