On a new episode of radio show and podcast It’s Showtime with Rikki Lee, legendary Quiet Riot bass player Rudy Sarzo shares about his experiences playing with late guitar master Randy Rhoads and what it's like being back in the fold with the iconic band again.
During the interview, Sarzo relates what it is about heavy metal and rock n’ roll that has seen him embrace a career that includes playing with Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Dio, Blue Oyster Cult, Geoff Tate, Yngwie Malmsteen, Devil City Angels, and the Guess Who.
Sarzo was the man on the bass throughout the peak of Quiet Riot’s fame. He was named 1983 Top Bassist by readers of Circus Magazine for his mastery of the instrument and for putting on phenomenal stage shows.
Quiet Riot’s album Metal Health was the first heavy metal album to reach number one on the Billboard charts. It spawned the hits “Metal Health (Bang Your Head)” and “Cum on Feel the Noize” and opened the door for the worldwide popularity of hair metal.
Hosted by showbiz personality and celebrity publicist Rikki Lee Travolta, the weekly interview program provides a behind-the scenes look into the world of entertainment.
