I met Jizzy (and John Corabi) when they were in Ratt. He was out in the crowd rocking out just like a fan. I didnt know he was fronting them at the time and I told him had I known I wished I'd brought my Love/Hate CDs for him to sign he replied "holy shit thank you I didnt think anyone remembers or even listens to that stuff but very cool thanks!!" ... instead he spun me around & signed the back of my wife beater I had on. Such a cool cat very humble and appreciative 🤘
I met Jizzy once around 88 or 89. He was pleasant enough to me but he screwed with everyone walking down the street. Love/Hate just got done tearing through an incredible set where they were stuck on a bill between a bunch of local bands playing an “industry showcase”. Love/Hate were as confused as the audience as to why they were there. Either way, the band just killed it. They were all great players but their drummer, Joey, was incredible.
Here I am thinking to myself, “I need to see where QR is performing and buy some tickets”. Turns out they’re performing in my neighborhood next month. Jizzy & Rudy! 🤟🏼
I personally don't really go see these bands anymore because it matters to me who is in the band, but I also don't have any problem at all with what Q Riot or any of most of these other bands are doing. They're making a living. It's their job. It's what they do, and I'm perfectly fine with that part of it. As Banali actually said himself in the Q Riot documentary, it's payroll. I also think that more bands from the 80's need to take a stand for that time. The musicianship, on average, in the 80's was superior to the grunge movement. George Lynch, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Yngwie, drummers like Tommy Aldridge, Pat Torpey, Gregg Bisonnette, William Calhoun and Rod Morgenstein. The 80's had so much more talent than the 90's by way of comparison. Even Bob Ezrin has called Kip Winger, yes Kip Winger, an amazing musician in the documentary Hired Gun. I would argue Ezrin is highly qualified to make that assessment. All of those guys and more compared to..........Kurt Cobain? The DeLeo brothers? Sean Kinney? Uh, yeah I'll stick with the 80's guys. And if you're a fan of 80's rock you should really never refer to these bands as "hair" bands. That is a derogatory term given to the 80's rock bands by music critics that hated them, and fans of the grunge scene. Lastly, Motley Crue and Def Leppard are playing football stadiums this summer, and they are already guaranteed to average close to 35,000 per night, and those aren't final numbers either, more tickets will be sold as we near those dates coming to fruition. Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and many other grunge bands are still active, think they could team up and play football stadiums? I wouldn't bet a lot money that they could I'll tell you that.
Waste Some Time with Jason Green he’s lucky you want to interview him. His loss - you’re the best interview show on RU-vid and even better now with Monaco as your sidekick!
Jizzy is high if he thinks he can compare QR to The Who. If Zac Starky had a band of unknowns and was going out on tour as The Who, it might be comparable.
@@GlamprinceRockking Might want to do your homework. Alex has been in the QR tribute band since 2005, and Chuck has been in and out of the Quiet Riot since they recorded Metal Health, and is no longer in the band now.
