OZZY OSBOURNE & Quiet Riot Rudy Sarzo "The Metal Movement" 

And he has the clearest and most sober memories of how things happened in the past. Not many musicians from that time have that capability.

Yes, and so down to earth... wish the same could’ve been said of Butch and many others, but yeah. You can obviously tell I’m a diehard metal health era QR fan, still play the hell out of Metal Health & Condition Critical 🎶🎧🎵🎸🎵🎶

I love this guy!

@William Jefferson Dude... think it’s a wig tbh... or probably dyed... but then again could be his genes... i’m no expert on that subject 😉

I'll throw my 2 cents in here,. Rudy was actually a hair dresser, when Ozzy shaved his head in 82 or 83 I forget Sharon was mad, she gave Rudy a wig and told him to cut the hair so it would look good on Ozzy..I read that in Rudy's 2006 book...it's a great book, Rudy has alot of info because he wrote in a journal, and kept records of everyday events, he also wasn't a drinker, he's very religious and prayed to god...he made a choice in ozzy's band to not do drugs or drink ..if u haven't read his book, go ahead it's great

It’s genes, I guess... If you want someone who hasn’t aged (pretty much) at all, try (and I’m 95% sure any of you already know who this is) Valery Kipelov (vocalist of Aria & Kipelov) the only real difference between him back in the 80s to him currently is his hair got gray, he’s about 8 years younger tho.

THIS. I am looking at the guy and am pretty much in awe of how incredibly well he has aged. Looks about 55 to 60 tops.

Not sure as I don't ever recall watching or reading any interviews with him where he says differently but I'd venture to guess he never got caught up in the typical drug use/addiction.

Yes! Perspectives I never knew, never knew to think of. Plus, did not get into metal 'til about '89. Love the history stuff!

Nope. He is the most down to earth, friendly and non-ego musician you will ever meet. I met him standing in line at Cesars Palace back in 2014. He must have noticed how giddy I looked when I recognized him. He reached out to shake my hand and said hello. We spoke for several minutes and he was so cool, asking about me, if I was on vacation or there for work, if I played, how long I had been playing, what kind of music I enjoyed.... just so cool. Of course I was fan grilling inside over him and all, but he was cool, friendly, and very accommodating (yes, I had to get a selfie). He told me about Rock N' Roll Fantasy Camp and I can't wait to jam with him

@@AceAskin Wow! That's awesome! Good for you. You know, that's exactly how I imagine it would be like to meet him. Just cool and down to Earth. Thanks for sharing...

Legends or even hero’s don’t see themselves that way

"I burned my ship" thats a Cortez reference, meaning there is no going back. Succeed or die.

Yes this man is a walking legend.

Bass players in general don’t get the credit they should... with the general dichotomy within bands... they’re not exactly getting all the girls. An exception to this rule is of course Blackie Lawless (but he was also the lead vocalist of W.A.S.P. so don’t know how valid my point is).

@@dragonqueen6589 Ever heard of Nikki Sixx? Lol. He maybe underrated (I don’t know, I think he’s good, but not great), but Nikki was arguably the most popular in Crue, perhaps tied with Tommy. Sixx was definitely gettin him some pu$$y.

@@katkenobi6765 I don’t like Crüe and that’s purely bc he killed Razzle - I think Mike Monroe has some real reservations regarding Motley Crüe, because although he said and this is a loose quote “I don’t blame him (Vince Neil) [for the breakup of Hanoi Rocks] bc Sammy Yaffa (the bassist) was planning on leaving anyhow” but then when he was approached to appear in “The Dirt” has immediately expressed his unwillingness to do so. And Sixx is one of the rare exceptions to the rule, usually reserved for those who are lead vocalist as well, such as Blackie Lawless or Lemmy Kilmister etc. and it seems in general if a bassist is primarily the song writer (there are exceptions again, but for different reasons) seemed to be about a way to live out their {mostly sexual} fantasies a good example of that is “Seventeen” by Winger - Whoa that song has aged like spoiled milk… I mean Kip Winger’s defence of the aforementioned track is piss-poor again a loose quotation “I never had s*** with a 17 yo after I turned 21) and I’m like ok… If it didn’t really happen, why pen a song on the matter which eventually became your band’s biggest hit?! Bravia & Butthead had every right to pick the ever lovin’ f*** outta you for it, Hah! Grunge killed Hair/Glam metal? No people just grew tired of the style of writing…. and this coming from a person who is a big fan of that style of song-writing in general!

@@dragonqueen6589 The truth is, Lawless was a guitar player, playing bass. He eventually went back to playing guitar.

@@dragonqueen6589 Kip has stated what the inspiration for 17 was. If you want to try to make it something that never was, that's your right, but don't try to go woke in Kip Winger. It doesn't work.

Wait…. I swear I saw you in the comments over on Metal school at some point, correct me if I’m wrong won’t you dude?

I was --- THERE. In my Teens for ALL of the 70's. In my 20's for ALL of the 80's. Born and raised in San Diego. Back and forth from there and here in Kentucky throughout the mid 70's and part of the 80's. Most of the 80's was in San Diego. The music scene was ALIVE back then. . . NOW - ??? . . == FUCK ---------- !!! == . AUTO TUNE. Crap and SHIT HOP. Radio sucks except for the Classic Rock stations. The 80's was the last decade and ERA for GREAT MUSIC and Bands. The 80's were the LAST BASTION of so many music styles and acts. Very diverse and you KNEW who was who by their SIGNATURE SOUND. MTV was JUST THAT --- MUSIC Television. . . TODAY - ??? . . == HAHAHAHAHAHA. == . . NOT LOL. . I don't speak EBONICS and I'm not RE - TARDED. . .

Exactly! 1979 a buddy turned me on to Preists 78 release....Stained Class. I heard Exciter and was like wtf was that😮. I was sucked into metal at that point. One year later...1980... British Steel came out and the Metal scene was on! This 17 yr old who had already played guitar since 12 got locked in the bedroom with guitar and amp. And so the story goes........😎

@@clayearth8287 for me, when I heard ‘Victim of Changes’ that was it ! Hard to compare it Black Sabbath’s ‘Sabotage’ that was released a year earlier, but Priest took the torch from Sabbath and kept it going... of course ‘British Steel’ was the explosion...

BTW Rudy played great that night.

I seen Quit Riot in 1995 at the Thirsty Whale in River Grove just outside of Chicago

😅😅

@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. that may be true, but when you're on the road for a long time, Ozzy had his own bus and Tommy was more interested in the women he had in every town who else will Randy hang out with when he didn't have much experience in touring?

@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. he got Rudy a job at Musonia and he took care of him to get him in Ozzy, so I have to think it extended beyond just business.

@@g_man2177 Wait, Tommy Aldridge was a womanizer?

All of the pertinent details can be found in Bob Daisley’s book, called For Facts Sake...8)

@@jodichristensen9536 I will have to check that out.

If I recall most of the metal bands that came out in the 90's got their break at or played at the ozzfest & there was bands from the 70's & 80's playing at the same shows so I disagree w that statement.

Cause the 90s music killed the 80s scene.

AC/DC

It's hard rock metal, always was in the heavy metal family

@@MetalAsylumNJ I'm not 100% sure hard rock qualifies as heavy metal. I think some people who don't really understand the difference between the genres get them confused. And I think a lot of older heavy metal bands became hard rock bands, instead, because the heavy metal bands were getting heavier. Like, Van Halen were hard rock. Although they didn't even like that label (or DLR didn't; he called VH Big Rock, whatever that means). But Ozzy and Black Sabbath are definitely Heavy Metal. But I think there are many bands that are hard rock that have been mislabeled as heavy metal. Led Zeppelin is hard rock, or even blues rock. But some think they're heavy metal. Deep Purple is pretty loud, but they're definitely hard rock, not metal. I think Whitesnake is definitely heavy metal now, at least since their 1987 eponymous album brought them into the hair metal genre. But before that album? They were hard blues rock. Definitely a spin-off of Deep Purple. And for that matter, a lot of bands that were once considered Hair Metal are more hard rock or blues rock these days. I think truthfully? Heavy Metal came out of the Hard Rock genre, not the other way around. Actually, too, there are several bands that some call Melodic Rock, that kind of bridge the gap between hard rock and heavy metal. But most of those bands, to me, seem far more hard rock than heavy metal. I don't think hard rock has gone away, though, or just become heavy metal. AC/DC is a perfect example of a hard rock band. Actually, Guns'n'Roses is a hard rock band, too. I think Def Leppard were kinda Heavy Metal, because they came in as part of the whole NWOBHM genre. But, honestly? Def Leppard are more hard rock than heavy metal. I think, heavy as Rainbow was, or is, that they're really hard rock. And I'm hard pressed to consider DIO the band heavy metal, even though Ronnie James Dio played with Black Sabbath, and Sabbath were probably the primary inventors of Heavy Metal. And as hard and heavy as Motley Crue were? I don't think they were ever really heavy metal. They were much more melodic hard rock. To me. Judas Priest is definitely heavy metal, although they didn't really start out that way. They were more hard rock in their earliest incarnations. I think their third album, Sin After Sin, put Priest in the heavy metal category for sure. But Rocka-Rolla, their first album, and most of the follow-up, Sad Wings of Destiny, were hard rock, or melodic hard rock, with elements of blues rock mixed in. Simon Phillips double kick drumming on Sin After Sin, however, definitely kicked Priest into heavy metal territory. Like, a band like Slaughter is definitely melodic hard rock. Same with Great White. Neither band is quite heavy enough to be heavy metal, really. But, that's just my opinion. And I think heavy metal is more of an offshoot of hard rock, not the other way around. Like, back in the day, many people considered Twisted Sister heavy metal. I don't. Or, not anymore. Not really. They're much more melodic hard rock than heavy metal. That said? Dee Snider, Twisted Sister's lead singer, is definitely going the heavy metal route on his two most recent solo albums. Especially, obviously, on For The Love of Metal. But, like I said: Just my opinion. (I just feel hard rock is a bigger umbrella genre than heavy metal, which is why, for me at least, heavy metal is an offshoot of hard rock. But, your mileage may vary.)

​@@toddvandell85​I make the switch from Hard Rock to Metal somewhere around Scorpions, Dio, Accept, Queensryche, once you get into like Megadeath, Judas Priest, Savatage you are definitely into metal by then.

You got that right! I still call them that and people think I’m nuts.

@@frozendivots1564 Ppl ask me who? Then I tell them. Then the get it.

of course the greatest band of all time, the blizzard of ozz

@@frozendivots1564 why, any real fan should know who you are talking about, it became an Ozzy solo act when he started shuffling through musicians and having the producers help write the music

What rock have you been living under ?

Hell yes !!! 👍🤘

Abolish triggers and samples then

thats the best description of a Motorhead show yet...scared!!! We love it.

@@80smetalrecyclebin LOL Thanks

at some point i realized I was more of a Blizzard of Ozz band fan than OZZY FAN especially after learning of how he treated some people or turned his head to Darth Hideous stabbing people in the back

RR was getting ready to leave the ozzy band bcuz he did not want to record the retarded speak of the devil. I wish he would have!

Yeah me to Steve Polley is a great vocalist… our guy here has been beaten to that be another chann I’m pretty sure and if you give me a minute, then I’ll find the link and share {that’s if ya really want it/haven’t already seen it}
