Metal Health Goes To The Top, Working With Ozzy & Rudy Sarzo’s Faith

Legendary rock bassist Rudy Sarzo is back for more. Last episode was all about his childhood, growing up in Cuba and coming to America as a young teen. This one is all about the music and Rudy has done a lot of that!

Rudy begins part 2 talking about his early days in music, playing Latin music back in Florida. Rudy describes hearing this new kind of music coming over from the UK, and it wasn’t The British Invasion, this was darker and heavier. It was the beginning of what would be called Heavy Metal, with bands like Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and a man who Rudy would later work with, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. Rudy remembers how Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne took him in. After playing with Ozzy, and his good friend, the late Randy Rhoads, Rudy was asked to play on Quiet Riot’s record Metal Health. That record has only sold over 10 million copies worldwide. If you haven’t heard of that record, maybe you remember “Cum On Feel The Noise”, one of the top songs of 1983. In great detail, Rudy recollects what life was like on the road and the demand that a number one record puts on a band.

There are great stories about legendary artists. He’s played with so many of rock’s best. The best line is when Victoria asks Rudy if he took pictures during his 40 years rock. Speaking of Victoria, her rendition of “Cum On Feel The Noise” might be better than the original. Rudy is also very open about his relationship with God and how that has always been the most important thing to him, other than family. 

Brain asks Rudy about playing one last time with his old friend Ozzy Osbourne. One show. July 5th in England. “Back To The Beginning”. It’s a star-studded night jam packed with musical icons.
