RUDY SARZO To Hit The Stage With QUIET RIOT For The First Time In 18 Years; New Tour Dates Announced

Quiet Riot has announced that Rudy Sarzo will be officially re-joining the band's live ranks on November 6 at The Groove Music Hall in Woodford, VA.

The band recently welcomed legendary bassist and Metal Health lineup founding member Rudy Sarzo back to the band after an 18-year absence. Rudy is looking forward to recording and touring with Quiet Riot beginning on November 6.

Quiet Riot continues its historic journey as per the wishes of Frankie Banali, who passed away in 2020, and the Banali estate. The band continues to play live with the lineup composed of Quiet Riot guitarist Alex Grossi, vocalist Jizzy Pearl, and filling Frankie Banali’s shoes behind the drums is Johnny Kelly of Type O Negative.

2022 marks the 40th anniversary of Quiet Riot, with Rudy Sarzo, recording the landmark Metal Health album, which has sold over 10 million copies and spawned the hits "Cum On Feel The Noize" and "Metal Health", and on the follow-up record Condition Critical. Sarzo appeared in the most notable music videos in the MTV age and toured with the band until 1985 and again from 1997 to 2003. During his years out of the band, Rudy Sarzo was a member of Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, Dio, Blue Öyster Cult, Queensrÿche, and The Guess Who.

States Sarzo: "I'm excited to be back home and celebrate the Quiet Riot legacy, which began 40 years ago next year with the recording of Metal Health, the first heavy metal album to reach #1 on the Billboard top 200 albums chart."
