LEGENDARY HEAVY METAL BASSIST RUDY SARZO TO RETURN TO QUIET RIOT
QUIET RIOT is set to welcome RUDY SARZO back into the band after an 18-year absence. Rudy
was one of the original founding members of the legendary Metal Health lineup. He played bass
on the "Metal Health" album, which sold over ten million copies and spawned the hits "Cum On
Feel The Noize" and "Metal Health" and on the follow-up record "Condition Critical". He
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 Oyster Cult, Queensryche, and The Guess Who. Rudy is
looking forward to recording and touring with Quiet Riot beginning in 2022.
With the move, longtime Quiet Riot bassist Chuck Wright is graciously stepping aside to
continue his recent solo efforts while heightening his role with his award-winning residency
show, "Ultimate Jam Night" at the legendary "Whisky A Go-Go" which all the members of Quiet
Riot fully support.
The band and their management would like to formally thank Chuck Wright for his many years
of dedication and perseverance and, most importantly, his distinguished talent. Wright has
served off-and-on with Quiet Riot for nearly 40 years, appears on nine albums, and is known as
the bassist for Quiet Riot's mega-hit "Metal Health" (Bang Your Head) and "Don't Wanna Let
You Go". He was a contributing songwriter on 1986's "QRIII" and appeared in the band's video
for "The Wild And The Young," among others. Wright has been one of the band's longest
touring and recording members and will continue touring with the band through the end of
2021. Chuck is and will always be an invaluable member of the Quiet Riot family.
Rudy Sarzo said "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."
