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 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 the recording of the landmark Metal Health album with Rudy on bass, which has sold over ten million copies. It spawned the hits Cum On Feel The Noize and Metal Health and the entire hair band craze in the 1980s. 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 Rudy 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.”

This is as bad as KI$$ and Judas Priest. Let it die already!
….and Ratt, Queensryche, Foreigner, LA Guns, Great White, etc….
C`mon LA Guns ?
These guys are just peaking .
Why?
I’m not a tour manager, but don’t most tours follow a path vs. going back & forth across the country?
I’m going to see Elvis next month so my live show budget is capped out.
