I've found the magazine from this 1981 interview. This is the mag translatiion to English.
After Suicide Solution (with Ozzy on a roll) Ozzy proclaimed with great enthusiasm several Sabbath songs as an encore, Iron Man and Paranoid .
After this concert we talked with Randy Rhoads, Rudy Sarzo and Tommy Aldridge
-Randy, how did you meet Ozzy?
RANDY RHOADS: I met Ozzy in a club in L.A., Ozzy was looking for musicians for his group and we were a perfect match.
-With Quiet Riot you made two LP’s but the group never made It big, why?
RANDY: when we made our first LP we were still young, I was just 17 and at that time the situation for hard rock bands in America was very bad.
-Tell us something about the new LP
RANDY: The title is “Diary of a Madman” and it will be released in October, I can assure you that it’s lots better then the first one
-BOB DAISLEY (bass) and LEE KERSLAKE (drums) are replaced, why?
Randy: after our first tour it appeared that Ozzy and Bob couldn’t agree with each other en Ozzy wasn’t happy with Lee’s support
-And then?
RANDY: then it was the time to search for good replacements, I had the idea of asking Rudy Sarzo, we were in Quiet Riot together and Ozzy requested Tommy Aldridge
RUDY SARZO: It was a close call or I would have went to Angel, Randy’s phone call was right on time.
-During the concert you changed your guitar a lot, was there something wrong?
RANDY: each song needs a different sound so it’s necessary to change guitar, I prefer playing on a Les Paul.
(After this conversation we saw Tommy Aldridge sitting quietly in the corner)
-Why did you leave Pat Travers?
TOMMY: business.
-After a bit of urging Aldridge told us:
I didn’t like it at all musically or financially Travers was very strict. But the real reason I left was manager David Hemmings. He’s an ….. (censored)
Do you know he used to be a roadie with Ozzy? He should have stayed that! Radioactive is the worst LP Travers has ever recorded.
-What did you do after that?
Tommy: I played a blue Monday(?) with Gary Moore and recorded an LP with him but it didn’t turn out to anything.
-What do you expect from the new LP?
Tommy: Although I didn’t play on it , it will be fantastic!See more— with Rudy Sarzo.
