Sorry, but Vai and Sheehan were light years beyond Randy and Rudy. The only duo close to Vai and Sheehan would be Paul Gilbert and Billy Sheehan.
I'll never understand why people like Rudy Sarzo so much. He played in QR and Ozzy with Randy, sure, but so what? Bob Daisley wrote the basslines, all Rudy had to do was play them. In QR, Kelly and Randy wrote the basslines and then Rudy simply had to cover them.
Rudy is a hired gun who plays other peoples music From QR to Whitesnake to Dio.
I couldnt agree with you more. I COULD NOT. I dont think Rudy is all that special, No he did not do any writing off metal health. He played on two songs off that album. Chuck Wright and some other bassists played with Kevin on that. For myself I think Steve Harris, Geezer Butler, Billy Sheehan, and Johnny Lee Middleton are some great bassists..
My first actual release was “Speak of the Devil” with Ozzy… even though “Metal Health” and “Speak of the Devil” were released at the same time. I made a point to let Quiet Riot know I was still playing with Ozzy Osbourne. I was not officially a member of the band Quiet Riot. They actually had a couple of bass players. There was not an official bass player. The first day I went in there to record the session Tony Cavazo was in there. We did “Thunderbird,” “Slick Black Cadillac” and three other tracks. So there were two or three songs already in the can when I went in there to do the session. One was “Metal Health” and “Don’t Wanna Let You Go” which were recorded by Chuck Wright.
So he played on a couple. So proving Rockys point that Rudy is just a bassist for hire.
