At 61 years old there is no question that Rudy Sarzo is still kicking ass and taking names. When it comes to hard rock and heavy metal bass players there may be no one that has done more. He was a member of Quiet Riot in the beginning, during their heyday in the 80′s and for the renion in the late 90′s. He also was a member of Ozzy’s Blizzard of Ozz line-up. He played with Whitesnake at the height of their popularity. Then he played with Dio and most recently was a member of Blue Oyster Cult. He now has 2 bands that he’s formed on his own; Tred and Animetal USA.
