Get your shit together. It's a beautiful fucking day to be alive. I'm feeling great. I'm sorry about the podcast. I'm not even fucking sorry. I just had to tell you how I feel. That's it. Listen, man.

Ever since I moved, I left this dude alone. It's like you're dealing with a fucking retard. But as usual, people get fucking froggy when the fucking king is away. So now I got to come back and reclaim my motherfucking throne. You understand me? And we're working on it, cock suckers. But it's great. It's Wednesday.

I'm feeling good. I had a great fucking week. I don't know if you guys got to watch the show on HBO. Came on Monday night with John Berndtall. We were supposed to, he was supposed to be a guest today. We got Rudy instead, but we'll have Berndtall on next week to talk about we own the city. You watch it, Mike? Not bad.

The first episode was kind of fucking slow, but John was great. The characters were great. You know, I like that wire writing. I like all that shit, ghetto. I live for that stuff. It's great. Yeah. always get going to like the third episode

but hopefully we'll have John next week. I got Rudy today. Rudy's one of my favorite fucking people guys. Ever since I've met him he's always been like an older uncle like I could ask him advice on anything because

music, comedy, entertainment, it all goes hand in fucking hand. A comedian is a failed musician and a musician is a comedian who was fucking smart. You know what I'm saying? He said fuck going on a row with no guitar. I I got to protect myself and shit in case Will Smith wants to come up here some shit. But all jokes aside, no, I've had great talks of Rudy.

We talk about, you know, just the business and how he sees it, how I see it. You know, I started taking some guitar lessons from him, and it's fucking crazy. Like, compared to my teacher that I was paying 40 bucks, Rudy was 30 times better. And it's so weird when you get a lesson from somebody who he's a fucking legend guys I mean White Snake you know it's just so many fucking things but he's not a legend because of his base playing I tell you that much he's a legend because he's a good fucking guy man and uh he just feels you know if if you're smart and you're a young musician I would follow Rudy he gives some great fucking advice he's not a a party or he's not a heavy and

battle banger, you know. It's so funny when you meet people what you portray them to be. Like, who's the crazy guy? I like the guy that does all the Ozzy Osbourne shit. You know, he does, he's got his own band. Fucking crazy dude with a beard, you know. Zach Wild, you know, Zach Wild. I love Zach Wild.

But you know what I love about Zach Wild? I love everything I hear about. I love that when Zach goes on tour, he goes on tour. There ain't no showering. There ain't no shaving. You're just going to be a fucking rough neck and stink. I love all that shit. But then when he's home, he's a dad. He shaves the beard. He's at his kid's softball games. You know, these are like split. You have to have like a split life in this and you have to be cool with it. If not, you know, how many times I was sitting there eating dinner with Mercy and my wife and we're talking about like, you know,

stupid kid shit. And before that, we're saying prayers. And while she's saying prayers, I'm like, I got to go down to the store in an hour. and unleash a beret of fucking curses, racial epitats and all this shit. This is double life. Nobody believes this shit. Like I'm sitting here saying prayers with my hands up, like a half a fag and everything. And then now I'm going to be at the comedy store yelling and screaming, talking about sucking my dick.

Guys, it's not normal. But, you know, you fucking figure it out. I couldn't imagine being like, for me, I would love to be like in a band and have my kids and go. fishing and shit. And then Tuesday night you show up in Philadelphia, you're on stage with Led Zeppelin with gongs, and you know, you look over your shoulder

and there's fucking John Bonham, fucking playing the shit out of the drum, drinking Jack Daniels and shit. People throwing your joints, underwear as are flying. You're like, I can't wait to get back to Freehold to that softball game on fucking Saturday. This is craziness.

It's insanity when you mix the two. Like, I learned from Joe Roganel because he already had daughters and he had a stepdaughter, and I'm like, How the fuck do you do it? You go out, you be crazy, you smoke dope, then you got to go home and face these fucking kids.

Let me tell you. Dog, I try my hardest not to smoke around my kid, but I try even harder not to be stoned about it because I don't know what the fuck she's talking about when I'm sober. So can you about it? Rick Doakerman, one of my fucking idols, had a great joke that he had to stop smoking dope when he had his kids because his kids were asking him with creepy questions

while he was stoned like that. How come you drink grape juice, it goes in purple, but it comes out yellow and he would go, uh, let me, you gotta get back to me on that. That was one of my favorite fucking jokes from Rick Dukum, rest of soul.

But it's, it's really fucking hard, guys, and that's what I was having a hard time with when I got back here. I was like, what the fuck am I doing? I felt like I was in the mafia.

Like, every night I'm having dinner with a nice girl and another nice woman, and then I got to go kill somebody. I got to go shoot somebody in the fucking head, and then come back,

like nothing happened. Like, I would go to the store on a Tuesday night. There's Kate Quigley would be telling me, run, there's a chick who wants to suck your dick in the back. And I would get out, you know, after I would do one show and then smoke a blunt, and then they give you a box of ABX edibles, and then you go to your original room and do another set. And then I got to go home and walk in.

It's like, hi. And my daughter's, Daddy, we watched Harry Potter and fucking, he ate the Mongoloid or whatever the fuck they do on Harry Potter. How do you think, I don't know what she's talking about. It's like, I just came from the store where some woman was telling fucking my friend she wanted to suck my dick. I had to run out of it, and I come home to fucking Harry Potter. in Disney movies and and Canto and shit. It's tough.

But guess what? I'm getting ready to live their fucking life again because it's fun. It's fun to have an alter ego. It's amazing that I say those things on stage and on the podcast and people judge you

and they put you in a capsule. They don't know that you read a book to your daughter every night. They don't know that, you know, you save birds. I don't save birds. I'm just saying, you know. They don't know what you're really about

And it's really funny when people are like Hey, are you out doing drugs tonight? No, it's Sunday night I'm home watching Winning Time with the fucking Lakers Why would I want to be out tonight doing fucking drugs? I got something like. It's just weird what people think of you What they assume your life is like.

Like people always thought I had 20 people In the green room. I don't want 20 people in the fucking green room. You think I want chicks back there naked? I'm a married fucking man. I like Felicia. I like the MC. They both smoke.

Whoever don't want to be in there, they better be able to fucking smoke. One MC told me I'm allergic to THC. Lucy, you ain't working this weekend because there's going to be a lot of refra in this fucking green room. Edibles and THC dust and, you know, it's a lifestyle, guys, and you got to get into it. And you know what? I missed it for a long time. I missed. I miss rocking and rolling.

That's what I fucking miss, guys. And I was scared to rock and roll. You have to be. You have to be today. Who's not going to be there with a camera? Who's going to fucking, you know, are you going to say a fucking. a fucking some word and people gonna tape it and take you to fuck.

Who the fuck knows? But you know what? You just gotta go out there and not give a fuck. It's like somebody telling you I don't want to go to I don't want to go to Jiu-Jitsu because I might break a bone. I don't want to be a boxer because I might get brain damage. If you think about that shit, then you're going to get brain damage. You probably got brain damage already thinking that way.

If you're going to think that way, but you have to go up on stage going, I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck what they think. And especially me now. Listen, I'm not going for no Netflix special. I could care less if they like me or they don't fucking like me. I'm not going for nothing.

I am going for an audition for Tom Carvel tomorrow, and you guys know I'm excited about that shit. I've lived to fuck. I live for Carvel to have the opportunity. Listen, I'm going to put the audition on tape. There's somebody on that movie that doesn't like me. I can't even tell you who it is. But last time I put an audition in for a movie that I thought that guy didn't like me,

it was a grudge match and then I realized the director was the one that sent in the fucking email for me so you never know when you get those type of auditions at first I was like oh this bitch is involved with this movie and all I go you know what that means and the audition is just a page and a half so I could learn that an hour and I could just blast it I'll fucking read it first then I'll put the yellow on it to mark it and then I'll put my little things then I smoke a joint and revisit it that's how you fucking nail an audition

I got my little list. I read through the list and mark all the stuff, so the character has a fucking history. And tomorrow morning, like at 10, I have my wife set up to a little camera poo, the teleprompter, and I'll drop some fucking knowledge, and hopefully I'll be Tom Carvel. Listen, the chances are slim,

but fuck it, you got to go for it, cock suckers. I preach this shit. You got to go for it. If you walk on ice, you might as well dance. And guess what? It's all over. It's time for you to fucking go for it. That's it.

Yeah, that's it. time for me to go for it, guys. I've been sitting here long enough fucking going to softball games and meeting parents. It's time for me to go on the road and tell you motherfuckers what I really think. And that's plain and fucking simple. Do not forget it sold out, but they might last them tickets loose. I'm on R.E.'s storyteller's show next Monday night at the Village Underground, New York City, 8 o'clock. I don't know what time I'm going up.

I'm just going to go there, tell a story, and fucking come home, smoke a joint and see the boys. Who's better than Uncle Joey? Nobody cocks up. Because now I got a taste of blood And I'm ready for these motherfuckers Now without further ado The great Rudy Sazo I hope you enjoy this

What's gonna Welcome to the joint you savage Look at me I got sunburn I got everything last weekend It must have been 2,000 fucking degrees in Jersey On the baseball field

Oh man What's going on my brother Great to see you. So blessings, blessing. I'm really blessed. It's all good. Life is good. No complaints.

How's mom? You know? Oh, she's a man. What a blessing to have her home with us. And it was, you know, Rebecca. She instigated the whole thing. That's my wife, you know. I mean, for the listeners.

You know, people watching this. My wife's name is Rebecca. And she, you know, she was kind of like, yeah, let's get her home now. Because, you know, we were, that period with COVID, you know, that was kind of tough, you know, traveling and almost impossible and the risk. And she was living in Miami by herself. And she didn't want to, you know, get the shots and be all by herself and something happened. And so as soon as we brought her here to Los Angeles, you know, to live with us and right off the plane to get her first vaccine for COVID, you know. So it's so good.

It's so good. It's like she's brought so much joy and blessings to our home. And, yeah, we're having fun, actually. You know, Rudy, when you told me you were bringing your mom. You know, my sister died in Cuba, like a month and a half ago maybe. Oh, sorry to do anything. I couldn't really do anything. You know the situation.

I could call. Yeah. Yeah. And it took me four days to get a fucking calling card. I couldn't even get a calling card to call. And, you know, it was weird. But thinking I was sad and at the same time I was happy because now she's with my mother,

which is what my mother always wanted. And the following couple weeks really started fucking me a little bit. I was watching some show, winning time. The Lakers on HBO. And his mother sends them off. And I'm like, I never had that. Like, I never had a mom sending you off to fucking Colorado. or L.A. or before you go do a show or something.

And, you know, it was really weird because when my mother died, I swept it under the carpet. Like, I didn't deal with it immediately. I couldn't. I was too young. I was involved with pussy and music and concerts, so I didn't have a chance to really process it. So for some weird reason in my mind, Rudy,

I always thought as crazy as the sounds that I would see her again. You know, and it didn't dawn on me until 45, years later that I'm not going to fucking see it. This was just a pipe dream. I was saying to me, so if any of the listeners or fucking watchers, whatever, take one thing for granted. When your

mom or your dad dies, your world sucks dick. I'm telling you, for me, even 40 years later, she never got to see my accomplishments. She never got to see that I could do this or I could do that. So you've got to be good to your moms. And I'm not saying this because next

month is Mother's Day or nothing. I'm saying this, this is general. You have to, towards the end, you want to be there with them. You want to, I don't care if it's for that last month to bring them in your house so they see what you're about and you, you could see what they're about. But now I give you so much respect, Rudy, just for you being you. Now for bringing your mom into the mix, you know, 90 years old, this is it. These are your golden years. I mean, what are you fucking 65? This is it. This is the time you want to be with fucking mom. And I know they're a painy ass that don't hear.

But you got to drive them to bingo. You got to keep them involved. Take them out. Take them to a ball. Let them have a glass of wine. You know, mom did it for us. What shouldn't you do for your fucking mom? Tell me.

And I know. Well, I go to therapy because of my mom. Because you're a fucking punk, cock sucker. Because you're a punk, cuck sucker. Tony Soprano, too. You don't go into psychiatry and tell them that your mom. Your mom is the goods. And yeah, there's great moms, there's good moms,

and there's some that are bad, but every mom comes around, the same way a dad comes around. So I'm very proud of you, Rudy, and I can't imagine the fulfillment you must feel. Oh, yeah. I mean, every night, you know, she goes from our living room where we have theater. And it's funny because every time I watch her in her favorite

chair because, you know, she's on a walker. So she's got to pick the furniture that she feels comfortable sitting in. So she found this chair in the living room. And that's kind of like her throne. We call it La Reina because she was, she was born the same day and same year as Queen Elizabeth. So she's just celebrated her 96, just like the queen did. And if you add on top of that, my wife was born the same day, same year as Princess Diana. I don't know what that means, but that is a fact. That's a message from the English people, you know what I'm saying? So getting back to my mom sitting there, so we got her, you know,

a really nice TV dinner tray. You know, so she sits there watching, and this is our ritual. Every day we watch the family feud. And even though she's, you know, because she's living in Miami, she really didn't have the need to learn English. now she does and I mean she's got a purpose now okay I learn English because I can talk to my daughter-in-law my wife and my wife is doing the same thing she's learning Spanish and I'm like really impressed how fast she's picking everything up because she wants to now there's a purpose there's a person

that speaks Spanish besides me in the house that she needs to communicate with and and it's really so so sweet to walk in the room and my wife has a a a an app on her phone and my mom has an app in the phone and they translate what they want to say to each other. It's a fucking, it's a new adventure in your life. It is. On top of the many other adventures, now you're just doing your thing with Quiet Riot. My apologies to you. My night got fucked up that night.

There was a sleepover. That's how I had got clearance that night. I love it, love it. The girls were going to do a sleepover. And that afternoon, the guy, the dad who was going to watch him, got called into work in New York because he's a sanitation, like executive. So he got called, and he called me. He's like, we're going to cancel.

I go, you know what, you can't get me? My daughter wouldn't shut the fuck up about it all week and the other kids. So I went over there and sat with them until like fucking 9 o'clock to the moms got home because the moms are going out. And they didn't know what the right hand in the left hand was doing. But I'll catch you on the way back either in PA. Oh, yeah. Jimmy said you were great

He sent me a video of the bass solo Fucking Rudy up there Doing his thing looking like a fucking Kid at the Palladium 40 years back Oh yeah Oh yeah It's weird because it's a state of mind

You know And I During this COVID You know, I said You know what I'm just gonna like Try to learn as much stuff as Interest

Special interest And one of them was Music I mean it's like sometimes, you know, it's like, did you ever question yourself, like, what you do? Why do I do what I do? Every fucking day. Yeah.

Every goddamn thing. So for me to be a musician, and it's not, you know, because growing up as a kid, I wanted to be a lot of things. I wanted to be a baseball player. I wanted to be a movie director. But once I got that card handed to me and say, okay, this is the card you're going to play. You're going to be a musician. This is it.

you know, these are the cards that you got. So, you know, this is your hand in life, you know. And I'm going like, you know, there's got to be a reason. There's got to be a purpose for me doing this. I mean, it's not just me getting up there and playing a bunch of songs. So this is even before I got back with Quiet Riot, you know. Frankie was still alive, you know, and all of that. So, and so I, you know, I went on the Internet, started, you know,

getting as much knowledge and information going to. different websites saying, okay, I like this, I don't like that, I like this, I want to hear more, and one thing came to the other. So I just started, basically, it came down to quantum physics with me. And what really attracts me about quantum physics is that, first of all, I understand it, not necessarily all of it, but the essence of it, you know, and to actually watch scientists, people who are way more educated that I will ever be in my life. I actually say, yes, there is a higher power. There is the highest power.

A creator. And the source, and we are all a source of that. And this is stuff that they do in the lab. They experiment this, and they find the smallest, smallest, smallest, smallest quantity. You know, they go down to photons. You know, they go down into like molecules, and they split them. split in the atom. There's more into the,

when you split the atom, it splits into different parts. It's more inside of it. And just like you go higher, you can go, you know, positive, negative,

or it could be the same thing. This really, you know, what device positives, a negative is that middle line, neutral, neutral, right? And you go in either directions.

You're going in the same thing. You're just getting more of the opposite, you know. And, and so, I started studying and to actually hear scientists. These are people who are like, they start out, you know, debunking the existence of a higher power.

And years ago, what was popular was to think that we live in a chaotic universe. The whole thing, this is all by accident. No, this is not by accident. This is, this is purely, there's a purpose and there's law and there's the laws. and there's the laws of nature, the laws of the universe, the laws of the creation of the creator, and the fact that what science is leaning towards is the fact that you, me, everybody else has ever existed,

this is a hologram what we experience. We're just making this thing up. And it's according to our consciousness, our belief system that things turn into, they manifest themselves. It's really crazy. I read about that. I read about that years ago.

I had to smoke like 22 joints while I was reading. I can't remember the name of it. But it's that the images we see are only in our mind. Mike doesn't see the same images that I see. It's the same images. Molecules are bumping up against each other, and you just don't see it. It's just a thing of our mind.

It's our own movie made from our mind, our life. I guess that's what they say. It makes sense to me a little bit. bit the other half I'm fucked up on so I'm not a scientist and I'm not a fucking smart guy you know what I'm saying but it's uh it's really weird but this pandemic made people think a lot you know made people think a lot others that made them so scared that they refused to think and they just kept going like a chicken without a head on I'm seeing a lot of the results from that I'm seeing the way the pandemic affected people mental health you know mental health fucking

through the roof. You see it. People may not know they're experiencing it. They're trying harder. They're overcompensating. You know, there's been so many changes. We can't keep up with them. This has been a tough time for the country. And I tell you, really, I didn't know how bad the country needed entertainment. I just heard something yesterday where the Stones had the number one tour of last year. And they did like eight fucking shows.

they did like $115 billion fucking dollars those guys and every concert now this summer I mean the concert is a fucking everybody's out from Quiet Riot to Elton John to fucking everybody's doing a mystery tour so it's like the hardest

you know people are going to fucking shows man that's what I'm trying to say people are going to comedy shows people are going out because they never want to feel the way they did for those fucking two years again so people are really overcompensating. Planes are packed. You know, vacation packages are packed.

I mean, we finally got a house the last week of August in fucking North Carolina. I'm going down there with eight of the families and the kids and the boat and the fucking helicopter. I don't know how the fuck. I got to drive eight hours. I don't know how the fuck I'm going to do it. But we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. You know, how much longer do you have left on the tour routes? Oh, this is open-ended, open-ended.

It's as long as people keep showing up, you know, because you have a, you may such a great point that's saying that people want to be entertained. And I tell you what, you know, I heard you say that and what trigger in my mind was, you know, just like you, I'm also an entertainer. So I study the meaning of what. of what I do to contribute to when people gather to come or see or show, what am I offering to them for their money and their time? They made the effort to be there.

They are there. So now it's my responsibility to deliver whatever they came for. And then some. Because once you're giving that extra, they keep coming for more. You know what I mean? You just don't say, okay, you pay so much for a ticket and I'm going to give you $100, dollars worth of entertainment for me. No, it's like you give them everything you got and then you try to find that extra bit

and say, here, thank you so much for coming here because I've been a fan longer than I've been a professional musician. So I know all of the sacrifices that fans make like myself, you know, trying to get together $3.50 to go and see Led Zeppelin play at the Sforatorium in Full-Odadell. You don't know that. You know, and everything, it starts like a week before. You prepare yourself and you listen to the music. You get pumped up on your friends.

You know, somehow you get a hold of a Led Zeppelin shirt somewhere in one of the stores, you know. And I'm talking in the 60 and the 70s. So merchandise was very, very limited back then. You know, there was usually bootleg stuff, you know. And then you make it to the show and it becomes an unforgettable experience. that I'm still talking about it with you 50 years later. It's crazy because

I charge $25 for my tickets. 30 on a Friday and Saturday, even though the agents are like, it's New York, you could charge. No, 30. I'm not, when I do a podcast and you tell me you don't like the podcast, I don't give a fuck.

It's an hour, we talk, three hours, we talk, we try to communicate the best we can. When you tell me, I did a role in the movie, and you didn't like how I acted. that's fine too. I could tolerate that. When you tell me you came to the comedy store to see me on a Tuesday and you say you didn't like my set, I could deal with that. The only thing I can't deal with is bombing on the road.

I got a real fucking thing about people coming to see me and my performance on the road. You know, I tell people all the time, when you're a gambler, you don't remember the big things you won. You remember the shit you lost. You know, with the musicians, you remember the bad shows. you know, your bass was off, who the fuck knows? Your cat died.

It's a thousand variables when you have four people putting a band together. When you go to see a concert, and that concert is tremendous, you got to thank your lucky stars, because four people were on that night at the same fucking time. You were the Yankees that night. You were the Yankees, you know what I'm saying? Some nights the singers got a sore throat, his chick gave him VD, you know, he's not going to go out there

and sling dick like usual. For me, that's why I liked the proportion. That's why I didn't want to go on the road. I didn't want to be guns and roses every night. I think that you need, just like when you need to recuperate from weights, when you lift weights, they tell you not to lift weights more than four days a week.

You got to recover. You've got to recover also. So I always respected that because I knew the more spaghetti I threw on the wall, the more chances I got the bomb. So during the week, I don't want to be out. want to be at little comedy clubs trying new shit out because if I'm on a bomb I'm going to bomb there I don't want to bomb I mean I looked at percentages that's how crazy I took it down to I took it down

to percentages I want to do great in nine out of ten shows I want to do great in 10 out of 10 shows but I know it's not a possibility it's nothing to do with me it could be the microphone the the sound coming it doesn't sound right but for the most part it's on me but I know I could give you nine out of ten, I wanted to give you immaculate performances. Not just that I was good. You know, I want, if you go, I thought that motherfucker was going to have a heart attack, I did my job. Like I did, if my face gets red, like I did two weeks ago,

and, you know, it was the first time I was on stage in a year. So if my face gets red, I got a little anger issue to me that night, you're on top, you're winning, you got it, you know. That's what I want. But I always knew that, the percentages. If I go out seven nights a week in a row, I'm going to bomb two of those nights on five. And I'm going to try to charge you big money. I'd rather charge you $20.

You come to the store. You see 20 people. And if I bomb, it's okay. I just want my percentages to be up on the weekend. Those four shows have to be tremendous. And again, I know those five shows aren't going to be great. They're going to be four out of five when I do Thursday and then two Saturday. so I add one on Thursday

that gives me six shows and I'll bomb one of those shows out of the six. Not bomb. I don't bomb anymore. I just have a bad set. That's how I did my shit. Percentages. I have so much respect for what you do

because just to get up there on stage all by yourself, not with a band. Not with a band. Not with three other or four other guys. But just on your own, you are the show. You know, know, like if it's not that I, that I can tell you that I ever phone it in, but you know, shit happens.

Shit happens on the road, you know, and sometimes your equipment is not working or, you know, properly or whatever, or you get the flu. I got the flu and I've gone on stage. I have to sit down in the middle of the show because I can't take it anymore. I sit on their drum riser. I tell you what was? Duluth, Minnesota, 1988, yeah, no, no, actually, 1987. What I tell you, guys.

Yeah. You know, so I remember all this stuff, right? Okay, so what with me now is that it's a whole different level. I, the purpose of me going on stage, going on the road is to celebrate the legacy of Quiet Riot, you know, this year 40th anniversary of recording mental health, the album. And I go, you know, prior to that, in 1978 with Randy Roads, may join the band. So next year is going to be 45 years. It's the first time I play it with Quiet Riot, you know.

And my, and to celebrate the memory of Frankie Benelli, Kevin DeBroe, and Randy Rhodes, that's my mission. I step out that door when I go on the road, like I will, God willing this Friday, step out the door. and now I know it's not about oh it's it's 4 30 in the morning I got to catch an Uber to go to the airport no no it's now it's like wow I get to do this you know I get to celebrate

I got a mission now and and for some way some reason for me it's I'm going deeper deeper because it's like no no no no this is not just me getting up there on playing stage anymore This is about the consciousness. The consciousness that brought me to quiet riot in the 70s, four guys, you know, three other guys, well, since there were, you know, Kevin and Randy and Drew Forsyte, the drummer, they were born and raised in that area, in the Los Angeles area.

Me, I'm from Cuba, you know, I made all the way down to LA. So I had some different, you know, circumstances. I was not living at home. I was not, you know, doing things in my, my, in my hometown. No, I was like the guy who was on survival mode all the time trying to like, be able to stay in the band because I'm not going to have to go back to Miami or whatever or New Jersey, you know, this was it. I already done that about three times prior to 1978.

I had left L.A. because I kept running out of money. So on this time, that was the last time. know. And so it was like all we were focused, we're going to make it, we're going to get a record deal. This is going to be a great band because that's what I saw when I first saw Quiet Riot as a guy, me walking into the Starwood, I saw this band on stage and I got it. I said, these guys, they have the vision. They know where they're going. And if they keep going, they will get there. And so then again, about a year later, I'm in the band. So I understood that. I knew what I was getting myself into. and it was a collective consciousness, you know, that we had.

And that was 45 years ago next year. So it's 44 years this year. And it means everything to me. You know, I've heard of guys who, like, you know, they have, they have, like, their favorite memories making music was in the garage because all of the guys that were all about the same thing. We're just, you know, we're happy here in this garage. We're making music. and nothing to do with anything outside of that room, right? Everything that would, that they all lived for existed there in a combination of four or five guys or girls, right?

And that band broke up in 1979, that garage band. And it was not a garage band because, you know, we were playing around town and stuff like that. But it was basically that, that's what I mean is the belief system of, a garage band. We're going to make it, right? So then Randy goes off and join Ozzy. Later on, I join Ozzy. Randy dies.

And 10 years ago, I mean, 40 years ago this year, I walk into a room to record one song as a tribute to the memory of Randy Rhodes, a song called Thunderbird that I used to play with Kevin Dubrow. While I was playing with him in his band Dubrow, which is when choir riot broke up, that's what he put together. And I was living with Kevin. So I was trying to subsidize my expensive,

you know, that I was living with him when I was paying rent. So I would play with him. And that's one of the songs that I played. So I knew it. So I went back in there with, you know, to record just one song. And that song led me to leave Ozzy, one of the biggest bands in the world.

and they were treating me fantastic. They were tremendous with me. They were generous and kind. And to leave that, because I have lost my family when I, my country, my Quiet Riot consciousness, when Randy died, it wasn't there anymore. It wasn't. You know, I mean, if you look at the stage during, while Randy was in, in Ozzy, and I was there, it was two guys from Quiet Riot at each side of Ozzy.

two guys that have been a couple of years earlier tall that we were dinosaurs, that we were never going to make it by the Los Angeles record companies. And here we are playing with Ozzie. And Randy had already recorded these two amazing and composed records, Blizzard of Oz and Diary of Amendment.

Here we are. And I'm going like, yes. And of all the things, it's, you know, Randy and I, We came from basically the same environment. You know, I grew up in the Caribbean, grew up in South Florida, everything was the beach, sunny.

Same thing with Randy. It was all about living in L.A., sunny L.A. You know, you want to go to the beach, you just go down to the beach any month of the year. Whereas Ozzy was raised in the rubble of the Blitzkrieg. He was born like, you know, two or three years after World War II ended. And as a child, as a baby, he was going to these lots in his neighborhood that was just rubble

from all the bombs being dropped by the Nazis. You know, in Birmingham, an industrial setting, I mean, nowhere else could music like Black Sabbath originated. That was it. That was the soundtrack of the city of that time, Black Sabbath music. So, you know, you have like different consciousness. Ozzy, very dark. Then you have Randy, me, growing up in, you know, in sunny environments, you know, completely different. So once Randy was gone, it was all dark.

That's all I felt, darkness. Not that they are, you know, Ozzy, Sharon or Tommy, whoever, you know, that we happen to be traveling together. Now that they're bad people or dark people. But that was the spirit. This is where they came from. Not necessarily Tommy Because he came from

It was born in Texas And raised in art You know He lived in Arkansas When he was playing with With Black Oak and all that But but definitely Ozzy Ozzy

Very very gloomy Especially after Randy passed away Obviously You know You know it's crazy When I first contacted you A couple weeks ago It was to do a podcast about

Randy 40 years later remembering something and then fucking 10 days later maybe 5 days later Taylor dies I didn't call you for a few days

and I'll tell you why because Taylor's death reminded me a lot of Randy's there when I see Taylor Hawkins smiling that's the last motherfucker I thought was going to die ever ever him and

Twinkle Toes on the guitar they're always smiling they're the happiest people in the fucking world the guy that does the really good barbecue what's his name? Dave. Dave Grove does great barbecue. A lot of motherfuckers don't know that.

But, you know, Dave Grohl is the happiest fucking guy in the world. Would you like him or not? So when Doug, you know, when he died, I, for a couple days, I mean, and I didn't even come up a quiet, a foo fighter's tremendous fan. I'm just a fucking fan of them,

and I like what they do. But it felt like Randy. It felt a lot like Randy because it's the last thing I expected to hear. I expected to hear, you know, that Ronnie, whatever, died in jail. He's getting old. What's the fucking porno guy that's getting charged with 78 rapes? You know, I expected to, you know, somebody to break their leg. But I never saw Taylor Hawkins dying.

I saw Taylor Hawkins maybe having an accident and breaking his ankle like, you know, the singer from Guns and Roses. and he has to perform on a stilt of some shit. But I don't, I never, when I got, when I, listen, bro, when I walked out of that house on a Friday night, and I got in my buddy's car in April, and also he goes, you hear what happened? Randy Rhodes died.

I was done. I didn't know the man. I didn't need to know the man. But I was done for a few days. That added, that just woke up the pain that my mother left three years earlier when she died. That put me right back there again. And that's what happens when somebody dies. When somebody close to me dies, it wakes up a sleeping fucking giant for a few days.

The same thing happened with Taylor. You know, I could see if I was like a big tailor. I mean, I was a fan of his. I remember him with an Aunt Alanis Morissette, but he was the last guy, like Randy. What was Randy? 20 years old or something like that? The last fucking guys ago. 26.

He's a fucking baby guitar. He was about to take over the world with that fucking guitar or him and fucking Eddie were going to have a blast like Russia and Ukraine. They were just going to throw guitars at each other. They were just tremendous. And one day they just disappeared, and that was it. So when you talk about that, like the Taylor thing, I wanted to bring it up to you,

because that's what it felt like. And I know to you, it didn't feel like it. I'm not trying to, you know, I know you were tight with Taylor, and I know you're the type of guy that's very empathetic, but Randy was Randy to you. And Taylor's Taylor, but it's still a death. It should affect you. should have a reaction to it.

Absolutely. I posted immediately based on my experience with Taylor. I never saw him high. And we were in events where other people were high. You know, public events, part, you know, like events, you know, like celebration.

Like, you know, not just at people's home doing, I mean, you know, we went to a couple things. For example, one of them was Sebastian Bach. It throws a birthday party and there was a bunch people there and then there's tailoring. And he was some

sort of a disco theme and he's wearing disco clothes. And he's just like I don't even think I saw him drinking. You know, he's just hanging and I jammed with him. He had this side projects and never, I never saw him high.

High on anything. You know, so what I did see, was somebody that was incredibly driven. Every time I see his footage of him performing and doing his tribute to Freddie Mercury at Wembley Stadium, and all of that, I see, man, this man is very special.

Plus, I used to, I'm really good friends and I play with Sass Jordan. And Sass Jordan is who discovered Taylor playing in a club in Southern California. locally from this area. And then from Sass Jordan's band, I mean, you know, you guys can watch, you know, on YouTube, him playing with Sass Jordan.

And then that's when Sass took a break, as she tells me. And Alanis Morris said, who somehow they share some sort of either management or label or anything like that, she needed a band to promote her new record, Jag a Little Pill. And that's where Taylor joined the band.

Because they basically took Sass's band and they put it together. And it's easier to do that, you know. And so, yeah, I mean, she spent a lot of time with Taylor. And never, never, ever any conversation regarding addiction or, or drunk, you know, being an alcoholic or anything like that. Nothing, you know. So is quiet right going to put out and out? we're working on it we're working on it and I'm

it's coming along beautifully I am very very very pleased you know I mean I will be completely pleased once it's done because right now when you're in the process you really don't get to enjoy it as much as

once it's done once it's done it's like okay let me hear it now and it's like hearing it for the first time because you know you have to you have to wear one hat one hat is the creator and then the next hat is the spectator. You're watching this and you listen to it and you go wow

that's really cool and you're kind of like I can do this I don't know if everybody can do this but I can actually separate myself from my creative self to my spectator watching or listening to me perform and then I can be critical

about it. That's I'm fucking really happy for you Rudy you look great. I know that this a what do you call it a passion of a project of joy right what did you describe it to me a mission admission of joy you know what is you doing a lot of the writing you got other guys in the band oh yeah everybody contributes you know it's really a band band effort and you're all out in l.A no no we're not but we are mastering the technique of doing every thing up because you know we get together on when we when we tour and then when we create when we get

creative see when you're on tour you basically the way it's done now you know with the schedule you got to get up a four o'clock in the morning to be in the lobby to catch a flight you know and hold you and please pray to god that it that you don't get delayed or it or it doesn't get canceled so you can make it to the next gig you know so you're more focused on that not not necessarily on the creative aspect of it but more on the survival mode of survival in this experience so you can get to the next gig and do it all over again you know and so

once we come home I can actually put that creative hat on and I'm I'm very happy I'm very very pleased with the ways things are shaping up you're a fucking animal Rudy
