QUIET RIOT is back with a classic lineup & ready to write new music & tour in 2022.
Here’s the statement from the band:
QUIET RIOT is extremely excited to welcome legendary bassist and Metal Health line-up founding member RUDY SARZO back to the band after an 18-year absence. Rudy is looking forward to recording and touring with QUIET RIOT beginning in 2022.
The band 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 line-up composed of QUIET RIOT 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 QUIET RIOT, with Rudy Sarzo, recording the landmark “Metal Health” album, which has sold over ten million copies and spawned the hits “C*m On Feel The Noize” and “Metal Health”, and on the follow-up record “Condition Critical”. 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 Oyster Cult, Queensryche, 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.”
