I met Rudy Sarzo when he played with Dio in Copenhagen in 2008. I asked him, "You've played with all the greats; Randy Rhoads, Tony MacAlpine, Carlos Cavazo, Viv Campbell, Adrian Vandenberg, Craig Goldy, Doug Aldrich, Yngwie Malmsteen. Who was your favorite guitarist to perform with?"
He answered immediately, "Randy Rhoads. Definitely Randy Rhoads. With Randy, it was all about the music. The music was first. Everything else; the fame, the money, the women... that all came after. Randy was a musician's musician."
I pressed, "What was it like playing for Yngwie Malmsteen?"
He shook his head and laughed, "We don't talk about Yngwie Malmsteen."
😆😅🤣, Like that Movie my Daughter watched, Encanto, "We Don't talk about Yngwie" 😂🤣😅😆
I worked with a producer who had worked with G N R, Metallica, Korn, Jeff Beck and the list goes on. Lot's of big egos and intense people, but the only person he truly didn't like at all was Yngwie. Said he was a complete prick 24 7.
Rudy bought my parents house in 88 or so when we moved from Ca back to Indiana. When Whitesnake came thru Indianapolis he called me and asked if I'd like tickets and backstage passes. He knew I was interested in music and wanted to be supportive of that. He was so nice and generous and genuine that it was truly amazing. So I got to go for free and have amazing seats and then be among the first people to be allowed backstage afterwards, to meet the band. Thank you, Rudy! I'll always remember your generosity!!!! I love your vids Rick! Thank you for putting the work in and making such high-quality stuff. Do a vid on chamber-jazz?
Rudy's always been a class act.
He supports animal rescue groups, too! It's so nice to see a successful, famous muso who is down-to-earth!
Wow... I live in south bend
Right on. : D
Rudy is a class act! You can hear the respect and love for Randy when he talks about him.
Rudy is a class act. He also was a pall bearer at Dolores Rhoads funeral. I’m happy to know him.
He was part of the best lineup Ozzy's ever had : )
Rudy is awesome. It's always exciting when legendary musicians share their experiences with us fans.
nice hat
Rudy is one of my favorite musicians. Such a great guy who found a way to make a living doing what he loves.
Rudy is one of the best! Really humble, knowledgeable, tons of great stories.
Thanks Rick!
One of the coolest interviews of any rock star I've seen. What a gracious intelligent cat. If he wasn't being interviewed by someone who gets it we wouldn't have been able to see inside his head like this.
Randy was such a genius. I love hearing more stories about him... they never fail to reinforce how much respect I have for him.
Wow! Rudy is cool as heck. He is 2-3 yrs older than me but we got to America the same way, by way of Cuba 🇨🇺... I was put up for adoption by Cuban mom and Irish dad, they also were escaping the Cuban Government. I was born late October in 1964. It shows up in my guitar playing, especially fingerpicking. It goes all Latin sometimes by accident! The Irish shows up in my fiddle playing. I know this is several years too late but thank you for making this video Mr. Rick!
Randy Rhoads forever
Yup!
..with Bob Daisley & Lee Kerslake! - The Blizzard Of Ozz Band
Recently watched some live Whitesnake with Rudy. You can hear his right hand articulation on the top end.
Nice and tight and groovin.
I have met Rudy. He's a great player, onstage presence, he's excellent. When I did meet him, it was when the Metal health lineup did their reunion tour. They all signed my Randy Rhoads book. When I talked to Rudy, I just said- I'm glad you're back in the band. He just gave me the big Rudy grin, and that was good enough. Rudy is a great player, and I have read his book quite a few times. He's a great, strong player.
Rudy is great. We could all learn from his attitude and approach to life and music.
Rudy in every interview is the nicest guy in the world. Very knowledgeable of music, very heartfelt about his journey and just an all around nice guy. I would love the chance to play drums with his monster bass playing.
I met Rudy's brother, Robert, on September 1,1987 at the Paradise Theatre in Boston, MA, when his band Hurricane was opening for Gary Moore. He, and the other band members, were some of the nicest people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. We spoke about Rudy, Carlos Cavazo, his brother Tony played bass in Hurricane. Robert showed me some cool classical guitar stuff and we discussed gear, family and funny stuff that happens on the road. It was an incredible night, I got to meet Gary Moore and his band as well. Such awesome memories.
Another incredible interview. Can't believe I am in the same classroom learning with Rudy Sarzo. You are too!
Rudy Sarzo is a great bassist and a nice person full of knowledge as well.
Such a cool interview ! I loved Rudy in Whitesnake !
Just fantastic. So inspiring to hear musicians who are still driven yet humble.
I’m shocked there are only 102 comments! Rudy is a LEGEND! This interview was amazing!
I've always loved Rudy! He just emits authentic positive energy, and certainly seems like one of the nicest guys in music!
Great interview. Rudy's enthusiasm really comes through and you seem to really enjoy it, too. Thanks!
What an absolute GEM of An Interview!...Way to go Rick...Rudy is one of my all-time favs and he didn't disappoint...Awesome Guy...the stories and knowledge are priceless! I can't believe I missed this on your site...But really glad it just happened to pop up in my feed!
3 years ago? how did I not come across this sooner? Really great interview!
Rudy is one classy person. You too gel perfectly. Thanks again Rick for bringing on one of my bass hero’s. Viva La Sarzo.
Rudy rocks!
I fucking love this man. Rudy seems like such a nice guy! Lol
What a great connection and respect between Rick and Rudy here. Great interview.
This was such an excellent interview! I really enjoyed it . I’ve read Rudy’s book Off The Rails and he’s truly one of rock n rolls greatest .
Saw him with Quiet Riot in concert in 83, and he had the most charisma in the band. So when I saw him in White Snake I was paying attention to him again as the cool one.
Great to see Rudy he brings back so many memories. It's good for the youngsters to hear the truth about doors open doors closed in regard to trust.
I saw Rudy with Ozzy in 1980 at the Orpheum in Boston with Randy. I was the oldest guy in there at the time at 29. I felt so out of place, but I grew up on Sabbath and was loyal to Ozzy in some weird way and had to see how he was surviving after Sabbath. Rudy had a great sound and I loved how he struck a lot of his notes on the upbeat instead of the downbeat. Ozzy was sloshed on stage and still drinking. They almost had to carry him off the stage at the end. I couldn't hear for a couple days after that concert. Randy did a 20m guitar solo that was screeching loud. I think I lost a few cilia in my inner ear that night, but fuck it, it was all worth it. That was the last time I ever saw Ozzy again. Thank you Rick for having Rudy on, really enjoyed how Rudy still has a passion for learning. That is key to keeping your mind sharp when you get our age. Chhers, Rick. Love ya.
This was great! Rudy is too cool for school.
Rick, you just are amazing - another incredible interview with a true giant in hard rock/metal. Rudy Sarzo was and is a monster player and musician - so great to get a chance to hear him speak extensively in your channel's format.
Incredible, Rick and THANKS AGAIN! Absolutely can't wait for Satch... ;) :D
Rudy rules, such a genuine soul
This has to be your most under-viewed video. Great conversation covering so much. I love that he’s a fan too!
I love Rudy he is a really nice guy down to earth amazing performer bassist. Read his book!!!
That was a great interview.I also agree with Rudy being on the road since I was 8 years old traveling with a show business parents all over the world none stop for 50 years.I have so much of the same experiences with Rudy living,working in Miami in the early 60's,then moving to L.A. in the 70's....Rick watching you videos really is a blessing .It's nice that you have such of a variety of motifs in your lessons...
Wow, what a great interview!
Thanks so much for all your hard work Rick... rock on....
Great interview. Rudy is so real it's unreal and I love my TC too!
Fantastic interview. lots of great information! RR forever!
Great to hear from a legend like Rudy , too bad Randy is not around anymore ! RIP Eddie . Kevin !
Rudy is my Bass hero. #1 in my book, especially because I met him, more than once, and now play bass guitar at age 54.
Great interview and testimonials to both music geniuses! This series is awesome!
Another great interview, very cool that Rudy is a big fan of you!
Great interview sir! thank you!
Thank you for sharing this interview.
your videos are amazing. thank you!
Great interview. It's cool to hear that even legends watch and learn from your channel.
Rudy is such a great guy.
A pleasure to watch. Thanks Rudy for speaking about Randy. I hung on every word. When I started guitar in 86, it was, and remains, RR. Rick Beato comes along and expands or defines these Diary style imaginations. Thanks Rick, completionism rules. You're ate up, in a good way. Double thanks. This is a uniquely good video. Just wow, really. -Jim
That was one of the coolest videos i have seen! Rudy has always been an inspiration to me ever since i heard and saw him for the first time!! I will always admire who he is and what he does! Thank you so very much for that video!! My day is made!!
Totally agree with Rudy, Rick. You're a great teacher! Thanks for the amazing content
as of today ...THIS PIECE OF VIDEO has to be the most interesting ive seen in my 10 yrs of youtubing. And Rudy is sooo correct about watching you Rick. You are amazing and passionate about your work, music, and message that you deliver so naturally. Rock on 🤘🤠🤘
This interview was Great. Thx Rick.
CZcams hiding the good stuff again...ugghhh..This is phenomenal, Rudy is a great player/person ...a great interview this was!
This was great! Love the channel and this series. Such great stories from Rudy. And, Randy was one of my guitar heroes that made me want to learn how to play the guitar.
Lovely interview, Rick. Thank you.
what an awesome interview!!!how did i miss this for so long awesome job Rick..
Rick, What a Great interview. Rudy has played in all the bands I grew up with. What a wonderful guy..
Hi Rick, I think you should start a new video series based upon what you did about Chris Cornell and Soundgarden (sad circumstance aside, naturally). I mean a series when you get to discuss in depth a certain band or artist, analyzing the music, the composition, and maybe throw in some anedocte here and there. It would be awesome. It's a pleasure to hear your analysis and get to know an artist through the lenses of a guy like you.
What a great interview 👍
Great conversation. I've heard of Rudy from decades ago. You really didn't hear a lot about bassists. Like he said, it was all about a big name guitar player. When you heard that Rudy was in a band, you knew it was a serious heavy metal rock band. So much energy and full of life. Learned a lot. Thank you both for your time. I going to search for more Rudy right now and then back to Everything Music!!!! I'm learning from the same guy as RUDY SARZO🤣 I LOVE IT
Amazing 👏
Wow, I recently finished Rudy's book Off The Rails and wasn't expecting to learn anything new here, but what a great, illuminating chat! Thoroughly enjoyed this (and all your vids).
RICK, PLEASE DO A RANDY RHOADS VIDEO!!!! I don’t know would be killer!
That was a really cool interview/ conversation. The topics bring back memories of better days. Take care, both of you and keep up the good work.
This video is so underrated
Rudy Sarzo is a legendary hard rock/heavy metal bass player! Just to put you guys in context he's almost as legendary as his bass lines...
Wow! Such a great interview.
Excellent, interview.
love you both..!! I echo Rudy that Rick's site is good as an ALL AROUND musical touchstone.
Rick, great interview, man.
Great interview!
Can totally relate with Rudy talking about being on standby with his musical learning pursuit. Thanks Rick for re-igniting a new passion and excitement about music!
Randy would have loved Rick Beato
Hey Rick, talking about the coexistence of fusion and rock in the 70s brought up an idea: try to get Jeff Beck on! That would be phenomenal (by the way, great episode as always, thanks so much for doing these!)
Hey Rudy .. good friend indeed! Thanks Rick , interesting show my friend!
Only 18K views...what a beautiful secret here.
He looks great for 70, wow.
Ahh yes I cant get enough of randy rhoads. He was such a genius
Rudy was one of my first influence's when it came to bass. I got a huge kick about how he became a bass player because of that's what THEY needed! Can so relate to that! lol So glad you did Rudy! Still have the Peavey mag "Monitor" issue with him back in the "80"s. My first pro bass I had was a Peavey T-40. Man do I wish I still had that heavy MFer but there are a few basses I wish I still had and some I didn't!
Great interview Rick! Always look forward to your new vids and catching up on some of your older ones. Always good stuff!
I was lucky to see Rudy play with Blue Oyster Cult! Another great interview!!
Rudy is the real deal. Cool to hear him mention Will Lee!!
The names of players Rudy is dropping shows that he is a true student of his instrument and music and is truly well rounded and listens to a variety of music, not just metal and rock. I like this guy
What an awesome dude
Used to see Rudy back at the Starwood in 79!
This was so cool. I grew up with those Ozzy records.
Excellent!!!
great bass playerm ive never seen a musician with better time, alot of musicians have almost metronomic time
but rudys time is a actually shockingly metronomic
great video!
Such a great guy.
a Living Legend
His bass playing on “Speak Of The Devil” is absolutely outstanding!
Being an awesome Learnede Musician in your own right Rick !! wow What an amazing interview with Rudy Sarzo, always liked watching Rudy play, unfortunately this post is long after your interview because i wasnt subscribed to you until almost a year ago because of another podcast i was sub'd to Ward Carroll, however i got this in t=my lists on youtube because of watching possibly the only R Rhodes sound check in Beumont Tx, it be curious if Rudy might have picked up Geddy Lees Big Beautiful Book of Bass because Rudy and Geddy both exhibit a zeal of wanting to know all about the instrument, i am so glad i ran across this interview
Rudy is a class act, good dude.
Oh man, this was inspiring! Maybe in a next interview he could talk more about Whitesnake and Dio. Love Ozzy and Randy though!
Great interview Rick! You mentioned once that you had done work with Trey Anastasio. Do you think there is a chance of maybe getting him on the show sometime in the future? I was a huge Phish fan back in the old days and it would really be interesting to here how he approached composing some of the early composed pieces that Phish played.
