WOW! I just saw Rudy over the summer with Blue Oytser Cult, I didn't know that he was playing w/ BOC, so I said to my son "that guy is totally copping Rudy Sarzo, bass and all". After listening more, it sounded exactly like Rudy....hmmm... Turns out it WAS him!! He looked so young that I really thought it was someone else! AWESOME player indeed (and a super cool guy)

I saw them too this past summer. I knew going in he was playing with BOC. He does look great. I was thinking mid-50s not 60!

I met him when I worked at a store in San Diego when he was showing off his signature bass... Great hair. Nice enough guy, but *great* hair.

I really enjoyed his book about his time with Ozzy/Randy Rhoads. Definitely seems like a down to earth, cool kinda guy, and he's had an enviable career in the biz for sure.

He is perhaps the only guy that ever licked a bass neck.
