The first official promotional photo of the new lineup of QUIET RIOT, featuring returning bassist Rudy Sarzo, was revealed today.
Rudy is returning to QUIET RIOT after an 18 year absence, originally appearing as part of the legendary “Metal Health” lineup, touring with the band until 1985 and again from 1997 to 2003. While Rudy was out of the band he played with such notable acts as OZZY OSBOURNE, WHITESNAKE, DIO, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT, QUEENSRŸCHE and THE GUESS WHO.
Longtime QUIET RIOT bassist Chuck Wright is graciously stepping aside to continue his recent solo efforts while heightening his role with his award-winning residency show “Ultimate Jam Night” at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go which all the members of QUIET RIOT fully support.
QUIET RIOT and their management would like to formally thank Chuck Wright for his many years of dedication and perseverance and, most importantly, his distinguished talent. Wright has served off and on with QUIET RIOT for nearly 40 years, appears on nine albums, and is known as the bassist for QUIET RIOT’s mega-hit “Metal Health” (Bang Your Head) and “Don’t Wanna Let You Go”. He was a contributing songwriter on 1986’s “QRIII” and appeared in the band’s video for “The Wild And The Young”, among others. Wright has been one of the band’s longest touring and recording members and will continue touring with the band through the end of 2021. Chuck is and will always be an invaluable member of the QUIET RIOT family.
