Summary

Rudy Sarzo returns to relive one of the biggest honors of his career - performing at Back To The Beginning, the all-star tribute to Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne at Birmingham’s Villa Park. Rudy shares how Tom Morello recruited him for the show, what it was like playing nine songs alongside icons like Ronnie Wood, Steven Tyler, Travis Barker, Chad Smith, Nuno Bettencourt, and Papa Emeritus IV from Ghost, and the emotion of seeing Ozzy perform live one final time. He also takes it back to his earliest days with Ozzy and Randy Rhoads - sharing the wild story of his audition, getting gifted stage clothes straight from Ozzy’s closet, and touring the world as part of one of the most powerful rock lineups of all time. He has tales of Roquefort cheese pranks on-the-road chaos, lessons learned directly from Sharon Osbourne, and of course details about the tragedy of losing Randy Rhoads that changed everything, Talk Is Jericho is now available on YouTube!
