The type of music he grew up with, why he choose the guitar (Great answer!), how he learned to play and on what type of guitar! Learn how the early garage bands shaped him to who he is.

Rudy tells when it went from rock to metal or was it always metal? There are musicians and professional musicians, but what does it take to be a pro, who awes Rudy these days, and what are the challenges of touring the world. Guarantee you will not guess this answer! How many times was Rudy with Quiet Riot? How do you learn the songs when you join a legacy band such as Ozzy or Whitesnake? Learn about sperm mode….

What did Rudy learn from Randy Rhodes as well what he did for him? Did Rudy really go from sleeping on a floor to living with Ozzy & Sharon Osbourne? If the joy of playing was lost after the death of Randy Rhodes and if so, how did he get it back? Really good segment here. What being inducted into the Hall of Heavy Metal History meant, how he wants to be remembered if he ever stops playing, and his current projects for 2021.
