41 years ago 3/19/82. I lost my band brother and mentor, Randy Rhoads. It never gets easier living with his loss but I’m grateful that I have his unparalleled musical integrity to continuously inspire and guide me through each day. Fly on Thunderbird and God bless you.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of a true American Icon, Dusty Hill. I’ll never forget watching him perform every night when Quiet Riot toured with ZZ Top in 1983. A true Pro and a Gentleman. Rock In Peace, Dusty.

As DIO’s last bass player, I was blessed beyond words to have felt the power and kindness of the mighty Ronnie James Dio who left this realm May 16, 2010, 12 years ago today. Rest In Peace my friend 🙏🏻🎸❤️🙏🏻

During early Quiet Riot days Randy and I playing in a club stage the size of a postage stamp. But we gave it all as we did playing the big stages with Ozzy. Always play like there’s no tomorrow 🙏🏻🎸🙏🏻

This was the first official Ozzy Osbourne Band photo session. Prior to being in the band I was a starving musician. Ozzy was incredibly kind and gave me many of his clothes one of them being the black leather jacket. His kindness never stopped while in the band. Thanks Ozzy!!!
Today August 20, 2022 marks 2 years that my mentor and Quiet Riot brother left us. A minute of the day doesn’t go by without thinking of him and feeling blessed that he was in my life for nearly 50 years. Until we meet again Brother Frankie, May you Rest In Peace. Max 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Today marks 10 years since we lost Ronnie Janes Dio. Losing his exemplary humanity and musical talent has left an irreplaceable void in my life. May you Rest In Peace in the Presence of the Lord my friend. 🙏🏻🎸❤️🙏🏻

Oh nooooo, sad to hear this, Frankie! Sending you all the white light, prayers and strength you need to beat this. I’m sad. 😓💔😓💔😓🙏🏼
@FrankieBanali
Feels great to be back in Puerto Rico.
@QUIETRIOT
first played here 40 years ago an unforgettable headline show shortly after Metal Health hit
#1
spot on Billboard. As I reminisce, The breeze blowing through my hair takes me back to my childhood in Cuba. 🙏🏼🇨🇺 🎸🇵🇷 🙏🏼
I had the life changing experience of visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem during the 2005 DIO tour. While I was praying at the place where Jesus was crucified, unbeknownst to me, a crew member took this photo. Wishing everyone a blessed Easter 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
My dear friend
@Mrjimflorentine
took this photo in 1981. I’ve known him for decades but I just became aware that it was him who took it. Wonderful memories. God bless you, Jim🙏🏻🎸❤️🙏🏻
I took this picture as a kid at a meet and greet for
@OzzyOsbourne
’s solo band. The late great Randy Rhoads posed for for me.
@rudysarzo
and Tommy Aldridge also in the picture.
I’m eternally grateful to my brothers in
@markslaughter33
band for dedicating Fly to the Angels to our beloved Mom at last night’s St John’s, Newfoundland concert 🙏🏻 Mark, Dana, Blando and Jordan, God bless you all 🙏🏻❤️🎸🙏🏻
John, thanks for your concern. I’m 26 years sober. Never smoked. Follow a sensible diet, take a multitude of supplements. I get yearly physicals, meditate and constantly keep my Christian spiritual center in check. Married for 40 years. Yoga and gym 5 days a week 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
@rudysarzo
Are you working hard and in good health, Rudy? Age makes the years of performing so much more painful. Adrenaline, medications, alcohol, & the like just mask the pain. Exercise & working out help, but any P or Jazz Bass get heavy on stage. 2 short scales & a microbass go with me.
I don’t consider myself a celebrity, I leave that to the Kardashians. I’m just a Guy that’s blessed to play some songs from town to town that makes Headbangers happy 🙏🏻🎸🙏🏻
@rudysarzo
@Delta
@QUIETRIOT
Rudy is one of the friendliest guys in rock.
However, a good call on your part to let him be.
Airports are not a place to bother celebs. Like anyone else, waiting for luggage and changing planes etc sucks for them too. Last thing you need is gushing fans.
Thank You
@RockHall
Voters & Fans for this induction. My solo career, has been a much larger part of my overall music career as a whole, so this feels more special. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.
It’s such a blessing to have my Mom living with us specially as my family celebrates today 9/1/2022, 61 years since we left Communist Cuba for the Land of the Free in 1961.
I wish to thank everyone who made today’s Costco meet and greet so unforgettable. Special thanks to Leonor, The oatmeal sample lady, for your generous portions 🤘🏼👴🏻🤘🏼
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning, All…& What A FIIIIIINE Morning It Is For Some Good News!!!…Boy…Do We Have a Delicious Surprise For YOU!!!…Meet Our New Bass Player!
