Mr. Frankie Banali, I'm going to have to ask you to put the fine man DOWN, and CONTROL YOURSELF! I've never even seen MR. ROTH lose control like this 😭💅🏽✨️
I don't know anything about Frankie, but look at that smile ♥️ I'm glad to see him living his best life ♥️. The citizens of Alexanderopolis in a nutshell ♥️

Tuesday, August 9: Blackthorne, “Twist the Blade”
R.I.P. Frankie Banali (1951-2020), Bob Kulick (1950-2020)
Don’t Kill the Thrill sat on the shelf for over 20 years before seeing the light of day in 2016, long after anyone remembered a thing about Blackthorne, including its own members: Afterlife hadn’t caught anyone’s attention, and for the most part anyone listening saw it as just a thing Graham Bonnet, Bob Kulick and Frankie Banali did one time. But that long-unreleased second Blackthorne album had its moments, with “Twist the Blade” being a surprisingly spry and kickass metal rager. Banali’s drumming was steady and purposeful, but Kulick rarely roared like this in his session work, even with Kiss, and Bonnet’s vocals were similarly focused and intense in a way that nobody expected from the often aimless singer. Again, nobody cared about Blackthorne the first time around, and the sudden random appearance of a second album wasn’t going to draw out much from anybody, not even Bonnet. But “Twist the Blade” was nonetheless a ripping banger that for a brief moment caught the attention of those who bothered.

Rudy Sarzo of Quiet Riot Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson
I got to sit down again with bassist extraordinaire, Rudy Sarzo... Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, The Guess Who, Blue Oyster Cult - who's also a modern-day humanist, animal rights activist, author, mentor, CG artist, and an evolved, spiritual, gentle soul. And what a time it was!
Originally from Cuba, we talked Rudy's early days, his family's struggle to get here, and the struggles they continued to face when they arrived. Barely speaking the language, work shortages, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Kennedy Assassination, to the shining light of the Beatles, which shifted almost everything.
Rudy's foray into music... Kevin Dubrow, the original Quiet Riot, a partial cover band at the time doing some originals, Ozzy Osbourne, the fame, booze, and the crazy, Randy Rhoads, who opened the doors, filled the world with magic and then took the joy when he left way too soon, Frankie Banali, more Quiet Riot, Metal Health, Whitesnake, the girls, more fame, Blue Oyster Cult, The Guess Who, now joyfully back with Quiet Riot with bandmates handpicked by the originals.
We talked Rudy's marriage, it'll be 40 years this June, a herculean accomplishment for anyone, for a rocker on the road, stunningly amazing! This is a man who honors his commitments. All of them. Sober 26 years, he found program and solutions during the pandemic and finds himself a changed man in so many ways. And this, a changed world.
Rudy is deep and we went deep about music, healing, the communal experience... I feel richer, calmer, saner, and more centered having spent time in his grounded and assured presence. He's not only a monster bass player of the highest caliber, he's also a highly evolved human of a most admirable order. I feel like I just spent an hour plus with a Zen master and I'm somehow better for it. What a gift he is.
