The current lineup—featuring the legendary Rudy Sarzo on bass, Alex Grossi on guitar, Jizzy Pearl on vocals, and Johnny Kelly on drums—ensures that the band remains rooted in its classic sound while appealing to new generations of headbangers. Sarzo's return not only links the current lineup to the historic “Metal Health” era but also breathes fresh life into the band’s ongoing legacy.
As the tour approaches, it promises to be a thrilling ride through the annals of hard rock history. For those who lived through the golden age, it’s a chance to relive the magic that defined their youth. For newer fans, it's an opportunity to witness a band that played a crucial role in bringing metal to the masses.
