In this clip from The David Ellefson Show, Rudy Sarzo shares a wild story from his time with Ozzy Osbourne, including the infamous moment Ozzy bit the head off a bat on stage. Rudy recalls the aftermath, Ozzy having to get painful rabies shots and the chaos that followed. He talks about keeping his distance from Ozzy during shows out of fear for his own safety. Especially in Texas, tensions were high after the Alamo incident, and Rudy jokes that he didn’t want to catch a stray bullet meant for Ozzy.
