Originally posted by FORD Funny thing is though, I can't find any confirmation of this story, apart from blogs and less than credible tabloid sites like Metal Sludge and Blabbermouth. Hope it's not some fucking hoax.
Originally posted by DirtyDeeds I've been listening to a lot of Quiet Riot recently, and have been checking their sites a lot to see if they'd add tour dates. I wanted to see them so bad! Now I'll never get to.
Well, I know of a certain Red headed clown-looking fuck, who's available & already has a history of filling-in for the "REAL" thing!!
Back in 8th grade our school held a dance in honor of us going to high school. Metal Health must've played 40 times that night.
My favorite boy (he wouldn't ask me "out") loved Quiet Riot. They were his favorite band.
Still to this day when I hear Quiet Riot I think of that boy.
Dammit. I'm gonna miss that music. I didn't know how much it meant to me until now.

"Mental health" brings back lots of memories.... mostly positive!
"Favorite boy" probably now has a massive pair of hairy hooters with matching gut to rest 'em both on...
Every time I run into someone from back in the day, they're fat as fuck, looking old as fuck or just plain fucked!!
Amazing how well a small minority of us weather the storm... :D
Quiet Riot singer Kevin DuBrow died Sunday, drummer Frankie Banali confirmed in a post on his Web site. DuBrown was 52 years old and the official cause of his death has yet to be determined.
"I can't even find words to say," Banali wrote. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow."
DuBrow's body was discovered on Sunday inside the rocker's Las Vegas home. According to those close to the singer, DuBrow celebrated his birthday last month in New Orleans and seemed to be in good health. Quiet Riot bassist Kelly Garni has asked fans to be patient for details on the singer's death.
"I ask this to all of you not only for myself but for other friends and family," Garni wrote, in a message posted to a Web site honoring the memory of Quiet Riot founding member Randy Rhoads. "I ask that no one here offer any speculation or opinions, theories or other things that could be construed as negative or, and I'm sorry for this, even sympathetic, right at this immediate time. I am already, within hours of this, having to deal with untrue rumors and speculation and that only adds fuel to that. There is a tendency for the subject of Kevin to incite flames on every board, and now is not the time for that. I will explain to everyone here the facts and the truth in the next 24 to 48 hours as I realize this will affect us all. So please, until then, be patient. All details and other pertinent info will be passed on to you here when it becomes available to me."
Bill Chavis, owner of Chavis Records, the label that issued Quiet Riot's last LP, 2006's Rehab, also confirmed the news.
"DuBrow's body was found by friends on Sunday, November 25, in his Las Vegas home," reads the label's site. "As I mourn his death with a heavy heart, I will remember hearing his voice and the music for the very first time on the radio back in 1983. I will remember all the great music Kevin and Quiet Riot gave to so many of us over the years and I will say, 'Thank you, Kevin. May you rest in peace.' "
Credited with helping to launch the 1980s glam-metal scene, Quiet Riot are perhaps best known for their cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize," which appeared on 1983's Metal Health and eventually peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album was the first by a metal band to reach the chart's #1 position.
I just hope he didn't off himself !! We don't need another Brad Delp, I'm still pissed at him. Most likely fucking drugs. R.I.P. Kevin. I never thought much of Quiet Riot until I went to see them live, GREAT FUN SHOW !! just like rock & roll should be. 52 is way to young, how sad.

You're probably right.
Hell we were 13 and 14 at the time. What the heck would constitute "going out"? Holding hands at recess? LOL
And yes, it is amazing how some of us manage....vindicating somehow as well.

They played up here at a lodge a few years back...sold less than 30 tickets and by the time the show was over, there were less than 10 people left...but he kept up the performance like it was 20,000 strong. Pretty amazing when you consider that.
