Seems like a little man-crush going on there.

[TruckDriver]

There was a lot of faces I didn't recognize in the video, and I can think of at least 10 off the top of my head that are NOT on the video. Only black guy I knew was Jimmy Hendricks. I recognized one of the white guys with the beard, but can't place his name.


BTW - Lets' not get this thread locked

[bull]

I didn't know there were any Quiet Riot albums put out past, like, 1990 and that article says they released one in '06. They never really did anything worth hearing after the first album. Seems like they lost their voice after the first two songs on the first album and it got worse thereafter. "Cum On Feel the Noize" was a cover song by Slade and they did another Slade song "Mama Were All Crazee Now" which were more popular than most of their original stuff. I'm sure they some other Slade songs but I lost interest in them after the second album. They had all the ingredients for a memorable band but somehow the effort just didn't come together IMO.

That was a bummer to hear. Always liked QR. Brings back some fun teen memories of back in the day!  QR may very well be the first metal band to tip the industry on its ear and get mainstream radio play! That album was hot for many many months when it came out! MTV was in its beginning stages. Good times!

I agree with bull their 2nd lp was crap i only really know them for "cum on feel the noise" "mama were all crazee now"and "bang your head" it sucks that he's dead though. oh, and "scream and shout" wasnt bad iether.

[Mike DC]

 
Seems hard to believe that somebody like that was already 52 years old.  Time flies. 


Bands like QR absolutely defined youth & recklessness to me. 
It's just hard to get my mind around how much time has already gone by since their heyday.

  Sad really. Quiet Riot is one of my favorites.

I had no idea Slade did those tunes originally?

[69bronzeT5]

you didnt?!?!?!?!?!? I did

[hemihead]

So anybody find out the cause of death ? What is the big mystery ?

[BMOTOXSTAR]

you didnt?!?!?!?!?!? I did

How long has Slade been around? I know about Metal but never really knew of Slade, except for that LP, with the cover that had the guitar neck with a hand playing on it all neon looking, I had that record.

They formed in 1966 I believe. They released Cum on Feel the Noize in 1973.

  You said what I was thinking.

It's Kevin. He may not even show up for his funeral.

Speaking ill of the dead...anyone remember when he got caught  on stage drinking tea from a JD bottle?

(I'm sorry he's dead, yes I liked his music, yes Kevin was a dink who became famous for two things...playing in a band with RR and making money off of Slade songs)

RIP Kevin......... 

[nh_mopar_fan]

Silver lining? His mom gets the bedroom back.

[Brock Samson]

  that's pretty harsh...   

[nh_mopar_fan]

It's sad but true. He lived with mom off and on over the past few years to offset his rising debts.

The last QR CD sold 4000 copies.

[1FastCharger]

I watched one of those "top 100 80' metal songs" shows on VH1 a little while back. They credited Quiet Riot with starting Hair Metal. The song that started it all was "Cum on Feel the Noise." In an interview Kevin said that he did not want to do that song. It was a exec/producer something that had them record and release that song.

Police: QUIET RIOT's KEVIN DUBROW Died Six Days Before Being Discovered - Nov. 28, 2007 

ABC's Las Vegas affiliate KTNV-TV reports: Police say after a distressed call from family members, QUIET RIOT lead singer Kevin DuBrow's next door neighbor and friend kicked down the door to find the 52-year-old dead.

Police say DuBrow had been dead for about six days before his body was discovered.

Lori Lee Samson, DuBrow's fiancée, was the last person to see him alive.

She says when days passed, she new something was wrong.

Among the collection of memories, Lori Samson will forever save DuBrow's last words.

"At 2:40 am Monday he texted me I love you so much," Samson says.

His death has sent shockwaves to fans and family.

Samson says she will cherish the last moments spent with him and her son.

She never knew the man she met years ago was a legendary rock star.

Still rocking into his 50s, they celebrated DuBrow's birthday just two weeks ago.

Samson says DuBrow performed for charities, growing more humble with age.

At 52 years old, QUIET RIOT's vocalist finally found the one.

The couple was supposed to appear on A&E for a roast of Gene Simmons.

The coroner's office is now investigating the exact cause of death.

Samson says something fans never knew is that alcohol was not allowed backstage at their concerts.

This was in support of band members' struggle with sobriety.

[HITMAN 149]

mmmmmmmmmmmm
6 days is not a pretty smell!!!! 
i made a quiet riot mask in metal shop in jr high!! i had it hangin off of my shelf in my room... till who know's what happened to it?!?!?!
funny cause he sounds just like slade's lead singer.. singing cum on feel the noise.. just a lil faster tempo!?!??

[1FastCharger]

Definate similarities there between Slade and QR. I remember Slade as a 70s band, but I loved the song from the 80s Run Runaway.

JK 

[1FastCharger]

I was looking through some SLADE CDs. It seems QR used a few SLADE songs. Of course Cum on.....but also Mama we're all crazy now, Stomp your hands & Sign of the Times.

Todd

I have to agree completely...


We cruized to it. We drank to it. We s&%#&d to it. We played to it. We jammed it.. We even banged our heads....  Friday night at the River Boat with Harpo jamming the Quiet Riot and pounding down the hot wings....   Damn sure brings back some good times...  Never did see them live...

[TruckDriver]

They say he was dead 6 days before he was found. He was also engaged. Read it here...

http://www.knac.com/article.asp?ArticleID=5993

[1FastCharger]

Strange that Brap Delp (BOSTON) was also engaged when he was found dead. Seems that women will be the death of us all.


Brad Delp commited suicide with a charcoal grill in a sealed room. It is really sad because he has an amazing voice. I was always hoping for an "Original" line up reunion.

[TruckDriver]

Seems that women will be the death of us all.

My girlfriend hinted today that she wants to marry me too

Yeah, but are you an old rock star??

If not you have nothing to worry about.

JK 

oh no you didnt!!! 

[rav440]

oh no you didnt!!! 

like i said just kidding . RANDY was one of the best  we still have KIRK though 

[69bronzeT5]

Yup, in my opinion..Randy was the best. But thats just my own opinion. More of my faves include Slash, Zakk Wylde, Dimebag Darrell, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield and Brian May.




Btw, does anybody know Kevin's cause of death?

Well, I like to sing badly with some songs..... Does  that count
