Me_2006 14 Posted November 27, 2007 Quick explanation of who this guy is? I've been watching this thread all day waiting for an explanation, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm guessing Quiet Riot but I'd like a little more on the dude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me_2006 14 Posted November 27, 2007 Lead singer of Quiet Riot. "Cumm On Feel the Noize" "Momma we're all crazy now" singer. Gotcha. Didn't know if he was the lead singer or lyricist or what. I assumed the Come On Feel the Noise reference meant he was affiliated with Quiet Riot, but just hadn't really ever heard of the guy. Shame he's dead though. I didn't check the link, anyone know what happened? I wouldn't think he was very old.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TommyGavin 790 Posted November 27, 2007 some Quotes: Frankie Banali: "I can't even find words to say. Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend Kevin DuBrow." Friend and fellow vocal legend Glenn Hughes comments to MelodicRock.com: "We are all grieving...Kevin and I were brothers....We spoke daily, and I mean on the phone, not email.....the Kevin that I knew was a beautiful human being.... He was kind, giving, nurturing.... And generous..... He would stay @ my LA home when he was in town.... I never saw Kevin Loaded... He respected my sobriety... He always spoke how about the change of my lifestyle, and how he also wanted to change his.....the last conversation I had with him 10 days ago, was about this subject, he said he had to make some life changes.... I was so happy and elated to hear this.... Gabi and I spoke to him last on Fri, the 16th of Nov.... He wanted to know if I could pick him up @ LAX. On the 23rd, the day of a Party @ my house.....then , there was nothing, no communication..... Zero.... Come thanksgiving I knew something was strange.... @ the house, Kevin's room was prepared as always, with his fave Candies next to the bed.... He always requests them when he stays.... I thought, he's gonna come jumping thru the door any minute and Demand to play the winner of the Pool game between Chad Smith and myself..... As the Party ended, Gabi and I spoke of his absence... She was very upset..... All along, I felt something seriously wrong.... Come Sunday Morning , I couldn't take it anymore. And called Lark Williams. Kevs ex-girlfriend. She was in San Francisco.. I asked her if she knew a paramedic who could go over to Kevs house and investigate..... Dana, the Medic, got in the house only to find my sweet brother......@ peace..... I am completely shell shocked... We were planning to go 2 Hawaii for some relaxation in the new year...... For those of you that didn't know him..... He was a true, true friend.... l'm gonna miss our dinners @ the Palm in Beverly hills.....I'm gonna miss his loud voice bellowing thru my house... I'm gonna miss those oh so corny jokes.... We all will miss him.....sleep well brother.. your legacy is in good hands with me..... Your loving brother Glenn xxx." QR bassist Chuck Wright comments to MelodicRock.com: "I'm completely shocked and devastated. I've truly lost a brother and it's a very sad loss for the world of rock n' roll. I'm so very fortunate to have been a part of his life these past 26 years. I have so many fond memories and it's a blessing that these recent few years have been so great with the band. There is no reason to say "I wish we could have ...we did!" I still can't believe I won't be sharing the stage with his larger than life presence ever again. The man left a mark wherever he went and I'm heartbroken that he is no longer with us. Blessings, Chuck." Original QR bassist Kelly Garni: "I ask this to all of you not only for myself but for other friends and family. 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 effect 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. Thank you." Phil Ashcoft (Fireworks Magazine): "I saw Quiet Riot this past summer at the Sweden Rock Festival, the first time I'd seen them since around '84/85, and Kevin still had all the energy and exactly the same powerful voice he had back then. He covered every inch of the massive stage and really got the crowd involved. Back when the likes of Motley Crue and the other LA hopefuls were tentatively knocking on the door to stardom, Quiet Riot came along and smashed it down, along with the final bit of resistance the mainstream media and MTV had against metal bands. I guess you could argue that if it hadn't been them then the time was right and someone else would have done it, but the point is that it wasn't someone else. I don't think they ever got the full recognition for that. Kevin had a knack of rubbing people up the wrong way and other bands and critics were the main targets for his 'alligator' mouth, but he always treated the fans who put him where he was with respect and a friendly smile. My thoughts are with his family, as well as with Frankie, Chuck and Alex. R.I.P." MelodicRock.com Statement: "The rock n roll world mourns the loss of one of the great frontmen of the metal era and the face of a movement that to this day retains its passionate and dedicated fans. Unlike any other form of music on this planet, metal is a brotherhood and in the death of Kevin DuBrow, we have lost one of the most recognizable, charismatic and outspoken leaders of the fraternity. My personal regards and condolences go to Frankie, Chuck, Kelly, Glenn and other members past and present of the extended Quiet Riot family. Kevin's death is unfair and well before his time. R.I.P Kevin." Here is how Kevin's passing is being reported around the world (CNN) -- Kevin DuBrow, the lead singer of the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has died, CNN has confirmed. He was 52. Kevin DuBrow and Quiet Riot hit No. 1 with Metal Health in 1983. DuBrow died at his home in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to TMZ.com. The Clark County coroner's office was examining the body to determine the cause of death, according to TMZ. "I'm at a loss for words. I've just lost my best friend," Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali told CNN. "Out of respect for both Kevin and his family, I won't comment further. There's going to be a lot of speculation out there, and I won't add to that. I love him too much." Quiet Riot hit the top of the charts with its 1983 album, "Metal Health," considered by some sources as the first heavy metal album to hit No. 1. The album was driven by the group's cover of Slade's "###### on Feel the Noize," which hit the Top 40. The band's other hits included "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)" and another Slade cover, "Mama Weer All Crazee Now." The band formed in the mid-1970s behind DuBrow and guitarist Randy Rhoads, who later joined Ozzy Osbourne's band and died in a tour accident. After several years, during which time the band disbanded, regrouped and built an audience, everything came together for "Metal Health," which put Quiet Riot in the vanguard of the Los Angeles heavy metal movement. But the band's rushed follow-up, Condition Critical, didn't do as well, and DuBrow started taking shots at other L.A. bands, such as Motley Crue and Ratt, according to Allmusic.com. Within a few years, the band had mutinied (leaving DuBrow at a hotel in Hawaii while other members returned to California, Allmusic's Eduardo Rivadavia observes) and taken on a new lead singer. The bad blood prompted a lawsuit from DuBrow. By the 1990s tempers had calmed and the band got together again, putting out a live album in 1999 and a new studio set, Guilty Pleasures, in 2001.
