Frankie Banali,drummer of Quiet Riot,has confirmed news reports that Kevin Dubrow was found dead yesterday in his Las Vegas home of as of yet unknown causes.The band has not made an official statement but bassist Kelly Garni personally appealed to fans via internet to keep their cool and not fuel any rumors at this time and that he will personally relay any information made available to the band to them when he has it.
I went to see them on the "Rock never Stops" Tour in the summer of 2005,and I was most impressed with their set.My husband & his brother(my brother in law goes to at least 2 or 3 rock concerts a week!)once met them in a club in Baltimore after they performed there and got to drink a beer with the band and said they were just like everyday guys.
The band had its share of ups and downs over the years,and Kevin Dubrow was notorious for just saying whatever he wanted about anything,but despite whatever his demons were,he was a hell of showman!I can still remember the first time I heard"Metal Health" to this day,wore the cassette clean out too-QR was right up there with Poison & Motley Crue as the must-have for the 80's aspiring teen metal chicks music collection.

Wow and so close to Dimebag Darrell's death (Dec 8). Another metal act that if you didn't see them, you can't now. Sad news indeed. Got to go send some texts to the boys...
