So he didn’t have another thing coming?

Wasn't that Judas Priest?

I think they started it all for me and Heavy Metal as a teenager. RIP.

I was only a little kid when Quiet Riot’s biggest hit, Cum On Feel The Noise, hit the airwaves. It wasn’t until many years later that I found out that Quiet Riot didn’t actually pen the song, but instead covered Slade who performed the original.

IMO, Quiet Riot’s version sucked in comparison to the original version by Slade. Notwithstanding, I offer heartfelt condolences to Kevin's family.

Damn. I knew that was wrong and did it anyway. JP is correct.

Saw them perform in a local club couple years ago. Why he was still able at his age to outshout anybody in the room, and in key, is one of those mysteries.

According to my recollection, and confirmed by Wikipedia, Quiet Riot was originally formed by Randy Rhoads.

Yes, that is correct. The article I posted had a misspelling and an inaccuracy, but it was the first “death of DuBrow” article I could find that was posteable and not just a blog entry.

No harm, no foul. No disrespect intended, but I always chuckled at Dubrow’s attempts to mask his hair loss. He often looked like he was wearing one of those hats with a hippie wig attached to it.

That was bad, probably worse than Bret Michaels and his bandana.

He and Brett, along with Scott Ian and Rob Halford, could start a new genre and call it “Pate Metal”.

Well, the rest of those guys could form in Kevin's honor, I guess.

Sad news. But it’s nice how the band all still love each other after so many years. Hope he didn’t suffer or was the victim of a crime.

Bang your head!

His wig was the worst!!

What made it even worse still was that his hair was thinning when Metal Health came out and then 20 years later he has this big curly wig on. What was he thinking.?? LOL! Rockers who go bald MUST shave their heads!! At least Scott Ian and Alex Mitchell (Circus Of Power) have enough sense to do that.

Anyway, RIP Kevin
