The death last month of Kevin Dubrow, lead singer for the 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been ruled an accidental cocaine overdose.

That's less surprising than, well, anything, ever.

"Cum on Feel the Noize."

That was one of the first rock songs I remember hearing when I was a kid.

I don’t know how much gas I burned back then, riding around with “Bang Your Head” blaring from the speakers in my 72 Cutlass.

Dang he needed to get with the prog. Jimmy Page, Robert Plant performed last night and all I can say is it was all due to the fact that cocaine is out and herbal tea is in :-).

I used to take way too massive bong hits to this song . . . lol. Of course it all ended with me in rehab at 18 and getting sober officially at 21. Thank God. This guy is 52. Glad I have God. That just seems like a long life wasted. Wonder how many kids he had.

I never much cared for the band, but I hope the man rests in peace. I am surprised, however, that if he never changed from the 80s, that it took this long for him to kill himself.

For comparison:

" In their heyday they were the lords of excess - with vodka for breakfast and champagne for supper fuelling a 24-hour party habit. Yesterday, however, it was clear that Led Zeppelin had come down to Earth after a very long high. [...] The band - reformed for the first time in 19 years - requested little more than a constant flow of caffeine-free herbal tea and sparkling water for their backstage dressing room. Concert promoter Harvey Goldsmith said: "They are much older now obviously and are very low maintenance. They've asked for cups of tea. We'll have some beer and a bottle of wine for them backstage but they have said they require very little. "

Whole lotta herb tea of Led Zeppelin's stairlift to heaven

I understand that you enjoy doing Political Satire lyrics to music.

If this guy/group was one of your musical insperations my heart feels for you.

Be Well.

I doubted it was from staying too late at the office.

Quiet Riot made it big covering Slade songs. Randy Rhoades used to be their lead guitarist before leaving and pairing up with Ozzie Osborne.
