I'm not the biggest Quiet Riot fan, but damn, sucks to see the guy go. I only saw him live once, in 2006, and he was on fire. Wearing the same leopard skin suit (that he said came with a free bowl of soup) and wig, but hey... And he was funny as hell too. It's always the good ones that go first.
I wish I had that privalige. But yeah, Kevin DuBrow is incredible. I really hope future generations acknowledge he's done a lot to redefine the genre as a whole.
wow, he was such a stage performer - i wish more vocalists would put that much effort in their stage performances. you can see that he really wants to rock the audience like no other. thanks again for uploading this video. kevin dubrow is already "immortalized" by his fans because we won't forget him \m/
well like randy said, they would not grow, Quet Riot understood tehre market was for kids, Randy wanted to grow, he knew he used to be a guitar teacher, Quet Riot where very In mature in many ways but pros as players.
Thank You so much for posting this.. I met Kevin on the Metal Health tour in '83, I was a sophmore in High School. Great guy, he will truly be missed..... I can hear Kevin and Randy jamming out right now in Rock and Roll Heaven!!!!
omg!! i just found out that he died today and i just saw them over the summer at antones in austin texas amazing show, and i even shook his hand as he went on stage!! thats so crazy it scares me to know that i shook such a legends hand and that he is now dead ; (
Definitely will miss them. Had the opportunity to see them for the first time in the early nineties at a club called The Rocket Club in Tampa. Small venue and omg did they rock. Saw them again a couple years ago and they didn't miss a beat. They will sorely be missed. :(
Kevin Dubrow, my generations Rod Stewart/Steve Marriott.You were a real deal musician. It is bittersweet that soo much of QR's newer music is now gonna be heard by fans and new fans due to your passing. QR is the real deal rock band....so many pussy new bands, hope they see this interview and learn. RIP Thunderbird.
Major bummer! I just found out watching VH1 like 2min ago, they didn't even interrupt the show to report it, just a small line at the bottom of the screen.
QR was my first hard Rock album when i was a kid. DuBrow and Rhoads together again. Ride on Slick Black Cadillac, ride on.

I am Black South African & spent 7 years in the early 80's as a political exile in the US. Hard rock/Heavy metal helped me deal with the anger & frustration of what was happening back home. QR & Kevin were the first show I ever saw at the age of 17 in 1984 in Cleveland. RIP Kevin. Your music helped a confused and scared kid find joy in a strange & foreign land. Fly Thunderbird, your work here is done:(
wow i'm fuckin shocked. i can't believe what happened. your legend will never die and you will ALWAYS be in the hearts of your fans! R.I.P. and rock the afterworld as you've rocked this world
My total respect for Kevin DuBrow... he sounded exactly as the record sounded almost 25 years ago, and no matter how much they joke about his late wigs and the pounds he has weight, the guy was a total class act. RIP
anybody else thinks kevin looked like david hess

amazing that rockers keep rockin man,
singing like he does must have been hard.
Running around on stage, drugs, etc...
I have no idea if he smoked, but still
just cool to see what a soul can do...
as well sounds like the album unlike all
of these bands nowadays that are studio
creations... r.i.p

QR was here in my country Argentina back in 1984 and the band rocks, was a wild show!
QR also had a magic tandem: Randy Rhoads and Rudy Sarzo in the early years.
I think Kevin was a very funny guy and a great singer and showman!
Kevin and QR never die!
