Kevin Dubrow Tribute

A tribute to Quiet Riot's Lead Singer Kevin Dubrow.

"The passing of Kevin DuBrow hits us particularly hard. You've all heard the saying, 'There by the grace of God go I.' Well, it's never been truer than now.

"The metal community has lost a powerful voice and a great frontman, but let it never be said that Kevin DuBrow did not leave his mark. You kicked our asses, Kevin, you really did."
- Dee Snider

"He was a loud and proud soulful rock 'n roller who loved the British Invasion, quoting Stevie Marriot and yours truly as his favorite singers. "I will miss him more than anyone will know. He was a big part of my life. He was childlike, he was sweet, kind.....and he loved life. I will miss having dinner with him at the Palm in Beverly Hills. I will miss his big booming voice bellowing through my house. I will miss the corny jokes he had by the dozens. I will miss talking to him on a daily basis.
- Glenn Hughes

"Kevin was a beautiful soul, and I feel more than fortunate to have known, worked and learned from him. Kevin was always a positive influence in what sometimes can be a very negative business. I am proud to have called him my friend, and always will be. [He] was a true lover of music and was extremely dedicated to his craft. I am honored to have been part of a band that changed the face of hard rock forever and to have been given the opportunity to play, write, and most importantly, be part of his life. He will be forever missed."
-Alex Grossi

"To me, Kevin was my brother for 35 years. And like brothers, we had our differences. But many many times over dinner, we discussed how great it was to be able to sit across from each and laugh about all the terrible things we said and did to each other. He was always there for me, and I was always there for him. "The last time I saw him was on our mutually shared birthday, October 29, He gave me a big hug and a really great present. The best present, though, was the hug.
- Kelly Garni

"It's a very sad loss for the world of rock and 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 ...' [because] 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."
- Chuck Wright

"All of us are in shock trying to deal with this," Sarzo told Headbanger's Blog. "The last thing you expect when you get up in the morning is something like this. He was somebody who really loved life. He loved to have fun and have a great time. Every day to him was like a party — that's what it was like when I played with him." Sarzo added, "I think hell be remembered for being a hell of a rock singer. He was definitely one of the best singers of the '80s."
- Rudy Sarzo

I can't fix this, I can't change this and I'm expected accept the unbearable. I can't utter a sentence or think of my dear friend or even say his name without a flood of tears.
I can't stand that I won't hear his voice on the phone.
I can't stand that I won't step on a stage with him again.
I can't stand that I won't share another day with him.
I can't stand that I won't sit across from him laughing.
I can't stand to go past the room and see the awards we earned and shared.
I can't stand that life is forever changed.
I can't stand that I can't change this.
I can't stand that I have to accept this.
- Frankie Banali

Can you rewrite the text on as a comment. R.I.P. Kevin Dubrow.

[diofan]

I've long since deleted the master, So I can't quote them text for text. Dee Snider's quote was from when he first discovered Dubrow died. I do have a longer one from him, but those I have recovered are in the description. Dee's comments there are his longer version.

This is how Kevin died.

He had bought a bunch of coke and divided it into two piles. A smaller pile he was going to snort right away and a large pile he was saving for later.

When he bent down to snort his wig slipped over his eyes. He couldn't see which pile was which and he accidently snorted the big pile, overdosed, and died.

[acousticore]
