Kevin DuBrow-Quiet Riot Interview (Part 1 of 2)

This interview took place on Saturday October 2nd 1999 in the game room of the "Tap Room" in the Historic Fitger's Brewery Complex in downtown Duluth. This is Part 1 of two. It should be noted that Public Access TV personalities Jonny D & Kenny K were asked by the late John Bonneville, owner of the Tap Room to conduct an interview of the band. It turned out to be just one band member, vocalist Kevin Dubrow. Kevin was outstanding, we joked with him he was friendly and seemed very relaxed and willing to talk, which he did very well revealing some long lost kept secrets like Duluth being the very first city Quiet Riot played as they began a tour with The Scorpions. Kevin Dubrow may not be a household name amongst rock singers but the songs he sang and that voice are very recognizable. In this interview you'll hear how much he loved what he did and how much his friends and his family meant to him. We hurt knowing he's passed away, but we are so damn glad that he took some time to hang with a couple of "average guys" and talk about the marvelous life he was living.

Thank you so much for sharing this. As a young historian of rock, this is amazing. God bless you, Kevin.

many people didnt know that Randy Rhoads was in Quiet Riot. I did, but to me the real Qr was with the "Metal health" lineup. Randy was bigger with Ozzy anyway.

The Clarences love & support The Average Guys! Long live Kevin!

If there was ever a band that got the short end of the shitstick it was Quiet Riot.
