Quiet Riot Singer Dead!

I just read this as I was logging on to check email. I cannot believe this. Quiet Riot was one of the very first metal bands that I ever obsessed about back in the sixth grade. I remember sleeping over at Jason Mackey's duplex while his Mom was working. We would crank his vinyl copy of "Metal Health" learning every word on that album. To this day, I pretty much remember all the lyrics whenever I listen to it! How many of us ever headbanged as we heard the kick and snare drum begin "Cum On Feel The Noize? Admit it...you did. Kevin DuBrow had such a distinct voice...I mean when I listened to the song "Love's A Bitch," I could hear his pain and perhaps his hate of it. Kevin's voice was so good. Strangely, I remember just moving into our new house on south hill, and I was in my room. I was actually listening to Metal Health, and I was inspired by the cover art to it. So much so, that I drew the mask from that album on my wall next to my bedroom door. Even though this was not very popular with the parents, they let me keep that drawing on the wall. That insane guy wearing the mask on the initial albums, was of course modeled after Kevin's persona. This is a terrible loss. One of the great voices of heavy metal is silenced. Awful. I cannot imagine what may have killed him...at this point it's too early to know. I know though, that the "12 year old" in me is sad that he's gone. RIP Kevin... More later...
