Title: Re: Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow found dead. Post by: Murgos on November 26, 2007, 01:53:56 PM I had Metal Health when I was 11? 12? I remember getting ragged on for listening to it. I seem to recall sewing a Motorhead patch onto my jean jacket sometime around there too.
I've always had a soft spot for Slick Black Cadillac though. Title: Re: Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow found dead. Post by: DarkDryad on November 26, 2007, 02:04:23 PM i mean they weren't Priest or Megadeth or anything but they weren't that bad. Hell I liked WASP as well. Gotta love a band whose lead singer throws raw meat at ya while wearing a cod piece with a skill saw blade welded to it.

Post by: Bunk on November 26, 2007, 02:09:26 PM Metal Health was tied for the first metal album I ever owned, as I got Back in Black at the same time. Still rocked out to Bang your head and C'mon feel the Noise whenever the local station had Mullet Madness weekends.
We need a sad smiley for such occasions. Title: Re: Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow found dead.

I just thought their posturing and guitar faces were funnier than everyone else's. Some of the songs were good though. Even though the biggest ones were covers, Dubrow could belt out a tune. Heh I was just trying to sing something like him... Almost puked! My voice is strictly baritone. Title: Re: Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow found dead. Post by: Signe on November 26, 2007, 03:19:48 PM I thought they were horrible but, still, RIP. I couldn't take their look or their sound seriously. It was a weird time, though, for music.
Title: Re: Quiet Riot singer Kevin Dubrow found dead. Post by: Sky on November 27, 2007, 08:00:05 AM Seminal late 70s-early 80s band. I was into heavier stuff but still had a copy of metal health. I seem to remember Dubrow was kind of a douche, but in an artistic vision kinda way. He kinda got caught as a 70s gig/bar artist in the 80s when image took over the music industry. He had a monstrous voice (in a good way).
Rudy Sarzo was a good bassist and of course, the band is where Randy Rhoades got his start. |
