R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow ; Fly on Thunderbird


Quiet Riot Vocalist Kevin DuBrow, 52, was found dead at his Vegas home Sunday night ; cause of death unknown at this time pending autopsy/toxicology. I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing Kevin back in 1995 when they were in town promoting the "Down To The Bone" album . He was very polite, intelligent and articulate. He had a reputation as an asshole but I can say he was not one with me. I still have the pictures I took with the band backstage after the show on my wall and they all autographed my copy of "Metal Health" and posed for pix very graciously. I listened to "Thunderbird" last night after hearing about his death and toasted to Kevin...Fly away to your new home Brother...
