You guys beat me to this one...

I'm not a Quiet Riot fan but this is pretty surprising since they were out on tour just this past year.

by **Saint John** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:36 pm

That really sucks. That dude had had problems for a long time from what I understand though.

by **jrnychick** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:39 pm

How very sad.

by **Rip Rokken** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:40 pm

Dang! Totally threw me for a curve -- he was a very nice guy when I met him several years ago. This is very sad...

by **T-Bone** » Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:47 pm

No doubt... I met Kevin several times over the years starting back in 1991. He was ALWAYS polite and always took the time to meet the fans, sign autographs and take pics.

Oh man, real downer here. I hate this. Ive been a QR fan since 1983 when Metal Health stormed the charts. I remember goig to Camelot Music and buying that one and Frontiers at the same time. RIP Kevin.

unbelievable!!!!! :shock:

i met him a couple of times myself.. very very kind .. very sad...

This is so sad...

He was only 52.

Looks like there are some unpleasant things going on too.
Read this on BlabberMouth.net:

Although the band has yet to issue an official statement on the matter, bassist Kelly Garni, who was one of the founding members of QUIET RIOT, has posted the following message on the Randy Rhoads (late QUIET RIOT/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist) web site RandyRhoads.tk:

"I ask this to all of you not only for myself but for other friends and family. I ask that no one here offer any speculation or opinions, theories or other things that could be construed as negative or, and I'm sorry for this, even sympathetic, right at this immediate time. I am already within hours of this having to deal with untrue rumors and speculation and that only adds fuel to that. There is a tendency for the subject of Kevin to incite flames on every board and now is not the time for that. I will explain to everyone here the facts and the truth in the next 24 to 48 hours as I realize this will effect us all. So please, until then, be patient. All details and other pertinate info will be passed on to you here when it becomes available to me. Thank you."

Damn, that sucks. He was only 52.

R.I.P. Kevin.

by **strangegrey** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 12:48 am

Fuck!!! God needs to check the wax in his ears! He took the wrong fro-headed 80s rock star!!!!

All joking aside, this sucks. The guy had an amazing voice!

Rest In Peace, Kev! I need to go downstairs an pump up some slick black cadillac and pay tribute!!!

by **Clasicrockldy** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 12:54 am

Damn, what news to wake up to. How sad. Just a few years older than me.
:shock:

I am downloading a soundboard Quiet Riot boot right now.

RIP Kevin.

by **SPFan4ever** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:00 am

This is very sad news. I met him at a local Tavern here a few years back. He still ROCKED and he is a very nice guy. RIP Kevin!! You and Randy are together again.

by **anyway** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:10 am

very sad news indeed RIP Kevin.

by **RossValoryRocks** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:12 am

He was a very nice and genuine person...and very aware of Quite Riot's place in metal...they brought the hair metal sound to the main stream...RIP Kevin.

by **Ratgirl** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 6:36 am

How sad.. I saw them a couple years ago.

RIP!

Metal Health brings back so many memories for me from high school. So sad, that's way too young.
