    who's left from the origional lineup.

    
        Carlos Cavazo and Rudy Sarzo, I believe.
    
        Is Chuck Wright still there?  I know he had a stint with Impell-
        itteri, and he also plays on The House of Lords.

    re: who's left
    
    Probably not too many, since Randy Rhodes is gone, Rudy Sarzo is
    off playing with whoever he's with this week, and now Kevin Dubrow
    (who I didn't particularly like anyway) has been replaced.  Sounds
    like just a name, not any old members...
    
    Anyway, when I was in N.C. I listened to a really good rock station
    there and they played several cuts off the new QR album.  One called
    "The Joker", they played a lot, and made their top 10 of the week.
    There was at least two others that I heard as well.  If that was
    old Carlos Casazva (sp) playing, he's beening practicing over the
    last few years!  I liked what they played quite a bit.

    Sorry missed you Shawn.
    
    Is Rudy really in there?  I thot he was still with Whitesnake(?).
    With him it's hard to tell, changes bands every few days...
    
    gh
    

    
    Rudy is still in Whitesnot...opps... Whitesnake ;-)

    My SO just bought the disc the other night, he seems to like it.
    I've heard it only a coupleof time now, but it seems pretty good.
    Probably a good bet to get on CD.  I like Stay With Me Tonight,
    too, but check out The Joker and there's a nice ballad on there,
    too, I think.  
    Hold on a sec, I think I might be getting confused with the Richie
    Blackmore's Rainbow (RJ Dio on vox) tape we picked up the same night.
    I'll check tonight on that ballad.
    
    The only original members in the band are Carlos Cavazo & Frankie
    Banali, according to the label.
    
    Stacie

    Ahem.
    
    Let me do some clarifying (nit pickin?) here.  There are 5 QR albums
    out with Kevin Dubro on vocals, they are:
    
    Quiet Riot I
    Quiet Riot II
    Metal Health
    Condition Critical
    Quiet Riot III
    
    The *original* line up consisted of:
    
    Kevin Dubro - Vocals
    Randy Rhoads - Guitar
    Drew Forsythe - Drums
    Kelly Garney - Bass
    
    Kelly played bass on QR I & II, but Rudy's name and face appear
    on QRII.
    
    The line up for Metal Health changed to:
    
    Kevin Dubro - Vox
    Carlos Cavazo - Guitar
    Chuck Wright - Bass
    Frankie Banali - Drums
    
    Again, Rudy Sarzo's picture appears on this album, but he didn't play
    bass on it! (he's famous for this...same with Ozzy's `Diary' album)
    
    Chuck Writght returned for the QRIII tour but left again.  They have
    some new dude playin bass.  I haven't heard the new Quiet Riot album,
    but I think their hey-day is past.

        Buck:
    
               Where can I get the first 2 albums?  I never heard
               of them.
    
                                                       GTI
    

    
    	I also knew about those albums.  And I know Randy hated them
    and didnt want his fanz to get them cause he was less than pleased
    with his playing.
    
    Bk
    

    I got them in a used record type store.
    
    The sound quality is bad, and Randy's playing hadn't quite matured
    yet, but the tunes are good.  Slick Black Cadalac and Winners Take
    All are good examples of old tunes redone by the new lineup.

    
        Cam and Brian:
    
                        I'd be willing to bet that neither of u
                        have heard the new stuff.  It's complete-
                        ly different from the 'Kevin DuBrow' stuff,
                        and u might even like it if u listen to it.
    
                        BTW, Sean McNabb is the new bassist.

    			yupp, your exactly right, i haven't any
    		new stuff from them! so let me reframe a little...

    	Shawn... I was joking around with Tony (TTT).. I wasnt serious..
    although The old stuff bit it hard... IMO of course.  I wont pass
    judgement on the new stuff yet..till I hear it...then I can say
    it sux. 8^)

    	He's probably an exclusive ZEP fan.
    
    Hey, remember when Nikki Sixx wanted to beat the sh*t out of 
    Kevin DuBrow?! 
    I wonder if he ever got his hands on him.
    
    /MOtorbreath

    
    re;-1
    
    	Remeber when everyone wanted to beat the sh*t out of Kevin Dubrow,
    
    
     I like how they got rid of him though, he woke up in the morning
    while they were on tour and everything was gone the trucks the buses
     and all the people.
    
    Tass

    I heard that Sixx DID beat the hell out of him...And got sued !
    
    True ?

    RE::19
    		hey, when you go to a show with 80,000 other fans and
    the likes of Yngwie, Loudness, Quiet Riot, AC/DC are there to perform
    you would agree with me, that Quiet Riot does suck.....they practically
    got laughed off the stage!!! fans couldn't wait for them to get
    off the stage so that someone good could perform.... were talking
    feedback, cracked vocals, and a old hat performance.
    		other than that i hate tiny-bopper bands and Quiet Riot
    fits this bill perfectly....  BANG YOUR HEAD DALLISON???
    
    							JAM
    

    I heard a new tune from them on the Headgiver's Ball a few weeks
    back, real bluesy, and the new (and GREATLY improved...) singer
    sounded a lot like David Coverdale , IMO.  I liked it, but I just
    can't make myself like Quiet Riot.  Metal Health (Bang Your Head)
    was OK, in it's time, but those times are light years away !
    
    
    				Scary

    Thank you, Matt (METALord).  I was just thinking the same thing.
    
    re: new Quiet Riot
    
    I don't see why these guys wanted to use the old name!  It's a (mostly)
    different lineup and a different sound.  What I've heard (2 or 3
    songs) from the new album, I've liked.  Apparently not enough to
    go buy it, but it was enjoyable to listen to.  :-)
    
    Really is a different sound, I was quite surprised to hear the DJ
    say that was QR.
    
    gh
                    

    
    
    	I don't know... to me it sounds sorta like a Ruff Cutt 
    	album.. I'd rather have seen Ruff Cutt stay together
    	than Q.R. at least they have all the original band memebers...
    
    
    
    					Slim-

I also picked up the new QR album, and thought it was pretty good. It has
very little to do with the original sound of the band now. They are a lot
more blues oriented, and soudn like they are right out of the mid-70s.
In fact, (and this is a compliment), they reminded me a lot of Free (remember
Paul Rogers first band?).

Given some time, this could be my favorite QR album out of all of them!

cat

    Hey,
        PAUL SHORTINO did alot better in Rough Cutt than
    in the generic verion of Quiet Riot!  I did however
    enjoy most of the album and the new style.  Paul should
    go back to Rough Cutt if he could pull the guys from
    Jailhouse!  Quiet Riot should get a new singer more their
    style (But please no more of that idiot Kevin Debrow!!)
                  ROUGH CUTT RULZZZZZZZZZZZ!
    
                       LATERS,
                     R A G M A N N
    

    I thought that the last Quiet Riot album did have another singer (not
    Kevin Dubrow)?  It's been a couple of years though and I'm not
    absolutely sure.
    
    What I do remember was that there was a personal change in the band and
    I liked the new version of the band a lot better then the old stuff. 
    I think the problem was that they couldn't shake the cheeze-ball rock
    image they'd acquired before and nobody gave the new lineup much of a
    chance.
    
    gh
      

    GH,
    
    QR III had Paul Shortino from Ruff Cutt singing.  I liked Kev Dubrow's
    voice...but then again I was a QR fan from QR II album!  He started the
    band, so if he's out, I think it should break up and/or rename!!
    
    Hey, QR's Metal Health lp (their 3rd) outsold Boston and The Beatles
    for a first release...ya can't say they suck that much if they sold
    upwards of 10+ million lps on their first try.  The problem was they
    tried to clone their first lp on their 2nd lp, and noone wanted to
    hear that.
    
    B

    You really liked Kevin Dubrow's voice?  I always thought it was kind of
    obnoxious.  I liked Shortino a lot better.
    
    FWIW, I have a bootleg video of Quiet Riot playing like three songs at
    a club with Randy Rhodes on guitar.  The quality is really poor, but
    it's still cool.  One of the tunes they did was "Slick Black Cadillac"
    (my absolute favorite QR song).
    
    Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that I didn't *like* the early QR
    stuff. I did, but at the same time I thought a lot of it was kind of
    adolecent (and so was I at the time).  I always thought the lyrics were
    pretty dump (but not nearly as bad as Extremes!).
    
    "Slick Black Cadillac" is a killer tune!
    
    gh

    RE: .41  Small nit.
    
    	Actually, Kevin Dubrow sang on QR III.  Paul Shortino sang 
    	on their latest album, titled 'Quiet Riot'.
    
    Steve

    That's what I was thinking too, but I wasn't sure.
    
    QR III was *ok* ... my old band used to cover "The Wild And The Young",
    which was about the best tune on there .. IMO 'course ...
    
    
    Scary

    I think I remember 'Twilight Hotel' as being a pretty good song from
    that album also.
    
    steve

    Woah...Scary and I agree on something (Wild and the Young :== best tune).
                                                                      
    Now THAT'S Scary!

    	What a musician does off-mic or off-stage has no effect
    	on my opinion of the band's music.  The same goes for
    	Kevin DuBrow.
    
    	I don't know why people hate him so much, but I don't
    	care either.  I loved Quiet Riot with him in it, and
    	I'd buy another album of theirs if they recorded one.

    Here here GTI...me too!

       just announced....  Quiet Riot at Mr Tipps in Billerica,
    June 20th, Saturday.  I thought these guys were done and over with??
    
    BJ

    Nope...Quiet Riot came through quite a while back.
    It Kevin Debrow,Carlos Cavasa and two other NON-members acting as 
    the rythem section.  Sounds to me that some people just probably
    ran out of money...
    
               Friz
    

    
    
    Playin at Mr. Tipps? heehehe.. Geeasshh.. they can't even get into
    Axis or what?! 
    
    I think I'd just throw in the towel at that point.. 

    
    	So where'd Paul Shortino go to?
    
    							GTI

    
    I saw the flyer for the show last Thursday. Maybe they didn't go
    through Don Law, who knows...

    I thought these guys reformed a band called "Heat" ?  

    
    
    This band are releasing a new album in June.
    
    The album's called 'Terrified' and features a cover of the small faces
    song itchycoo park.
    
    Quiet riot's current line-up comprise of former members kevin dubrow
    and carlos cavazo.
    
    
    
    I remember seeing a video of them playing first on the bill at a
    big festival  in the US. They had Rudy Sarzo from whitesnake in the
    band at the time.......twas quite cool, they played Metal health and
    another song.
    
    
    
    
    EWAN

    COOL!
    
    QR had 'kicked out' founding member Kevin Dubrow a few years ago,
    while floundering in obscurity.  QR II (the album) is great, and
    the follow-up, Metal Health, was a classic!!  I love that album.
    I guess you could consider Rudy Sarzo an original member, as he
    did the QR II tour with Randy Rhoads and the boys way back when.
    Kelly Garney played on the album, but Rudys photo is on the album,
    and he did the tour.  Oddly enough, Rudy did not play on Metal
    Health either, but his photo is also on that album, and he did that
    tour as well.
    
    Can anyone name the 3rd album and tour that Rudy appeared on, but which
    he did not play on the album??
    
    
    Why yes, it is Ozzy's Diary of a Madman lp.

    
    	There's a "new old" CD out ... and it's called
    
    	"Quiet Riot - The Randy Rhoads Years".
    
    	Includes a live 9-minute song with a 7 or so minute solo by
    	Randy.
    
    							GTI

    I had read they re-released the old QUIET RIOT I and QUIET RIOT II
    albums...is the lp you mentioned a compilation of the two??

    
    	Yup, looks like they took the "highlights" from both albums and
    	merged them.  Also, there are a couple unreleased tracks ...
    	I think both are schlockey ballads that the liner notes mention
    	something about being written when Kevin was trying real hard
    	to get signed.
    
    	They mention "Japan only" releases of both albums.
    
    							GTI
    

         Just finished putting in a reply regarding the
    aforementioned QR stuff over in the GUITAR conference
    under the Randy Rhoads note (221, I believe)  Should
    have checked here first, but I was thinking about
    Randy not Quiet Riot at the time.  See ya.
    
    Kev --
    

    
    there was  a show on Mtv at the weekend called "It came from the 80's"
    and showed a selection of 80's music and a "where are they now" part!
    The two bands I saw were Quiet Riot and Men at Work.Men at work split
    up in '85 and Quiet Riot are playing Cow sheds in Idaho!
    
    
    btw..Kevin DuBrow is still a knobend!
    
    						ian

    I saw that too, ian.  Kev looks really cool with his new wig!  8^)
    The band still sounds killer (I always liked QR), but it's sad they
    are hopelessly mired in has-been obscurity.  So much for the hey-days
    of 1984!
    
    I give em credit for still "doing it", however.

    
    \haha!
    
    Kev with his beret on to keep the toupe from flying off!
    
    the bit I laughed at was an old piece of film from about 1984 when they
    were all sitting down on one couch and Kev stretches out his arms and
    hugs all the bands member to show the "happy family" thing then the
    drummer pipes up with "don't touch me".I think they were less than
    happy with each other at that time!
    
    						ian

    
    I saw that too! Definately a nice rug! ;)

I saw it too.  They tried to seem happy didn't they?

I'd rather be pouring beer behind the bar than playing the place they were in...
Geez, Idaho!  Looked like maybe 300 people there?  

Reminds me of the time I saw Steppenwolf (at least they were billed as that) in
a bar in Burlington Vermont.  It's a long slide to the bottom from the top, eh?

Kind of like Motorhead/Black Sabbath playing to 750 at Great Woods.

Tim

    
    yup its a long slide from the bottom to the top and a quick one for
    some!~
    
    
    btw..I never considered Quiet Riot to be anywhere near the top!
    I think that is one of the bands I would consider the champions in the
    "Most like Spinal Tap" category!
    
    						ian
    
    

    
    	These guys could rock, in their earlier years.  They got kind
    	of boring after what most people believe to be their 2nd album
    	["Condition Critical"].
    

Their 2 best songs were stolen from Slade

    
    Have you heard "The Randy Rhoads Years"? It does sound 80-ish for sure
    but what really surprised me was Scott Travis on drums! He was on JP's
    PainKiller and is now with Rob Halford in Fight. Never heard of him
    till he was with JP and then on the QR TRRY disc. Condition Critical
    was ok and I have it on album and one other on CD with "Twilight Hotel"
    which I think was QR III....?
    
    Mike
    
    

    
    	Scott Travis used to be in Racer X with Paul Gilbert.
    
    	And "QRIII" basically sucks, except for "Bass Case".
    

    Of course, Scott Travis was only in Racer X on their Second Heat and
    Extreme Volume - Live Vol I and Vol II CDs.  There was a different
    dude on drums on Street Lethal.

    
    Yeah,
    
    But weren't they like wicked speedy/intricit(sp) type stuff? I only
    heard a little of them way back when.
    
    Mike
    

    
    yup...they're graduates from the Mike Varney "Shrapnel" label
    
    
    
    						ian

    
    	Mike Varney ROOLZ!!
    
    	Alot of talent on the stuff he puts out.
