She said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death."I can't even find the words to say," Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."Quiet Riot, which was founded in the mid-1970s, topped the Billboard charts in 1983 with the album "Metal Health," spurred on by the massive hit single "Cum on Feel the Noize."The band has since endured break-ups and personnel changes but released a new album in 2006 and continued to tour sporadically.!http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/nm/20071126/2007_11_26t143005_289x450_us_quietriot_death.jpg?x=180&y=280&sig=kzVdx2QoNE2p_KlubbCI5w--!In 1983 I was in a metal band in High School. I was the lead singer and we did a cover of Quiet Riot's "Cum on Feel the Noize". That opening drum riff gets me everytime. RIP Kevin DuBrow.

  4. mickimicki says Appears that way, Dale. How lucky we (as a generation) are/were to be able to almost "forget" the fragility with relative peace in our countries, health care, and the good life we're having. Only shame that it's all an illusion.
