A Tribute

Quiet Riot Bassist Chuck Wright has issued the following statement to Saviours of Rock

I'm completely shocked and devastated. I’ve truly lost a brother and it’s a very sad loss for the world of rock n' roll. I'm so very fortunate to have been a part of his life these past 26 years. I have so many fond memories and it's a blessing that these recent few years have been so great with the band. There is no reason to say "I wish we could have ...we did!" I still can't believe I won't be sharing the stage with his larger than life presence ever again. The man left a mark wherever he went and I’m heartbroken that he is no longer with us."

Sadly,
Chuck Wright

Motley Crue Bassist NIKKI SIXX has contacted Saviours of Rock Correspondent Deb Rao with an Exclusive statement regarding the passing of rock legend Kevin Dubrow

I was thinking about sitting in Kevin's Apt in 1979.....I had just been over to Randy Rhoades (Who still lived with his Mom at the time) Learning some of their songs.....Randy called Kevin while I was there and told him they should get me to be the bass player in Quiet Riot.  I passed......Cause we all had a destiny...... Today is a sad day......He always did what he loved most, Music and always said what was on his mind....And that is the measure of a man....He will be missed....I'm grateful to have those early memories.... Before the fame....Just kids with dreams...... I send my love and support to his family and friends....I know this is a hard time.......

Saviours of Rock Correspondent Deb Rao Remembers Kevin Dubrow.

I was deeply saddened hear the news today that my friend Kevin Dubrow, lead singer of Quiet Riot has passed. I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to his family and members of Quiet Riot and my dear friends Frankie, Alex, and Chuck. My heart goes out to them at this very sad moment. The world has lost a great legend.

I last saw Kevin perform on my Birthday on September 2nd at the Woodstock Fair in Ct. He gave an outstanding performance to the sold out crowd, and was one of the greatest performers on the planet. Kevin had a heart of gold, and was a true friend. Words can not describe what I am feeling right now. Kevin had a larger than life personality. His vocal style was reminiscent of his idol Rod Stewart. Kevin was so proud of Quiet Riot's latest album, "Rehab".  He embellished life with much enthusiam. Never resting on his past laurels. I was so happy to see the tremendous crowd response from Quiet Riot's performance at the Woodstock Fair. I called his cell phone today to hear his voice one last time.

Quiet Riot had a huge following in the New England area. In the past, I have seen Quiet Riot perform many times at Hampton Beach Casino, Foxwoods Theatre, and most recently the Woodstock Fair on September 2nd. I was actually introduced to Kevin, through Quiet Riot guitarist Alex Grossi, when Kevin performed at the Lucky Dog Music Hall. Kevin told me many times that Alex reminded him of a young Randy Rhoads. It was so inspiring to see the front man so happy at the Woodstock Fair. 

As I have said many times in interviews, the 80's were a time that was ever so magical and knew no boundaries. Kevin had a larger than life personality, that shined through his every perfomance. Kevin's voice  had a bluesy vocal style that when you heard one line, you knew it was him.  Kevin, you are in our hearts and in our prayers. We will miss you very much. The  80's genre has surely lost a true legend.

I would like to take a moment to remember Kevin, in our very last interview at Foxwoods B.B.Kings discussing "Rehab". Also, is a review of Quiet Riot on September 2, 2007 at Woodstock Fair in Woodstock, CT.   .   

Thank you,
Deb Rao - Boston writer   

 

Saviours Of Rock could not be more devastated at this very sad news.

We give full condolences to his family as the music world mourns one of its greatest pioneers.

RIP brother.
1st metal band to reach #1.
True legend and a true tragedy.

Give respect, because he deserves it.
