It’s been a long journey for the band Quiet Riot. A band that was at the forefront of hard rock and heavy metal’s rise in popularity during the early 80’s. Their album Metal Health was the first metal album to go number one and next year it’s celebrating it’s 50th anniversary. Orginal lead singer Kevin Dubrow died in 2007, but the band continued on with veteran singer Jizzy Pearl. Then in 2020 drummer Frankie Banali passed away after a battle with cancer. Of course we all know the story of their original guitarist Randy Rhoads who passed away in 1982 in a plane crash while he was in Ozzy’s band.
Now here we are in 2022 and Rudy Sarzo says this is a celebration of those members’ legacy within Quiet Riot. Plus they just put out a fantastic new song “I Can’t Hold On” that Alex and Kevin wrote in 2003. Alex found it on an iPod in 2021 and that now appears on the reissued version of their album Rehab. The video pulls on the heart and you can see it below.
Before they killed it at the WAPL X-Mas Bash this past Saturday, Cutter caught up with Alex and Rudy at their hotel in Green Bay.
