Mama Weer All Ded Now: Quiet Riot vocalist dies as first original creative act

Quiet Riot vocalist Kevin DuBrow died today at the age of 52. Somehow the article is CNN quoting TMZ, which tells us some disturbing things about the way news is now gathered and prioritized.

While many will recall the band as perhaps the first metal act to score a #1 charted album in the US, I remember the band as "the guys who copied Slade... twice."

Thus most unfortunately the first thing I had to do when I heard about the death was to see if the Slade (at left) vocalists are still alive, which they apparently are. At last, some original work from Quiet Riot!
