In December, Quiet Riot reissued their 2006 album Rehab: Relapsed & Remastered, which included a previously unreleased track titled I Can’t Hold On (please go here to see the video). The song (originally written and demoed by Kevin Dubrow & Alex Grossi in 2003) features a posthumous reunion of Dubrow, Frankie Banali and Rudy Sarzo and is accompanied by an emotional video tribute directed by Frankie’s widow Regina Banali.
Being i saw them twice in their heyday, I wouldn’t be interested in seeing this version of the band. Maybe if Carlos was a part of it.
I saw the Metal Health tour in 1983 at the Roxy in Hollywood. Loudest concert I ever attended.
Where is Carlos and why is he never mentioned when talking about Quiet Riot? Everyone always mentions Randy Rhodes, but the Quiet Riot that was most successful had Carlos in it. Why doesn’t he ever play with them anymore?
I seen QR or at least Kevin at an outdoor 80’s event in Portsmouth Va at some point. Can’t remember the exact year but I can’t find record of this anywhere. I think The Outfield was part of the lineup.
