RIP
I also name drop Carlos Cavazos every chance I get.
R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow. May you bang your head with greats of yesteryear.
weird tthat i randomly played "cum on feel the noise" last night at the strippy.
Quiet Riot at the tiny Boston landmark dive bar The Rat, circa 1994
or so ... apparently a local booker had learned that Quiet Riot would
play ANYWHERE in the US for something like $800 - so he booked them
into this tiny basement club, and they came, all the way from CA ...
the most awesome thing about the show was, it could be 50 people
in front of them, or 50,000 - they were going to do the same show
regardless, and play as if it were the hugest arena on earth. The crowd
was mostly young punks, with some diehard hairmetallers from the 'burbs
in the mix, bandanas down the pants leg etal ... I'll never forget the feeling
of moshing in a circle pit to "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" with a bunch of
skinheads and mullets, living in brotherhood. I was hoarse for days after,
having screamed along and banged my head to every track. What a blast.
I always thought that was a rumor. did you go to many shows at Lamours??? What was that DJ's name???
Kevin: RIP.
I was probably there five or six times in the early/mid-80's. Saw the Ramones, Joe Perry Project, Quiet Riot, Talas and a couple of others I can't recall. I don't remember the DJ, but the barmaids, who all wore black spandex, would come out onto the floor and take your order.
I used to be there every weekend. Had a blast most of the time except when I went to Slayer there with some of the Anthrax dudes, got sucker punched in the mosh pit and Frank Bello doesn't want to relatiate cuz "they might also be Anthrax fans"
