I had one interaction with Kevin while riding my BMX bike to get a Slurpie at 7/11 as a kid. QR got out of a limo & I asked Kevin, “Where’s Rudy (Sarzo)?” Kevin replied, “Playing the US (Festival) with Ozzy.” I found out decades later Rudy played with QR that day & Bob Daisley played with Ozzy. Kevin punked me. 😂

It's gotta be rough making it to the top, selling millions of albums, doing sold concerts and in a matter of two years you're busted down to where you started, flat broke from partying and your albums tanking. I saw local news footage of him just before he died showing up to a 200 person dive bar to perform. Over 50 years old wearing what he did in 1984 with his big gut hanging out. I actually thought to myself, This isn't going to end well. I was right.
I loved Kevin and his demons finally got the best of him honestly which is sad!!! But, Frankie was a great guy and drummer and lost his mom to cancer and his brother Kevin and then Frankie Banalli died from cancer, but he kept playing even sick till he couldn't do it anymore!!! Sad, Rip 🙏 Randy, Kevin, and Frankie!!!
saw Randy playing with Quiet Riot at a backyard party in Burbank. even though Randy grew up on the Burbank HS side of town, this party was down near Burroughs HS. some great house parties in Burbank in the late 70s.
Metal Health was the first ' heavy metal ' album I ever heard. I was maybe 10 yrs old and in 1983 you didn't hear Judas Priest or Rainbow with Dio on FM radio in rural Indiana and nobody had the albums around me . So being the first really commercially successful album of that kind of music , it was my intro to it. Of course within a couple years I had met a dude in the neighborhood who had came from California with an older brother who had stacks of NWOBHM records . Those really got my attention . I wouldn't discover the pioneers of metal like Black Sabbath til I was 15 or so.
Sounds like deja-vu bro, living in Southern Indiana as a kid my first albums were Twisted Sister, Motley Crue Quiet Riot then Ratt. This was around 84-85, and I can remember seeing all these bands like Metallica and Anthrax etc.. in magazines but never being able to hear them until probably 86'-87'... Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and a few others could be heard some once Dee Snider started hosting a show (I'm sure you are familiar with) called Head Bangers Ball. Black Sabbath filtered in around 88' and 89' for me. Growing up in middle America bro lol, good times though.
You'd love my early 80s vinyl from when everyone was starting out. Some of those bands went big, others the musicians in them. All original releases. I was in my early 20s and in the navy. QR Mental Health was great.
I saw QR with Kix as the opener at a small theater in Scranton, PA the summer of 1983. I was 17. We hung out with Carlos and Rudy at the hotel pool after the show. Quite an experience for a 17 year old. Kix was very, very good btw. Where did you see them?
Today is December 6, 2023. This day would have been Randy Rhodes' 67th birthday. That would be quite a respectable age. if it weren't for that damn plane. Rendy RHOADS in harts fans forever. Long live Rendy RHOADS and Kevin Dudrow 🤘🤘
Kevin, God rest his soul, was just not on the same level as Randy. It seems he could never let go of that. The world never would have known Randy if he stood in QR. Randy knew it. Thats why he left. Now Randy will always be known as the quintessential Heavy Metal Guitar God!
He has always said in interviews that he hated doing 'Cum on Feel The Noize' , mainly because it was a Slade cover. As a kid, I never knew that, but if you listen to the performance, it is a freakin amazing performance! It's very hard as a band to "dial in/all systems go" on a performance - but they certainly did for that track. Shame they didn't have more success, but they did have SIGNIFICANT success at that time. R.I.P., Kevin DuBrow
It's because other than metal health and that one, album was meh. I can say this, I was a kid who owned that album. It has no legs. It's not Led Zeppelin.
@@Audfile oh , we beg your pardon - didn’t know we were dealing with such an authority on music - NEWSFLASH: you weren’t the only one living on planet earth in 1983 , aware of popular music. Your comment sucks
Hard to believe Kevins brother is a top plastic surgeon on botched , Terry J. Dubrow I never would have guessed it but he was on a medium show and handed the guy Kevin's award Mic
met kevin at the Button Ft Lauderdale he was clean and very friendly, was alot taller than i expected. nice guy. Incredibly it was the original lineup with carlos, rudy and banali , there was like 300 people there, this was their final tour together. i had seen them 15 years earlier with iron maiden, arena tour
Haha yes I was backstage with him port Jeff Long Island in 2000s sometime. Packed small place. All except Rudy I think. Green area was small too right behind stage. Very hard to move even in there and of get out to bathrooms , so right before they walk on Kev whips it out and pees in the plastic drum garbage can right in middle of the room and everybody as metal health starts and he walks out. He had a big Kevin grin on and just went about his business. Funny moment.
@@johnmiller9219 hey John... Well show was at the village pub as it was called then .closed now after a few name changes. I Saw buck cherry there too. it had good stage mostly local and regional acts but every once in a while a bigger name band would come thru. It was at top of the hill near Tara's inn. It was a great show and it really happened mostly people laughed it was his area anyway but there were some wives and people only passing thru for autograph s and stuff. Friends of the owners....Kevin hood up his hand hand over the pen and says sorry...turns side ways and just starts pissing. It was hilarious no to me. He gave a nod and a smile and walked out the door onto the stage .
@@johnmiller9219 I'm from Detroit, but moved to Rocky Point L.I. in 1983. Was lucky enough to see both The Ramones and Frank Zappa in Port Jefferson. Use to have some great times down there, great memories. Saw Ozzy at The Ritz in NYC with Brad Gillis and Rudy Sarzo for the Speak of the Devil album.
Randy was never going to realize his potential in QR. They were a Glam Rock party band, nothing special; and similar to other bands in that genre. Ozzy presented an opportunity to pursue his own musical vision, that explains how he blossomed overnight into this musical genius and guitar prodigy. It was there all along, waiting for the right vehicle to express it.
I think your 100% correct. Ive heard Quiet Riot music with Randy on guitar and it just didn't do it for me. Randy joins Ozzy and it was like unleashing a beast within himself. Totally different sound and technically different that the Quiet Riot stuff he'd done.
Yeah I would be sad to when such a driving force goes someplace else to become that which we all knew he was capable of being. I think we are all happy that Randy made that call.
Agreed. Too bad Sharon hired a known manslaughter-er, Andrew Aycock, to be their bus driver. She knew he'd gotten someone killed in (or with) a helicopter and greenlit him being the Ozzy band's bus driver anyway. I'll always hate that guy for destroying one of the most amazing, wonderful musical talents rock music has ever known, the bastard.
They opened up for the scorpions on both bands way to the US festival at a community college gymnasium in Grand Junction Colorado ...never will forget it
Great interview. Kevin is a better guy than a lot of people say. Watched stopped at the exact time... ...what is the rhythmic pattern of a Randy Rhoads guitar solo? I used to play all of them, and not sure what he's saying...
I was wondering the same thing. I went and listened to “don’t know what I want” and thought maybe the verse riff was a little bit similar to Flying High Again but the solo was nothing like Randy’s style.
When I had the QR Japan import CD the included booklet Kevin talked about the songs on the QR CD and mentioned which QR song parts and Randy`s leads were used on which Ozzy`s songs.
I dont get the hate for kevin. he sounds perfectly cordial and reasonable in every interview I've heard. His brother is Terry Dubrow from the real housewives of orange county.
Kevin talked alot of sh*t about other bands and other individual musicians. That's why he got the bad reputation. EGO + COCAINE = A**HOLE. He had alot of cool moments and was genuinely a great guy. I saw them play with Iron Maiden back in 1983. That was my first concert. Kevin was awesome as was the entire band. Kevin also seemed very appreciative of all of us fans and where he was in the moment. I cannot and will not ever forget that about him. He was happy where they were and very engaged with us as a crowd. He left a really good impression on us.
i met Dubrow briefly in may 27 1984 @American Rock Festival timberidge Kalamazoo mi. he was just standing there..in the open..drinking a cup of beer and nobody reconized him or was around him. here i am with Kev Dubrow, he takes a sip and asks..'you here to see Ozzy'..i said no. ohh?..'well your here to see Motley Crue then'..no again, im here to see you and Quiet Riot. and he starred at me as if to question why. Kevin seemed dismayed by my answer is what i remember about him.
The biggest prick I've ever met in rock n roll was Kevin in 1985. The nicest guy I met in rock n roll was Kevin in 1999. It was really funny, I ran into Kevin in Las Vegas and we talked for a few minutes then I told him we did meet previously, but I doubt he remembered. I told him it was on the Condition Critical tour. He said, "oh jeeeez, I'm really sorry about that" we both laughed.
They sure did. There is a hilarious TV concert from like 84/85. It was QR, Molly Hatchet and Joe Walsh. Big fan of MH and Walsh but by that time Metal was king and their careers were tanking. They were a bit cranky with the crowd that was 85% leather and stud wearing metal heads. Walsh was a miserable prick and started mocking the crowd and slipping in snide remarks. He was all pissed off because he wasn't being worshipped and bowed too. I use to have it on VHS and used to watch it for a laugh. The audience had zero interest in his music.
I love how Dubrow remembered Randy very respectfully, so much so as to not sensationalize him and paint him a saint. I like the real version better Rhoads was unbelievable! Love his playing.
things happen for a reason, and Kevin was the right guy for the gig, sad the way his life ended too, but he is up there jamming with Randy and Frankie. of course Randy is wearing the RNRHOF jacket now.
Nice to hear Kevin later in maturity speaking about everything. In the 80s, unfortunately he was loathed by many because he was always negative in the press, and constantly talked awful of most every other band. I didn't understand it. He's sharp here, nice and a great storyteller.
Kevin had no right to feel hurt when Randy left. QR was Randy’s band, DuBrow had no experience as a vocalist or writer, and Randy was arguably the best guitarist in LA. Randy deserved the shot and made the most of it. DuBrow was lucky to have worked with Randy for a short period.
Sadly, I wasn’t into Quiet Riot because of Kevin Dubrow, just all the old stories of him being cocky, arrogant and just being a loudmouth just made me not listen to them like that. But I like Carlos Cavazo, he’s a good guitar player. R.I.P Randy Rhoads.
You must not be talking about when Quiet Riot came out and was popular. Those stories didn't come out til years later. All you heard early on, was fluff pieces in all the magazines.
@@ellamcclanahan9811 Yeah, that’s why I said “all the old stories” because the way they portrayed him made me not want to listen to their music. Obviously they have great songs.
Metal Health complete game changer such a super cool album. Sad though Kevin took a lot of shots throughout the years some not self-inflicted either he did not have an easy go of success after the first big metal health year
I remember back around '92 when Quiet Riot played in Seattle at one of the top club level venues called Rock Candy. I spent the majority of that night next door at the Off Ramp cocktail lounge but then I decided to go peek in on Quiet Riot's set. Talk about poor timing, Seattle at that point in time was the world wide capital of rock music and it certainly didn't have anything to do with butt rock. Kevin Dubrow had probably the toughest set I ever saw in regards to crowd behavior. %90 of those in attendance were just there to laugh at Quiet Riot's immense decline. Beers and towels got thrown at Dubrow until finally one or the other hit him in the head and knocked off his hair piece! That humiliation put an end to the show.
Randy didn't want to join Ozzy initially. But his mother told him he had to take this chance because it might lead to bigger and better opportunities. No one knew how big those albums would turn out to be.
They were playing the opening barre chords to Crazy Train in one of their songs live but I haven't listened to the one he mentioned yet but I assumed that's what he meant.
There's a QR song called I believe "Kiss of Death" that Randy used the chords for in the Ozzy B- Side "You Looking at Me, Looking at You". As someone else mentioned, in Randy's live solo with QR you can hear parts of Crazy Train and Dee.
I just double checked and it is "Kiss of Death" look for it on youtube and you'll hear it's basically the same song as "You looking at Me"..as far as the chords go.
Yeah, not only did Randy go, but Rudy went with him…. and now tho Rudy has finally returned (again) Carlos ain’t there, and both Butch and Frankie are up in Rock n roll heaven… not to say the other guys they’ve hired aren’t decent vocalists, they are, it’s just they’re never gonna quite be able to do tracks from the three albums with the classic lineup. Can’t believe it’s been 14 years… and to think he perished almost a full week before they found him…. 😭😞🤷🤷
I never quite got that either, but I think it was mutual--(my understanding) is Rudy wasn't into the hard partying, though he curiously remained cordial with Frankie (who was known to be Kevin's co-conspirator when it came to doing drugs). The partying eventually turned Carlos away as well, and he has hinted at that in a number of interviews, and finally opened up about it in a very recent one. I am unclear why Carlos and Rudy haven't put anything together of their own since their families have been close for decades with their brothers playing together in the band Hurricane. It might just be that Carlos feels that QR isn't the same with a different line-up even though his reasons for leaving back in the day included the partying issue (which he seems to imply was more Frankie's doing than Kevin's....His statement is along the lines of (I am paraphrasing not quoting) Some other person I am not comfortable naming was a bad influence on Kevin and that interfered with the friendship I had with Kevin). That's all I have to offer. Maybe somebody knows more about it, and specifically more about Kevin and Rudy.
He hinted around about it. pretty much called him lazy, didn't want to put in the time/non contributor and just wanted the quick and easy way to a record deal and the money.
@@vincentgarzoli3197 thx for writing this, i always likes Carlos' playing but never really looked into him/followed him. Rudy I kept tabs as he is such a pro and reliable person. does his job solidly
Loved RR with QR, but honestly he was a better fit with Ozzy and Carlos Cavazo was the better fit for QR. That they both had huge success was nice to see for both of them.
9:35 *I just listened to "Don't know what I want," and I couldn't hear any obvious rhythm pattern that sounded like anything on Ozzy's first 2 albums. It sounds very power chordish... basically like any cheesy metal tune.*
Anyone read Sarzo’s story that Randy died fighting the pilot? Supposedly this tour member was suicidal and was able to steal this guys fully fueled plane. Randy wouldn’t be caught dead in that thing. He wasn’t a good pilot but Randy supposedly went when the guy says his ex is on her way, and wouldn’t it be funny if I got that plane and took out her, Ozzy, me everyone. Well Randy didn’t think he was joking and went along. This guy who told Sarzo he saw the plane dipping and flying erratic then toward the bus. Last thing he saw was Randy causing the plane to veer and only clip the Bus. What an interesting read! Makes more sense than the first story. I never believed that. He was drug free and alcohol free as well post mortem.
Id love to see the alternative history were randy doesn't join ozzy, and stays with quiet riot. Randy doesn't die and just writes killer music with Kevin.
we all would now, but those first two albums were so great with the Blizzard of Ozz band. Not sure how much he grows into the player he came as quickly without the mentoring of Bob Daisley
Met him once in a one off show in Appleton, Wi. cool guy, Franki Banali didn't like the Drum pedal setup they gave him. Used our Drummer's Kick pedals.
That’s not exactly what he said…. He came up with chord progression for a solo section of a quiet riot song which he was in and then a few yrs later randy used it with ozzy behind new solo section for ozzy. Not that hard to believe.
@@j.reveille6815 sorry but even if that's what he said, o don't believe Randy needed his help. It would be like Robert Plant saying he wrote a chord progression for Jimmy Page. So I am sorry but if you believe him good for you I certainly don't
@@crusheverything4449 again someone who doesn't play guitar, will not write chord progressions for someone as talented as Randy was. Give it some thought. Even Ozzy is stupid enough to say he wrote any guitar parts for Randy. Again it would be like Roth saying he wrote any Van Halen guitar parts.
I think he said that he wrote a pattern, like a rhythm pattern behind a guitar solo. Someone should check the song he mentions and see what he's talking about.
@@bobhalford again a chord pattern, progression are the same thing. Why would Randy need someone who doesn't play guitar write his chords. Yet Randy who was a teacher who studied music, is quite capable of doing it himself. Lyrics absolutely anything musically I call BS.
Not in LA he couldn’t because it was known as Randy’s band and would be false advertising to the locals is what he meant. But once they made it out of LA It didn’t matter to anyone.
Acredito muito mais nos sentimentos de Kevin Dubrow em relação à Randy Rhoads,do que os sentimentos de Ozzy Osbourne. Acredito que Randy voltaria ao Quiet Riot e o faria algo igual ou superior ao que o Van Halen se tornou.
Fact is, Randy created all of Ozzy’s greatest music and lyrics (some by Lemmy K), which we wouldn’t have had Randy stayed with Quiet. Yes, there’s a perfect reason that Ozzy couldn’t do crap before Randy, did wonders with Randy, then survived on luck and fumes after Randy died.
Bob Daisely wrote 90% of all lyrics for Ozzy from Blizzard of Oz through No More Tears. Lemmy wrote maybe 5 songs with Ozzy. This is well documented. I love Randy but to dismiss what Jake E. Lee brought to the mix and even Zakk is kind of absurd. I agree Diary is Ozzys best album...but he definitely put out some stellar music right up until about 91 or so. Just my opinion....so don't think Im trying to start some pissing match with you.
@@theSword- That is a fair statement. I trust we all associate those first two albums as the ones that established Ozzy's solo brand apart from Sabbath, and obviously Randy (and Daisley) had significant roles in the creation of that music, therefore everything (and everyone) that followed were committed to following the template of those songs--There was no chance that Sharon would allow Ozzy to break the mold of that kind of success!
Thank God Randy left QuietRiot to work with Ozzy. QR were pretty awful, and Dubrow’s voice was largely the reason why. Meanwhile, Randy’s work with Ozzy was historic.
Randy was not allowed to write the music he wanted with QR despite it being his band, the producer and label wanted pop rock with less guitar focus. This is why he was able to use some of his riffs and turn them into masterpieces with Bob Daisley
Yeah, back in the mid 90`s I finally found a quiet riot Japan import CD and wasn't blown away. There were 2 songs I like. I don't recall now, CD was stolen over 10 years ago. I remember thinking, Randy was right for leaving. At that time that band was going NO where.
I saw Quiet Riot open for someone, I don’t remember who, on tour after Metal Health was released. I loved the band until I saw them live. I thought they were ok musically, but I just didn’t like DuBrow live. He didn’t sing good. I saw them another time and he was better but still not great. The band was better than he was. Very impressed with Frankie though
Metal Health is a great album and a few other songs after that album. He was like Nugent, after awhile the over the top, loud and running the mouth in your face attitude is entertaining to a point and then it gets old. A quote from a writer that reviewed condition critical wrote, they should have named this album condition terminal. haha
Quiet Riot with Randy Rhoads wasn't anywhere. There are a bunch of videos on youtube with Randy in QR. The songs suck. No where near as good as Blizzard or Diary. That not only my opinion but also the opinion of Mrs. Rhoads. She said herself that the songs weren't really that good. Now Randy with Ozzy, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. Totally different story. Randy totally shined and proved he was a world class musician,
Man, I really miss Kevin DuBrow. I don't care what anyone says, I met him a few times and he was always super cool to me.
I have to agree with you. I knew him in the 70's. He slept on my couch many nights. Very cool guy, gifted & intelligent
his coke addiction consumed him. sad story.
Cocaine seems bring out the _asshole_ in most people who abuse it!
Yes, cocaine can be bad if you don't manage it well. You have to commit to only every other day and really plan your night. Never date a girl who is a vacuum cleaner or you'll go broke and end up with a domestic violence charge!
My comment was not an invitation to start talking about cocaine. Show some respect.

I heard Kevin told randy “don’t be a fool- go with Ozzy! Opportunity of a lifetime!”
Both Kevin DuBro and Randy Rhodes are legends gone before their time.
But 23 is a lot sooner than 52.
Today is December 6, 2023. This day would have been Randy Rhodes' 67th birthday. That would be quite a respectable age. if it weren't for that damn plane.
Rendy RHOADS in harts fans forever.
Long live Rendy RHOADS and Kevin Dudrow 🤘🤘
Great interview , thanks for posting
Kevin, God rest his soul, was just not on the same level as Randy. It seems he could never let go of that. The world never would have known Randy if he stood in QR. Randy knew it. Thats why he left. Now Randy will always be known as the quintessential Heavy Metal Guitar God!
This is an amazing audio clip!
Really would love to hear more of Kevin
He has always said in interviews that he hated doing 'Cum on Feel The Noize' , mainly because it was a Slade cover. As a kid, I never knew that, but if you listen to the performance, it is a freakin amazing performance! It's very hard as a band to "dial in/all systems go" on a performance - but they certainly did for that track. Shame they didn't have more success, but they did have SIGNIFICANT success at that time.
R.I.P., Kevin DuBrow
I never knew Slade did the song until a few years ago. How was that not a bigger hit?
@@groundhog5923 They were never big in USA
@@ROOKTABULA they certainly paid their dues over the years and we’re the first mega successful “Heavy Metal” group on the charts.
It's because other than metal health and that one, album was meh. I can say this, I was a kid who owned that album. It has no legs. It's not Led Zeppelin.
@@Audfile oh , we beg your pardon - didn’t know we were dealing with such an authority on music - NEWSFLASH: you weren’t the only one living on planet earth in 1983 , aware of popular music. Your comment sucks
Hard to believe Kevins brother is a top plastic surgeon on botched , Terry J. Dubrow
I never would have guessed it but he was on a medium show and handed the guy Kevin's award Mic
Damn, Kevin was such a great guy. He's so cool and likeable. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
met kevin at the Button Ft Lauderdale he was clean and very friendly, was alot taller than i expected. nice guy. Incredibly it was the original lineup with carlos, rudy and banali , there was like 300 people there, this was their final tour together. i had seen them 15 years earlier with iron maiden, arena tour
Haha yes I was backstage with him port Jeff Long Island in 2000s sometime. Packed small place. All except Rudy I think. Green area was small too right behind stage. Very hard to move even in there and of get out to bathrooms , so right before they walk on Kev whips it out and pees in the plastic drum garbage can right in middle of the room and everybody as metal health starts and he walks out. He had a big Kevin grin on and just went about his business. Funny moment.
@@j.reveille6815 i was born in port jefferson, that's incredible my man, i can totally picture kevin doing that
@@johnmiller9219 hey John... Well show was at the village pub as it was called then .closed now after a few name changes. I Saw buck cherry there too. it had good stage mostly local and regional acts but every once in a while a bigger name band would come thru. It was at top of the hill near Tara's inn. It was a great show and it really happened mostly people laughed it was his area anyway but there were some wives and people only passing thru for autograph s and stuff. Friends of the owners....Kevin hood up his hand hand over the pen and says sorry...turns side ways and just starts pissing. It was hilarious no to me. He gave a nod and a smile and walked out the door onto the stage .
@@johnmiller9219 sorry for typos new phone different typing. lol. But you get the picture.
@@johnmiller9219 I'm from Detroit, but moved to Rocky Point L.I. in 1983.
Was lucky enough to see both The Ramones and Frank Zappa in Port Jefferson.
Use to have some great times down there, great memories. Saw Ozzy at The Ritz
in NYC with Brad Gillis and Rudy Sarzo for the Speak of the Devil album.
Randy was never going to realize his potential in QR. They were a Glam Rock party band, nothing special; and similar to other bands in that genre. Ozzy presented an opportunity to pursue his own musical vision, that explains how he blossomed overnight into this musical genius and guitar prodigy. It was there all along, waiting for the right vehicle to express it.
I think your 100% correct. Ive heard Quiet Riot music with Randy on guitar and it just didn't do it for me. Randy joins Ozzy and it was like unleashing a beast within himself. Totally different sound and technically different that the Quiet Riot stuff he'd done.
Yeah I would be sad to when such a driving force goes someplace else to become that which we all knew he was capable of being. I think we are all happy that Randy made that call.
Agreed. Too bad Sharon hired a known manslaughter-er, Andrew Aycock, to be their bus driver. She knew he'd gotten someone killed in (or with) a helicopter and greenlit him being the Ozzy band's bus driver anyway. I'll always hate that guy for destroying one of the most amazing, wonderful musical talents rock music has ever known, the bastard.
If Randy would have stayed with quite riot he would still be with us and I believe that Ozzy wouldn't be half the rockstar that randy made him
Great comment 👍
They opened up for the scorpions on both bands way to the US festival at a community college gymnasium in Grand Junction Colorado ...never will forget it
Great interview. Kevin is a better guy than a lot of people say.
Watched stopped at the exact time...
...what is the rhythmic pattern of a Randy Rhoads guitar solo? I used to play all of them, and not sure what he's saying...
I was wondering the same thing. I went and listened to “don’t know what I want” and thought maybe the verse riff was a little bit similar to Flying High Again but the solo was nothing like Randy’s style.
When I had the QR Japan import CD the included booklet Kevin talked about the songs on the QR CD and mentioned which QR song parts and Randy`s leads were used on which Ozzy`s songs.
And did he imply that they "shared" parts? As in song parts??!!
@@jjwest1272 I listened to "Don't know what I want" and I am shaking my head also
DuBrow is always has such a rapid fire cadence of speech. I seen them 4x. All within a year and half. All post Randy.
yeah..its called cocaine,.,..
I dont get the hate for kevin. he sounds perfectly cordial and reasonable in every interview I've heard. His brother is Terry Dubrow from the real housewives of orange county.
I think he was just misunderstood and people had a strange perception of him
Kevin talked alot of sh*t about other bands and other individual musicians. That's why he got the bad reputation. EGO + COCAINE = A**HOLE. He had alot of cool moments and was genuinely a great guy. I saw them play with Iron Maiden back in 1983. That was my first concert. Kevin was awesome as was the entire band. Kevin also seemed very appreciative of all of us fans and where he was in the moment. I cannot and will not ever forget that about him. He was happy where they were and very engaged with us as a crowd. He left a really good impression on us.
He's always had a strange, off-putting carny aura about him.
Isn't Terry Dubrow the "Botched" cosmetic surgeon guy..?
he’s clearly on a lot of cocaine here
Thank you for this gold🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
i met Dubrow briefly in may 27 1984 @American Rock Festival timberidge Kalamazoo mi. he was just standing there..in the open..drinking a cup of beer and nobody reconized him or was around him. here i am with Kev Dubrow, he takes a sip and asks..'you here to see Ozzy'..i said no. ohh?..'well your here to see Motley Crue then'..no again, im here to see you and Quiet Riot. and he starred at me as if to question why. Kevin seemed dismayed by my answer is what i remember about him.
nice story.....I am sure Kevin was not as obnoxious as he came across in the media with all of those quotes bad mouthing bands
Met him back in the day. Cool guy
Met Kevin at a meet and greet after an arena show. He was very cool. He wore a spandex leppard print outfit and blonde hair.
RIP At 52, you don't party like you did in your 20s.
These interviews are great. Love them all. Very eye opening.
Now THAT was informative!
The biggest prick I've ever met in rock n roll was Kevin in 1985. The nicest guy I met in rock n roll was Kevin in 1999. It was really funny, I ran into Kevin in Las Vegas and we talked for a few minutes then I told him we did meet previously, but I doubt he remembered. I told him it was on the Condition Critical tour. He said, "oh jeeeez, I'm really sorry about that" we both laughed.
His watch stopped when Randy died? Wow. Stuff like that you don't usually hear in interviews.
And when Bernie Tormie joined Ozzy after Randy's death Randy's pedalboard would turn on and off.
I TOTALLY LOVE THAT SONG YOU USE FOR BACKGROUND MUSIC
WHAT A PERFECT WELL THOUGHT OUT CHOICE ... THE EMOTION IN IT IS AWESOME !!!
Do some more lines. My second time attempting to listen to this...shutting it off, again.
Love this channel man. R Rs was a guitar god!
Please put the entire interview up
"I cried real tears."
Back then, they killed it!!
They sure did. There is a hilarious TV concert from like 84/85. It was QR, Molly Hatchet and Joe Walsh. Big fan of MH and Walsh but by that time Metal was king and their careers were tanking. They were a bit cranky with the crowd that was 85% leather and stud wearing metal heads. Walsh was a miserable prick and started mocking the crowd and slipping in snide remarks. He was all pissed off because he wasn't being worshipped and bowed too. I use to have it on VHS and used to watch it for a laugh. The audience had zero interest in his music.
Always .75x speed with Kevin. That's key.
gotcha! good tip
Release the whole interview!!!
If you listen to QR Breaking Up Is A Heartache.
RR has the same Rythm in You Looking At Me
And solo!
Kevin and Randy couldn't been a legendary duo if Randy would've lived.
Randy was the Best!
I love how Dubrow remembered Randy very respectfully, so much so as to not sensationalize him and paint him a saint. I like the real version better Rhoads was unbelievable! Love his playing.
things happen for a reason, and Kevin was the right guy for the gig, sad the way his life ended too, but he is up there jamming with Randy and Frankie. of course Randy is wearing the RNRHOF jacket now.
Nice to hear Kevin later in maturity speaking about everything. In the 80s, unfortunately he was loathed by many because he was always negative in the press, and constantly talked awful of most every other band. I didn't understand it. He's sharp here, nice and a great storyteller.
He said his watch stopped on the time Randy passed. God Bless Them Both.
Kevin had a real ROCK voice. I can’t imagine Quiet Riot without him.
Very interesting comments about Sarzo.
Kevin had no right to feel hurt when Randy left. QR was Randy’s band, DuBrow had no experience as a vocalist or writer, and Randy was arguably the best guitarist in LA. Randy deserved the shot and made the most of it. DuBrow was lucky to have worked with Randy for a short period.
That’s awesome
That's a trip, Kevin's watch stopped when Randy died.
:-0 The big watch stopped on heaven-sent awesome rock guitar talents that day, too.
Best voice in music.. Audio is crap but it's perfect
After Dio , maybe
@@johnf6288 hahahaha probably
Sadly, I wasn’t into Quiet Riot because of Kevin Dubrow, just all the old stories of him being cocky, arrogant and just being a loudmouth just made me not listen to them like that. But I like Carlos Cavazo, he’s a good guitar player. R.I.P Randy Rhoads.
You must not be talking about when Quiet Riot came out and was popular.
Those stories didn't come out til years later. All you heard early on, was fluff pieces in all the magazines.
I don't understand that it's not like it affects you who cares
@@gregc8483 people are stupid it's like they knew this dude yeah if you need a back ground check before you listen to a band just so stupid
@@ellamcclanahan9811 Yeah, that’s why I said “all the old stories” because the way they portrayed him made me not want to listen to their music. Obviously they have great songs.
Sadly ?
I listened to the song he mentioned about randy using his riff behind a solo but it doesn't sound familiar.
It’s really hard to understand Kevin in some parts. Maybe Subtitles would help.
Fast talkin' guy I guess.
You can slow down the speed of the video on youtube. Problem solved.
Metal Health complete game changer such a super cool album. Sad though Kevin took a lot of shots throughout the years some not self-inflicted either he did not have an easy go of success after the first big metal health year
Yeah Robin I always liked Mental Health seems a lot people don’t like it..
Love the album, great music. But it was a cover album.
Quite Riot & ozzy with Randy they got songs in my top 500 of All-time
So which Ozzy song was it? I couldn’t figure it out.
there is a website that connects all of the riffs and ideas Randy took with him and turned into masterpieces with Bob Daisley
@@Dave_Wight_The_Rock_Oracle Thx.
He was so obviously coked out during this interview. Another great talent cut down by addiction.
I remember back around '92 when Quiet Riot played in Seattle at one of the top club level venues called Rock Candy. I spent the majority of that night next door at the Off Ramp cocktail lounge but then I decided to go peek in on Quiet Riot's set. Talk about poor timing, Seattle at that point in time was the world wide capital of rock music and it certainly didn't have anything to do with butt rock. Kevin Dubrow had probably the toughest set I ever saw in regards to crowd behavior. %90 of those in attendance were just there to laugh at Quiet Riot's immense decline. Beers and towels got thrown at Dubrow until finally one or the other hit him in the head and knocked off his hair piece! That humiliation put an end to the show.
Randy didn't want to join Ozzy initially. But his mother told him he had to take this chance because it might lead to bigger and better opportunities. No one knew how big those albums would turn out to be.
What Ozzy song is he talking about in reference to "Don't Know What I Want"? I don't hear any resemblance to any Ozzy song.
They were playing the opening barre chords to Crazy Train in one of their songs live but I haven't listened to the one he mentioned yet but I assumed that's what he meant.
There's a QR song called I believe "Kiss of Death" that Randy used the chords for in the Ozzy B- Side "You Looking at Me, Looking at You". As someone else mentioned, in Randy's live solo with QR you can hear parts of Crazy Train and Dee.
I just double checked and it is "Kiss of Death" look for it on youtube and you'll hear it's basically the same song as "You looking at Me"..as far as the chords go.
@@LairoftheAlchemist You're right. Thanks for the info. Not sure why Kevin said it was "Don't Know What I Want".
Yeah, not only did Randy go, but Rudy went with him…. and now tho Rudy has finally returned (again) Carlos ain’t there, and both Butch and Frankie are up in Rock n roll heaven… not to say the other guys they’ve hired aren’t decent vocalists, they are, it’s just they’re never gonna quite be able to do tracks from the three albums with the classic lineup.
Can’t believe it’s been 14 years… and to think he perished almost a full week before they found him…. 😭😞🤷🤷
I really would like to know what Rudy did so wrong to make Kevin hate him with a passion.
I never quite got that either, but I think it was mutual--(my understanding) is Rudy wasn't into the hard partying, though he curiously remained cordial with Frankie (who was known to be Kevin's co-conspirator when it came to doing drugs).
The partying eventually turned Carlos away as well, and he has hinted at that in a number of interviews, and finally opened up about it in a very recent one.
I am unclear why Carlos and Rudy haven't put anything together of their own since their families have been close for decades with their brothers playing together in the band Hurricane. It might just be that Carlos feels that QR isn't the same with a different line-up even though his reasons for leaving back in the day included the partying issue (which he seems to imply was more Frankie's doing than Kevin's....His statement is along the lines of (I am paraphrasing not quoting) Some other person I am not comfortable naming was a bad influence on Kevin and that interfered with the friendship I had with Kevin).
That's all I have to offer. Maybe somebody knows more about it, and specifically more about Kevin and Rudy.
He hinted around about it. pretty much called him lazy, didn't want to put in the time/non contributor and just wanted the quick and easy way to a record deal and the money.
@@vincentgarzoli3197 thx for writing this, i always likes Carlos' playing but never really looked into him/followed him. Rudy I kept tabs as he is such a pro and reliable person. does his job solidly
It's funny, he mentions the group Angel because he reminds me of Frank DiMino a little bit.
I never realized how much Kevin Dubrow looks like his brother until I saw this thumbnail.
Loved RR with QR, but honestly he was a better fit with Ozzy and Carlos Cavazo was the better fit for QR. That they both had huge success was nice to see for both of them.
I heard once quiet riot happened the labels began to sign every metal band they could. Montley crew interview I think.
The opposite is true: Metal Health hit #1 in 1982, so the record companies went and signed every hair metal band on Sunset.
9:35 *I just listened to "Don't know what I want," and I couldn't hear any obvious rhythm pattern that sounded like anything on Ozzy's first 2 albums. It sounds very power chordish... basically like any cheesy metal tune.*
Anyone read Sarzo’s story that Randy died fighting the pilot? Supposedly this tour member was suicidal and was able to steal this guys fully fueled plane. Randy wouldn’t be caught dead in that thing. He wasn’t a good pilot but Randy supposedly went when the guy says his ex is on her way, and wouldn’t it be funny if I got that plane and took out her, Ozzy, me everyone. Well Randy didn’t think he was joking and went along. This guy who told Sarzo he saw the plane dipping and flying erratic then toward the bus. Last thing he saw was Randy causing the plane to veer and only clip the Bus. What an interesting read! Makes more sense than the first story. I never believed that. He was drug free and alcohol free as well post mortem.
Id love to see the alternative history were randy doesn't join ozzy, and stays with quiet riot. Randy doesn't die and just writes killer music with Kevin.
we all would now, but those first two albums were so great with the Blizzard of Ozz band. Not sure how much he grows into the player he came as quickly without the mentoring of Bob Daisley
Met him once in a one off show in Appleton, Wi. cool guy, Franki Banali didn't like the Drum pedal setup they gave him. Used our Drummer's Kick pedals.
Randy Rhoads. End of story.
Kevin just told me it was ozzy i dont know ;) thinking back that did sound like quiet riot :)
I don't believe he wrote any guitar parts of Randy Rhodes
That’s not exactly what he said…. He came up with chord progression for a solo section of a quiet riot song which he was in and then a few yrs later randy used it with ozzy behind new solo section for ozzy. Not that hard to believe.
@@j.reveille6815 sorry but even if that's what he said, o don't believe Randy needed his help. It would be like Robert Plant saying he wrote a chord progression for Jimmy Page. So I am sorry but if you believe him good for you I certainly don't
@@crusheverything4449 again someone who doesn't play guitar, will not write chord progressions for someone as talented as Randy was. Give it some thought. Even Ozzy is stupid enough to say he wrote any guitar parts for Randy. Again it would be like Roth saying he wrote any Van Halen guitar parts.
I think he said that he wrote a pattern, like a rhythm pattern behind a guitar solo. Someone should check the song he mentions and see what he's talking about.
@@bobhalford again a chord pattern, progression are the same thing. Why would Randy need someone who doesn't play guitar write his chords. Yet Randy who was a teacher who studied music, is quite capable of doing it himself. Lyrics absolutely anything musically I call BS.
You can't call the band Quiet Riot without Randy Rhoads. Changes band name from DuBrow back to Quiet Riot..without Randy Rhoads.
Not in LA he couldn’t because it was known as Randy’s band and would be false advertising to the locals is what he meant.
But once they made it out of LA It didn’t matter to anyone.
he got Randy's sign off
Man DuBrow is full of himself. As Nikki said his heads getting so big it's growing through his hair
Acredito muito mais nos sentimentos de Kevin Dubrow em relação à Randy Rhoads,do que os sentimentos de Ozzy Osbourne.
Acredito que Randy voltaria ao Quiet Riot e o faria algo igual ou superior ao que o Van Halen se tornou.
Unbelievable
You almost need to slow this way down for it to be decipherable.
Fact is, Randy created all of Ozzy’s greatest music and lyrics (some by Lemmy K), which we wouldn’t have had Randy stayed with Quiet. Yes, there’s a perfect reason that Ozzy couldn’t do crap before Randy, did wonders with Randy, then survived on luck and fumes after Randy died.
Bob Daisely wrote 90% of all lyrics for Ozzy from Blizzard of Oz through No More Tears. Lemmy wrote maybe 5 songs with Ozzy. This is well documented. I love Randy but to dismiss what Jake E. Lee brought to the mix and even Zakk is kind of absurd. I agree Diary is Ozzys best album...but he definitely put out some stellar music right up until about 91 or so. Just my opinion....so don't think Im trying to start some pissing match with you.
Everybody that played with Ozzy after Randy has been a blurry spin-off of Randy.
Except that he peaked with the Jake albums.
@@theSword- That is a fair statement. I trust we all associate those first two albums as the ones that established Ozzy's solo brand apart from Sabbath, and obviously Randy (and Daisley) had significant roles in the creation of that music, therefore everything (and everyone) that followed were committed to following the template of those songs--There was no chance that Sharon would allow Ozzy to break the mold of that kind of success!
Randy was icing….DELICIOUS icing but Bob was the cake.
Thank God Randy left QuietRiot to work with Ozzy. QR were pretty awful, and Dubrow’s voice was largely the reason why. Meanwhile, Randy’s work with Ozzy was historic.
Randy was not allowed to write the music he wanted with QR despite it being his band, the producer and label wanted pop rock with less guitar focus. This is why he was able to use some of his riffs and turn them into masterpieces with Bob Daisley
Yeah, back in the mid 90`s I finally found a quiet riot Japan import CD and wasn't blown away. There were 2 songs I like. I don't recall now, CD was stolen over 10 years ago. I remember thinking, Randy was right for leaving. At that time that band was going NO where.
@@johnsmith-ug5tp it was the fact that Rhodes emerged from QR that put the band on the map. Else they’d have been just another minor band
@@Gk2003m Yep, It worked out great for Randy for the time being and great for QR.
Timestamp 1:37. Kevin looks like he could be in Color Me Badd🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw Quiet Riot open for someone, I don’t remember who, on tour after Metal Health was released. I loved the band until I saw them live. I thought they were ok musically, but I just didn’t like DuBrow live. He didn’t sing good. I saw them another time and he was better but still not great. The band was better than he was. Very impressed with Frankie though
Carlos Cavaso is a way under rated guitarist !!!!
Not having been a QR fan, I didn't know Kevin's back story. It's cool that he was a photographer. I would like to see his work.
Is it just me or does Kevin sound coked out in this interview?
Of course he is coked out he would die of a heart attack from it soon after this interview.
He always said he hated Coke but loved the way it smelled…
@@Drfrostybrew You can't do the booger sugar after 50. Heart can't take it
Yep,. he's blabbing pretty quick here.
“Sound” lol
Wish he stayed with Quiet Riot , they treat him better and he would still be alive
Metal Health is a great album and a few other songs after that album. He was like Nugent, after awhile the over the top, loud and running the mouth in your face attitude is entertaining to a point and then it gets old. A quote from a writer that reviewed condition critical wrote, they should have named this album condition terminal. haha
It IS sad . Randy would probably still be alive today .
Quiet Riot with Randy Rhoads wasn't anywhere. There are a bunch of videos on youtube with Randy in QR. The songs suck. No where near as good as Blizzard or Diary. That not only my opinion but also the opinion of Mrs. Rhoads. She said herself that the songs weren't really that good. Now Randy with Ozzy, Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. Totally different story. Randy totally shined and proved he was a world class musician,
