Yea hes a local boy to me and was on a local radio station about a month ago and he sounded incredible.  Too bad I never liked Quiet Riot music but they say hes a great match for them.  Does he have a weight iisue?  That was the only negative i've heard about him.  He doesnt look like the "heroin chic" evidently....  2 months of touring and partying like a rock star should fix him right up!

Having grown up on Quiet Riot, that kid sounds spot on!

Good for him.  Sounds like a good dude and if he can open the eyes of a few younger kids to actual rock (even if QR isn’t your thing) the better we will all be.

Imagine being his dad and telling your Gen X friends that your son is the new lead singer of Quiet Riot....

Although on second thought - it's possible his parents are millennials and prefer the gloom and doom of 90's music.

The concert tour is heavy in overseas travel.

I like Quiet Riot's two big albums, Metal Health and Condition Critical. Also a big fan of Slade, the band QR got two of their hits from.

QR should be like the Temptations and keep replacing old members with young members until there is just one original member left and he is 80 years old.

Yep, heard him the other day as they announced it. If you did not know you most likely would not know.

Kevin DuBrow was the last original member. He died in 2007.

Edit- a couple of originals are still alive but they haven't  played in the band for decades.

He was for a while.  I don’t think he’s been with them in a number of years though.

I ran into Rudy Sarzo in the American Airlines lounge a couple of years ago and we had a brief chat.

He was touring with the latest incarnation of Quiet Riot and headed to some small town in Ohio.

Hate to say this, but he's going to have a short career singing that way, just like all the guys from my generation who were completely fried by their late 30s.

Hope he has fun though and creates some good memories for people.
