Maybe it's because Kevin and Quiet Riot have been heroes of mine since I was a kid. Maybe it's because I had the honor of interviewing the man in 2005. Maybe it's because Kevin and the entire QR crew have been exceptionally kind to me at each and every encounter (despite my constant concerns about coming across as nothing but an overgrown fanboy). Regardless, news of Kevin's death is wholly shocking and bizarre to me and I think I'm still in denial about the whole thing.
Part of me wants to write more about the matter, but I find myself hesitant to do so... perhaps because doing so will make it all finally, horribly real. Damn. I can't believe I'll never see another Quiet Riot concert. I can't believe I'll never hear another new Quiet Riot album. I can't believe any of this is actually happening. If anybody is interested in reading my one and only interview with Kevin DuBrow - I've linked it.
