(Classic Rock) Quiet Riot's Frankie Banali has called vocalist Jizzy Pearl "the real deal" after the singer took over frontman duties following the departure of Scott Vokoun.

The band have had several vocalists since the death of Kevin DuBrow in 2007, the last being Vokoun who left he band in 2013, but speaking about Pearl, Banali tells MLive.com: "The real story begins when we asked Jizzy to come on board. We went with a pro - Jizzy is the real deal.

"I am very conscious of Kevin DuBrow's legacy and the legacy of Quiet Riot. You can never replace a singer like the late, great Kevin DuBrow who was the total rock and roll package. He was also my best and closest friend, so that plays into it as well. To me, it has to sound like Quiet Riot - it has to have that sound and energy.

"Jizzy is doing a fantastic job of keeping the spirit, music and sound of Kevin's vocals alive while bringing his own sound to the band, which blends really well." He had more to say.
