(BW&BK) Quiet Riot Allstars on Rock and A Hard Place TV show: Quiet Riot vs Air Supply Premiers Tuesday, November 25th on Direct TV's 101 Network. Frankie Banali explains how this came about: "In January 2008, I was approached by the talent agency that books the artists that appear on the Meat Loaf-hosted Rock And A Hard Place music game show for Direct TV's channel 101 Network. They asked me to put together a three person group to appear on the game show. My first reaction was to make sure that they were aware that Kevin DuBrow had passed away in November 2007 just two months prior to receiving this request.

They explained that they were aware of Kevin's passing and offered their condolences, but still wanted to know if I would put something together for the appearance. My first question was to know the object of doing the show. They informed me of the show's format and that the winning dollar amount would be donated to a charity of my choice. That being the case I made sure that they understood that if I were to agree they would have to bill it as the Quiet Riot Allstars rather that just as Quiet Riot. I told the agency that I would have to get back to them with my decision.

I gave careful consideration to what sort of a Quiet Riot Allstar lineup I would put together. At no time did I consider including the so called 'Metal Health' lineup for this appearance. This was based on many reasons but the most obvious ones were the great deal of speculation and fanning of the fires for Quiet Riot to continue with a singer to replace Kevin. That was not an option or a consideration on my part from the moment that Kevin passed away and I still feel that way. I did not want to give anyone the impression that this could be the precursor to a reunion. - more on this story
