Kevin DuBrow

Kevin DuBrow had one of the great brash voices of early-1980s metal, a gritty, confrontational delivery that fit Quiet Riot's party-anthem swagger perfectly. 'Cum on Feel the Noize' and 'Metal Health (Bang Your Head)' are pure adrenaline, and Metal Health hitting number one genuinely kicked open the door for the whole glam-metal wave that followed. DuBrow was famously outspoken, sometimes to his own detriment, but that big personality was inseparable from the music. His death in 2007 was a sad, premature end for a guy who, for one shining moment, helped make metal the biggest thing on the charts.

Kevin DuBrow (October 29, 1955 - November 19, 2007) was an American rock singer and songwriter, best known as the frontman of the heavy metal band Quiet Riot. He led the band through its 1983 album Metal Health, which became the first heavy metal album to reach number one on the Billboard 200, powered by hits such as 'Cum on Feel the Noize.' DuBrow died in 2007 of a cocaine overdose at his home in Las Vegas.
