FRANKIE BANALI - "I Am No Longer A Member Of The Group FREAKSHOW; My Name And Image Are Being Used Without My Permission"
September 29, 2009, 15 years ago
Drummer Frankie Banali (QUIET RIOT) has issued the following announcement:
"Please understand that I am no longer a member of the group FREAKSHOW, and have not been since at least July of 2009, nor will I tour with the band or ever record with this entity in the future.It has come to my attention that both my name and image are being used and bantered around without my permission or consent as if I am continuing with the band which is misleading to the fans and anyone else.
I am not being paid my rightful and legal share of my royalties by the band for the iTunes sales nor am I receiving any accounting which further compounds the situation.
Let me also add that not only am I not associated with Freakshow but neither is Tony Franklin beyond the recording of the record, yet both are names continued to be misused in an attempt to sell this product as if we have further association.
I am not a participating member of Freakshow, plain and simple."
