November 28, 2007, 16 years ago
JEFF SCOTT SOTO (TALISMAN, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JOURNEY) has issued the following statement regarding to the passing of QUIET RIOT frontman Kevin DuBrow:
''I met Kevin back in 1986 when Quiet Riot were on the bill with us (Yngwie Malmsteen) for a few shows in the US. He was a funny, high spirited, overall good guy. Through all that he created his image of the 'mouth that roared', I found him to be a very endearing and genuine soul. He's was a saint then and continued to be such a humble person always treating me with absolute respect since day one. I was a Quiet Riot fan when the Metal Health album came out and through knowing Kevin & Co, continued to support the guys and their quest to continue the path they set for themselves from the ground up.
As we drove to soundcheck today here in the UK, I was given the information that Kevin has passed away. My deepest condolences go out to his family, those near and dear and especially to the boys in QR. Kevin leaves us with his legacy of work that we should always remember him by and knowing him, he doesn't want us to be sad for his passing, he'd want us to celebrate by 'screaming until our throats bleed!'.
RIP my friend, we'll meet again!"
