QUIET RIOT - Drummer Frankie Banali Posts Pics From NAMM
January 24, 2008, 16 years ago
QUIET RIOT drummer Franke Banali has uploaded a batch of pictures shot at this year's winter NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants) convention, which took place January 17th - 20th in Anaheim, CA.
Check out the photos at this location.
Banali recently issued the following:
"Banali has issued the following update:"I have been approached to see if I would be interested in contacting Rudy Sarzo and Carlos Cavazo and to audition singers for Quiet Riot.
I have also been approached to see if I would be interested in contacting and re-forming the version of Quiet Riot that included Paul Shortino, Carlos Cavazo and Sean McNabb.
Let me make this very simple and perfectly clear. While I am still actively involved in the business interests of Quiet Riot and will continue in that capacity, I reject any and all suggestions to have Quiet Riot continue as a live performing entity.
My friendship, love and respect for Kevin DuBrow as well as my personal love and affection for Kevin's mother and his family makes it inconceivable for me to ever entertain any ovation to reform or to continue Quiet Riot. Kevin was too important to go on without him. It would also be a disrespect to the fans who have supported Quiet Riot for nearly 25 years.
I thank everyone for the wonderful and sometimes unpredictable adventure that I was able to share as a member of Quiet Riot. The only regret that I have is the loss of Kevin. May he rest in peace.
I now begin life after Quiet Riot."
