MÖTLEY CRÜE Bassist Remembers KEVIN DUBROW

November 27, 2007

MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx has released the following statement to Saviours Of Rock regarding the passing of QUIET RIOT singer Kevin DuBrow:

"I was thinking about sitting in Kevin's apartment in 1979. I had just been over to [late QUIET RIOT/OZZY OSBOURNE guitarist] Randy Rhoads' (who still lived with his mom at the time) learning some of their songs. Randy called Kevin while I was there and told him they should get me to be the bass player in QUIET RIOT. I passed... 'cause we all had a destiny.

"Today is a sad day.

"[Kevin] always did what he loved most — music — and always said what was on his mind. And that is the measure of a man.

"He will be missed.

"I'm grateful to have those early memories.... before the fame, just kids with dreams.

"I send my love and support to his family and friends... I know this is a hard time."

Watch QUIET RIOT "performing" the song "Party All Night" on a TV show in 1984:
