Queen is one of the quintessential rock bands of the latter part of the twentieth century.

Kevin Dubrow Dead at 52

Remember Quiet Riot? These guys got my attention in the early eighties mainly because Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Randy Rhoads played with them. They were one of the pretty cheesy early eighties hair metal bands. The actually put on a pretty good show and had some catchy tunes to headbang to.

At 52, Kevin Dubrow was found dead earlier this week at his Las Vegas home. The cause of death hasn’t been announced yet if it has even been determined.
