33. I know you can't see my face, but I promise you this look is not one of surprise. And for those of you referring to Dubrow as a "heavy metal God" I think you must have been unconscious during the 80's. He couldn't sing, (he screamed) he couldn't play, and he couldn't write. His talent was that he was a good promoter and he had a personality that lingered. Quiet Riot could not be called heavy metal after the departure of Randy Rhoads, what they became was a party band, and then a joke.
Bottom line: Kevin Couldn't Cope.
Too bad so sad!

35. It's really sad when these rockers are dying of drugs! Maybe he was fighting demons that no one was aware of? Regardless-with all that is happening rumors set aside-its time to think of the family and our prayers are with them.

37. You people are absolutely cruel. It's not the person who dies who hurts, it's the ones he left behind. If you can't manage to have some sympathy that a person is dead (regardless of how he died)... at least, have an ounce of decency and think about the family that was, no doubt, devasted by his death.

Every single one of us will be affected at one point - by the death of someone we love.

So how dare you type the things you type. I am ashamed of the human race and feel dirty for just reading the comments "people" have left on here.

41. Dude never grew up!
To bad, Kevin was a character.
Didn't think he was that big of an idiot.
It was always fun seeing Kevin, Rudy, Carlos and Randy at the Starwood in the day!
Best to Rudy and the guys RIP!

Great memories,
sad sad ending.

43. I must say that I agree with 24kt Beauty. I thought the racial remarks made when that rapper died was terrible. I don't see any blacks making racial remarks about this guy. Something to stop and think about.
