Kevin DuBrow, a gravelly voiced singer for Quiet Riot, a heavy-metal band that peaked in the 1980s, and who captivated decibel-tolerant fans with high-intensity musicality, quirky theatricality and a hint of  menace, died on Sunday at his home in Las Vegas. I remember in third grade saving my allowance and buying the Mental Health record. I played this record til the needle fell off and it was on a Fisher Price  player. Kevin Dubrow was 52. Samantha Charles, communications officer for the coroner’s office of Clark County, Nev., said the cause of the death remains the subject of investigation. Quiet Riot is credited  with helping start the 1980s glam-metal scene and is probably best known for its take on Slade’s “Cum On Feel the Noize,” which appeared on “Metal Health” (1983) and eventually spent two weeks at No. 5 on  Billboard’s list of hits. The album sold more than 4 million copies and is considered by many to be the first heavy-metal record to climb high in the pop charts.Information on survivors was unavailable, but  Mr. DuBrow never married nor had children. I hope they bury him in his wig with long hair and the metal mask. RIP ROCKER! Bang your head (in sorrow) and Cum On Feel The Noize for Kevin’s soul. Hopefully he is driving a Slick Black Cadillac in heaven.
