Quiet Riot Announce New Tour Dates

Quiet Riot, now featuring 0% members of the original Quiet Riot, have announced a series of live dates for both this year and next.

The group’s current line-up consists of singer Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate), guitarist Alex Grossi (Beautiful Creatures), bassist Chuck Wright (the longest-running member the band has left) and drummer Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative).

In case it isn’t clear from my opening sentence, I’m of the opinion that this band should have ended the second Frankie Banali passed away last August. Seeing Quiet Riot now would be like seeing the version of Guns N’ Roses that made Chinese Democracy WITHOUT Axl Rose. You’d really have to be a hardcore fan to give a shit.
