Quiet Riot - Metal Health w/ James Durbin

[@timsears951]

RIP Frankie Banali...you kept the light shined on Quiet Riot as long as you could ....Kevin Dubrow would have been proud of you ...but Im sure you will tell him when you see him....thanks for the great music Frankie ..

[@Floppy_Bacon]

James Durbin is a PHENOMENAL singer!! This man has so much talent it's ridiculous. For the record, James definitely should have won American Idol that year.

[@ChessJunky509]

😅🤣😂🤣😅😆😄🙃 Durbin ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!! You're a funny guy though ... Thanks for the laugh.

[@Floppy_Bacon]

@@ChessJunky509 Your Opinion

[@ChessJunky509]

I saw him with Quiet Riot in 2018 ... Dude SUCKED SO BAD most people were just sitting down quietly and patiently waiting for Dee Snider whom QR opened for ... It was fucking sad 😶He sounds better in this video though... He apparently was having a good night at this show because when I saw them he SUCKED SO MUCH ASS!

[@JohnHernandez-vf2nx]

James has such a powerhouse of a voice. It's very refreshing to see this in this time and decade. Kevin Dubrows voice is/ was a one of a kind. I think anyone who has tried to do a cover of QR or any of their songs will agree that they are not easy. Hats off to this guy.

[@HoonaticsMCNiko23Crowe]

This guy can literally fill any vocal spot in old school and new band... He does Muse perfectly

[@QUADclanZA]

He should have won Idols of whatever that shit show was & he deserves all the success in the world - great dad, great husband & awesome role model for kids

[@gabbydeweese2111]

You can't find a sweeter guy. Good family man. I have had to talk to him a lot when he wasn't so busy with Quiet Riot. He puts everything he has got into his performances.

[@richiemetal259]

Great singer, he really was born to sing metal songs!

[@scottwright388]

I just today discovered the album road rage...blew me away.

[@greenbaysixxstring5008]

Just seen them tonight, I was completely blown away and I've been a fan since 83. Kevin's mom wanted Frankie to continue on with Quiet Riot so I'm all for it.

[@jasonmerry6713]

Just caught their show up in Litchfeild Maine. Holy shit Durban is a fucking monster. Best singing I've heard in a while. Much success to you sir, you definitely have the goods.

Kevin's voice was epic and powerful....but I will say this Durbin cat is the best guy they have had outside of Kevin

[@uncledavesfrontier6846]

He should have won American idol!

[@Rocksite1]

I thought he was pitchy there, although with amazing potential. This pretty much nails it, IMHO.

[@empireblack2351]

@@Rocksite1 Is that what you thought dawg. (have an original thought randy jackson lol)

[@calihipechik7657]

For sure, thanks for saying this! I was just reminiscing about that season of American idol. My 2 kids (young teens then) and I were rooting for him from the jump & I took them to the post season10 Top 12 live performance and we're blown away by his luce stage presence. Scotty McCreary had an usually developed voice for a 16yr old for sure, and I'm not dissing country music when I say this, but James had the back story, the range, the performance skills, stage presence, likeability and VOICE to become a real star. His departure from the competition was a tear jerker for all 3 of us.

[@levihart386]

Kevin Dubrow was one of the best singer o Quiet Riot but the boy can sing but Kevin had a powerful vocals and you can't replace a ledgend

[@metallion0738]

This young man is not replacing Kevin at all, he is just keeping QR moving and is doing great job in my opinion.

[@juanbarraza1324]

Kevin Dudrow 4 ever HE won,t be replace for nobody he was UNIQUE

[@chopplolo72]

Seen these guys a couple weeks ago and this new kid nailed it on vocals.

[@rickwhitaker348]

Best part is that James still has the Dirty Penny patch on his vest!!!!! Love it.

[@realjimmyd]

He actually makes it his own damn bravo 😎👌

[@angeltalley1671]

I wish I could see him in concert he's so amazing

[@robmccullough9193]

They are playing in LA!

[@HoonaticsMCNiko23Crowe]

This dude is perfect for that role

[@Johntheripper87]

I came in here like nothing beats Kevin. James is awesome. Wow!

[@ChrisPC11]

I saw QR w/ James earlier this week for the first time and he was nice enough to take a quick photo w/ me and two other band members (can't remember their names). Really nice guys. They're super fantastic live. Gotta hand it to them for keeping QR alive and rockin' !!!!!

[@jamisondean9385]

Cant remember their names cause they werent original members anyway so who cares? QR lost their pop years ago and they sure aint gonna make a come back as a cover band!

[@ChrisPC11]

Jamison Dean Actually "I" do. And their names are Frankie, Chuck, Alex, and James.

[@lindsayblaz1]

Aw! You lucky luck!

[@Maddogg-hg5me]

I bought the One Night In Milan live CD/DVD because it was 5 bucks. It had the lineup of Frankie Banali, Chuck Wright, Alex Grossi and James Durbin. Is it the same as the Frankie Banali, Rudy Sarzo, Carlos Cavazo and Kevin DuBrow lineup? Absolutely not. But does it sound good? Absolutely. James is no longer in the band, unfortunately, and Frankie passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2020. They recruited Jizzy Pearl as their singer and former Type O Negative drummer Johnny Kelly to play drums. Rudy Sarzo rejoined now so there's still at least one member of the Metal Health lineup in the band but, even if there wasn't, there are guys left in the band who have history with Quiet Riot and they have just as much right as Rudy or Carlos to use the name. If people are worried about there not being an original member left in the band....well, there hasn't been one left since Kevin died.

[@bobgomez9481]

You're gay for wanting a picture with some TV singer who was not in Quiet Riot and never would or should have been except the world is upside down in 2022.

[@digitalneko7975]

James Durbin will become a household name in the hard rock world. JD, be street and business smart, you got a great future son.

[@jonmallek7746]

[@annaoggier9340]

i am the same way!!!!

[@richardstewart7324]

Was the banger on the show.they prob didnt expect him to make it as far as he did

[@freebirdlaura]

Get it get it get it!!! Scream it James!!!! My mamma always said I was born 10 years late. I think James was born 20 years late. Yet I feel he was born Right On Time!! Best Season of AI!! Heck best season of Any & All TV singing comp shows!!!!

[@michaelhalford9709]

Unfortunately I think he was born 60 years too late. That way he would have been in his 20s in the 80s when he would have written his own ticket in any hard rock metal band. He's a great talent I wish him much success. But in these times.... really?

[@JonnMueller]

Man, such a great performance!!!!!

[@ronnieborchert4709]

When I recorded the Freakshow album with Frankie Banali..He said he would never do Quiet Riot again!!! 7 singers later.

[@kountouriotoukaterina3184]

Amazing singer with wide range of voice.

[@shabeth7773]

Kevin would proud of this kid carrying on QR!!!

[@dennis8309]

No he wouldn't. Kevin sold his soul, and this nobody is faking his way through the song and making money off of others dreams. Dreams that died a long time ago...

[@dennis8309]

@Marcus Guzman - Well first off it's a figure of speech. Second, s guy who slug it out for years, made no money not even off Metal Heath would not be proud of a replacement who sings lyrics that have no actual meaning to him...

[@dennis8309]

@Marcus Guzman - Yes the other replacement guys sucked too. I'm not a fan of imitators, and I'm happy I got to see QR with Kevin. I chatted a bit with him after the show, and he seemed like a good shit. Frankie should have just let it die years ago and gone back to WASP or something different altogether...

[@Fuckyoutube99]

Yeah real proud!! A little American idol bitch took his place

[@dennis8309]

@Trebor Nray - That's all you got, and backed up with nothing to boot?? lol #loser

[@JoeSiegler]

I was a big fan of Kevin, and QR has had QUITE A FEW singers since Kevin's death (Huff, St. John, Vokoun, Pearl, Nicols, Durbin). But James harnesses Kevin really well as is the best of them by far. I was initially turned off by the American Idol connection, as that's so anti-rock and roll to me. But this works.

[@Rockpiggy]

Simply brilliant!

It's a pity he didn't stay in the band, despite the Hollywood cowboys album having only a couple of good songs, road rage was really good

[@jiverdude2775]

IMHO, James has been the best replacement for Kevin, other than Paul Shortino. But that's a different story. QR was a different band with Paul; great job but different. Durbin really holds his own. I'm going to watch AI shows with him. And see what he's doing now...

[@antonc2k3]

Simply good! On the spot! QR is easy for james just as kevin did.. no struggles..

[@Misterguitar]

Jesus Christ, he's going to blow his voice out singing to 26 people. Durbin doesn't hold back.

Original member Frankie Banali was on drums and early bassist Chuck Wright (Before Rudy Sarzo) was on bass.

[@angelacurrie9702]

Thank you, Hadn't heard about the loss of Frankie. Sad to hear.@@zublacus

[@zublacus]

@@angelacurrie9702 Yeah...he was actually being treated for cancer during this tour. BTW..Chuck Wright was the bass player. He played on some tracks on Metal Health. He was actually before Rudy Sarzo. They are in fact on tour in 2023 with 0 original members, so you're not wrong there! I'm afraid that's not uncommon. All the original members of Molly Hatchett are dead, and they still tour.

Quite a few bass players in the 90's. The main ones were Kenny Hillery (91-94), Chuck Wright (The guy in this video from 94-97) and Rudy Sarzo (97>2000's). There were a few touring bass players in 90-91.
