Rewind With Kevin DuBrow, 7/19/01

Put his foot in his mouth = Of course. Just read almost any interview I did in the 80’s.

Cried during a movie = Only if the girl I was with wouldn’t blow me.

Been molested while in jail = No, surprisingly my dance card was quite empty.

Jerked off in an adult cinema = No, but I do like to sit in the back row with a squirt gun filled with hand lotion!

Seen Mike Fasano hide a soda can with his nuts = I have not yet had the privilege. But I’m sure it will be the highlight of the tour!

Smoked pot with Chip Z’Nuff = Believe it or not, I have never smoked pot in my life. But, if I was going to I can’t think of a nicer more cool person to do it with. Chip is a gentleman and has been more than gracious to me on this tour.

Eaten out a chick on the rag = Many, many times. I just lick the top part!!

Shit his pants = As a matter of fact, almost. Here’s the story. Quiet Riot was playing the House of Blues in L.A. a few years back and a couple of days prior I had been partying quite heavily. I drove to L.A. from Vegas drinking tons of water trying to rehydrate myself. I had lunch at HOB that day and had more water. Later that night I had dinner with Jasmine St. Clair and she wanted some wine so I had a glass also. Well, that was all my body needed. You know sometimes after a drinking bender you get bad gas and the runs?…………Well, we start the show and every other step I take on stage is like hitting a fart pedal! Now this kinda felt good until third song into the show I realize that I’m all out of air (if you get my meaning) and things could get messy! Well I was very, very uncomfortable, I stood fairly still till we got to “The Wild And The Young” in which my oh so talented bandmates do a fairly long improvisational section where I usually leave the stage. At this time I walk over to the guy that used to work for us and tell him to make sure not to let the stage door close as I’m going to the dressing room for a moment. The dressing room at the L.A. House of Blues is on the third floor so I run as fast as I can (under the circumstances, not that fast) I do my business, rush back down and low and behold, the stage door is locked! I slam it a few times to no avail. No one can hear my screams. My cue to sing is almost upon us so I rush down one more floor to the audience, run through the crowd, jump up on stage and bada bing, I sing. Needless to say the guy doesn’t work for us any more!

Had a nice word to say about Dana Strum = Yeah. Fuck him.

Had a finger in his ass = In Dana’s? Are you kidding?

1984?

be bald. Have you ever felt like just saying fuck it, shave your head, and be done with it?

Rock Never Stops Tour or the Glam Slam Metal Jam = Glam Slam. It’s more organized and more fun.

Slick Black Cadillacs or Little Red Corvettes = I used to have a little red corvette but Slick black Cadillac paid for it.

Mötorhead or Mötley Crüe = Motley Crue. All the 80’s bands should stick together. I buy American!

QR III or Down To The Bone = Down to the bone. A lot of people didn’t really get DTTB but I dug it. I thought it was really musical and adventurous. QR 111 was such an abomination because of the piece of shit producer Spencer Proffer. I still have demos of the 10 songs the prick wouldn’t except for QR111. They are much better tunes than what ended up on the record and they are guitar songs, not keyboard songs. The problem was that he wanted to co- write the songs so he could squeeze more money out of us in the form of songwriting royalties and publishing dollars. And trust me, this guy couldn’t write songs to save his life!

KNAC or HardRadio = Any radio format that will play QUIET RIOT, especially songs from “Guilty Pleasures.”

Touring in Europe or Touring in Japan = Apples and oranges, really. The Japanese fans have always treated us very well. They are funny at the shows though. Even if they really love a song, after it’s played, they applaud feverishly for five seconds, then stop — not a whisper! Europeans, depending on the country, can sometimes have that “show me” attitude. They can be hard to read, but overall our experiences there have been memorable ones.

Chicken Vindaloo or Chicken Pot Pie = Vindaloo. I love Indian food. It doesn’t always love me, though!

Animal Rights Activists or Big Game Hunters = Animal Rights Activists. That game hunter mentality escapes me.

Lonn Friend or Paul Gargano = Paul Gargano. At least he doesn’t slam 80’s bands all the time and say how cheesy they are.

Riki Rachtman or Jim-Bob Dwarf = Riki used to let me in the Cat club for free which I liked and Jim Bob was cool when we met in Chicago, but it’s still like saying Goober or Gomer.

11. Are you surprised Warrant has lasted this long on the tour so far?

by giving them technical instructions?

videos.” You get the idea.

Cocaine is = That I still do it. I don’t.

Ozzy Osbourne is = That I don’t like him. I do.

Going to church is = That it will save you without true belief. It won’t.

Dana Strum is = That he has some redeeming qualities. He doesn’t.

Rikki Rockett is = Related to Johnny Rockett. He’s not (he’s vegetarian!)

Life on a tour bus is = That it’s one big party. It’s not. It’s a big expensive bore that breaks down all the time.

David Lee Roth is = That he is washed up. He’s not. He still blows away every front man out there.

Gerri Miller is = Out of the business.

Enuff Z’Nuff is = They don’t have what it takes to make it. They do. They are really good band and really great people and the deserve much better in their career than what they have gotten.

I wouldn’t be doing this today if not for Rod Stewart and I always wanted to meet him. I got the chance in ’85 an I thought he was very pompous. Now this is coming from the king of pompous, me. I would love to meet him again and have the chance to really talk to him.

time you did them:

Nicotine = Never. Never smoked in my life. I hate cigarettes. Nothing like seeing a beautiful woman light one up. Yuck!

Pot = Never. I hate smoke of any kind and I see the effect pot has on people I know very well. They sleep constantly and can’t remember a thing.

Hashish = I ate Hash brownies in the 80’s one time. (once was enough)

Cocaine = I did enough blow to support a small South American country. I stopped almost 2 years ago, I don’t recall the date.

Crystal Meth = Never. I like my teeth too much and tweekers drive me crazy.

Acid = Never. I’ve always been sick and twisted enough without any help.

Crack = Never. But for those who do, try the crack lite. Less filling. Fewer calories.

Heroin = Never. I hate needles.

GHB = Never. That’s the date rape drug, right? I just use my horns and pitch fork. That works well enough.

Anthrax = No thoughts. Scott Ian seems like a nice guy on TV.

Cinderella = I’m a fan. Eric and I dated the same girl.

Julliet = A Tampa, FL band I produced in the 80’s. The album turned out really good (Frankie played drums on it) but they got signed to Enigma, did a different album produced by the guitarist of Survivor and mine got shelved. It sold about 3 copies and the label folded. Tampa was a really fun place to party!

Donnie Vie = I have a soft spot for talented people with big personalities and Donnie is definitely one. He cracks me up and says some things that remind me of me a long time ago. (No, not those things!)

Staind = Use a spot remover!

Ratt without Stephen Pearcy = Like Cheetos without cheese.

Warrant = They have a much more positive attitude than they did on the ’98 Rock never stops tour. Having said that, I hardly ever see them. Musically we come from totally different places so I have no point of reference. The new guys Billy and Mike are cool.

Axl’s new Guns ‘N Roses = A perfect example of career self destruction. I should know!

Ted Nugent = I respect Ted’s right to be Ted. but I disagree with almost all of his views. Ted, please don’t put an arrow up my ass!

Noddy Holder = Great voice, good writer, currently retired. Thanks for the song!
