So now Jizzy Pearl is the new vocalist for Quiet Riot and they plan to release a new studio album next year. C’mon guys this is a joke. It was bad enough when Frankie Banali re-booted the band a couple of years ago as the only original member but they are now two vocalists removed from Kevin De Brow.
Don’t give me “we are trying to keep Kevin’s legacy alive in performing the music” bullshit either. Frankie uses the band name for a bigger paycheck because it carries more weight then Frankie’s Friend’s or some other monicker. Yes he has the right to do this but the usual outrage from fans normally means they care more about the band’s good name then some of the people on stage.
As for Jizzy. Well Love/Hate were a great band and Wasted In America is a classic. He now tours that as the sole original member. We have had Ratt- the Jizzy years, L.A Guns- the Jizzy years and now Quiet Riot- the Jizzy years. C’mon for fuck’s sake. The guy is talented and needs to eat, I get it. Better make sure there’s food on the rider because I won’t be contributing to his sandwich. What’s next, Vixen- the Jizzy years. Oh wait, Doug Pinnick has that gig.
