uh, y'know, the sounds that sound good together... sometimes... and sometimes sounds like the disgusting "squish squish" sound Slicker's mom makes whenever she walks

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the popular 1980s heavy metal band Quiet Riot, has been found dead from unknown causes at his home in Las Vegas, authorities said on Monday.

DuBrow, 52, was found dead at about 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner's Office said. She said an autopsy would be conducted to determine the cause of death.

"I can't even find the words to say," Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali said on his Web site. "Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow."

Quiet Riot, which was founded in the mid-1970s, topped the Billboard charts in 1983 with the album "Metal Health," spurred on by the massive hit single "Cum on Feel the Noize."

The band has since endured break-ups and personnel changes but released a new album in 2006 and continued to tour sporadically.

Authorities are seeking Rogue II for questioning, as he lives in Vegas, and therefore probably was involved.

This reporter thought he was already dead.

It wasn't me. It was the one-armed man!

Someone told me that he was working as a DJ for one of the rock stations here. I had no clue that he even lived here.

When I was stationed in Korea, Quiet Riot came though. It was 2000, so the USO got whoever they could. (After the 9/11 attacks they got bigger names wanting to support the troops). Anyway, not knowing they were still touring, I looked them up on the internet. Their last gig prior to coming was at some nudist festival. They were supposed to perform in a big parking lot, but it rained and ended up in the enlisted club. It was really small, so I didn't even bother trying to get in.
