The Final Roar of Kevin DuBrow: Quiet Riot’s ‘Rehab’ (GQCP-10012)
Today’s entry spotlights a poignant and powerful release from American heavy metal legends Quiet Riot. We are looking at the 2006 Japanese pressing of “Rehab,” released on Hands On Productions with the catalog number GQCP-10012. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Released in October 2006, “Rehab” holds a somber significance in the band’s history. It stands as the final studio album released during the lifetime of their iconic vocalist, Kevin DuBrow, who passed away in November 2007. It captures the band in a revitalized state, centered around the core “Metal Health” era duo of DuBrow and drummer Frankie Banali.
For this album, the lineup was bolstered by the addition of legendary bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder) and guitarist Neil Citron. The result is a mature, heavy, and groove-oriented American metal album. DuBrow’s unique, powerful shout remains undiminished, perfectly complemented by Banali’s tight, distinctive drumming (which features impressive percussive elements) and Franklin’s strong bass lines.
A major highlight for classic rock fans is the deep involvement of the “Voice of Rock,” Glenn Hughes. Hughes co-wrote several tracks (including “Blind Faith” and “In Harms Way”) and provides guest vocals and bass on the cover of Spooky Tooth’s “Evil Woman.” The album also experiments with new textures, such as the use of female backing vocals on “Old Habits Die Hard.”
As a Japanese release, GQCP-10012 offers exclusive value to collectors. It includes the bonus track “The Truth” as the 12th song. This album is an essential document for fans, serving as a high-quality final testament to the vocal power of Kevin DuBrow and the enduring energy of Quiet Riot.
