RIP Frankie.
Probably best known for being the drummer of Quiet Riot, also played with at times, W.A.S.P, Dokken, Faster Pussycat etc.
Gone to a better place I am sure!

Sad news indeed! He was %110 professional musician. Great drummer.

First 2 albums are amazing!  They are getting pricey, if you want Quoet Riot I and II 

on lap, better grab em. Bootleg cds sound good as well.

 

RIP , brother, you are missed!

Frankie had tremendous dedication to his work and the band. I recall seeing a documentary about QR after the singer died and how committed Frankie was to keeping everything together.  I wish him peace. 

I saw this yesterday.  I remember seeing quiet riot back in the day.  Not one of my favorite bands, but they put on a good show.
The list of talented musicians leaving this mortal coil grows longer. Ars Longa Vita Brevis!
