Carlos Cavazo on Kevin Dubrow [Deleted Scene from LA METAL SCENE EXPLODES Documentary] 

I never heard one bad thing about Carlos Cavazo back in the 80’s to this day. He seemed like a musician that took his job as a guitarist/musician seriously, and stayed away from the hard parting scenes. Now he seems happy living a regular life.

At 10 years old, Metal Health was my favorite album. It's nice to see Carlos speaking of Kevin with respect and understanding. It's exactly what I would expect from a stand-up guy!

One of the most underrated guitarist of all time.

Carlos Cavazo is a great guy and great guitarrist as well

I met Carlos in a mall, one of the sweetest celebs I’ve ever met. I still have the pic of him and I. I loved that day

I didn't know Carlos was this cool. First class act, a very honest man.

I remember going to see Quiet Riot back in 1985. I was amazed such great talent. Kevin voice was strong. Carlos great feel for the guitar. Rudy did it all. And Frankie wow could he play the drums. RIP Kevin and Frankie

The show I saw when they opened for Black Sabbath Born Again Tour. Wow, words can’t describe it justly. They were so out of control awesome, they had the entire audience cheering and screaming after every song. Dubrow was amazing with his striped microphone and ran around the stage. They came back on for an encore as an opening band- quite a feat. The crowd would NOT let them offstage. They played Slick Back Cadillac as an encore and the crowd went nuts. The crowd went wild for every song because Dubrow’s rambling between the songs got the crowd into a frenzy. They could do no wrong. It was the most rock and roll moment I’ve ever had at a concert, and I’ve seen alot of shows.

Carlos seems like one classy man, in the rock industry, you got some of em, love to have more interviews with this cool guitarist 🍻

Carlos had some great memorable guitar licks. When I was in high school in the 80s you couldn't go to a party without hearing Quite Riots music cranking out and everyone singing to it. Miss the old days

Not only was Carlos great in QR, He was also great on the last Ratt album.

Kevin was clean for ten years when he relapsed his friends in Vegas didn’t even know the secret got out for him when his heart stopped.RIP to the guy who had the only no1 album that represented heavy metal on the charts

Carlos Cavazo is the man, absolute legend.

Carlos Cavazo...HUGELY underrated guitarist!!!

Carlos has always being a A Class act. As a player he filled Randy's place very well. You the man Carlos. Keep rocking man.

He always struck me as a humble and genuine person.

Carlos was a BIG PART of the entire 1980s scene..

Well said, Carlos. We both knew about it, but just didn't seem to ever be out of control. R.I.P. KD

He looks like Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.

Always a class act. Good guy. Great songwriter. Fantastic guitarist!😎

Still a class act. Unfortunately so underrated

Rock and Roll will live forever! 🙏 RIP Kevin

Hail Quiet Riot 🤘🤘Carlos Cavazo is a Great Guitarist and Seems Like a Genuine Dude. He has Class and it truly is a Tragedy How Kevin Dubrow( RIP) passed at a Young age. They made Music That Still Gets Me on My Feet!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

C'est grâce à Carlos Cavazzo que j'ai voulu jouer de la guitare. C'est le 1er guitariste que j'ai vu en live et je m'a suis dit:"putain je veux jouer comme lui et je m'y suis mis" et depuis je joue comme lui. J'avais 15-16 ans ,j'en ai 53 maintenant et j'ai jamais arrêté la gratte et continuerai jusqu'à ma mort.

Great guitar player and a great person. Most down to earth person you would ever meet.

A great guitarist who never got the recognition he fully deserved...

Carlos is a great guy and it seemed like he a lot of love and respect for his last brother in arms Kevin Dubrow Rest In Peace my dear friend rock on

A very well spoken intelligent man,no DUDE or AWESOME cliches,I hope we hear some new music from him

As big as u guys were you were still underrated. Kevin great vocalist and Carlos damn good guitar player. Iconic songs!

To me metal health is one of heavy metals greatest songs Kevin & the boys sang & played their instruments hard on it . They were on top of ALL music charts in 1984 . Love hearing kevin sing that song , and well said Carlos with all respect to the deceased .

Looks like he could be Corey Feldman's dad.

Great yet highly underated guitarist!!!

I don't think I've heard Carlos talk about Kevin in quite some time. Carlos said it well her. He was honest but seemed a little sad when talking about Kevin. Can't believe it has been almost ten years since he died.

Carlos cavazo was awesome and how he spiked his hair all over man he had The best look out of many metal guys! Always loved seeing him even in ratt!

Took over for Randy , guy is damn good ! Randy was a guitar God !

Kevin was one of the greatest voices ever...💚

Great man and a great guitarrist

RIP Kevin. God Bless So Sad 😭

Kevin = high IQ, high RPM, zero discipline.

Carlos you’re the best!

Great interview with Carlos Cavazo,as Quiet Riot is now pretty much both Alex Grossi's and Regina Banali's band.

So sad, hard to watch Carlos speak as, you can see his longstanding hurt.

Carlo cavazo is legendary guitars pure power

Carlos is a great guitar player, he was playing good, when no one knew how to sound good!

I met Kevin in the late 80’s in Knoxville. He was coked up but was nice to me when we chatted.

Thank you carlos. I CAN FEEL YOU ARE STILL IN PAIN. LONG LIVE QUIET RIOT.

Seems like a good guy! Loved them in the early 80’s.

Quiet riot first band I ever seen at concert. 83" old met Stadium Bloomington, Mn. Opened for black Sabbath. Born again tour. I was 20.😀

Long live the memory of Kevin DuBrow!!! xoxo The Clarences

One of the best guitarist of all time thanks for the good memories whit my best band of all time quiet riot and r.i.p kevin dubrow and frankie banali respect

I saw QR at the Tower Theater in Philly in the early 80’s, it was a fantastic show, the band was tight, great show

That's putting it mildly. Giving cocaine to Kevin DuBrow was like giving Red Bull and coffee to a kid with ADHD. If that's not a recipe for disaster, I don't know what is.

Awesome guitar player RIP KEVIN

I was eating at a Red Lobster one Saturday afternoon when Quiet Riot walked in. They were real rock stars at the time - very cool and accommodating to the fans in the restaurant. Sad to see it crumble so fast.

CARLOS THE CALIFORNIA SHREDDER.....

Bottom line, Carlos took it hard, so did Frankie. Album sales slowed but they were all friends who still had hope....don't blame Carlos, this is all on Kevin, it reflects in the lyrics

All these years, never heard him talk. I thought he'd have an accent.

Seems like a genuinely nice man. Kudos.

Be sure to check out Carlos with RATT this summer!

Battle Axe is one of the best instrumentals in hard rock.

I lost my mom @ 14 in Feb 1983. Was a guitar noodler for a few yrs bf, but her death made me focus. And I found QR that summer. Stayed w/ fam in L.A. n watched the rock video programs there every Fri n Sat nights. Saw BYH vid ..never saw anything like it bf!! And I saw VH WACF n FW tours as a 12 n 13. But QR were it!! My guitar plyg improved as I practiced the whole MH lp. And Def Lep Pyro ...Ozzy's 1st 2 n BATM. Dio, others....TY Carlos n QR.

I think the classic lineup of Quiet Riot was awesome. They were all great musicians. Including of course Randy. 🤟🏻🎸🎤🥁

I was lucky too see QR with the original Metal Health lineup in 2000 I believe . Maybe 99. At The Outer Limits here in Nashville . A movie theater turned club turned Grocery Store. I stood right in front of you Carlos. It was awesome . I could not believe how loud it was. Awesome. RIP Kevin. You guys rocked that night. I was so glad I got to see you, Kevin, Rudy, and Franky. All together.🎸🎸🎸

siempre tan humilde y perfil bajo..un caballero..como el resto de la banda.aun en su apogeo.nunca se dejaron iluminar por la fama..los recuerdo siempre .

Do dig Carlos! Remember him from his band Snow!

I was lucky to see Kevin perform with QR before he passed, saw him in Kansas City when they opened for ZZ Top, one hell of a show.

you are great love your guitar playing ⚘💝💙💖😎

Me and Carlos were tearin' it up onstage one night in front of 80,000 in a dream that I had and he still stole the show.😆🙄

I used to think Carlos was a dollar store Randy Rhoads until I heard him play on Detonator (Ratt). He had no issues handing with Demartini and in some cases I think Carlos' solos were better. So much respect for him now.

Carlos you rock.you and Rudy were the straight n narrow

Carlos you got me back stage to Y & T Celebrity theater Anaheim 86ish (I brought up the Antioch concert barn) Thank You

Toledo Sports Arena 1984.

I actually grew up around their "replacement singer" Mark Huff-he was in a lot of small-time bands growing up and kind of ran in the same circles but a slightly shy child too bad he got fired from the band-but all in all it is tough to have one of your dearest friends passed especially something that you had a very close connection to I feel his grief

He came to my house years ago very class guy

Carlos took QR places RR never could 🥂 I would love to pick his brain about writing bang your head how the song came to be and his approach to writing it 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's a shame that so many musicians lose focus of the music and make it about drugs, alcohol, and sex.

Carlos you are awesome!!!!

That's to bad. His story still needs to be told. As much shift i heard talked about him i wouldn't wish what happened to him on anybody.

Why zoom in? Weird

When your big hit is a cover your not gonna last long

Go back to playing Jackson guitars.

Kevin's younger brother is a surgeon.

Carlos is an amazing musician and he is also HOT HOT HOT!

Who didn't have substance abuse problems back then

Can we zoom in ??? ...Great, now zoom a little MORE... Perfect !!!

Last time I saw Quiet Riot was in 2005. Always wondered why Rudy and Carlos were replaced by Chuck Wright and Alex Grossi. But it was an awesome show. And I met Kevin. Frankie. Chuck. and Alex. The security guy was being a real dick when I asked to get a picture with the band. But the band said it was ok. And got the picture. With me and them. I'll always remember that day in 2005 when I met Q.R.. R.i.p. Kevin.

who was he referring to that was the "bad medicine" in the band?

I had the privilege of playing in a band that fronted Quiet Riot for a show on a nightclub tour in the early 2000s. Carlos, Frankie, and Rudy were all super cool, nice, down-to-earth, friendly, supportive, complimentary, encouraging. Kevin was not. He went out of his way to be aloof to the point of being a dick. Normally wouldn’t speak ill of the dead, but he was a public figure.

Everyone loves Carlos

Yep, straight up.

I was lucky enough to get backstage passes and get onto the tour bus back in early '84 and they were very cool to me. Still have a couple pictures. Can believe 2 of them are gone now. I guess it has been almost 40 years even if it doesn't feel like it. Time made us all her bitch. 1984. I feel sorry for those who were not there. It's a love-hate for me. I'm glad I was there, but I know that was it. It's not going to happen again. Technology will make sure of that. Glad Carlos is doing good. I loved his playing style and still do. They put the fun in hard rock-heavy metal. Kevin was so weird. I miss all that. Even the arena that was here when they came in concert is gone. Kind of sad. it's been gone the same amount of time it stood. WTF? RIP Frankie/Kevin.

Rip Kevin Dubrow and Frankie Benalli.

guys its over been over for a long long time Guilty pleasure is an awesome album

Carlos went easy on Kevin. Having been original Quiet Riot Drummer, "Drew Forsyth's" student and drum tech, Kevin was the biggest asshole I've met to this day! He simply wasn't a nice guy and had a big mouth. I loathed him. He got really, really got bad after Metal Health went huge with his mouth. Bad mouthing other bands like Ratt and Motley, and Stryper. Frankie was a dear friend, and Carlos crushed it when he said Banali enabled Kevin. You know it's bad when they left Kevins ass in Hawaii. Kevin's mouth single handedly destroyed Quiet Riot. How Carlos and Rudy didn't wreck Kevin is beyond me. He financially destroyed those dudes. Not to mention Kevin was so desperate to get a record deal, that he signed the worst one ever with Spencer Proffer. The fact that Kevin brought back the name Quiet Riot, after Randy Rhoads died enraged me, due to Randy and his family living a block away from me in Burbank, CA and me knowing him, and taking drum lessons from Drew at Randy's mom, Delore's music school, Musonia in North Hollywood. Kevin knew the name Quiet Riot would get attention from fans who associated Randy with the band. And his own story of how him and Randy, were best boiz is pure fiction at it's best. Keep an eye out for Carlo's new music coming down the pike. I can't go into details, but lets just say Carmine Appice is involved, from a metal band back in the day. And the coolest, craziest dude on bass, Johnny Rod. You went way to easy on him Carlos. Way to easy.

A cool guy and guitarist next to George lynch

Big fan!

Carlos need a star in hollywod because he could does songs top 10 billboards. Anothers guitarists as Yngwie has star.

Lord Steven Regal tells a great story about choking Kevin out live on radio for saying Slade should be grateful to him for making them rich.

I never thought much of Quite Riots music, fact I didn't like em at all, but this guy is a cool dude. Accually I do like their name

Why delete this valuable snippet of an interview? I don't get it
