Damn that would have been badass to win this contest! People asking me what I did for Christmas, I fucking celebrated it at my house with Quiet Riot!! \m/ \m/ R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow. \m/
I remember this contest! I DID send in an entry (or two), but, UNFORTUNATELY, THAT WASN'T ENOUGH TO WIN! Christmas with QUIET RIOT? In my opinion, it DOESN'T get ANY BETTER than THAT!
I loved Quiet Riot back than. I was in 8th grade and had just discovered Heavy Metal and hard rock. Life was good, until my mother decided to sell out house and move me to the trailer park. I went from good times to actually learning to fight. So long suburbs and safe rebellion, hello fighting drugs, and dropping out of high school and few years later. I turned it all around, but this reminds of the still good period.
I, too, wish I would've won this! I do remember walking into a music store at the local mall and seeing a "stack of entries" for this contest near one of the registers! Unfortunately, I only took only ONE (WTF, ONE?!) entry, filled it out, and mailed it in. In my opinion, if Quiet Riot came to MY house to celebrate Christmas, THAT would be THE Christmas TO END ALL CHRISTMAS'!
