Two words, Mr. Garni: “Walk” and “Away.”
Now is the time to quit your campaign of self-promotion linked to Kevin Dubrow’s death. By walking away now, you can take some pride in what you have accomplished.
At this point in time, you can easily convince yourself of the following:
Your statements got picked up by the Associated Press and you got a lot of national news coverage.
You got a chance to cry on a local news program.
You were able to live out the fantasy that you and Kevin were as close as brothers.
Quit while you are ahead. At this point, you can ignore the facts that:
Kevin’s family didn’t want you at the funeral.
In some of the press, you were even called “Quiet Riot’s Bassist” and we all know what a joke that is.
Your core fan-base remains 20 losers who regularly comment about the color of the knobs on Randy Rhoads flying V, and post pictures of themselves in places Randy Rhoads visited.
This post illustrates that there is at least one jerk out there that completely sees through your crap.
Walk away. Move on.
And have a great life. (I just don’t want to have to read about it anymore, okay?)
Right on!!!!!!
I think that was really unneccesary & mean. Kelly WAS a close friend of Kevin’s, & they remained friends long after the early QR years. Kevin counted on Kelly to take care of his house & his cats & whatever needs he had while he was on the road performing in QR, right up & until his death. Kevin thought QUITE ALOT of Kelly & mentioned him in glowing terms many times throughout the years of their long friendship. It’s really quite rude & unfounded information you’ve written here, regarding their friendship & closeness. To even begin to comment on someone else’s pain through a tragedy like this is very abnormal & shows complete lack of consideration to people you don’t know personally. I hope you feel like a “big man” here by thinking you’re so cool to expose people at their most weak & vulnurable points in their lives, you just look like a big jerk. Kelly could have holed-up & spoke to no-one & he would have been critized for THAT, so he was doomed no matter what he did, speak or not speak. You people are visicious & there really isn’t any right or wrong way to deal with ANY of you. For god’s sakes, let it go already…stop making comments that you don’t have a clue about.
Oh man, I’d LOVE to hear what Garni has to say about this! (of course, he’s probably afraid to answer!)
Right on, man
“Here we go now!” This is the best post I have read on this yet. METAL EDGE has a close second, but he knows the dude too so thats all that. What a loser. He always wanted to be the spotlight on him, right. And now he is his chance. What is his golden ticket; the death of a man. He friend: Kevin!!!!
That is no friend. No. And he suck for saying that. A disgrace to memory of all TRUE ROCKKERS!
I’m sure Kevin really finds this classy. I guess you knew this dude personally and went to lunch with him on Thursdays. I seriously doubt that Kelly Garni even gives a rat’s ass about what you think. Methinks you’re a total loser and crybaby.
Your gripes about Kelly are foundationless and based out of pure judgement. Did you know Kevin or Kelly? Did you hang out with them? Negitive on that I’m sure. So in other words you are just a big fat nobody who thinks your negitive opinion is the be all end all.
However, I did find something in your little hate rant that I find to be factual. “This post illistrates that there is at least one jerk out there”. End of story
who the f**k are you and why don’t you have anything better to do than sit around and dwell on theories that are so far off base they make you look like you’re doing base!? either you don’t know kelly and kevin or are so jealous and threatned of their friendship you can’t see straight. your comments are so friggin asinine. what benefits has he reaped by getting in the spotlight? first off lets be real and honest here…. how big was the spotlight, really? not to take anything away from kevin or speak badly about him, but truthfully, at the point in his career that this happened, only a few people really gave a shit. so how many people really gave the 2 1/2 seconds kelly was on the news (trying to stop any rumors and keep from tarnishing any image kevin had left) a second thought? did he shamelessly promote his personal business?? absolutely not. i bet frankie would have dropped the name and website and infomercial dates & times as much as he possibly could.
alright screw it, i’m taking off the gloves ….. here we go. The truth is the only person i know of that was/is that jealous of the kelly/kevin friendship is good old frank-o he hates the fact that kelly is referred to as the original bassist in QR. and was livid that kelly ended up on the local news speaking about kevin.
i’m not even gonna bother to justify the other crass allegations you made in your post. c’mon man, frankie hated kevin and hated dealing with him, THE ONLY PERSON THAT HAD ANYTHING TO GAIN FROM PUBLICITY OF KEVIN’S DEATH WAS FRANKIE. WITHOUT KEVIN, HE HAS NOTHING. Kevin WAS quiet riot. without kevin and touring, he has no income. Kevin’s death (as with any celebrity’s demise) would spike a small rise in merch sales. Frankie missed out on his opportunity to shamelessly promote and profit from kevins death.
if i am wrong, then hey i’m a big prick. But who the hell could or would be so bitter over this situation to fabricate all this b s out of something that was cut and dry? somebody so green with jealousy that everything looks like a dollar sign. every point made in this post can be tied directly to frank.
so i say to you frankie……… get over it. they were friends, brothers if you will. they were in a band together before you were. yeah i know your favorite remark…. same name not same band. again, get over it. they had a bond that you and kevin never had and it kills you…………get over it!!!
just let it go and YOU move on. grow up and if you don’t wanna read about something, dont search it out. let it go and get over it.
sorry if i have offended anyone,….. nah no i’m not leave kelly alone. think of it this way frankie… theres no money in it. maybe that will turn on a little light bulb for you.
now run along and have a nice day
fuckin faggot!
Who ever you are .You are way out of bounds .Many want to know his feelings. You are very self centered human -with no remorse what so ever.Who do you think you are ? I sniviling whiner .Who has nothing better to do but harrass Kelly .Get a life .Some love Q.R. & want to know his words .God Speed Kelly Garni & Kelly Rhoads
Kelly don’t let this looser make you be quiet
God why such a senseless attack on Frankie B ? Isn’t bad enought that Mr Bannalli lost his fortune trying to save his mother from cancer ? Who are you? Like the President of Iran who ever you are ?You are one cruel human .You most likely deny that WW-II even happened -even the holocaust .Mr Bannelli is a decent human .I am quite sure that he like I was devestated when Kevin Died of accute cocaine poisoning .That is in fact what it says on his death certificate . Why do you think you have so many facts-which in fact are conjunctors -lies -speculation.You are clueless.I have known Q.R . Longer than you I know this to be fact .In any event Kevin was the master of his domain .No -one forced him to do so much coke .He blew $5m in less than 10 years on that crap .You should stick to the facts .One being who killed Kevin Dubrow ? The Lynn Bias law clearly applies to this case .
Mr Bannalli .I love you & respect you .You know who I am .We have met many times . This subhuman is attacking you unwarrently . Hey did you know that Frankie was in charge of merchandising ? Most likely not . Mr Bannalli is a decent human .I have no idea where you dredged this sludge up from .Next time take a prozac .You need it .Cursing Mr Bannalli is totally out of bounds ,He is not happy about any of this anyway .So leave him alone -along with Kelly Garni . Enjoy the music .No one wants to hear you conspircy theories anyway .Why don’t you find out who sold Mr Dubrow the cocaine & turn them in .That would be much than reading your drivil on this site .Get a life looser .Frankie is married -not a queer .
If anyone is a Fag it is you .
Kelly -You are decent despite what these subhumans say .It was nice to speak to you on the phone two days ago .Mr Rhoads .I sent you something you will love .Do with it what you will .God speed your friend in the midwest
Alton
I hope you like it .You are very kind .
You know who I am thanks again
I still fail to understand you .You act like Mr Garni made millions off his opinions & facts .When in fact he made nothing off it .You clearly are slandering a great human on this drivil .I urge to to cease & disist such slander imidately .You will be hearing from Mr Garnis’ attorney .He knows exactly who you are .Does not know you .Does not wish to know you .Or befriend you .He told me your name .I now know your name also . I have kept print outs of your slanderious ways on this site .If I am called in to court .I will testify against you personally . This is not a threat -but a promise .You have been warned for the final time .Take this sludge down NOW!
Mr Garni .Thanks for taking time to tell the truth & speaking to me .Always the best
Vagner ‘s great great grandson
We are from Offenbach ,Gr
The real facts are as follows .Rudy Sarzo did not record Q.R-II .He really did not have much to do with metal health .That was Chuck Wright .Sorry Mr Sarzo .I respect you anyway .I also thinnk you are a decent human .I seen ya on a movie -wish I knew what the name of that movie was-is
Wow! What a fight, I dont know who to believe, I am not sure if he is cashing in on his death but it sounds like a bunch of posers and metal snobs that want to get there ass kicked by kelly who knew randy, stinky fuckin faggots, thats sick, there are jealous of kelly and they cant play guitar
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SAY KELLI IS TAKING THE CORPORATE TRADEMARK FUCK YOU
why cant you all just get along, kelli garni is a nice guy, and every time randy rhoads is mentioned, a bunch of jealous short hairs get on here and want to fight, rudy sarzo is better bass player anyway, go mess with the man, randy rodgers, randy impersonater from OZZY OSBRO, tribute band
Why can’t you just leave him alone ? He has been through hell anyway . So has Randy’s brother -who’s real name is Dale so what . Gibson ripped me off for my new guitar – the flying -G -[now the Zak Wilde shredder – Zak has no clue I own the 1st one -1991 – I can prove that too in court – Jackson is making a copy of my Jackson – custom . It will be very nice .
I was a good friend of Kevin – still am w/Remaining members – what is your problem W/Mr Garni? – Your opinion is like an asshole everyone has one & they all stink
Mr Straw maniac
Open letter to you
What is Mrs Rhoads real name ? Bet ya don’t know this one ? Cluess bastard
Where is the Rhoads family farm at ? Mr know it all ? Bet ya do not even know that one . You should take a hot cup of shut the fuck up ! No one wishes to hear you sludge . Seriously SHUT THE HELL UP !
Who died & appointed you king of jackshit ?
No one ! You most likely cannot play guitar anyway
If ya could we would be paying to listen to you – case closed – you suck
As a close friend to Kelly since the 8th grade…Thank You All for sticking up for him. Anyone that doesn’t know him or Randy for that matter has no business bashing him. Not 1 person on this or any other page have no F^&KING clue what happened then or now …or have any idea of what their relationship was like
