They explained that they were aware of Kevin's passing and offered their condolences, but still wanted to know if I would put something together for the appearance. My first question was to know the object of doing the show. They informed me of the show's format and that the winning dollar amount would be donated to a charity of my choice. That being the case I made sure that they understood that if I were to agree they would have to bill it as the Quiet Riot Allstars rather that just as Quiet Riot. I told the agency that I would have to get back to them with my decision.

I gave careful consideration to what sort of a Quiet Riot Allstar lineup I would put together. At no time did I consider including the so called 'Metal Health' lineup for this appearance. This was based on many reasons but the most obvious ones were the great deal of speculation and fanning of the fires for Quiet Riot to continue with a singer to replace Kevin. That was not an option or a consideration on my part from the moment that Kevin passed away and I still feel that way. I did not want to give anyone the impression that this could be the precursor to a reunion. - more on this story
