"I learned the second mistake by not making it. Bands would live way outside their means and squander whatever they made. Quiet Riot made $20,000,000 apiece, and now they're playing 500-seat venue shows to survive. That's sad to me..." Quiet Riot drummer Fankie Banali strikes back with the following response:
"...I personally never made $20,000,000 dollars as you wrote. Not even close, not even a clean million. And we did indeed as a band spend and waste monies on tours, production, recording, videos, etc., like any other band does. We also signed a terrible record deal, but I accept that. And while I was comfortable and enjoyed the initial success that Quiet Riot afforded me in much more humble ways than you imagine, I did not squander my money as you claim, but instead took care of my ailing mother who eventually succumbed to cancer which she suffered from 1982 which predates my success with Quiet Riot until her death in 1990...."
