Frankie Balani from Quiet Riot

I was that jock on KOOK radio in 1983 when Quiet Riot invaded those AM mono sounds. Most metal bands were programmed for after 6pm. Within months those 45's made their way to afternoon drive then mid-day. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with one half of the team that melted the knobs off AM radio Frankie Banali. ALSO CONTAINS OVER AN HOUR OF BONUS FEATURES. DELETED SCENES, EXTENDED INTERVIEWS AND MORE A funny and inspiring documentary that chronicles the rise, fall and resurrection of '80s metal band Quiet Riot. It offers an unlikely and surprisingly personal account of coping with the loss of a friend. The career of Frankie Banali, the band's drummer, reached a serious crossroads when his best friend and singer Kevin DuBrow died in 2007. Years later, Banali realizes he must forge ahead and make a new life for himself and his daughter, and he goes on an alternately tragic and hilarious quest to reunite the band and fill the immense void left by his bandmate. 104 minutes.
