message: Tracii Guns left as stated on RandyRhoads.TK. Kevin DuBrow is a member there and you can ask him yourself :P
Tracii Guns was never a member. He came to one rehersal.
I have restored Tracii Guns to the article, and added two sources to back up his being with the band.  As per the Quiet Riot press release regarding his departure, "Although we all had high hopes and the best intentions for the success of our association, it became evident collective[ly] that the musical diversity of styles would not work to our mutual satisfaction. Rather than go into the recording studio unsure of the outcome, Quiet Riot and Tracii Guns have decided to amicably part company but remain friends and hold each other in the highest respect."
While they use the word "association", which doesn't nessesarily mean full membership, Guns' brief association with the band should not be excluded from the article as it is a documented part of their history, concerning a "big name" guitar player.  Whether someone wants to re-word what I wrote to imply "association" rather than "membership", I will leave that up to someone else.  I would argue that the press release itself and the statement "amicably part company" implies that his participation was considered more than just a rehearsal-only association.  Also it was almost a month between the first announcement and the second. Frehley72 (talk) 13:00, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Death of Kevin DuBrow

message: There was a web site that is now defunct -- quietriotonline.com -- that had a detailed bio of the band. It did state that the group disbanded in 1980, following Rhoads' departure. They also broke up in 1989 when Kevin DuBrow (who had been ousted for another singer) was trying to retain the rights to the name. I also read on an all music station that they did break up in 2003 and regrouped two years later. (HairMetalLives (talk) 20:32, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quiet Riot's Disbandment 

message: Okay so the article mentions the *real* story behind the name. Kinda boring, really. Considering I thought it was due to a line from the "Three Stooges" "we need quiet, not a riot". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_Haters#Quotes 199.214.26.41 (talk) 19:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  name origin -- disappointing ;) 

message: Hello,
This is the official Quiet Riot band and management. We are slowly and steadily attempting to clean up the vast array of inaccuracies on this page and post a historically correct bio. Please be patent and please do not come behind us and vandalize or attempt to "correct" this page. Thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Official Quiet Riot (talk • contribs) 17:29, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Have you reviewed the conflict of interest guidelines?  Just as you wouldn't expect to write an article for Rolling Stone about your band, you shouldn't expect to write the Wikipedia article.  However, we do want the article to be as accurate as possible- please feel free to point out any factual inaccuracies here, including reference to reliable sources we can use to verify the correct information.  One reason we all avoid writing about ourselves or our own interests is that it's hard to stick to verifiable facts, and Wikipedia doesn't publish any information that hasn't already been published elsewhere- Wikipedia is not a first publisher of new information. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:53, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

I think you probably are, but I know that you appreciate that we don't let people just create an account and claim to represent you, because you can imagine how badly that might go. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:54, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

text: Hi Pinkmermaid, I don't know if you're Frankie Banali or not, but the official QR site says the band is managed by Banali.  Anyway I mean no disrespect with my edits.  I am a huge fan, and have been for 27 years.  I own both of the original Japanese LPs and a near-complete discography so I do have a lot of knowledge to add myself.  I am mostly editing for formatting, grammar, and tagging according to Wikipedia rules.  Since Wikipedia is a collaborative endeavour there's no reason you can't add information, while others edit it for grammar and so on.  I hope the end result is a Quiet Riot article that both looks great and is factually accurate.  Cheers.  Frehley72 (talk) 12:27, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleaning up and correcting this page, the official Quiet Riot camp 

message: Do we still need the paragraph from the drummer explaining that he will never, ever rejoin Quiet Riot, now that he has done so?  Should we keep it, or summarize it in a sentence? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:54, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I tend to agree.  I think it is historically intersting.  It is a legitimate documented reflection of Banali's feelings at the time of DuBrow's death.  It's a documented part of the band's history.  Also it reflects a trend in rock music in general.  Motley Crue once said they would never perform without one of the original four.  Kiss once said they were saying farewell forever.  I think the statement is just another part of the tapestry of rock.Frehley72 (talk) 13:05, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Drummer's statement

message: I suggest removing Tony Franklin's name as a member of Quiet Riot.  His picture does not appear on the Rehab CD, and he is not credited as a member but as an "attending musician" -- the same as Glenn Hughes' credit, who was obviously not a member of Quiet Riot.  I would also question why the band's management allowed Franklin's name to appear as a "member" in this article, while Tracii Guns' name was removed.  Is it because Franklin is one of the best bass players in the world and it looks good to have him listed?  This is why I'm not always cool with a band editing their own article, little biases like that could creep in -- if that's indeed the case here.  
::::There are a few people listed as members that were not. As for me or the band editing the page or "allowing" this person or that person to be listed. That is a joke. Anything that the band camp has edited just gets deleted. I barely began deleting lies and false members (it would be a big job) when the trolls took over so this page is now abandoned by anyone who could verify actual facts. This page is largely inaccurate. Siting "references" that are nothing more than blogs or interviews that are not truthful. If anyone is coming to this page for info about this band they are just getting a mish mosh of myths & rumors anyway.Pinkmermaid (talk) 05:39, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vice City 

message: I have replaced the old messy version of the membership timeline with a version that reflects modern Wiki formatting (see List of Black Sabbath band members for example). I used dates, some of which were estimated, from the main text of the article, and probably got a few of the date ranges wrong. Let me know via talk page if anything needs to be adjusted. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:00, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Timeline 

message: I don't know the best way to do this, but i'm thinking separate wiki pages for each band. The way this one reads, it makes it seem like both QRs were the same band. It has been mentioned by Franki and Kevin, and known for quite some time, that this band is one that used to be called DuBrow, and only assumed the QR moniker because Kevin's previous band wasn't using it anymore. The way the page is would be like having Creed and Alter Bridge's pages as one, or the classic rock band Skid Row combined with the 90's hair metal band. 
There should be a page for the 70's band called Quiet Riot, and one for the band formed in 1980 by Kevin and Franki. 
Any takers? UtahCountryBoy (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Current Band vs 70's Band 

message: Shouldn't we try to get a more recent photo of the band now seeing as, following Banali's death, not a single person from the Metal Health-era lineup is in the band's current lineup? Doesn't seem like an accurate representation. 2A00:23C6:C284:4600:D552:FFDF:280B:20A4 (talk) 20:00, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
