On August 20, Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali passed away after a battle with pancreatic cancer. Banali's passing got me interested in the documentary, Quiet Riot: Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back, produced and directed by Regina Russell.

It's basically a documentary about Frankie's struggles with trying to keep Quiet Riot together after the passing of Kevin DuBrow.

The film is very Spinal Tap-esque, and for that I give them credit because they really struggled with members leaving, going to other bands, coming back, trying to replace the singer while trying to fulfill their obligations to play different festivals and state fair circuits. And we have to remember that Quiet Riot really broke through in the earlier days of heavy metal, selling millions of records.
