FROM FRANKIE BANALI FAMILY:

Frankie Banali, legendary drummer of Quiet Riot and W.A.S.P. has passed away at the age of 68.

Frankie Banali is most known for his lengthy career as the drummer for the multi-platinum heavy metal band Quiet Riot whose “Metal Health” was the first heavy metal album to reach number one on the Billboard charts and ushered in the 80’s metal band era. He is the only member to play on every album Quiet Riot has released. His signature tone, deep pocket and iconic drum intros are immortalized on many hits including Quiet Riot’s “Cum On Feel The Noize”, “Metal Health” (Bang Your Head) Billy Idol’s “Mony Mony” and “L.A. Woman” and albums such as “Hughes/Thrall”, W.A.S.P.'s “Headless Children”and "Crimson Idol" as well as over 100 other recordings as a session player in every genre of music. He did the arrangement on the “Metal Health” album, produced many Quiet Riot recordings and took over managing the band in 1993. He lived for playing live and performed for millions of fans around the world throughout his career.

He was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer on April 17th, 2019 and given six months to live. He put up an inspiringly brave and courageous 16-month battle to the end and continued playing live as long as he could. Standard chemotherapy stopped working and a series of strokes made the continuation on a clinical trial impossible. He ultimately lost the fight at 7:18 pm on August 20th in Los Angeles surrounded by his wife and daughter.

Frankie is survived by his devoted wife Regina, loving daughter Ashley, many dear friends, dedicated fans, and a menagerie of rescue animals all of whom are family. He was a long time advocate for animal rescue, a spokesperson for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, and a sponsor of Children International. Donations in his name are encouraged for Fixnation.org, Aspca.org, Pancan.org, or Children.org. His wish for everyone is that you be your own health advocate for early detection so you may live long and rescue many animals.

Funeral plans will be announced at a later date.

FROM FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL:

The Frontiers Family is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Frankie Banali. We had the pleasure of working with Frankie on the two most recent Quiet Riot studio albums and found him to be a class act and a joy to work with. All of us will cherish the memories we have of he and the band's amazing set at Frontiers Rock Festival 2018 too, where we were all got to experience firsthand his kindness and warmth.

In the face of his battle with pancreatic cancer, Frankie was a true inspiration with his positive outlook and determination to fight as hard as he could against it.

Our deepest sympathies to his lovely wife Regina, his daughter Ashley, and the rest of his family and friends.

Crank some Quiet Riot (and the W.A.S.P. albums he played on) this weekend in honor of the man!

BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances. Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/ -l- ***To experience ITP at it's fullest capabilities you'll need a good browser (MOZILLA FIREFOX or SAFARI) and a fast MODEM/CONNECTION (CABLE or WI FI) to enjoy the videos and a good set of HEADPHONES or/and speakers to enjoy the SOUND and brutality.
