According to DuBrow, Rhoads’ departure from Quiet Riot in 1979 appeared to be the end of the line, saying that the loss “didn’t derail the band, it ended it.” He and Forsyth attempted to carry on under the Quiet Riot name for a short time with the addition of guitarist Greg Leon before the band officially broke up in 1980. Leon was very succinct when asked why his time in Quiet Riot was so brief, saying “Kevin DuBrow was impossible to work with.” Following the demise of Quiet Riot, Dubrow recruited former Gamma drummer Skip Gillette and played shows in the L.A club circuit for approximately two years under the band name DuBrow.
