CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

tmoxness-867-231562 This movie left me with interesting feelings;I think Frankie is a great drummer, and QR had a few good tunes (mostly cover tunes).After watching the movie I wanted Frankie to give up on the QR theme and join another classic rock band. He's a great drummer.I was in Grade 9 when QR hit it big. It was pretty amazing that a metal band hit it big in 1983, but QR didn't have the songwriting to back it up at all.This movie is pretty much a rip-off of the Anvil movie. They spent way too much time showing the awful singers replacing Dubrow.

metalrox_2000 This was more than a documentary, it's many things on many different levels. It's about keeping a dream alive, it's about coming to terms with a friends death. It's about forging on when others tell you to quit, it's about the loyalties of the fans.The film features posthumous comments from the late Kevin Dubrow, and it examines the close bond that he and Frankie Banali had. The seeds to Quiet Riot to tour again where sown, until Dubrow's unexpected death. After first saying that Quiet Riot will cease to exist, Frankie decides to resurrect the band, to keep Kevin's spirit alive.After auditioning several hopefuls, the band settles on Mark Huff, a former lead singer from a band that never went anywhere. And while Mark's stay in the band starts off promising, it quickly nosedives into oblivion, as Huff routinely gets lost on stages, or forgets the lyrics to such well known songs like "Bang Your Head". The band quickly decides Huff is not the right guy, and he's fired from the band.What's left is some soul searching from Frankie, we he is forced to not under come to terms with the possible demise of the band, but his anger issues with Kevin over his death. In one of the most emotional scenes of the movie, Frankie visits Kevin's grave, and is finally about to let go of the emotions that he'd been bottling up.The band meets Scott, a professional singer who auditions for the band, and to everyone's amazement, is able to hit the high notes like Kevin. The band has several successful shows, and the future of Quiet Riot is bright. Though it's not explained why, Scott exits the band, and is replaced by Jizzy Pearl.There are some comedic moments, such as Chuck Wright getting into a disagreement with a fan who doesn't believe Chuck when he tells him that he played bass on a few tracks of the album Metal Health. Chuck is the source of one the humorist themes as they poke fun at all of the times Chuck has joined and left the band.Another memorable moment comes when a fan enters the sound check, and meets Frankie. After their conversation, Frankie gives the young fan both of his drum sticks, and promises him a meet and greet with the band after the show.All and all, this is truly one of the better documentaries in a long time, and I highly recommend it.

David Watson It all started in the late 70's. Quiet Riot started their rise to fame and made glam metal popular. They peaked in 1983 with the release of Metal Health, the first heavy metal album that topped the billboard charts. The album spawned two metal anthems in Cum On Feel The Noise and Bang Your Head. From there it was a long and winding road filled with ups and downs and lots of line up changes.Quiet Riot: Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is the story of The rise, fall and the rebirth of Quiet Riot. In 2007 their lead singer Kevin DuBrow passed away ending the career of the metal band that started the hair band movement of the eighties. In 2010, at a cross roads in his life, Quiet Riot's drummer Frankie Banali restarted the band. This documentary chronicles Frankie Banali's efforts to go forward with his career and life.I'm a huge fan of hard rock and heavy metal from the seventies and eighties but I was never a big fan of Quiet Riot. I love documentaries though and I decided to give this one a shot. Well Now Your Here, There's No Way Back is one of the best music documentaries that I've seen. While watching this movie I found myself wanting to laugh, cry and cheer.I laughed when I saw the band members try to remember all the people who have been in the band over the years and their efforts to find a new singer. I felt like crying when I heard the story of Kevin's death and seeing Frankie deal with it along with the death of his mother and wife. I also wanted to cheer when I saw Quiet Riot putting together a great show in front of a big crowd after all the problems they had. This movie will give you a new appreciation for Quiet Riot and show you how hard a rock band works to stay alive when it seems like the world is against them.Even if I wasn't a fan of 80's music, I would have loved this documentary. The director Regina Russell did an excellent job of showing Frankie Banali's efforts to keep his dreams alive and how hard it can be. You see his ups and downs and by the end of the movie you feel like you know him. This is a movie that you don't want to miss and I hope it has some great extras when it comes out on DVD.

Kevin Messercola I will make this short. If you are a fan of QR , you need to see this and you will probably watch it again just because it is that good. The old footage is definitely a plus with Randy and all the interviews with musicians will take you back to those days I believe a lot of us miss. I'm 45 and enjoy modern rock and metal so no I don't live in the past but I sure do love to revisit it. Dee Snider is interviewed throughout and some of his comments sounded somewhat negative as far as QR being in the here and now. He does give them credit as deserved for breaking on to the charts and hitting number one which opened the door for so many others. Something I found very interesting is the musical chairs of members who came and left and then back again. This really is more than some " where are they now " documentary. I won't give anything away but will say the footage of Frankie and Kevin's mom is touching. Enjoy !!
