Quiet Riot

We're rockin' around the Christmas tree and into a long list of rock stars who are celebrating their birthdays this month.

Former Quiet Riot bassist visited his old friend in the hospital during the last hours before cancer took drummer's life.

Smash Mouth, Trapt, Fozzy and other acts played the mass gathering.

He will be missed.

RIP.

Lit, Drowning Pool, Night Ranger, Adelita's Way and more are playing too.

Performance will go ahead, even as drummer Frankie Banali battles cancer.

Get the most bang for your hair-metal buck.
