Frankie Banali revealed in an interview with the Italian radio show Linea Rock that Quiet Riot's performance at the Frontiers Rock Festival, which is also their first ever performance in Italy, was recorded for a future release.

I decided to check out a clip of the band live with Durbin singing and found this well-recorded "Metal Health" at a gig in 2017 and I have to say, like most of the people commenting on the clip on You Tube, I was extremely impressed.
Durbin possesses a serious set of pipes and is an excellent, engaging front man.
The band is tight as hell and it seriously sounds great.
Durbin looks like he's having the time of his life, and from all I've ever read he is a helluva nice guy and has overcome Asperger's and Tourette's.
Way to go man. I teach 8th great special needs and I can seriously root for this guy in a major way.
I'd actually go and see them, and I was thinking this would suck even though I knew Durbin was very talented.
The energy from the band and audience are really infectious.
Seriously!
If you watch with open ears and eyes, I don't know how you could say this was lame.
Whether you call it Quiet Riot or not is up to you.
I just wanted people to see what I saw and give it a shot.

And I agree mostly that isn't not Quiet Riot.
Not calling Banali an original member is a bit much as he's been there the whole way aside from the obscure years nobody outside of LA knew about in the 70s.
If they called themselves Metal Health I'd still say this was good.
But I totally get why people say it's not the real band.
That wasn't my point in the least though.

I don't care for Durbin's voice. Sticks with the higher registers too much and just gets all-out too nasally at times. Kind of drops in that Mark Slaughter/Tony Harnell class of singers, although I've heard Slaughter and Harnell do some pretty good things. Vinnie Vincent's That Time of Year...I thought Slaughter was pretty good on that one. Maybe Durbin has better moments and I just haven't heard them. But I'm sure not going to sit through that last Quiet Riot album to find any. The first couple songs that they posted online from that album were just awful.
