It has been in the works for years and now it is almost ready. For documentary director Regina Russell, her long-form production on hard rock legends Quiet Riot has been a labor of love in more ways than one.

First, she loves the music. Secondly, she loves the drummer, Frankie Banali. You see, Banali is Russell's fiancé and so when she decided to produce the definitive Quiet Riot documentary, she had the ability to go straight to the source.

But just because you know somebody well doesn't mean they would be a cooperative subject. As Russell described to us recently at the 2013 NAMM show, there were more than enough challenges in producing her film. Interestingly, Banali also took part in our interview so we got his side of the story, too.

You could probably make a documentary about the making of her documentary, but for now Russell is focused on putting the finishing touches on a very special presentation that brings to life this legendary band.

Its interesting to observe the interview because in a way, for women, Randy Rhoads has never left. You see Def Leppard, you see any blonde hair pretty boy from the 80's and there was ALOT of Randy Rhoads in that. Women dressed their guys to resemble him. Kevin passing now, its like guys are just getting some of that magic. Now its Kevin being remembered. So as Randy was always with Kevin onstage while he was alive in death its become like Randy is guiding the fiancee and Kevin is there with Frankie. The band's founders are each alive through this couple. Like how Randy was remembered when Rudy and Ozzy each got married. Now its complete.
