About Quiet Riot
Quiet Riot is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1973 who became pioneers of the 1980s metal scene with their explosive, arena-ready sound built on thunderous riffs and anthemic choruses. Their breakthrough album "Metal Health" (1983) made history as the first heavy metal album to reach #1 on the Billboard 200, driven by the massive hit "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)" and their cover of Slade's "Cum On Feel the Noize." The band's accessible yet heavy approach helped bring metal into the mainstream during the MTV era, proving that underground metal could achieve commercial success. Despite lineup changes and the tragic loss of original guitarist Randy Rhoads and later vocalist Kevin DuBrow, Quiet Riot's influence on the Los Angeles metal scene and 1980s hard rock culture remains undeniable.
