You are so incredibly wrong. More traditional Heavy Metal/Hard rock is made today than any other time. Bandcamp is littered with young bands playing that style. Its become the defacto site that metal labels release on. Lets face it , the genre is just not the popular choice anymore for any charts so you don't hear it unless you actually look. Everyone was so used to it being spoon fed to them in its mainstream days of the 70's/80's on TV, and radio, that they never had to do any work to find it. Its out there but you have to look. Metal Archives is adding dozens of new metal bands to their archives everyday, many being of the 80's style. This music is FAR from done.
100% I was in military bases with computers at 13 in 1983 🤣 when no one but kids live what they were doing lmao. My mum put a phone lock on, so I just tapped the numbers on the cradle thingy 😂😂😂😂
I'm 66 and this resonates with how I feel about music. I will never hesitate on any given day to be driving with this music blaring from my 2019 Dark Horse Mustang! I want everyone to hear it. And if they sing with me at a red light, so be it! ❤
My dad used to blast this song! him driving, mom in the passenger seat, roof off the big lifted blazer and 2 little girls absolutely rocking out in the backseat. Still one of my favorite childhood memories. I can still see mine and my sister's hair flying crazy with our horns up 🤘🏻❤
I remember buying my first car at 15. Driving back and forth to school with my siblings just blasting QR. My father always knew when we left for school. He could hear my system from inside the house.
@@mattbrown5511 damn straight Bro. AS a teenage countryboy , when this came out. Put bigger amp and more speakers in my PU, just so i could BANG MY HEAD 😎
One of the singers final concerts was Rocklahoma. Before leaving stage he said they would be back the next year. The band did return the next year and played but the crowd provided the vocals singing to him in heaven
I was 14 or 15 years old when was released. I was instantly hooked on heavy metal. I call it music with attitude. To this day at 56 years old, heavy metal is still my favorite genre of music. And to bring it full circle, about three years ago my daughter asked what song I want to play when I walked into a room. I played Bang Your Head from my playlist.
I turned 57 last month, Quite Riot, Twisted Sister and Rush.... These were our favorite cassettes to play as we cruised Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard here in Vegas. Cruising was a big deal back then but then they enclosed Fremont Street, creating the "Fremont Street Experience" and the Las Vegas Strip also known as Las Vegas Boulevard, way too congestive to cruise. Growing up in Vegas there really isn't a lot for kids to do, then they take away all the innocent cruising that they were doing.... Innocent. Hahahah 😅😂
This is what happened to Gen X. I was in 6th grade, heard it once and my soul changed before the song ended...my clothes turned black, my earrings got big, my hair poofed up, my makeup got black and my attitude got bad...maybe it was the head banging that I learned to do that day...maybe I hurt myself....it all never went away. 52, wearing all black with wild hair banging my head to Quiet Riot on a quiet Sunday morning. All is as it should be...we swore to never grow up or grow old! \m/ metal fingers up! :)
I remember when they hit the scene. I was 13. I would sit by the stereo ready to record them on cassette. Lol. That's the way we made our playlist back in the day. Lol.
Did you ever get to see them in concert? I went when I was 20 back in 1985. Really good concert. They were in concert with White Snake and Alcatraz opened. I don’t recommend Alcatraz. They sucked. They don’t make them like this anymore.
The original Quiet Riot: Kevin DuBrow...Randy Rhoads...Kelly Garni...Drew Forsythe......The classic Quiet Riot: Kevin DuBrow...Carlos Cavazo...Rudy Sarzo...Frankie Banali
I took a walk last night and passed by a bar that was filled with college students. They were listening to 80s music. It’s someplace that wouldn’t even feel right for me to stop at because they were all college kids. There were no adults in the room so to speak. This type of music will come back. Because everything cycles.
Im 25 but since about 17-18 I really started loving 80s music and at this point it's all I listen to. Most genres. You'd always hear it on the radio but when you really listen its like oh man there was some sweet bands
This was the first metal LP is hit #1 on the Billboard chart and it forced a lot of rock FM radio stations that were resistant to 80s metal to finally give in. In a matter of weeks in 1983 the band went from opening for Black Sabbath in the US (the Sabbath version that had Deep Purple's Ian Gillan on lead vocals doing a cover of "Smoke On the Water" live BTW), then opening for Judas Priest in the UK, to headlining arenas in the US (w Night Ranger and Girlschool in support) with the same 7-8 song set the album blew up so fast. By the time were back in the UK to headline in March 1984 they were up 14 songs and more of a proper set.
I have 2 Japanese import Quiet Riot CD's with Randy on both. Rudy Sarzo also left QR to play for Özzy, but later rejoined QR after Kevin DuBrow passed away.
Proving that MTV was a true force to be reckoned with at one time, Metal Health came right on the heels of Def Leppard's Pyromania in heavy rotation, and the vanguard of pop/hair metal was here to stay.
I met Kevin DuBrow in 1989, and got to know him throughout the years, especially when he worked for KOMP; dude was awesome, and so full of fun. When he passed, I literally cried it out - he was a friend and musical idol.
I was 12 when this song & video came out. There were a lot of White boys, Hispanic boys, Asian boys and European boys who went to these concerts. Heavy Metal has always brought so many cultures together
Yeah, remember when we were against labels, everybody was included and got along and hung out and shared music, food, hairstyles, fashion, and makeup and we were all happy?
Every metal concert the majority of people dont give a fuck what you look like we're here to ROCK! Of course there are gatekeepers and racists in all groups unfortunately.
I had the honor of meeting the lead singer, Kevin DuBrow when I was maybe 13-14 at a fast food place. I was very starstruck and fortunately, he was very kind to me. (Fun fact, the lead singer's brother is on the TV show Botched, Dr. Terry DuBrow)
This song is also featured in the movie Footloose. Kevin Bacon's character is blasting this song on his car radio when he gets pulled over by the police.
For lots of us that were young teens in the early '80's, Quiet Riot, along with Twisted Sister, Ozzy, and a handful of others, were the jumping off point for our introduction to Heavy Metal and a whole new world. Great reaction, Pegasus! Thanks!
This song and this album were the first metal album to hit the top of the Billboard charts. It caused the labels to stop thinking metal was dead and to search out bands like them. It led directly to glam metal even though this band at this time sounded more like normal bands like Accept, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and other normal bands. This band is often thought of as the Nirvana of glam metal.
Talk about a blast from the past! I haven’t thought about Quiet Riot in forever, I actually forgot what a banger this is. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal from the 70’s and 80’s are my jam. The beat, the heavy drums and guitar, and the vocalists were some of the most talented artists in the music industry. Oh, and FYI Silence of the Lambs was about 10 years after this. Thanks for the reminder ❤
They told us this wasn’t real rock n roll as they pointed to their Led Zeppelin shirts. Guns n Roses brought us all back together. Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll! We chanted We get Drunk, We get High, We’re the class of ‘85 at every pep rally & football game 😎
I was 14 when this came out in 1983. It busted in the doors! I grew my hair long and within a year, the Heavy Metal sound was EVERYWHERE! The 80's were amazing!!!
I love your commentary on this one, this is EXACTLY why I subscribed to this channel. You are so much fun to watch, discovering the music I grew up with.... I was born in 1968, so this stuff was my coming of age music, and I love your appreciation of it :)
I literally listened to this band when I was in elementary school. I saw this the first time around 3rd grade! “Come on feel the noise” was a song that even the girls in ELEMENTARY school knew by this band. They seem to disappear pretty quick or the next few years, but most 80s kids will recognize these guys.
Really liked these guys, so glad to see you react to one of their songs. This one was good, but "CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE" is the one you really need to hear. Twisted Sister and Aldo Nova are a couple more from this era that you might enjoy. Thanks for this one, today!!!
I wasn't into metal when this came out, but I definitely remember that a lot of kids at my high school wore Quiet Riot T-shirts. Hearing it now, I should've given it more of a chance back then.
I also meant to say this is the original lead singer Kevin DuBrow. Quiet Riot has had 3 or 4 lead singers (sorry the exact number is now escaping me.) This lead singer was with the inception of Quiet Riot but sadly passed away in 2007. He was crazy! Literally crazy. The antics he did on stage is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
I was a whyte kid in the 80's rocking out to Quiet Riot and Def Leppard, also break dancing with my mexican neighbors on cardboard on their concrete driveway. We used to cross back then. Music brings people together. Embrace it.
This brings me back to my late teen years! Went to a Quiet Riot concert and afterwards went to my hotel and got in the elevator. I wasn't really paying attention but as the elevator started moving, I looked up and realized that I was in the elevator with Quiet Riot. I just stood there in shock. lol
Thank you for this reaction, it's been years since i heard Quiet Riot, i loved that band. Randy Rhodes ( Ozzy's guitarist) actually formed Quiet Riot in 1973 and Kevin Dubrow was the lead singer. They have alot of great hits Slick Black Cadillac, Cum On feel the Noise, basically that whole album is a banger
Fun facts. Randy Rhodes was the original guitarist before leaving to play with ozzy. Rudy Sarzo, the bass player Also played with ozzy and is the bass player you commented about in one of white snakes videos. I think he’s been on more big albums than almost any bass player in metal. I saw them play in a small studio with about 8 people about six months before Kevin passed.. they were still incredible. So many memories here
OZZIE OSBORNE - " No More Tears (Official Video) " 90s Heavy Metal Classics 🎸🎹🔥 AMAZING Song great sound and vocals the Bass intro is so COOL. Highly recommend it.
When I hear this song it brings me back to working at a scout camp and doing the maintance on the swim and boat docks with the radio cranked! Our water Director would make us change the station if this came on. He claimed that it was about self pleasure. He later ended up in prison for what Scout leaders unfortunately became famous for.
I saw this video on Friday night videos. A late night music video show that came on one of the mainstream networks. I think this was before MTV actually started.
Frankie Banali later stated that Quiet Riot had wanted to create an icon for the band, and that Sarzo had suggested something akin to Alexandre Dumas' "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1847). The story of the three musketeers.
Thats Right Brother... MY FIRST OUT OF TOWN BIG CITY CONCERT. WHITESNAKE OPENING FOR THE MAIN GROUP....Q.U.I.E.T R.I.O.T. OCT 1984. WICHITA KS. WILL NEVER FORGET....And YES. I Got The GLOW IN THE DARK .."QUIET RIOT" CONCERT T-SHIRT....

I still have the album. My daughter saw it and we played it. She was blown away. Hispanic dude, 58, who grew up in the hood in Houston. My music was EW&F, Commodores, Prince MJ, Zapp, ConFunkShun plus country, tejano, & light rock but MTV changed everything. I was introduced to Zeppelin, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Idol, White snake and so much more. Great time to be a teenager. Music was music. No boundaries.
You are 100% correct the message in this song, that the music is good for your mental health. I have been saying it since I was very young; "Metal is Music to Calm the Savage Beast". The heavier and harder it is, the better. For me, if the music is heavy enough to make at least the average person cower in a corner, crying in fear in a fetal position with a blanket over them, then that is my kind of music. .. I'll be 58 in September. I've always been a Metal Head. I've been hooked on Metal since Black Sabbath when I was around five six years old. I first heard them when I was at one of my Uncle's house; he had their first album "Black Sabbath". They are the beginnings of Heavy Metal. Just to name a few. 70's and 80's Hard Rock, Metal, Thrash Metal and Death Metal bands: Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Motorhead, Venom, Accept, Twisted Sister, Krokus, Dan Zig, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sepultura, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Carcass, Testament, Napalm Death, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Dio, Queens Ryche, Death, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Autopsy, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Exodus, Hirax... There are many more obscure bands that are hard to find now that were really good. Search for 'list of 70's and 80's heavy metal and death metal bands". You will find many.
Solid Gold was a very popular family show on prime time hahahaha all the dancers looked like strippers in gold lame' hahahaha it would probably not make on tv nowadays...
BP. Glad you finally got to the comments. I suggested this and a few others a few weeks back. It looks like, from the comment section and your reaction, this was a big thumbs up for all involved. I was a big metal head in the early 80's. About the time a band called Wasp came on the scene, I started to sour on all the satanic death focus and migrated to hip hop and R&B. My Dad used to get up in the morning listening to extended long plays on cassette booming from my Sony boombox, that he wished he had never bought me. My Dad even learned the lyrics to one of the songs...his favorite lyrics..."50 dollar sneakers, you ain't got no job!". I can't even remember what song that was from or who sang it at the moment. I also remember all my cousins rappin to Run DMC's, "You Be Ill'n". When I was real little I owned the WAR ALBUM, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" that "Low Rider" came from. We lived in Long Beach at the time. That album got played non stop in our house by me and all my cousins. I remember one of the songs on that album had the lyrics "Funky, Funky, Funky" on repeat and that was another one of the times my Dad learned lyrics. My Dad was a little Guamanian dude, so if you can picture that dancing up in me and all my cousins faces 😮😊😊singing "Funky, Funky, Funky". He was so tired of that album that he would do this anytime the album was played. Perhaps at that time, my Dad was in serious need of some "Metal Health". I felt the same way as a kid when my Dad would put on his favorite music...Freddy Fender... "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights". We were a multi-cultural family and still are! We were and still are culturally insensitive, we have so many races in my family, we just bag on everyone and no one gets hurt or needs counseling because of it. We all mostly have something called a sense of humor, something that seems to be elusive nowadays. I think a sense of humor is hiding somewhere with common sense, maybe the result of not enough head banging!
I can remember being 13 in 1983 when this song came out and I couldn’t get enough of it, nobody could get enough. Epic, instant classic, MAGIC! Come on Feel the Noise - perfection!
Classic hair metal. Released in 1983 as the hair metal scene was becoming a big thing on the Sunset Strip. Quiet Riot was on the forefront of the hair metal scene in the late 70's/early 80's with bands like Van Halent (not really hair metal but part of the scene), Ratt, Motley Crue and others. Thankfully, MTV was around and they helped bring bands like this to the public and we got to see these crazy videos, which were nuts but we loved it. Kevin Durbow (lead singer) was a character but the guy had a voice that rocked and he could belt out vocals. Being live at a QR concert was an experience. When this song was being played the arena would go nuts. Everyone would sing BANG YOUR HEAD and it would make the hairs on your body stand up. RIP Kevin!
I have that mask from the 80s!!! My husband used to wear it on Halloween with a big black hat and coat for the trick-or-treating. The kids loved it! One kid said," whoa, it's Jason's dad!!" It now adorns my weird old mannequin, Monique 😅😂❤❤❤❤❤
A very interesting take on the song. Hadn't really heard that before and I'm 53 and grew up listening to this. Really appreciate your take on these songs. Keep rockin'!!
I love that you get this, I grew up in the 80s I remember when this was top of the charts and playing 24/7 on Mtv, back when they really played music videos on Mtv
I grew up in the 80's and banged my head as a teenager with no problems and I can't do it now because like you I get dizzy but the 80's will go down as one of the best times to be alive and also one of the best decades for music.
Dude this content is so special to me and my generation that grew up blasting Metal from our boom boxes driving parents crazy. My parents thought we were all going straight to hell. The best part of your videos is reading the comments and seeing that I am not the only one that loved those days before we learned how bad "adulting would be. I loved Grunge but this album kicked it all off for me, it was mine all other generations hated it. Please keep producing this content.
Quiet Riot were huge in the 80's and was lucky enough to have seen them in my hometown of Montréal back then. It was my first ever Rock show at 16 yrs old and it was wild!!! R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow (singer) & Frankie Banali ( drummer)
You are taking me back to my teens!!! Loved this song! This song came out in 1983 and Silence of the Lambs came out in 1991. Corey Taylor of Slipknot said his influences for his band........Slipknot draw influence from an array of styles and bands, most notably including hard rock and heavy metal bands such as Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Helmet, Slayer, Fear Factory, Godflesh, Skinny Puppy, Neurosis, Judas Priest, Metallica, White Zombie, Led Zeppelin and Beastie Boys.
This band was the first wave of the Hollywood Heavy Metal bands from the 80's. I think they were also the first heavy metal band to go #1 on the Billboard charts with this album. After this lots of record companies started signing bands from the Sunset Strip and Hollywood. This band was started with Randy Rhodes on guitar and the lead singer Kevin DuBrow. They tried for years to get signed, but always just couldn't get the deal done. Randy Rhodes left this band to join Ozzy Osbourne on Ozzy's first album after he got kicked out of Black Sabbath. They did this album on a small budget and it took off with 2 major singles, the title track (This song here), and Cum On Feel The Noise (Which was a cover tune of a 70's song by Slade). It went multi-platinum. They were the #1 band and then...Kevin DuBrow started doing interviews in the metal magazines of the day (Circus and Hit Parader) and started talking bad about other bands that got signed out of Hollywood. Saying things like they didn't pay their dues. They weren't as talented. Their albums were not as good as Quiet Riot's. Their shows weren't as good live. And on and on. He went after everyone...Motley Crue, Ratt, Dokken, were the biggest names I remember him calling out specifically. Great White too, now that I think about it. Their follow up album (Mama Were All Crazy Now) sold ok. I think it went at least gold...eventually platinum. Their first single the title track was on the charts (It was also a cover tune of a Slade song). However...people started to avoid their shows. Attendance was down. Same thing happened with album #3 it sold even less than the 2nd with no singles in the charts. And they faded pretty much from that point on. They still toured, small venues. But they never made it back on the national scene. They were not invited to be an opening act on national tours to rebuild their following. Rudy Sarzo, the bassist, went on to play with Whitesnake and other bands. He had a stellar career that is still going. Carlos Cavazo the guitarist never reached a national level with another band as far as I know. Kevin DuBrow died in the 2000's. Frankie Banalli, the drummer kept the band going a couple years longer after DeuBrow died, but he died a few years ago. So the band is no more as far as I know. I do remember that I made the metal mask in shop class in 7th grade as my graded project.
This brings back such awesome memories!! I loved being a teenager in the 80’s!! The scene in Footloose where he’s blasting this in his car when he pulls up to school on his first day is classic!! 🤘🤣
This was one of the first metal albums I purchased (in the 8th grade). Also, lead singer Kevin Dubrow passed away a few years back. His brother is Terry Dubrow, one of the plastic surgeons from the show Botched. He also showed up occasionally with his wife on Beverly Hills Housewives. He mentioned Kevin a few times and had the Platinum Albums from his brother hanging in his home.
Out of all the concerts I've seen, this is the only one I had front row tickets too...was great. have some good black and white photos of them. RIP Kevin and Frankie...Love this album, it was what I listened to going to work and back.
You are getting it man. Metal music is the perfect release for frustration. Everytime I have a really bad day it's my number one choice for listening. And there's a song for every occasion that you run into. But the real great thing about Metal is a live concert. The electricity in the air when your favorite band is on is just addictive. I hope you get some recommendations for the band wasp. I would recommend their song headless children to start with. Blackie Lawless the lead singer is one of a kind, and also a legend in metal music.
Ozzy brought most of us to this band back in the day. It was the band Randy Rhoads was playing for when he made the switch and people were like ... "where did this guy come from?" It actually helped both acts. Carlos Cavazo was the guitarist here ... and that is really obvious if you know Randy's playing. Carlos stepped in for Randy when he left. Ozzy gave Quiet Riot a little ratings pop but they never really reached huge amounts of fame. They kind of blended in with all the hair metal bands of the time without Rhoads phenomenal guitar licks and riffs. Ironically much of Randy's material with Quiet Riot never gained mainstream popularity.
Along with Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot is one of the bands that helped make Heavy Metal mainstream. Their songs were played along with the other Top 40 songs. One could listen to the radio and hear Madonna, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Quiet Riot, and Stevie Nicks all in the same afternoon.
BP Do not miss this ROCK ANTHEM by Twisted Sister ***WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT*** I was a good Catholic girl and not allowed to listen to Twisted Sister...so I listened to Twisted Sister and took notes. I crack myself up...laughing so hard right now. (Let me say once again, boys in makeup is not new and now these guys are in commercials!!!)
@@ConspiracySmurf During the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, I figured Twisted Sister would sing about satanism and things. It wasn't until the 1990s that I got access to some albums and found out they're a fairly wholesome band. A running theme is "life is tough, so you have to be tougher" and there are some references to God and faith.
October 16th 1984, I was almost 12 years old. Helix, Whitesnake, and Quiet Riot was my first show ever. I got the tickets for my birthday. Things were different back then. My dad dropped me, my brother and my cousin off at the gates, and my aunt picked us up when the show was over. I was the oldest at 11. It was great, amazing, and changed my life. Quiet Riot was my first taste of metal.
gotta love the late 80's early 90's metal. to answer you question about some underground hip hop taking from early metal you are very correct. not only cage, but artists like aesop rock, el-p, eyedea and abilities, and many others. a perfect example of this is run dmc working with aerosmith in walk this way. they all took some inspiration from older rockers. thank you so much for the amazing review. keep on rocking 🤘
My fav song of theirs (a little bit of a deep cut), "Slick Black Cadillac". "Come On Feel The Noise" was right with this song in EPICNESS! These guys were ON TOP with this album Metal Health, released in 1983, which is known for being the first heavy metal album to top the Billboard album chart. Quiet Riot was founded in Los Angeles in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. Randy went on to join OZZY and was co-songwriter on his first two solo albums in '80 and '81.
A truly underrated group in history in my opinion. One of my favorite 80s bands. Randy Rhodes was a founding member in the early days. Which eventually he went on to play for Ozzy, leaving the band before their big success.
The 80's were my 20's, freaking awesome!!!! I lived in KCMO and we girls would be driving across the city bar to bar and this on the stereo at the max volume!!! Yes I am still a headbanger from WAY back!
Dude, I am so with ya. If you let the music engulf you, no matter the genre, you're gonna have a great time. Nothing makes me happier than plugging my Gibson in and playing along to rock and metal that I LOVE. Nothing. I become a part of it and it becomes a part of me.

Being a teenager in the 80’s was magical!
100% I was in military bases with computers at 13 in 1983 🤣 when no one but kids live what they were doing lmao. My mum put a phone lock on, so I just tapped the numbers on the cradle thingy 😂😂😂😂
Oh and our poor church going parents 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I would say to my mum, you had elvis!!!!! 😂😂😂😂
From what I remember...lol
it can never be matched amazing time
Yup
“I got the boys, to make the noise, won’t ever let up, I hope it annoys you”. Great lyrics for those of us teenagers at the time
Now that you're here, there's no way back. 😅
Sounds like Eminem lyrics lmao
Reminds me of "Earache My Eye" :D
I was 17 when this came out and it stills rocks today with me.
I'm 66 and this resonates with how I feel about music. I will never hesitate on any given day to be driving with this music blaring from my 2019 Dark Horse Mustang! I want everyone to hear it. And if they sing with me at a red light, so be it! ❤
These guys kicked off the Hair Metal craze of the 1980s with this song and ‘Come On Feel the Noise’. Highly recommend that one too.
That's a Slade cover
Hair Metal era started when Poison came in 1985. Look at the cover. Hair tease, this is classic metal.
@@genxer4846thank you. I hate that so many people think “hair metal” was a thing in the first half of the 80’s….it wasn’t a thing at all yet.
@@genxer4846 dude I lived it. I don’t know what you read in some magazine or online, but you’re wrong.
@@mercedogreperhaps it is a Slade Cover but who made it famous and who did it best? No criticism of you but my humble observation ❤
Metal Health was the first Heavy Metal album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart. R.I.P. Frankie Banali & Kevin DuBrow
100%
Also rest in peace Randy rhoads who helped start the band
@@richardalbert7506 Yes thank you
I really wish I had the chance to catch em live
When you mentioned Keven Dubrow you forgot Randy Roads died before them. I do believe.
My dad used to blast this song! him driving, mom in the passenger seat, roof off the big lifted blazer and 2 little girls absolutely rocking out in the backseat. Still one of my favorite childhood memories. I can still see mine and my sister's hair flying crazy with our horns up 🤘🏻❤
I remember buying my first car at 15. Driving back and forth to school with my siblings just blasting QR. My father always knew when we left for school. He could hear my system from inside the house.
@@mattbrown5511 damn straight Bro. AS a teenage countryboy , when this came out. Put bigger amp and more speakers in my PU, just so i could BANG MY HEAD 😎
Best reminiscing post I've heard in a while. It sounds as if you had a super cool set of parents... Very blessed.
@@lucypoopies thank you! They definitely are awesome!
Amazing comment. :)
One of the singers final concerts was Rocklahoma. Before leaving stage he said they would be back the next year. The band did return the next year and played but the crowd provided the vocals singing to him in heaven
I was 14 or 15 years old when was released. I was instantly hooked on heavy metal. I call it music with attitude. To this day at 56 years old, heavy metal is still my favorite genre of music. And to bring it full circle, about three years ago my daughter asked what song I want to play when I walked into a room. I played Bang Your Head from my playlist.
🤘
I'm 57 and I agree 100%.
I'm 56 too! I had this album.
I turned 57 last month, Quite Riot, Twisted Sister and Rush.... These were our favorite cassettes to play as we cruised Fremont Street and Las Vegas Boulevard here in Vegas.
Cruising was a big deal back then but then they enclosed Fremont Street, creating the "Fremont Street Experience" and the Las Vegas Strip also known as Las Vegas Boulevard, way too congestive to cruise. Growing up in Vegas there really isn't a lot for kids to do, then they take away all the innocent cruising that they were doing.... Innocent. Hahahah 😅😂
This is what happened to Gen X. I was in 6th grade, heard it once and my soul changed before the song ended...my clothes turned black, my earrings got big, my hair poofed up, my makeup got black and my attitude got bad...maybe it was the head banging that I learned to do that day...maybe I hurt myself....it all never went away. 52, wearing all black with wild hair banging my head to Quiet Riot on a quiet Sunday morning. All is as it should be...we swore to never grow up or grow old! \m/ metal fingers up! :)
Same here...lol ..
I'm 55. I can relate. Love the 80s
Best decade of rock ever!! This album was definitely ground breaking!!
I remember when they hit the scene. I was 13. I would sit by the stereo ready to record them on cassette. Lol. That's the way we made our playlist back in the day. Lol.
Tdk?
Did you ever get to see them in concert? I went when I was 20 back in 1985. Really good concert. They were in concert with White Snake and Alcatraz opened. I don’t recommend Alcatraz. They sucked.
They don’t make them like this anymore.
@@SchwinningTeams TDK was a brand of cassette tape. Their ads said "Music lives on TDK"
Man these kids today will never understand the struggle.
@@erikaronska1096 I bought those in 3 packs and always ready to record..haha!
Randy Rhodes was a founding member of Quiet Riot
Yeah, I thought that looked like him playing the guitar with blonde hair.😊
@@jedolivier2688that's a different guy. But yes randy was a huge part of quiet riot until he left the band for ozzy
The guy in the video is Carlos.
Randy died in 82

First metal album to go #1
I took a walk last night and passed by a bar that was filled with college students. They were listening to 80s music. It’s someplace that wouldn’t even feel right for me to stop at because they were all college kids. There were no adults in the room so to speak.
This type of music will come back. Because everything cycles.
The reaction channels are keeping it alive! :)
It already has but you need to look to Japan.
Im 25 but since about 17-18 I really started loving 80s music and at this point it's all I listen to. Most genres.
You'd always hear it on the radio but when you really listen its like oh man there was some sweet bands
This was the first metal LP is hit #1 on the Billboard chart and it forced a lot of rock FM radio stations that were resistant to 80s metal to finally give in. In a matter of weeks in 1983 the band went from opening for Black Sabbath in the US (the Sabbath version that had Deep Purple's Ian Gillan on lead vocals doing a cover of "Smoke On the Water" live BTW), then opening for Judas Priest in the UK, to headlining arenas in the US (w Night Ranger and Girlschool in support) with the same 7-8 song set the album blew up so fast. By the time were back in the UK to headline in March 1984 they were up 14 songs and more of a proper set.
Quiet Riot was influenced by a Scottish group called Slade. They even covered one of their songs called “ Cum Feel the Noise “.
@@linkloudenback8359 and Mama Weer All Crazee Now
QR actually covered TWO Slade songs. Mama Weer All Crazee Now was also a Slade cover.
@@barndude5562 and Britny Fox covered one - Gudbuy T’Jane
Slade's version was much more sedate sounding, even though the tempo was the same.
Scottish??? Came from the Black Country in the midlands
Quick fact randy Rhoads of ozzy fame started this band in the late 70s
I have 2 Japanese import Quiet Riot CD's with Randy on both. Rudy Sarzo also left QR to play for Özzy, but later rejoined QR after Kevin DuBrow passed away.
@@brheinfeldt I saw Rudy playing with Whitesnake. He's made the rounds. But yeah, I always thought of him as the bass player in Quiet Riot.
Randy Rhoads was a guitar god!!!!
@@brheinfeldtThat's awesome
Randy Rhoades would have been about 9 years old at that time. He was 15 when he joined Ozzy.
Proving that MTV was a true force to be reckoned with at one time, Metal Health came right on the heels of Def Leppard's Pyromania in heavy rotation, and the vanguard of pop/hair metal was here to stay.
BP...Def Leppard's drummer had ONE ARM! You have to hear them, you won't believe it!
@@ConspiracySmurf I've seen DL at least 7-8 times since he lost his arm.
Even Bloodhound Gang did a song referencing it. Lol
I met Kevin DuBrow in 1989, and got to know him throughout the years, especially when he worked for KOMP; dude was awesome, and so full of fun. When he passed, I literally cried it out - he was a friend and musical idol.
I was born in 78. I grew up with all this music on MTV. Thanks for all the reactions to the classics
I forgot how much I loved this song! I used to listen to this when I was 8 or 9 years old along with Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, and Guns N Roses
Stop making me feel old 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I was 3 when this came out and 18 with guns and roses 🌹 ❤
I was 12 when this song & video came out. There were a lot of White boys, Hispanic boys, Asian boys and European boys who went to these concerts. Heavy Metal has always brought so many cultures together
Yeah, remember when we were against labels, everybody was included and got along and hung out and shared music, food, hairstyles, fashion, and makeup and we were all happy?
Every metal concert the majority of people dont give a fuck what you look like we're here to ROCK! Of course there are gatekeepers and racists in all groups unfortunately.
Music was more segregated where I came from at that time. I'm glad things change.
I had the honor of meeting the lead singer, Kevin DuBrow when I was maybe 13-14 at a fast food place. I was very starstruck and fortunately, he was very kind to me. (Fun fact, the lead singer's brother is on the TV show Botched, Dr. Terry DuBrow)
I really do enjoy being in my 50s listening to guys in their 40s explain to people in their 30s why kids in their 20s like stuff from the 80s.
This song is also featured in the movie Footloose. Kevin Bacon's character is blasting this song on his car radio when he gets pulled over by the police.
This was the biggest song in the world when it was released. It was everywhere and has stood the test of time as a musical masterpiece.
So many memories from my teen years! I recognized the great Rudy Sarzo, the bassist who later joined big names as Ozzy, Dio and Whitesnake
For lots of us that were young teens in the early '80's, Quiet Riot, along with Twisted Sister, Ozzy, and a handful of others, were the jumping off point for our introduction to Heavy Metal and a whole new world. Great reaction, Pegasus! Thanks!
A HUGE 80s anthem for us 80s kids and teens (HS Class of 1987 here)
'86 in the house 🤘
'88 here
Class of '91 genXR here. 🤘
Class of 85
This song and this album were the first metal album to hit the top of the Billboard charts. It caused the labels to stop thinking metal was dead and to search out bands like them. It led directly to glam metal even though this band at this time sounded more like normal bands like Accept, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and other normal bands. This band is often thought of as the Nirvana of glam metal.
That’s wild 🤯
@@BlackPegasusRaps *SAGA* - _On The Loose_ and _Wind Him Up (Album Version)_ You will thank me later.
Talk about a blast from the past! I haven’t thought about Quiet Riot in forever, I actually forgot what a banger this is. Hard Rock and Heavy Metal from the 70’s and 80’s are my jam. The beat, the heavy drums and guitar, and the vocalists were some of the most talented artists in the music industry. Oh, and FYI Silence of the Lambs was about 10 years after this. Thanks for the reminder ❤
I love this it was my brothers favorite group and you got it, Thanks for this great reaction.❤❤
They told us this wasn’t real rock n roll as they pointed to their Led Zeppelin shirts. Guns n Roses brought us all back together. Sex, Drugs & Rock n Roll! We chanted We get Drunk, We get High, We’re the class of ‘85 at every pep rally & football game 😎
84!
Sex Drugs Rock and More , were the class of 84 ! lol 😂
Beer is good, schools a bore, we're the class of '84.
@@MrAnex1966 lmao ! 84 ROCKS !!!!!!
I was 14 when this came out in 1983. It busted in the doors! I grew my hair long and within a year, the Heavy Metal sound was EVERYWHERE! The 80's were amazing!!!
This is OG Metal right here, that makes it #Legendary
Judas priest, black sabbath, iron maiden. Those are OG metal. I viewed quiet riot as rock, not even metal.
This is classic heavy metal when I was 18 I'm 60 now and this brings back so many memories!!! I still have that quiet riot on cassette.
There's hundreds of 80's metal/rock you haven't done yet. At least you cracked the surface
Scorpions. The Zoo.
I love your commentary on this one, this is EXACTLY why I subscribed to this channel. You are so much fun to watch, discovering the music I grew up with.... I was born in 1968, so this stuff was my coming of age music, and I love your appreciation of it :)
The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991. Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head, Released November 1983
I'm 55. I lived entire 80s as a teen. Wouldn't change a thing. A time of greatness.
MTV had this on constant rotation in the 80s 😂
Along with Scorpions Hurricane.
The legendary Rudy Sarzo on bass. He also played in Whitesnake for many years. One of the greatest rock bassists ever and a super nice guy.
I literally listened to this band when I was in elementary school. I saw this the first time around 3rd grade!
“Come on feel the noise” was a song that even the girls in ELEMENTARY school knew by this band.
They seem to disappear pretty quick or the next few years, but most 80s kids will recognize these guys.
Really liked these guys, so glad to see you react to one of their songs. This one was good, but "CUM ON FEEL THE NOIZE" is the one you really need to hear. Twisted Sister and Aldo Nova are a couple more from this era that you might enjoy. Thanks for this one, today!!!
I wasn't into metal when this came out, but I definitely remember that a lot of kids at my high school wore Quiet Riot T-shirts. Hearing it now, I should've given it more of a chance back then.
Ditto
I'm 55 & this is one of my favorite rock songs.
I also meant to say this is the original lead singer Kevin DuBrow. Quiet Riot has had 3 or 4 lead singers (sorry the exact number is now escaping me.) This lead singer was with the inception of Quiet Riot but sadly passed away in 2007. He was crazy! Literally crazy. The antics he did on stage is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
I was a whyte kid in the 80's rocking out to Quiet Riot and Def Leppard, also break dancing with my mexican neighbors on cardboard on their concrete driveway. We used to cross back then. Music brings people together. Embrace it.
This brings me back to my late teen years! Went to a Quiet Riot concert and afterwards went to my hotel and got in the elevator. I wasn't really paying attention but as the elevator started moving, I looked up and realized that I was in the elevator with Quiet Riot. I just stood there in shock. lol
Lucky. :)
Thank you for this reaction, it's been years since i heard Quiet Riot, i loved that band. Randy Rhodes ( Ozzy's guitarist) actually formed Quiet Riot in 1973 and Kevin Dubrow was the lead singer. They have alot of great hits Slick Black Cadillac, Cum On feel the Noise, basically that whole album is a banger
Fun facts. Randy Rhodes was the original guitarist before leaving to play with ozzy. Rudy Sarzo, the bass player Also played with ozzy and is the bass player you commented about in one of white snakes videos. I think he’s been on more big albums than almost any bass player in metal. I saw them play in a small studio with about 8 people about six months before Kevin passed.. they were still incredible. So many memories here
OZZIE OSBORNE - " No More Tears (Official Video) " 90s Heavy Metal Classics 🎸🎹🔥 AMAZING Song great sound and vocals the Bass intro is so COOL. Highly recommend it.
When I hear this song it brings me back to working at a scout camp and doing the maintance on the swim and boat docks with the radio cranked! Our water Director would make us change the station if this came on. He claimed that it was about self pleasure. He later ended up in prison for what Scout leaders unfortunately became famous for.
hahaha
Yes indeed,im a punk rocker from wayyy back and this is hard rock from wayyy back. Indeed, this is good stuff .
I saw this video on Friday night videos. A late night music video show that came on one of the mainstream networks.
I think this was before MTV actually started.
Friday night fights, I had no cable living to far out, so watching the top 5 video fights at midnight was great.
Yep. I remember that show.
I think I saw it on Night Tracks. My father opted not to get M-TV on cable when I was at home.
Frankie Banali later stated that Quiet Riot had wanted to create an icon for the band, and that Sarzo had suggested something akin to Alexandre Dumas' "The Man in the Iron Mask" (1847). The story of the three musketeers.
Thats Right Brother... MY FIRST OUT OF TOWN BIG CITY CONCERT. WHITESNAKE OPENING FOR THE MAIN GROUP....Q.U.I.E.T R.I.O.T. OCT 1984. WICHITA KS. WILL NEVER FORGET....And YES. I Got The GLOW IN THE DARK .."QUIET RIOT" CONCERT T-SHIRT....

I still have the album. My daughter saw it and we played it. She was blown away. Hispanic dude, 58, who grew up in the hood in Houston. My music was EW&F, Commodores, Prince MJ, Zapp, ConFunkShun plus country, tejano, & light rock but MTV changed everything. I was introduced to Zeppelin, Ozzy, Def Leppard, Idol, White snake and so much more. Great time to be a teenager. Music was music. No boundaries.
Kevin Dubrow is the brother to the doctor off of the series Botched..Terry. Rest easy Kevin..
You are 100% correct the message in this song, that the music is good for your mental health. I have been saying it since I was very young; "Metal is Music to Calm the Savage Beast". The heavier and harder it is, the better. For me, if the music is heavy enough to make at least the average person cower in a corner, crying in fear in a fetal position with a blanket over them, then that is my kind of music. ..
I'll be 58 in September. I've always been a Metal Head. I've been hooked on Metal since Black Sabbath when I was around five six years old. I first heard them when I was at one of my Uncle's house; he had their first album "Black Sabbath". They are the beginnings of Heavy Metal.
Just to name a few. 70's and 80's Hard Rock, Metal, Thrash Metal and Death Metal bands:
Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Motorhead, Venom, Accept, Twisted Sister, Krokus, Dan Zig, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Sepultura, Quiet Riot, Ratt, Carcass, Testament, Napalm Death, Scorpions, Def Leppard, Dio, Queens Ryche, Death, Morbid Angel, Deicide, Autopsy, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Exodus, Hirax...
There are many more obscure bands that are hard to find now that were really good.
Search for 'list of 70's and 80's heavy metal and death metal bands". You will find many.
They played this on tv, Solid Gold with Deon Warwick! Lol
Solid Gold was a very popular family show on prime time hahahaha all the dancers looked like strippers in gold lame' hahahaha it would probably not make on tv nowadays...
Seen QR so many times in 80s, even was lucky enough to have seen them when Randy Rhoads was in the band. BANG YOUR HEAD!!!!
💥💀💥...still got my OG vinyl from when thus came out. Idk how it survived me...🤘
Way Cool Dude.. when that came out. Same with RATT. Out of the Cellar... It's like. It's OFFICIALLY. OUR GENERATIONS MUSIC... NAME TO CLAIM....
Thank you sir for getting the fun of the song. You got it. At the time it was super hard but same message. You win.
This album was my 1983
Lee Aaron Metal Queen 🇨🇦
Spot on, Pegasus. This was my favorite work out music when I was in Junior High. Always crank it to 11 to this day. Love it!
If you wanna really know about the 80's Metal scene, you MUST watch The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. It's fantastic!!
I was 19 in ‘83 when this came out, the beach, an old cutlass, Pabst, and girls…….. life was perfect.
Come on feel the noise is another banger by quiet riot. Also could you check out Head East-Never been any reason. Thanks
BP. Glad you finally got to the comments. I suggested this and a few others a few weeks back. It looks like, from the comment section and your reaction, this was a big thumbs up for all involved. I was a big metal head in the early 80's. About the time a band called Wasp came on the scene, I started to sour on all the satanic death focus and migrated to hip hop and R&B. My Dad used to get up in the morning listening to extended long plays on cassette booming from my Sony boombox, that he wished he had never bought me. My Dad even learned the lyrics to one of the songs...his favorite lyrics..."50 dollar sneakers, you ain't got no job!". I can't even remember what song that was from or who sang it at the moment. I also remember all my cousins rappin to Run DMC's, "You Be Ill'n". When I was real little I owned the WAR ALBUM, "Why Can't We Be Friends?" that "Low Rider" came from. We lived in Long Beach at the time. That album got played non stop in our house by me and all my cousins. I remember one of the songs on that album had the lyrics "Funky, Funky, Funky" on repeat and that was another one of the times my Dad learned lyrics. My Dad was a little Guamanian dude, so if you can picture that dancing up in me and all my cousins faces 😮😊😊singing "Funky, Funky, Funky". He was so tired of that album that he would do this anytime the album was played. Perhaps at that time, my Dad was in serious need of some "Metal Health". I felt the same way as a kid when my Dad would put on his favorite music...Freddy Fender...
"Wasted Days and Wasted Nights". We were a multi-cultural family and still are! We were and still are culturally insensitive, we have so many races in my family, we just bag on everyone and no one gets hurt or needs counseling because of it. We all mostly have something called a sense of humor, something that seems to be elusive nowadays. I think a sense of humor is hiding somewhere with common sense, maybe the result of not enough head banging!
Another great Quiet Riot song is "Slick Black Cadillac."
I can remember being 13 in 1983 when this song came out and I couldn’t get enough of it, nobody could get enough. Epic, instant classic, MAGIC! Come on Feel the Noise - perfection!
Got a song for you to the wifey. "You made me so very happy" by Blood Sweat and Tears. ✌️❤️
Classic hair metal. Released in 1983 as the hair metal scene was becoming a big thing on the Sunset Strip. Quiet Riot was on the forefront of the hair metal scene in the late 70's/early 80's with bands like Van Halent (not really hair metal but part of the scene), Ratt, Motley Crue and others. Thankfully, MTV was around and they helped bring bands like this to the public and we got to see these crazy videos, which were nuts but we loved it. Kevin Durbow (lead singer) was a character but the guy had a voice that rocked and he could belt out vocals. Being live at a QR concert was an experience. When this song was being played the arena would go nuts. Everyone would sing BANG YOUR HEAD and it would make the hairs on your body stand up. RIP Kevin!
A very young Randy Rhodes
That's Carlos Cavasos. Randy was only on the japanese releases
Randy was gone(joined Ozzy in 80) for three years before this song was released in 1983.
MAN I MISS RANDY! What a talent he was! Thanks for that reminder! Been so long since I remembered that! Classic.. Great Reaction.
I have that mask from the 80s!!! My husband used to wear it on Halloween with a big black hat and coat for the trick-or-treating. The kids loved it! One kid said," whoa, it's Jason's dad!!" It now adorns my weird old mannequin, Monique 😅😂❤❤❤❤❤
Way COOL... Would love that MASK...
A very interesting take on the song. Hadn't really heard that before and I'm 53 and grew up listening to this. Really appreciate your take on these songs. Keep rockin'!!
I graduated from high school in 86. Best music ever in the 80’s
I love that you get this, I grew up in the 80s I remember when this was top of the charts and playing 24/7 on Mtv, back when they really played music videos on Mtv
I grew up in the 80's and banged my head as a teenager with no problems and I can't do it now because like you I get dizzy but the 80's will go down as one of the best times to be alive and also one of the best decades for music.
Dude this content is so special to me and my generation that grew up blasting Metal from our boom boxes driving parents crazy. My parents thought we were all going straight to hell. The best part of your videos is reading the comments and seeing that I am not the only one that loved those days before we learned how bad "adulting would be. I loved Grunge but this album kicked it all off for me, it was mine all other generations hated it. Please keep producing this content.
My all time favorite band, was then still is now. I know every song on every album they ever made.
Quiet Riot were huge in the 80's and was lucky enough to have seen them in my hometown of Montréal back then. It was my first ever Rock show at 16 yrs old and it was wild!!! R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow (singer) & Frankie Banali ( drummer)
You are taking me back to my teens!!! Loved this song! This song came out in 1983 and Silence of the Lambs came out in 1991. Corey Taylor of Slipknot said his influences for his band........Slipknot draw influence from an array of styles and bands, most notably including hard rock and heavy metal bands such as Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Helmet, Slayer, Fear Factory, Godflesh, Skinny Puppy, Neurosis, Judas Priest, Metallica, White Zombie, Led Zeppelin and Beastie Boys.
This band was the first wave of the Hollywood Heavy Metal bands from the 80's. I think they were also the first heavy metal band to go #1 on the Billboard charts with this album. After this lots of record companies started signing bands from the Sunset Strip and Hollywood.
This band was started with Randy Rhodes on guitar and the lead singer Kevin DuBrow. They tried for years to get signed, but always just couldn't get the deal done. Randy Rhodes left this band to join Ozzy Osbourne on Ozzy's first album after he got kicked out of Black Sabbath. They did this album on a small budget and it took off with 2 major singles, the title track (This song here), and Cum On Feel The Noise (Which was a cover tune of a 70's song by Slade). It went multi-platinum.
They were the #1 band and then...Kevin DuBrow started doing interviews in the metal magazines of the day (Circus and Hit Parader) and started talking bad about other bands that got signed out of Hollywood. Saying things like they didn't pay their dues. They weren't as talented. Their albums were not as good as Quiet Riot's. Their shows weren't as good live. And on and on. He went after everyone...Motley Crue, Ratt, Dokken, were the biggest names I remember him calling out specifically. Great White too, now that I think about it.
Their follow up album (Mama Were All Crazy Now) sold ok. I think it went at least gold...eventually platinum. Their first single the title track was on the charts (It was also a cover tune of a Slade song). However...people started to avoid their shows. Attendance was down. Same thing happened with album #3 it sold even less than the 2nd with no singles in the charts. And they faded pretty much from that point on. They still toured, small venues. But they never made it back on the national scene. They were not invited to be an opening act on national tours to rebuild their following.
Rudy Sarzo, the bassist, went on to play with Whitesnake and other bands. He had a stellar career that is still going. Carlos Cavazo the guitarist never reached a national level with another band as far as I know. Kevin DuBrow died in the 2000's. Frankie Banalli, the drummer kept the band going a couple years longer after DeuBrow died, but he died a few years ago. So the band is no more as far as I know.
I do remember that I made the metal mask in shop class in 7th grade as my graded project.
Silence Of The Lambs was in theaters 8 years after Metal Health, Slipknot was several years after that.
This brings back such awesome memories!! I loved being a teenager in the 80’s!! The scene in Footloose where he’s blasting this in his car when he pulls up to school on his first day is classic!! 🤘🤣
First heavy metal album to reach #1 on the Billboard charts.
This was one of the first metal albums I purchased (in the 8th grade). Also, lead singer Kevin Dubrow passed away a few years back. His brother is Terry Dubrow, one of the plastic surgeons from the show Botched. He also showed up occasionally with his wife on Beverly Hills Housewives. He mentioned Kevin a few times and had the Platinum Albums from his brother hanging in his home.
Out of all the concerts I've seen, this is the only one I had front row tickets too...was great. have some good black and white photos of them. RIP Kevin and Frankie...Love this album, it was what I listened to going to work and back.
You are getting it man. Metal music is the perfect release for frustration. Everytime I have a really bad day it's my number one choice for listening. And there's a song for every occasion that you run into. But the real great thing about Metal is a live concert. The electricity in the air when your favorite band is on is just addictive.
I hope you get some recommendations for the band wasp. I would recommend their song headless children to start with. Blackie Lawless the lead singer is one of a kind, and also a legend in metal music.
Ozzy brought most of us to this band back in the day. It was the band Randy Rhoads was playing for when he made the switch and people were like ... "where did this guy come from?" It actually helped both acts.
Carlos Cavazo was the guitarist here ... and that is really obvious if you know Randy's playing. Carlos stepped in for Randy when he left. Ozzy gave Quiet Riot a little ratings pop but they never really reached huge amounts of fame. They kind of blended in with all the hair metal bands of the time without Rhoads phenomenal guitar licks and riffs. Ironically much of Randy's material with Quiet Riot never gained mainstream popularity.
Along with Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot is one of the bands that helped make Heavy Metal mainstream. Their songs were played along with the other Top 40 songs. One could listen to the radio and hear Madonna, Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Quiet Riot, and Stevie Nicks all in the same afternoon.
BP Do not miss this ROCK ANTHEM by Twisted Sister ***WE'RE NOT GONNA TAKE IT*** I was a good Catholic girl and not allowed to listen to Twisted Sister...so I listened to Twisted Sister and took notes. I crack myself up...laughing so hard right now. (Let me say once again, boys in makeup is not new and now these guys are in commercials!!!)
@@ConspiracySmurf During the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, I figured Twisted Sister would sing about satanism and things. It wasn't until the 1990s that I got access to some albums and found out they're a fairly wholesome band. A running theme is "life is tough, so you have to be tougher" and there are some references to God and faith.
October 16th 1984, I was almost 12 years old. Helix, Whitesnake, and Quiet Riot was my first show ever. I got the tickets for my birthday. Things were different back then. My dad dropped me, my brother and my cousin off at the gates, and my aunt picked us up when the show was over. I was the oldest at 11. It was great, amazing, and changed my life. Quiet Riot was my first taste of metal.
gotta love the late 80's early 90's metal. to answer you question about some underground hip hop taking from early metal you are very correct. not only cage, but artists like aesop rock, el-p, eyedea and abilities, and many others. a perfect example of this is run dmc working with aerosmith in walk this way. they all took some inspiration from older rockers. thank you so much for the amazing review. keep on rocking 🤘
My fav song of theirs (a little bit of a deep cut), "Slick Black Cadillac". "Come On Feel The Noise" was right with this song in EPICNESS! These guys were ON TOP with this album Metal Health, released in 1983, which is known for being the first heavy metal album to top the Billboard album chart. Quiet Riot was founded in Los Angeles in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni. Randy went on to join OZZY and was co-songwriter on his first two solo albums in '80 and '81.
Love slick black Cadillac!
A truly underrated group in history in my opinion. One of my favorite 80s bands. Randy Rhodes was a founding member in the early days. Which eventually he went on to play for Ozzy, leaving the band before their big success.
The 80's were my 20's, freaking awesome!!!! I lived in KCMO and we girls would be driving across the city bar to bar and this on the stereo at the max volume!!! Yes I am still a headbanger from WAY back!
Dude, I am so with ya. If you let the music engulf you, no matter the genre, you're gonna have a great time. Nothing makes me happier than plugging my Gibson in and playing along to rock and metal that I LOVE. Nothing. I become a part of it and it becomes a part of me.
