Quiet Riot

Veteran hard rock band Quiet Riot has two claims to fame.
One is their massively popular '83 album
Metal Health, featuring
the title track and the even more popular "Cum On Feel The Noize"
(a cover of the British rock group Slade).
The second claim to fame is that this is where acclaimed guitarist
Randy Rhoads got his start, before making it big as
Ozzy Osbourne's first
lead guitarist and then tragically being killed in an accident
a few years later.
Often it is mistakenly written that Quiet Riot were the first metal
band to go to #1 with their first album, but in fact
Metal Health
was their third, as the band released two albums in Japan with
Rhoads in the late 70's -- his departure necesitated somewhat of
a style change and
Metal Health was the result.
They were never able to duplicate that album's success,
though they remained a popular live act for some time.
For many years they were an on-again, off-again item, under
various lineups, until
1999, at which time the classic
Metal Health lineup came back
together.
That version survived until September 2003, when they announced
their (presumably) final breakup.
However, the duo of Kevin DuBrow and Frankie Banali decided to
work together once again, and with a couple of hired guns in tow,
recorded
Rehab in 2006, reportedly a departure from the classic
QR style, towards a more 70's rock sound.
Sadly, that reformation came to an end in late 2007, with the unfortunate
passing of DuBrow.
