Heavy metal band Quiet Riot rocketed to fame in 1983 with a remake of a Slade song, 'Cum On Feel The Noize', and a US number 1 album, Metal Health - the first metal album to reach that position in the US charts. However, they were unable to maintain that momentum with subsequent releases. The band formed in 1975 with lanky vocalist Kevin DuBrow, Randy Rhoads, Drew Forsyth and Kelly Garni, taking their name from a suggestion made by Status Quo 's Rick Parfitt. They recorded two albums with that line-up, released only in Japan, that are now collector's items. Rudy Sarzo then replaced Garni. Rhoads left in 1979 to join Ozzy Osbourne and was later tragically killed in a plane crash in March 1982. At that point the band briefly split up, with some members joining the vocalist in a band called DuBrow, Sarzo also working with Osbourne. Quiet Riot regrouped around DuBrow, Sarzo, guitarist Carlos Cavazo and drummer Frankie Banali and signed to the Pasha label for their breakthrough album and single in 1983, their musical and visual style fashioned after the harder-rocking glam acts of the 70s. Friction within the group followed their quick success and resultant publicity affected sales of the 1984 follow-up, Condition Critical, which reached number 15 in the US charts. Sarzo was replaced by Chuck Wright in 1985. Quiet Riot recorded another album in 1986, which reached number 31. DuBrow and Wright were subsequently ejected from the band and a self-titled 1988 album, with new vocalist Paul Shortino (ex- Rough Cutt ) and Sean McNabb on bass, barely scraped the charts. The group then disbanded, Banali later working with W.A.S.P. DuBrow put together a new version of the group in the 90s, releasing two additional albums, of which this is one - released in 1995.
