Quiet Riot
 | |||
| Quiet Riot The hair metal group Quiet Riot formed in
1975 as a standard hard rock group showcasing the talents of vocalist Kevin DuBrow
and guitarist Randy Rhoads. When Rhoads quit the band in 1979 to work with Ozzy
Osbourne, DuBrow took Quiet Riot in a more pop direction, blending glam and pop
with the group's pre-existing hard rock sound. The result, 1983's Metal Health,
reached No. 1 and went platinum -- a first for a heavy metal band -- and spawned
the megahits "Cum On Feel the Noize" (originally by Slade) and "Metal
Health." Several more similar-sounding albums followed, maintaining Quiet
Riot's status as one of the most popular hair metal bands of the 1980s. From: http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bio.asp?oid=3470&cf=3470 | |||
