Great info video! Im proud to say I own that original record still. My favorite is Don't want to let you go.

I found a cassette of Quiet Riot: The Randy Rhoads Years at a Pick 'N' Save in 1997 when I was thirteen. I was totally stoked, and very surprised to find such an obscure gem there of all places. I remember I was also having a bit of a bummer day before that, too. I was pretty new to heavy metal, and had read about Rhoads being in Quet Riot, but figured I'd never get to hear any of that stuff. It was all live stuff, but the quality was superb. I still have the cassette and listened to it a couple years ago. It's interesting because you don't typically (ever?) hear Randy Rhoads playing in major in his work with Ozzy, but I think everything on that tape was in major. His style and tone are unmistakeable, regardless, but it's pretty clear playing with Ozzy gave him the opportunity to really shine in his very unique way that he probably couldn't have with any other band. Edit: well, Crazy Train was obviously in major, so I guess he did play in major with Ozzy. Parts of the song Diary of Madman are, as well, I believe.

Slade had a Top 40 hit the following year with the song "Run Runaway", after the huge success of Quiet Riot's cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize".

Very brief 80's Metal history lesson for those who werent there. Quiet Riot took that song to the masses outside the UK and it fit perfectly with their own other song hits "Metal Health" (Bang your head) and others. 👉Regardless, TRUE credit for Heavy Metal's success starts with Van Halen (1978 huge debut) then Judas Priest, Ozzy, and Scorpions (all had iconic "Metal" songs in 80) Iron Maiden in (82) then Motley Crue, Def Leppard and other bands changed the game with so many great albums in 1983! 💯 Metal bands back then we're always inspiring others and trying to outdo other bands, it was a amazingly FAST competition in the 80's! Back then bands cranked out new albums every 2yrs and toured constantly! 💪 Not 4-6yrs like now. QR just opened the door to the masses (not good) in 83 and the fact that their album was the first Metal album to break the Billboard Hot 100 and reach #1 proves it. Bon Jovi pushed "Metal" as far as it could go mainstream in 86 with their #1 hit album "Slippery When Wet". But by 90, nearly everything was tried, and Warrant took the "Heavy" part out of Metal and destroyed it with their pop crappy "Cherry pie" song! 🤮 In 91 Nirvana reset the music industry and the rest is 90's Alt-Rock history...to be told later... 😁

Funny how SLADE tried to conquer the Amercan market in the 70's with songs like 'C'mon Feel The Noize' but no record company was interested. They where huge in Europe and the UK at that time.

They were forced to do cover songs because they couldn't write hooks good enough to get radio play. Slade, on the other hand, could write hooks in their sleep.

Man said mental health…

I saw classic QR as Kevin and Frankie in one camp and Rudy and Carlos in another. I went to a show in the 90's long after the QR heyday. Kevin was interesting as a front man. He had little stage patter. Being so experienced I was surprised he was not more skilled at talking the audience up. He said a few things between songs and plowed through the set. On the night I went to see the band Frankie did not seem to be in a good mood. Rudy and Carlos appeared very mellow and nice. The crowd was a little rough. It was a small club and that crowd was not folks you wanted to tangle with but overall the show was good and Quiet Riot gave their all. I did not stay around for the signing merch after the show but I thought the record they were plugging was vintage QR and quite good and the single "Vicious Circle" solid. RIP Kevin and Frankie.

Metal Health drove me mad for metal records. I still bang my head. PLAY LOUD

I have the 45 record keep rocking

Believe it or not, I actually have an old Crate GX20 amp that Carlos Cavazo jammed on back in his LA club days...

Van Halen didn't want to cover material either, but it was their key to success also.

I never knowed that Randy Rhodes started The Quiet Riots!🤯

I think this story is a bit overplayed.Sure,they didn't want to do a cover...but if they wanted the finished product to be terrible,it would have been.Somewhere in the recording process,the rest of the band warmed up to the idea obviously

I dig Rock trivia.

Think of how many incredible acts the know better than you types at the labels have shut out over the years. Screw the record companies. Long live the Internet.

I compared the Slade versions to Quiet Riot after this, Slade seems to have a more traditional rock sound , Quiet Riot seems to be more vocal based, there's obviously some cool stuff going on there, there's guitar too, but it seems mixed a lot lower than the vocals relative to Slade.

Man, Cum on Feel the Noize was ENORMOUS when I was in 8th grade. Just HUGE. In my suburban New Jersey Junior High School, anyway. Also on MTV and the NYC radio stations we got. It was played endlessly on rock stations and top 40 stations alike. The only other "metal" band I recall getting that kind of airplay was Def Leppard. I remember lots of guys (and the sluttier girls) wearing Quiet Riot Mental Health tee shirts. It was big in a way that songs or band can't really be any more. I don't remember them doing much after that, however.

"Metal Health (Bang Head)" was their only other single that came close. Their second album was meh. And the third album was heavy laden with synths. They went into that album knowing they were going to break up.

Could you do the rise and fall of Joe Meek? Amazing story of a pieneer of music with a tragic ending.

First heard Cum On Feel The Noize on a 45 in Kindergarten in 1983. Fast forward to 1995, decided to go thru dad's LP collection and found the Metal Health album and was hooked. Then in 2002 or 2003 I saw them live at It'z in FayetteHELL NC. Dubrow got some cute chick to come up on stage and show her tatas.

I was aware they'd covered Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize". Didn't know they did another song by this title.

QR covered Slade's "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" on their second album. The song was also covered by Irish hard rock band Mama's Boys that same year.

I just found out Slade wrote that original song TODAY. Wow

I really enjoyed Oasis' version of the track, too! I also thought er, "The Bro" was a perfectly catchy band name. ;

Did not know he was the brother of Terry Dubrow, the plastic surgeon from Botched.

I remember buying the Slade album in 1973. Slade never made it big in the states I guess they were a tad early.

"Run Runaway" (1984) was the highest charting of the few singles received in the US.

"Little women" are you fucking serious!😂

I’m surprised no one talks about how Maralyn Manson got the original lineup back together briefly.

Yeah he’s gotten into some real bad trouble. But he got the band together again.

It's METAL HEALTH! Literacy is essential!

When you're talented and well practiced as a group, you can't even screw up when you want to.

Oh trust me, they screwed it up alright, they totally bastardised two Classic Slade songs.

Metal Health, not mental health!!!
