1983 WOW.NO I MEAN WOW!!!!! I bought the Metal health cassette tape in 1983 . I was a freshman in high school at West Mesa high. It was where Randy Castillo (drummer for Lita Ford and Ozzy Osborne )went to high school. He played drums for our high school band. So our school was really into the Metal scene at the time because we had one of our own involved in the scene. We fucken loved anything Metal. Quiet Riot just cemented everything that we already believed in. That Heavy Metal was going to dominate the 80s We were already listening to bands like Metallica, Merciful Fate,and Venom. People thought we were devil worshipers and nuts. But we just loved the same shit. Neck breaking fucken head banging Thrash Metal. Don't get me wrong we still listen to Quiet Riot, Ozzy, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. We were just evolving sooner than a lot of the other cities because we had one of our own playing with Ozzy and the music metal scene was everywhere Albuquerque New Mexico was the thrashing f****** place. Metallica played at one of our night clubs in 1983 armored Saint open for them and I'm telling you that f****** show was amazing Cliff Burton was still alive and he did his bass solo the 80s were just awesome for us the heavy metal music was everywhere. Then f****** Kurt Cobain came and f***** it all up f****** sissy m***********. We had our time when Slayer was dominating arsene and our own Randy Castillo was making it big time with Ozzy Osbourne. Quiet Riot will always be a part of my ATS experience they brought metal into your living room and showed every mother your worst nightmare. But that was the fun of it people were scared of us they were scared they're afraid of the music. Now that Frankie banali is gone Quiet Riot is never going to be the same metal has lost one of its forefathers. Quiet Riot will always be the band but it will never be the band that I grew up with rest in peace you guys Frankie Kevin Randy Rhodes I mean. I'm not going to forget Cliff Burton you guys made my 80s and I love you guys for that. Merk Rael MERKRAEL1969@GMAIL.COM Albuquerque New Mexico P.S. The birthplace of the best drummer in metal Randy Castillo and yes I said that not Neil Peart not John Bonham not Frankie banali though they were all great Randy Castillo was the best metal drummer!
Wow this guy sounds crazy like Kevin but I think Quiet Riot is one of those bands that need a sound alike as opposed to a completely new guy, Kevin's voice was just to raspy and different to go a new direction after he died
Reconozco que son buenos y que el cantante imitan bastante bien la voz de DuBrow como en sus mejores tiempos, pero hay algo que no cuadra y aunque la canción no era ni de los originales Quiet Riot, fueron ellos quienes la convirtieron en un icono. Es como si la canción fuera destinada a ellos y a DuBrow, la comparación seria como si el mejor imitador de los cuadros de Van Gog, mostrará sus cuadros más iconicos... Jamás serían lo mismo. O The Beatles cantando, A day in the life sin Lennon.

No one on stage is original. Frankie Banali joined in 1980, 5 years after QR formed, he's the drummer. He's been in the band the longest. Chuck Wright on bass here was in the band 1982 and quit before "Metal Health" came out, then rejoined in '85 to '87, and a few times after and has been in for a while now. They have had 4-5 different guitarist and 4 different singers since Kevin died. This singer here sucked, he was only in the band for a year. I just saw them last night with Jizzy Pearl on vocals. It's the best lineup of the band since the Randy era and Carlos-Rudy Metal Health era.
Tate Thompson thats not true about chuck he is actually on the recordings of mental health.. watch the documentary or grab your lp and flip it and over on the right read..and the priiginal members were Randy Rhoads and the drummer (not Frankie) so technically after Randy and rummer left there were NO original members but the lasting line up of that the drummer is original..
+Vincent Barango +Tate Thompson Quiet Riot is a freaking revolving door...I don't recall a band that has so many members that, leave, return, get fired, go, and come back again. The only way out permanently is by death.
He's better then Jizzy they should have kept him over getting Jizzy in the band though I would really like to see Paul Shortino come back and Mark Huff was good too. Jizzy is one of the worse choices for singer in Quiet Riot bad move on Frankie's part
Gotta agree with that Jizz bag sucks. Mark Huff was even better, but kept forgetting lyrics. Probably some good coaching instead of berating by Douche bag Banali.
This isn't flippin' Quiet Riot. Frankie Benali (drummer) is the ONLY original member here. This is so lame. The singer is good, very close, but it's not Quiet Riot. Frankie, you have gone so low to do this: Very lame of you!!!!
What's lame about it. Frankie is an original band member. Dubrow is dead. Carlos is playing with Ratt. What's he supposed to do...teach drum lessons? What's lame is fucking nobodies calling him out.
Hired Goonage the bass player played on this song on the record.. so they were both there for the lp that broke through.. and for those that read this and say no it was carlos watch the documentary..
