RIP Kevin and Randy. One of my favorite QR songs from the Randy Rhoads era. I saw a Randy Rhoads Remembered show out here in Vegas a few years back, and Randy's brother sang this.
people hate on quiet riot because they were spoiled with everything in music they wanted, i wasnt even alive in the 90s 80s or 70s and i still appreciiate music like this, i really hope they rerelease this to the canadas
To hear Randy’s brother and sister tell it. Randy changed and became more glam after an Alice cooper concert. Oddly enough, this song has a real Alice cooper feel to it. Hmmmm🤔
This was/is Always one of my Favorite QR Randy Rhoads Era Songs!!Actually Randy Had Written this song w/his brother Kelle Rhoads Before Kevin DuBrow & QR. I Prefer the Original recording of this released on their "Managers Own "Majic Wand" Lable in 1975" this is the QRI version.
When Quiet Riot were in their chrysalis stage and didn't have a Band name, Rick Parfitt from STATUS QUO suggested 'Quite Right' as a name for the Band. The Band members misheard it as 'Quiet Riot' and the rest is history. Just as well to, 'Quiet Riot' is a much better name.
Okay here is a true story. You Quiet Riot fans will not want to hear this. But it is true. I was there! In 1977 (the year I graduated high school) A band mate of mine called me up and asked me if I wanted to go to Glendale college to see a band called Van Halen. The tickets were $2. I wasn't doing anything that night so I said yes. Quiet Riot was the opening act. I had never heard of them before. I had also never heard of Van Halen before. It seemed to me like everyone there was there to see Van Halen. I only looked up this song because I remember Quiet Riot doing this song. However, while Quiet Riot was performing this song, everyone in the audience was yelling out "YEAH" "GO BACK TO THE COAST" Like they were telling the band to get the F__K out of there. To me, having never heard either one of these bands, I thought they both sounded great! And I honestly felt bad for Quiet Riot. They rocked!!! But that is the one and only time I saw them. It is also the one and only time I saw Van Halen. I do remember this, Quiet Riot's performance was flawless, while Van Halen's performance had some technical difficulties. Sound was cutting out during the performance. I think Eddie was having a problem with a guitar cord or with his amp. A year later I started hearing Van Halen songs on the radio. Anyway, it seemed that no one wanted to hear Quiet Riot that night. They were all there for Van Halen.
Main riff is A lick with major 3rd (4th fret) to F, C, G mostly open chords but I think the F is always played as a power chord. Not at my guitar or I'd work the chorus out but I will write it here
Japan is a specialised market. There are quite a few examples of other Bands that have been very popular in Japan, therefore Record Companies put their money and energy in to that region. I know of some Australian Bands that are treated like Gods when they arrive at the airport in Japan, yet their profile in Australia is fairly low. Another reason is that they could be testing the market before releasing to other major markets.
