Quiet Riot initially had some reservations about covering "Cum On Feel The Noize." They weren't glam rock and they didn't even like Slade. They recorded it one take and forgot about it. Little did they know that single would make 1983's Metal Health the first American heavy metal debut album to ever reach number one in the States, at a time when heavy metal was looked at as being obnoxious and decadent. Which - well, let's face it - Quiet Riot was. Started in 1973 with Randy Rhodes on guitar and Kevin DuBrow on vocals, the band shuffled members, broke up, reformed and continually put out records throughout the '90s and 2000s. DuBrow unfortunately passed away in 2007 from a cocaine overdose. The band is touring again with Frankie Banali on drums, Chuck Wright on bass (both first joined QR in 1982) Alex Grossi on guitar and new vocalist Mark Huff. - Beau Dowling sanjose.com
