Quiet Riot is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads, bassist Kelly Garni, and vocalist Kevin DuBrow. The band's most commercially successful lineup, featuring DuBrow, guitarist Carlos Cavazo, bassist Rudy Sarzo, and drummer Frankie Banali, achieved breakthrough success with their 1983 album "Metal Health," which became the first heavy metal album to top the Billboard album chart. Known for hits like "Cum On Feel the Noize" and "Metal Health (Bang Your Head)," Quiet Riot has endured numerous lineup changes and brief breakups, with DuBrow's death in 2007 marking a significant shift. Banali reformed the band in 2010, and despite his death in 2020, Quiet Riot continues to record and tour, with recent albums including "Quiet Riot 10" (2014), "Road Rage" (2017), and "Hollywood Cowboys" (2019). The band's enduring legacy is underscored by their ranking at No. 100 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock and their inclusion in lists of the greatest hair metal bands of all time.
