Metal Off The Charts!Dec 29, 2008 Quiet Riot was originally formed by the late great Randy Rhoads. The band that became famous with this album was the version that formed after his departure and untimely death. It is great that Quiot Riot became the first metal band to hit #1...it's just too bad it had to be with a cover of a Slade song. Listening to the remaining songs on this release proves they had the chops to do it. This must have been the right time for cover success I suppose. Didn't Joan Jett rise to fame int he same year for her cover of "I Love Rock And Roll?" As good as they were, Quiot Riot fell as quickly as they rose, but at least we have this little gem of an album as a great souvenier from a time when rock and roll was fun!
Other albums I bought that sound like this are: Sloopjohnd , Ozzy Osbourne - Blizzard of Ozz (Play-It-Like-It-Is) and Condition Critical
Quiet Riot's Finest HourJul 23, 2008 "Metal Health" is Quiet Riot's finest Hour.All the songs are great inculding the bonus tracks.This remastered edition of "Metal Health" is simply terrific.This album was very hard to top after such massive successs and becoming the frist metal album to go no.1."Metal Heath" is indeed a Metal classic.There will never be Quiet Riot without Kevin Dubrow-He will be greatly missed.
A classic from the 80's!!!Jan 19, 2008 This cd is an absolute classic! I grew up listening to Quiet Riot on record and this remasters version is fantastic. Highly reccomended!

One album wonderAug 20, 2007 Quiet Riot's Metal Health is a genre-defining album that any metalhead must own, if for nothing more than the title track. Metal Health will drive you mad, because you'll wonder why this uber-talented band could never make another release this good. I guess the stories about Kevin DuBrow are true, he must be impossible to work with. I love Carlos Cavazo on this CD, amazing guitar player and an under rated forgotten hero of the 80s shred era.
The only "great" Quiet Riot song not on Metal Health is "The Wild & The Young" from QRIII.
If you're a fan of 80s glam metal or heavy metal, check out Metal Health.
Standout tracks: Metal Health, Cum on Feel the Noise, Love's a Bitch, Battle Axe, Run For Cover

The rise and fall of Quiet Riot in a single albumSep 19, 2006 THE BAND: Kevin Dubrow (vocals... R.I.P.), Carlos Cavazo (guitars), Rudy Sarzo (bass, synthesizer), Frankie Banali (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (1983) Originally 10 songs clocking in at approximately 41 minutes, this remastered version gives you 2 bonus tracks and almost 52 minutes worth. The bonus tracks: "Danger Zone" (unreleased studio cut), and a live version of "Slick Black Cadillac". Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits/times, original artwork and additional black & white photos, a brief 3-page intro, and thank you's. Recorded at The Pasha Music House in Hollywood, CA. Originally released on Pasha's label, this digitally remastered version is on Sony/Portrait/Epic.
COMMENTS: Disco was officially out a few years prior. The early 80's introduced us to the next popular fad - New Wave. Hard rock was trying to make a come back. To many listeners, American metal was still a question mark at the start of the 1980's. The British/European invasion of heavy metal was in full force (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Scorpions, etc). In 1983 the biggest seller was Quiet Riot's "Metal Health" - bigger than Def Leppard's "Pyromania", Motley Crue's "Shout At The Devil", or Iron Maiden's "Piece Of Mind". 6+ million units sold and growing. As quickly as "Metal Health" rose (the first metal record ever to hit #1 on the Billboard album charts), the band fell from grace. DuBrow's antics were fairly well documented (#1 reason being difficult to get along with)... with other bands as well as his own. "Metal Health" was a solid album, and it's still a classic... but, it hasn't stood the test of time as well as any of the other albums mentioned above. For me, Quiet Riot was the definition of "pop" hair metal. "Metal Health" created the standard formula that all successful pop/hair metal bands seemed to follow... 1. Some aggressive hard rocking songs (""Breathless", "Run For Cover", "Love's A Bitch"); a couple of hits ("Metal Health", "Cum On Feel The Noise"), and a power ballad ("Thunderbird"). Quiet Riot's cover version of Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noise" hit #20 on the Billboard charts (#5 on the pop charts), as the title track hit #31. "Slick Black Cadillac" had minor success on the radio as well. Cavazo's "Battle Axe" is a short guitar solo - in the same vein as Eddie Van Halen's "Eruption". A brief history of the players is documented in the disc booklet - Quiet Riot being formed by guitar-god Randy Rhoads and singer DuBrow in the mid 1970's without much success; Rhoads and bassist Sarzo leaving QR to play with now solo Ozzy; Rhoads killed in a plane crash; Sarzo returns with Banali joining on drums and Cavazo on lead guitar. Some truly great songs here - my favorites are the title track, "Don't Want To Let You Go", and "Breathless". The ballad "Thunderbird" (though an ode to Rhoads) is musically weak. The bonus tracks - "Danger Zone" fits right in with the rest of the album (good stuff), but the live "Slick Black Cadillac" is absolutely horrible (sounds like an out-of-breath high school band doing a cover tune). The potential was there to continue (and more albums being released), but Quiet Riot never again achieved the success it had in '83. "Metal Health" is a classic in the "pop" arena of metal (4.5 stars).
