Artist : Quiet Riot Country : USA Release : Quiet Riot II Year : 1979 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Veteran hard rock band Quiet Riot has two claims to fame. One is their
massively popular '83 album Metal Health, featuring the title track and
the even more popular "Cum On Feel The Noize" (a cover of the British
rock group Slade). The second claim to fame is that this is where
acclaimed guitarist Randy Rhoads got his start, before making it big as
Ozzy Osbourne's first lead guitarist and then tragically being killed in
an accident a few years later. Often it is mistakenly written that
Quiet Riot were the first metal band to go to #1 with their first album,
but in fact Metal Health was their third, as the band released two
albums in Japan with Rhoads in the late 70's -- his departure
necesitated somewhat of a style change and Metal Health was the result.
They were never able to duplicate that album's success, though they
remained a popular live act for some time. For many years they were an
on-again, off-again item, under various lineups, until 1999, at which
time the classic Metal Health lineup came back together. That version
survived until September 2003, when they announced their (presumably)
final breakup. However, the duo of Kevin DuBrow and Frankie Banali
decided to work together once again, and with a couple of hired guns in
tow, recorded Rehab in 2006, reportedly a departure from the classic QR
style, towards a more 70's rock sound. Sadly, that reformation came to
an end in late 2007, with the unfortunate passing of DuBrow.
Artist : Quiet Riot Country : USA Release : Quiet Riot [Remastered] Year : 1988 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Despite the fact that they had one of the best-selling metal albums of
the '80s (1983's massive hit Metal Health), it is probably true to say
that Quiet Riot had much more success than they ever truly deserved.
Metal Health's sales mostly derived from the band's cover of Slade's
"Cum on Feel the Noise," success arguably more credited to good timing
than to musical quality. Still, despite two unsuccessful follow-ups to
Metal Health, Quiet Riot had yet to hit rock bottom, which would finally
arrive in 1988. After years of tension, the group fired their vocalist,
Kevin Dubrow, and replaced him with Paul Shortino for QR, the band's
fourth U.S. release. Shortino sounds competent, but overall he lacks the
general charisma of Dubrow. The real problem with the album, however,
is the songs themselves, which are loaded with unmemorable lyrics and
melodies. By now, it was obvious that the bandmembers were not skilled
songwriters, but usually they managed to place a few guilty pleasures on
their past releases, which is certainly not the case here.
Unfortunately, the performances on QR make the album horribly faceless;
the record shows a once-popular rock group trying to retain their glory
days with a handful of disgustingly generic material. Not too
surprisingly, the album was a complete critical and commercial bomb, and
with just cause; this is by far Quiet Riot's weakest record of the
'80s.

Info:
I always keep saying that I dislike demos bootlegs and live albums.
Not so much about the track selectin and stuff...about the sound
quality. I had these demos lying around for many years...Were requested
so I tried to check if there is a beeter quality rip out there having no
luck. So I thought to share them in case anyone else wants
them...Clearly, not one of my favorites as half tracks sound bad while
the rest sound just OK...but what the heck...you'll be the judge of
that..!!

Info:
Consist of 10 songs, 2 of them (track 9 & 10 listed below) may be
the ones that were on the Greatest Hits CD released in 1996. Slick Black
Cadillac may be from the reissue/ remaster of 'Metal Health' that was
released a few years back and the rest are unreleased live songs that
were never officially released. I read years back (during the 80's)that
Quiet Riot were going to release a live album. It never happened.
Here is the track listing:
Live from Pasadena Ca. 1983
1. Danger Zone
2. Run For Cover
3. Love's A Bitch
4. Anytime You Want Me
5. Cum On Feel The Noize
6. Slick Black Cadillac (possible from Metal Health reissue/remaster release)
7. Gonna Have A Riot
8. Breathless
Live from Nashville Tennessee 1983
9. Let's Get Crazy (believe this live recording was on Greatest Hits)
10. Bang Your Head (Metal Health) (also believe this was on their Greatest Hits CD)
Anyways, I like it, and I believe anyone that is or was into Quiet Riot and likes live recordings won't be disappointed.
