Quiet Riot is an american heavy metal band, whose 1983 & 1984 success paved the way for the glam metal scene's commercial success in the mid 80's. They are known for their cover of Slade's hit "Cum on Feel the Noize." They were founded in 1975 by guitarist Randy Rhoads with the original lineup featuring Kevin DuBrow (vocals), Kelly Garni (bass) and Drew Forsyth (drums). After failing to break out of the Los Angeles metal scene with a record contract (unlike their contemporaries Van Halen), the band eventually scored a deal with Columbia Records second single "Cum on Feel the Noize" (a remake of one of Slade's big U.K. hit from 1973) was released; it spent two weeks at #5 on the chart. It was the first heavy metal song to make the Top 5 on Billboard Magazine's "Hot 100 singles chart" The band was relunctant to record the song. As none of them were Slade fans, and recorded it in one take, trying to play their worst. The success of the single helped carry "Metal Health" to the top of Billboard Music Charts pop album charts, making it the first heavy metal album to ever reach #1. A #1 album and a top 5 single was unheard of for a heavy metal band in 1983. The "Metal Health" album also displaced Michael Jackson's "Thriller" al
