Quiet Riot was an American Heavy metal band, whose 1983 & 1984 success
contributed to launching the 1980s glam metal scene. They are best known for
their hit singles "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Metal Health". They were
founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni, and the
original line-up featured lead vocalist Kevin DuBrow, Rhoads, Garni, and
drummer Drew Forsyth.
Some have guessed that the name 'Quiet Riot' comes from a phrase in John
Barth's 1960s novel Giles Goat-Boy and/or to be a pun on the title of "White
Riot" by The Clash. However, in a radio interview given by the band in 1979
and available here, DuBrow said the band's name was born of a conversation
with Rick Parfitt of British band Status Quo in which Parfitt said he'd like
to name a band "Quite Right".[1] They are ranked at number 100 on VH1's "100
Greatest Artists of Hard Rock." Quiet Riot also has a notable iconic heavy
metal mascot[2][3]. Their mascot resembles a man (modeled by the artist
himself, Grammy Award winning illustrator Stan Watts of Cedar Park, Texas) in
a metal facial mask and in a straightjacket (somewhat similar to Hannibal
Lecter) which has appeared on almost every single Quiet Riot album. This
mascot has been considered alongside Megadeth's Vic Rattlehead, Iron Maiden's
Eddie the Head, Motörhead's Snaggletooth B. Motörhead, A.K.A Warpig as
enduring familiar heavy metal symbols.
Kevin DuBrow, lead singer of the band from its inception, was found dead in
his Las Vegas, Nevada home at approximately 5:20 p.m. on Sunday, November 25,
2007. The cause of death was ruled an accidental cocaine overdose.[4]
