QUIET RIOT, a rock band from Los Angeles, made music history in 1983 with their album "Metal Health," which became the first heavy metal record to top the Billboard pop chart. Formed in 1980 by Kevin DuBrow, the band underwent lineup changes before solidifying with members Frankie Banali, Carlos Cavazo, and Rudy Sarzo. The album's success was fueled by hits like "Metal Health" and a cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize," propelling it to platinum status five times over.
Frankie Banali, who joined QUIET RIOT in 1982, has been a consistent presence in the band, contributing to every release from "Metal Health" to "Rehab" in 2006. Following the passing of Kevin DuBrow, Banali, along with Chuck Wright and Alex Grossi, continues to carry on QUIET RIOT's musical legacy. Their latest album, "Hollywood Cowboys," features vocalist James Durbin and showcases the band's enduring commitment to their rock n roll roots.
