FOR A WHILE there, back in 1983/84, Quiet Riot were arguably the biggest band in the world. Not something many music critics like to acknowledge, but the fact is they spearheaded the wave of Los Angeles rock and metal acts which would change the face of music on both a national and international level. They were actually the frontrunners in a movement which would transform the American charts from new wave to Metal, and sway the rock pendulum away from British heavy metal to American hair metal yes, an insulting term maybe, but a convenient label to characterise all that was to follow. It s easy to sit back now and feel that they made it on the back of covering a riotous (sic) Slade track Cum On Feel The Noize - but with royalty cheques in hand Noddy Holder and Jim Lea were surely not complaining, and neither were the millions of people who bought the Metal Health album. And at the last count there were over six million of them! It s easy to forget too, that guitarist extraordinaire Randy Rhoads was once a member of the band before taking up a position in Ozzy Osbourne s Blizzard Of Oz, paving the way for Carlos Cavazo, Frankie Banali, Rudy Sarzo and outrageous front man Kevin DuBrow to pick up the pieces. Originally issued in 1983, Metal Health remains a classic slice of American metal.

In addition, those statistic hides the fact that Condition Critical is generally regarded as a much stronger work, one that has continued to grow exponentially amongst critics and fans alike. Their previous album had brought unwarranted attention amongst a number of detractors for their cover of the Slade track Cum On Feel The Noize , a massive hit single but one that, as so many were keen to point out, was not written by them. In addition, all was not well internally as the band felt (understandably) cramped recording Condition Critical in quick succession and with a producer that they were contractually obliged to use. In addition front man Kevin DuBrow was becoming a liability, constantly berating and chastising fellow musicians from the same LA scene accusing them of riding on Quiet Riot s coat tails. Issued in July 1984, the album contained yet another Slade cover, Mama Weer All Crazee Now but also harboured well written and executed self-penned material with the title track being a stand out composition truly defining the QR sound.
