Quiet Riot

Quiet Riot's new album, '10,' is their first since the 2007 death of frontman Kevin DuBrow.

Although pegged as a one-album wonder, Quiet Riot were incredibly influential in the rise of metal in the '80s.

Every time I heard on the band's songs after that, it hit me in a completely new way.

When denied a chance to play football with some neighborhood kids, the scrawny, young lad in the Hyundai commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday hops into his mom's Santa Fe, and cranks the volume of a great classic rock song. Quiet Riot's 'Bang Your Head (Metal Health)' from 1983 is the soundtrack to this 30-second spot.

Kevin Dubrow, frontman for Quiet Riot, would have been 57 years old this coming Oct. 29. Dubrow joined the band in 1975 and led them for the next five years until their brief disbanding in 1980 due to the group's guitarist -- Randy Rhoads -- moving on to join Ozzy Osbourne's band...

Bassist Rudy Sarzo’s career, from a gig perspective, has been the stuff that dreams are made of for hopeful musician wannabes. While Sarzo was only in Ozzy Osbourne’s band for less than two years, he was there during a moment of critical rebirth, when the former Black Sabbath frontman was in the process of proving himself as a solo artist.

Quiet Riot, Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and Kiss are just a few of the classic rock artists whose albums will be represented in Backstage Auctions' ‘Rock Gods and Metal Monsters’ event being held April 21-29.

Quiet Riot have stabilized their lead singer situation, announcing this week that Scott Vokoun would take the microphone when the band resumes touring on March 28 in Scottsdale, Ariz. The little-known Vokoun replaces Keith St. John (Montrose), who was filling in after the firing of Mark Huff.

Metalheads and music fans alike will celebrate the news that Shout! Factory has acquired rights to release audio and video recordings from the legendary US Festival. Among the initial offerings will be the release of Quiet Riot's performance, captured at 'Heavy Metal Day' on May 29, 1983.

80's rockers Quiet Riot have fired their most recent lead singer, Mark Huff, and hired Keith St. John (ex-Montrose) according to a statement issued by the band. This has led to a Facebook faceoff of sorts.
