Platinum Ganster Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Quiet Riot - Bang your Head

[@danwoodard4696]

1st Heavy Metal Album to ever hit #1

[@johnvetere]

Knocked out of the #1 spot by Bobby McFerrin s Don't worry be Happy 😠 unfortunately

[@steve-o8u]

The star of the show back then was the guitarist. Singer after that.

[@timlenard1646]

As a 80's teen i have to TOTALLY agree with that... definitely the lead guitarist and lead singer...

[@rebeccarockchik6704]

This was our anthem back when it came out!! Love it over 40 years later! ✌❤

[@PML78]

🔥🤘🏽🔥

[@kennethbartlett4302]

I was 1o years old and was watching Solid Gold and suddenly these guys were performing on the show. I was mesmerized and loved it. My introduction to Metal.

@@ChrisSmith-bz1gl Yep!!

[@johnnusz8278]

I needed to hear this song as I'm waiting for a meeting to start... SUCH a banger

[@hafadude69]

They were the pioneers for 80's rock bands being played on mainstream radio. This was huge when it came out.

[@SteveCoronado2]

I wasn’t a big fan of Kevin’s voice but I absolutely rocked out every time it came on!!🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯 Btw, you might’ve heard of a guy named Randy Rhodes who died in a plane accident while on tour with Ozzy Osborne. He was the original guitarist Quiet Riot before joining Ozzy

[@srt8rocketship241]

Randy Rhoades started this band when he was around 14. Never recorded with them. Some live performances with him and they're legendary. He went to work with Ozzy and really helped him out. Maybe even saved his life. R.I.P.r. Rhoades.

[@alxdukextars2620]

Randy grabo 2 albunes con Quiet Riot

[@mariohnyc]

This is one of the songs that got me into heavy metal when i was around 10-11.

[@theoddityshoppe]

They did...they smoked in hospitals, offices, workplaces, and schools...everywhere. People would say "Do you mind?" sometimes as they sparked up and did not care if you minded...

[@christineyacono977]

Yeah, I remember having my son and going back to my hospital room for a smoke!!

[@susanconstable2113]

I remember being 17 and having my appendix out and I smoked in the hospital! Those little gold aluminum ashtrays!

[@joeykopack]

By far in my crowd it was the guitar player that was the hero Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi, Randy Rhodes and on and on and on……..

[@maryannerazzano7692]

Same !

[@theoddityshoppe]

This is how I became a headbanger. :)

[@butchtoll9222]

Kevin DuBrow was his name. Original lead singer in the 80's. They've had two more lead singers since.

[@kamikazekumquat4760]

My uncle was a radio DJ so he had a special bond with this song. I CHOSE IT BECAUSE IT ROCKED HARD. Thank you.

[@cedarcreeper1859]

The bassist Rudy Sarzo played with Ozzy, then Quiet Riot, then Whitesnake, pretty good career!

[@Snipergoat1]

Randy Rhodes was a founding member of this band. By 1983 he had left to play for Ozzy Osbourne.

[@MaRoach7]

​@@Snipergoat1i was gonna say that. I believe Rudy Sarzo went to Whitesnake

[@cmiles97x38]

Oh the BASS and DRUMS in this are great! I never get tired of hearing this song, all these years later.

[@CharlieMonroe73]

he is saying Metal not Mental lol

[@timlloyd1454]

Glad i read comments i was about to say the same thing😂😂👍👍

[@VENOMS_WRAITH]

I came looking for this comment. Glad he figured it out.

[@barndude5562]

The singer was Kevin Dubrow (RIP). His brother is Dr Terry Dubrow from the tv show Botched!

[@HOODYBOMBSTUBE]

BANGER!

[@mrlatenightdrinker3962]

so good to hear you appreciate and know the words for a genre that isn't yours 70's 80's rock, hair band. and metal fan now learning to appreciate your music

[@Tijuanabill]

I remember exactly where I was when I heard this first. It was 3rd grade gym class, we had a substitute, and he let us play our music on a boombox he brought, while we played dodge ball. Another kid played this, and I immediately "bought" (stole) every metal album they had on Columbia House Records, and never gave them anything but that first penny you taped to the order form.

[@snezzevp]

Randy Rhoads was a founding original member of Quiet Riot. He left in 1979 before they found success. He left to join Ozzy. Kiss, The Eagles, and Rush were my first favorites in the late 70’s. Quiet Riot joined that group in the early 80’s. Along with Joe Walsh’s solo album. And then Motley Crue changed everything for me with Too Fast for Love!

[@deelawson4551]

One great thing about the 80s hair metal/rock songs is that they all had guitar solos..Loved it! Check out some more of Quiet Riot,Ratt,Cinderella,Dokken..so many greats!

[@BrimHawk]

I saw Cinderella open for Bon Jovi in '87. They were fantastic live.

[@deelawson4551]

@@BrimHawk Yes! I also saw that same tour! So happy I was able to see so many great groups in their prime!

[@brentb9255]

Saw Quiet Riot play here in Las Vegas last month. They still sound great.

[@JeffHansen-c5k]

My first concert quiet riot opening for loverboy it was the night before my 16th birthday castle farms amazing times

[@bdd1469]

The Castle was an awesome place to see a show. I saw Judas Preist and Cinderella there, and it was one of the best weekends of my life. And yes, we were in a brand new Trans Am.

[@karlweir3198]

I grew up in the 80's too and I remember guys especially wearing their tshirts back in the day but because my mom was a minister I had no idea who they were. I only knew Christian music, classical and Elvis because my dad was a big fan plus old country when mom wasn't around dad would play Merle haggard, Patsy Cline, ECT. Lol. But I know the song now as an adult father and grandfather 😂. Thanks for sharing man. Love your channel

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

Grateful to have seen them in 1984..only concert i had front row tickets to...have some great black and white photos and color ones that I treasure.

[@2AOnlyWay]

That Metal Health tour was my first concert ever!! Night Ranger opened for them.🤘🏻

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

@@2AOnlyWay I don't remember who opened for them but it wasn't them, they were touring with Scorpions however, Scorpions played a couple weeks after them, which I had 13th row tickets for Scorpions. I seen them in Anchorage, Alaska so different parts of the tour I think were with different bands.

[@jimbusby8298]

As a teenager banged the heck out of this album... first hard Rock album to go #1 !!!!!! Yes I was the one with the Black Trans-Am with the T-Tops 80s 🎵🎶

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

Kickstart my Heart- Motley Crue. Krizz, this is Tommy Lee’s band. Huge band and many hits! This one is about the guitarist having to be revived back to life cause he overdosed. Huge hit and true story:). Love to see you react to it!

[@gloriaricarte1622]

This takes me back to the great 80s this was my brothers favorite band ,RIP Michael .Thanks for this reaction ❤❤

***CUM ON FEEL THE NOISE***

[@ericprater1970]

Yes remember going to Junior high School you had to have a note from your parents and you could smoke in a big dog kennel with signs on it life long Metal Head 🤘🤘

[@pennysilvey8868]

METAL health. It’s a play on heavy metal music. Back when this song was popular, in the 80s when I was a teenager, that type of music was called heavy-metal. Now they’re calling heavy-metal a totally different thing. It’s still hard rock N roll, but it’s on another level. Something that I can’t get a hold of. I’m old-school. I like stuff like this, and some of the older bands that are still out and touring. This is the jam back in my day.

[@kennethbartlett4302]

52 yrs old here and grew up on this music. There is stuff out there that is good though. Try maybe Jinjer or Falling in Reverse just to see.

[@HOODYBOMBSTUBE]

I grew up around smokers, crazy how things change.

[@JeffPhillips-dn2fg]

We’re Not Gonna Take It- Twisted Sister. I suggest watching and reacting to the video cause it is a classic for us 80s kids. Plus, you’ll enjoy it! Twisted Sister wanted a road runner/wile e coyote looney toones theme with the video. Classic tune and classic video! Thanks Kris for this great QR reaction!

[@linkloudenback8359]

Quiet Riot was the first commercial successful metal band they were influenced by another band that was somewhat metal they were called Slade. Quiet Riot even covered one of Slade’s songs called “ Come Feel The Noise “. Your kind of wrong about just hearing the hook. The bases for metal is Rock and Roll and the bases for Rock and Roll is Rhythm and Blues music. This why a lot people enjoy hearing such artists as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, and BB King. With a lot of music it’s the music that we enjoy not just the lyrics. There’s nothing wrong with Rap or Hip Hop it’s just that their based on lyrics and usually sampling this is sometimes considered not as creative because with other types of music there’s people creating it from scratch. It’s not to say that there’s not that in Rap and Hip Hop but a lot of the stuff that gets popular is that of songs that have sampling and of course it’s songs that are already popular. There’s are pop songs that incorporate raps in them but they usually don’t do well over time and they usually cut out the rap section to make it a shorter song or what is termed more radio friendly. The radio stations like short songs so that they can play more songs not because they don’t like certain styles. Rock and Metal were the ones that kind of broke this mold and helped with getting other stuff out on the radio.

[@SteveCoronado2]

The bass player, Rudy Sarzo, was and still is in my opinion one of the best ever

[@kennethbartlett4302]

Fact

[@EDGAR-os9rw]

Their song "Slick Black Cadillac" is awesome and they drove a Cadillac Limousine onstage with the fog smoke going. great concert and thanks for the reaction.

[@ChrisSmith-bz1gl]

Such a great name for a great band.

[@justmejoy124]

Jakyl is another rock band near this era i think. KRIZZ think maybe you remember them too. Love this ol rock era

[@timlloyd1454]

These guys are the band that knocked Michael Jackson out of the first-place spot on the charts. They were also the first Metal/hard rock band to hit the no1 spot ever as well.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

We could smoke at malls and in the stores ! …… by the way, this is one of the tracks that saved rock as we know it today, on the radio. This was our Anthem in 1983 coming out of the disco era !!! ❤️🎸🤘🏼

[@visacard100]

I remember when this came out, it was the most popular song there was in years in our crew

[@SterlingStudios]

Was surprised you didn't comment on how crisp and clear this analog was. It blew away everything else in clairity at the time.

[@Marc_donkey]

I was in middle school when I first heard this , enjoyed it more in high school with " some of that good Colorado "😊

I saw them live when this song was poppin' at The US Festival in 1983

[@susanconstable2113]

Oh my! My first big concert as a young teen! Dang I’m old!

Hey Kriss, here in Nova Scotia, (Halifax-Dartmouth) in 1983 our 1st rock radio station started! (Q-104)!!😀🤣👌👍✌🤘

[@brianclassen5221]

Atypical drummer extraordinaire is Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick 1978. Surrender or Going to Raise Hell, or Dream Police are good starting points. he doe a closer with drumsticks about four times bigger than normal and kicks butt. He looks like a teacher from the '60s.👍✌

[@srt8rocketship241]

btw , the Guitars made Rock and Roll baby. With that said , all were needed to make it great. Many of the best guitarist s hailed from the 80's. Thanks to Randy and Eddie.

[@Tijuanabill]

The Kansas City rock station was KY102, the first full time rock station in America.

[@terrygrizz]

The lead singer, Kevin DuBrow, had his brother, Terry DuBrow, touring with him. Terry would eventually become a plastic surgeon and have his own tv show named Botched.

This is one of my favorites along with ma ma we're all crazy now and slick black Cadillac

I remember when this video came out on MTV, I thought it was crazy, but what a tune and a video!!🔥🔥 When the channel still played music!!! 😂😂😂 Great reaction Krizz!!❤❤

[@stevebrown9955]

we had fun back then all the music was great from Hip Hop to rock we had wild parties out in the bush tons of people and music and huge bon fire surprisingly very few fights and everyone went to hang out

It's a true classic I grew up on

[@emerje0]

Listening to you talk about smoking indoors you should listen to Motley Crue - Smokin in the Boys Room!

[@Lilith6416]

Krizz I absolutely love your music. I unfortunately suffer from Bipolar 1, Anxiety and Borderline Personality disorder and your music has made me feel less alone. Thank you. ❤

the bassist in red, Rudy Sarzo, was my heavy metal crush 😂❤

[@LoneStarCarper]

I’m fishing with one of the members of quite riot right now just showed this to him 😂🎉 well done

[@anitamiller4351]

The beat and the hook is what drew everyone in. Cruising was big for teens and not everyone had kicking sound systems. Ir didn’t really matter if you had a rad car as long as it had the best sound system you could get your hands on.

[@scottNNJ]

“Metal Health (Bang Your Head)” is the full, official title of the song.

[@glennb2227]

Besides the hook, the rest of it, especially the bass line, grooves

[@timlloyd1454]

If you liked quiet riot you should check out twisted sister we're not gonna take it and stay hungry😊😊👍👍

[@stevefilley9765]

Dude, we're still out there Jamin these songs. But driving Buicks now 😊😊😊 and a little more Grey too.

[@JeanineLint]

Hospitals didn't have the equipment they have now that could catch fire or explode from a cigarette, so yes, before 1980, you could smoke in a hospital. Could be earlier as I don't remember exactly when it changed. But I do know you could still smoke almost anywhere until the 1990's. I smoked everywhere until 1998 when it was pretty much banned in all buildings, park, and beaches.

[@RowdyGrunt]

I'm a Metalhead so old that I tape traded no life till leather Metallica tapes. That said, rock and metal bands are all about every member being over the damn top. But when they get the frequencies all together to make a banger like this song you get Pure awesomesauce

[@teddarr7887]

Randy Rhoads (guitar virtuoso) left Quiet Riot to join Ozzy's band when Ozzy left Black Sabbath. This version of Quiet Riot is just a couple years after Randy left.

Randy Rhoades came from Quiet Riot. Kevin Dubrow was the lead singer of Quiet Riot.

a real metal masterpiece noob, tnks from brazil

[@notta3d]

Wow! When I think of Quiet Riot I think of Cum on feel the Noize. I forgot how good this song was!! Love it.

[@karenmandeville7116]

that's Randy Rhodes on guitar

[@kennethbartlett4302]

Randy was in the band but never recorded with them. The guitar player here is Carlos Cavazo it can be a bit confusing because he does the polka dot guitar and all that too. Actually the song Thunderbird is a tribute to Randy after his death

[@fahqfassebookman5157]

their name is a play on a british guy saying "quite right". the singer is the late great kevin dubrow. he was besties with randy rhodes in a 70's version of this band before randy went with ozzy and changed music forever, then died in a plane crash. kevin restarted this band with a new lineup, the great rudy sarzo on bass, the powerful franki banali on drums and my dude carlos cavazo on guitar, seriously underrated melodic rock player. next time you listen to the song, just listen to a good mix of the full version, not the video edit, and you'll enjoy more than the hook. the beat is nice, the main solo and the out solo are great and the bass breakdown is legendary. that's edited out of the video.

[@Scooter30FTW]

The KC radio station you were probably thinking of was KY102,which is gone now. 🙁
