Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head (Metal Health)

[@tommywankenobi]

I graduated the the year this song was released - 1983. My final day of school, I came home, tuned into MTV and when this song came up I grabbed one of Dad’s beers from the fridge and cranked the volume so loud the glass in the windows was buzzing! Danced around the house like a damned fool because I was so glad to put high school behind me and didn’t even want to think about college. Man, to be that young and that happy about something so simple…..

The song and band that started it all for me. Quiet Riot is the band that got me into Hard Rock/Heavy Metal music. I was barely 5 years old back in 1983 when I first listened to this song and loved it big time!!! Over 35 years later I am still a huge Hard Rock/Heavy Metal fan, and Quiet Riot's Metal Health album is still as PHENOMENAL today as it was back in 1983. I even love their follow up album Condition Critical big time, and I still listen to that album often as well. We knew that it was coming because Frankie announced last year that he had stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but it was still incredibly sad finding out earlier today that he passed away. This weekend I will be listening to all my Quiet Riot studio and live albums . I know that their song Thunderbird was dedicated to Randy Rhoads, but this weekend I am dedicating it to Frankie Banali. He was an incredible powerful drummer, and he kept Quiet Riot alive these past ten years. Frankie can now get all the rest that he deserves, and the suffering of all the chemotherapy is over. My heart goes out to his family and friends. May Frankie Banali REST IN PEACE.

The drums on Condition Critical were amazing, one of the reasons I attempted to learn how to play.

[@johns3348]

I was touring as a rock drummer in the 80s when "Bang Your Head" came out, and WE HAD TO PLAY IT! It quickly became my favorite rock anthem and I always looked forward to bashing this one out with the boys every night. The dance floor instantly packed out as soon as I rolled down the intro, and EVERYONE was banging their heads! I'm afraid that we must have contributed to a national brain-damage epidemic during those days. RIP Frankie. Helluva drummer!

[@KrystalLake]

When I was about ten years old, I discovered my dad's record collection. I would play them any time I was alone in the house. One day, he handed me the Quiet Riot album and told me to play it as loud as I wanted before my mom came home. Somehow the input got changed on our stereo - and even though I turned the volume up, nothing came out. The speakers on this old 80's Fisher stereo were about four feet high, and a volume level of "3" was considered loud. I had turned it up to *10.* I pressed all the buttons I recognized, until I finally got to the inputs and changed it to "LP." Boom! Boom boom! The house shook - the thick glass paned windows rocked inside their wooden sills back and forth. Never have I felt such a sound again or gotten such an adrenaline rush. I turned it down to a reasonable - but very loud - level 4. Even at that level, that guitar riff made the house vibrate with each note. I was so afraid I broke something or would have the cops called on me, I stopped after one round of 'Bang Your Head.' When I told my dad about it, wanting to pre-empt any neighbor ratting on me.. he said "Wow... Cool! You _rocked_ the house! I always wanted to test the balls on that stereo. Good to know!" :-) Ahh... good times. I can still remember the feel of the house shaking when hearing that riff now...

[@Tzunamii777]

Sounds like a song waiting to happen \m/

[@atticuslee7510]

That's the most beautiful story I've ever read man. I remember the day my dad finally let me touch his record collection. It was a true turning point in my awesome taste of music.

[@KrystalLake]

ATTICUS LEE Wow.. Thank you very much! A kindred soul who knows the power of music. :-) "The Turntable Turning Point." It really is a rite of passage. I think my dad trusting me with his records was a sign that he felt I was adult enough to respect (and understand) them properly - and the first time I fully realized my dad was a cool guy and not just some towering authority figure. In that way, it made us equals. Also, it helps if your dad is recommending you heavy rock like Lou Reed, King Crimson, The Doors, and other stuff that "normal" parents wouldn't play for their kids. I always saw kids in the movies having their dad knock on the door, telling them to 'Turn that sh*t down!" My dad would come up and tell me I should play it on the big downstairs stereo so I could "hear it the _right_ way." Which meant _feeling_ it. Ahh... Good memories. :) Thanks for putting them at the forefront of my mind again!

[@beckystarrski]

Great story, Krystal. Growing up in the 80's was awesome. Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister and on and on and on, it's just not the same these days.

Everyday some poor girl would get on the school bus with a curling iron burn on her forehead or neck and smelling of aquanet. We exchanged cassette tapes and records, vhs tapes if someone had them. We would walk to the gas station and buy a new coke, pack of Marlboro and a candy bar and talk about the chick from whitesnake videos or lita ford( before them it was Pat Benatar). Then hang out at the skating rink later that evening. Now I am 44 and overweight missing my teenage years.

Kevin DuBrow imo, was one the most powerful metal voices in the early 80's. And I really liked his gritty style, especially the line: - ''I'm a finder and I'm a keeper I'm not a loser and I ain't no weeper'' - Fucking, awesome.

[@mackaready1]

I had Micheal Jackson poster on my wall. A buddy lent my his metal health tape for the weekend. I had mom drive me to the store, bought my own copy, and a Quit Riot poster to replace my Micheal Jackson poster. Then I got into Van Halen, Ratt, Motley Crue KISS. It totally changed the kind of music I listened too.

I must be one year ahead of you because I was 15 and I heard this song it was crazy. So come Christmas time I got the same guitar as the guitar player for Quiet Riot

The Man in The Scrap Metal Mask is pure genius. Normally you feel empathy or sympathy with someone bound in a padded cell. With this guy you think "He looks dangerous. Good thing he's in there." Transformative characters can always appear dangerous. Sometimes they are. Sometimes they're not. And once in a while... they're beneficial.
