A day for me to discuss music
Lyrics:
Well I’m an axegrinder piledriverMother says that I never never mind herGot no brains I’m insaneTeacher says that I’m one big painI’m like a laser 6-streamin’ razorI got a mouth like an alligatorI want it louderMore powerI’m gonna rock ya till it strikes the hour
Bang your head! metal health’ll drive you madBand your head! metal health’ll drive you…
On March 11 1983, Quiet Riot released their breakthrough album, METAL HEALTH. Less than three years after Randy Rhoads left the band to join Ozzy, the new incarnation of Quiet Riot (featuring Kevin DuBrow, Rudy Sarzo, Carlos Cavazo, and Frankie Banali) became a rock & roll phenomenon. At the insistence of their producer, the band begrudgingly agreed to record a cover of Slade’s “Cum On Feel The Noize,” which unbeknownst to them, would be the smartest decision they ever made. Within a matter of weeks, the album rocketed up the charts and eventually became the first heavy metal album to ever hit #1 (knocking the Police’s Synchronicity out of position). Despite the rampant criticism of Quiet Riot’s subsequent commercial failures, Metal Health enshrined itself in the annals of rock history by finally giving the 80’s metal scene the widespread recognition it deserved.
