About Quiet Riot
Quiet Riot formed in Los Angeles in 1973 around singer Kevin DuBrow and guitarist Randy Rhoads. Their first two albums were released only in Japan, and Rhoads left at the end of the decade to join Ozzy Osbourne. DuBrow rebuilt the band with guitarist Carlos Cavazo, bassist Rudy Sarzo and drummer Frankie Banali, the lineup behind their commercial breakthrough.
The follow-up, Condition Critical (1984), went back to the Slade songbook for 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now'. The band split and re-formed several times over the following decades. DuBrow died in 2007 and Banali, who kept the name going afterwards, died in 2020, and later versions of the group have kept playing the early-'80s catalogue.
