Quiet Riot released Metal Health on March 11th, 1983 and has the distinction of being the first “metal” album to reach number one on the Billboard charts, and to date has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
States Metal Health founding member Rudy Sarzo: “We are honored to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Quiet Riot’s landmark record Metal Health on tour with all the Head Bangers around the world.”
In addition to Sarzo, Quiet Riot’s current line-up includes longtime guitarist Alex Grossi, vocalist Jizzy Pearl and drummer Johnny Kelly.
In December 2022, Quiet Riot reissued their 2006 album Rehab: Relapsed & Remastered, which included a previously unreleased track titled “I Can’t Hold On”. The song (originally written and demoed by Kevin Dubrow and Alex Grossi in 2003) features a posthumous reunion of Dubrow, Frankie Banali and Rudy Sarzo and is accompanied by an emotional video tribute directed by Frankie’s widow Regina Banali.
