HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES!!!! SAW THESE GUYS ON NOV 30. 1983 FOR $ 10.50. WHAT A HELL OF A SHOW IT WAS . JUST LIKE THE DECADE , IT WAS ALL GREAT FOR TEENS. MAN , I NEED TO FIND THAT TIME MACHINE QUICK!!!!!!!!!!.
AHH YES, THE DAYS OF VINYL AND THE CASSETTE TAPE!!. IT WAS ALL GREAT TIMES FOR US FORTUNATE GENERATION XER'S. MTV WAS GREAT THEN, NOT THE SHIT THEY BEEN PUTTING FOR THE LAST QUARTER CENTURY!!!! KEEP THAT SUPER 70'S AND AWESOME 80'S FLAME BURNING AND ROCK ON M B!!!!!!!!!!!!.
I am 17 years old. I have collected most of thier albums. I also blare thier songs on the way to school in my car. Damn, why was I not alive in 1983? I wish I was.

@@gordocarbo That's awesome dude! The 80s never ended for me either. Quiet Riot, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Dio, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, got 'em all in my playlist. Listen to them everyday and I'm 55.
@@josebro352 Right on! This music never gets old for me either. When I was younger Id get dirty looks from older people for blasting it in my 69 Camaro...other day I was in the grocery store parking lot blasing it....passed by a few "old peeps" who gave the thumbs up. Sunk in Im an old peep too. lol
I was 13 and we didn't have the money for something that cool. I did have radio headphones that played am only. Fortunately for me Metal Health came through that day in the garage loud and clear and happily suffered some hearing loss while jamming out. 😂🤘
I played this song for my neighbors. They liked it so much they threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better. Awww.. memories....Class of 1984.
***** crappy commercial artist still sell millions of records today but it doesn't mean they don't suck. I just personally hate bon jovis music and always have. there are way better glam rock bands.
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...
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.
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!
OH..the good ole days of my older bro getting pissed when I went into his rm & listened to all his records ..while he was not home!! Random.memories~. Long live the Fing 80's!!
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. Kudos to your Dad for not just letting you listen to that album at will but for him being kool about "rocking the house." It's nice knowing that this generation appreciates the music of mine.
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.
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!
my mom hated this song. i played that cassette so much that is was nearly chewed up and barely recognized. one day after church, i was jamming in my room, she burst in and started ripping it apart... never forget the look on her face as she was pulling the tape out, literally driven mad. LOL!! my uncle got me another cassette for Christmas, much to her dismay. hahaha! to this day, i tag her in a FB posts occasionally just to remind her. > :)
Cool story! My Mom hated it too back when it first came out, but actually grew to like it years later. This is from a lady that likes The Bee Gees and Barry Mannilo. RIP Mom.
56yrs old and still rock n' it. Old School Rock as its now labeled still has the most loyal fan base. We're classics and just like cars, " They sure don't make them like they used too!"
You guys are so lucky! I missed all of this being born in 97 man I wish I could have lived these days, good cars, good people, and most of all GOOD MUSIC!!!
I was born in 99 and grew up on this stuff because of my dad and Uncle's man. I wish I was growing up then like they were. It would have been kick ass!
Don't forget the women back then. To me, there was nothing better than a chick in torn jeans, leather jackets & those half t-shirts. We were the rebel generation.
As a former mental patient, metalhead, multi-instrumentalist, and singer, Quiet Riot is one of my favorite bands now. Condition Critical is my favorite album. Music, (esp. metal), is one of the many things that got me through my psychosis! 😍 🐲🤘💯🔥
I like the part after alright to that part. Those are lyrics the snowflake gens would never write, too aggressive and in your face. Hope it annoys you... FTW
I'm 52 now and haven't listened to this type of music in 25 years but, it all comes rushing back to me like I was in my teens again. LOVE IT.... They just don't make music like this anymore. This was the REAL shit!!!
🎶 "Well, I'mmm.. frustrated, outdated,, ..I really want to be overrated. 😆 I'm a finder, and I'm a keeper. I'm not a *loser* , and I ain't no *weeper* !" 🎵 1:40 🤘🤣👍
Back when MTV actually played music and good music at that. I was not even 9 or so when I first got my too fast for love cassette and wore it out claiming they would be the next KlSS. Long live the 80's
I tried last month. I'm in a wedding band now and the bride wanted "Crazy Train" but my hair is gone and my neck is useless. Guess it's back to John Mayer.
I swear to god that the phrase "head banging music" became a thing after this song was released and has been ever since. I'm not saying it didn't exist before, but it became very popular ever since and I believe this song made it stick.
@@nowitsabadtime yeah not until that ultra bomb song "Hair Band" was unleashed on the world and went straight to #1 .. the world has never been the same since
heaven just got LOUDER!!! i can see frankie doing a drum-off against john bonham, neil peart, keith moon, and buddy rich. it would be sick. he's that fucking good. r.i.p. frankie. you are a good dude and we will miss you.
There was an energy, an anger, a righteous indignation, a spirit of rebellion in the '80s that was deserved and welcomed that Quiet Riot delivered and delivered well. The '80s was a great time for metal music. Now, in 2018, the music is soft and limp --a music flaccid and void without the aid of Viagra. We must be thankful for the metal bands of the '80s that spoke of the frustration, anger and outrage that we in the '10s feel more than ever before.
A breath of fresh air after hearing some disco songs I personally cannot stand. Kevin Dubrow finally removes that dreaded straight jacket around 1:17 . Rest in peace, Kevin, Frankie and Randy!
Fucking awesome memories right here! Born in '73, and proud to be a 80s Metal kid. All the best bands from the 80s - Quiet Riot, WASP, Mötley Crue, Guns n' Roses, Van Halen, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, etc. Love to all my fellow brothers and sisters from the 80s, keep on rocking!!!
This song changed my life! I grew up on Top 40 radio & as a 14 year old heard this song & it woke something up in me that i never knew I had. & damn did my partents hate hearing that song over & over & over... Bam, I got a bass on my Bday! Love it!
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
One of the most epic songs of the early 80s. Quiet Riot - a milestone in the history of music, and most importantly - the popularization of hard rock and heavy metal
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.
Saw them at the Us Festival in ‘83 ( heavy metal day) then Crüe, ozzy, priest, triumph, scorpions and Van Halen - what a day and for only $20 for the whole day !! Can’t beat that !! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
RIP to the Great Frankie Banali! It was an honor to have met you brother an to have watched you Kick Ass on the Drums for Decades as you will be Forever Missed!
I was 16 when this song came out. I can remember working at Wendy’s on the closing crew. Once the store was closed, one of the guys would crank quiet riot on his boom box while floors were being mopped and grills were scrubbed! Good times...
2024......... This shit bangs.............. It's legendary
Born in 1953, and this style of music is all I listen to. My 4 children think I am crazy. HELL YES!
I was born in 1966 and I still listen to this music. Today's music doesn't rock like the classics do.

We're all crazy now
You're not crazy, you just grew up in an awesome era!!

Never shall we forget the unmistakable drum intro... RIP Frankie

I suggest some Black Sabbath should be introduced to her diet.... I believe the early stuff is what most 8/10 pediatricians recommend.
Good Stuff
always important to educate our children in the arts
As a daughter that was introduced to this song by my father, you are doing great 👍
If she’s in public school you failed chief
I'm African American I play this in the 80's ...MTV was the shit back then....
Check out a band called Living Color,i'm sure you know them! Pretty cool they were even really good!

I am 53 and still a metalhead!
I'm 56 and will be a metalhead until my last breath. Then I'll come back and start shit! WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t Forget Early Leppard!!!

I like the part after alright to that part. Those are lyrics the snowflake gens would never write, too aggressive and in your face. Hope it annoys you... FTW
@@GlassTopRX7 Very quirky bro
But it's "I've got the voice to make the noise"
Metal shall never die 🤟
I'm a head banger from the 70's-80's still to this day!!!

Rock.Until.You.Drop.
I'm 52 now and haven't listened to this type of music in 25 years but, it all comes rushing back to me like I was in my teens again. LOVE IT.... They just don't make music like this anymore. This was the REAL shit!!!
Back roads music!
Not was IT IS THE real shit. 25 years? WTF
Same brother I'm 50 now and took me straight back to Florida jamming out with all my buddies
Who else was watching and listening to this on MTV in 1983!
I wish
I remember seeing them on Solid Gold lol
Rex Heckathorn Really?
That was bad ass!! Stay up all day and night for our rock videos!!
I remember this on MTV, great times the 80s!!
🎶 "Well, I'mmm.. frustrated, outdated,, ..I really want to be overrated. 😆 I'm a finder, and I'm a keeper. I'm not a *loser* , and I ain't no *weeper* !" 🎵 1:40 🤘🤣👍
Getting into the end of 2019. If youre still jamming this lets gets some thumbs up!!
.\,,/
hell yea i am
my favorite quiet riot song written by randy rhodes when was an original member
4:54am, Sunday morning December 15.
8 am on a Monday morning blasting in my car 🤘🏽
🤘🏻😉🤘🏻
Couldn't wait for this video every hour on MTV
Especially on the Headbangers Ball.
Back when MTV actually played music and good music at that. I was not even 9 or so when I first got my too fast for love cassette and wore it out claiming they would be the next KlSS. Long live the 80's
Who else is still banging their heads in 2019?
Oh yes from Durban SA bang your head boys.
Seeing them next Saturday in Cleveland!! Gonna bang my head!
Shut up...
I want it louder more power
I tried last month. I'm in a wedding band now and the bride wanted "Crazy Train" but my hair is gone and my neck is useless. Guess it's back to John Mayer.
Timeless. A classic. RIP, Kevin & Frankie. 💔💖✌️
I’ll never forget the day my dad showed me this song and music video
I swear to god that the phrase "head banging music" became a thing after this song was released and has been ever since. I'm not saying it didn't exist before, but it became very popular ever since and I believe this song made it stick.
You might be right. Same thing with 'Hair Band' you just never heard that turn-of-phrase until the '80s.
@@nowitsabadtime yeah not until that ultra bomb song "Hair Band" was unleashed on the world and went straight to #1 .. the world has never been the same since
I never get tired of this song.
Me neither
Thats who can honestly say. "Ill be back". 💥
R.I.P. Kevin Dubrow, Randy Rhoads, and Frankie Banali
I sure miss those days.
Damn....old memories! High school, for sure! This was a time when we saw actual MUSIC VIDEOS on MTV!! Great fucking days!
MTV & Beavis & Butthead \m/
MTV ALL NIGHT LONG! THOSE WERE THE DAYS
Hell.yea
I first heard and seen this video in 1984..my 7th grade year totally awesome
One of the greatest heavy metal songs ever
Definitely amongst the VERY, VERY BEST! 👍👍
I love ❤️ heavy metal.
Devastated to hear about the passing of Frankie Banali. At least he's with Kevin and Randy now!
Thank you my friend you beat me to it I was going to post yes it's very sad😔
I miss Frankie too😔
Rip legend
heaven just got LOUDER!!! i can see frankie doing a drum-off against john bonham, neil peart, keith moon, and buddy rich. it would be sick. he's that fucking good. r.i.p. frankie. you are a good dude and we will miss you.
Another hero gone....
I remember playing this cassette on my Walkman when it came out lol when I was about 12.
hell ya!!!!!
rollerboy me 2 lol
Same here....I had that cassette too!
rollerboy I was 13 in 7 th grade. Our generation was the last great one.
***** Not as great as the 80's, the 90's was still better than anything today.
Those vocals and the guitar soloing 🤯
R.I.P Kevin Dubrow!!
BaDKaRmA14 d
as soon as he died quiet riot died man he made quiet riot his voice is iconic just like freddy mercury
@@severianorubioiii6812 hey these dudes were ground breaking....This was the hardest heaviest song on the radio up until that point
Still rocks & and still kicks ass. This 57 yr old still loves it
Drive my neighbors insane when I was a kid. Metal blasting when I was a kid. 🔥😝🤘💯
There was an energy, an anger, a righteous indignation, a spirit of rebellion in the '80s that was deserved and welcomed that Quiet Riot delivered and delivered well. The '80s was a great time for metal music. Now, in 2018, the music is soft and limp --a music flaccid and void without the aid of Viagra. We must be thankful for the metal bands of the '80s that spoke of the frustration, anger and outrage that we in the '10s feel more than ever before.
Its not even metal today.its more like rust 80s rock
Check death punch. You need an angry outlet? They got you covered trust me
There were plenty of drugs lol
Amen sir.
2021 and listen to this song almost everyday.
A breath of fresh air after hearing some disco songs I personally cannot stand. Kevin Dubrow finally removes that dreaded straight jacket around 1:17 . Rest in peace, Kevin, Frankie and Randy!
What a tremendous, darn guitar player Carlos Cavazo is. I mean, he tore this up!
Fucking awesome memories right here! Born in '73, and proud to be a 80s Metal kid. All the best bands from the 80s - Quiet Riot, WASP, Mötley Crue, Guns n' Roses, Van Halen, Ratt, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Dio, etc. Love to all my fellow brothers and sisters from the 80s, keep on rocking!!!
I don't always listen to Quiet Riot, but when I do it's not quiet
Greasemonkey54 lol truth!! \m/\m/
Greasemonkey54 HAHAHA
This is great!
Greasemonkey54 Yes. Quiet Riot has the most ironic band name I ever heard!
There's no other way to listen to Quiet Riot.
Loud & Proud 'till you die.
One of the best riffs ever. Dig the bass entrance with the rhythm up slide.
I was born when this song came out. First herd it when I was 8 and haven't stopped making sure the windows are down and the volume wide open!
This song changed my life! I grew up on Top 40 radio & as a 14 year old heard this song & it woke something up in me that i never knew I had. & damn did my partents hate hearing that song over & over & over... Bam, I got a bass on my Bday! Love it!
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
I was 13. Although I'd heard ACDC and Kiss. This took me to another level and the world of Metal.
Who's banging there head in 2020 quarantine
Man I'm fucking sick of it. Where you at? How bad is it? And I don't mean the Cherry picked numbers the news is telling us
South tx...70 confirmed only cause they just started testing here...it will shoot up by end of week
Me!!
I'm waiting for my dad to scream turn that shit down and go to bed. Lol
Always baby !! 🎯🦾💪🦾💪🦾💪 🎸
One of the most epic songs of the early 80s. Quiet Riot - a milestone in the history of music, and most importantly - the popularization of hard rock and heavy metal
Quiet riot a great group i remember in the 80s when I was a teenager 💙
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.
Fuck yeah
That voice! Just the right amount of rasp ✌🏻
Saw them at the Us Festival in ‘83 ( heavy metal day) then Crüe, ozzy, priest, triumph, scorpions and Van Halen - what a day and for only $20 for the whole day !! Can’t beat that !! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽
Anyone else is going through their favorite jams thinking about life back in the days? Please tell me I'm not the only one✌🏼️
We all are...🤟
probably the greatest intro to any rock song ever...
Metal song...heavy metal
Metal song...heavy metal
What do u mean probably IT IS
+Cory Beeman Metal is just a sub genre of Rock.
+moremetalthanyou71 Yes it is...just like rock is a sub genre of blues
Every tiime I have a bad day, I recite the song lyrics. Always perks me up.
I'll be 45 this year. I listen to 80s music EVERY SINGLE DAY. There will never be another generation with this kind of music.
Pretty much an anthem of the 80’s... best decade for... EVERYTHING!
R.I.P. Kevin DuBrow.
This is where it all began for me. I was utterly obsessed with this back in the day. I’ve been a metalhead ever since.
RIP to the Great Frankie Banali! It was an honor to have met you brother an to have watched you Kick Ass on the Drums for Decades as you will be Forever Missed!
The early to mid 80s was the pinnacle of rock. Somehow it was pure, dirty, simple, and complex all at the same time.
LOVED WHEN THIS STARTED THE MOVIE "THE WRESTLER" AND "CRANK"!
Doctor House zajebisty film
I grew up listening to all the awesome 80's hair bands. 51 years old and still love to rock out to this. Rock on. 🤟🤟🤟
Back when music was music.
Yeah you're absolutely right about that the music of today ain't like it used to be
That's exactly what my parents said when Quiet Riot became popular.
A random father back in the mid 80's listening to a mid 1950's album:
"Back when music was music."
Totally music today stinks
Old but gold
This classic deserves to be played on full blast 💥
I was 16 when this song came out. I can remember working at Wendy’s on the closing crew. Once the store was closed, one of the guys would crank quiet riot on his boom box while floors were being mopped and grills were scrubbed! Good times...
We need to bring this music back, still love it, I listen to big hair bands of the 80s daily. It keeps me alive!
Terry Pawlawski 🤟🏻
It has been brought back. Check out Brother Firetribe - new music with that '80s sound.
Head banging is required to listen to this
A good boombox helps too.
Well shit I’ve been listening to this wrong all these days.
can i tap my foot lightly ?
40+ years and it still ROCKS
Classic metal!! Rebellion all the way!
timrhicks1234 ozzy mr tinkertrain
timrhicks1234 Already Mr. Tinker train play it
Mr Tinkertrain was way after this
they could kick some ass they was one hell of a band they knew how to rock. and put a damn great show on. 80s rules
Start your wedding reception party with this song
😂
on the school bus listening to the song 100 million times. with the boombox!!!😀😃 holy shit!
Can someone build me a time machine! I want to be trapped in 1983-1984 forever!!
+Keith Carlson why does 3:26 look like a weird 70s/80s tv horror/escaped mental patient movie there's something about/to it..
it does.
to me the 90's and new millennium never happened lol
if I can go with you I will start work on it IMMEDIATELY
Can I come too, I'm only 16 but I'd give up all the bullshit technology if I could go back to the 80's
