Quiet Riot is my 4th favorite band of all time. 1. Metal Health 2. Condition Critical 3. QR III 4. Terrified 5. QR 1988 6. Down To The Bone 7. Alive And Well 8. Guilty Pleasures 9. Rehab 10. Quiet Riot 10 11. Road Rage
Very underrated. True Quiet Riot fans know the band wasn’t all about Kevin, even though he was awesome. Carlos was a badass and he really shined on QR 88.
Frankie pulled "Ten" because of file sharing. Since it was download-only, anyone that wanted it wasn't going to have a physical copy to look at, and therefore just downloaded copies that other people posted online. The band didn't make money off of it due to people getting it for free instead of purchasing a download. I saw the band three times between June 2018 and December 2019 (and two of those shows I saw free, because Chuck Wright is a friend of mine. The other show was a benefit for veterans, so of course I paid for that). At the first of those three shows, I told Frankie I had waited to see if they'd put out a physical copy maybe a month or so later (as some have done before), but instead, it was pulled, and I never got it. Frankie told me he was talking to a couple of different companies about maybe putting out a physical copy. As for the comment about the production, I know they recorded the studio tracks on "Ten" at Skip Saylor's studio. Skip's wife, Lynn, is also a friend of mine. She did her own CD a while back, and Brian May played on it. Their studio has been used by a lot of big names, actually. Because Lynn is a friend, I've seen the photos. Snoop Dogg has been there. Beyonce recorded some of her "Lemonade" album there. Paula Abdul did some of "Forever Your Girl" there, including a couple of the hits from it. Guns N' Roses mixed the "Use Your Illusion" albums there. So it ain't some basement studio; it's a legit big-time recording facility. I know Lynn from way back on MySpace, where I actually found her through Joe Lyn Turner. It was on MySpace that I first knew Chuck Wright, too. That singer before James Durbin was Seann Nichols. After Quiet Riot canned him, Bobby Blotzer picked him up right away for his version of Ratt. There was a version of "Round and Round" with Nichols on here before (which might still be here), and that sucked, too. Durbin was a better option. Maybe you didn't like him, but I'm pretty sure you (and everyone else) would have liked Seann Nichols even less.
Great feedback! This is probably the most traffic any of my video comment sections have. 10 didn't sound so bad and was an ok album. The two albums that followed sounded like a big step down. Where ever it was made it should have sounded better. You can always overdub more and louder guitars. I think pulling the digital for 10 forced me to go to file sharing. I feel some other fans like myself would have paid just to support the band but didn't have the option. If it ever gets a physical copy I'll still buy it. Scott Vokoun was the singer I meant, not Seann Nichols. The one that played the festival in the doc. He was great.
Great feedback! At that time and even today, you make your money on touring and very little on royalties. I don't know why Frankie didn't have physical copies available regardless. Kinda sucks it''s not available. It's interesting you're friends with Chuck. I never met him although I've met the classic QR lineup a few times and got autographs. Regardless Chuck seems like a humble down to earth dude who's very dedicated to his craft. He's an excellent bassist and love his playing on Down to the Bone. Wish he toured with QR at that time because I've seen them many times live in the 90s.
I am a Quiet Riot fan since I heard "Metal Health" when I was in Jr. High. I recently paid $33 for "Down To The Bone" & haven't listened to it yet. Why not list the first two with Randy Rhoads ? They're pretty easy to find online now. I only paid around $10 for the first one. Good list
I have heard them and put the Randy Rhodes remix album as their honorable mention on the list to represent them. I just debate if their canon or not. Technically the Metal Health lineup onward was Kevin’s second band Dubrow renamed QR. that’s why QR 3 wasn’t really titled 5. Amazon has new copies for about $25. I have them as downloads but haven’t gotten around to buying them yet which I NEED for my collection also negating my argument they aren’t canon.
It is good. I especially like the live versions of it. I would have saved it for Condition Critical but you need to give a good bonus for some B-Sides to sell some singles.
Terrified was last played in the Kevin era back in 2000 with the classic lineup(Kevin Rudy Carlos and Frankie), but when they recruited James, they put it back in the set. Check out: One night in Milan-- the live record. It's on there and James sounded good on it.
Thanks for the information. I was into this band as a teen but for some reason checked out after QRIII. I had no idea they had so many albums. Be nice if someone could work on getting all of them released either to stream or buy.
@@BlackTerror Spotify has Terrified but under a different name, "Rock Masters: Cold Day In Hell" and Alive and Well. They also have Rehab on there but all the songs are unplayable last time I checked (Could have changed after the Rehab reissue that dropped at 8 AM this morning). I have not been able to find Down To The Bone on any streaming service at all, and songs from Guilty Pleasures are in rotation on Quiet Riot Radio on Pandora.
I am a big Quiet Riot fan, but I am missing a few things. Maybe you or someone else could point me in the right direction. Missing Two Songs: 1. Wired to the Moon - Rehab 2. Make a Way (Acoustic Version) - Road Rage Missing Album: Quiet Riot 10 (it is not available on iTunes or Amazon - I blinked and it was gone.) If anyone knows where I can find these, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
As far as Quiet Riot 10 goes, I torrented it. I wanted to support the band but they took it off itunes that was the only way to get it. The other two songs I can't find anywhere.
Fun fact about the Rehab album: Frankie and Kevin both stated they wanted to go back to their roots of all the bands they loved growing up. Like a 70s vibe. I can hear a Zeppelin vibe in "South of Heaven".
I read an interview where Kevin talked about having creative freedom not worrying how it would affect sales for Rehab. He was never going to get played on the radio so they thought why not get experimental.
@Black Terror - Very interesting. They were actually on Rockline after the album was released and the host: Bob Coburn(R.I.P.) interviewed them thoroughly as well as had them play some tracks off the album live. It was awesome. Plus I seen a show from that tour in a small Jersey club and they were awesome. Sadly, it was the last time I seen Kevin live.
Production aside, I dig 'Road Rage'. Some really good tunes, in my opinion. As far as Jizzy, you really need to check out Love/Hate. 'Blackout In The Red Room' is a killer album.
I’ll check out Love/Hate because now they’re forever linked to QR one of my all time favorites, but my beef with Jizzy he is a journeyman and Kevin was a star, (and Stephen Pearcy, who he was filling in for with Ratt, the one time I saw Jizzy live).
Saw him play with Ratt on The Rock Never Stops tour. I'm not familiar with Love/Hate I was not impressed. 10 was OK though, and I do like him better than Durbin.
Great vid! I’m a huge Quiet Riot fan and have been for years. I discovered Terrified the same way you did. Solid album. Rude Crude Mood has been a fav ever since the first listen. I also love the QR album. Shouldn’t have been under the Quiet Riot name since it doesn’t sound anything like them which is probably why most people ignored it. Since the worst album Road Rage they released another worst one called Hollywood Cowboys which was equally as bad. I got both of those for $5 each along with the live album they did with him straight from the label when they did a clearance sale. I am a James Durbin fan but he was never a good fit and just a publicity thing for Frankie. Durbin even pans the albums saying he had no input on them. Durbin’s metal band is awesome though. He has a self titled album Durbin and is getting ready to release a new album called Screaming Steel which sounds awesome so far.
Thanks for the kind words! I’d say Terrified and QR are underrated but every Quiet Riot fan in this comment section seems to like QR and loves Terrified. They just got no attention when they came out. I eventually filled my collection and bought Road Rage and Hollywood Cowboys. I listened to them both only a couple times. I remember I listened to Hollywood Cowboy shoveling snow in my driveway and that was it. I feel bad for Durbin. I’d give him a second chance and check out his solo stuff. Those albums were so generic but I don’t blame him for them. There were no big multitracked guitars, no big gang vocal choruses. Nothing Quiet Riot is known for.
Jizzy Pearl was in a band called: Love/Hate. They were just your average hair band. Their big "hit" was "Blackout in the Red Room", which they play now in QR. It's a mistake because it's not that good of a song and they could play a deep cut QR song instead.
I have a limited press vinyl copy of Terrified coming in the mail. 400 copies ever made. Super stoked because Terrified freakin' rules. Best $500 I ever spent
That’s a collection centerpiece! I’m glad I made this video. Terrified is one of my all time favorite albums and so many people in the comment section have shown it some love. It wasn’t just me who loved that fairly obscure album.
Better late than never. Here’s my ranking including the very new one. Have you heard it? You didn’t include the First two so I won’t. 1. Metal Health 2. Condition Critical 3. Guilty Pleasures (Underrated) 4. Alive and Well ( Underrated) 5. QR 3 6. QR 7. Down To The Bone 8. Terrified 9. Road Rage 10. 10 11. Rehab 12. Hollywood Cowboys
Wow! 10 over Terrified?! Controversial, but that's what i like about fan rankings. I heard Hollywood Cowboys but still haven't bought it for my collection yet. It's tied for the bottom with Road Rage unfortunately. I would have rathered they rerecorded it with Jizzy. I'm not a big fan of his but he's better for QR than Durbin who's already gone.
Not a bad ranking list. I would put Down to the Bone in the top 5. Solid production and very Underrated. Saw them multiple times live, met them(the classic metal health lineup)...all great guys. Kevin was so funny and he is well missed. ☹️
So sad. It’s tied for last. I listened once because I’m a completionist. Production sounds bad and songs are forgettable just like Road Rage. Recording is digital, it costs nothing to overdub more guitars and gang vocals on choruses! It sounds like they made it at home so I don’t see why they couldn’t re-record vocals with Jizzy if Durbin quit before it was released. I’m not a big fan of Jizzy but he’s better than James.
Black Terror I see what you mean, but I think Road Rage is a weaker album because at least Hollywood Cowboys had more energy. Road Rage is more somber and mellower than Hollywood Cowboys in my opinion.
I agree with You 💯 % about Condition Critical. I think it was a rush job thanks to the record company and producer Specer Proffer. "Mama weer all Crazee Now" was actually recorded during the Metal Health sessions because they weren't sure if it was that or 'Noize making the album. One underrated track I adore off of Condition Critical is "Red Alert"!! Carlos does an incredible slide guitar solo on it. Carlos doesn't get enough respect. I think he's fantastic!
If Terrified was the next album I think they would have sustained and grew their fame. That album was much more legit, but I do like Condition Critical a lot, especially the title song. Carlos’s guitars on QR made an album that should have stunk reasonably awesome.
Not that huge a fan of them. I like them but not enough to do a full worst to best. I have to have loved the bands I do forever and lived with all the albums for a long time.
A label called No Remorse Records has reissued the first two albums officially. Also, don't knock Durbin. He has a new band with some Stryper and Riot guys, and it's getting good reviews. It's called Clean Break.
I didn’t want to not like Durbin. I just thought he was a bad fit. With him the band sounded nothing like QR. what really sank him was the bad production on his two albums. No big gang vocal choruses on the songs. That’s what Quiet Riot is known for.
@@JIF882 I liked QR (1988) with Paul Shortino. That was a total departure but the Durbin albums didn't have Carlos. I like it when my favorite artists take a hard turn, but with no Kevin or Carlos, the most identifiable members sonically its too much of a change.
I’m an OG fan who saw the first two tours. Metal Health was lightning in a bottle and had some great tunes. Condition Critical was cover to cover better production just nothing iconic. Now with that said after that most of the rest was middle of the road EXCEPT: Terrified which was great! It truly was Carlos’ pinnacle. Now the argument opinions: QR with Shortino was Fantastic but it really wasn’t Quiet Riot. QRIII: total synth shit.... Trash personified
I agree that QR doesn’t fit at all with the rest of their stuff. Especially seeing live clips from that tour playing the classics, but Carlos played like a boss on that album as square a peg it is in their discography. I can’t fault you for not liking QRIII. I didn’t like it when I first heard it. It grew on me, but I remember how disappointed and shocked I was when I first heard it.
I didn't even finish it. I don't have to alter my list because its at the bottom interchangebly with Road Rage. They learned nothing from that album. Bad production, mediocre bar band songs. The video they put out was cool though.
Down to the Bone is a lost gem and belongs ranked better than 1988. Any Dubrow era albums should be ranked higher than other albums with other singers. Let's get real. After all, Kevin is the VOICE of QR!!
Dismissing the 88 album though dismisses Carlos's contribution to the band. He had some sick songs on that album. They made no good album without him (minus the Randy Rhoads stuff but I don't consider that canon). You can have QR without Kevin, or without Carlos, but it's not QR without them both. He's an underrated guitar hero.
@@BlackTerror - If you saw my rankings, I didn't totally dismiss it. I still have it ahead of the 2 latest ones with James and the 1 with Jizzy. As for the Randy Rhoads album, it's really good, but that was the pre-fame era and Kevin himself kinda dismissed that era in past interviews. All I know is I totally miss Kevin. To me, No Kevin = No QR.
I said it somewhere before, that I think if Kevin were still alive they would have gotten a decent comeback eventually opening for some big gigs like Cheap Trick always seem to get. He was such a big personality.
@@BlackTerror -- It's ironic you mentioned Cheap Trick...that's a band that never truly got their due. They have a ton of excellent material and still release new music and no one cares these days. Quiet Riot reminds me of them a lot. Like Cheap Trick, they've had a few hits and top album but rarely went on a headlining tour. Not even on the Metal Health tour did they headline. They opened up for Black Sabbath on the Born again album tour with Ian Gillan from Deep Purple on vocals. I do Agree with you...If Kevin was still alive, they'd be touring with big bands.
@Black Terror - After listening again yes the 1988 album is excellent. I love the intro to "Don't wanna be your Fool". It's very Whitesnake influenced. Paul Shortino has that bluesy David Coverdale vibe going and I love that! The album should have been. Way bigger but Kevin's big mouth gave QR a bad name eventually and unfortunately.
mi Ranking del podio sería 1- Quiet Riot(1993)Terrified 02 - Quiet Riot(1988)Quiet Riot 03 - Quiet Riot(1983)Metal Health Muy Bueno tu video. podrias hacer Ranking de Ozzy,W.A.S.P , Accept ,Iron Maiden y U.D.O ? Muchas Gracias
Your top three are wise picks. Terrified is criminally underrated. As for what's next, I'm putting up my Black Sabbath ranking video sometime this week. Kiss and Elton John are probably next. Iron Maiden or Ozzy I can't do a full list because I don't own every album. I never listened to the rest of those bands.
I don't think I can. I haven't listened to all their albums. I only own about half their studio discography. Here's ranking all the ones I do own though... 1. Powerslave 2. Number of the Beast 3. Iron Maiden 4. Killers 5. A Real Dead One (Honorable mention/not a studio album/christmas gift) 6. Virtual XI (I like this album a lot) 7. Seventh Son (strangely 7th) 8. Book of Souls 9. X-Factor 10. A Matter of Life and Death (boring, the only one I own I truly don't like)
@@BlackTerror all Dickinson albums are way better than 1st and 3rd singer. Seventh Son is a masterpiece!! Top 3 for me: Seventh Son, Beast and Piece of Mind. If you don't own Piece of Mind, please get it!
@@antimurphy8212 I'm sorry, there is no way on this planet that A Matter Of Life and Death, Book of Souls, Brave New World, Dance Of Death, or Final Frontier is better than Killers or their Debut.
My QR list 1 Metal Health 2 Down to the Bones 3 Terrified 4 Guilty Pleasures 5 Alive & Well 6 Condition Critical 7 Quiet Riot IV 8 Hollywood Cowboys 9 Rehab 10 Quiet Riot III 11 Quiet Riot II 12 Road Rage 13 Quiet Riot I
Thank you for the list! Good to see everybody loves Terrified! A little shocked by the low placement of III compared to other list shared but I understand. I myself didn’t like it on my first few plays. Although I do like it now, they’re career would have maintained doing something more classic sounding like Guilty Pleasures at #4. Hollywood Cowboys gets some love at #9. I do think it was the better of the two Durbin albums even though I was disappointed by both.
@@BlackTerror I got QR III when it came out, I didn't like it so much back then, but I do like it a bite more now. The Ballets are really good on it, such as Slave to Love. QR III was their glam album, though QR was never a glam band, they pre-date glam by few years, they just got lumped in with the rest of the L.A. bands.
@@mirko1382 Put Up or Shut Up is a good one off that album too. Don't know if its still in the live set but they did a good live version of it on QR 10.
@@Otterboxer101 Emailing bootleg albums on youtube is not a road I want to go down on youtube but torrenting is my advice for you. Get googling! I found it, it is out there. Peace and love!
I really liked it. When I talk metal and tell people that Quiet Riot is one of my favorite bands I always get sideways looks. The new song really reinforces how good of a singer Kevin Dubrow really was. Great voice with a lot of personality. Being a ballad too he really shined and made you miss him more.
@@BlackTerror well QR is also one of my fav! Kinda sad that there aren't that many QR Fans left i rarely see some but i always love to see some :P R.I.P Kevin and Frankie
@@A64-i1r I feel that if Kevin lived QR would have caught that wave of nostalgia that alot of 80's bands got a boost from in the past 10-15 years. Maybe opening for bigger bands on a outdoor summer tour like the gigs Cheap Trick always seem to get.
@@BlackTerror would love to see that! I just listened to alive and well and i must it's pretty underrated! My fav song from it is against the wall but Carlos solos are on point on this record on every song
Unfortunately my opinion of Hollywood Cowboys was the same as Road Rage, I didn’t like it. They are tied for last place. I was hoping it would have been a step up and they might have progressed but they didn’t.
I’m of two minds on that subject after some deep thought. It’s not really QR anymore without him or Kevin but it would be a shame if nobody ever played those songs again.
1 condition critical 2 quite riot 3 3 metal health 4 terrified 5 alive and well 6 quite riot 4 7 down to the bone 8 guilty pleasures 9 rehab 10 Hollywood cowboys 11 quite riot 10 12 road rage Jizzy pearl is in love hate who are better than quite riot 10 album great band terrible name to name yourself
Thanks for sharing your list! I continue to be glad Terrified gets a lot of love, you got it at a high #4. I think it’s unanimous it’s a hidden gem. Very interesting you got Critical over Metal Health. It’s an upset victory for #1 and I like it when fans have them. My list is old and doesn’t include the Durbin albums but they would have been last unfortunately. But I agree with Hollywood Cowboys over Road Rage. I listened to it twice in a row shoveling the driveway last winter but only skimmed road rage. 10 had some good live tracks though.
@@BlackTerror -- Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Little Angel is a cover. No one from QR is listed on the credits for that tune. Red Alert is a phenomenal tune. Wish they played it live but never have.
They should have kept Mark Huff the way they dumped him sucked. He had the voice. Love QR good review Terrified and Down to the Bone are lost gems I am glad I got them both on cd.
@BlackTerror - They didn't...he left on his own. Wanted to do the family thing over touring. I don't think anyone understands when you join a big band like that, it's a huge commitment. Unfortunately family and friends take a backseat. Scott didn't get it I guess.
@@BlackTerror yes,did you hear those rerecords with huff ?....they sounded great !!....he fit the qr songs perfect !.......he recorded 2 original songs with craig goldy that were great too !!
The re-recordings were ok. I think out of all the replacement singers Scott Voukon was the best stage performer and sounded the most like Kevin but he got fired before the documentary even ended.
I did. I gotta say, i’m Really not looking forward to the new album. Of course I’m buying it though. James Durbin sings the QR songs live pretty good but the albums just sound nothing like Quiet Riot. Even if it doesn’t sound like QR like QR88 didn’t, but that was a good album despite that. This new stuff and road rage sound cheap and lazy and I was rooting for them.
@@BlackTerror -; Good post. I agree 💯%. A lot of it has to do with Frankie writing with Neil Citron. I believe his guitar sound and playing sucks or at best out of place for the Quiet Riot sound. Throw it in with a new singer and it doesn't work.
@@antimurphy8212 My biggest problem with it overall is how cheap the production sound is. You can't even take it seriously. I know it was probably recorded on a budget but that is no excuse. Overdub them guitars and make it sound big which is free to do if your recording on a computer! Hide a little keyboard in the background like Cum on Feel The Noize. Gang Vocals on chorus! Anything to make it sound like QR!
Neil Citron- Frankie's "songwriting partner" ruined the fucking QR sound. He sucks on lead guitar and has no concept on how to write a metal riff. Why isn't Alex Grossi contributing? Head scratcher for sure. Get Cavazo back to at least write new songs. He always wrote killer riffs!! 🤘
I’ll ask you then… would you consider Quiet Riot from Metal Health on as a new band reusing an old name or a continuation of the Randy Rhodes years? I consider them two different bands do to the nucleus of Carlos and Frankie.
@@BlackTerror two different era's that's for sure but , as far as a New band , No. There are many bands that changed members due to untimely death. , jail time or opposing ideals of what should be.
Just think about if say...Rush changed their name after hiring Peart or Metallica after mcgovney was replaced by Cliff or when Newstead was brought in after cliff's death , and Kirk replaced Mustaine after he was fired.
@@GlamprinceRockking I get it what your saying. I always viewed QR from Metal Health on as a separate project but its a flawed view because of all the lineup changes that followed after carlos and rudy left after the reunion. It would circle back around to Rehab not being a real Quiet Riot album which I do consider it to be.
Quiet Riot is my 4th favorite band of all time.
1. Metal Health
2. Condition Critical
3. QR III
4. Terrified
5. QR 1988
6. Down To The Bone
7. Alive And Well
8. Guilty Pleasures
9. Rehab
10. Quiet Riot 10
11. Road Rage
We're not far off in taste. Almost a decending order of quality in release except for Terrified over QR 1988 for you.
I would switch 5 with 9. Other than that I agree.
My favorite band Is kiss
But quiet riot is up there !
@@godoftoysandthunderawesome9513 My favorite band of all time is KISS too.
@@demetriosk6536 do you watch Dr. Fukk ?
QR from 1988 is a masterpiece. My no. 1 Quiet Riot album. Shortino was a breathe of fresh air and the band sounded heavier and bluesier.
Very underrated. True Quiet Riot fans know the band wasn’t all about Kevin, even though he was awesome. Carlos was a badass and he really shined on QR 88.
Frankie pulled "Ten" because of file sharing.

As far as Quiet Riot 10 goes, I torrented it. I wanted to support the band but they took it off itunes that was the only way to get it. The other two songs I can't find anywhere.
10 didn’t get pulled. It was only released via iTunes and Amazon digitally.
It was only available for a weeks though.
Fun fact about the Rehab album: Frankie and Kevin both stated they wanted to go back to their roots of all the bands they loved growing up. Like a 70s vibe. I can hear a Zeppelin vibe in "South of Heaven".
I read an interview where Kevin talked about having creative freedom not worrying how it would affect sales for Rehab. He was never going to get played on the radio so they thought why not get experimental.

Plus I seen a show from that tour in a small Jersey club and they were awesome. Sadly, it was the last time I seen Kevin live.
Production aside, I dig 'Road Rage'. Some really good tunes, in my opinion. As far as Jizzy, you really need to check out Love/Hate. 'Blackout In The Red Room' is a killer album.
I’ll check out Love/Hate because now they’re forever linked to QR one of my all time favorites, but my beef with Jizzy he is a journeyman and Kevin was a star, (and Stephen Pearcy, who he was filling in for with Ratt, the one time I saw Jizzy live).
@@BlackTerror - Good point. It's like Tom Brady (the star) or Ryan Fitzpatrick (the journeyman).
@@BlackTerror - Excellent point!
Check out Backside of water by Quiet Riot off of the digital release.
Wasted In America is even better!!
Man, youre viedeos are really good! Enjoyed this one
Thanks! They’re fun to make purging all my thoughts I have from listening to my favorite bands for years.
1.Metal Health
2. QR (1988) Paul Shortino from Rough Cutt !!
QR 88’ needs more love! That album was a strange anomaly but was awesome.
man jizzy pearl was the lead singer of love/hate ' L.a guns and Adler's Appetite . he's a great singer with a long career .
Saw him play with Ratt on The Rock Never Stops tour. I'm not familiar with Love/Hate I was not impressed. 10 was OK though, and I do like him better than Durbin.
And also Ratt He was a journeyman for sure.
Great vid! I’m a huge Quiet Riot fan and have been for years. I discovered Terrified the same way you did. Solid album. Rude Crude Mood has been a fav ever since the first listen. I also love the QR album. Shouldn’t have been under the Quiet Riot name since it doesn’t sound anything like them which is probably why most people ignored it.
Since the worst album Road Rage they released another worst one called Hollywood Cowboys which was equally as bad. I got both of those for $5 each along with the live album they did with him straight from the label when they did a clearance sale. I am a James Durbin fan but he was never a good fit and just a publicity thing for Frankie. Durbin even pans the albums saying he had no input on them. Durbin’s metal band is awesome though. He has a self titled album Durbin and is getting ready to release a new album called Screaming Steel which sounds awesome so far.
Thanks for the kind words!
I’d say Terrified and QR are underrated but every Quiet Riot fan in this comment section seems to like QR and loves Terrified. They just got no attention when they came out.
I eventually filled my collection and bought Road Rage and Hollywood Cowboys. I listened to them both only a couple times. I remember I listened to Hollywood Cowboy shoveling snow in my driveway and that was it. I feel bad for Durbin. I’d give him a second chance and check out his solo stuff. Those albums were so generic but I don’t blame him for them. There were no big multitracked guitars, no big gang vocal choruses. Nothing Quiet Riot is known for.
yes....terrified is a masterpiece !!
Jizzy Pearl was in a band called: Love/Hate. They were just your average hair band. Their big "hit" was "Blackout in the Red Room", which they play now in QR. It's a mistake because it's not that good of a song and they could play a deep cut QR song instead.
I think Little Angel off Terrified is my favorite deep cut. That needs to be dusted off instead of Love/Hate stuff.
Quiet Riot 10 is my current White Whale as far as finding a copy to complete the QR studio discography.
I’m afraid you’ll only find it torrenting. There is no official release anywhere and they never released a physical copy.
I have a limited press vinyl copy of Terrified coming in the mail. 400 copies ever made. Super stoked because Terrified freakin' rules. Best $500 I ever spent
That’s a collection centerpiece! I’m glad I made this video. Terrified is one of my all time favorite albums and so many people in the comment section have shown it some love. It wasn’t just me who loved that fairly obscure album.
For me quiet is carlos frankie r.i.p. kevin and rudi sarzo
RIP Frankie. He’ll be missed.
Better late than never. Here’s my ranking including the very new one. Have you heard it? You didn’t include the First two so I won’t.
1. Metal Health
2. Condition Critical
3. Guilty Pleasures (Underrated)
4. Alive and Well ( Underrated)
5. QR 3
6. QR
7. Down To The Bone
8. Terrified
9. Road Rage
10. 10
11. Rehab
12. Hollywood Cowboys
Wow! 10 over Terrified?! Controversial, but that's what i like about fan rankings. I heard Hollywood Cowboys but still haven't bought it for my collection yet. It's tied for the bottom with Road Rage unfortunately. I would have rathered they rerecorded it with Jizzy. I'm not a big fan of his but he's better for QR than Durbin who's already gone.
Black Terror The amount of line up changes is very confusing isn’t it. Kind of like Black Sabbath in the 80s
@@JCStorm76 For some reason my brain can remember stuff like that and band discographies but I couldn't pass chemistry or math to save my life.
Black Terror Haha
Not a bad ranking list. I would put Down to the Bone in the top 5. Solid production and very Underrated. Saw them multiple times live, met them(the classic metal health lineup)...all great guys. Kevin was so funny and he is well missed. ☹️
What’s your opinion on Hollywood Cowboys?
So sad. It’s tied for last. I listened once because I’m a completionist. Production sounds bad and songs are forgettable just like Road Rage. Recording is digital, it costs nothing to overdub more guitars and gang vocals on choruses! It sounds like they made it at home so I don’t see why they couldn’t re-record vocals with Jizzy if Durbin quit before it was released. I’m not a big fan of Jizzy but he’s better than James.
Black Terror between Road Rage and Hollywood Cowboys, which do you think is worse?
I’ll say Hollywood Cowboys is worse. I was expecting a stronger effort after Road Rage so I’m more disappointed.
Black Terror I see what you mean, but I think Road Rage is a weaker album because at least Hollywood Cowboys had more energy. Road Rage is more somber and mellower than Hollywood Cowboys in my opinion.
I agree with You 💯 % about Condition Critical. I think it was a rush job thanks to the record company and producer Specer Proffer. "Mama weer all Crazee Now" was actually recorded during the Metal Health sessions because they weren't sure if it was that or 'Noize making the album. One underrated track I adore off of Condition Critical is "Red Alert"!! Carlos does an incredible slide guitar solo on it. Carlos doesn't get enough respect. I think he's fantastic!
If Terrified was the next album I think they would have sustained and grew their fame. That album was much more legit, but I do like Condition Critical a lot, especially the title song. Carlos’s guitars on QR made an album that should have stunk reasonably awesome.
Can you review Ratts albums?
Not that huge a fan of them. I like them but not enough to do a full worst to best. I have to have loved the bands I do forever and lived with all the albums for a long time.
A label called No Remorse Records has reissued the first two albums officially. Also, don't knock Durbin. He has a new band with some Stryper and Riot guys, and it's getting good reviews. It's called Clean Break.
I didn’t want to not like Durbin. I just thought he was a bad fit. With him the band sounded nothing like QR. what really sank him was the bad production on his two albums. No big gang vocal choruses on the songs. That’s what Quiet Riot is known for.
@@BlackTerror Bands change
@@JIF882 I liked QR (1988) with Paul Shortino. That was a total departure but the Durbin albums didn't have Carlos. I like it when my favorite artists take a hard turn, but with no Kevin or Carlos, the most identifiable members sonically its too much of a change.
I’m an OG fan who saw the first two tours. Metal Health was lightning in a bottle and had some great tunes. Condition Critical was cover to cover better production just nothing iconic. Now with that said after that most of the rest was middle of the road EXCEPT: Terrified which was great! It truly was Carlos’ pinnacle.
Now the argument opinions:
QR with Shortino was Fantastic but it really wasn’t Quiet Riot.
QRIII: total synth shit.... Trash personified
I agree that QR doesn’t fit at all with the rest of their stuff. Especially seeing live clips from that tour playing the classics, but Carlos played like a boss on that album as square a peg it is in their discography.
I can’t fault you for not liking QRIII. I didn’t like it when I first heard it. It grew on me, but I remember how disappointed and shocked I was when I first heard it.
I actually like qr 3
@@A64-i1r You got to warm up to QR3 because it doesn’t sound like the first two, then you can really appreciate it.
I love All quiet riot
Qr3 is amazing condition critical metal health.
If you guys never heard the song called (the ritual) check it out
That’s a great song. I always liked it when QR would slow it down and get a little darker and heavier like this and Condition Critical.
Great video can't wait to watch more !
My next Worst to Best will be Elton John. Should make it in the next week or two.
What did you think of Hollywood Cowboys?
I didn't even finish it. I don't have to alter my list because its at the bottom interchangebly with Road Rage. They learned nothing from that album. Bad production, mediocre bar band songs. The video they put out was cool though.
@@BlackTerror I like it more than Road Rage and Quiet Riot 10.
10 was actually ok.
It sucks-- Hollywood Cowboys. The album cover is the WORST QR album cover EVER!! No thought or regard for the legacy. Great job there Frankie
Down to the Bone is a lost gem and belongs ranked better than 1988. Any Dubrow era albums should be ranked higher than other albums with other singers. Let's get real. After all, Kevin is the VOICE of QR!!
Dismissing the 88 album though dismisses Carlos's contribution to the band. He had some sick songs on that album. They made no good album without him (minus the Randy Rhoads stuff but I don't consider that canon). You can have QR without Kevin, or without Carlos, but it's not QR without them both. He's an underrated guitar hero.
@@BlackTerror - If you saw my rankings, I didn't totally dismiss it. I still have it ahead of the 2 latest ones with James and the 1 with Jizzy. As for the Randy Rhoads album, it's really good, but that was the pre-fame era and Kevin himself kinda dismissed that era in past interviews. All I know is I totally miss Kevin. To me, No Kevin = No QR.
I said it somewhere before, that I think if Kevin were still alive they would have gotten a decent comeback eventually opening for some big gigs like Cheap Trick always seem to get. He was such a big personality.
@@BlackTerror -- It's ironic you mentioned Cheap Trick...that's a band that never truly got their due. They have a ton of excellent material and still release new music and no one cares these days. Quiet Riot reminds me of them a lot. Like Cheap Trick, they've had a few hits and top album but rarely went on a headlining tour. Not even on the Metal Health tour did they headline. They opened up for Black Sabbath on the Born again album tour with Ian Gillan from Deep Purple on vocals. I do Agree with you...If Kevin was still alive, they'd be touring with big bands.
@Black Terror - After listening again yes the 1988 album is excellent. I love the intro to "Don't wanna be your Fool". It's very Whitesnake influenced. Paul Shortino has that bluesy David Coverdale vibe going and I love that! The album should have been. Way bigger but Kevin's big mouth gave QR a bad name eventually and unfortunately.
mi Ranking del podio sería 1- Quiet Riot(1993)Terrified 02 - Quiet Riot(1988)Quiet Riot 03 - Quiet Riot(1983)Metal Health Muy Bueno tu video. podrias hacer Ranking de Ozzy,W.A.S.P , Accept ,Iron Maiden y U.D.O ? Muchas Gracias
Your top three are wise picks. Terrified is criminally underrated. As for what's next, I'm putting up my Black Sabbath ranking video sometime this week. Kiss and Elton John are probably next. Iron Maiden or Ozzy I can't do a full list because I don't own every album. I never listened to the rest of those bands.
Can you rank Iron Maiden's discography?
I don't think I can. I haven't listened to all their albums. I only own about half their studio discography. Here's ranking all the ones I do own though...
1. Powerslave
2. Number of the Beast
3. Iron Maiden
4. Killers
5. A Real Dead One (Honorable mention/not a studio album/christmas gift)
6. Virtual XI (I like this album a lot)
7. Seventh Son (strangely 7th)
8. Book of Souls
9. X-Factor
10. A Matter of Life and Death (boring, the only one I own I truly don't like)
@@BlackTerror all Dickinson albums are way better than 1st and 3rd singer. Seventh Son is a masterpiece!! Top 3 for me: Seventh Son, Beast and Piece of Mind. If you don't own Piece of Mind, please get it!
@@antimurphy8212 I'm sorry, there is no way on this planet that A Matter Of Life and Death, Book of Souls, Brave New World, Dance Of Death, or Final Frontier is better than Killers or their Debut.
@@BlackTerror -- Bruce Dickinson is way better than Paul Dianno on vocals. Sorry Bro-- Facts are facts.
Bruce is a better singer but those albums Paul did were masterpieces. Their both in Maidens top five albums.
My QR list
1 Metal Health
2 Down to the Bones
3 Terrified
4 Guilty Pleasures
5 Alive & Well
6 Condition Critical
7 Quiet Riot IV
8 Hollywood Cowboys
9 Rehab
10 Quiet Riot III
11 Quiet Riot II
12 Road Rage
13 Quiet Riot I
Thank you for the list! Good to see everybody loves Terrified! A little shocked by the low placement of III compared to other list shared but I understand. I myself didn’t like it on my first few plays. Although I do like it now, they’re career would have maintained doing something more classic sounding like Guilty Pleasures at #4. Hollywood Cowboys gets some love at #9. I do think it was the better of the two Durbin albums even though I was disappointed by both.
@@BlackTerror I got QR III when it came out, I didn't like it so much back then, but I do like it a bite more now. The Ballets are really good on it, such as Slave to Love. QR III was their glam album, though QR was never a glam band, they pre-date glam by few years, they just got lumped in with the rest of the L.A. bands.
@@mirko1382 Put Up or Shut Up is a good one off that album too. Don't know if its still in the live set but they did a good live version of it on QR 10.
did you get the new release of the first 2 ....in 2022 ??
No not yet. They're a little pricey for single cd's. I have them as downloads but need to upgrade to a physical copy though.
To this day is there anyway to listen to Quiet Riot 10 you can no longer buy it on Amazon And there's no videos on youtube
I just googled pretty hard and your right. (*correction, it's there if you look really hard)
@@BlackTerror do you still have Quiet Riot 10 is there anyway I could pay you to send the download to me?
@@Otterboxer101 Emailing bootleg albums on youtube is not a road I want to go down on youtube but torrenting is my advice for you. Get googling! I found it, it is out there. Peace and love!
@@BlackTerror thanks for the information been trying to get it for so long
i agree with you on everything
To throw a compliment back, it is my honor to have your same opinions!
@@BlackTerror thanks man you got a new follower
@@anticolorband Sweeeeet!
What do you think about the "new" single? :P
I really liked it. When I talk metal and tell people that Quiet Riot is one of my favorite bands I always get sideways looks. The new song really reinforces how good of a singer Kevin Dubrow really was. Great voice with a lot of personality. Being a ballad too he really shined and made you miss him more.
@@BlackTerror well QR is also one of my fav! Kinda sad that there aren't that many QR Fans left i rarely see some but i always love to see some :P R.I.P Kevin and Frankie
@@A64-i1r I feel that if Kevin lived QR would have caught that wave of nostalgia that alot of 80's bands got a boost from in the past 10-15 years. Maybe opening for bigger bands on a outdoor summer tour like the gigs Cheap Trick always seem to get.
@@BlackTerror would love to see that! I just listened to alive and well and i must it's pretty underrated! My fav song from it is against the wall but Carlos solos are on point on this record on every song
Also kinda sad: I'm just 17, so pretty much none of my friends really like QR XD but i kinda intrudoced one and he liked sooo there's still hope 😂
Do you like Hollywood Cowboys?
Unfortunately my opinion of Hollywood Cowboys was the same as Road Rage, I didn’t like it. They are tied for last place. I was hoping it would have been a step up and they might have progressed but they didn’t.
@@BlackTerror yeah
try polish band TSA heavy metal world song
Checked it out. Wow, that was cool and weird. Sounded like Quiet Riot meets AC/DC but I couldn't understand them which made it neat to listen too!
@@BlackTerror check english version of this album and song spolka by tsa live version
I was lucky enough to see them with Frankie and Kevin at bearfest salt lake City Utah
Strangely I saw them play with Ratt when Jizzy was their singer. The rock world is small.
Now Frankie pased... I think they should split up now honestly...
I’m of two minds on that subject after some deep thought. It’s not really QR anymore without him or Kevin but it would be a shame if nobody ever played those songs again.
Terrified is a amazing
It's one of my favorite albums of all time not just quiet riot.
I’m surprised it has never got a reissue. Every QR fan knows it and loves it. A remaster with some bonus stuff is an easy sell I think.
1 condition critical
2 quite riot 3
3 metal health
4 terrified
5 alive and well
6 quite riot 4
7 down to the bone
8 guilty pleasures

10 Hollywood cowboys

Jizzy pearl is in love hate who are better than quite riot 10 album great band terrible name to name yourself
Thanks for sharing your list! I continue to be glad Terrified gets a lot of love, you got it at a high #4. I think it’s unanimous it’s a hidden gem. Very interesting you got Critical over Metal Health. It’s an upset victory for #1 and I like it when fans have them.
My list is old and doesn’t include the Durbin albums but they would have been last unfortunately. But I agree with Hollywood Cowboys over Road Rage. I listened to it twice in a row shoveling the driveway last winter but only skimmed road rage. 10 had some good live tracks though.
Red Alert is a great unrecognized QR song
Little Angel is my pick for great unrecognized song. Can't find any live versions of it.
@@BlackTerror Never played it afaik
I’m not crazy about the current band but they do play Terrified. That’s a plus.
@@BlackTerror -- Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Little Angel is a cover. No one from QR is listed on the credits for that tune. Red Alert is a phenomenal tune. Wish they played it live but never have.
Resurrection 😍😍😍
That is such a sick song. Carlos is totally underrated.
The Rock Candy reissues sound awesome!!!
I loved the red carpet treatment 3 and QR got in the reissued they got from them.
@@BlackTerror they both deserved it. I was in High school when they both came out and glad to see they still sound fresh to these ears
Are you going to rank W.A.S.P discography?
No, unfortunately I don't really follow them.
@@BlackTerror -- Well you should! They kick ass and Frankie drums on a shit load of their albums!
They should have kept Mark Huff the way they dumped him sucked. He had the voice. Love QR good review Terrified and Down to the Bone are lost gems I am glad I got them both on cd.
I can accept them firing Mark Huff even though it sucked the way it was done but why did they get rid of Scott Voukon next? That dude was awesome.
@BlackTerror - They didn't...he left on his own. Wanted to do the family thing over touring. I don't think anyone understands when you join a big band like that, it's a huge commitment. Unfortunately family and friends take a backseat. Scott didn't get it I guess.
Quiet riot is great band i love all the cd exept the new cd is bad .
All of Quiet Riot's albums have their good qualities that you can debate their rank but that album is indefensible though.
best singer after Kevin was that huff guy !!
He was pretty good but turns out he had some sort of health issue and had to have brain surgery. Luckily he's still alive.
@@BlackTerror yes,did you hear those rerecords with huff ?....they sounded great !!....he fit the qr songs perfect !.......he recorded 2 original songs with craig goldy that were great too !!
The re-recordings were ok. I think out of all the replacement singers Scott Voukon was the best stage performer and sounded the most like Kevin but he got fired before the documentary even ended.
@@BlackTerror -- Scott didn't get fired. He quit based on family commitments. He didn't understand it was a job too and not a garage band situation.
@@antimurphy8212 I feel like he was their only shot at reclaiming glory. He had charisma.
Love QR 🤘
I'm glad i made this video. It surprisingly pulled out the QR fans out of the woodwork.
I didn't know quite riot had any good albums
If you can find it, Terrified. An underground classic.
this is not that bad !!!....Listen To New QUIET RIOT Song 'Heartbreak City'
I did. I gotta say, i’m Really not looking forward to the new album. Of course I’m buying it though. James Durbin sings the QR songs live pretty good but the albums just sound nothing like Quiet Riot. Even if it doesn’t sound like QR like QR88 didn’t, but that was a good album despite that. This new stuff and road rage sound cheap and lazy and I was rooting for them.
@@BlackTerror -; Good post. I agree 💯%. A lot of it has to do with Frankie writing with Neil Citron. I believe his guitar sound and playing sucks or at best out of place for the Quiet Riot sound. Throw it in with a new singer and it doesn't work.
@@antimurphy8212 My biggest problem with it overall is how cheap the production sound is. You can't even take it seriously. I know it was probably recorded on a budget but that is no excuse. Overdub them guitars and make it sound big which is free to do if your recording on a computer! Hide a little keyboard in the background like Cum on Feel The Noize. Gang Vocals on chorus! Anything to make it sound like QR!
Neil Citron- Frankie's "songwriting partner" ruined the fucking QR sound. He sucks on lead guitar and has no concept on how to write a metal riff. Why isn't Alex Grossi contributing? Head scratcher for sure. Get Cavazo back to at least write new songs. He always wrote killer riffs!! 🤘
@@BlackTerror -- Agree totally! Frankie's networth last I looked was 10 million dollars. He doesn't need to be on a small budget for recording.
I own both albums with Rohdes.
I’ll ask you then… would you consider Quiet Riot from Metal Health on as a new band reusing an old name or a continuation of the Randy Rhodes years? I consider them two different bands do to the nucleus of Carlos and Frankie.
@@BlackTerror two different era's that's for sure but , as far as a New band , No.
There are many bands that changed members due to untimely death. , jail time or opposing ideals of what should be.
Just think about if say...Rush changed their name after hiring Peart or Metallica after mcgovney was replaced by Cliff or when Newstead was brought in after cliff's death , and Kirk replaced Mustaine after he was fired.
@@GlamprinceRockking I get it what your saying. I always viewed QR from Metal Health on as a separate project but its a flawed view because of all the lineup changes that followed after carlos and rudy left after the reunion. It would circle back around to Rehab not being a real Quiet Riot album which I do consider it to be.
You can call him jizzy for short😂😂😂😂🇺🇸
