Quiet Riot is an American heavy metal band, best known for their hit singles "Metal Health" and "Cum On Feel the Noize". The band was founded in 1973 by guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Kelly Garni under the original name Mach 1, before changing the name to Little Women and finally Quiet Riot in May 1975. The band's name was inspired by a conversation with Rick Parfitt of the British band Status Quo, in which Parfitt said he'd like to name a band "Quite Right",[1] and his thick English accent made it sound like he was saying "Quiet Riot".[2] The band is ranked at No. 100 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock".
