'''Quiet Riot''' is an American [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band founded in [[Los Angeles]] in 1973 by guitarist [[Randy Rhoads]], bassist Kelly Garni, and vocalist [[Kevin DuBrow]].<ref>{{cite book |last=Garni |first=Kelly |title=Angels with Dirty Faces|year=2013 |publisher=Shamrock Publishing |isbn=978-1481194150|edition=Second}}</ref>

The original lineup featured Rhoads and Garni with lead vocalist [[Kevin DuBrow]] and drummer Drew Forsyth, though that version of the band was mired in turmoil that would eventually see Garni fired for making death threats towards DuBrow.<ref name="ucr2019">{{cite web |title=Quiet Riot's Kelly Garni Said He Once Tried to Kill Kevin DuBrow |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/kelly-garni-kevin-dubrow-quiet-riot/|publisher=ultimateclassicrock.com |access-date= May 31, 2019}}</ref> Their most commercially successful lineup consisted of DuBrow alongside guitarist [[Carlos Cavazo]], bassist [[Rudy Sarzo]] and drummer [[Frankie Banali]], and in 1983 released their breakthrough album ''[[Metal Health]]'', which is known for being the first heavy metal album to top the ''Billboard'' album chart. The band had several hit singles which charted on the [[Billboard Hot 100]], including "[[Cum On Feel the Noize]]", "[[Mama Weer All Crazee Now]]" (both cover songs of the [[glam rock]] band [[Slade]]), and "[[Metal Health (song)|Metal Health (Bang Your Head)]]". The band is ranked at No.&nbsp;100 on [[VH1]]'s 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.<ref name="vh1">{{cite web |title=VH1: '100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists': 51-100 |url=http://www.rockonthenet.com/archive/2000/vh1hardrock1.htm|work= Rock On The Net |access-date= September 28, 2015}}</ref>

Despite several lineup changes and brief breakups, Quiet Riot continued to record and tour until DuBrow's death from a [[cocaine]] overdose in 2007.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/quiet_riot_singer_died_of_overdose.html |title=Quiet Riot singer died of overdose |publisher=Ultimate Guitar via Yahoo!

The band has continued to record and tour following DuBrow's death. In 2014, they released their first album in eight years, titled ''[[Quiet Riot 10]]'', which was followed by ''[[Road Rage (Quiet Riot album)|Road Rage]]'' in 2017<ref name="Road Rage">{{cite web |url=http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/quiet-riot-to-re-record-road-rage-album-with-new-singer-james-durbin/ |title=Quiet Riot to rerecord Road Rage album with new singer James Durbin|publisher=blabbermouth.net |date=March 10, 2017 |access-date=March 12, 2017}}</ref> and ''[[Hollywood Cowboys]]'' in 2019.
