Clean Cut Painting & Handyman Services is honored to welcome the legendary 'QUIET RIOT', celebrating over 40 years of "Metal Health", on Monday December 29th, 2025, with special guests: 'Big Guns'QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop
chart at #1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their
monster 1983 smash album “Metal Health”.
QUIET RIOT first signed a record deal with Pasha records in the dawn of the 80’s at a time when radio was
dominated by the “new wave” sound. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed “out” by record labels so
the debut album “Metal Health” was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the
rendition of the old Slade chestnut "Cum on Feel the Noize,” and their original song “Metal Health” (Bang your
head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times
over in the process. Against all odds it jumped over Michael Jackson’s “Thriller and “Synchronicity” by The
Police to land in the number one slot on the Billboard album chart.
This opened the door for the other Sunset Strip “Hair Metal” bands to get their record deals and kicked off the
craze that dominated MTV and radio in the 80’s.
The sales of the “Metal Health” album have now well exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide. Quiet Riot went
on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo, Alex
Grossi, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly.
