Fans surfing to the band's website, quietriotforce.com, were undoubtedly crushed to find the following message: "Thank you for 20 years of rock and roll. Goodbye, Quiet Riot." Quiet Riot was formed in 1975 by lead singer Kevin DuBrow and future guitar legend Randy Rhoads. That band broke up after two albums that were issued only in Japan, but DuBrow put together a new version and released Metal Health in 1983. The record spawned a smash cover of Slade's "Come On Feel The Noize" and was the first metal album to hit No 1 on the USA albums chart. Their last release was 2001's appropriately-named Guilty Pleasures.
