quiet riot

A metal band from the 80s. Call them hair if you like, but unlike Twisted Sister they never dressed in drag. Mostly died with the downfall of the hair metal scene, but they're a band that are still on the headbanger's radar. Or they were, until Kevin DuBrow checked out on a cocaine overdose in his Las Vegas house in 2007.

Known mainly for their mega-hit "Cum On Feel The Noize" and their #1 album 'Metal Health', Quiet Riot were much like Dokken - one of the most underrated bands out there. Kevin DuBrow's great vocals helped but his songwriting didn't; however Frankie Banali was one of the best drummers on the LA scene back then. Rudy Sarzo was a good bassist and Carlos Cavazo was also a great guitarist.

Headbangers and metalheads worldwide will however know them for songs like 'Metal Health' - the number one headbanger anthem - 'Slick Black Cadillac', 'Mama Weer All Crazee Now', 'Love's A Bitch' as well as 'Cum On Feel The Noize'. One less well known song was 'Danger Zone' which could shake a house down but didn't make it past the demo stage.

Their biggest achievement was Metal Health; not only did it hit number 1 in 1983 but it also made its mark as the first ever metal album to do so.

I'm a fan of Quiet Riot.
Quiet Riot were responsible for the classic headbanger's anthem - Metal Health.

I got the boys
To make the noise
Won't ever let up, hope it annoys you!
Join the pack
Fill the crack
Well now you're here, there's no way back!

Bang your head!!
Metal health'll drive you mad
Bang your head!!
Metal health'll drive you mad

Quiet-scream-syndrome

A social inability to express anger, that is believed to have originated within the central coast of NSW, Australia. The sufferer is unable to express their anger properly and therefore instead of just yelling or raising their voice like the rest of us, they screw their face up, open their mouth and angrily whisper what it is that's pissing them off.
Karli is an avid sufferer of quiet-scream-syndrome due to her inability to express her anger.

Quiet

Keeping things chilled and lowkey.
After a day at work, I like to get together with my boys and take a quiet wash.

Quiet Cartemplation

The anticipation of getting onto a Subway, Metro or El car that is free of loud, foul-mouthed smelly-armed teens, perky little just out of college, fresh into the work-force kids who use like after every word and cell phone users, i.e. Bluetool or cell phone fuck, talking about nothing adults want to hear after a hard day of work.
Quiet cartemplation is non-existant in D.C. on Fridays after 4:00PM.

Get out your iPod as there will be no quiet cartemplation today.

In a moment of quiet cartemplation, I got caught in some ghetto chick's cell loop.

Can you please, "like", shut the PHUCK up? I don't want to hear your mouth, I'm looking for a little quiet cartemplation here!

The perfect action to promote quiet cartemplation: cell phone bitch slap.
