Veteran rockers QUIET RIOT will release their new studio album, "Hollywood Cowboys", on November 8 via Frontiers Music Srl.
“The Randy Rhoads Years” is a compilation album from Quiet Riot that features songs from Randy Rhoads’ time with the band in the late 1970s. It features previously unreleased material and some remixed songs from Quiet Riot’s first two albums which were released only in Japan. These two albums, Quiet Riot and Quiet Riot II, have yet to see any sort of release outside of Japan due to the wishes of the Rhoads family.
QR (also known as Quiet Riot, Quiet Riot IV, or QR IV ) is the sixth studio album released in 1988 by the American heavy metal band Quiet Riot. The album featured a major line-up change. Singer and founding member Kevin Dubrow had been fired before the recording sessions began, and replaced by Rough Cutt vocalist Paul Shortino. Paul Shortino’s singing style was a radical departure from the metal screams of Dubrow. This album is less keyboard centric, and more of a guitar rock album.

All 14 tracks (15 is a CD-ROM cut) are culled from the group's three biggest albums – Metal Health (1983), Condition Critical (1984), and QR III (1986) – and while many listeners may only know the group's breakout hit, a cover of Slade's "Cum on Feel the Noize," the band consistently turned out its own quality pop-metal during its mid-'80s heydays.
Quiet Riot s performance at Frontiers Rock festival 2018 marked the band's first-ever concert in Italy and what a hell of a show it was! With the entire club shouting and singing and calling back the band on stage at the end of the show, Quiet Riot literally took no prisoners, offering the crowd a superb selection of their greatest hits plus a very special surprise in Thunderbird, a song from the multi platinum album Metal Health that the band never performed on stage in its entire history…
