Review

The musical phenomenon that gave birth to the 80s metal revolution, Quiet Riot are more than just a footnote in the chronicles of modern rock. One of the first metal bands to have a charting single, with the unforgettable cover of Slade s Cum On Feel The Noize, as well as the first ever metal band to achieve a #1 record, Metal Health, Kevin DuBrow and Co. slogged a long and hard road to the top of their field. The music was undeniably catchy, melodic and in-yer-face aggressive and though the band s studio albums met with tremendous success, the awesome power of Quiet Riot has always been best displayed on stage. This phenomenal collection of live gems from the 80s, when the band was at their peak of success, includes performances of songs from the group s first two albums as well as Gonna Have A Riot, a holdover from the days when the late, great Randy Rhodes was in the band. In addition, there are three demo recordings from 1981 that clearly prophesy the superstardom that awaited these metal legends. Crank this album to 11 and bang your head! --Cleopatra Records

4.0 out of 5 stars A Great American Hard Rock Band, January 31, 2005

It was great hearing Lets Get Crazy, Run For Cover and especially Gonna Have A Riot live from back in '83/'84. The demo's were pretty good as well. I gave this release four stars instead of five because each track has a stop gap of one second in between them and since most of the tracks are live, it sounds like a bootleg splice/chop job in between tracks. My understanding is that the band has already acknowledged this as a mistake on the labels behalf and future pressings of the cd will not have the annoying stop gaps between tracks.

This live album is good. It's entertaining and is excellent to bang your head to (no pun intended). The only problem is the few seconds at the end of each song. The music just stops. It dosen't flow. Very good otherwise.

3.0 out of 5 stars live and rare!, December 12, 2007

Quiet Riot's Live and Rare Volume 1 is full of good music, live stuff from the Condition Critical tour as well as three demos. The sound quality of the live material leaves a lot to be desired, like another reviewer stated it sounds about like a bootleg. The three demos are of good sound quality. If you're looking for some live Quiet Riot go with the Extended Versions cd.
