QUIET RIOT IN CONCERT:
Quiet Riot holds the distinct honor of being the first metal band to top the Billboard 200, a feat they accomplished back in 1983 with their seminal breakthrough album Metal Health. Since then, they've lived up to their name, enjoying one of the longest-running careers in the genre and continuing to sell out shows with their hair-raising onstage energy. With the recently anointed Jizzy Pearl on vocals and a new album due out in 2014, Quiet Riot will be bringing the thunder on their upcoming tour dates.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Formed in 1973 by legendary metal guitarist Randy Rhoads, Quiet Riot built a huge regional following in their hometown of Los Angeles in the mid-‘70s. Rhoads' departure in 1979 to join Ozzy Osbourne's band effectively ended the group, but following his death in a plane crash in 1982, the members returned to the studio to pay tribute to the late guitarist. The result was their 1983 American debut full-length Metal Health, the first metal album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 thanks to hit singles "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Bang Your Head (Metal Health)." As pioneers of metal's popularity in the mainstream, the band has spent the last three decades recording and touring, earning a reputation for their tireless dedication and riotous live shows.
Wow! What a show... they played almost the entire Metal Health album...as well as their other songs. FRANKIE, ALEX, and CHUCK, are great guys, and could not have been more gracious with their time. The 'new guy' does a phenomenal job on lead vocals. Some might say this is just another 'tribute band' but that's incorrect. .. these guys are doing it for Real. See their documentary and then go see them LIVE!
Great Show !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were awesome! Excellent music from a great group of guys.
I drove four hours to get to the Quiet Riot show and I was not disappointed--it was spectacular! From start to finish the music was awesome, the energy was non-stop and they totally rocked. The best show I've seen in years!
Had a very good time. was a fun show to watch. They rocked on despite their ages. seemed to be a shorter show than normal and there was no encore to get them back on stage once they stopped playing, but it was all good! The venue was not full .
This was an awesome show!! Jizzy Pearl is a perfect lead vocalist for the band. My husband and I had a blast!
Excellent show. All still have what it takes to put on a great performance. Outstanding venue to see a show. Liked being able to walk around, stay on floor near band, or stay at bar. Never used my seat but even they were great for the price as size of theater perfect. Also best restrooms I have seen at a concert in a long time.
GREAT!!!!!!! one of the better shows i have seen at Hamption. good job.
Quiet Riot was amazing. This was the first time I've seen them.live and I was blown away by how good they were. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen at Hampton Beach.
QR, BB, and GC sounded great and had great energy, and FP was awful. Zero promotion caused low turnout, but the bands made the best of an awkward situation. The three great bands played with the same energy and enthusiasm as they would if they were playing in front of a full stadium. They were clearly having fun dedicating songs to each other, going on stage during other bands sets to sing back up, walking around in the crowd between sets, and watching each other play in the audience. They shared drinks with each other and with members of the crowd. The bands music was basically spot on, but GC needs a singer but listening to him trying to sing was just fun.. The new QR singer was pretty good. He is no Kevin Dubrow, but he did a respectable job. A band member from one of the opening acts actually walked over and had a conversation with me, at the end of the show, and I wasn't even sure which band he was with. It was a unique experience. It was fun to watch bands giving their best efforts and having fun with each other.
The sound system was very bad and quiet riot was the worst bad of the night. They need to check their sound system.
I was very impressed with the show! I thought the music was great, and the artists were very personable and tuned in to the audience. They really kept us excited and involved in their music.
Awesome, Awesome show. Not only did QR rock the house, the other bands were phenomenal too. Bullet Boys and Faster Pussycat were Awesome. More shows with these guys please.
It was fun, several times members from various bands were in the audience next to the stage partying right along with us.
LOVED QUIET RIOT NOT A BIG FAN OF BULLET BOYS OR FASTER PUSSYCAT GILBY CLARK WAS GOOD
Rock is not dead!! It was great seeing all those groups together!!!
The venue was awesome and right off the interstate too. The sound was awesome in there! All the bands sounded tight .
Faster Pussycat was the worst concert band I have ever seen (and we have seen A LOT). The lead singer especially. Gilby Clarke was the best of all 4 bands. Bullet Boys we decent along with Quiet Riot but I would not go see them again. Gilby Clarke was by far the best of the four bands.
We traveled from Arkansas to see the show and were disappointed that the bands time were cut so short that Gilby Clarke, Bullet Boys and Faster Pussycat could only do 5 songs each! The venue should have given each band more time.
The event was well worth the drive... Each band played great and had great interaction with the crowd.. The center was great for sound and we enjoyed the full show...
