In 1983, Quiet Riot became the first metal band to top the U.S. album chart — and just three years later, they watched their sales fall right off a cliff.
When denied a chance to play football with some neighborhood kids, the scrawny, young lad in the Hyundai commercial that debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday hops into his mom's Santa Fe, and cranks the volume of a great classic rock song. Quiet Riot's 'Bang Your Head (Metal Health)' from 1983 is the soundtrack to this 30-second spot.
Randy Rhoads: The Quiet Riot Years -- the first documentary film to be released on the late guitarist -- will have its premiere screening on December 12th at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
