BANG YOUR HEAD!!!
Today's Metal Track is Metal Health by Quiet Riot. This is the title track off of the band's break through 1983 album Metal Health. This was the first ever heavy metal album to reach the number 1 spot on the Billboard Charts. While the song title is officially Metal Health it has been listed numerous way throughout the years including Bang Your Head (Metal Health), Metal Health (Bang Your Head), and simply Bang Your Head.
Sadly in 2007 lead singer Kevin DuBrow died from a drug overdose. Last night I watched a documentary on Showtime titled Quiet Riot:
Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back and it inspired me to post this song today. The documentary focused on the band's struggle to return after Kevin's passing.
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
