AllMusic (dot) com adds. . .
The second of Quiet Riot's virtually forgotten late-'70s albums for CBS Japan,
the appropriately named Quiet Riot II would also be their last with founding
guitarist Randy Rhoads. Released at the height of disco mania and very hard to
find in America (the band's own L.A. fan base had to buy it on import at the
time -- bummer), it was certainly a much more confident effort than their
amateurish debut of a year before, but it still paled in comparison to the
future sonic and commercial achievements of the mid-'80s QR, and especially
Rhoads' work with Ozzy Osbourne. Ironically, QRII's explosive first track is
none other than "Slick Black Cadillac," the only track from this period worthy
of resurrection for their breakthrough Metal Health album five years later. The
remainder of the album reveals the group as a work in progress, and is peppered
with occasional bright spots, including the '70s glam rock of "Eye for an Eye,"
the competent ballad "Afterglow (Of Your Love)," and the especially well-formed
"Trouble." Most interesting of all, however, these tracks show singer Kevin
DuBrow and Rhoads truly coming into their own. The first displays growing
confidence to go with his already potent pair of lungs, and the second is
already developing his idiosyncratic six-string style with the first touches of
the classically inflected virtuosity which would make him a legend two years
later. Still, this album is a relic for devout musical archaeologists only.
The OBI says. . .
40 years after his death, eternal guitar hero Randy Rhoads was a member of the
American heavy metal band "QUIET RIOT", famous for its membership before
joining the Ozzy Osbourne band, in Japan at the time. The 2nd album "There's No
Tomorrow for Riots" released in 1979, which was only released as an LP, has
been remastered and added bonus tracks, and has finally been made into an
official Japanese paper jacket CD! Of course, the smash hit "Slick Black
Cadillac" is included. This album also includes the 1969 hit "Afterglow (Of
Your Love)" written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane after SMALL FACES
disbanded. There are many misunderstandings because the jacket shows Rudy
Sarzo, who participated in the tour after the album's production, but the
bassist who participated in the recording of the album is Kelly Garni, the same
as the 1st. This CD includes two songs that were not included on the album, in
which Randy played bass when the bassist was absent after Kelly left, and a
live performance after Rudy joined (October 26, 1979, Los Angeles, "The
Starwood") Contains bonus songs such as unrecorded songs including Randy's
guitar solo! Randy's play here is as expected from Ozzy, and he goes wild. A
satisfying reissue with a total of 13 songs! Includes liner Part.2 (interview
composition, Ginger Suzuki) featuring an interview with Kelly Garni, the
original bassist and now a valuable witness to history. Includes lyrics and
translation.AllMusic (dot) com adds. . .
