About Metal Health (Bang Your Head)

“Metal Health” is Quiet Riot’s second-biggest hit, reaching #32 in early 1984 – three months after their top 5 cover of Slade’s “Cum On Feel the Noize” peaked. It was also a minor hit in Canada. Musically, the band took inspiration from AC/DC in writing this song. Its title is a play on the phrase “Mental Health,” and is a celebration of the rebellious nature of heavy metal and fans who bang their heads to the music. Lead singer Kevin DuBrow wrote the lyrics based on the slights he heard throughout his life. .
