One of the best heavy metal songs, sang by Kevin DuBrow with Quiet Riot
Way back when
When I was listening to "Cum on feel the noize", CD's didn't exist for normal folks like me.
At that time the only song I knew from Quiet Riot was Cum on Feel the Noize. I was lucky enough to recorded the song off the radio. And I listened to that tape over and over and over... I was keep thinking "How can a human being come up with this kind of great music? I mean, how is it possible???"
To this date, I think Cum on Feel the Noize is one of the greatest Rock (metal) songs ever.
That was about 25 years ago or so. There are a lot more 80's rock bands alive then dead. Some are still performing. I try to enjoy them and appreciate their music as they fade away one by one.
God bless Kevin.
