Enough so that I actually went out and spent some money on iTunes picking up a chunk of early 80%27s hair rock to pack into the new iPod Nano%3B business trip to Minneapolis next week%2C needed a working player to avoid talking to the boss in the van for 9 1%2F2 hours. %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0AI did not realize until I went to grab Cum On Feel the Noise that Quiet Riot had indeed covered the song.  Lo and behold%2C one of my favorite glam rock bands had it first.  I give you %5Blink%3Awww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D68db9iial_U%7CSlade%5D.  If you are an 80%27s child like me%2C you probably better remember them for their trippy %5Blink%3Awww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DbHoPYLQvnQM%7Crenfest%5D song.%0D%0A%0D%0AI will now apologize for flashbacks I just triggered.%0D%0A%0D%0ABrian%0D%0A

And I seem to recall their lead singer haaaated having to cover it from Day 1%2C which naturally meant it%27s the song they%27re most famous for and have had to keep playing on the %22state fairs and nostalgia festivals%22 tour well into their dotage%2C as is the standard curse of all hair-metal bands who don%27t die young. %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%28The title%27s a dead giveaway that it%27s originally a Slade song%2C though.  I mean%2C this is the same band that gave us %22Mama Weer All Crazee Now%22 and %22Coz I Luv You%22.%29%0D%0A%0D%0ATrivia%3A The Overseer track that%27s the first fight scene song in %5Bi%5DAn Avatar in New Avalon%5B%2Fi%5D is called %22Slayed%22 because the chorus is a sample from Slade%27s %22We%27ll Bring the House Down%22 %28which%2C weirdly%2C is not spelled %22Weel Bring the Howse Down%22%29.  %0D%0A%0D%0A--G.%0D%0A-%3E%3C-%0D%0ABenjamin D.

Quiet Riot was my first indoor arena show when I was 13.  My then soon-to-be sister-in-law took me with her and her high school friends to Des Moines for the show.  Which did not go over with my parents very well%2C as we %27forgot%27 to tell them I was going.%0D%0A%0D%0AOh well%2C it was a good show. %3A%29%0D%0A%0D%0ABrian%0D%0A
