Metal Sludge — 80’s rock and heavy metal heroes Quiet Riot announce a string of 2022 tour dates to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the recording of their debut album “Metal Health.“
Quiet Riot remain busy with their classic era bassist Rudy Sarzo, lead guitarist and 18 year veteran of the group Alex Grossi, lead vocalist Jizzy Pearl (Love/Hate) and Banali’s hand-picked replacement Johnny Kelly (Type O’ Negative).
