Cum On Feel The Noize


"Cum On Feel The Noize" is a hard rock anthem recorded by Quiet Riot, originally written and performed by British glam rock band Slade in 1973. Quiet Riot's version brought the song to a new generation of rock fans and became one of the defining tracks of early 1980s heavy metal radio. For electric guitarists, it is a rewarding study in straightforward power chord-driven rhythm playing, crunchy riffs, and the kind of high-energy feel that made arena rock so enduring.

  • The song was originally written by Slade's Noddy Holder and Jim Lea, then produced by former Jimi Hendrix manager Chas Chandler.
  • Slade's original 1973 version reached No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart and stayed in the charts for twelve weeks.
  • The track runs just under five minutes, giving guitarists plenty of time to lock into its driving, riff-based groove.

Cavazo deployed the Les Paul's thick mahogany body for fatter, more compressed rhythm tones, especially in later Quiet Riot years. The guitar's natural warmth complemented his Marshall's high-gain saturation while keeping palm-muted chugs aggressive and defined.

The Les Paul Custom provided Cavazo with an alternative to his Jackson superstrats, delivering the same compressed midrange and sustain needed for Quiet Riot's metal crunch. Its heavier construction added body to power chords while maintaining clarity through the Marshall's scooped-mid voicing.

The JCM800 was the sonic foundation of Quiet Riot, with Cavazo pushing it hard for natural tube saturation that defined '80s metal rhythm and lead tones. His gain-heavy settings achieved singing sustain on solos while preserving definition in palm-muted power chords.

Cavazo's signature Cry Baby wah added a vocal, sweeping character to his pentatonic soloing, becoming a defining element of Quiet Riot's flashy lead sound. The pedal's responsiveness enhanced his blues-based phrasing within the band's heavy metal framework.
