Come on Feel the Noize


"Come on Feel the Noize" is Quiet Riot's hard rock cover of the 1973 Slade classic, originally written by Noddy Holder and Jim Lea. Quiet Riot's version became a defining moment in early 1980s heavy metal and introduced the song to a new generation of rock fans. For electric guitar players, it is a rewarding study in driving power chords, punchy rhythm work, and the straightforward but effective riffing style that shaped arena rock.

  • The original was written by Slade's Noddy Holder and Jim Lea and hit No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1973.
  • Quiet Riot's recording helped bring glam-influenced heavy metal to mainstream American audiences.
  • The song's rhythm guitar relies heavily on power chords, making it accessible yet impactful for beginner and intermediate players.

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.
