Metal Health cover

Metal Health

Released

Kevin Dubrow ain’t much to look at, and neither are any of the other post-Randy Rhoads members of this Billboard breakthrough band, but you’d be crazee not to feel the noize. Actually, the Slade cover may be one of the weakest tracks here. “Metal Health” really will make you bang your head against the padded walls, “Slick Black Cadillac” puts the pedal to the metal, and “Run for Cover” doesn’t provide anywhere to hide. Not sure what magic touch made them top the charts before the other hair-banders but these experienced pros make a solid case for the pole position here.
