Tuesday Metal Mania – Quiet Riot “Bang Your Head (Metal Health)”

Remember when MTV stood for Music Television? They actually showed videos all day. Of course, the negative side to this is they also ushered in an age of music where it mattered more about how you looked than how you sounded, but for the sake of this article, that’s a moot point.

"Bang Your Head (Metal Health)", is a song by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot on their breakthrough album of the same name. The song is one of their best known hits and received heavy MTV music video and radio play. "Metal Health" was the band's second Top 40 hit.

The song talks about the headbanging subculture. Because of this, the song caught the attention of many heavy metal fans upon its release. The single contained both the studio-recorded version and a live version, which was later released on their Greatest Hits compilation.

The music video was produced for $19,000 and was filmed in the Walt Disney Modular Theater and hallways of the California Institute of the Arts, employing students as extras.
