In the 1970s, Quiet Riot developed a friendly but intense rivalry with Van Halen before either act had signed a record deal. While Van Halen signed to Warner Bros. in 1977 and released a debut album that would achieve Gold certification , Quiet Riot’s contract with Sony would see their first two albums released only in Japan, albums that to this day have never been released in the US. The band recorded their debut album Quiet Riot , or QR I , in 1977.
