Down to the Bone is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Quiet Riot, released by Kamikaze in 1995.

Sobol stated "In the mid-nineties Kevin and I started a record label specifically to release the Quiet Riot album "Down To The Bone".

As far as the music, the style on the album was essentially Quiet Riot, but we chose to include a song written by another artist called "Pretty Pack 'O Lies".

It was a good song, but I guess the time was passed for Quiet Riot, and only hardcore fans bought the album.

The artwork was later reproduced as posters, T-shirts, stickers, backstage passes, tour backdrops and sold as a limited edition print.

"[2] In the Billboard Magazine issue dated March 4, 1995, an article featuring a short interview with DuBrow stated that after MTV had made it clear that they didn't want to play clips of bands like Quiet Riot, the band reeled a remake of the Kinks' classic "All Day and All of the Night" for distribution via computer online services.

"Slam Dunk", written by DuBrow and Perris, was originally recorded in 1991 by Pretty Boy Floyd for the movie Switch.

[6] Additionally a newly recorded Quiet Riot version of "Slam Dunk" would later appear on the band's following 1999 studio album Alive and Well.

[7] Barry Weber of AllMusic stated "Although not quite as disappointing as the 1993 release Terrified, Down to the Bone once again fails to capture the listener's interest.

While it has an acceptable remake of the Kinks classic "All Day and All of the Night" and a catchy acoustic title track, the albums still lacks composition and songwriting.

The reviewer Scott Iwasaki says "Guitarist Carlos Cavazo can do much better than the old Slade rehashes "Cum on Feel the Noize" and "Mama We're All Crazee Now."

Then, trying to capitalize on the melodic metal of earlier hits, Quiet Riot rips itself off with "Twisted" and "Hell or High Water."
