QR III (or Quiet Riot III) is the fifth studio album released by American Hard rock/heavy metal band Quiet Riot.

It marked one of Quiet Riot's final plunges from stardom as only one more of the band's following releases would enter the charts at all.

Its accompanying video (featuring game show host Wink Martindale in a cameo appearance) painted an Orwellian picture of the future, where totalitarian militarists fought to wipe out rock and roll—a reference to the Senate hearings concerning explicit language in metal songs.

[4] Another video for the promotional single[5] Twilight Hotel only managed to get light rotation.
