Except they didn’t get rich because it was a cover. Slade made a LOT of money on Quiet Riot playing that song, which was forced on them by management, and released as the lead off single against their protest. QR, not so much.

I am not an expert on music royalties or residuals, but "Come on Feel the Noise" is Quiet Riot's biggest hit, they should perform it in concert, despite their bitter feelings.
