RATT - Lay It Down (live 1997) Chicago

[higherpower321]

I think Ratt held up pretty good in 97..That somehow that sound was not sucked in with the 80's "has been" genre. I like it, good showing.

surprised steve still has a voice with all the crack he's huffed

[21PRIMEMOVER12]

WOW!!! THAT’S BRUTAL!!!!

[PurpleHat1991]

why is everyone complaining about his voice? it doesnt sound bad to me here . . . same rough ratt vocals as usual. sure he sounded sharper in the 80s but he still sounds awesome here to me

[NightFly216]

Pearcy's voice sounds like shit! I'm kinda happy I saw them w/ Jizzy Pearl instead of Pearcy yrs. back. He could seriously convey the sound the way it should be remembered.

[AttilaThe1]

didn't these guys ever practice since the 80's? Sounds like fuck

[rushnut2112]

Pretty damn rough live. Makes me think the studio version must've had tons of takes. Ouch.

[Rattmaster86]

@rushnut2112 buythis time stephen's voice was shot, it was much better in the 80's...Watch tokyo 1989 for a better performance. not only that they only have 1 guitar here when there should be 2, so the sound is weak.

@rushnut2112 its the sound guy/mix... it sounds like shit. the band doesnt sound that bad, the mix is off. REALLY off. plenty of bands only have one guitarist live and overdub in studio (van halen for example) and still sound pretty amazing. i think it was just this particular video. ;)

[GarySchutt]

@rushnut2112 the studio version was super produced, like most of the RATT albums, amazing studio production. most band of the 80s couldnt live up the the record sound live.

[ItalianWarrior777]

Ratt is the best!

[sh4rkbyt3]

OMG Pearcy looks like he's 80 yrs old lol. And sounds even worse.

[FEVER55555]

can't sing sound like he on the pot straining to go #2

[triclone123]

The live sound engineer of those guys is not helping the vocals at all. Pretty bad setting. It's killing the singer and it's not the first time. Juan also used to be an incredible background singer, he is deeply missed so you can add an extra voice to fill up and make it bigger. Sound man... come and hang out with me, I will show you some stuff and you tell me what you think and if it makes sense...

[sparkles67]

@triclone123 fucking brutal mix, no bass, all kick drum, just terrible.

[Rattmaster86]

@sparkles67 if you have a good sound system you can turn up the bass and it sounds better.

[robkosinski]

@sparkles67 Sounds like a board mix. If whatever is the loudest on stage will the be the quietest here.

[thrashmetalowns666]

steven pearcy sounds brilliant here, considering thats a bad period for him =/

[PatVanHalen5150]

Steven's voice was completely shot from the time they reformed the band in 1996 until he quit again 4 years later.

But man, he's back to his gravelly self on the new album & it sounds great.

[BMHollow2134]

Is it even them??? Where is Juan croucier?

[metalheadneji]

@BMHollow2134 they need Juan back he's one of the most grooviest bassist.

[thepaddywagonishere]

@metalheadneji Juan is it! He along with Robbin made Ratt! Their grooves couldn't be beat!

[krisaf778]

i love the beginning riff in this song!!! this is the best song by Ratt!!!

[segawttnl]

Can't wait for RATT's New Album in April 2010

[merishane]

not as good as they were back in the day bro !!! csc/10

[oilcan00]

It's cool....but who the fuck was directing this???No shot of Warren on solo??WTF?

[Rattmaster86]

I think the on stage cameraman was just hanging around the bassist side for most of the show.

[civilengsi]

@oilcan00 Yeah, no shit. Booooooooooooooooooooo!

[segawttnl]

Ratt 'N Roll THANKS RATTMASTER86
