[VitalSigns1]

I'm a metalhead and I like a lot of Ratt's more raw, harsh sounding songs, but what's with all the poppy stuff about love and pussy shit like that? The best stuff they have are the more unheard of underground B tracks, like all glam metal bands.

[indegruv]

@VitalSigns1 love and pussy are inspiring things to some people. Every band during that time and place was singing about similar shit. The scene thrived because of it, as it brought in new fans of "metal" sound (hot girls) and worldwide appeal. Stop being a homo trying to be profound on the internet, and failing. If you don't like the music, go listen to something more "manly" for you. If you can't understand historical context either, stop trying to interpret history. Ratt N Roll

[VitalSigns1]

@indegruv You're a fucking faggot

[indegruv]

@VitalSigns1 oooo that's a good one. Why don't you go watch some more documentaries about things you don't like, so that you can properly enjoy your shitty life ;)

[VitalSigns1]

@indegruv Just shut up moron

[indegruv]

@VitalSigns1 I feel sorry for your mother. 

[VitalSigns1]

Ratt n Roll

[MrYngwie88]

ratt is the best glam band ever just my opnion

[1971ROXX]

RATT RULES!

[rattmamma]

I'd bet money Justien Beiber doesn't get the girls, the cars or the Money or staying power of RATT!

[Gearstothewall513]

this shit is fucking gay, a bunch of lame hair metal bands. justin bieber is amazing and none of these shitty bands will ever be what he is. as far as im concerned never say never is better then this wack ass song. don't hate!

[C0NTR4l34ND]

@Gearstothewall513 and that, my friends, is how to troll. +1

[Gearstothewall513]

im just admitting whats fact. this ratt shit sucks! anybody that would take them over justin bieber is fucking stupid

[24SweetThing]

@Gearstothewall513 Thats hilarious. Im sure u were kidding. If not, u have shit for taste. If u dont like RATT, why r u here? Go back to ur boy Bieber, and let ppl with good taste, as in loving RATT, leave positive comments. Your not wanted here, nor do RATT fans care what u think.

[turoniner]

@Gearstothewall513 Yeah nice work, that's some solid trolling. 

[indegruv]

@Gearstothewall513 DURR! Mommy didn't love me enough.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

"Mrs. Pearcy of the day!!!" That's awesome!!!

[padawan007]

you know guys im 80's hair metal, glam, classic aor , hard rock fan, and im still try to understand what was just happen back then in musical life, why was music was soo soo unique back than? 70 and 80's were soo sooo different, and music was full with awsome guitar techniques, vocals and many many more things, why today music suck huge balls??? or just media dont want to stream bands and good music???

[steveissosteve]

@thewhiteknightful That soundtrack is hard to find it also has a song by one of the Wilson sisters of Heart Ann I think. Best man in the world

[halfordsss]

man if we`re talking about the LA music scene, it was MOTLEY CRUE that started everything - the music , the looks, the attitude, the mayhem, etc, etc. All sleazy bands that came after them were just cheap followers and tried to copy exactly everything that Motley first invented.

[fortheloveoftunes]

They should focus more on the music instead of all da party-shit .-)

[lalbruiz]

Damn, I had that EP, an original one, and it was great, had to sell it and nowadays you can get one on Ebay for 40 or 50 dollars....I wish I didn´t had to sell it, because it kicked ass.

[MrYngwie88]

you think youre tough jehh

[oldgunsgoodguns]

well... elvis, john wayne, motley, guns, ratt etc. whatever kind of real 'band' at the time... they recreated and kept the true spirit of  rock n roll alive back then...

god bless all of 'em ! ! ! great times... cheerzzz

[steveissosteve]

Theater of Pain was huge to With the songs Home Sweet Home and the Brownsville station cover Smokin' in the boys room!!!

[steveissosteve]

Shout at the devil Put Motley Crue on the Map not Girls Girls Girls Dude!

[phrydoom]

@steveissosteve I agree, but in terms of touring, I think the "Girls" tour would of grossed more. I could be wrong though.

[steveissosteve]

@phrydoom Theater of Pain was a hugealbum to with the songs Home Sweet Home and their Brownsville Station cover of Smokin' inThe Boys Room!!!

[hardluckboogie]

@phrydoom in my opinion Theater was the tour for the Crue (In my opinion)

[NUChurch6]

@phrydoom The Dr. Feelgood album and tour trumped everything as their most successful endeavor. Check out "The Dirt" great read.

[mbm13213]

@steveissosteve

No shit man.

Motley's first couple of offers were fucking spectacular but 'G'GGs' was nothing more than stripper music wearing metal panties.

[sniper16]

@steveissosteve really there first album was too fast for love in 1981

[Onepersonsopinion]

Also, what song is at 2:41?

[Onepersonsopinion]

What songs are being played at 0:27, 1:29 and 1:56? They all sound different so I'm guessing they're 3 different songs. Thanks.

[MrYngwie88]

out at the cellar is a fuckin masterpiece !

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@MrYngwie88 That album and "Slide It In" are pretty much the only things I listened to in the summer of 84. What a great time!

[earlyblue]

is jake e lee in this docu?

[lion3p0]

the only weakness of the great metal bands, they just got too much into the partying and it ruined them, thats the only problem

[USMC19777]

the good old days when music was music--Motley,Poison,Scorpions­,Ratt,Dokken,Cinderella..lots of good memories!!

[ultimatemegadeath]

and if I had lived in that complex, i wouldve shot all of you with water balloons filled with tar and feathers. lol!

[NerdForMIT]

and wanted man

[NerdForMIT]

The best songs ratt done as far as I hear it though I love them all. but my fav's are

1) You Think You're Tough

2) Lay It Down

3) Round And Round

4) The Morning After

5) You're In Trouble

6) Back For More

[juanleiden]

@NerdForMIT

nobody rides for free

i want a woman too

[NerdForMIT]

@juanleiden yes and many more.

[madometal]

Still got that 6 track E.P. on original cassette & vinyl ,great memories like these made me a good man I am today.......

[thepaddywagonishere]

If anyone should write a book it should be Juan. I bet he could tell some stories! He did on Behind the music!

[mphrdldn]

Bobby Blotzer's pecs look like he lifted weights or was it from the drumming?

[4JayeP]

@mphrdldn probably came from all the lifting he did from the club days. He loaded all his own gear and that drum riser they used was a beast to set-up and tear down.

[mphrdldn]

@4JayeP Thanks! Did you read his book? It looks interesting.

[4JayeP]

@mphrdldn I totally respect Ratt for what they did and how they came up through the ranks. They earned everything they got. I haven't read Bobby's book and probably won't. I'm not going to bad mouth him, but I'm not one of his biggest fans. But hey, if you read it, let me know what you thought about it.

[rds13601]

Despite the fashion angle! Ratt had great sound and tight riffs! They were fucking really good!!

[LazyGriff]

2 people are jelous cause there not famous

[danewson]

Who would have guessed that womens lingerie would stink up a bus? Didn't know women could be so fucking nasty.

[iLuVMeTaL4LiFe]

man i remember when MTV was actually MTV. today all the crap thats on there makes me sick inside. since when does being 16 and pregnent or jersey shore have to do with music videos and or music documentaries? its sickening.

[JosephKuby]

@iLuVMeTaL4LiFe, Bobby Blotzer doesn't like the new MTV either.

[maziku]

@ 2:54 the marqee has Cirith Ungol playing with Ratt. Cirith Ungol is a really good underground band that never got big. i was shocked to see them on there. cool!

[resqfireman]

I think that its funny that Motley is getting credit for cracking open the LA scene, when it was Quiet Riot and the "Metal Health" album that did it. And "Shout" did not come out in '82, it came out in '83. I remember very well. BTW, "Theatre" sucks ass as an album, and even "Girls" only had like 3 good songs on it. Very sad about Robbin Crosby. RATT had good musicians, but Stephen Pearcy sucks as a singer.

[trulysarcastic]

@resqfireman metal health was a hit before Shout, but I think the 2 bands being similiar is what blew open the scene, when you had 2 metal/glam bands for LA made everyone check it out. Plus quiet riot fell a part pretty quickly

[JosephKuby]

@resqfireman, I agree. Crue get too much credit for their own good.

Even Crue admitted that Theatre and Girls sucked major chunks.

[edjar10]

what song is on

5:20

[Defmaniac]

The song is "Lack of Communication" at 5:20

[edjar10]

thanks man

cheers !!1

[KillaheadX]

Lack Of Communication

[BobReidy]

I wonder if Marshal got any pussy to.I bet he did.

[Iansdaddy9]

not with that big ass gap between his teeth.

[BobReidy]

You think so.I bet he got his share.

[BobReidy]

I wonder how much pussy they got and which band member got the most.I bet Steven did.I wonder what his women slept with list is.

[JosephKuby]

@BobReidy, Juan was the cutest - he got the most.

[BobReidy]

Maybe but ussually the lead singer gets the most like in Van Halen,I think Roth got the most.In Motley Crue,the drummer got the most.

[JosephKuby]

@BobReidy, I'm surprised none of them got AIDS.

[juanleiden]

@JosephKuby

crosby had aids

[frehleysboots]

@JosephKuby this from wiki: "Reported causes of his death include AIDS-related complications, and heroin overdose".

[maziku]

@BobReidy i dunno, if you've read the dirt you might think vince got the most pussy. when he had to stay sober he would line up 5-10 girls and run a sexual obstical course.

[BobReidy]

That is awesome.Nikki Sixx said he was in rooms where he did coke off chicks back and then fucked them all.How cool would it have been to party with them back in the day or even today.I think we would get some pussy too.

[maziku]

@BobReidy if you havent read motley crue the dirt i highly suggest it. you will not be able to put the thing down. partying with them in the 80's would have been nuts but today it would probably only be fun to party with vince or tommy since nikki and mick are sober now. rock on

[BobReidy]

I flipped through it but I should read it.I cant believe that Mick is pushing 60.He is already a grandpa.Nikki is in his 50s.They are to cool to be that old.Your right it would be more fun to party with them today now that they are sober.

[DavoRocks]

at 4:11 , it is called "Never Use Love" ...from Invasion LP

[VanishaGlamChick6]

RATT RULES!!!

[1kydde2]

what song is it 4:11

[gusyrocks]

i think it,s "wanted man" live. it sounds like that

[Onepersonsopinion]

Never Use Love off Ratt's Invasion of Your Pricacy album

[Onepersonsopinion]

Oops. Misspelled Privacy. Album is Invasion of Your Privacy.

[patiam1969]

"You Think Your Tough"

[Germania72]

what????????????? what is Milton Berle doing in a RATT's video? LOOOOOL

[Onepersonsopinion]

Milton was the uncle of Ratt's manager, Marshall Berle. Milton was in 2 videos, Round and Round and Back For More

[BobReidy]

Marshall was also Van Halens first manager.

[VanZeppelin82rr]

motley crue stole the looks that kill riff from dokkens young girls and if you dont believe me check it out yourself. If you still disagree feel free to rate this comment.

[moshpittttt]

wow! that sounds almost just like "looks that kill". motley crue actually stole a lot of riffs from other bands. dr. feelgood is one that i remember.

[JosephKuby]

@moshpittttt, Slash noted that Motley stole a lot from bands.

[areasmith]

@VanZeppelin82rr I just listened to Dokken's song and you're right, the riff is real similar to "Looks that Kill". I wonder if MC did steal the hook with the idea that they could make it sound better.

[JosephKuby]

@areasmith, Slash took the intro/outro riff from "Scene of the Crime" but detuned it (meaning it has a slower and thicker sound) for Sweet Child o' Mine.

[dirtylarry69]

Wholy Fuck !! your right !!

[steelman1691]

Well if they did it, i thank god.

Dokken sucks balls man.

Motley Crue rocks.

[JosephKuby]

@VanZeppelin82rr, Crue also took a riff from a Discharge song called Where There's a Will.

[motleycrue24]

@VanZeppelin82rr im pretty sure everyone knows but whats does that have to do with ratt

[WanneiTorres530]

Yeah Motkey Crue But I Think They Dident Hit It Big Untill Girls Girls Girls.

[phrydoom]

"Shout" was huge, IMO...thyeir best album and it came out in 1983 and really was huge by 1984, but I bet the "Girls Girls Girls" tour did better, in terms of money. I loved Tommy's cage-thing. That was cool

[tracybrown1977]

@phrydoom Girls tour was big.. The problem was is that Whitesnake stole the show most nights... Dr. Feelgood was there best album and made the most money...

[Rocco11510]

@WanneiTorres530 Motley hit it big WAYYYY before Girls Girls Girls. Their breakthrough album was Shout At The Devil, and the next album, Theatre Of Pain was huge too due to "Home Sweet Home."

[ShredLightDistrict]

@Rocco11510 Exactly! Too Fast For Love best album ever!

[ShredLightDistrict]

@WanneiTorres530 Well Theatre of Pain is when Motley broke really big because of Home Sweet Home... it was so popular MTV started putting expiry dates on videos because of how many requests they got for it.

[motleycrue24]

@WanneiTorres530 they hit it big before girls shout and the us festival in 83 is when they hit it big

[NicksEvilTwin1]

@WanneiTorres530

Motley was HUGE when Shout & Theater of Pain came out soooo, I'm not sure what YOUR talkin about

[ultimatemegadeath]

@WanneiTorres530 , actualy once they did theatre of pain, specifically "home sweet home" THATS when they flew off the shelves.

[CornSw]

@WanneiTorres530 I could also be wrong. But wasn't it until Dr. Feelgood they hit really big? Could also be wrong here :P

[garyjohnson1984]

@WanneiTorres530 Crue hit it big with "Live Wire". I remember as a kid seeing that on friday night videos and was hooked

[CLHairMetal]

whats the name of the song at 1:55?

[AngryAgain]

motley didn't hit the big time in 1982 like vh1 says...they broke in 84...quiet riot broke in 83

[kendostick58]

whats the song playing during 2:18?

[phrydoom]

Sweet Cheater, from their first album/EP. it's their fastest tune.

[Phaellos]

@phrydoom It's one of my favorite ratt

[pflo99]

This is bullshit.... Lack Of Communication wasnt "penned by Juan", it was already written in Stephens previous band! Its on Itunes for chrissakes!

[kendostick58]

NEVER trust itunes.

[AngryAgain]

@pflo99 yea vh1 always has a few facts wrong on just about every BTM I have ever seen

[motleycrue24]

no dude juan wrote lack of communication in mickey ratt never played it

[JosephKuby]

@pflo99, he originally wrote it when he was in Dokken but George Lynch said the guitar parts weren't challenging enough for him.

[YoBroMan]

I grew up in LA and I remember Ratt's 6 song EP being played on KNAC. That was before they were signed to Atlantic.

I remember the show at the Country Club with Rough Cutt and WASP.

Those were the days. :)

Yo!

[phrydoom]

Dude, I love KNAC, and I still visit their internet metal/hard rock site.

Cool memories, man. I bet that was a great show.

[AceFrhly]

@YoBroMan lucky bastard

[amateurextra58]

Thank you for sharing this video with me. If you can re-up the music video 'round and round' in a better video form, that would be great !!!! Thanks again !!!

[MyShatDontStink]

If You Watch The Ratt Video "Slip of The Lip" carefully you will see me In it.

[phrydoom]

No way, really?

[JosephKuby]

@MyShatDontStink, which one is you in the video?
