wish i'd seen RATT live back then in the 80s. I think contrary to alot of youtube comments on Stephen & Warren, is that yeah, stephens voice struggles (probably due to the ciggys) but he can still growl away and make it different. Warrens playing to me sounds spot on. 25 years later and still rolling...respect is due.RATT come to the UK!!!!!!!!
I've seen these guys on their first tour summer of "84" opening for Billy Squier. The next year Ratt headlined on their "lay it down" tour and bon jovi opened for ratt. The next year for their "dance" album they headlined and Poison opened, then Joan Jett. Those were some great shows. I wish I would've gotten some pictures, but was young and partying and having fun like it would never end.............
Hey that alternative creation was good. But it shut the doors on so much by the way MTV did this. I mean fuck warrant and bands that had no business wearing black leather and bleached hair. THey were the fools that nosed dived this bread of art and made it look clownish. THen the new wave of light came through, but the way it was handled sucked, same with how Johny Cash had done with him with new country
I think people are becoming increasingly aware of trends and how to avoid them... Yes, grunge in the 90's, nu metal etc. Now people are just looking for good music. This song is great, but Stephen Pearcy needs some good backing, vocals which he doesn't have here. It's apparent he can't carry the "high register" anymore.
It's not that bad really, I mean it's about 8-9 years past the 80's metal scene. They weren't as popular anymore and didn't have a good album to promote on tour. Even Motley Crue play smaller gigs around this time, but not club gig like Ratt. Crue were doing theaters shows. L.A. Guns was doing the same thing too with the small venues. A lot of other 80's bands suffered the same fate. But look now, all these bands are getting popular again and playing larger venues.
yeah, I read "the dirt".. and of course i'm really glad that they still play!! that's the most important, good times/bad times...
as for right now i think that this "enormous come back wave" of old school bands is stimulated by the absence of a "specific currenly ruling genre" of rock/metal (f.e. like grunge in the 90' or nu metal in the beggining of 2000's)... everything is calm right now in rocknroll and hence this is an opportunity for many bands to try luck....
one of the best hard rock song EVER

Good sound, maybe the best one on the tube. Is a storming old school metal track.
