Where's all the video of this band from the mid-80's? I can't believe no one was filming them. The sound on this is really nice for an audience shot of its time.

[Rattmaster86]

@Cygnus111 what do you mean where? I've uploaded loads of videos of Ratt in the 80's. Pasadena 1983, Rock Palace 1984, Osaka 1985, London 1986, New York 1987, Tokyo 1989 and also vids from the early 90's. Its not as much as other bands, Ratt footage is rare, but its there.

yeah 89 Detonator tour I saw this come through Phiily like march or april 89 Kixx opened for them

[Rattmaster86]

@horseboyken this is reach for the sky tour, detonator was 1990-1991.

Warren De Martini left the band cause he hated touring. He is doing solo projects now and is one of the best guitarists ever. He and Jake E Lee were roomies at one time and are still best friends to this day. Imagine those 2 in a group together!

Steven Pearcy is doing solo work as well using the Ratt label. They have a new CD Coming out soon where Pearcy and Martini reunite for a possible new tour. We will see.

[Rattmaster86]

@109Thunder Warren never left the band, he briefly played for Whitesnake in 1994 if that's what you're talking about, but he didn't leave. Ratt has been reunited and touring since 2007, the new CD came out a few weeks ago, April 20, 2010.

Warren is the shit.

[clitoricam]

One of the worst vocalists of the era...sounds like ass!

[prskolnick]

Warren is on of the greateset--as was Robbin.  Warren looks like he forgot his stage clothes and wore whatever he wore to the show.

@gwimlock What? ratt was one of the bigger bands that came out of the strip

[us9keeper]

GEE's Really!

Warren has always been my guitar idol. Sure George Lynch, Jake E Lee, Randy Rhoads, Steve Vai, Nuno Bettencourt, etc. were all phenomenal too. But something about Warren's style, especially his phrasing, has always really left me in awe. And I agree with IzzyStorm concerning their live shows. Saw them in '85, '86 and '99--all lackluster performances, primarily due to Stephen. But when the rubber meets the road, there's no denying that Out of the Cellar is a pure classic, and Warren is amazing.

@109Thunder Sure miss hearing Jake

[IzzyStorm1996]

not the best live band

[gwimlock]

@displaced7

He's a great player, but Ratt never became as huge as their other Sunset Strip counterparts. DeMartini's songs aren't entrenched in the public's mind in the same way that music from guys like EVH and Slash. Ratt's most recognizable work is "Round and Round", which is hardly DeMartini at his most creative. It's not that DeMartini isn't talented as hell; his body of work just never lived up to his promise, at least commercially.
