RATT - The Morning After PRO-SHOT 1984

[@billydeewilliams9104]

I lived in Berlin in '84. I remember a neighbor playing Ratt out of his 3rd story window. I yelled, "What is that?" He yelled back, "RATT, you aint got this stuff over here yet!!!" Dude was fresh from the states. My sisters bought me 'Out of the Cellar' for Christmas that year.

[@alaindewitt]

'Out of the Cellar' is one of those rare albums without a bad track on it. Still holds up almost 30 YEARS later!

[@NJDVLS9500]

Alain DeWitt Appetite for Destruction will be joining the ranks this year.

[@nikkisixx7395]

100% Glam and Heavy Metal

[@74babyblue]

So true an amazing album

[@tommcdonough6086]

Still holds up 40 yrs. Later.Ratt really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool still one of my favorite bands of all time, Warren is a guitar god absolute LEGEND..........

[@seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

One of the greatest albums ever imo it’s like an album of greatest hits no bad tracks like you say , and my favorite track The Morning After got little radio play .

[@seandouglas8655]

Warren is one of the 80s guys that was able to play those fast fluid legato runs with a blues under tone

[@ScreamAndFly]

Warren actually rarely employed legato techniques in his playing.

[@beastarentertainment4926]

Warren and Crosby dueling guitars were the best! Fun to watch

[@seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

As far as duel guitarists you always hear KK and Tipton , Murray and Smith , Hetfield and Hammett , all great tandems for sure but for me King Robbin and DeMartini are right they were epic together Robbin with the killer riffs and Warren with mind blowing solos .

[@JoltinDjango]

Wow. I recorded this on a Beta machine when I was about 11 years old. It's been at least 20 years, or more, since I've seen these "Pro-Shot" songs. Warren D always got credit as an incredible axe-slinger, but this live song proves that Crosby could play a mean guitar, too.

[@sarys73]

Probably the most recognizable voice in hair metal. He wasn't the worlds best singer, but he was perfect for this genre.

[@Murphy_R9]

They played great at the rock palace! this was the first thing of ratt i ever saw back in 84 and was a instant fan especially of warrens playing.

[@Investrite1]

I saw these guys before Out of The Cellar was officially released , they played to less than 100 people at a place called Up All Night in NJ ... I saw them 6 months later at a sold out show at the Meadowlands Arena, that's how fast this band took off :-)

[@amyntut]

Fun fact: Although it sounds like there's a crowd, there is actually none. Sound was added in later.

Tnx for sharing Ratt n' Roll was a staple in the '80s for sure

[@larryjt]

This was my first Ratt; caught it at midnight, taped it on Betamax and wore the sucker out at all the Warren solos. Glad I found this!!!

[@shanegriffin2215]

This is my favorite song from these guys. And Robbin was such a great player. They were never the same without him. Sadly, his demons overcame him in 2002. I wonder where they would have gone had things been different. Thet were bar none hands down the best hard rock band of the 80's. They could write great songs consistantly, were great live, and had the chops to back it all up. In my opinion, the only band that was on their level was Winger. It's such a shame that the usual petty differences, drugs, alcohol, and indifference led to this awesome bands downfall. But, they left us with some incredible music! Bands today just cannot turn out quality like these guys could, Rest in peace, Robbin.

[@axlh.1827]

Ratt, one of the few hair bands that incorporated progressive elements in their music and didn’t rely on the blues for guitar riffing.. imo they sounded similar to queensryche on their first 2 albums, before they went full commercial

Queensryche?? That's a stretch 😂

Lots of idiots commenting in here. Robin was the SONGWRITER in the best years of RATT. Warren is a top ten player of all time. Robin's breakdown and departure was also the end of RATT. Nothing wrong with that. He was in NO SHAPE to cont

[@roxannemoser]

They were pushing him aside ignoring his ideas and playing which pushed him further into drug use. Of course, Nikki Sixx turned him on to heroin his first time.

[@monicajean37]

@@roxannemoser please don't blame RObins use of heroin on Nikki, back then it could've been ANYONE, that drug was everywhere! We all make choices bottom line. I miss KING as much as his next fan, he'll never be forgotten. R.I.P. KING!

[@river2352]

Robbin was the soul of Ratt. End of story. No debate. Anyone suggests otherwise or says they only listen to RATT because of Warren need to go get their head and ears checked. Robbin is the most under appreciated lead guitar player who played rhythm in the history of metal.

@ajh9783 It's very moving what you say. I was born 14 years earlier than you in Spain and we fought hard to get Ratt albums. They never played here because we were just a small country in Europe. But we followed'em and bought their albums. Unfortunately, a relative with drug problems sold my Ratt vinyls. I wish someone like you'd bought'em and now is a Ratt maniac. Never stop ratt'n'rolling, man. Be Ratt.

Damn, I really can't understand why Robbin stopped playing leads. With twin power of him and Warren they could pwn any other guitar duo like Downing/Tipton or DeGarmo/WIlton.

[@dennisthemenace5466]

Too many drugs the rest of the band made the decision to let Warren do the leads because Robin was too fucked up to handle them.

[@TheOnlyHollywood1]

Warren was also more like Eddie Van Halen so that likely played into it. Why have a Billy Gibbons when you can have Eddie Van Halen?

[@TheSetibevol88]

Robbin played just fine...there's nothing wrong with being 'blues-boxed' or being a 'pentatonic-Pete...' solos are about feel and what complements the song...sure, Warren knew how to shred (by comparison), but let's not forget a couple things....Ratt was Robbin's baby (back when it was Mikkey Ratt...if I remember the spelling right), as it was Pearcy's...and secondly, and most unfortunately, Robbin got too caught up in the excesses, which would dull ANYONE'S potential after a while. :s
