Metal School - Ratt

Unfortunately, KZbin made me cut this one to pieces, so I apologize for any weird edits. I figured I'd try to salvage what I could. Still a fun video though and a good reminder to listen to some Ratt!
As one of the big LA metal bands along with Quiet Riot and Motley Crue, Ratt had a run of four platinum albums in the '80s, before succumbing to pretty much every '80s metal cliche out there. But this video is mainly about the music, the albums, and the videos (as much as possible anyway) and taking a look at a band that is absolutely more than the sum of its parts. With the main lineup of Stephen Pearcy, Robbin Crosby, Warren DeMartini, Juan Croucier, and Bobby Blotzer, Ratt would reach international headliner status and crank out more great songs than you might expect or remember. Check it out and let me know what your favorite Ratt tracks are!

Robbin Crosby played a fair amount of lead guitar with Ratt, particularly on the EP and the first two albums.

[@dgenerated]

Robbin was a good guitarist and had more of a "bluesy" style and was a good songwriter.. The further Robbin got from the songwriting and album participation, the less the albums sold!

[@davidaix5771]

Yeah I've been saying this since I was a kid in my opinion Robin is a better guitarist just for the fact that he has more soul. RIP Robin the king Crosby

[@pewsterbaby]

21:43 - "I've talked a lot about Warren, but that's not to take anything away from Robbin. Not only was Robbin the leader of the band but so clearly the heart & soul of it as well, even if he wasn't the technical virtuoso that Warren came to be." Oh, right on!! Robbin WAS the heart and soul of Ratt. Well said, Mr. Metal Skool Guy.

Out of all the LA bands, Ratt is far too underrated. They should be out touring on the Motley Crue, Def Leppard Stadium Tour. It’s unfortunate they weren’t able to hang onto the stature they built up in the 80’s. Stephen’s recent solo work is very close to Ratt. But I’d love to see these guys reunite the original line up. I just did a Ratt Album Ranking and for me their best album is Detonator. But that’s just my opinion.

[@joshdieckmann595]

I think Detonator is underrated. Yeah, it's more commercial than previous efforts, and Desmond Child's fingerprints are all over it, but honestly I think the songs are solid. "Shame Shame Shame" was a killer opening to the album, and a good choice for a single, to show they hadn't lost their edge.

I went to a RATT concert back in 1984 with some friends. We didn't have tickets so we hung around outside the back doors of the coliseum waiting to get let in. The doors came open and in ran several people but I didn't make it before security closed them again. I wandered around outside listening to the opening band play through the walls when I came upon a row of windows that were dark and just above my head. I jumped up and down several times and saw the members of RATT hanging out waiting to take the stage. I tried my damnedest to get their attention but they never heard or saw me. I spent the rest f the concert outside listening to what was my favorite band at the time, RATT, playing what had to have been an amazing show. I hate that I missed it but at least I got to see them and listen to the concert. Oh how I miss those days...

Ratt is one of those bands where going through the entire history is warranted.

[@kospandx]

@Lungho To me there are two modifiers to this. I don't think that the metal aspect of Ratt ever receded entirely, but rather that it was complemented by a bluesier approach over time. Way Cool Jr. wouldn't have worked on one of the first two albums, but it works like a charm on Reach for the Sky. As far as Detonator goes, it is very different from the other ones, and I can see people not liking that style, but for what it is I think it is a great album, and it might actually be the one I reach for the most these days. Warren's tone on the album, I can say without doubt, is one of my all-time favourites, equalled in that era only by George Lynch on Wicked Sensation.

Infestation is an amazing album from start to finish. Lost weekend is my favorite I think but all the songs are amazing and look out below as well. I think having Carlos cavazo on board really gave them an extra punch. I feel like it was kind of an unspoken tribute to Robin Crosby. I’ve seen ratt 3 times in concert. 1987 Dancing Undercover tour, 1989 Reach For the Sky tour, and in 2000 when Jizzy Pearl was their lead vocalist which also had Warrant on the bill with the late great Jani Lane

Nicely done. RATT is still one of my all time favorite bands. They have so many great albums and I wish they would release some more. If you're hungry for more, Stephen Pearcy's recent solo albums come close, especially View to a Thrill which is amazing!

His albums with Arcade in the 90s are solid too.

That is so cool that you found their contribution to METAL MASSACRE on Metal Blade Records because I knew they had done that but I never heard it - sounds like a totally raw young band. "Out of the Cellar" is the all time best glam metal / pop metal album. Final thoughts: "Dance" should have been a massive radio hit. I don't know why corporate radio did not embrace that song. What a killer hook!
