RATT -Interview 88 Stephen&Warren(TV)

[@humdae6738]

Warren de Martini looks soo cool

[@russellburgett8330]

Way Cool Jr. you might say

[@redhotchilifan98]

Warren had some gorgeous hair lol

[@j.p.holiday8899]

"It's almost the nineties..." Man, if they knew what was about to happen to metal.

[@heatherratliff1813]

Thanks to nirvana, pearl jam, jane's addiction, and all the other boring grunge fad

[@lrn_news9171]

@@heatherratliff1813 I think what killed metal wasn't grunge, it's the fact that metal no longer got any airplay or promotion by the labels and were dropped. They jumped on the new fad. Firehouse's second album was in 1992 and it was certified gold, and went #23 on the billboard 200 Def Leppard's adrenalize went #1 in 1992. It's not because people did not enjoy metal anymore, it's because the media and labels abandoned them.

[@johnc1666]

@@lrn_news9171 you nailed it on the head, but we could feel in the air that we needed something new and fresh back then, because they milked the hard rock hair metal thing too much. I think the 80's burnt a lot of people up! But it was the best by far.

[@neuregel]

@@lrn_news9171 there was plenty of room for 80's metal, glam, grunge, alternative and rap. but heavy metal albums like reach for the sky, empire, ceremony, lock up the wolves and no prayer for the dying and others were all just terrible albums. look how cocky steven is presenting the album. way cool jr would have been the worse song on out of the cellar

[@rjc7289]

I think they got an idea of what was to come when Guns N' Roses released their first album 1 year prior. It was way different than anything else coming out of the Sunset Strip, including Ratt. It was definitely a signpost that the scene was about to morph into something different.

[@roadbully384]

Japan has always been metal fans 🤘🤘🤘

[@rondellschuyler7074]

Thankfully I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Music all around was great. Today,God help these rap kids.

[@illuminotme4261]

Agreed!

[@Scottocaster6668]

They both were high as hell 😁. Laughing while talking to that puppet.

[@daniellesims5236]

I love how he shakes the puppets hand after. Lol

[@lrn_news9171]

It's unlikely that they were high in Japan imo They have strict laws there lol

They were so young. And the drugs, alcohol and cigarettes hadn't turn them into 80 year-olds yet.

[@camilomontoya7412]

BBKlima stephen was like 34 here

[@BBKlima]

More like 31 or 32. And yes that is young.

[@camilomontoya7412]

[@schuey999]

It doesn't get any better than seeing the joy on Warren's face when they first sit down and he looks at the puppet.

[@corndog1868]

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@MarkOmega.]

such a great interview of Stephen & Warren☆☆ The Japanese hosts were creative & asked great questions of the band 《《thanks for posting this!!☆☆

[@zakk1945]

You're very welcome!The man who plays the owner of Cafe is the editor in chief of a magazine called "Young Guitar".

[@AccuracySpeaks]

@@zakk1945 Young Guitar is/was one of the best media outlets for guitar players ever, check out Dime's "Young Guitar" videos, they are killer!

[@scoobydoo148]

Warren is so cute🥺

[@Frieza287]

Isn’t he?? God I have such a crush on young Warren, he was SO cute back then. He’s my favorite 80s shredder

[@toddlavigne6441]

he always reminded me of a young Joe Perry at this stage

[@paultrombetta]

They're so lit. I love it. Fuckin great band

[@Girkadirk]

LOL @ 4:32 "As you know we have five albums now"... Warren gets confused and starts counting. I guess it's five with the EP and the new one at that time.

[@getmypastamasta8670]

.......my my my martini

[@zurialvarez5967]

[@PatriciaSilvers-c2z]

Goodlooking talented men

[@SCOTTA1]

[@cncdolphins]

This is awesome! Robin Zander and Rick Nielsen stopped at this same bar and played The Flame for the bartender and the puppet lol

[@ItalianWarrior777]

That album is soooo awesome

[@murphshall]

Warren and Stephen are so stoned, I swear that at 4:51 Warren talks to the puppet :)

[@gayfrogs4206]

Bruh 💀😭

[@PittPenguin]

Such an underrated band... first five albums are unbelievable. Mainstream stuff is absolute rubbish... awesome band RATT

[@lrn_news9171]

In my opinion their best material was their first 3 albums, my personal favorite is Dancing undercover.

[@MaskedManiacReviews]

@@lrn_news9171 definitely love the first 3 best

[@corndog1868]

Ratt n Roll

[@Fearzero]

@@lrn_news9171 First 2. DU was a huge disappointment for me when I was 16. The mix was horrible for one.

[@moonwork4378]

Stephen has nice lips. 😊

[@beefsoda1]

The Japanese people are some really great people.

[@fmbighair]

"Is this the new rogo?"

[@totigerus]

[@WolfmanJack66]

[@boke75]

[@SCOTTA1]

The new Wrogo for Wratt ?

[@melissahickman8197]

Damn, Warren was such a babe

[@RPMcMurphy1975]

I remember those old cans that Coors light came in.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

2:47 Get back to the Ratt EP? With Reach for the sky? Makes no sense.

[@しゅうさくおだ]

ピュアロック画像もっと見たいです色々アーティストスティーブン、ウォーレン見れるとはここで懐かしい青春時代の画像多分もう皆ビデオ持ってないだろうな、この頃のライバルMTVもあってハードロック＆ヘビィメタル特集も半年に一回あったよ、良かった古き良き時代、もっとピュアロックアーティスト特集出して欲しいです

[@beastarentertainment4926]

Awesome 👍😀 very funny

[@misfitsfiendclub9559]

warrens so baby

[@nicolaorton8603]

Anyone know what nationality Pearcy is? Can't seem to find this anywhere.

[@BBKlima]

From his auto-biography: "part German, part Irish, part who knows what. Pure mutt."

[@wiscovirgo]

you mean ethnicity? His nationality is American 😂😂😂

[@totigerus]

I was working as a bouncer at the Wiltern Theater when Ratt played with Extreme. There was this older groupie I was talking to, and she seemed to be pretty up to date with Ratt, and she said both Steven Pearcy and Steve Perry of Journey were Portuguese. How she knew this info, I have no idea. But I wouldn't be surprised.

[@777jones]

Just for discussions sake he looks a little like Slash. Maybe he has some African or middle eastern heritage.

[@averageinternetjoe1794]

Apparently he has Mexican in him, He always looked a little Native American to me.

[@PedroLopezBeanEater]

Nuts.

[@covinomartinez6048]

I Think Dokken did this Japanese Show with that Puppet? "Of Course back in the day....

[@gameboycat05]

Damn, I wanna see it and I can't find it :(

[@zakk1945]

[@JoseGarcia-eadgbe]

🎆

[@1251wire]

....la cagaron al rededor de este tiempo... Pero Out of The Cellar es muy bueno.

[@josearalat]

De acuerdo. Reach for the Sky fue tremenda mierda.

[@BillVerdon]

The gloves.... :-)

[@oswaldfife5183]

I am with Mike...

[@robertjimenez4901]

Warren looks like Randy Rhoads Lol

[@MegaTriumph1]

Wasn't a fan until point break came out. Ratt stole the movie with nobody rides for free a killer track. Then a second look at what I missed with Ratt the struggles of being hard fighting fringe band really won me over they fought to hang in there. I just didn't see it at first I really missed out. Its good to see them promoting music and surviving it all God Bless them. R.I.P Robbin King Crosby a music hero just like the rest of the band.

[@zurialvarez5967]

i love this comment! it describes why i love them so perfectly❤

[@eraelinson8739]

warren is cute LOL

[@brentacusmaximus6677]

Too bad robyn wasn't in this. it would of been more interesting !

[@sterlingahlstrom8845]

Stephen sounds a lot like blackie lawless un talk voice but singing is much different.

[@tomsenick2033p]

These guys were on top playing arenas around the world... Now they're playing parking lots

[@colincampbell7126]

A natural progression

[@gameboycat05]

That's how much a bitch the music industry is

[@donaldalbano6484]

what the hell is this? japanese sesame street interview with american rock band? by the way, i think stephen pearcy has some mexican in him.

[@theidiotwhowaitsforjesus889]

Warren looks like he's only 19.

[@caroline8019]

I’m pretty sure he would have been 28 in 1988, but I depends on when this interview was

[@wingerboy88]

Actually, he was 25 years old back in 1988.

[@jennifercarcamo9387]

Are they stoned or they are just nice?

[@multigodofallful]

Yeah It's a new rogo .

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

*Rogue-O.

[@MrHARDROCKROBBY]

The band was pretty much falling apart quality wise by this album. You can almost feel it in the record. Even though I love the album Another thing was that guitarist Robbin Crosby who was vital to the band sound pretty much was falling apart as a guitar player by this point

[@jdexposure]

WTF? No beer for the puppet?

[@martyrmessiah3903]

Which one?

[@boke75]

No, man, he's under aged.

[@irish-kk1tq]

Ratt jumped the Shark = Way Cool Jr.

[@getmypastamasta8670]

Ah 80s tv What the fuck

[@kinniwright1642]

Nice pageboy hair. Lmao

[@davidwatson3456]

AND then their sound died beginning 1990. Your career was done a year later when GRUNGE took over the planet

[@turtleworld3208]

just slowed a bit never died. They never stopped and their catalog brings them in very nice checks every month

[@josearalat]

So Pearcy is what, middle eastern decent, mulato, what?

[@WALDENSOFTWARE]

Who the f knows.

[@dltguitar6532]

Lol

[@dltguitar6532]

My guess is he is part Mexican. It’s possible because he was from San Diego and all, which is right on the border

[@josearalat]

@@dltguitar6532 Part Hispanic part crack head!

[@nelsonjoaquin6185]

"Asians"

[@neuregel]

i hated reach for the sky
