Ratt - Lack Of Communication - Lay It Down - You're In Love

Live at The Pool Deck, Monsters of Rock Cruise
Oct. 1, 2016

[@davidwells6556]

Lack of communication is one of my favorite riffs of all time.

[@thefilmlodge]

NOW, THIS is RATT.

[@freddyferrillo9704]

But only not with Robin Crosby and a different drummer. So really, your claim is false. Sadly.

[@berrymccockiner3492]

god no. especially now, RATT isnt RATT Without Crosby and DeMartini

[@thefilmlodge]

@@berrymccockiner3492 Yeah, my comment was 3 years ago...carry on.

[@berrymccockiner3492]

@@thefilmlodge yeah no shit and when you made your comment, it still wasnt RATT

[@thefilmlodge]

@@berrymccockiner3492 DeMartini was in the band then...you gonna dig up Crosby's corpse now?

[@sjdhgydhfyrn1023]

The legendary Juan Croucier with a little glam metal Cuban two-step action. Entertaining as Hell.

[@tommcdonough6086]

Juan's awsome, loves what he does.

[@Judezki92]

they sound tight!! its incredible what a new drummer can do to a band

[@andremaroratiranda]

especially when the drummer is Jimmy de Grasso :)

[@jonathanpippin]

Yeah the drums are right.

[@CptSlow89]

Whats wrong with the drummer on Invasion of your privacy for example?

[@MrWilliamerickson]

Prayers answers, RATT IS BACK !!!

[@icedviking4485]

And now they are gone again :( Warren, Carlos and Jimmy left...

[@jarkkokyntaja4073]

RATT. One of my all time favorites alongside Iron Maiden, Metal Church and Overkill. That groove !!! So great to see Stephen who is ALIVE. I thought it was all over after those recent alcohol infested performances. It really doesn´t matter what Blotzer does, RATT is Warren DeMartini on guitars and Stephen´s voice. Plain and simple. Stephen, stay sober, otherwise it´s just instrumental...

[@metal6566]

For anyone following the dispute between Ratt‘s members over official use of the band name, you can can rest easy as it all appears to have come to an end. Now, after a court ruling, original members singer Stephen Pearcy, guitarist Warren DeMartini and bassist Juan Croucier have regained control over the Ratt moniker, ousting drummer Bobby Blotzer in the process.

[@b.linnane5753]

Does that mean Juan is owed a few years wages..or equity at least? Ratt have always been a proverbial can of worms!

[@metal6566]

lol dont know you would have to talk to him.

[@gundamovsscalemodel8941]

They were in the zone for this show! You can see it.

[@donaldshrader9609]

LACK OF COMMUNICATION. When I heard this song. I realized? A lot of LACK OF COMMUNICATION in this world. And I thank RATT for making me realize this. At your job or jobs or online??? EVERYWHERE.

[@srdargo1488]

That is the RATT live sound I remember. I was singing along the whole time. Dang I hope this lineup hits the road in the states on a proper tour. Ratt & Roll forever!

[@GHero5000]

Great footage, thanks for posting! Warren is still the greatest. So glad these guys are back together!

[@tommcdonough6086]

RATT really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool still one of my favorite bands, Warren is a guitar god absolute legend.

[@dhit6277]

Warren still kicks ass. Always been one of my favorite guitar players.

[@tommcdonough6086]

WARREN TORCH DEMARTINI ABSOLUTE LEGEND second to none.

[@jhs5150]

I could watch Warren play all day.

[@tommcdonough6086]

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. Warren Demartini and Eddie my personal favorites. Never gets old.

[@TimmyTantrum]

I am 100% in favor of Ratt reforming with Jimmy DeGrasso on drums.

[@nelwinaldriansyah]

amen to that!

[@CaptainFantastik1]

They should also have a new backdrop with a pic of the band members collectively pissing on Blotzer's face.

[@alandan3899]

these guys are on point hahahah...

[@b.linnane5753]

Sounding great here..felt sorry for the fans who showed up for Rio though. Maybe they could come down a key for nobody rides for free, dance etc to accommodate Seps difficulty with the higher end stuff..alot of older artists do it ..no reason why Ratt shouldn't ..

[@bunnisnuggl8813]

absooolutely!- someone mentioned calling themselves Mickey Rat. Didn't realize Bobby was such a dick!!

[@corvettebmw]

I like the brass knuckles microphone.

[@AudiophileTubes]

YESSS!

[@sandyprice7941]

WOW This sounds great Just love them bring them on!

[@tyeprice5782]

This is so good. Warren is incredible. I hope they tour!

[@supercharger509]

RATT N ROLL to the grave...... still my fucking hero's.

[@rothsuede]

Is that Carlos on the left from Quiet Riot ?

[@icedviking4485]

Yes! He was with Ratt for almost 10 years... Sadly both him and Warren left this year Ohh and Jimmy too :(

[@1leech]

Lamest crowd ever🙄🙄🙄

[@godzillasimpson8357]

They sang along and had a good time. You will love argentinian crowds they know how to rock and party.

[@Toxic2T]

@@godzillasimpson8357 Si señorr

[@Dougs-Ear-Hole-Entertainment]

Yep, it is.

[@vicman1515]

Love these guys!!! My fav band ever!!

[@Rich-yj4ub]

Dam! Sounds just as good today as back in 1986. Love it!

[@davidcrabbe1243]

I never was a big fan of Ratt but If i had been on that balcony close enough to hear Lay it Downs opening riff I swear I wouldve nose dived into the sea...wot in hells name is wrong with the audience..Im personally dun with giging coz Ive grown..sick of even sharing the same airspace at in venues with boring stationery cretins...damn fucken so called metalheads ..Turkeys on Boxing day..leftovers from better times....poor Ratt is on fire here...working hard

[@mikelamey7597]

Yeah that's Carlos Cavazo joining in on rhythm guitars. Awesome!

[@am2boni]

I love this song!! A classic!!!

[@kkkjk6o8ho7y7]

Way to GO, RATT! YOU GUYS ROCK & RULE!

[@lexbeltran1354]

One of my all time favorite Hair Metal bands of all time.

[@davem62290]

What a great video Nelwin!! Thanks

[@joeconn4]

2 of my favorite things... RATT, and a cruise!

[@metallicrock3719]

This one had no lube for Blotzer

[@TheBdomijan]

wow....is it just me or does Stephen Pearcy sound damn good on this here cruise man??....I have watched numerous vids of RATT'S and it seemed he blew out his voice quite some time ago...but on every vid I've watched from this cruise he sounds like he should for his age, life style, etc.....obviously not hitting all the notes but he has that edge to his voice that I have missed and is killing it!!!...so freakin cool!!!....these guys have to get the rights to the RATT name/brand that Blotzer is hijacking with his cover band and TOUR!!!!!!!!

[@skylightrecords8547]

I caught on a recent interview that he is now clean and sober. Did another stint in rehab. I think that explains a lot of things.

[@ronwilliams1094]

Blotz was only awarded 1-year (12 months) rights to the name. Once those 12 months are up (and it's coming up soon!!!), Warren can LEGALLY tour as RATT with the guys in this video. Bobby's days are numbered. He couldn't leave well enough alone and had to threaten everybody with lawsuits only in the end, fucking himself.

[@aerlial360]

No he is leagues better than he has been. He sounds actually very good. He has been totally shot for awhile. This is refreshing and solid!

[@jeffreysoto188]

how soon? i want to see this ratt tour the world

[@chriszaa2309]

before he had no motivation now he does

[@flashy5150]

The ladies want to "get down", but their boring slugs are embarrassed to do the same. If I was there, I would have did it up, just like the "80's". The most fun time in my life.

[@nicolasmorales1746]

Excelente banda una de mis favoritas! !!

[@Grant_S_M]

They sound great! Far better drummer AND Pearcy sounds like he cares again.

[@Toxic2T]

indeed

[@CptSlow89]

Whats wrong with the fucking old drummer?

[@paularruda4933]

Jimmy Degrasso on drums!

[@joeb2588]

Stephen actually sounds better than he did a few years ago, Maybe we'll have a new album? Infestation was awesome.

[@boriskarloff3270]

Not a chance, these guys can't stand each other. One gig so they can each afford to eat for the next month is about all that's going to happen.

[@boriskarloff3270]

Faded rock star strategy at work here: when you forget the words to a song and your voice is shot, stick out your microphone and let people on a freakin' boat do all the heavy lifting for you.

[@DASamX5453]

+Boris Karloff This is what a lot of people keep saying about Don Dokken but ever since their reunion..I don't care how his voice sounds, they have never sounded better...I'd rather listen, see, and sing to the real singer of a band rather than a replacement...cause it's how I remember them...So, even if Stephen's voice isn't up to par, I mean come on, you're talking about 20-30 years ago or so..anyone would lose their voice after all that...They do sound better than ever with Pearcy...you can replace a drummer no problem but I have always said, when you replace the singer, the band will never be the same cause you trying to kick out or let go the heart and soul of a band....Also a big fan of Warren's...and he's still rippin it :P

[@gtdrummer6429]

+Boris Karloff Actually they're all getting along just fine. They just recently won back the rights to the name Ratt from former drummer Bobby Blotzer, and also replaced him with drummer Jimmy DeGrasso (who is a great drummer by the way), now they're playing shows with this line-up and talking about doing a new album.

[@boriskarloff3270]

Greg Tolliver Unless Blotzer auctioned off the name on eBay, then nobody won anything.

[@enorth15]

Wow..... these dudes are sounding great. Time to see another Ratt show!!!

[@davesimmons579]

Sounds greatttttttttt

[@LOKISlog7]

Seeing Carlos, always reminds me of Quiet Riot, and better days

[@VyperVenom]

They sound better than they have in decades!!!

[@chrisbrodzik-007]

Sounds great I hope their will be a tour 17

[@MrUltraworld]

If I was Blotzer, I'd be really worried. If this band doesn't use the name Ratt, there isn't shit Blotzer can do. He doesn't own Ratt's publishing, he wrote nothing.

[@ronwilliams1094]

I mentioned the name scenerio in the previous comment: Blotz was only awarded 1-year rights to the name. Warren never showed up to court so the judge granted it so Bob could work and make a living but ONLY for 12 months. Once those 12 months are up and they're up soon, Warren can LEGALLY tour as RATT with the other 4 guys in this video. Bobby's days are numbered. He couldn't leave well enough alone and had to threaten everybody with lawsuits only in the end, fucking himself.

[@MrUltraworld]

Ron Williams Very shortsighted isn't he? He then held a corporate meeting at a Deli, making himself the CEO of Ratt. What annoyed most was not that he was touring as Ratt, it was the quality of the musicians he chose to tour with. Pissing his legacy (was little there was) away/

[@ronwilliams1094]

Absolutely. Sad really. When I hear stories from his band (all of whom were in diapers during RATT's heyday) talking about casual fans telling THEM their cherished stories about their first RATT concert back in the 80's, etc., etc. without realizing the dudes AREN'T even original, though taking credit, pisses me off.

[@mikaylamccaleb1907]

Their should be a disclaimer & the beginning of blotzers show. Or the all inclusive, 'featuring:...'.

[@chrisbrodzik-007]

Whoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[@wahoodal0896]

I don't understand all the Bobby hate?!? For years he was the one guy trying to keep RATT alive and playing. When the other guys were sitting on their asses he was out their giving the fans some music. To me, he is the one that cared most about the fans.
