Warren DeMartini is a very underrated guitarist. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a true badass. Stephen Pearcy is a great vocalist too. He has a unique voice when you hear it, you know exactly who it is. You mentioned "Lay It Down" which is a gritty, nasty song, but so many others on the Out of the Cellar album are so awesome. Lack of Communication, Back For More, and my personal favorite, Wanted Man are definitely worth a listen also.

[@Barbro247]

"Hair Metal" gets a bad rap for the image but it was a golden age for guitar. RIP EVH.

[@codyhansonbass]

Agreed. Not my favorite genre, but so many incredibly talented musicians get overlooked and under appreciated these days because hair metal is one of the only "retro" genres that is looked back upon as silly instead of cool, for most people. I would say Nu Metal has a similar situation, some really great musicians in some bands that just don't get any respect because the mainstream thinks the genre is not worthy of being looked at with rose colored glasses.

[@treffbennett6534]

TRUE THAT, brother! George Lynch, Jake E. Lee, Vito Bratta, Akira Takasaki (Loudness) Reb Beach....to name a few. Warren absolutely sizzles with genius riffs and tasty solos-a highly melodic player who exudes class with his fretwork! EVH was oxygen for me-he is the most "musical" of all guitarists, his melodic sense won't be equaled-he and Jimmy Page. stay safe and great post!

[@NeonNights80]

For me kinda the same. 1983 night tracks on Tbs opened my eyes to metal with Def Leppard, KISS. Ratt. Van Halen, etc, before I had to listen to what my parents were into. Like Kenny, Conway, Alabama, Rabbit, Milsap Etc. I still like those country classics though. I wish these reaction crews would do some of those. Not just rock. Post script edit.

[@johnnyrokkit]

Robbin and Warren were an epic pair. Warren was the master shredder (and a big influence on the next generation of guitarists), and Robbin brought the grounded, thicker, melodic counter to Warren’s sharp fluttery bite. RIP Robbin.

[@smartervilleonroute66]

Robbin is so underrated. He brought alot of the groove but he could also shred.

[@ShotGunSlade12]

80’s guitarists were always searching for “The” tone and it wasn’t pushing a couple of buttons on an effects unit either. Many guitarists of that era spent many hours developing and perfecting their sound.

Before Eddie nobody sounded like this band. It's really quite astonishing how much Eddie changed how people approach the guitar. The guitarist in this band was definitely an huge Ed fan.

In fact right before the audition he walked into a second hand store across the street, saw the stovepipe hat and well.....the rest is history.

[@erikp6844]

George has a good ear in regards to the tuning. Both Ratt and Van Halen have their guitars tuned down a half-step. It gives a solid blues feel, allows you to play different keys that aren’t easy to achieve in standard tuning, and the strings have less tension which makes bending easier. Fun fact: Coheed and Cambria’s best album IMO (Good Apollo I) is entirely in this tuning, and you guys gotta react to Welcome Home. Absolutely epic🤘🏻

So sleazy! 😭 WASP too. But Ratt was really fun, they had that street vibe. I love how George felt them out and checked a couple more songs.. and they lit them on fire 😂

[@sebbach3747]

@@midnite8729 WASP were insane..don't get the respect they deserve

[@dontmakemelaugh01]

Maybe it was because Warren DeMartini (Torch) was from San Diego, but KGB played Ratt heavily in the rotation. Never considered Ratt , underrated.

[@Garmakosh]

RATT and Marvin Gaye - “I Heard it Round and Round the Grapevine” , by Bill Maclintock. Great Mashup xD

[@requiemjason]

This.

[@Impalaman1968]

YES! !!! Bill is the undisputed MASTER of the Mashup....I've heard that one, and it's actually really cool. I don't know what editing software he's using, but he has that shit down to a science! I'm a subscriber to his channel and I enjoy what he does!

[@bbcraven6469]

Man, watching you guys react to hearing these old songs for the first time makes me feel the way I did when I heard them years ago. I LOVE this channel!

[@Random-video]

I truly love you guys helped me out in 2021 when I had COVID which lasted for almost 6 months of not feeling good at all. I watched your videos every dam day .

[@shack8110]

Wow! I've been begging for Ratt and gave up. You played the 1 "hit" from an album full of killer melodic metal tunes, but that's cool. Out of the Cellar and Invasion of Your Privacy are filled with awesome rock. MORE RATT! MORE RATT! 4 straight albums of grooving metal.

[@MichaelCescato]

Me too! I've been DYING for them to react to RATT. They didn't disappoint, and got Lay it Down and What U give is what U get. Who would've thunk.

[@nikoorion2570]

RIP Robin Crosby

[@toddhall5565]

RATT was easily my favorite band back in those days and I love seeing you guys digging them so hard! The Out of the Cellar album is kick ass, I've worn out 3 copies through the years. Warren DeMartini is a guitar playing beast as well, always loved his style and tone.

[@reverendriff5597]

Fun Fact: My buddy Derek DeStefano (drummer & Pittsburgh native) got married onstage at a RATT concert (Richfield Coliseum, Cleveland, Ohio 199?). A few years later he, I and Dan Butch (Nightcrawler, Haymaker, Edward be Thy Name etc...) got too hang out with RATT, Great White, Poison, & L.A. Guns at a backstage afterparty at Blossom Music Center (also Cleveland). Derek and Bobby Blotzer (also a drummer & Pittsburgh native) have been friends ever since the wedding and still talk to each other (as far as I know).

[@richardstewart7324]

Even rats like this song!

[@Breeze87]

Ok guys here is one from Ratt. It has a blues kind of sound to it "Way Cool JR." You will love it.

[@chickenpimp5190]

I second that.

[@josefwilliams4262]

Way Cool Jr. is Warren’s best riff ever.

[@straytrazor1392]

WCJ is a great song!

[@brians1793]

I was gonna mention it too, as a guitarist and lover of blues and rock/metal it's one of my favorites songs ever. I'd love to see them react to it.

[@georgeglasser8220]

This song was released a few months earlier than Panama in 1984. I don't think anyone was copying.

[@swatson28]

I hear Ain't Talking About Love though 100%

[@brutusvk2]

Ratt is awesome. Warren DiMartini is way underrated. Juan Croucier lent so much with his backing vocals. Robin Crosby can kill at rhythm or lead. One of my favorite bands of the 80s.

[@robertsimmons3336]

Way Cool Jr is awesome as well. You really can't go wrong. RATT just has that style and are so consistent with those nasty riffs. I saw them live with Dokken it was my first concert and it was mind blowing!

[@daveroberts3357]

One of the best bands of that era. Awesome guitar work and just tight sound. Underated Ratt!

[@finstor3386]

Lay it Down is by far Ratt's best song, nothing else really close.

[@brians1793]

I think Way Cool Jr. is really underrated and probably my favorite.

Tesla might be the most underrated band from that era. Mechanical Resonance and The Great Radio Controversy are incredible albums.

[@jimmymootron]

Ok, yeah, I need to just say this. Yes, Ratt sounds good. There's something about the "brown sound" that Eddie was always looking for - it sounds so good it hurts.

[@wired7734]

Was at a Ratt concert front row Freakin right in front of Warren De Martini....Most Awesome show I had seen,,,Got backstage passes but didn't know till half way home !!!! Unbelievable!!!!

[@raytull3922]

Ratt's guitarist "Warren DeMartini" is a beast, much like "Chris DeGarmo" of Queensryche.

[@DannyGadish]

DeGarmo is in another league imo

[@aintmanyofusleft]

This whole album is bangin guys DiMartini was a young virtuoso, Ratt came on the scene swinging fot sure

[@guitarboy123987]

Dimartini had some stylistic similarities with George Lynch (also one of my favorites), but definitely carved out his own niche. Very melodic player who used his shred abilities judiciously. Also a master of weaving major and minor patterns over chord progressions that made those kind of shifts. Lay it Down is a great example. Very memorable solo with simple yet catchy lines and reserved use of high speed phrasing.

Ratt Out of the Cellar was the First CD I bought and the first concert I ever went to...14 in 1984...great time to be a teenager!

[@ugaais]

Lol was 14 in ‘84 also my first concert was also that year but is was Van Halen

[@Wrangzilla]

I was 8 in 84 and saved money to buy Van Halen 1984 on cassette.

[@8arrows]

My first cassette purchase was Survivor Eye of the Tiger. I was a big Rocky 3 fan

[@johncarlson6472]

Producer Beau Hill hill said Warren DiMartini, guitarist for Ratt came into the studio early and played the guitar riff/hook for "Lay It Down." He (Beau) then said, ""I knew right then and there that was going to be the hit song off that record." (Of interesting note: Beau also said that the first album "Out of The Celllar" did so well, before they started recording "Invasion of Your Privacy," all Ratt members were worth 1.5 million a piece).

[@Nephilim2038]

What you’re responding to when you say the chorus seems flat is that the pre-chorus is so amazing that there’s no where to go but down In energy afterward. “I knew right from the beginning ...” the pre-chorus has more hooks than an angler’s tackle box.

[@Walamonga1313]

I always found the chorus perfect

[@1bfutch]

Thank you so much for reviewing RATT. My favorite band of the 80's hair metal era. Warren Demartini is one of the most underrated guitarists ever. They are legendary. Your review is spot on. Keep doing what you are doing.

Omg yes! They totally need to do that song at some point!

[@steveh2418]

I always thought Stephen Pearcy sounded exactly like the type of guy who’d be in a band named “Ratt”. Like Vince Neil with a really bad sore throat or something.
