[@roryphares6192]

Power chords, pinch harmonics, heavy ride symbol, perfect chorus harmony, great guitar solo (with awesome doubling); I was born in 1982 and my oldest sister was born in 1972, it is LITERALLY impossible for me not to love the 80’s.

This song is currently in a TV commercial where a family say they have a Rat problem in their attic and Ratt is playing this song. I don't even know the product that is being advertised.

[@dianem8544]

Same, but I looked it up and it's a Geico ad. Ballsy move on Geico's part to make a joke using a 35 year old pop culture reference. Personally, I thought it was hilarious, but I wonder what percentage of the population the joke didn't hit with?

Facts!!

[@Willie_McBride]

Facts for both songs!

[@karenbautista9236]

The great thing about the 80’s music was that you were present in the moment. No cell phones to distract. You could really appreciate the time.

[@333perfection]

Perfectly said. Such a FACT. Thx for your comment!!👍🎶😊

[@GT-mq1dx]

I have to tell people all the time when discussing anything 80’s that the energy of that decade may never be matched, it was totally off the hook. Sad thing is we left the 70’s that had so much absolutely great music and flowed right into the 80’s where so much was just Killer! Then enter the 90’s and through most of the decade all I wanted to do was slit my wrists and gag on a spoon, extreme sarcasm here. The only other time in the 20’th century that had crazy energy was the Roaring Twenties and the social economics were very much alike, so to speak. The sky was the limit. It’s a sad truth that time goes on whether we like it or not. But I always have great nostalgia thinking back to my teenage and early twenties years, thankfully a lot was recorded and we can still enjoy it 30-40 years later. 😎

[@Brettwbeyer14]

this was also be true of the 90's and 2000's. yes there was internet and more things to keep us entertained than in the 80's, but there weren't things like the smart phone to distract us until the 2010's.

[@333perfection]

Yes I would agree. Have a good day 💚​@@Brettwbeyer14

The era of the great Hair Bands! This song was inescapable during the early 80's. It holds up pretty well.

Lay it Down and Lack Of Communication are both bangers from RATT!

"Morning After", & "Nobody Rides For Free" are underrated. 😎🤘

[@deelawson4551]

Love it!! I saw Ratt November 1st 1984,they opened up for Billy Squier! It was Awesome! One thing I missed about the 80s was the guitar solos..it seemed like every Hair Metal or Rock song had a solo!

[@kellypickle]

Hey man, I saw that same tour in Dallas at Reunion Arena Oct 13, 1984 We heard rumors about rat opening, but unfortunately, some band called Fastway opened. I was very disappointed that it wasn’t Ratt. Billy Squier was awesome though

[@kellypickle]

[@melissaford717]

​@viclagina347 I saw Ozzy in 1989, and the Bullet Boys opened. It was at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby, Pa and it was a pay-per-view concert. They got Philly booed big time. I'll never forget when the singer said something like 'You don't boo rock n roll' and the boos got louder. It was great. You take care 🙂

[@donnagent6046]

I love that song.

[@thewal1ofsleep]

An amazing piece of pop metal. Accessible and catchy yet still heavy. This used to be one of my karaoke jams. A thing which should be remembered is that Ratt were one of the early bands playing what would later be termed hair or glam metal. Quiet Riot, W.A.S.P, Motley Crue and Dokken are some other examples of "proto" hair metal (even though most of the early bands later adopted the full hair metal style, for better or worse). All that stuff was coming out in the 81 - 85 era right alongside Maiden, Priest, Sabbath, Ozzy, Scorpions, Schenker, Accept, etc. Guns N Roses first record didn't come out until 1986, three years after the first Ratt album (which included Round and Round).

[@richardbonner148]

There was a time in the 80's when people used the term Ratt 'n' Roll in reference to this band's music.

[@thomasallan1196]

There's a lot of hidden talent in the 80s glam scene.. if you look in the right places. Winger, Ratt, Whitesnake, White Lion ..

[@Willie_McBride]

So true about an enormous amount of talent spread throughout the ’80’s ‘Hair Metal’ scene. Not every band had full on musically blessed musicians’, and soooo many guitarists took what EVH & Randy Rhodes were doing & just did their own thing with it. Adrian Vandenberg, Phil Collen, Vivian Campbell, Rudy Schenker, Eddie Ojeda, C.C. Deville, Richie Sambora, and SOOOO many others. I graduated HS in 1984… so I grew up on, lived through, continue to reminisce about all of that stuff all the time. As a matter of fact, I’m going to listen to my over 250 song custom made “HAIR NATION” Spotify playlist right now!

Nobody Rides For Free is a later Ratt song that has a completely different sound, that I love. It’s on the soundtrack for Point Break with Patrick Swayze & Keanu Reeves. It’s probably my favorite Ratt song of all time, and that’s saying a lot since I own every album they’ve ever made! 😅

'Round and Round' is definitely the definition of a 'banger'. I've(G here, not sure if my partner T knows this song) always jammed out to this song whenever I hear it over the years now. Their most notable song for sure. Other songs I like by them are 'lay it down', 'way cool Jr', 'back for more', 'lack of communication', 'You're in love' and my second favorite by them 'shame, shame, shame'.

That's the thing about the 80s: the technology that too many modern artists hide behind didn't exist yet so everyone really could play and sing at a pretty good level. Some were obviously better than others, but it's not like today where if you have the look the record company wants they can fix everything else.

For me, the most interesting fact about Ratt is the lead singer is the nephew of Milton Berle. He was a major comedian, credited with not only becoming the first tv star, but was responsible for thousands of tvs being sold to first time owners. Also, he was rumored for having (not being) the biggest member in Hollywood, like 3rd leg big. The song? For me B+.
