Steven still kicks FUCKEN ass,rock on brother 😂

[@rubenortega6088]

I cant believe i know 70 percent of these songs and im not a fan. Very cool set.

[@danhoopes507]

The whole band is on point. Stephen is back to singing great and whoever filmed this thank you. Awesome footage!

[@ExploreDFW]

Thanks 👍🙂🤝, appreciate the compliments on my recording efforts. The band performed very well

[@avolite719]

"Stephen is back to singing great" .... LoL. Take your fanboy glasses off.

[@SCOTTA1]

Agree

[@mrhyde2484]

Pearcy has one of the most distinct voices in rock. Watching this reminded me of how good that band was, so many good songs, so many great riffs.

[@nickframe11]

I was front row for this show... it was freaking amazing!

[@nickframe11]

Honestly. best part of the show was seeing how much fun Pearcy was having. You could tell he really appreciated the turn-out and energy from the crowd.

[@johndashnaw-to8if]

Saw RATT in 85 Bon Jovi opened, RATT kicked ass thru the 80s, Stephens stuggled thru most of the 2000s, last few yrs has sounded better and better, this concert is a testament to Stephen's hard work and taking better care of himself... 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@TheM7drummer]

I saw that Ratt/Jovi tour in Ft. Worth. Ratt was in top form!

[@julio_scissors]

Yeah man, I hitchhiked to the BonJovi/RATT show in Landover,MD. Good rock and roll and a ton of cute girls in the crowd!

[@johndashnaw-to8if]

@TheM7drummer saw them Dec 27th, at the Forum in Inglewood, CA.... such a great concert

[@tdub52]

Stephen sounds awesome after all these years. Would definitely pay money to see this live.

[@PlayitagainVHS]

Blas and Stephen fit in good together.👍🏻Notice how better they sound with Blas on drums and Stephen is moving around more on stage.The whole lineup works! Hats off to Stephen. RATT and Roll baby! 2024 is the year for RATT!!!👍🏻🙂❤️

[@sas197053]

❤❤ This made me so happy!! Absolutely love Ratt!! My first concert. Stephen Pearcy sounds great. Can’t thank you enough for posting this!! Ratt N Roll babyyyy!!!!

[@yvette968]

So cool seeing Blas Elias on drums. It did look like Bobby Blotzer in the smoke at the start of the show. I love Stephen Pearcy , loved his band Arcade also. ❤

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

Stephen Pearcy is on fire ! Looks decades younger ! Love his energy love the way he connects with the crowd...He was born to entertain !

[@jacoboflores9257]

Never thought I’d see Blas play these songs! Looks like it was a great show 🤘

[@sbrasi5]

It was today I learned Blas was smashing for this guy. It sounds fucking great!

[@endres98]

Wow 40 years and still killing it!!!! His vocals are awesome!!!! The band is killing it!!! And my favorite drummer Blas Elias,love watching him play ,such power!!!

[@sos13sunshine]

Great show. Thanks for sharing with us all. 40 years ago man does time fly fast.

[@74megadave]

I think this is Stephen’s best vocal performance that I have ever seen as a solo artist. The drummer is Blas Elias. I didn’t know he was drumming for Stephen’s band.

[@ExploreDFW]

Yes, both were awesome 👌

[@skirklen]

Thanks for posting this! I was there and it was great. I agree about Stephens vocals. Blas Elias is filling in for Scot Coogan who has been on tour with Ace Frehley. Blas is a beast on drums! 😎

[@ExploreDFW]

@@skirklen agree 👍 they were great!

[@Timeandspac]

I totally agree! Stephen performance was great, wishing to be as cool as him when I reach 67 😂, I’m 33 and I can only imagine how cool it was back in the 80s….

[@Brian-cm7iz]

That was a great show thanks for posting!

[@biffbifford402]

Wow. Stephen and this group of misfits are really bringing it. Sounding better than ever. Phenomenal players. Stephen is really having fun. You can see it. You can feel it. True sleaze rock legend.

Welcome 👍🤝, thanks for appreciating my efforts 🙂

[@monmixer]

Johnny Monaco highly impressed me. Rockin it dude. Great production on this show!!! Incredible for an obviously small stage.

[@gregorythomasfitness]

This is so great! For whatever reason, I never got into RATT when I was younger, but now, 40 years later, I absolutely love their stuff! I really wish I had given it a listen. I'm enjoying it now, though! Stephen Pearcy is a legend and still sounding great! 👍

[@joesaxon6566]

Dancing Undercover is seriously under rated, last REALLY good album they did IMO! Check it out if you haven't

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

Just want to thank you for recording this in 4k.The sound and the quality is spot on. Band sounds great with Blas Elias. All the songs sound just like the album all the band members including Johnny, matt, and Eric are playing at their best. Not only is there playing great but everybody looks good. Great addition to have Blas come into the band. Energy is all there and everybody's playing well. One of the best recorded concerts on KZbin. Once again thanks for putting this out 4K makes a huge difference. 🤘

[@ExploreDFW]

Thanks so much for appreciating my efforts. It is very straining on my neck , shoulders, back to capture the entire show in such high quality. The satisfaction comes from fans like yourself appreciating 👍🤝🙂

[@HeddleTown]

One of my all time favorite bands Ratt, and SP still sounds great even while aging just like we all do. Thanks for the film and upload boss appreciated from Canada 53 yo life long fan from day one! \m/

[@ExploreDFW]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@danielbotterill-wb6kq]

Considering he's almost 70 and recently overcame liver cancer (which is a death sentence for many) I would say Stephen is doing pretty damn well at this point. He's got a good band together as well, and I love the logo in the background. Does anyone really need a dysfunctional litigational RATT when you've got this?

[@jimtaugher1622]

Agree! And with this band behind him you can tell SP has all the confidence to belt it out.

[@jimtaugher1622]

Monaco is incredible

[@paulsanders1]

I have always loved Ratt, if I had one wish it would be for the original lineup to settle their differences and finally get back together; their energy, interplay and sound together was the best ever. Let's Ratt 'n Roll!

[@dennisroyer3454]

Still laying it down after all these years!!!

[@saingrimes]

Stephen sounds good. Blas needs to be the drummer forever! Band sounds Great!

Very nice to see an 80s Ibanez with the wizard neck. I've played that guitar for 40 years. The color is outstanding 🤘

[@kilgore5075]

Blas Elias takes this band to the next level… Johnny, Matt and Eric have always been solid… SEP is at the top of his game… well done fellas!!

[@motleyfan01]

Adding Blas on drums was excellent

[@rotadyma]

This is actually an all star cast that Pearcy has. Blas Elias on drums is one of the best, played for Slaughter. Matt Thorne on bass played for Rough Cutt. Johnny Monaco on lead guitar, played for Enuff Z'Nuff. Great band.

[@Boomer69412]

What a difference a drummer makes. Blas drives it

[@johnmcevilly5808]

Johnny doesnt get the recognition he deserves he is a superb guitarist

[@stevedamien638]

Thx bro. As far as i can remember all the live snippets from Wasting time with Jason channel it is the best crowd so far.

[@michaelmetal71]

it’s cool that Stephen Percy is still playing live I really wish him and the rest of the remaining members of Ratt would just bury the hatchet, the original bass player and lead guitarist and drummer are all still alive, and probably still playing somewhere why not just get them back and add Carlos Cavazos as the rhythm player and you would have almost the original lineup of Ratt from the 80s now that I would pay to see

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

SO true bro--get the original 4 plus Carlos

[@ChannelEleven59]

They have tried it many times and the old baggage creeps in. This is about the best you will get. This band is awesome and I am usually very critical of these hired gun types.

[@EarlSkakel]

I think we all wish that but the 2 major problems is Pearcy and Blotzer just can't get along and Demartini doesn't need the money due to his wife being part of I believe the Mars candy fortune so he won't tour unless it's the 4 surviving members of the classic 4.

[@eternalservant]

@@EarlSkakelDe Martini's deceased mother is the one related to Mars according to Blotzer.

[@bassist718]

It’d be great, saw them during the invasion tour! Too much baggage and ego between them. Just between Blotz and Stephen is enough to trigger a nuclear reactor, but it would be phenomenal!

[@donniebarrett2781]

Got Dayum!!! This is the BEST I’ve heard Stephen…this band line-up frikkin rocks baby!!! AND BLAS ON DRUMS IS WOWZA!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@cbbiny]

I wasn't a big Ratt fan. I did like some of their songs (Lay it Down for example). That said, much respect to Stephen for putting himself out there without backing tracks and bullshittery. He's willing to give what he's got without the electronic slight of hand. Like it, love it or not, at least it's real.

They need to get the 2012 Infestation Ratt lineup back on stage. Best lineup they had since the original one. This lineup is decent but most Ratt fans want to see Warren play these tunes again.
