[@MEdney511]

Warren D Martini one of my all time favorite guitar player’s

[@tinicha718]

So glad to see the three of you talking music again!!

[@sethmassing]

Underrated SP project, the Arcade band.

[@misterb1496]

Been a huge Ratt fan from back in the day and so cool to see Stephen still doing his thing. Y’all have been on a roll with the great guests, keep on keeping on!

[@dakotaescher1]

Ratt are phenomenal, not a bad song in the entire catalogue. I wish there was more music, records, songs.

[@roballen9157]

It was funny to me when Jim said to Don, that his internet doesn't work in the bathroom, and I laughed and thought, well Hillary Clinton's does... Hahaha 🤣😂

[@PierLessThanZero]

My Ratt 6 Pack: 6. Eat me up alive 5. She wants money 4. What you give is what you get 3. Body talk 2. Sweet Cheater 1. Top secret

[@sadboi7537]

RATT over Motley ALL DAY LONG. It’s not even a contest. As good as Mick is, Warren and Robin collectively put him to shame. RIP King.

[@gregparker6815]

I call them Motley Spew, used to somewhat like them but they are chumps and no class.

[@taranguapo]

Better songs too! Ratt and ROLL!

[@scottlosey4978]

1000 percent agree! But, I checked out of Ratt following Invasion just as I checked out of Motley after Shout. At about that time, I found Metallica and Bay area thrash so my tastes were changing.

[@AarosConcerts]

Without question!! Motley totally blows

[@MasterSumai]

Musically, yes Ratt, but Pearcy is horrible these days on his vocals. Almost like Vince.

[@carlschreffler3213]

One of best lines ever NOBODY RIDES FOR FREE "THE WATER WAS DEEP THE CURRENT WAS STRONG ,YOU THOUGHT HE COULD SWIM BUT I GUEES YOU WE'RE WRONG"

[@electricalron]

That is GREAT!!! LOL

[@sadboi7537]

The placement and ending of Point Break with that song is perfection.

[@Norcalrocker]

Out of The Cellar! RATT n Roll! 🤟

[@davidzabel5195]

A deep cut I really love is Between The Eyes.

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

yes! it's on my top 10 list

[@shinner65]

Don always seems to pick the hookiest tunes and had some great picks this week. Loved them. Alot of my favorite Ratt tunes.

[@JayBuff19]

Saw Ratt open for Squier, a lifelong fan since that night nearly 40 years ago. Ratt and Roll!

[@Castlehillmusic]

Jim: “Turbo what???” 😂😂

[@chadeckels]

When did Pearcy become a member of Fat Albert's gang?

[@irvbarkley]

Haha...nice

[@Bernz66]

Hey hey hey…..

[@WarrenLSoCal]

The box set is so cool! Ended up ordering it on vinyl and so happy I did. Not only is it an awesome package, the remastering of the albums sound incredible!

[@peace-and-quiet]

My B-day is next month. I had my husband buy me both sets (CD & Vinyl). Happy Birthday to Meeee! 🥳🎉🎁💝

[@dwaynestjohn5324]

I agree I got the vinyl boxset also love it.

[@aceannese]

Blabbermouth headline: "Florentine goes 'bareback'"! 😆

[@MichaelD26]

Love interviews with Stephen, he always drops some knowledge that nobody's heard before. He seems to be at a very good point in his life and I love how he's very active on social media giving us Ratt Bastards a look in to his private life. Ratt n Roll forever 🐀🔥☠

[@jerseyjoe1677]

Most people overlook their 98 album, which was I believe self titled it was yellow. That album is great front to back.

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

yeah, I like 'gave up givin up'... but I honestly dont remember anything else from that yellow album. Maybe I need to listen to it again after 20 years or so

[@tswilde8]

Your in Love, Lack of Communication, and Got you on the line are on my list.

[@matttebowofficial]

My top 6 Ratt songs: 1. Lay It Down 2. Never Use Lovve 3. Between The Eyes 4. What You Give Is What You Get 5. You Think You're Tough 6. In Your Direction

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

I chose 4 of ur songs u picked! Good to see u picked 'between the eyes' ! I thought I would be the only one... I posted top 10.. I can't believe u also chose 'never use love' like I did also! that's awesome

[@rickrobb6546]

Ratt................................... Rules

[@jessicamink7209]

Glad you got Stephen Pearcy as guest on the show! He's way cool and so is his first book!! 😎 I ordered the 2nd Metal Blade book! I met Brian at Ozzfest back in the day, he's a great guy! 🤘 Put him on the show!! 🎸

[@scottlowe7343]

Tawny Kitaen not only her legs on the cover of the EP but also featured on the cover of Out of the Cellar as well

[@aaronball9640]

1) Dance 2) Lay it Down 3) You're in Love 4) Shame Shame Shame 5) Loving You is a Dirty Job 6) Round and Round

[@rayreyes9610]

Saw Pearcy with Great White and Slaughter in Tucson in April. Awesome hearing some Ratt n Roll!!

[@aceannese]

Invasion over Cellar. Nuff Said!

[@aceannese]

I'm with DJ on this one.

[@mathewbiggs142]

Love the show guys but damn I can’t believe you guys didn’t put Slip of The Lip on your metal 6 pack list cause Stephen sings his balls off on that one for sure \m/

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

I kinda agree, but I made my own top 10 list n it didnt make it there either. Theres just too many songs to choose from. Its hard to make a top 10 list of RATT songs

[@T.R.M]

Spectacular interview, much respect for Stephen, his dedication and honor for Robin shows his musicianship is at heart..🙏😇✊

[@victormoreno554]

There was a advert for the second album that reads, "last year ratt took you 'round and round'. This year they're going to 'lay it down'".

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

20:21 'dangerous but worth the risk' I never cared for this song till I saw RATT in 1985 Invasion tour, and they opened with this song.. Great show, and the opening act was Bon Jovi back when they were kinda cool, on their 7800° Farenheit album (before they sucked)

[@guittarwizzrd]

I just keep hoping for a ratt reunion come on Warren.

[@treff9226]

That is on my mind a lot! You just know the magic with Warren would still be there.

[@BTBAM310]

1. Lack of Communication 2. Dance 3. Lay It Down 4. Body Talk 5. Back for More 6. Wanted Man

[@toms4442]

Kool interview!!! Ive seen Ratt 7 times over the yeara starting withr the in vasion tour and once with JizzyPearl and once with Stephen on his own, always a great show!!!!

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

I saw em on Invasion tour too! 1985 Great show.. Saw em in 2000 too but Pearcy wasn't there; but Jon Corabi was there playin Crosby's parts.. It really wasnt RATT without Pearcy, but it was better than nothing

[@Norcalrocker]

Eddie, your media room is sick! 🤘👌

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

1. Wanted Man 2. Lay it Down 3. You're in Love 4. Dance, Dance 5. You Think You're Tough 6. Lack of Communication 7. I'm Insane 8. Never Use Love 9. Back for More 10. Between the Eyes 11. Round and Round ( It's kinda hard to pick ur 10 fav RATT songs.. I had to add Round n Round bc it's a classic.. I've heard it too many times tho.. but it's still good, and it's the song that made me aware of RATT)

[@anthonycarosella5744]

Stephen Pearcy's bands Vertex and Vicious Delite were great too!!

[@ryan.max1payne7]

You should know by now is criminally underrated wish it got talked about more

[@jeffwaraksa2475]

I'm surprised no one had Shame, Shame, Shame in their top 6 although all the picks were great. Definitely one of my favorite Ratt songs.

[@JIF882]

I don't get it. Stephen said that there's no Ratt without Robin. Then, why keep the band going?

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

there's no Ratt bro.. Pearcy is just making a living doin stuff that he wrote with those dudes

[@JeffBisCamp]

Another Great Episode Bros!! Stephen's The Best !! 🤘😎🤘🎸🔥🎸🔥 Ratt'n Roll !!

[@Rob_Kates]

Too bad that Ratt is no longer together. I bought every one of their cassettes in the 80s. I hope you will have Tom Keifer on the show since I'm a big Cinderella fan.

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

yeah, like WHY can't these fkrs just say 'peace' and all get back together again??! wtf .. Robin Crosby is rolling over in his grave

[@terrestrialexperiment3646]

You guys are awesome! Been a fan since That Metal Show. Great to see you guys back! -TERRESTRIAL EXPERIMENT

[@PierLessThanZero]

Best show so far Love Ratt Pearcy sucha cool dude! 🤘❤️

[@gregsimmons694]

Out of the cellar could have had 7 singles come off of it!

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

I agree! it's kinda like Van Halen's debut album like that.. or even MC 'shout' album.. But radio companies suck

[@gregsimmons694]

@@vaekkriinhart4347 I agree buddy!Love out of the cellar! So many good songs on it and Warren solos were so good!

[@jeffcloser2814]

Best KZbin show going !!! The big 3 and producer Joe 👍👍👍

[@eblissreseller]

Great interview. Nice work all around ❤

[@robwallace802]

Best show since you came back..

[@treff9226]

Scene Of The Crime was always my fav deep cut from RATT! I still have fond memories of my first serious girlfriend cheating on me with my younger brothers friend.....ah....the pain lives forever.

[@davidlapradejr8882]

Going to see Stephen Pearcy Patriot Place can't wait

[@garyskadra5236]

[@jairotorres8472]

Lovin You is a dirty job..

[@terrestrialexperiment3646]

Also loved Jim as Bobby Fletcher when Crank Yankers first came out. He's so obnoxious. All of his prank calls with Special Ed have me rolling. Keep up the great work guys. I'll be joining the channel soon. Thanks for all you do!

[@inmyhouse11]

Another great and informative show this week getting insights on Dons bathroom habits and Jims love of barebackin.🤘🤘🤘

[@robertalsup6959]

Jim's favorite lyric: Knee deep in the hoopla! HAHAHA

[@drewdog7482]

We love you Stephen! ✌🏼 Best interview ever with the boys of TMS and the amazing, new That Rocks!!! These interviews and the music of Ratt has been a magical 🪄✨️ ride! 🔮

[@justinmoran6753]

Ratt my favorite hair band

[@JohnnyBeane]

Stephen Rocks!

[@raymiranda6940]

love this show

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

Ed mentions Stephen's battle with sobriety lmao Stephen is lit here.. F_ck all that shit. No one likes a quitter ;).. He's my fav frontman- no flash n bullshit, just cool af

[@LinkRocks]

Congrats on 30K!

[@anthonycarosella5744]

Infestation is from 2010 jim

[@cliffordhritz5215]

Lay It Down is brilliant!

[@tc68bird]

Love Ratt and I can respect Stephen’s situation. I would LOVE to hear more from Ratt with Warren though. Infestation was SUCH a killer record. Cavaso was a worthy 2nd guitarist!

[@clausm2203]

Great interview

[@MrGenXer]

Did Don ever explain what the hell he's doing in the bathroom?

[@danielneal8644]

Night Ranger should be the headliner. Appreciate Bret putting this together.

[@awesomebeard1973]

Lay It Down is totally #1 One of the beat intros ever with those drums .

[@ryan.max1payne7]

Yep absolutely. I always tell my friends how underrated the drums are in their first 3 albums

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

yeah and that bass. to me, it intentionally sounds like a heartbeat: thump thump, thump thump.....

[@rattnroll1989]

Lack of Communication is my top song

[@scottysky755]

1. Body talk 2. Lack of communication 3. Lay it down 4. Closer to my heart 5. Slip of the lip 6. Looking for love

[@tduke542]

Can’t wait for Stephen’s next book and want to know more about the residency.

[@jasonalba1365]

Top 6 Ratt songs for me. 1. Wanted Man 2. Nobody Rides for Free 3. Back for More 4. Body Talk 5. Lay it Down 6. The Morning After

[@garycarfagno7910]

RATT had the best deep tracks of any band of that era...probably because Warren's riffs were so insanely good, he can make any song a killer.

[@scottlosey4978]

Closer To My Heart and Between The Eyes are both killer

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

In that era it's hard to choose between RATT n Dokken of the same style of rock.. Motley Crue were cool too, and then they sucked after 1985

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

​@@scottlosey4978I actually mentioned Between the Eyes on my top 10 RATT songs!... They have so many good songs

[@Vbnklll]

❤ Stephen!!!!

[@torresroberto]

I haven't heard so many "U know" in my whole life as I did in this video 🤣🤣

[@peteadams9604]

The newest episode of 'Waste Some Time with Jason Green' with Whit Hertford, the kid from the "Lay It Down" video is excellent!!

[@crimsoncross3692]

Another THAT Rocks! 🤘 episode that Rocks!, keep'em coming...

[@carlschreffler3213]

Night Ranger is a live band you have to see them live I saw them many many years ago over 20 years ago at Battle Of The Bands at Junefest here in Vegas Jack and Brad are bad ass ,saw The original Ratt over 20 plus years ago at the Aladdin here in Vegas great show!

[@madman22444]

Tomb Mold BABY!!!

[@robertkallenbrun4656]

Wow!! Adam Ant?...and yeah, till the lyrics were said, my first thought was Madonna...lol...great stuff and thanks for the bathroom talk 🤘🤘😁

[@jerry2968]

I caught their setlist when they threw it into the crowd on the Infestation tour. I love that record it kicks major ass. Out of The Cellar is the pick because they were doing all but 2 songs off the album in there headline set on the last tour with the living original guys.

[@treff9226]

For sure, Infestation was a nice surprise, with Carlos Cavaso fitting in perfectly! Their heaviest album and strong from top to bottom. RATT fans who don't have or know about Infestation - get it yesterday! Great episode, cool to see Stephen doing well and still gettin' it done!

[@johnfletcher948]

In Your Direction rules ALL kids!!!!!!!

[@johnfletcher948]

Whats it gonna be rules ALL kids!!!!!!!!

[@ALIAN18]

Pardy Gras 🎉

[@gregsimmons694]

Bobby said he is up for a new Ratt album! Sounds more like Juan and Warren dont want to record new Ratt material!

[@ZKAttack]

Great video!!!!

[@marcbeil8342]

1 Back for more 2 Body Talk 3 Lack of communication 4 Givin‘ yourself away 5 Closer to my heart 6 Lovin‘ you‘s a dirty job

[@kkwok9]

Nice show!

[@willd4731]

Hey can you guys get tomb mold on the next show 😅

[@akbooman]

I’ve got all those cd’s when they originally came out way back then. Is the new box set redone for the new “hd” sound?

[@torresroberto]

@thatrocks! If I can't manage to be in the live videos ( 'Cause I'm working ), what would be the benefits of me having either of the tiers?

[@ACDC5150]

This was the toughest comparison one for me…2 classics

[@sirchromiumdowns2015]

I was thinking Madonna too, until Stephen sang Adam Ant's tune. I see the influence, in retrospect.

[@AZ-su2vc]

48:21 - always loyal to the 👑❤

[@glennawhiteman742]

I don't know if any of you guys can answer, But I noticed that Steve Augeri was on the roster. Did he perform any Tall Stories music? It would have been cool if he did. Just curious! I heard about this channel on the radio today! So here I am! 😀 btw as far as Ratt goes! My Top 3 is Way cool jr, Body Talk ,Lay it down.

[@jasondartey3412]

Party on dudes

[@tonythompson4192]

Smart creative successful rock and rolll

[@johnjohnon8767]

I have a hard time choosing the best Ratt song. There all good. Seen Steven last fall in stl, good show. Toured with the Cult, i think.

[@vicman1515]

Love Ratt and SEP!!!

[@karlanoble5244]

Love you RATT ROX

[@scottlosey4978]

From the top of my head: Wanted Man Lack Of Communication You Think Your Tough Between The Eyes Closer To The Heart Your In Love

[@84bradyj]

you guys should get rock related comedians on here like jim bruer!!
