Ratt should have been even bigger than they already were!!! Out of The Cellar and Invasion of Your Privacy are both unbelievably great albums!!!!

[libsrcrazy]

Lay it down is one of the best riffs ever

[Mellownyc-gq]

Say what you want to say about Ratt but they had the best production quality on their sound, very underrated as musicians

[BodhiJohnKenobi]

Saw RATT with Lita Ford backstage in the 80’s after I helped replace the head light on their tour bus. Got all their autographs and a drum stick from both bands. One of my favorite concerts ever!

RIP Robin. He was the glue for Ratt and the driving force in sound song writing.

[GNXXRAY]

RATT was my favorite band of the 1980’s.

[jayteesgear]

Ratt was one of the BEST bands on Sunset. Period

[ericwitt]

Round and round was one of the best songs of my teenage years and I’ll never forget it guys thanks !!!!

[ThundarrZ]

Even though I grew up in the 80s, just recently discovered the greatness of music this band put together, and I would say in my opinion there among the top rock groups of all time, no question in their heyday

[jamiekirbitz]

So much respect for Stephen and his career. Kept his self straight, never any drama. Incredible band, and highly underrated even though they sold millions. Rip Robin!

[skiphudson]

I love this band.

I grew up on them.

They were part and parcel of all of us kids in Arkansas who just wanted to grow our hair and scream.

"Round and Round" is one of THE sweetest riffs in metal.

God bless Warren, one of THE Most badass guitar players in rock history. Like Jake E. Lee, he doesn't get nearly enough respect.

I love this band.

[jimbomorrison]

Ratt songs have awesome hooks and the guitar, wow!!

[wxwxxqd]

Steven is a rockstar! His band sounds great! He's not over weight and still loves to perform..

[philipwurm]

Great band! Saw them a few times in the early to mid Dimartini blew the roof off the joint!

My good old friend Bobby Blotzer told me great things about Ratt when I used to hang at his beautiful castle in Houston, Texas in 2005-6. We would hang out for weeks at a time there and man I miss seeing him as much as I used to.
Bob introduced me to The amazing Warren DeMartini, Stephen Pearcy, Robbie Crane and Carlos Cavazos. Every one of them were gems to hang out and talk to. I love RATT. Ratt is the music I listened to during my coming of age years in 83-84. I was 17 when I first heard Ratt and will always love the music. I told Blotz that my drumming skills came from him, Tommy Lee and Neil Peart. Then later, of course Mike Portnoy. Bob and I had a lot of fun hanging out. Miss ya skippy skipjack!!

I'd be $2500 richer with the amounts of times I have seen RATT! Thank you for a life of hard rock. I saw them in Gainesville, Florida, and Ratt opened for Billy Squire.

Ratt was my favorite band coming up as a teenager. Had all their albums. At almost 55 I still love their music. They’ll always have that sound that just kicks my ass into another gear. If you’re a fan and have listened to their music then you understand exactly what I mean. Continue to rest well Robin. ✝️🙏❤️👆👆👆

[Blitzen]

Was at a RATT concert in the 80s on the East Coast Hampton Va . Best show i ever been to, there were so many women there, thank you.🤪

[AviationNumberFann]

They are the quintessential hair band. I'm going to be seeing Pearcy and Demartini perform in July.
