DiMartini was in my top three favs with Lynch and Van Halen back in the 80s.
I still listen to that stuff. 👍

[michaele]

I'm 55 so I was the perfect age when all these bands came out. I love Randy of course but Jake is my favorite Ozzy guitarist and Bark at the Moon is my favorite album. In 1984 my best friend just got his licence and his mom bought him a '76 Camaro. He picked me up and I went on my first cruise and the first cassette he blasted was Out Of The Cellar. That album just came out and it was the first time I heard it. That was one of the coolest moments of my life. Every time I hear any Ratt song I think of that ride.

[peal]

I can remember listening over and over to “lay it down”, especially before I learned how to play it. The sound of his guitar, the crunch of the distortion, it to this day is one of my all time favorite guitar intros of that genre of music.

[crazywisdom]

I saw RATT open for Ozzy @ Bark at the Moon Tour. Ratt was on Fire. And Jake E Lee was INCREDIBLE !!!! Great Show.

[charliesmith]

This was a glorious time for all of us involved in music at whatever point in our lives 1982-1987 at the peak----incredible. I will always be blessed for this time period. We were so lucky great post, thank you

[roosternm]

I was a RATT fan as soon as I saw the Round and Round video. Walked down to Tower Records and bought the album. Warren blew me away. I was just starting out on guitar. The small guitar shop in Chula Vista CA where my dad bought me my first electric guitar was me and my friends hangout. I'll never forget the day I walked in and Warren himself was sitting in there signing autographs. Great guy and one of the most killer guitarists of the 80s

[OznerpaGMusiC]

funny DeMartini lived and jammed with Jake E. Lee who went on to play for Ozzy, while DeMartini also helped George Lynch learn Ozzy's songs to audition for that same gig

[tommcdonough]

RATT really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool, still one of my favorite bands of all time. WARREN is a guitar god, absolute legend. He will go down in history someday as one of the best to ever play. LEGEND.

[skidoo]

I still like the EP better than anything else they ever put out. I love the rawness of it.

[s_kid]

The EP and the first two Ratt studio albums are amazingly defining in my opinion. They had good records in the later era too and Infestation (2010) fits easily between Cellar and Invasion - I'm sorry that this line-up broke up later - but what they did in the early-mid 80s is something fantastic. That sound and those songs make them one of the top bands of the 80s. And it was a team effort because there were four songwriters in the band: Robbin, Warren, Juan and Stephen. I would add that without Robbin, Ratt wouldn't have been what it is, a lot of people still miss him.

[seangagnonProvidenceR.I.]

Filling in that gap was a genius move. Beau was fantastic on those RATT albums and definitely worked wonders with Stephen Pearcy . My favorite band from that era RATT .

[blackiesattack]

What a great scene and a great time... De Martini, Lynch, Jake, EVH, Holmes...

[fallenshallrise]

Every person involved seems somewhat convinced that they are the reason that Round and Round was a hit. The guitar player who started it, the other guitar player who added to it, the singer who wrote to it, but especially the engineer who mixed it. Maybe not Warren, he seems pretty humble and eager to give everyone credit for their part in it. In reality the whole combination, the whole collaboration, the co-writing, the song, the performances the production is what made it great.

[AndieZU]

The most relevant memory I have of RATT was during high school listening to an Out of the Cellar tape cassette on a Sony Walkman while jogging the neighborhood every evening. Round and round I went from there on out.

[auburnman]

In 1984 when that album came out, I was 14. I remember seeing the video for Round and Round on MTV and couldn’t get to Camelot Music fast enough.

I bought the cassette because I had a Sony Walkman that was welded on my hip. I wore that tape out that Summer listening to it while mowing lawns.

It was such a great album and one of the major influences that made me a metal fan for life.

I’m 53 years old now and still listen to as much 80’s metal as I can.🤘

[jayteesgear]

[edguyrocks]

Saw them on Dancing Undercover tour....Poison opener....

[MichaelD]

This is great, the interviews with Beau are fantastic as well. RATT was definitely my favorite from that time period 🐀🔥☠

[gokartracers]

Saw them with my 8.5 month pregnant wife. The baby tossed and turned from the incredible bass. Huge fight in the hallway as I walked her around to get away from the deafening noise. I had to elbow some poor kids up side the head, that started pressing us against the outside glass of the colliseum. He's 35 yrs old today.
