kingzoso Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 (edited) Ratt was a band I grew up listening to. They were not the greatest band of the mid 1980's, but they were good and had more then a few decent songs. This being one of my favorites: Edited October 3, 2016 by kingzoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Where's the vomit emoticon when you need it? Can't believe they are still around. Truly one of the worst bands I ever saw in concert. Pure hair-metal poofery cheese. Canned-sound (sweetened with backing tapes?) and Stephen Pearcy's voice was atrocious...fingernails on blackboard.

ZosoAddict Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Warren Demartini is a very underrated guitarist, imho. There was a lot of great hard rock musicians in the 1980's that unfortunately were part of the glam thing. All of those bands, musically anyway, were just trying to do their best version of Zeppelin.

More like trying to do their best version of Van Halen-Kiss-Aerosmith. Hair-metal had nothing to do with Led Zeppelin, no matter what revisionists try to tell you.

The Rover 75 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Demartini can play, but is just in the wrong place. I do enjoy this kind of music, laugh if you want, however not this band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL6 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) I liked Round and Round because it's a good pop song (it's a solid go-to drunken/stoned song because of the vocal melody) but I'v never heard any evidence of either guitarist being any good. Sure they can play the thing but is there anything that blows people away? I'm open to references. Edited February 19, 2017 by FL6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xolo1974 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Ratt were absolute shite. I was a teenager when hair rock, or whatever the fuck it was called, was all the rage. I was already into Zeppelin and Roy Harper. Guns n roses were good though. When I went to the "Monsters of Rock" in Donington 91, it was AC/DC , Metallica, motley Crüe, Quuensryche and the Black Crowes. That was a proper line up, except for Motley Crüe. They stank the place out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengrass Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Well i still like some of their stufff. DeMartini was another underappreciated guitar player. That dude has some bad-ass riffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover 75 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I do like many of the bands from this era, but this is not one of them. The orig guitar player, I think it was Warren Dimartini had some good chops, but to me their songs felt empty. Perhaps it's the vocals, or perhaps they just aren't very good.

reswati Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 The best hair metal band were/are Twisted Sister imo.........fun with a mean streak to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
