Tawny Kitaen R.I.P. was on the cover of the album. She at the time was the girlfriend of guitar player Robbin Crosby who later died because of his drug abuse... Tawny was later married for about 2 years to David Coverdale from Whitesnake and Deep Purple...
Stuff like Ratt and Quiet Riot took metal to another level commercially. When MTV exploded, it was all over MTV and the radio and crossed over to regular people who normally didn’t listen to it. It was a wonderful time, and a whole different world back then
Having lived through the 80’s in my 20’s (Yes I’m that old, lol) I can tell you Ratt was one of the big MTV bands of that time and this whole album rocks. Duel guitars, great singer, great song writing, Ratt and Roll baby. Stay Cool 😎 and… \m/ Stay Metal \m/
It is an absolutely flawless album, packed with great hooks and endless riffs. Funny to think Ratt debuted on Metal Massacre Vol. 1 along with Metallica.
Being a vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist myself who played in bands in the 80's and 90's I did like this band. This album had some very good songs on it. imakaiya who is jamming very good to this song has the look of an 80's metal person. If I saw her back then at a concert or even at one of the shows that I was playing at myself, I wouldn't have been surprised because she would have fit right in. Great reaction!
Thanks for this video. You should also do some Motley Crue, Poison and Dokken. These 3 bands were huge and especially Motley Crue! There is not one band from the glam/Hair Metal scene that is not influenced by Motley Crue and let’s not forget the mighty Van Halen! They opened the doors for many of the Glam/Hair Metal bands!
RATT was my favorite band. Incredible group. Elite singer and musicians. However, as I progressed through highschool, I discovered and truly admired Rush.
Me personally I think that lay it down by Ratt is honestly one of their better songs in my opinion I really like the riff and the chorus it’s just a very catchy song. What I think you should react to next is this song called believer by Ozzy Osbourne because believe me when I tell you it has a very short guitar solo but it fucking rips.
Great reaction! Hard Rock? Suggestions: Whitesnake: "Love Ain't No Stranger", "Slow an' Easy", "Still of the Night"; Mötley Crüe: "Looks That Kill", "Girls, Girls, Girls", "Kickstart My Heart"; UFO "Only You Can Rock Me"; Van Halen: "Jump", "Panama", "Why Can't This Be Love", "Love Walks In", "Don't Tell Me (What Love Can Do)", "Amsterdam"; Guns N' Roses: "Welcome to the Jungle", "Paradise City", "Sweet Child o' Mine", "Rocket Queen"...Greetings from Brazil!!!
Hi my rocker, they were heavy metal when this came out, they were pioneers along Twisted Sister, Kiss and Quiet Riot, they make music videos about the social problems. At that time the heavy metal was banned for Government, churches, medium class, high class, other musicians and groups and also the media. 😡😡🤬🤬🤬As you can see EVERY ONE, because was a movement, was the clothes, the attires, the hairs the attitude. Was everything, the heavy metal came when the rock was dying, right on time. Many people criticized to AC/DC with Back in Black album and i think 43 years later that was fresh blood to our hearts, something new to our brains that we needed so badly. The first four years of the 80’s was magic. I enjoyed that kind of music and still doing it. I lived and still living after 43 years because of that NOISY music ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
Back in the day, the video for this song was the best thing on MTV. It had Milton Berle, who was a huge name in TV & movies, and WAY too old to be part of this music scene. There was some family connection with the band, and he looked like he was having a blast. Worth a watch Stryper is a great band to check out from the 80's - something like "To Hell With The Devil", and they are still killing it and heavier than ever!
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, R.I.P Robbin. Great to see younger people digging the music so many of us grew up on.
I think to really understand how DeMartini was as a great soloist you should go through the track, i especially like In Your Direction...the rhythm guitar riff breaks out into a beautiful solo by Warren.
Rat is an absolutely awesome band with severely underrated. If you start checking them out they have a ton of great songs with official videos that are just incredible but round and round was the start of it. I saw them in a smaller local Club called The Al Rosa Villa in Columbus Ohio when this album came out
Good pick for your first glam metal bad. We called them Hair Metal. They are my favorite band of all time and I’m 58 years old. I saw them live in the late 80s in Honolulu Hawaii and then I seen them here few years ago in Kalamazoo Michigan. Lay It Down is my favorite song but there is too many to list.
You know what's funny? Back in the 80s the Thrash Metal guys hated the Glam guys (who were cool and welcoming to everybody), but were dying to earn the respect from the Hardcore Punk guys (who were constantly beating them up) lol
Before many of us got into the real heavy shit, shit like Motley and Ratt were it, especially when you were first getting into this stuff. Out of the Cellar was a great album and they never recaptured that magic again
i bought all their albums but never told anybody i knew or listened to them if anyone else was around cuz of the way they looked. my cousins or friends woulda teased me endlessly
You should review the officisl videos for: Way Cool Junior Dance You're in Love I Want a Woman Nobody Rides for Free. from the Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves Movie
Oh man I remember when they used to play that song ALL the time on the radio and MTV. I never need to hear it again. If you want to get into some quality "glam" I HIGHLY suggest one of my all time favorite bands: HANOI ROCKS!!!
This song much like Breaking the Law by Judas Priest gained commercial success hence it's popularity. If you want a listen to something more dirty/funky/groovy try Lovin' You's a Dirty Job from the Detonator album. On your ending comments on music classification of GnR and Black Sabbath, etc. Listening to them as music of the past compared to newer music it is easy to understand your thoughts but considering most other music of the various eras bands considered 'metal' were def largely outside the mainstream in their time. The 80s became a metal revolution and still with the exception of a few bands (like GnR) and/or the odd radio friendly song most bands in the genre saw very little radio play throughout most of the 80s. The popularity of these bands was only carried by the fans (not even having the internet to share them back then) and the video music channels of the day MTV/Much Music. Heavier music started getting expanded airtime in the late 80s which paved the way for the grunge movement in the early 90s. Despite us older hardcore fans, without the video music stations having the stones to play the heavier music people wanted to hear music would not have developed the way it has since. As it did develop that way, music has continued to get louder/harder/more progressive/etc moving the goalposts on what a genre of music sounds like. That all said, as a perfect example. You just recently reviewed Judas Priest - Breaking the Law (1980), listen to (or react to) Judas Priest - Painkiller (1990) and you can see the massive evolution in just one band in 10 years.
Producers wanting a radio friendly sound really curbed the ferocity of the band, and kudos to them, it made them several million dollars, but they sounded much more METAL when you heard them live. My friends and I complained about so many awesome records from the era sounding really weak compared to their live sound.
My Michelle, and You Could be Mine were the closest to Metal. The verses to My Michelle were Metal, but the chorus towards the end was definitely just Rock and Roll
They were more a Metal band, not really a glam band....I grow up on the sunset strip in Hollywood Ca in 1977-80. They are a Hair Metal band! Glam bands were like the New York Dolls, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Sweet......Just Say 'in!
As an '80s metalhead I listened to all the stuff, from hard rock and glam metal to thrash and death metal. I never cared for the "thrashers vs (alleged) posers" wars back in the day. After all pop music was the real "enemy" at the time, not different styles of rock / metal. Nevertheless it was an annoyance when a band apparently "sold out" by becoming more radio friendly and commercial sounding. Which happened. Guns 'N Roses btw were considered sleaze rock when they appeared in 1987. Similar to glam metal but, well, "sleazier". Also hair metal as a genre never existed. It's kind of an umbrella term (maybe also a little derogatory) for glam metal, sleaze rock and other forms of melodic hard rock from the '80s.
You are beautiful and it's undeniable! Even figners, but that's not the point. I'm a long time musician and I haven't watched all your videos. if you haven't before, I can recommend some of your music
Sorry, it's just some kind of extreme, I watched you rocking to music and woke up my wife, although she has to get up early in the morning..... well, woke up partially, if you understand
It really hard rock not metal . Metal was still forming. This was just before Trash broke out Metallica Kill em all just came out at this point . But what I call the RUM DMC apocalypse happened shortly after this as the normal shifted to Hip hop more than rock .
This is their first big hit but honestly it's really not one of their best songs. It's the one that got them on the map and then they went straight up and they were awesome live
there is NOTHING like an 80's glam/hair metal/ rock / metal concert all of them were fantastic in the 80's... and yes i've been to modern concerts with the daughters = ummm not exciting at all.
I never knew this song exist until i became a fan of the Supernatural tv series. It's rocking and it's pretty good. The early Def Leppard, and the early Scorpions is good too. To me, Glam/Hair metal term is stupid, and bands that belong to this categories according to music experts were always make terrible music and songs (motley crue, poison, guns n roses, pantera and so on)
The line btw hard rock & metal is really blurred by the industry and the bands themselves. Glam metal is mostly pop songs w/ a metal flavoring. Nothing wrong w/ that. Even Iron Maiden has some of these pop song influences (Fear of the Dark, The Evil That Men Do, etc.). Everyone has their own tastes. Take it for what it is. Like it, great. Don't like it, try something else. No big deal.
All the best stuff does not concern itself with being categorized, even when music was not being manipulated, album sales tell the real story, those that want to hear screaming non melodic unrhyming nonsense are a very small minority.
I'll be honest with you. You're a beautiful girl. I'm even in love. Just kidding, I love my wife. But there's something attractive about you. Watch out! It's actually nice to listen to beautiful music with a beautiful girl. And for love, I have my own place.
I never got Ratt. Too cheesey for me. I like heavier hair metal. I really like Guns N Roses, but they are different from normal hair metal, in my opinion. They got called hair metal just like Pearl Jam got called grunge. The least grunge sounding band. Hair Metal is not real metal, IMO. Just like power, metal is not real metal. I am not big on genres. If I like something, then I like it. Some people won't touch a good band if it is part of a genre they don't listen to. It was really bad in the early 00s to be associated with some Nu metal bands like Limp Bizkit. System of a Down is one of my fav alt metal bands, but they did not like being labelled as Nu Metal. Linkin Park were labelled as Nu Metal, but they were more alt rock to me. I get why they were labelled as Nu Metal. The screaming and the mix of rap and rock together. Nu Metal came out of the alt rock/metal (Faith No More, RHCP, Alice in Chains, RATM) and groove metal (Pantera, Machine Head, and mid 90s Sepultura) subgenres. Faith No More had possibly the biggest influence on the whole Nu Metal subgenre. The band Gobsmack is named after an Alice in Chains song, and Slipknot is heavily influenced by the Groove Metal period of Sepultura, which might be one of the first examples of the Nu Metal.
I am very sorry, but please do not call Ratt….glam metal because it’s not. It’s rock ‘n’ roll…. It’s just heavy metal. No, such thing is glam rock 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
This is not metal this is rock. It’s very good but I would not put most of the glam bands in the metal category. By the way Ratt has much better songs than this one.😊
Glam "metal" (closer to pop in many ways) was a joke on the music public. A few catchy songs here and there, but men crossdressing into women's clothes and shoes, while playing pop songs with electric guitars, is to be forever shunned. If you're stuck on new content, look into.. maybe reggae or blues or something else worthwhile.
Out of the cellar is a 10/10 album amazing songwriting and guitar riffs and solos
Most definitely. I even think that Invasion of Your Privacy, albeit a slightly "softer" album, is a 10/10 as well.
Oh yeah! She should listen to the album all the way through. Masterpiece
Yes...every song
Death metal is my life, but Ratt has always been a guilty pleasure.
I think its because Warren demartini...lol
Ratt is better then all other "glamband" so i understand you
Death metal Ratt Head here.
Ratt is my all time fav band followed by Cannibal Corpse & Morbid Angel😊
Ratt n roll. Megadeth. God bless you. Jesus saves
I’m more of a metal core/groove guy but 80s hair metal touches a part of my brain like nothing else
@@gregsimmons694buddy on god man they all slap
All the Ratt deep cuts that are not the commercial radio play are Fire. 🔥🤘
Yes, and imo they have arguably more solid deep cuts than most other Glam/Hair Metal bands.
@lucypoopies I would say that Dokken is also a great example of a consistent catalog.
@@markcavich1871 Absolutely. One of my personal favorite Dokken B tracks is "Til the Livin' End.
Scene of the Crime!
Tawny Kitaen R.I.P. was on the cover of the album. She at the time was the girlfriend of guitar player Robbin Crosby who later died because of his drug abuse... Tawny was later married for about 2 years to David Coverdale from Whitesnake and Deep Purple...

Got that right
I just discovered this band like a week ago lol. Closer to My Heart is another great one by them!
Ratt n roll. God bless. Jesus saves

Stay Cool 😎 and…
\m/ Stay Metal \m/
Well that was nice, you got through a song "1st." before commenting. Yes I'm a "hair metal" fan too.! Check-out "Body Talk" by Ratt as well.!
It is an absolutely flawless album, packed with great hooks and endless riffs. Funny to think Ratt debuted on Metal Massacre Vol. 1 along with Metallica.
One of my favorite bands as a kid back in the 80`s together with Kiss and Mötley Crue. Before I discovered Metallica and Slayer:)
God bless all the ratt n rollers. Megadeth- rattleheads! Jesus saves
Every single 80's glam/hair metal band sounded absolutely fantastic live in their hey day
Being a vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist myself who played in bands in the 80's and 90's I did like this band. This album had some very good songs on it. imakaiya who is jamming very good to this song has the look of an 80's metal person.

GREAT analysis, imakaiya! 💯❤🎸🐭
warren d is fantastic with his solos, youre in love solo is one of the best ive ever heard
Best glam rock from the 80s, first 2 albums are top rock n roll just fine riffing and overall song writting
Love Ratt! Even their 2010 effort Infestation was definitely reminiscent of Cellar, Invasion and Dancin'.

Definitely. They had a ton of official videos that were really well-made.
Saw them live twice in the 80’s 😤😎🤘🏼
Ratt and def leopard got me into matal back in 1984 along with dio AC/DC wasp
Back in the day, the video for this song was the best thing on MTV. It had Milton Berle, who was a huge name in TV & movies, and WAY too old to be part of this music scene. There was some family connection with the band, and he looked like he was having a blast. Worth a watch

poson by alice cooper was been? and cinderela, and good glam is....all of Mötley Crüe
i bought all their albums but never told anybody i knew or listened to them if anyone else was around cuz of the way they looked. my cousins or friends woulda teased me endlessly
You should review the officisl videos for:
Way Cool Junior
Dance
You're in Love
I Want a Woman
Nobody Rides for Free. from the Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves Movie
I´ll stick with Jim below - it is a 10/10 album!! So much great stuff on these albums!
Ratt n Roll
Ratt is actually from San Diego.
Oh man I remember when they used to play that song ALL the time on the radio and MTV. I never need to hear it again. If you want to get into some quality "glam" I HIGHLY suggest one of my all time favorite bands: HANOI ROCKS!!!
🤘😎 Rock on my friend
80's da bess!
Ratt n roll. God bless. Jesus saves!
Such a happy song about Heroin addiction ( tighten our belts , abuse ourselves)
Thanks!

Warren DiMartini was a hell of a guitar player, too bad he never did much with it beyond Ratt, he was capable of much better
ratt is awesome great band i always liked the episode of my name is earl this song was in it
Lyrics are safe and that was a sign of the times. Okay. Someone needs a deeper dive into that era. That’s just absolutely ridiculous
1984, the best. Dokken Tooth and Nail and this!
You should listen to Ratt “ eat me up alive”. That’s more of a gritty song and heavier.
Riff Gods!
Love that LA metal!
Producers wanting a radio friendly sound really curbed the ferocity of the band, and kudos to them, it made them several million dollars, but they sounded much more METAL when you heard them live.

My Michelle, and You Could be Mine were the closest to Metal. The verses to My Michelle were Metal, but the chorus towards the end was definitely just Rock and Roll
The actual music video helped fuel MTV when they were a music station. Warren can play though 🎸
Saw them live with Bon Jovi as openers
Ratt will ALWAYS be awesome.....Warren D Martini
They were more a Metal band, not really a glam band....I grow up on the sunset strip in Hollywood Ca in 1977-80. They are a Hair Metal band! Glam bands were like the New York Dolls, David Bowie, Mott the Hoople and Sweet......Just Say 'in!

im still waiting for pearcy to tell me why
And nice T-short
If you want grit listen to Ratt - "Sweet Cheater".
You are beautiful and it's undeniable! Even figners, but that's not the point. I'm a long time musician and I haven't watched all your videos. if you haven't before, I can recommend some of your music
L.A. ! DELI !!
I very, very like Megadeth and Mustein)))
I love Death Metal. I hated glam, but I did like Ratt. Hard to admit.
I think that Warren make this "glamband" better then others ...catchy as hell and Great riff...
Dokken - Kiss of Death!!!!
Should pop some Winger and Whitesnake in your earholes.....👍
I like it 👍 never play Bon Jovi please 🙏 THANKS Black Sabbath started this thing we call metal they are the godfathers
Ratt could have been another Van Halen but they blew it repeatedly
5 platinum albums & endless headlining arena tours later…
I always thought that the vocals were the weakest part of this band & Lead Guitarist Warren DiMartini was the MVP!!
MESHUGGAH IMMUTABLE ALBUM REACTION NEXT PLZ
Sorry, it's just some kind of extreme, I watched you rocking to music and woke up my wife, although she has to get up early in the morning..... well, woke up partially, if you understand
It really hard rock not metal . Metal was still forming. This was just before Trash broke out Metallica Kill em all just came out at this point . But what I call the RUM DMC apocalypse happened shortly after this as the normal shifted to Hip hop more than rock .
This is their first big hit but honestly it's really not one of their best songs. It's the one that got them on the map and then they went straight up and they were awesome live
there is NOTHING like an 80's glam/hair metal/ rock / metal concert all of them were fantastic in the 80's... and yes i've been to modern concerts with the daughters = ummm not exciting at all.
Facebook page??
I never knew this song exist until i became a fan of the Supernatural tv series. It's rocking and it's pretty good. The early Def Leppard, and the early Scorpions is good too. To me, Glam/Hair metal term is stupid, and bands that belong to this categories according to music experts were always make terrible music and songs (motley crue, poison, guns n roses, pantera and so on)
Supernatural had a great Soundtrack... Kansas, Journey, Scorpions, Der Leopard, AC/DC, Rush, Allman Brothers, CCR, Billy Squier,...
lizzy borden >me against the world $ britny fox > girl school are 80's glams too try n lesson
The line btw hard rock & metal is really blurred by the industry and the bands themselves. Glam metal is mostly pop songs w/ a metal flavoring. Nothing wrong w/ that. Even Iron Maiden has some of these pop song influences (Fear of the Dark, The Evil That Men Do, etc.). Everyone has their own tastes. Take it for what it is. Like it, great. Don't like it, try something else. No big deal.

Ratt was ok... Van Halen was the greatest glam metal band of all time!
You just don’t get it at all 😂🙄
ITS NOT GLAM METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬. Just saying I wish people would STOP CALLING IT THAT!!!!!
Ratt is not glam
I am very sorry, but please do not call Ratt….glam metal because it’s not. It’s rock ‘n’ roll…. It’s just heavy metal. No, such thing is glam rock 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
