David Friedman nailed it: there WAS something special about Ratt's guitars on the first two records. NO other Sunset Strip band sounded as good. This is why I'm here!!
Yup….and it’s incredible how many people don’t understand how much Beau had to do with that. Just like Ted Templemen had an enormous amount to do with EVH’s Fair Warning tone.
Absolutely loved this interview.. i have watch the In bloom interviews with Beau and just love hearing the stories and secrets.. I absolutely loved the Ratt albums. I was 15 when Round and Round came on the radio 83-84 and was blown away how cool that was to hear.. Bands like this made me into the guitar player I am today.. not to their level but a level of total appreciation. Great channel as well !
I loved Beau’s work with Gary Moore. I wish they would’ve done an entire album together. On another note, Stand Back is the tune Prince played synth on (2/8/83 was the session). Stevie said it took him an hour and he was gone.
Beau, that is an incredible story brother. I first listened to Ratt and was blown away. But, when I heard their mix tapes they sounded like average bar bands. They have their own very interesting back story, by the way, but the things you did to bring that uncaged lion into the studio and made something so refined is, well, genius! Although, as humble as you are, you might might say coincidence. Thank you for sharing this to the world.
Awesome show. I am really glad somebody brought up Robin Crosby, he was an amazing guitarist. But couldn't shine under the shadow of Warren. Very sad about what happened to him towards the end of his life.
I really enjoy watching and listening to this episode! I love everything Beau Hill talked about - Winger 🎸 !! It was interesting to hear stories about members of my favorite band Winger 🎶 Thank you guys and Beau!
Wow a very very rare interview w beau! There’s not a lot of stuff of him ot here. Very thankful foe you guys! He’s done soooo much good stuff I love my fav winger!
I’m here because of Warrant’s “Machine Gun” - guitars sound great and wanted to know more about the recording/producing of Warrant’s music back in the day. Should have recognized Beau Hill’s style since I’m a big Ratt fan. Beau also mentions Kansas - another fabulous band in another interview I listened to before finding this one. Thank you for doing this video.
I remember we got an inquiry from Beau Hill back in 2008 when my band High Road Easy released it's debut album. Pretty swell for a small german band self releasing (to this date). Cheers!
I have always maintained the same of Warren in that I always was both enamored and in awe of his syntax, the way he phrased his riffs was so novel and unique. I mean no one sounded like him in the way that he said things with the guitar. No one I ever knew thought or said that about him. It was always the same old cliches that he's so fast or he's so melodic, which are true and are things that I always liked about Warrens technique but, to hear Beau say it too is very vindicating for me ''
I’m so sorry I missed this interview. I would’ve ended up dropping $20K asking Beau question about recording. UGH! Anyway….Kee Marcelo was an incredible singer as well. His solo cd was amazing…
Love what Beau did with Ratt! Like to see Beau produce 1 more Ratt album if Ratt would get back together ! Thanks so much guys for the interview ! God bless you guys and all the Ratt n rollers on flat earth and savior JESUS keep us safe always!
Lyrics would definitely need to be changed. The Beatles also had Just saw her standing there..."well she was just 17..." Definitely not being made today
I’m sure Stephen evan knows he’s not a good singer. With that said. He has a great unique stingy type of voice that just makes you feel so dirty. In a great way. Haha.

Masterfull production on Ratts music. The doubling , tripling vocals.
Sonic sound.
I just love how down to earth and humble Beau is,
Invasion is his gold nugget! He knows it and we know it! The guitar sound on that album will always stand the test of time!😊
awesome show...Beau is actually going to be mixing/mastering my bands new material soon
That's awesome! Good luck!
That’s awesome! What’s your band’s name? Do you have any videos on TH-cam??
Thank you guys! Beau's records were some of my absolute favorites...
Excellent Episode , Great Job Guys .... and Thanks to Beau ! Would love to see more guest Producers .... Max Norman would be great .
Damn! I can’t believe I missed this. Love that Dave brought up Kix! Those are my boys. Ronnie and Bryan are awesome!
Groovus interuptis 😅 Thanks David, Marc, and Beau! It’s good to have producers and engineers on the show too. Have a good weekend! Stay safe :)
This is the stuff that makes you start writing a record in the middle if the night.
Quickest 2 hours ever!! What a great time! I love RATT and love hearing the stories. And just heard you’re going to have Billy Duffy on!!! F yeah!!!
Cheers fellas, good work! Thanks for your time-
Our pleasure!

Love the praise of Kee Marcello, love his playing
Agreed! Underrated player.
I loved Beau’s work with Gary Moore. I wish they would’ve done an entire album together.

The remixed version of Blow My Fuse is awesome! Wish more of those 80s bands would do that. Sounds massive!
All the best from Canada!
Great show and what a legend Beau is! Real treat!
Any chance to get Dan Huff on the show? :)
Thanks and hope so!

Great episode as always guys, thank you🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻🎸
Awesome stuff. Thanks guys!
I worshipped Invasion of your privacy. Got the record back in 86 after seeing Lay It Down vid on Night Tracks. That album cover is pure perfection

Amazing! Thank You Tone-Talk! 🙏🏼
You're so welcome!
Great interview i love these interviews with the guys behind the scenes
Wow a very very rare interview w beau! There’s not a lot of stuff of him ot here. Very thankful foe you guys! He’s done soooo much good stuff I love my fav winger!
Dave, the proximity effect on that mic makes you sound like a real guy playing at the Friedman booth at NAMM. You have arrived 🙌
Great interview w my old bandmate and great friend, Beau. Hey Earl :)
another really cool episode guys
I’m here because of Warrant’s “Machine Gun” - guitars sound great and wanted to know more about the recording/producing of Warrant’s music back in the day. Should have recognized Beau Hill’s style since I’m a big Ratt fan. Beau also mentions Kansas - another fabulous band in another interview I listened

Beau said all marshalls
Yes! Amazing song/sound/album!!
that debut Winger album was a marvelous example of a 1980's rock n roll production
I love also Winger's debut album 🧡
Agree those super champ amps were awesome!!
Loved Ratt....great first album
Everyone that works with Kee Marcello says the same about him. It's a mistery to me why he isn't much more recognised.
Marc I worked for you at RCI .I sang in a metal band ..love the show ..Lukather gave you props dude!!! Cheers Mike R
Hey Mike, I don’t remember RCI. What company was that? Thanks for watching!!! This is too cool.
I remember we got an inquiry from Beau Hill back in 2008 when my band High Road Easy released it's debut album. Pretty swell for a small german band self releasing (to this date). Cheers!
Great show guys....you really need to get Ritchie Zito on ;-)
Anything that guy touched had the platinum or gold sparkle..

awesome episode - if your normal rating is a 9 out of 10, this one's a 12

Flat earth?
why was everyone in the chat so obsessed with Ratt? I wanted to hear way more about Winger.
Because Ratt is better :)
Ratt sold many more records than Winger
Further confirmation from
Beau Hill on keeping Pro Tools offline and not upgrading. If it ain't broke don't upgrade!!!
Did Bruce’s class and another student was there because of Tonetalk!
“Seventeen” would not get made today.
Lyrics would definitely need to be changed. The Beatles also had Just saw her standing there..."well she was just 17..." Definitely not being made today
Watch the Chucky Lee Byrd sketch from SNL...hilarious take on this type of quandary for todays standards
09:00 the correct term is 'blow' LOL
Why not just get Warren on for an episode??
Wow we never thought of that! 🤪🤪 trust us, we have tried and hope he will come on one day.
Ghosted the Warrant records? I heard Lukather played some of those solos as well. How many did the Warrant guys play? haha!
As far as I know Warrant guys didn't play any solos at all on the first two albums.
@ Yes, that's true.
Mark Schenker thinks he can outdo Beau. Hilarious.
I’m sure Stephen evan knows he’s not a good singer. With that said. He has a great unique stingy type of voice that just makes you feel so dirty. In a great way. Haha.
