80's hair bands beat the heck out of anything that is played on the radio today. the music today can't even come close to being as good as music like this.
I grew up in the 80's, when this kind of music ruled. Everything was so huge - the sound, the guitars, drums, lights and the stage shows. Rock was larger than life - if you picked up an instrument you dreamed of being a rock star. Even if you didn't aspire to be one, the music always made you feel like one. When you went to the mall, music stores buzzed with excitement, and played rock! I remember wandering into any record store when I was 10 years old, and would always get chills by the the latest music that was being played LOUD - the sound of a heavy rock guitar riff that made me want to jump six feet in the air.
Defiantly a great time for music. When artist actually played their instruments and didn’t have a music machine with downloaded tracks. Musicians with actual talent.
To paraphrase, I, too, grew up in the '80s. In my opinion, even though it was pioneered by Kiss and Alice Cooper, the '80s "carried on the tradition of the concert spectacle." Who could forget the rock/metal magazines: Metal Edge, Hit Parader, Circus, Hit Parader's Heavy Metal Hot Shots, and the mini magazine: HIt Parader's Heavy Metal Heroes, and from England: Metal Hammer. In my opinion, '80s WERE, and ALWAYS WILL BE, the "PINNACLE OF CIVILIZATION!"
You know it!!! Was there.this album came out our graduation year 88’ while good my favs invasion…everything was better back then ,people actually looked u in the eye when you met someone, if you went out& your friends missed you, they would hafta try to track you down calling mutual friends…cells phones destroyed everything, and when they put a home computer into a cell in 2006/7 and social media was invented….it really was over..take me back to 85’ please.
And the ladies were actual ladies, lol....and Bud Light was Spuds McKenzie. And the cocaine had zero fentanyl. 😍 RATT, RUSH, REAGAN and ROCK N ROLL....simply da best.
@@gordocarbobrings you right back to the way it was. I was 12/21 throughout the 80's great time to be young, polar opposite of today's world. Ratt really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool, still one of my favorite bands of all time. Us that were young in this era were truly lucky. Peace..........
There will never be another time like the 80's, musically speaking. I feel extremely fortunate to have lived that era as a teenager, many great memories. RATT, one of my favorite bands ever. I still listen to them constantly, and for a split second, it feels the way it did back then. And then, came Grunge, that's when I knew the party was over.
Today's technology will prevent this era from happening again. We have to reset our human civilization. Start ALL over. Today we have AI that's slowly taking over. All music will be fake, repeated and un-human.
Seriously. Nirvana, Alice in chains, pearl jam,... Did not like ANY of them. Now that I think about it I think that's one of the big reasons I never got into that crap is because it ushered in something that was just straight up depressing and I just personally never liked. Everything was always sad and gray and gloomy, but I guess if that's all you knew being from Seattle then so be it. Crazy how pretty much every one of those kind of bands had something wrong with some kind of drug abuse, addiction, or suicide, and these guys are still out there killin' it.
@@jeremybettis8446 Couldn't Agree with your Statement more. And for a Guy who Loves Seattle ( Mt Rainier, Killer Whales, Space Needle), to me there is only 1 SEATTLE BAND- And that is Ann and Nancy Wilson of HEART. Long Live Real Music- Van Halen, Huey Lewis, Belinda Carlisle, Bryan Adams, and Especially DEF LEPPARD and RATT!!!
@@jeremybettis8446 I agree with most of what you say but let's not act like hair metal wasn't just as addicted to drugs lol.. The difference was these guys did hard drugs to add to the fun and the grunge scene used hard drugs to escape their shitty outlook on life. I agree tho this era was so much more fun and I hate that people discount hair metal because it had a carefree attitude.
I just looked up where this video was made because I swear to God I went to highschool with most of these people and imagine that fimed partly in 89 at the palace of Auburn hills, I knew it hahaha rock on boy's what a time to be alive.
I was a teenager when this came out, and yes, it was just as awesome then as you have heard!!! I want to give a big shout out to anybody who was in middle school/high school around 1988. ❤ We lived it, loved it, and have the memories to last a lifetime. I also want to send love to anybody who is in their teens and twenties right now who loves this music. Just remember how much the older fans love you guys for daring to be different and check out great 80's music. You are an inspiration! ❤
I'm 22 years old and I've been a fan of the 80s since I was a kid when my dad showed me his favorite band, Scorpions. Then I started checking TH-cam for music and here I am. I have always been a fan of those years, but especially of Heavy Metal. Not long ago I was lucky enough to work selling Judas Priest merchandising, my favorite band of all time, and they let us go in to see the concert in short periods, but my boss allowed me to see the entire concert and the truth is, WOW, I knew that already They are very old and I probably wouldn't have the opportunity to see them but I was there, crying like a child with the excitement of seeing my idols. Every time I remember it my eyes shine, It was Magic. Greetings from Spain.
The girls are still there and some bars are still kinda cool..but they’re too busy on their phone to actually talk to anyone because instagram and tik Tok our way more important…then looking someone in the eyes and making a friend..the invention of mass produced cell phones wrecked it for society…and the home computer and social media added to that phone in 2007…finished us off.
I was in high school in the 80s and this was the type of music the kids were listening to at the time...young and free considering what's going on in the world today.Oh by the way I still listen to Ratt in my late 40s.
I'm 52 and miss these days so much! These bands and their music kicked ass! It will never die as long as Hair Nation is playing it! My 11 year old son will not listen to anything but Hair Nation and the Boneyard! He's well versed in all of these bands and knows the music word for word. I'm very blessed!
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. RATT is still one of my favorite bands of all time. R.I.P. ROBBIN.........
Many of the Ratt vids were on and off because of the legal rights Blotzer went to court about and ended up losing,,Well hopefully Warren does not do the same in the future
I can't believe nobody has tried to cover this song. The lyrics are so well written you couldn't make it sound bad if you tried. Highly underrated song.
Well it is hard to make a cover which sounds original when you are covering 80’s songs because they all sound amazing and there is really nothing you can do to make them better. It is not like covering songs from the 60’s or 70’s which you can give a spin on as they were pretty bare bones for a lot of them. For example it worked when 80’s bands covered old stuff because they cleaned them up and improved old songs such as Quiet Riot with Cum on feel the noize, Britny fox with Hair of the dog, Kiss with god gave rock and roll to you II, Mötley crüe with Smoking in the boys room and Guns n roses with knockin on heavens door.
By sheer coincidence I had to stop the video as I'm at work so I could come back to it and play it. I stopped it at that mark. I agree w/your sentiment, that smile and that girl is beautiful. I wonder who she is and how she is today now an early 50's woman that might not even know the video w/her in it exists. I'm so glad I was around for the 80's and in high school for it, it was a magical, awesome decade. I miss the heck out of it.
I am 48..and yes. Grandma..lol. My grandkids listen to the hairbands and love it. Yes, back in the day I was a hot blonde with big hair. It was the best of times
I will always cherish this period of my life🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Just like pretty much everyone else in this scene - I had a blast 😀😀😀 This decade still resonates to this day 30 years later and I am not surprised. “We are having a party and everyone is invited”
Yo, and we didn't need to put up silly "all are welcome here" yard signs to prove our wokeness. Everyone was welcome, to party, to mingle and rock out....and more!
Absolutely, 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........ Part of me will àllways be stuck in this era and I'm good with it.
LIKEWISE! I'm, STILL, "in the dark" as to WHY A LOT of rock/metal fans chose to leave or abandon the-then 24 hour rock/metal party to "welcome" the God-awful grunge movement/era?! Well, THANK GOD GRUNGE IS DEAD SO THE FANS CAN GO BACK AND ENJOY LIFE!
We didn't give it up. Music was completely controlled by what the suits at the major record labels would publish back then. When they decided grunge was the next big thing, they closed the door on all those great 80's rock bands.
I agree. I saw it all and can't remember a thing except what an awesome decade. Hell I won't even be able to remember tonight now that I've got started on the RATT
Every weekend .. Meadow lands arena new Jersey or Madison square garden..1980..1992...wow..every concert...gosh I can't count...the best times.. including 70s...1975 my first concert..Kiss...
The 80's will always be the best and most rocking decade ever, plus this video screams 80's with all the awesome music, and hot girls with big hair, i sure miss me...........
I was at this concert, recorded at The Palace of Auburn Hill in Michigan... what a great memory... wish I could go back and live this memory all over again... when music was at its best and the world had a moral compass
I graduated in 88. I miss this time so much. The music, movies, the big hair girls. What a time i had in my teens. 70s and the 80s were the best of times. Today, even with all I've got, doesn't come close. It was a time of freedom, peace, and easiness. If you weren't lucky enough to be there, i dont have the words to explain that scene. A different and badass time.
I love the solo in round and round when they do it live and you hear each dive bomb separately as they come out of the solos...seen it a million times and I still love it..both have a distinct but great style
The saddest moment, when we knew things were going south for Robin, was the live performance where they were soloing and he was one fret off from Warren and it sounded like air raid. No unison and everyone on stage stared at him but continued. It's on YT.
i'm 24 and i try my best to spread the word on good music, but no one really cares. I wish i would've lived in the 80s man, i don't even have anyone to share cool music with
We need A Back to Rock music revolution Back when music was part of our life's 80 music should come back In my reality it's never has gone away I'm listening to it every day above the ground 3:243:26
It was so good and such fun that it drove itself into the ground and self destructed. Like driving a Corvette off a cliff. Cool as hell while your airborne but ground coming up fast.
Whew... I was a high school senior when this album came out. Saw the tour with Britny Fox and Kix, in Philly. Loved this tune and yes, all the girls were this cute back then.
Filmed at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan. I just uploaded the full audio show of the concert in my channel. After listening to the concert, and watching this MV. It's nice to picture what it was like being at the show. Really cool. Ratt 'n' Roll \m/
I'd love to know who the female announcer person is. i graduated in 89' so the 80's were my formative years and goddamn the 80's were awesome! I work with a guy who was born in 90 and when he asks "what was it like in the 80's? I tell him....go pull up this video and you get your answer. Now I"m 49 and i'm like...WTF? where'd the years go? So many beautiful women in this video, presumably all now mothers in their 50's, for me it's the kiss at 2:10 and that smile at 2:18 that just seals it for me whoever and wherever they are I hope they're well and no doubt unaware of this video.
I'm almost 60 and still rockin to 80 hair bands. Thank God for Sirius radio listened to hair nation the whole drive to Florida from Connecticut. We keep the 80s spirit alive!!!
As a person who was slightly younger than you are when this song came out, yes, I see what you mean. However, there was still a lot of bad, just like any other time. You didn't have cell phones. I didn't have one until 1997 or so. We used pagers. Why? Because a cell call was 1.00 a minute, when you might have made about 5.75 an hour. A tank of gas around 1990 was about 20 bucks. On a big car (I had an 81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme), you'd give them 20 and get a few bucks back from dead empty. In a major city. Smaller towns were cheaper, but you couldn't rely on the quality of gas. If it sits it can make the car noisy or smelly (exhaust). Kids were big on FM radio. Songs I heard a LOT of are "Steppin' Out" Joe Jackson "Separate Ways" Journey "Oh, Sherry" Steve Perry (sang for Journey) "Round n Round" Ratt "Here I go again"-Whitesnake It strikes me as odd that the girl in the Whitesnake videos is dead now and she's only a bit older than me. We hung out at the malls a lot. It wasn't a big thing to drive as a young teen (16, tho lots of kids learned early on farms at 12 or much earlier). But taking a bus or train was pretty safe in most areas. Cars were made extremely solid. My mother had one in the Olds, and there was one dent, while the other guy's car was totaled. There was still lead in gasoline up until around 1980. The Blues Brothers mentioned it in the movie. That was a big movie for Chicago kids, as well as 16 Candles and the Breakfast club. They made little rubber band bracelets in different colors that were big, as was Swatch (watch) and Benneton clothing. There was quite a bit of neon colors and purple. Jordache jeans and Gloria Vanderbilt. Reebok high tops like Jane Fonda wore in workout videos. Also Nikes, but they look different than now. Steve Perry had some in a live Journey video... Sounds: expensive keyboards were big. Yamaha made a DX-7. It was ubiquitous in those 80s movies. Mad Max. Trading Places. Electronic drums were needed and VERY VERY expensive. The early Simmons ones you see in Total Eclipse of the Heart were probably 4 THOUSAND dollars back then! Nobody used their cymbals, b/c they were AWFUL. Some used a Linn drum.machine, too. They used acoustic cymbals. Which were much better up until fairly recently. Now, you'll get a very good cymbal sound, but the Roland v-drum set can be as much as 7 thousand dollars! They make smaller ones, but I still prefer acoustic. If you get a chance to learn music, DO IT. Most of us up here wish we did. Girls also like musicians and it keeps you out of trouble. It'll be easier to learn as you're young. Encyclopedia Brown, Choose Your Own Adventure and Sweet Valley High books were all big. .Atari of course. But I much preferred the ColecoVision. Much better graphics. 8 bit! Lol Spencer's gifts was big at the mall. Bookstores. We used to drive around with kids on the hood of the car on the mall rood. Literally hanging on by our fingertips! Nobody ever got hurt, tho. I knew a kid who used to jump off the garage. Don't do it. You mess up your back now, and it'll haunt you forever. Trust us stupid old people (way too young to be boomers, tho). TV. MTV was new in 1980. It. Was. HUGE. I can't even tell you. Actual music videos 24/7. 1st song was a horrible tune called...Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. Pink Floyd the wall was also huge. The movie as well as the song/video. If you get a chance to see The Wall show, DO IT. Def Leppard. Motley Crue. Btw, Roderick's band "Loded Diper" in Wimpy Kid books was from those bands. We recorded from cassette tapes. CDs were out, but 1 disc was like 4 hours of work. About 20 bucks. A tape was about 7 or 8 bucks. 1st CD I bought was Black Sabbath hits. It was 5.00 in the bargain bin. Record Stores were big. Tower Records. Peaches. You had to go THERE to buy tickets or call and the line was always busy. People waited overnight and it was actually fairly safe. I never heard of anyone stealing or molesting anyone that way. People worked out in health clubs. Jane Fonda was a poster child. So was Suzanne Somers (3's Company). Benny Hill was big. M*A*S*H was huge. Bob Newhart show. All in the Family. Cheers. The Cosby show. Different Strokes. Facts of Life. Married with Children. Lots of cartoon reruns. Like Pepe LePew. Which was my favorite and it was extremely old THEN! Like 1950! Or more. Oh, Toto was huge. Africa. Wow. When that was NEW. The band is full of studio players. Many are dead now. Legendary drummer Jeff Porcaro died of a cocaine overdose/damage to his heart from using cocaine. So, never, EVER do drugs. If someone suggests it, it's time to go. Just trust us on that. Cocaine doesn't have a "safe" amount. It can kill you at any time at any amount. Even the first use. A lot of people did pot and drank, but it wasn't so strong as it is now. You never know what ELSE someone will put in it to addict you on purpose, so don't go there (fentanyl). Learn how to fix everything yourself. Asap. Nothing more useful than your own tools and knowing how to use them. It's all online. Just make sure the person is reputable first. Not just some celebrity. I remember very early computers when a jpeg via email was a HUGE mess to do. I remember thinking, "This'll never take off..."
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823- Don't forget the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"... that movie was ALL 80's 😁for sure!! But otherwise, I really like you're comment, it's simply a stated truth!! While I was reading it, I was remembering my own experiences while growing up in the 80's and man....what a great time I had then, and now reliving it through you're comment once again
Dunno where some of these people grew up. But, where I'm from we blasted these songs through pioneer speakers and burned a shit load of gas cruising the streets. We didn't have a care in the world about anything. I'm sure in some areas it was different. But, in middle America we had a blast.
Warren and Robin are not given enough props for how good their harmony leads are. I saw Ratt a few times in the '80s and they always put on a killer show. Both of them would do a lead harmony solo during the show.
Filmed in Detroit. Another Band that needs to be in the Rock Hall of Fame yesterday!!!! Stephen "never miss a party" Pearcy was one of the best front men ever.
Ratt really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool, still one of my favorite bands of all time, was like 20 when this was released, this video takes you right back to the era. GREAT time to be young. Peace......
@@tommcdonough6086 I actually got misty-eyed watching this video --- reminded me when I was a wild teen in the 80's and me and my buddies would go to a rock show and get a nice buzz and try to pick up chicks LOL --- so much fun being a kid back then, and today it seems to depressing to be a teen

Ratt was just a prodigious pile of glittery thunderous magic! They were So 70's melodic and rough and tumble frenetic 80's glam rock Or Metal with raunch or snappiness. Just unbelievably fun and groovin Hard..
LIKEWISE! In my opinion, (back then) things were or life was great-until that "bad apple called Kurt Cobain reared his ugly head and, literally, SPOILED THE BARREL!" In my opinion, in other words, we TURNED TO or RELIED ON MUSIC to "HELP US BOND with other rock fans and to ESCAPE THE STRAINS AND DEMANDS OF LIFE" and NOT THE OPPPOSITE! THANK GOD HE AND NIRVANA ARE GONE!
Actually, hard rock killed itself, with the help of record execs looking for the next band that sounded like _________(insert any top band here). They signed so many generic sounding bands, it flooded the market and watered it down. People got tired of it. I know I did. I lived it. I have come back now though to loving this music again.
+AngelofAnguish I wouldn't say Cobain or any of the grunge bands killed it. Nevermind is a great fucking rock album. It's just a different style, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Of course I still love the 80's metal bands, but you have to admit the 90's produced a lot of good music also. Both the 80's and 90's are far superior to today's music. As for what happened to rock, I've heard people claim it was the internet and the loss of royalties making it less appealing for people to spend thousands of hours mastering the electric guitar. It was most likely multiple causes for the decline of 80's rock. Don't know if it will ever reemerge, but I hope it will one day.
I "hear" you! The thing that I find ironic or interesting is that if (modern) bands like Rage Against The Machine, Marilyn Manson, Slipnot, Pearl Jam, Melvins, and Green Day, and supposed to be the "future" of rock/metal, how come or why do they take SO LONG to put out new music-despite using modern or "cutting edge" technology? Not that I care, because I DON'T (to be HONEST, I wish they'd ALL GO AWAY!) but, "(just) out of curiosity." I mean, I go to amazon(.com) and a local music store, here in Seattle, called, "Silver Platters," and I see new music from ("old school"-ers like) Accept, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Scorpions, and Iron Maiden, to name a few. Not only THAT, A LOT of the "old school"-ers are STILL performing concerts (which I, proudly, "salute")! But, WHERE ARE the modern bands?!
The 80s where the best. Weekend concerts. The house lights dim and it’s game on for 2 hours. All your cares went away. Kids days will never experience this. I’m glad we all did from that era.
Robin's face at 2:52 is like "we're playing Round N Round, no? something sounds out of tune" and Warren's like "Hey look, I pick a string and it makes a sound ! ha ha"
This is the ultimate party song, right? BRILLIANT musicians, BRILLIANT songs. Who cares about the lyrics...? One of my favourite bands EVER! None of the other "hair metal bands" even came close. Right?
I love this band, always have and always will, but it will never have the spark, the magic that it once had without all of the original players and with Robbin Crosby gone 😢that will never happen again. RIP Robbin, you are most definitely missed ♥
Robbin, a true King! Sweet guy, great player, such a bummer. He'd have whipped RATT into shape and they probs would've played on that Def Lep/Crue/Poison stadium tour. Can you imagine???
I totally agree with you,@@Lerxstification. Robbin was always the one holding those guys together, playing the mediator in the bunch, he would have gotten them so much further than they actually got if he'd just had the chance. That tour by the way, would have been so epic!!!!!
There is NO cure for 80s music!!!! Will live forever!!!!!
80's hair bands beat the heck out of anything that is played on the radio today. the music today can't even come close to being as good as music like this.

I was a teenager when this came out, and yes, it was just as awesome then as you have heard!!! I want to give a big shout out to anybody who was in middle school/high school around 1988. ❤ We lived it, loved it, and have the memories to last a lifetime.
I also want to send love to anybody who is in their teens and twenties right now who loves this music. Just remember how much the older fans love you guys for daring to be different and check out great 80's music. You are an inspiration! ❤
1988
I'm 22 years old and I've been a fan of the 80s since I was a kid when my dad showed me his favorite band, Scorpions. Then I started checking TH-cam for music and here I am. I have always been a fan of those years, but especially of Heavy Metal. Not long ago I was lucky enough to work selling Judas Priest merchandising, my favorite band of all time, and they let us go in to see the concert in short periods, but my boss allowed me to see the entire concert and the truth is, WOW, I knew that already They are very old and I probably wouldn't have the opportunity to see them but I was there, crying like a child with the excitement of seeing my idols. Every time I remember it my eyes shine, It was Magic. Greetings from Spain.
I'm a deadhead and I'll take Ratt over anything on streaming or radio now
The 80"s was the coolest time and party ever. Take me back please!!
Awesome seeing Robin and Warren jammin together and smilin..THAT !! Is what Ratt was all about....R.I.P Robin the band miss's ya...
Man the 80s ruled. The music, the girls, the bars had live bands and great looking women. Now the bars, bands, and hot girls are gone.
The girls are still there and some bars are still kinda cool..but they’re too busy on their phone to actually talk to anyone because instagram and tik Tok our way more important…then looking someone in the eyes and making a friend..the invention of mass produced cell phones wrecked it for society…and the home computer and social media added to that phone in 2007…finished us off.
I wonder why the culture declined so much --- all because of the stupid little screens and social media toxicity?
I was in high school in the 80s and this was the type of music the kids were listening to at the time...young and free considering what's going on in the world today.Oh by the way I still listen to Ratt in my late 40s.
I'm 60! And I listen to em' too!
59 here....:)
59 and will never ever tire of the 80s rock!
I'm 52 and miss these days so much! These bands and their music kicked ass! It will never die as long as Hair Nation is playing it! My 11 year old son will not listen to anything but Hair Nation and the Boneyard! He's well versed in all of these bands and knows the music word for word. I'm very blessed!
Same.
RATT is still one of my most listened to bands. Never gets old for me.
Max! You are the man.... ... Love you and your lovely taste of music...... Huge Ratt fan til the day I die....
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. RATT is still one of my favorite bands of all time. R.I.P. ROBBIN.........
@@shamifasahat992makes two of us RATT will never get old for me as well. Part of me will always be stuck in this era and I'm good with it.
@@tommcdonough6086 Same here listen every day still have the look hair dress the part.
The 80's ROCKED: killer music, zero guilt... no regrets.
Lolol I like your name 😂, that's original.
Except for that one time mom caught me in the back seat with my GF....oof.
@@Lerxstification Even the score have her find you in bed wtih her MOm
The double guitar part at 2:58 is just fantastic.
STOP TAKING THIS VIDEO DOWN!!! one of the greatest examples of the 80's great times.
Many of the Ratt vids were on and off because of the legal rights Blotzer went to court about and ended up losing,,Well hopefully Warren does not do the same in the future
I can't believe nobody has tried to cover this song. The lyrics are so well written you couldn't make it sound bad if you tried. Highly underrated song.
There's no way in HELL any band could cover this.
Well it is hard to make a cover which sounds original when you are covering 80’s songs because they all sound amazing and there is really nothing you can do to make them better. It is not like covering songs from the 60’s or 70’s which you can give a spin on as they were pretty bare bones for a lot of them. For example it worked when 80’s bands covered old stuff because they cleaned them up and improved old songs such as Quiet Riot with Cum on feel the noize, Britny fox with Hair of the dog, Kiss with god gave rock and roll to you II, Mötley crüe with Smoking in the boys room and Guns n roses with knockin on heavens door.
Everyday I miss the 80’s more and more
Same here 🤘
Today it's "wear your sheep mask and comply to BS"
Warrant heaven / poison i wont forget you
I always crying when watch the Those two music videos.
Me too best decade ever
I graduated high school in 84. Those were some rocking ass years. I saw Ratt 7 times in the 80's and 90's. They used to put on a hell of a show.
That absolutely BEAUTIFUL smile at 2:16 melts my heart everytime.
@Billy Tresco me too brother.They said I looked like Eddie Van Halen back in the day because I was smiling all the time
By sheer coincidence I had to stop the video as I'm at work so I could come back to it and play it. I stopped it at that mark. I agree w/your sentiment, that smile and that girl is beautiful. I wonder who she is and how she is today now an early 50's woman that might not even know the video w/her in it exists. I'm so glad I was around for the 80's and in high school for it, it was a magical, awesome decade. I miss the heck out of it.
The '80's..Awesome music and HOTT women!!!!!!
LIKEWISE!
The 80's ruled. Best timesof my life. The women were so hot.
looked like jailbait
Dam right
I am 48..and yes. Grandma..lol.
My grandkids listen to the hairbands and love it.
Yes, back in the day I was a hot blonde with big hair. It was the best of times
I will always cherish this period of my life🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Just like pretty much everyone else in this scene - I had a blast 😀😀😀
This decade still resonates to this day 30 years later and I am not surprised.
“We are having a party and everyone is invited”
Yo, and we didn't need to put up silly "all are welcome here" yard signs to prove our wokeness. Everyone was welcome, to party, to mingle and rock out....and more!
Bobby Blotzer what a drummer. One of Ratts most powerful songs. Classic Rock.
One of the greatest guitar tandems ever...Robin and Warren....
Absolutely, 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........ Part of me will àllways be stuck in this era and I'm good with it.
@@tommcdonough6086absolutely agree
What a great time of life. If you weren't there then you wouldn't know.
LIKEWISE! I'm, STILL, "in the dark" as to WHY A LOT of rock/metal fans chose to leave or abandon the-then 24 hour rock/metal party to "welcome" the God-awful grunge movement/era?! Well, THANK GOD GRUNGE IS DEAD SO THE FANS CAN GO BACK AND ENJOY LIFE!
scott lee what I would have gave to be at it, your a lucky man bro.
We didn't give it up. Music was completely controlled by what the suits at the major record labels would publish back then. When they decided grunge was the next big thing, they closed the door on all those great 80's rock bands.
I agree. I saw it all and can't remember a thing except what an awesome decade. Hell I won't even be able to remember tonight now that I've got started on the RATT
scott lee lucky I am alive!
Its 2020 and I want to hug anyone who still loves this song...
if only that kind of thing was still allowed................
Anytime hug!!, miss those days
Every weekend .. Meadow lands arena new Jersey or Madison square garden..1980..1992...wow..every concert...gosh I can't count...the best times.. including 70s...1975 my first concert..Kiss...
massive hugs to you :)
Big hugs to u
The 80's will always be the best and most rocking decade ever, plus this video screams 80's with all the awesome music, and hot girls with big hair, i sure miss me...........
AMEN! or LIKEWISE!
I was at this concert, recorded at The Palace of Auburn Hill in Michigan... what a great memory... wish I could go back and live this memory all over again... when music was at its best and the world had a moral compass
A killer show
What a show was 3 row center stage at the Palace of Auburn Hills,MI 20 minutes from my house what a great time to be alive.thanks Ratt and roll
Great song
I graduated in 88. I miss this time so much. The music, movies, the big hair girls. What a time i had in my teens. 70s and the 80s were the best of times. Today, even with all I've got, doesn't come close. It was a time of freedom, peace, and easiness. If you weren't lucky enough to be there, i dont have the words to explain that scene. A different and badass time.
I love the collaboration with Robbin and Warren it's just amazing when they both share a solo so you can hear both of them play
I love the solo in round and round when they do it live and you hear each dive bomb separately as they come out of the solos...seen it a million times and I still love it..both have a distinct but great style
The saddest moment, when we knew things were going south for Robin, was the live performance where they were soloing and he was one fret off from Warren and it sounded like air raid. No unison and everyone on stage stared at him but continued. It's on YT.
Nothing better than a Friday night concert...Man I do miss the 80s.This Generation just doesnt know what they missed.
Damn skippy
What's sad is this generation of teens only knows 80s music through film soundtracks.
And @ the rate their going…..they will never know….too bad they’re missing out….may they R.I.P….while the rest of us keep ROCKIN OUT….!!!
i'm 24 and i try my best to spread the word on good music, but no one really cares. I wish i would've lived in the 80s man, i don't even have anyone to share cool music with
Yes I do I’m 15 and love rock music wish I was born in the 60’s so I could be an adult in the 80’s
Back when women were such BABES🤘🏻😎
The 80's sluts were the best... lol
Hell ya Robin 2:43. You are the Rock God. Miss you.
Im Gen X Loved it!!!!
rip robin ..ratt will never be the same without you..
Ratt kicks ass!! I was 11 in 1984 and saw the round and round video. Totally blown away… the greatest decade ever… long live rock and roll!!
Damn it .Bobby cam beat those drums... kick ass tonight
We need A Back to Rock music revolution Back when music was part of our life's 80 music should come back In my reality it's never has gone away I'm listening to it every day above the ground 3:24 3:26
1988
There is something more natural and bubbly about the 80's women
people are fake these days
It's the hair
GOD fact.
They are less manly.😂
Anyone of those girls could have been in my high school!
Saw This Concert Ratt,Britny Fox ,Kix .1988!Houston Kicked Ass! 80's Will Alway's Rule!
Ruperto Quintanilla That's a killer lineup, I would've had a great time
Saw them in 89 in Cape Girardeau. Still one of my favorite concerts.
The eighties we're the best in rock period
Without question! I'm proud to be an 80's baby :)
Yes they were by far
It was so good and such fun that it drove itself into the ground and self destructed. Like driving a Corvette off a cliff. Cool as hell while your airborne but ground coming up fast.
AMEN! or LIKEWISE!
@@samjacme3141 Same here!
Whew... I was a high school senior when this album came out. Saw the tour with Britny Fox and Kix, in Philly. Loved this tune and yes, all the girls were this cute back then.
One of the best guitar duos in metal ever! These guys could "lay it down" with the best of them.......what a time to be alive!
Filmed at The Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan. I just uploaded the full audio show of the concert in my channel. After listening to the concert, and watching this MV. It's nice to picture what it was like being at the show. Really cool. Ratt 'n' Roll \m/
I'd love to know who the female announcer person is. i graduated in 89' so the 80's were my formative years and goddamn the 80's were awesome! I work with a guy who was born in 90 and when he asks "what was it like in the 80's? I tell him....go pull up this video and you get your answer. Now I"m 49 and i'm like...WTF? where'd the years go? So many beautiful women in this video, presumably all now mothers in their 50's, for me it's the kiss at 2:10 and that smile at 2:18 that just seals it for me whoever and wherever they are I hope they're well and no doubt unaware of this video.
Those girls with puffy hair drive me nuts!!! They did in the 1980s and early 1990s. Bring it back!!!
I'm almost 60 and still rockin to 80 hair bands. Thank God for Sirius radio listened to hair nation the whole drive to Florida from Connecticut. We keep the 80s spirit alive!!!
Mark Munn That’s by far the best Sirius XM station!
@@KirbyPuckettrocks34 yes, absolutely kept me going the entire time.
I’m 13 years old and this is my favorite type of music. I tell my dad daily that I would of loved to grow up in this generation.
As a person who was slightly younger than you are when this song came out, yes, I see what you mean.
However, there was still a lot of bad, just like any other time.
You didn't have cell phones. I didn't have one until 1997 or so. We used pagers. Why?
Because a cell call was 1.00 a minute, when you might have made about 5.75 an hour. A tank of gas around 1990 was about 20 bucks. On a big car (I had an 81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme), you'd give them 20 and get a few bucks back from dead empty. In a major city.
Smaller towns were cheaper, but you couldn't rely on the quality of gas. If it sits it can make the car noisy or smelly (exhaust).
Kids were big on FM radio.
Songs I heard a LOT of are
"Steppin' Out" Joe Jackson
"Separate Ways" Journey
"Oh, Sherry" Steve Perry (sang for Journey)
"Round n Round" Ratt
"Here I go again"-Whitesnake
It strikes me as odd that the girl in the Whitesnake videos is dead now and she's only a bit older than me.
We hung out at the malls a lot. It wasn't a big thing to drive as a young teen (16, tho lots of kids learned early on farms at 12 or much earlier). But taking a bus or train was pretty safe in most areas.
Cars were made extremely solid. My mother had one in the Olds, and there was one dent, while the other guy's car was totaled.
There was still lead in gasoline up until around 1980. The Blues Brothers mentioned it in the movie. That was a big movie for Chicago kids, as well as 16 Candles and the Breakfast club.
They made little rubber band bracelets in different colors that were big, as was Swatch (watch) and Benneton clothing.
There was quite a bit of neon colors and purple. Jordache jeans and Gloria Vanderbilt. Reebok high tops like Jane Fonda wore in workout videos. Also Nikes, but they look different than now. Steve Perry had some in a live Journey video...
Sounds: expensive keyboards were big. Yamaha made a DX-7. It was ubiquitous in those 80s movies. Mad Max. Trading Places.
Electronic drums were needed and VERY VERY expensive. The early Simmons ones you see in Total Eclipse of the Heart were probably 4 THOUSAND dollars back then!
Nobody used their cymbals, b/c they were AWFUL. Some used a Linn drum.machine, too. They used acoustic cymbals. Which were much better up until fairly recently.
Now, you'll get a very good cymbal sound, but the Roland v-drum set can be as much as 7 thousand dollars! They make smaller ones, but I still prefer acoustic.
If you get a chance to learn music, DO IT. Most of us up here wish we did. Girls also like musicians and it keeps you out of trouble. It'll be easier to learn as you're young.
Encyclopedia Brown, Choose Your Own Adventure and Sweet Valley High books were all big.
.Atari of course. But I much preferred the ColecoVision. Much better graphics. 8 bit! Lol
Spencer's gifts was big at the mall. Bookstores.
We used to drive around with kids on the hood of the car on the mall rood. Literally hanging on by our fingertips! Nobody ever got hurt, tho.
I knew a kid who used to jump off the garage. Don't do it. You mess up your back now, and it'll haunt you forever. Trust us stupid old people (way too young to be boomers, tho).
TV. MTV was new in 1980. It. Was. HUGE. I can't even tell you. Actual music videos 24/7. 1st song was a horrible tune called...Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles.
Pink Floyd the wall was also huge. The movie as well as the song/video. If you get a chance to see The Wall show, DO IT. Def Leppard. Motley Crue.
Btw, Roderick's band "Loded Diper" in Wimpy Kid books was from those bands.
We recorded from cassette tapes. CDs were out, but 1 disc was like 4 hours of work. About 20 bucks. A tape was about 7 or 8 bucks.
1st CD I bought was Black Sabbath hits. It was 5.00 in the bargain bin.
Record Stores were big. Tower Records. Peaches. You had to go THERE to buy tickets or call and the line was always busy. People waited overnight and it was actually fairly safe. I never heard of anyone stealing or molesting anyone that way.
People worked out in health clubs. Jane Fonda was a poster child. So was Suzanne Somers (3's Company). Benny Hill was big.
M*A*S*H was huge. Bob Newhart show. All in the Family. Cheers. The Cosby show. Different Strokes. Facts of Life. Married with Children.
Lots of cartoon reruns. Like Pepe LePew. Which was my favorite and it was extremely old THEN! Like 1950! Or more.
Oh, Toto was huge. Africa. Wow. When that was NEW. The band is full of studio players. Many are dead now. Legendary drummer Jeff Porcaro died of a cocaine overdose/damage to his heart from using cocaine. So, never, EVER do drugs. If someone suggests it, it's time to go. Just trust us on that. Cocaine doesn't have a "safe" amount. It can kill you at any time at any amount. Even the first use.
A lot of people did pot and drank, but it wasn't so strong as it is now. You never know what ELSE someone will put in it to addict you on purpose, so don't go there (fentanyl).
Learn how to fix everything yourself. Asap. Nothing more useful than your own tools and knowing how to use them.
It's all online. Just make sure the person is reputable first. Not just some celebrity.
I remember very early computers when a jpeg via email was a HUGE mess to do. I remember thinking, "This'll never take off..."
@@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823- Don't forget the movie "Fast Times At Ridgemont High"... that movie was ALL 80's 😁for sure!! But otherwise, I really like you're comment, it's simply a stated truth!! While I was reading it, I was remembering my own experiences while growing up in the 80's and man....what a great time I had then, and now reliving it through you're comment once again
Dunno where some of these people grew up. But, where I'm from we blasted these songs through pioneer speakers and burned a shit load of gas cruising the streets. We didn't have a care in the world about anything. I'm sure in some areas it was different. But, in middle America we had a blast.
I wish my girls would also do!
Same for me! Im 21!
Thank you to all the women that made the 80s so Fucking Great!!! Never been the same. You'all know who you are!
Tea Westside YOU ARE WELCOME !!!
Warren and Robin are not given enough props for how good their harmony leads are. I saw Ratt a few times in the '80s and they always put on a killer show. Both of them would do a lead harmony solo during the show.
Filmed in Detroit. Another Band that needs to be in the Rock Hall of Fame yesterday!!!! Stephen "never miss a party" Pearcy was one of the best front men ever.
Actually filmed in Auburn Hills,mi
Ratt n roll babyyyyyyy!!!! 🤘🏻
Ratt And Roll Baby!!!! 2019!!!! Hooooaaaaahhh!!! So Damn Awesome Still Today!!!!
80s women the gold standard in female appearance
Fuzzy hair and not shaving down below isn’t what I consider attractive. But sure, bud.
I rather that they don't shave downstairs. And no tattoos either.
Thank You...I grew up in the 80' s can't be at that MUSIC..I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING ❤❤👍👍🫶🫶
I miss the hair band days, ratt n roll!!!...
Love Ratt...one of my most favorite bands ever.
Those guitarists really have their act together, whoa. Same with the whole band, but those guitarists, wow.
Robin Crosby and Warren Demartini shredding during the guitar solo!
What an utterly awesome tune 😎🤘 wow, how come I'm only now discovering this group. I'm 45 😂
Whatever they say, Glam Metal was pure gold.
Back then ... The more they said the better it got ;)
Still listening in 2024 and so are my neighbors....RATT one of the best groups of all time.
Ratt really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool, still one of my favorite bands of all time, was like 20 when this was released, this video takes you right back to the era. GREAT time to be young. Peace......
@@tommcdonough6086 I actually got misty-eyed watching this video --- reminded me when I was a wild teen in the 80's and me and my buddies would go to a rock show and get a nice buzz and try to pick up chicks LOL --- so much fun being a kid back then, and today it seems to depressing to be a teen
@@kerzytibok3211 We were truly lucky to be young in this era, polar opposite of today's world. Today's youth are being cheated big time and they don't even know it. Peace.....
Blessed by the most amazing beautiful women. - RATT 💃🏻💃🏼💃🏽
Palace of Auburn Hills, Michigan. Was there ! Stadium has since been bulldozed. Great memories.
this song never gets old....
Back when rock was about fun
AMEN!
Yeah. Then it got depressed, lol.
I still liked it, but dam, was it depressing...PJ, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, etc.
And when hard drugs were dangerous and the sex was mostly safe even without a jimmy hat!😂
Jman
There is NOTHING more ‘80s than this video. Love it.
Met Stephen Pearcy last weekend. Super nice guy! RATT and ROLL forever! 🤘❤️
Where'd you meet him?!?!
I love Stephen!
How's his health?
007
He looked really well actually! Very nice guy! Glad I could meet him.
@@StarchildSixx hi! That's awesome! Glad you met him and had a great time! I would love to meet him!
Cheers!

hot 80's ladies who loved metal....man, those were the days!!!
AMEN!
Yeah I remember when I was one of those. .. Well I'll always be an 80's lady !!! I'm always on TH-cam watching the hairbands.
Hey! I am not from the 80s but I love rock and roll 🤘
They were the cool slutty chics...
Now this is music! 😈🖤😜
marcocaceres97 dam right it is
Ratt's great hit! A 80's glamour classic ! As I heard it back in Panama, thru Stereo Panama ! Greetings from Dublin, Ireland !
The 80's were the best 10 years of my life and if I can find a time machine, I'm getting in, setting the dial for the 80's and yanking the knob off. BIG hair, screaming guitars, fast cars and REAL SLUTTY BROADS, time WARP COMPLETE
Please swing by and pick me up in New York. I would give everything up right now to go back and relive the 80s one more time
Will always be a huge fan of this band... best times and memories of a magnificent time in my life
I believe I'm still stuck there and don't want to leave LOL!!! Born 1967
I love your name Joan Jett 🤘❤️ she is one of my idols ❤️
Joan Jett !! Cool....
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... RATT will never get old for me. There was nothing better than being young in this era. Part of me will àllways be stuck there and I'm good with it.
@@Brooklynmom0116know what you mean born in 68. Part of me will ALLWAYS be stuck in this era and I'm good with it. Great time to be young. We were truly lucky to be young in this era kids in the 70's and teenagers throughout the 80's. Today's youth are being cheated big time and they don't even know it. Peace.......
My goodness. Back when a good time seemed to be an everyday experience!!!!
LIKEWISE! In my opinion or To paraphrase, at a time when having a good or great time was the "ORDER OF THE DAY!"
Nah just we knew how to party. No internet to ruin our fuckin lives.
Good lord why couldn’t I have been born in ‘67 and not ‘97. My parents had some kickass teenage years.
Collin Z71 I'm born in 74 when the 80s hit we rocked the mall stayed up on Saturday night to watch the real MTV
I was born in 67 and I was there for all this amazing music, concerts, partying!!
Same, born in 1996. I wish to be alive in 80s. 😫
We sure did I miss it
CollinZ71 I was born in 70 and yes your parents were blessed .sorry bro .. they seemed to raise you good though .
80s girls hot as hell 🤘
Ratt was just a prodigious pile of glittery thunderous magic!
They were So 70's melodic and rough and tumble frenetic 80's glam rock Or Metal with raunch or snappiness.
Just unbelievably fun and groovin Hard..
My all-time favorite Robbin solo. That groove....damn. RIP brother.
I love Ratt. This is mindless 80s rock music that had one thing in mind, and that was to just enjoy yourself. I so miss this genre.
LIKEWISE! In my opinion, (back then) things were or life was great-until that "bad apple called Kurt Cobain reared his ugly head and, literally, SPOILED THE BARREL!" In my opinion, in other words, we TURNED TO or RELIED ON MUSIC to "HELP US BOND with other rock fans and to ESCAPE THE STRAINS AND DEMANDS OF LIFE" and NOT THE OPPPOSITE! THANK GOD HE AND NIRVANA ARE GONE!
Actually, hard rock killed itself, with the help of record execs looking for the next band that sounded like _________(insert any top band here). They signed so many generic sounding bands, it flooded the market and watered it down. People got tired of it. I know I did. I lived it. I have come back now though to loving this music again.
+AngelofAnguish I wouldn't say Cobain or any of the grunge bands killed it. Nevermind is a great fucking rock album. It's just a different style, but I can appreciate it for what it is. Of course I still love the 80's metal bands, but you have to admit the 90's produced a lot of good music also. Both the 80's and 90's are far superior to today's music. As for what happened to rock, I've heard people claim it was the internet and the loss of royalties making it less appealing for people to spend thousands of hours mastering the electric guitar. It was most likely multiple causes for the decline of 80's rock. Don't know if it will ever reemerge, but I hope it will one day.
I "hear" you! The thing that I find ironic or interesting is that if (modern) bands like Rage Against The Machine, Marilyn Manson, Slipnot, Pearl Jam, Melvins, and Green Day, and supposed to be the "future" of rock/metal, how come or why do they take SO LONG to put out new music-despite using modern or "cutting edge" technology? Not that I care, because I DON'T (to be HONEST, I wish they'd ALL GO AWAY!) but, "(just) out of curiosity." I mean, I go to amazon(.com) and a local music store, here in Seattle, called, "Silver Platters," and I see new music from ("old school"-ers like) Accept, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Scorpions, and Iron Maiden, to name a few. Not only THAT, A LOT of the "old school"-ers are STILL performing concerts (which I, proudly, "salute")! But, WHERE ARE the modern bands?!
80's metal is the best genre of rock...
Been loving Ratt lately. Definitely good for blasting in the car.
Me too! I ❤ Blasting Ratt from my Red 2012 Camaro. Feel Great Music!
The solo just hits so hard, the harmony makes it have some feel
Wow. Im 57 but watching this i feel 21. Love Ratt Rip lead guitarist Robin Crosby. Died of AIDS. we love him.
Love you too Steven❤
I have the DVD that this exact performance is on. It's one of the best RATT dvd's around! Gotta watch it over & over...NEVER gets old!! 🤟😎
I'm 21 years old.
Why did I fall in love with their music?
I know I can't go back to the 80s.
Even I know I will see their death...
Greatest Ratt song and video. Hands down both my favorite!!
Yup, definitely. They had a lot of really nice videos, but the attitude of this video is out of this world. Fantastic.
The bands in the 80s were so awesome. Great tunes and music videos, and they put on a real show live. I miss that decade a lot!
THIS SONG IS THE BEST AND SOOO TRUE I WANT A WOMAN NOT SOME LITTLE GIRL I WANT A WOMAN WHO MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A MAN AND NOT SOME DADDYS GIRL !!!
The 80s where the best. Weekend concerts. The house lights dim and it’s game on for 2 hours. All your cares went away. Kids days will never experience this. I’m glad we all did from that era.
I wonder how many times the girls in the video look at themselves and think im so glad i participated in this video that will out last them ! HOW COOL
Ratt had some of the best guitar riffs.
Robin's face at 2:52 is like "we're playing Round N Round, no? something sounds out of tune"
and Warren's like "Hey look, I pick a string and it makes a sound ! ha ha"
This is the ultimate party song, right? BRILLIANT musicians, BRILLIANT songs. Who cares about the lyrics...? One of my favourite bands EVER! None of the other "hair metal bands" even came close. Right?
I love this band, always have and always will, but it will never have the spark, the magic that it once had without all of the original players and with Robbin Crosby gone 😢that will never happen again. RIP Robbin, you are most definitely missed ♥
Robbin, a true King! Sweet guy, great player, such a bummer. He'd have whipped RATT into shape and they probs would've played on that Def Lep/Crue/Poison stadium tour. Can you imagine???
I totally agree with you,@@Lerxstification. Robbin was always the one holding those guys together, playing the mediator in the bunch, he would have gotten them so much further than they actually got if he'd just had the chance. That tour by the way, would have been so epic!!!!!
I like this kind of music.I like rock and roll.
Robin Compton z
RATT N Roll
One of THE most talented bands of that era
Right on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is Glam metal 👍
