They were not glam. They were very underrated.

They have been playing for all these years, just not much in NOrth America. And even after one of the guitar players died of AIDS.

RATT n ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RATT was, or is, classified as "glam", but I also do not care for that term either. Robbin Crosby, their guitarist, did die in '02 I believe. However, the AIDs thing is not true. He drank himself close to death, and the final thing that did him in was a heroin overdose.

Here's a video that shows the classic pirate shirt, big hair, make-up like a racoon,etc

This is the breakout song that made RATT huge in the US:

He who farts in church, sits in his own pew.

I am amazed that Ratt is still around! They were great in the 80's and I saw them on more than one occasion. Back in 1984, Out of the Cellar was a fun album for a highschool boy like myself! Man I miss those days sometimes!

They have a new lead singer. They had a fight and he went solo. He is the nephew of Milton Berle.

MIlton Berle's nephew was their manager for like two albums. If Pearcy is not singing I woudn't want to to see them.

Their first single:





"World economic indicators point to a democrat winning 2008. It will surely be Obama. Not that the US president actually runs the US." Feb 5, 2008

RATT WAS NOT GLAM.

EVERY 80's rock band was calssified as glam. Doesn't mean it is fact.

Guess nobody pays attention to other sites.

Ratt, Poison and White Lion went on tour this year. Winger had his own solo tour.
