It’s starting to make sense - Lex is an 80’s baby, loving the variety of sounds, instruments, and creativity. And Brad has a 70’s soul, diving into the lyrics, the meaning, and emotions. You are both so awesome!!!
May be on to something man, maybe in her past life she was one of the metal heads that got to close to the flames. She seems like a natural born headbanger. Brad reminds me more of us 70's kids.
@ Chris Capablanca , Jake E Lee is my favorite of Ozzy’s guitarists. Being sandwiched between Randy and Zakk gets him overlooked. Love him in Badlands as well.
Listen to "Lay it down", that riff is so iconically Ratt. Actually trying to play it on a guitar is damn near painful with it's long stretches. Yet Warren DeMartini plays it it with such ease, definitely one of the the most under-rated guitarist of the 80's.
...I do love that riff, also "Your in Love".. another good one is "Way Cool Jr"...also "Back for More"...time to pull "Out of The Cellar ", out of the cellar...good times brother
One of my all time favorite riffs. Just something about it, that even today gets to me. You are right about the stretches. I like to use it as a warm up.
Can't upvote this one enough. Most guitarists I've known consider Lay It Down one of the coolest 80's guitar riffs ever. It deserves every bit of that reputation. Drop D tuning, almost blues-like chord choices, and a sexy swing rhythm to hold it all together. It's soooooooo badass. Edit: Not to mention a SCORCHING Warren Di Martini guitar solo!
Artist: Ratt Album: Out of the Cellar Released: 1984 The 80's maybe had the biggest onslaught of musical flavors, so much different music was developing all at a similar time. Don't feel bad about being confused, if I hadn't went through it in my teenage days I wouldn't be able to make heads or tails out of those days either. It was a very creative decade for sure and the funny thing about it is I'm not sure most of us realized it at the time. The 80's gets knocked around for being "corny/cheesy" but a lot of influence's came out of it and still lives in sound and spirt in the newer music of today.
but this "hair metal" sound was finished before 1989-90. so to her question "why does this sound 90s to me"? it simply shouldnt. ratt would only have been popular when it was. circa 1983-88.
Well said. I was in my senior year in high school in 84... 80s & 90s had some really really good music coming out. I miss those hair bands. I look around now and the only thing that comes close nowadays is probably Nickleback. It all started going south after Nervana...
@@TANTRUMGASM true enough that i was off by a couple years. but also fair to support my premise that this track, and the genre in general, does not sound 90s at all.
Ratt had probably the most vague innocuous lyrics of any band. But I didn't care, they always put me in a good mood when I listened to them 😁. Hedonistic Glam Metal 🎸 at its finest 👍
Good point. I loved Duran Duran back then......Go try and make sense of Simons lyrics. I would read them and think "What the hell is this guy thinking?"
I've never paid attention to lyrics. They literally don't matter. You could switch any songs lyrics to talking about taking a dump in the bathroom. As long as they sing they song the same way and the beats are the same then the song will still be just as good.
@@WheresWaldo05 Hi. Musician here, 35 years of playing drums. I hear you. Until I fell in love with Rush, where the drummer wrote the lyrics, they meant nothing to me either. Your comment reminded me of an MTV video from the early 90s. Eric Clapton performing a slowed down, purely acoustic version of 'Layla' on Unplugged. When Clapton plays the very first note, half the audience erupts in cheers. And when - 16 bars or so later EDIT: a bit longer than 16. Clapton was always a show off 🙂 - he SINGS the the first line of the song, the OTHER half erupts (it's a good song). You, my friend, are firmly in the first group. Some ppl love tone and rhythm, and some love poetry. If you haven't already, you should give jazz a shot. Much much more focus on the music. Finally: As long as David Lee Roth sounded the same as the album, I couldn't have cared less about the 'message', I just saw singing as another instrument. Caring about the song and what I was doing to elevate the message came much later. Seven Bridges Road by The Eagles being a good example. Be well. 🤘🤠🤘
RATT was HUGE in the 80's...one of the greatest rock bands of the era....they were a major player bitd. Their hit songs are classics today. They helped define the 80's rock scene. Great party band.
they were kind of "first wave LA hair do band", along with Motley Crue, but I always thought Ratt was better...who else might you put in the "First wave Hair Do band".?.maybe Twisted Sister? although they were from NY...then you had the second wave like "Brittany Fox, Autographs...maybe "Faster PussyCat"...it is all a bit blurry for me now...I used to have a better handle on it
"Give it All",....."Scene of the Crime",....."No Surprise",....."What's it Gonna Be",...."Slip of the Lip",...."Morning After",....Never Use Love",......"Your in Love",....."Nobody Rides For Free",.....ect
Life Changing story with this song. Everyone has those, "Where were you when..." moments. Well, When I was 17, I had a bad ass Chevy Fleet side truck in High School. This song was playing on my Alpine 'cassette player' while I was making a left turn, crushing the Mall. Without looking, I floored it and spun my 50s Firestone Super Sports and then looked to where I was headed. I couldn't slam my breaks fast enough when I say this little kid and his Dad in front of me. By the grace of Gad, my life changed that day without injury to anyone. My truck stopped close enough for his father to put his hand on the hood. I slammed it in park and got out in tears. I have never forgotten that day. EVERY time I hear this song, I change it and thank God that I learned a valuable lesson without physical cost.
We used to draw the Ratt logo and the Twisted Sister logo on our notebooks and the chalkboards at school. Out of the Cellar was probably one of the first albums I ever bought. Good times.
I have the ts bone logo tattooed on my butt...along with dee's handprint and sig. I wasnt an 80s babe but i was there in the post 90s early oughts dregs when all the gods were fat and sad. ...still fun for me as a goo dancer et all
This was released in 1984, and the soundscape of southern California was being fought over by dozens of bands across all flavors of rock, like Metallica, Megadeth, Motley Crue, Ratt, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Talking Heads. There are so many more that I can't think of off the top of my head, but there are a ton.
Remember being with my friend Rob at his house in.Sherman Oaks when I first heard and saw this album. Funny how music can take you right back to that moment in time.
Brad, the be brutally honest, heavy metal lyrics are often deep...but 99% of the time, hard rock lyrics mean nothing. They are thrown together to sound cool and it's usually about sex/girls.
Ratt king of the hair metal bands. Motley Crue might have been bigger, but Ratt was just more solid, and consistent, and absolutely legit. I was more speed metal and thrash, but I respected them.
Good tune. Part of the hair metal stuff of back then. It's 80s stuff. They sounded kind of advanced for their time. They were one of the better hair metal bands I could listen to. They had a pretty crisp, clear sound and some pretty thumping bass lines.
@@inklanois "Hair" was about having alot of hair, and forming a band to get laid. Most of it was bad. "Arena" was about playing good music and rocking out to an arena full of people.
Ratt was an American glam metal band formed in Los Angeles, California, in the 1970s, that had significant commercial success in the 1980s, with their albums having been certified as gold, platinum, and multi-platinum by the RIAA. This was hair metal, meaning they would use a can of hairspray each. Women loved them, and it distracted from the fact that they had real talent. Very underrated. Tesla is a band you should check out. Being born the month and year of the original Woodstock this was playing while I was in grade school...preteen era.
My very first concert when I was 13 was Ratt with Blackfoot and Helix in 1984. That was it for me, it’s all about Metal since. Great reaction, oh and the actual video for this is pretty awesome
Please react to some Dokken, also 80's glam/heavy metal and they had one of the best guitarrists of all time George Lynch, such a melodic and interesting player with a guitar tone so sweet you may have a heart attack, in a good way ;) If you decide to react to them here's some tips along the way. Ballads: "Alone Again" "Walk Away" Fast paced and/or kickass 80's glam/heavy metal: "Tooth and Nail" "Kiss of Death" "Unchain the Night" "Into the Fire" "Lightning strikes again" "The Hunter" As a bonus I'll throw in "When Heaven Comes Down", it's much darker and sinister than the rest of their songs but god damn is it beautiful and melancholic and the guitar solo is one of my favorites of all time.
Ratt was one of those bands where the lyrics were never very deep (like Queensryche or Savatage or Iron Maiden). But to me, "Round And Round" was about a couple that wanted to be with each other; but things always got in the way; so they were always going round and round. With RATT, this was the song that put them on the map - then Wanted Man (on the same album). They became one of the biggest (hair) metal bands back then, rising up quickly. I have to say I love watching Lex - how she always gets into it, and how, when she hears things, she always has something to say - so she's listening, hearing. And I love it. Brad is more stoic - analyzing slowly - and surly. You two make a wonderful match, especially with reaction videos, because you both come at it from very different takes. And it's great.
The song, round and round by Ratt is off of the Out Of The Cellar album released in 1984, Ratt guitarist Jake E. Lee joined Ozzy Osbourne for the album Bark at the Moon and tour. I saw them live and Lee did a great job., because he was called upon to do songs from Ozzie’s first two albums, the Blizzard of Oz, and diary of a madman. All guitar parts, on those two albums were written by the late great Randy Rhoads.
Yes! This album absolutely blew up when this single was released and the video showed up on MTV. So much so, that it was my first time seeing RATT in concert, Halloween night 1984, and Bon Jovi was the opening act supporting their second album, "7800 Fahrenheit"!!! :-) I was born in '71 so I was 13 when this came out - still a huge fan! RIP Robin Crosby (original rhythm guitarist)...
I'm a metal guitarist from the late 80s early 90s. He reminds me of those in the crowd that sit there and analyze every note just waiting for us to mess up while she reminds me of the reason we love playing for girls. Girls are just there to have fun and enjoy. Lex is awesome!
The singer for Ratt was good friends with Metallicas drummer in the 80s. He asked if Metallica would collaborate with Ratt on a record. James hetfield said nope.
Yes! you guys finally got around to some "Ratt n Roll"! Prob my fave 80's metal band. Round and Round is a great song, but it isn't even their best one. Lay It Down is prob their best, imo. Love Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini on the guitars!
You just stumbled upon a favorite hit in a eighties playlist. I usually like to follow this up with Quiet Riot Feel the noise. Great breakdown of the song 👍
Straight up 80s. But this fell in the category where girls were into it. Def Leppard, Bon Jovi. "Edgy" rocker hair bands. As a teen boy it was nice to see some "metal" that didn't attract only long hair dudes.
These guys sold millions of albums throughout the 80’s, and played to massive audiences in stadiums. Until the grunge era kicked in, and made all the hair metal bands look like a joke.
The Wife here...Ratt was one of the first hair/glam metal bands that I was exposed to....So influential was their music to me..That I became a HUGE fan of Glam metal..I've been fortunate enough to see almost all my favorite bands from this era..Rock on MTV generation!!🤘
Ratt and roll ! They started here in San Diego under the name " Mickey Ratt " they used to play keg house parties and all the small clubs around town. once they moved to LA and started playing the clubs there they changed the name to RATT and got signed, straight up 80's hair metal band.
every 80s ans 90smusic has an mtv to go with it ,alot of the groups came instantly famous from 1 music video on mtv played 24/7 in a que we all watched in amazement at the video while getting into the music and had to wait for it replay on mtv to see it again so we would watch for hours at a time and no commercials !!!
They use this song and that one insurance commercial where they said they had ratt in the basement, In the band ratt was down there playing, I love that commercial
Ratt was HUGE in the mid to late 80s. They had hit after hit after hit. They had started to fade out by about 1990, then became a full on casualty of the grunge movement.
This song is off of Out of the Cellar (1984). 1984 is the year of Metal. In that year 30 of the biggest and now considered "classic" metal albums were released. Rolling Stone (i think it's them) has an article about that one.
I was six years old in 1986 and was listening and watching this on MTV when MTV stood for there abbreviation not the crap they stand for today. Headbangers Ball🤘🏻🤘🏻
One of my all time faves in high school when they were poppin. So good. So many great hits! So many great albums - Out of the Cellar, Invasion of your Privacy and Dancing Undercover! All lit albums. Maybe try out - Wanted Man, Lack Of Communication, You're In Love, Lay It Down, Give It All, Dance, Slip of The Lip, Looking For Love, One Good Lover.
So many great songs off their "Out Of The Cellar" album. Gotta check out 'Back For More', 'Lack of Communication', 'Wanted Man' from this album. Other classic Ratt tracks 'You're In Love', 'Lay It Down', 'Way Cool Jr'... that's a good start. Lol
My friend and I used to cruise around late at night in my truck and we would go to the only roundabout in our area and blast this song while going around it a bunch
One of my all-time favorite band, i was 11 in 1984 and been a fan ever since. Other songs you could do are : Body Talk, Lay It Down, Lack Of Communication, You're In Love, Dance, Wanted Man, Back For More, I Want A Woman, Lovin' You Is A Dirty Job, Shame Shame Shame, Nobody Rides For Free, Eat Me Up Alive.
partied with Stephen Pearcy on several occasions at my buddy's bar in Ohio. Let's u know he's just a regular guy. great react as always. this is early mid 80s sound
She’s always over there rocking out, having a good time and he always looks like he’s studying for a math test.
he doesn't like sitting next to the "unruly rocker"... but we all think it's fantastic!! LOL
Music confuses him.
@@brettharlow7010 TOTALLY !!
Highlights that people listen to music in different ways. I am more on the Lex spectrum...lyrics are secondary.
@@brettharlow7010 He "liked" a song the other day by saying; (something like) "The background "noise" wasn't that bad." Ha!
This song came out in 1984. This whole album is good. The 80's were a great decade to be a teen
Yes!!
Hell yes it was...!!
I tell people that all the time! 😎
No doubt, we had fun without technology
Correct you are! I was 30 in 1984 and was still in my teen frame of mind thanks to excellent music of the time! Shit hasen't changed!! Rock on!!
It’s starting to make sense - Lex is an 80’s baby, loving the variety of sounds, instruments, and creativity. And Brad has a 70’s soul, diving into the lyrics, the meaning, and emotions. You are both so awesome!!!
I keep feeling like these two are old souls.
May be on to something man, maybe in her past life she was one of the metal heads that got to close to the flames. She seems like a natural born headbanger. Brad reminds me more of us 70's kids.
RATT Lay It Down, one of the coolest guitar riffs of the 1980's
So cool Willie Adler played it in the streets of Japan in the Walk With Me In Hell DVD
Of the 80’s? More like ever!
@@bigh9248 Agreed, it's in my top 5, of all songs, of all time, Jake E Lee's - Bark at the Moon is also up there

80s were the best for everyone and everything.especially music.
And Brad, much of the 80s was about the beat and the sound. Lyrics often were not the center of the songs, just had to have a catch, a hook.
Ratt had probably the most vague innocuous lyrics of any band. But I didn't care, they always put me in a good mood when I listened to them 😁. Hedonistic Glam Metal 🎸 at its finest 👍
Good point. I loved Duran Duran back then......Go try and make sense of Simons lyrics. I would read them and think "What the hell is this guy thinking?"
Esp in Ratt.
I've never paid attention to lyrics. They literally don't matter. You could switch any songs lyrics to talking about taking a dump in the bathroom. As long as they sing they song the same way and the beats are the same then the song will still be just as good.

- he SINGS the the first line of the song, the OTHER half erupts (it's a good song).
You, my friend, are firmly in the first group.
Some ppl love tone and rhythm, and some love poetry.

Seven Bridges Road by The Eagles being a good example.
Be well. 🤘🤠🤘
I love Lex..She has a child like innocents ..very fun, and seem so happy all the time...her energy is off the hook. xo
I agree! Lex is the reason I subscribed and enjoy their videos.
I would love to go to a rock concert with Lex. So much fun.
she is fun, they both are...I thought you wrote "I love sex"..but alas..I love Lex..oh well!
Cool chick
Innocence
MOST UNDERRATED 80s BAND!!
They had a unique metal sound that blew every other band away.
RATT was HUGE in the 80's...one of the greatest rock bands of the era....they were a major player bitd. Their hit songs are classics today. They helped define the 80's rock scene. Great party band.
I agree. They had a lot of really good songs.
they were kind of "first wave LA hair do band", along with Motley Crue, but I always thought Ratt was better...who else might you put in the "First wave Hair Do band".?.maybe Twisted Sister? although they were from NY...then you had the second wave like "Brittany Fox, Autographs...maybe "Faster PussyCat"...it is all a bit blurry for me now...I used to have a better handle on it
They were about the closest competition to Def Leppard. Many people forgot them because Def Leppard was just so huge.
I agree along with poison. I wasn't to much a fan ,my favorite band is the scopions but when you say party band yes.
Brad, your pause timing make me nuts!
same here!
Right lol
I thought so also, but it makes me feel like he truly hasn't listened to it before. And I dig that.
👍👍
@@mikedickson2401 that’s a good point.
It's 80's Era. Ratt got some great tunes. Lay it Down, One Good Lover, Shame Shame Shame, Enough is Enough, Body Talk.
Exactly, Ratt has so many jams that no one knows or listens to, like some of the ones you listed.
Thank you
"Give it All",....."Scene of the Crime",....."No Surprise",....."What's it Gonna Be",...."Slip of the Lip",...."Morning After",....Never Use Love",......"Your in Love",....."Nobody Rides For Free",.....ect
Reminds me of a high school party in 1984. When this song was played everyone loved it. No other song got a better reaction.
Life Changing story with this song.
Everyone has those, "Where were you when..." moments. Well, When I was 17, I had a bad ass Chevy Fleet side truck in High School. This song was playing on my Alpine 'cassette player' while I was making a left turn, crushing the Mall.

Crazy story. Glad to hear you had a wake up call that didn't hurt anyone.
Lex! "You're In Love" :P
Seriously, that is another Ratt song that I think you will enjoy.
We used to draw the Ratt logo and the Twisted Sister logo on our notebooks and the chalkboards at school. Out of the Cellar was probably one of the first albums I ever bought. Good times.
Good times indeed
And somewhere on that notebook was the letter "S".

Blackfoot and Ratt in the same concert sounds awesome.
Please react to some Dokken, also 80's glam/heavy metal and they had one of the best guitarrists of all time George Lynch, such a melodic and interesting player with a guitar tone so sweet you may have a heart attack, in a good way ;)
If you decide to react to them here's some tips along the way.
Ballads:
"Alone Again"
"Walk Away"
Fast paced and/or kickass 80's glam/heavy metal:
"Tooth and Nail"
"Kiss of Death"
"Unchain the Night"
"Into the Fire"
"Lightning strikes again"
"The Hunter"
As a bonus I'll throw in "When Heaven Comes Down", it's much darker and sinister than the rest of their songs but god damn is it beautiful and melancholic and the guitar solo is one of my favorites of all time.
Try "body talk" by Ratt. It's a bit more hair-band sounding.
Probably their best-known song and it got a lot of air play in the '80's!
This was used in the movie The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke. Great movie, actually.
One of the best guitar solos ever!
Give Rush YYZ a try. Awesome instrumental
Ratt was one of those bands where the lyrics were never very deep (like Queensryche or Savatage or Iron Maiden). But to me, "Round And Round" was about a couple that wanted to be with each other; but things always got in the way; so they were always going round and round. With RATT, this was the song that put them on the map - then Wanted Man (on the same album). They became one of the biggest (hair) metal bands back then, rising up quickly. I have to say I love watching Lex - how she always gets into it, and how, when she hears things, she always has something to say - so she's listening, hearing. And I love it. Brad is more stoic - analyzing slowly - and surly. You two make a wonderful match, especially with reaction videos, because you both come at it from very different takes. And it's great.
The song, round and round by Ratt is off of the Out Of The Cellar album released in 1984, Ratt guitarist Jake E. Lee joined Ozzy Osbourne for the album Bark at the Moon and tour. I saw them live and Lee did a great job., because he was called upon to do songs from Ozzie’s first two albums, the Blizzard of Oz, and diary of a madman. All guitar parts, on those two albums were written by the late great Randy Rhoads.
I had to laugh when Lex asked Brad "So you're like in the waiting room?" (7:00)
"No I'm at the main event!" 😅
btw...IF you decide to hear Lay It Down by Ratt, I suggest you do the official music video, to get the full flavor of the song and the band.
Actually, I kind of disagree. The look is distracting from how cool the riff and groove is.
@@TheMasonator777 Yeah I found the underage kid element creepy as well.
This song was huge in the 80s, love it!

he doesnt really "get" the rock music.
Nope. The dichotomy is awesome.

Its a perfect song...the best of 80'...
I'm a metal guitarist from the late 80s early 90s. He reminds me of those in the crowd that sit there and analyze every note just waiting for us to mess up while she reminds me of the reason we love playing for girls. Girls are just there to have fun and enjoy. Lex is awesome!
The singer for Ratt was good friends with Metallicas drummer in the 80s. He asked if Metallica would collaborate with Ratt on a record. James hetfield said nope.
was probably afraid to collab with a band thats actually good with their instruments
If you watch old videos of James hetfield, he said hair metal bands were posers. His words, not mine.
@@ZiziZerig yea, makes sense... Metallica sold 125 million albums ,..... and Ratt has 18 million. CHEERS .
@@TANTRUMGASM quality > quantity ;)
@@TANTRUMGASM yeah bro glad you agree
Yes! you guys finally got around to some "Ratt n Roll"! Prob my fave 80's metal band. Round and Round is a great song, but it isn't even their best one. Lay It Down is prob their best, imo. Love Robbin Crosby and Warren DeMartini on the guitars!
You just stumbled upon a favorite hit in a eighties playlist. I usually like to follow this up with Quiet Riot Feel the noise. Great breakdown of the song 👍
This was definitely part of my 80s soundtrack of my life! 80s for sure. I was there lol.
Straight up 80s. But this fell in the category where girls were into it. Def Leppard, Bon Jovi. "Edgy" rocker hair bands. As a teen boy it was nice to see some "metal" that didn't attract only long hair dudes.
These guys sold millions of albums throughout the 80’s, and played to massive audiences in stadiums. Until the grunge era kicked in, and made all the hair metal bands look like a joke.
The Wife here...Ratt was one of the first hair/glam metal bands that I was exposed to....So influential was their music to me..That I became a HUGE fan of Glam metal..I've been fortunate enough to see almost all my favorite bands from this era..Rock on MTV generation!!🤘
Great Sound In That Band. ❤😊
Lol she’s always a decade off lol Ratt is quintessential 80s
Ratt and roll ! They started here in San Diego under the name " Mickey Ratt " they used to play keg house parties and all the small clubs around town. once they moved to LA and started playing the clubs there they changed the name to RATT and got signed, straight up 80's hair metal band.
I’m glad I stumbled on this channel 👍🏻 you two rock
Hey guys i got to see Ratt in the 80's , the first and second album tours in Corpus Christi, Tx. This song is from the first album.
1984 this dropped freshman year for me this song was everywhere in the High School parking lots and when we drinking in the woods…lol
Greetings from Oregon. Me and my 23 year old cat Phido I just love you two. Hope y'all doing ok. Great upload. Thanks
Very much the 80's. I was 24 and can't even tell you how fun the 80's we're. 70's and 80's. ❤️
I watched y'all in your trailer video and I hope you know you've both inspired people in an uninspiring time. Peace and Strength 💪
Lex is now an '80s metal girl. 😄 Well done you two thanks for sharing.
every 80s ans 90smusic has an mtv to go with it ,alot of the groups came instantly famous from 1 music video on mtv played 24/7 in a que we all watched in amazement at the video while getting into the music and had to wait for it replay on mtv to see it again so we would watch for hours at a time and no commercials !!!
Oh man, this brings back the best memories of my teenage years!!!!
They use this song and that one insurance commercial where they said they had ratt in the basement, In the band ratt was down there playing, I love that commercial
Ratt was HUGE in the mid to late 80s. They had hit after hit after hit.
They had started to fade out by about 1990, then became a full on casualty of the grunge movement.
I just subscribed to this channel, I like your reactions and Lex has great taste in music.
This song is off of Out of the Cellar (1984). 1984 is the year of Metal. In that year 30 of the biggest and now considered "classic" metal albums were released. Rolling Stone (i think it's them) has an article about that one.
I was six years old in 1986 and was listening and watching this on MTV when MTV stood for there abbreviation not the crap they stand for today. Headbangers Ball🤘🏻🤘🏻
I love you two. You are a great Duo. I love your reactions
This song & video was popular on MTV. RATT is #3 on my all-time sleaze rock band.
One of my all time faves in high school when they were poppin. So good. So many great hits! So many great albums - Out of the Cellar, Invasion of your Privacy and Dancing Undercover! All lit albums. Maybe try out - Wanted Man, Lack Of Communication, You're In Love, Lay It Down, Give It All, Dance, Slip of The Lip, Looking For Love, One Good Lover.
Cool vibe. I've been rocking to this for a while now... Glad you found it!
They are awesome, love their reactions!!!
Some RattNRoll was in the 80s and the term put an arrow through my heart think in terms of Cupid
So many great songs off their "Out Of The Cellar" album. Gotta check out 'Back For More', 'Lack of Communication', 'Wanted Man' from this album. Other classic Ratt tracks 'You're In Love', 'Lay It Down', 'Way Cool Jr'... that's a good start. Lol
I LOVE Her reactions and how fast she gets into the rythm.
This is my music. I'm a child of the 80's. Love it.
HAHAHA LOVE IT..ROCK ON LEX....AND KEEP ON STUDYING FOR YOUR EXAMS BRAD.....!!!!!
Oh dang.... 😁😁😁😁
Just a great song!!! Thank you!!!
The first time I heard this was at a 1950s party in the 80s all the kids loved this song.
I haven't seen too many Reactions to Ratt... Wasnt a big fan but cool to see them get some love...
One of the greatest songs of all time. From the 1984 Out Of The Cellar album.
My friend and I used to cruise around late at night in my truck and we would go to the only roundabout in our area and blast this song while going around it a bunch
Early 80’s hair band is identifiable by a rather tiny metal sound which at the time worked. Once the 90’s came around metal had a thicker sound.
As a drummer, this song brings great memories!!!
To prove your point Lex, I was born in the fifties and was in my 30s during the 80s. Best decade of my life.
Can’t hear this song without visualizing the video playing on MTV round and round over and over. 1984.
We need “Lack of communication”. Bad ass riff
One of my all-time favorite band, i was 11 in 1984 and been a fan ever since. Other songs you could do are : Body Talk, Lay It Down, Lack Of Communication, You're In Love, Dance, Wanted Man, Back For More, I Want A Woman, Lovin' You Is A Dirty Job, Shame Shame Shame, Nobody Rides For Free, Eat Me Up Alive.
partied with Stephen Pearcy on several occasions at my buddy's bar in Ohio. Let's u know he's just a regular guy. great react as always. this is early mid 80s sound
Love love this song. Thanks for reacting to it!
Her reaction made me happy and even made me rock to it! like her. Thanks!👍🏽✌🏽🙏🏽
The sudden drum stops, are the hook in this classic.
Ratt was part of the early 80's krokus, quiet riot, motley Crue, fastway scene 🤘
Y'all are pumping out so many vids. I appreciate the grind, and the great content 👍
Brad, you really better be appreciating the fact that Lex carries this channel. Loosen up my man.
