Man, this was bad-ass. Robbin, Juan and Bobby were totally in the pocket. Robbin and Warren in perfect sync on the dual lead. Stephen's voice was still young and tight sounding.... and not totally blown out. I was 18 in 1983 and still spending my summers out on the beaches of So Cal.
I love the fact that in this genre you don't have to question whether or not there will be a hot wanking guitar solo... you can simply rest assured that it's coming
Scott ❗️absolutely! Guaranteed. in every song. ! 94 th like Listening to Warren Demartini, he is such a NATURAL hard rock guitarist. His choice of notes in his leads, the attack of his picking hand, the slow vibrato and the TONE those amps and speakers
Warren di Martini was at my high-school graduation because his son graduated the same day that I did. And I remember his son, he was in my music class. I was all into Guns' N' Roses at the time and he was calling them "Guns and Posers".
Robbin King Crosby, thank you for the music you brought to the Metal fans. You did not die in vain. Millions love you and Ratt. My life is a better place because of you. No matter how down this Army Veteran gets, I can listen to your guitar playing and the songs you shared. Best medicine in the world.
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 Gun's N' Roses didn't actually have duel guitars dude. Izzy just played rhythm and Slash played lead! But I think almost every other 80s hair band had double guitars melodies in their songs, even if they only had one guitarist!
@@reeceschrock396 and not once did he even bitch or whine about it. he was grateful for everything and just powered through it. from birth to death he was always badass. Ratt just isn't the same without the King.
@@LeonRHarvey I am sure he was terrified. He went on the streets and was begging in the 90s. He had several things just go out if his control. Specially from 1987 then on till the end. I wanna change my comment to more like "the last decade and a half."
Warren is my favorite guitarist. I met him in bay City Michigan after a show. To me he is this badass guitar player yet when I asked for a guitar pick he ran into their bus just to get me one. Who the hell was I? That was pure class on his part.
As a thrash metal fan I hate to admit it, but I fuckin' love this song! The guitar parts are written beautifully. Idk how the pros are so good at coming up with rhythms like this
Dude, thrash is my favourite genre and I want to tell ya something. Listen to whatever the fuck you like do not care what people say about it and enjoy music ;) before actually becoming a thrash fan i was into 80's hair (not cheesy bands like poison tho)
Why do you have to hate to admit it? Are you in some tribe or gang? Liking just one genre of music makes you a total douche bag. Stop fearing what other people think. If your ears like it then cool
@@chrisdubay02 nah just pointing out how cringe it is when someone has to label themselves as something and make out that liking another type of music is so edgy and out of the box.
This lineup was great. It was raw and solid. Seen them years later and partied with Stephen backstage, but their band didn’t come close to this Ratt here. Thanks for sharing. 😎🤘🏽🔥
RIP Robbin , and I know its kind of a stretch but watching Kuan's moves reminds me a little bit of Jeff Labar from Cinderella , so rest in peace Jeff an Robbin.
Wow, watching DeMartini shredding away at that guitar just simply puts u in a trance! He’s definitely one of the most underrated guitarists ever...still love him & still love Ratt
This is old but I never seen it, I was 16 in highschool when Ratt started really rollin in 84 WARREN IS A GUITAR 🎸 GOD. Absolute legend. Still one of my favorite guitarist of all time. 55 now where does the time go 😮. Peace..........
Man i loved and still love this song to this day. They don't make rock like this anymore! I remember when it World Premiered on MTV!!! Class of 1989!!!!!
That's what I loved about my generation, when you attend a concert, the music sounded like the album because they really played that shit with no studio effects
Amen. THey had to there were 30 other local bands with crappy names and maybe 1 or 2 members with talent that wanted their slot. RATT eliminated them quick though.
That is how it's done. Not many bands sound this good. Alround kick ass. Thanks for posting, otherwise we wouldn't be able to taste this. Love the backing vocals & tasy solos and not to mention the great vocals. Ratt Rocks, one of my favourite songs.
I had the great pleasure of attending an outdoor concert at trout air in MN in the mid 80s. Iron Maiden, Ratt, Accept, Mama's Boys. Fing awesome!! (we got pulled over by the cops, can't remember why lol, but the car was a cloud filled with that sweet aroma, and they let us go on our way). The 80s era never to be repeated.. So glad to be a part of that magical musical era!! Class of '86.
Think about this guys, this is 1983 and they sound good as fuck, and they didn't have the technology that these crap ass fucks have today, man music from the 80's and early 90's was on point!!
He gave us the best at the time. He gave us pleasure when we needed it most...the 80's. Before you put him down, REMEMBER the music he gave us...the nostalgia...the memories....
Ratt in their prime -- they were truly firing on all cylinders. Robbin Crosby really anchored the sound with those classic riffs. It's all the more reason he'll be sorely missed.
I saw them shortly after this show. Out of the Cellar was not even the 10th best rock record of 1984, yet there is absolutely nothing this good today. :(
I watch this video and it brings tears to my eyes. When RATT took off I found my niche in music. God rest Robin. You are so missed. I had a band I could look up too and for a 12 year old kid back then they were the brothers I didn't have. I cant wait for RATT to hit Portland, Or again. I wish all to heaven the complete original line up could come back together and kick this world ass again. Real rock/metal with a lot of attitude. RATT N ROLL!!
@The Poison Well they were still classified as "Glam Metal" for the most part. Wether or not it's truely correct is different if you were to ask the band or anyone else.
Literally wore the 45 out on the turntable listening and burned the picture tube out on the TV watching the video. You know, back when MTV actually stood for music television because they played actual music videos.
I personally think Ratt is so much superior to Crue, yet Crue got bigger. Ratt was plagued by so much inner turmoil early on, and they were woefully mismanaged at times. They certainly did not live up to their long term potential.
Saw a small town cover band do this one with a drop dead gorgeous blonde singing lead. She'd do this cool twirl on the refrain. It was awesome. The crowd really loved it.
... I saw this on TV but it had to be early '84 - they weren't playing Round & Round yet in '83 - @ least they didn't when I saw them that year @ Perkin's Palace opening up for W.A.S.P. & Armored Saint. Sounds like they put some chorus or "Dimension D" on Stephen's vocals - same thing the soundboard guys did w/ Ozzy throughout the '80s...
I love the old footage. I used to go see Robbin and his high school band Phenomenon every chance I got in 1978 and 1979. Stephen and Warren were in Mickey Rat. I might have seen them once. Jake E. Lee's band Teaser was often on the same bill playing teen clubs! San Diego ROCKS!!!!
0:33 look at Robbin Crosby hitting those G chords and letting them ring and ring..he was really an awesome guitarist and had so much potential..not that hitting a G chord is hard ..no not at all but it's the way he did it and wrote some really cool shit..I wish Crosby would have got some help because he left this place way time soon and had so much potential...Heroin is definitely one of the tools that the devil uses... R.I.P Robbin Crosby..we love you bro
My first rock concert was RATT with Bon Jovi opening in 1985 - Kansas City, MO! Miss those mega rock shows. Dito Flickerstruck...25 years went by too damn fast.
Takes me back to high school boy do I miss those days ..dam
This song literally rips so hard I lose my mind when this song comes on when I’m cutting grass and got my headphones on
I literally wore this cassette out in my car, I listened to it so many times!...lol..Yes the early-mid 80"s Ruled!
Everything BUT the fashions, think Madonna & Flock of Seagulls influence and life ruining drug availability/use for so many I knew and loved, was the best in the 1980's. 🤟🤟 to surviving the impulsive 80's as an adolescent teen.
I much rather live live through the 80’s decade that live another day worrying about covid
@@Jacob-kj1lj You don't have to worry about CV, same death rate as flu, it's the same thing.
First tape I got 1984. I was 8 years old .My cd collection has been rebuilt 4 times and ALWAYS GETS THIS CD!!!
me too !
My brother and I use to jam to Ratt.
Miss you bro!! I love you
Man, this was bad-ass. Robbin, Juan and Bobby were totally in the pocket. Robbin and Warren in perfect sync on the dual lead. Stephen's voice was still young and tight sounding.... and not totally blown out. I was 18 in 1983 and still spending my summers out on the beaches of So Cal.
If i had a wish come true, i would wish to go back to the 80s and relive this all again!
I love the fact that in this genre you don't have to question whether or not there will be a hot wanking guitar solo... you can simply rest assured that it's coming
Warren is a great guitarist.

Listening to Warren Demartini, he is such a NATURAL hard rock guitarist. His choice of notes in his leads, the attack of his picking hand, the slow vibrato and the TONE those amps and speakers
The great Warren Demartini
Me to i was 13 when this song hit it big on the radio & M-T.V. !!!! csc/10 in Lynchburg V.A. (U.S.A.)
Memories ❤️
I enjoyed dozens snd dozens of 80s live concerts. RATT was always so fun live.
I once saw Queensryche open for RATT here in Chattanooga. What a night.
Warren di Martini was at my high-school graduation because his son graduated the same day that I did. And I remember his son, he was in my music class. I was all into Guns' N' Roses at the time and he was calling them "Guns and Posers".
We called em "Guns and dandelions"
Pretty cool sound! Truly out of all the hair bands from the 1980’s, RATT stands out from the crowd! It’s 2021 and their music still rocks !
Used to hear this 💩while doing ya doggystyle lol remember
Used to hear this 💩while doing ya doggystyle lol remember
I grew up listening to Ratt, Quiet Riot and Motley Crue. This song brings back the greatest memories of my youth.
Nah I’d say wasp is the most unique glam band
Guns N Roses, WASP, Queensrÿche
My all time favorite song from Ratt. That solo is a beautiful thing
I like lay it down both bad ass songs
They are playing a little fast Probably the booze and drugs. Sounds better a little bit slower saw them 5 times in the 80 ,s
What You Give Is What You Get, all time favorite
Ratt was wildly underrated
They headlined arenas around the world. How were they underrated?
@@Gcssdvnkloiutesc shut up, Stupid...i wasnt talking to you, obviously
@@Gcssdvnkloiutescexactly
not under rated at all! one of the top bands of the eighties...
@@ericnelson2994when the best bands of the 80s are talked about, they are rarely mentioned at all

Also have the badass king V guitar models because of him! 🤘🏻
Robbinson Lantz Crosby was his name
Saw them in Fresno in 84... My very 1st concert🤘🤘🤘
Duel guitars is the best ever
Have you listened to maiden ?
Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Twisted Sister, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, KISS and Guns N Roses all had duel guitars
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 Gun's N' Roses didn't actually have duel guitars dude. Izzy just played rhythm and Slash played lead! But I think almost every other 80s hair band had double guitars melodies in their songs, even if they only had one guitarist!
@@EliseoCaporale I still count rhythm guitarist's as duel guitarists
@@TheOnlyHollywood1 Yeah, it's dual guitars, but not duel guitars, Izzy didn't have any amazing solos like Slash did in the band.
Totally friggin awesome, this classic priceless color footage, sonic juggernaut guitar playing.
Memory lane ❤
I still listen to Out of the Cellar to this day. Greatest music of all time was early 80s hard rock! 51 years and going, Up the Irons!
Saw these guys in Puerto Rico in 1988…boy they were great!
3/18/1984 and the vid descriptions says 1983. Nice job.
RIP Robbin Crosby.
Crosby stated, "When I die, nobody cry at my funeral, in fact let's all have a party; I've lived the life of ten men. I lived all my dreams and more."

@@schnauzerears912 it got so fuckin bad for him in the last decade!

RIP Robbin , and I know its kind of a stretch but watching Kuan's moves reminds me a little bit of Jeff Labar from Cinderella , so rest in peace Jeff an Robbin.
You can hear the influence this had on GNR's Night train. Ratt are seriously underrated as a metal band. They were pioneers of the movement.
Ratt has always been one of my favorite bands.
What do you mean night train by GnR I don't see any influence?
QR was the best at that time
To me they re far better than GnR
I’m 25 and they’re my all time favorite rock band
Wow, watching DeMartini shredding away at that guitar just simply puts u in a trance! He’s definitely one of the most underrated guitarists ever...still love him & still love Ratt

Exaaaactly
Or maybe because they were lip-sync and playing the studio album version aloud from the concert speakers...
you never know...
@@user-qg2uf8jp3h Don't think so somehow. The end has a fadeout and this doesn't. As if they'd do that. People would know instantly
@Dave Rodriguez LMAOOOOO
vocals are outstanding!
Stephen Pearcy and Kevin Dubrow. Epic vocalists of the 80’s
back when they sounded awesome live. Was like listening to the radio.
That sounded excellent! I think I need to find a whole Ratt concert to watch now
I agree with you!!
Going to concert Dec 16th so excited! Loved them growing up!
That is how it's done. Not many bands sound this good. Alround kick ass. Thanks for posting, otherwise we wouldn't be able to taste this. Love the backing vocals & tasy solos and not to mention the great vocals. Ratt Rocks, one of my favourite songs.

Funny to watch juan still do those goofy moves to this day lol

Bigger boy now then back then too lol
At age 61 that is humiliating.
That's a man who loves what he does lol
I saw this video in 2009 ( here on RUclips ) when i was 15... now im seeing it again in 2020 ... so nice moments. Hies from ARGENTINA
holy crap they sound GREAT live! ZERO lip synching or anything and it sounds almost studio quality
Nope. That’s totally not a voice track……..
What a great live sound they had!!
I saw Ratt and Twisted Sister at the Bronco Bowl in Dallas Texas back in the day. I miss my youth. Getting old sucks
People will never know how awesome this song is
This plays almost everyday at work in my playlist...ratt n roll! Love the 80's.
Need HD
Classic Rock 🤘
This is better than the official video. They sound amazing here!
I have no idea why Warren would be underrated just listen to his music one of the best if not the best. What more could you ask for?
He gave us the best at the time. He gave us pleasure when we needed it most...the 80's. Before you put him down, REMEMBER the music he gave us...the nostalgia...the memories....
AWESOME! I love this REAL MUSIC

Wow, this is the Ratt I remember.
VERY UNDERRATED BAND .AND ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME ..WARREN DI MARTINI
This song fucking bangs, still
Still stands the test of time brother!
I saw Ratt on this tour, & once more a few years later. I got their autographs on this tour.
This song made a Geico commercial very popular
I saw them shortly after this show. Out of the Cellar was not even the 10th best rock record of 1984, yet there is absolutely nothing this good today. :(

Great Song and Riffs. Saw these guys in Summer of 1984 Spokane Washington...RATT Rocks
Outsanding document of musicianship, attitude and songwriting.
Just like Trap music these days ...
A Hell of a fuckin drum kit 🥁
2:18 amazing
2022 , and can’t get this song out of my head. Some of the best electric guitar work I’ve seen ! Much Love always to Ratt ! 🤘🏼💚✨
the 16 people who disliked this video must've been born in the 2000's so they dont know shit about real music
James Braddy don't be a bellend I was born in the 2000s and I have good taste in music, Ratt, poison, motley crue, iron maiden and all that

uh-huh . And truly good !
....yeah .. butt-rock

It's hair metal google It smartass. It's not as hard as Priest but still the Metal category.
@The Poison Well they were still classified as "Glam Metal" for the most part. Wether or not it's truely correct is different if you were to ask the band or anyone else.
Literally wore the 45 out on the turntable listening and burned the picture tube out on the TV watching the video. You know, back when MTV actually stood for music television because they played actual music videos.
WOW these guys should have been more famous. Could they ever perform live. Thanks for posting!!

Never gets old
Saw a small town cover band do this one with a drop dead gorgeous blonde singing lead. She'd do this cool twirl on the refrain. It was awesome. The crowd really loved it.
Man Warren was playing licks like that in 1983 thats wild to think about.
Killer ! So lucky to see this ! Im currently addicted to this song

Dude, they sound great live.
A moment in time A Perfect Storm the looks the lyrics the magnitude the guitars the distortions premium off the hook the filming production
Great voice. Very distinctive.
I love the old footage. I used to go see Robbin and his high school band Phenomenon every chance I got in 1978 and 1979. Stephen and Warren were in Mickey Rat. I might have seen them once. Jake E. Lee's band Teaser was often on the same bill playing teen clubs! San Diego ROCKS!!!!
wowww, dudes can do it live!!! pretty exact!!!
Robbin and Warren were amazing! RIP Robbin!
