Warren Demartini is most definitely slept on massively!! One of the best guitarists to come out of L.A. back then along with Eddie and Randy of course as well as George Lynch!!!
Say it LOUDER for the people in the back!!!!! These new cats need to know! Warren was a GOD back then. If you lived it, you know. If you didn't, well .. I'm sorry.
Ratt dressed the part, but they had actual TALENT, so I never lumped them in with the other hair metal bands in the 80's. They were a solid well rehearsed rock band. They actually played well-written songs. Out Of The Cellar is a very good competent album.
I did not get to see them live until around 2005, I think. It was Ratt opening for Poison...yes, Ratt Poison. I was in high school when both bands were cranking out hits and I am not sure if Ratt actually played nearby where I grew up. I did see Warrant and Poison in '90, in my area. I just don't recall ever seeing Ratt touring nearby then.
Robin's nickname was King and he made the regular flying V guitar look small, so Jackson made the bigger V called the King V. I believe that's the story.
This was shot in my hometown of Tucson, AZ. It's at Old Tucson Studios where a lot of classic westerns were shot. They came into town for a show then stuck around to shoot the video.
Bands I can't get enough of... besides Ratt Rush Scorpions Crüe Maiden Judas Priest Queensrÿche Saxon Cinderella Tesla Dio Triumph Sammy era Van Halen So reactions to any of those would definitely make ME happy...and would probably make a lot of other people happy, as well. 😉🤘🤘
Out of the Cellar and Invasion of Your Privacy were fairly big albums for this band. Way Cool Jr. might have been the last big video that aired on MTV back then. Good band with a heavy sound considering the Glam Rock era was taking over. Hard to go wrong with this band .
Way Cool Jr. is an awesome song BUT, not even close to being "the last big video played on MTV". It dropped in 1988. Nirvana didn't kill the metal video genre until 92'. That's an entire 4 years of videos since Jr. came out. Example: Van Halen had "Finish What You Started", GNR had "Patience" and in 1988.... Metallica had "One" and I PROMISE you, nothing touched "One" in 1988. NOTHING. It was the metal video of the year.
@@MacMc691 All good brother. I was just responding on how it was worded. You said "Way Cool Jr. might have been the last big video that aired on MTV" I appreciate your response back but you can see where the confusion might be?
Now you need to do Lack of Communication off the same album!! That was the second cassette lol, that I bought as a impressionable 7th grader lol!! Love the band.
"BURRRRCHHHH" Hey buddy, it's been a minute since I could login and comment. Hope all is well! Proud to be an early sub of the channel always! First, Ratt ROCKS!. Saw them at the M3 Rock Festival in Columbia MD. with Warren in the group. They slayed. Second, WHEN IS ALEXIS GONNA DROP THIS BABY??!!! My best wishes on a healthy newborn! XD
We thought you had gone into witness protection! 3 more weeks for the baby, not long now. Send me an email if you want a t-shirt. We are about to get that underway and I would like to give you one for being here all this time
GREAT PIC For the DAY... I gotta see RATT in Salina KS. 1985. Very First GIG on U.S.A. tour after Japan and Europe... On INVASION of PRIVACY TOUR. ... TOP MEMORY of Life. TAKE ME BACK....
Hey gus, excellent choice this video now brings me good memories; but back in my high school years in Sonora,Mexico it was one of the cooles videos! Thank you for bringing me back to those days!
I saw them in Downtown Clearwater about 10 years ago, right before STEPHEN PEARCY came back, had some young kid singing, only original member was the drummer
As a guitarist, I still contend that the riff for Shame, Shame, Shame is the best riff Warren ever came up with. Sacrilege, I know, but I stand by the claim.
I really like the song but the lack of a great guitar solo really hinders the song from being fantastic since it gets a little too repetitive. I never understood why since every other song contains a tasty solo.
I looked back as far as I could on you tube. Have you heard home free sing man of constant sorrow. No instruments but the one guy does an awesome harmonica and drum set. It is kick ass
recently saw Stephen Pearcy open for Night Ranger in Vegas, and he and his band played Out of the Cellar cover to cover...was shocked how many lyrics I still knew from songs buried in deep cut land like I'm Insane or Scene of the Crime. This one? It is an earworm and now, dammit, I am going to be singing it for at least a week. Every time I hear it...
So many of these 80s videos were so terrible. I always just preferred the playing on the stage videos. You know these guys felt like, "Damnit. We're really going to do this for this video"!!! But 80s Rock/Metal will always be THE BEST !!!!
Love Ratt. Warren's sound is great. Ratt, Dokken, Tesla and LA Guns were my favorite 80s bands. I never liked Crue, which seemed to be the most popular at the time.
I probably will get slammed on this but, Ratt is one of my favorite bands, in the studio. Live, they sucked. Sound engineers they use and use to use, all suck. But, love all of their albums and songs. I listen to them at least once a week. You're in love, Way Cool Jr., Dead Reckoning, Luv Sick and lots and lots more. Warren is on my Mt. Rushmore also Birch. Love his style and his chops. He is Way Cool Jr..
I see RATT three times middle 80’s early 90’s twice supporting OZZY on the Ultimate Sin Tour @ Newcastle City Hall and Newcastle Mayfair and then again @ the Mayfair Headlining they were Class every time R.I.P Robin Crosby(The King)
love your channel, fam. always watching, especially the reactions to hard rock songs. do an aerosmith concert from the 70's, before their pop era. salute from Brazil!

Absolutely. Warren was a beast in the 80s. So underrated as an axe man.
Warren's roommate, Jake E Lee was no slouch either.
Agree. Was always and still one of my fave lead guitarists.
Out of the Cellar is such a great album, not one skip on it
My favorite song off this album has always been "I'm Insane". Thankfully Stephen played it live when I saw him late last year.
Robin used to play this song in San Diego when he was in the band Mac Meda.
RATT was always fun. A pop-ier song of theirs that I really like is "You're in Love".
Ratt dressed the part, but they had actual TALENT, so I never lumped them in with the other hair metal bands in the 80's. They were a solid well rehearsed rock band.
They actually played well-written songs.
Out Of The Cellar is a very good competent album.
Love seeing Burch seemingly being taken back to the days when these songs / videos were popular and in heavy rotation.
"Lay It Down" has a pretty funny video.
Ratt, definitely a great group with a pleasing sound!🎶🎵🎶🎶
This song (and Leppard’s Rock of Ages) that hooked a 13 yo me and sent me on a decade long hair band journey!
In your Direction is probably the best guitar work on Out of the Cellar
For sure!!!
Great song, way cool Jr. is a awesome song. I seen Ratt in Dallas in 1988. Great Band
I did not get to see them live until around 2005, I think. It was Ratt opening for Poison...yes, Ratt Poison. I was in high school when both bands were cranking out hits and I am not sure if Ratt actually played nearby where I grew up. I did see Warrant and Poison in '90, in my area.

I think it was 1988 when I saw them, too. Poison opened up for them. Poison was awful.
Robin's nickname was King and he made the regular flying V guitar look small, so Jackson made the bigger V called the King V. I believe that's the story.

Nobody rides for free is my favorite Ratt N Roll song
Bands I can't get enough of... besides Ratt
Rush
Scorpions
Crüe
Maiden
Judas Priest
Queensrÿche
Saxon
Cinderella
Tesla
Dio
Triumph
Sammy era Van Halen
So reactions to any of those would definitely make ME happy...and would probably make a lot of other people happy, as well. 😉🤘🤘

It’s ROCK FRIDAY YAY. Ratt is classic rock with a twist.

@@MetalMcflyI was referring to Ratt’s video, not the entire genre. Way Cool Jr was ‘their’ last big video that aired on MTV.
@@MacMc691 All good brother. I was just responding on how it was worded. You said "Way Cool Jr. might have been the last big video that aired on MTV" I appreciate your response back but you can see where the confusion might be?
@@MetalMcfly It was a typo, nothing was said, a voice program wasn't used. Assumptions and typos on the internet can easily be misconstrued.
Ratt n Roll
In san diego they ALWAYS played NYE at the arena. Always sold out. I was always working a diff show though doing lighting or monitors
I love this song because both guitarists solo...really highlights the difference in style between Warren and Robbin.
Now you need to do Lack of Communication off the same album!! That was the second cassette lol, that I bought as a impressionable 7th grader lol!! Love the band.
One of my favorite bands, ever!😀And Burch, I agree with you on Mr. de Martini!

@@flickeringboxofficial Contact form sent. Thanks!
Stephen Pearcy was in a band called Arcade my favorite song Nothin' to Lose.
Birch, you should put together a book of your rock photos and the stories that go with them. I would buy that in an instant.
My first concert RATT and Fastway in ‘84
Great reaction. I haven't heard that song in ages. I remember when MTV first premiered that video. Warren is an amazing player.
Great video. Need WINGER Headed for a Heartbreak now. Reb Beach is another guitarist that doesn't over play.
the tone of 80's rock/metal was so good..rip robin crosby, hes so under rated. didnt help he was in warren demartinis(great soloist) shadow
Ratt is in my top 3 rock bands, 1- Van Halen, 2- Ratt ,, 3- Metallica 4- Dokken
Love Ratt. One of the best from the 80's!
Do DANCE as well. Great reaction as always.
My faRatt tune for sure. I still listen to this song on the regular.
In you direction
You're in trouble
The morning after
That whole album is 🔥
My first concert was Iron Maid, Ratt and Accept (1984 I went for Ratt). Warren Di Martini is Top 10 all-time best guitar soloist for me.
GREAT PIC For the DAY... I gotta see RATT in Salina KS. 1985. Very First GIG on U.S.A. tour after Japan and Europe... On INVASION of PRIVACY TOUR. ... TOP MEMORY of Life. TAKE ME BACK....

Ratt has always been my favorite Hair Metal - er, um "Fashion Metal" band!!! Hahaha....my favorite song is The Morning After. 🙂
Best Ratt video..."Your in love" Idea...My favorite video Kingdom Come...Get it on....please!!!!!! Love your work
" I Make My Moves, I Make Them Right, I Don,t Refuse, I Keep It Light, I Take Command Of The Scene, Because For Me There's No In Betweens"....
I believe Wanted Man was in the Weird Science soundtrack.
I believe this waa a concert opener, bqck in the day. Great song, one of the album's best.
Lack of Communication is their best tune.
Opinion of course. That's yours and it's a great song but some of us beg to differ
I really like the song but the lack of a great guitar solo really hinders the song from being fantastic since it gets a little too repetitive. I never understood why since every other song contains a tasty solo.
Out of the Cellar and Invasion of Your Privacy are both great albums!! And I also really liked Detonator.
Thanks for doing my favorite band , can you play "You Think You're Tough , and Back For More?
Warren is 19/20 years old during recording.
Love the video!!! When I have money, I'll join. Right now we're dirt poor
I looked back as far as I could on you tube. Have you heard home free sing man of constant sorrow. No instruments but the one guy does an awesome harmonica and drum set. It is kick ass
This what we call rock

Favorite RATT song ever. Lay it down being a close second
One of my fav bands ever ❤️❤️❤️❤️
RATT!!!! FAVE BAND OF ALL TIME!!!!
Thanks for sharing, Ratt has always been a favorite of mine.
Robin (Crosby) was actually Bing Crosby's nephew. That's how they got Milton Burl to show up for Round and Round.
Body talk was in the movie The Golden Child
"I've lived the life of TEN men" RIP ROBIN CROSBY! The Riff master of RATT!!!!!!
King was the glue that kept those oversized egos together in the early days. When he left, they were never the same.
"Make sure that no one cries at my funeral"..
“Lack of Communication” actually has a more killer riff.
The 80's were THE BEST!!!
Nice! Love this song. You absolutely need to check out "Nobody Rides For Free" from the Point Break soundtrack- good stuff.
Alexis is so cute she's such a positive vibe
So many of these 80s videos were so terrible. I always just preferred the playing on the stage videos. You know these guys felt like, "Damnit. We're really going to do this for this video"!!! But 80s Rock/Metal will always be THE BEST !!!!
Great song
Burch dives into the deep end of hairspray metal.
Warren DeMartini reminds me of George Lynch. Not a clone because they're contemporaries. Just very similar styles with the hanging notes.
Love Ratt. Warren's sound is great. Ratt, Dokken, Tesla and LA Guns were my favorite 80s bands. I never liked Crue, which seemed to be the most popular at the time.
My Band!!! Long live RATT!!! 🐁🐀🐀🐁 🤘😝🤟
"Back for more!!"
Eat Me Up Alive should be the next Ratt song you guys should react to
Probably one of the best roommate duos: Warren DeMartini & Jake E. Lee.
RATT AND ROLL! More RATT. Demartini is excellent. RIP King!
Awesome review, LOVED RATT in the day. Lack of Communication is my fav!!
Robbins was so kind yet so marginalized as a guitarist. He was irreplaceable. 🏄♂️
How about some Psychedelic Furs~ Heartbreak Beat
My favs- Warren, George, and Jake
Givin' Yourself Away by RATT! 😎🔥🤘🎸
Way Cool Jr. is my favourite RATT song.
I saw Bon Jovi open for Ratt. That’s how big Ratt was for a short period.
Ratt and Roll !!!
Birch introduce Alexis to the local boys from St. Pete. Roxx Gang!
I probably will get slammed on this but, Ratt is one of my favorite bands, in the studio. Live, they sucked. Sound engineers they use and use to use, all suck. But, love all of their albums and songs. I listen to them at least once a week. You're in love, Way Cool Jr., Dead Reckoning, Luv Sick and lots and lots more. Warren is on my Mt. Rushmore also Birch. Love his style and his chops. He is Way Cool Jr..
Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby were very underrated guitar players.
The singer now has liver cancer and went public with it - complication from Hep
From what I know, it's in remission for the past 2 years I think. Cancer sucks!
How about “ I’m Insane”. My favorite in the 80’s yes I owned the cassette 😊
I remember this album was Awesome. So awesome it my cassette was stolen twice out of my car and the last time I bought it was on CD.
You guys should do Dokken's " Heaven sent"
You must do Lay it Down next👍👍
I see RATT three times middle 80’s early 90’s twice supporting OZZY on the Ultimate Sin Tour @ Newcastle City Hall and Newcastle Mayfair and then again @ the Mayfair Headlining they were Class every time R.I.P Robin Crosby(The King)
If you get a chance watch MTV's behind the music RATT. Robin was 6'4
They definitely had a "COWBOY LOOK" in this video
Great reaction. Now listen to Back for More!!
Jake E Lee
Kings X - Over My Head
Shame shame shame is pretty good. Warren was always underrated, he’s related to Milton Berl! Lol
love your channel, fam. always watching, especially the reactions to hard rock songs. do an aerosmith concert from the 70's, before their pop era. salute from Brazil!
That is very kind of you to say, thank you! And hello from Florida 🤘😁🤘
You guys should do Extreme "More then words"
Fun fact Robin Crosby was 6 foot 6. And he could have gone pro in baseball
Helloween next for the win.
Juan was in Dokken.
Ah, glam metal 🎸
