Way better than Motley Crue. Ratt had way better songs and a bassist that could actually play bass

I saw MSG unplugged after they released their third and best album.

AGREED...

I truly believe DeMartini and Shenker had great chemistry as witnessed by the guitar duel they had on Born on the Bayou ! They would have made a great team for sure

Sheinker was out of his element with Ratt he was just collecting a paycheck.

+Drew Danen How much more of a "wider release" can you get than you tube? You tube is available everywhere in the world where you have internet access. Can't get anymore wider exposure than that. Cheers.

+Zee Risek If you think streaming is infallible you can keep believing that while being as condescending as you want, but for people like myself that actually give a damn about quality, holding something to a higher standard and having a physical copy that can being watched whenever/however in complete form without any copyright or server hang ups, a wide dvd/bluray release of the concert can not be beaten as the best form of medium. Unless you'd rather watch a weak compressed version of a vhs recording (two songs mind you) that is more likely to hold far less interest and sort of robs the creators and fans , then you're a fool. Sorry.

Drew Danen I do think streaming is the future. Kids today do not own records, dvds, cds, or any physical copy of the music they listen to. It's all digital, i tunes, mp3s, streaming, whatever. Like it or not, this is the future of music consumption. Would I like to see a better quality version of this? Sure. There is no reason why you can't have excellent quality while streaming or on you tube. Cheers.

+Zee Risek First off, I don't think you're completely correct on the physical copy thing, especially when vinyls have made a resurgance in recent years and there are plenty of kids that know the difference in quality between something that's an instant download, the like and physical copies and would prefer it just as much as the other depending on how they feel about it, but that's totally beside the point. If you actually read what I first initially said instead of jumping to conclusions like a moron you'd know I said "Aside from places like youtube", meaning that I'm well aware of the fact that it reaches a wide audience and I wasn't denying that at all, but its not without its flaws; which is apparent in both quality and the absence of a full show. My point is if Ratt were to release this Unplugged performance, in it's entirety; which isn't available both on streaming and physical copy, it would give all preferences of all ages the opportunity to enjoy this entire performance at its absolute best when music was more organic and less homogenised. It would also hold more interest than a random clip of the show.

As a result of your personal insults in both your replies, being called a "moron" and a "fool", I am muting this post so I don't hear from you again. Notice, I did not call you any names or hurl personal insults in any of my comments, even my first comment which you felt was condescending did not contain personal insults. This could have been an engaging conversation, but I don't need to be called names. Bye and muted.

SuperRydawg no thumbs up yet

I'll go with one of the very best. I've not seen them all and besides,who can argue this? I agree that this is an awesome performance and sound and is great to see and hear the trade-offs between Michael Schenker and DeMartini both sounding fantastic as well as the whole band.

Percy sounds awesome here, yoikes!

Ya he sounds terrific......my second favorite singer only followed by Layne staley.

Absolutely Melissa. Stephen is not always known for his pipes, but he's got great tone and delivery.

he did before now vocal is shot but damn didnt think he was that old 64 years (July 3, 1956)

Yeah, this was MTV Unplugged. I actually missed the show mostly, turned it on as this song began and it ended the performance as the credits began to roll....

@@litahsr.8226 He always got bad press for his singing but I like his voice. I saw them live way back in the 1980's when they played at the Monsters of Rock festival at Donnington park. They were great but had a problem with the mic's cutting out for a bit.

THIS EXACTLY, such a cool voice and a lot of different tones. Him on invasion was just unbelievable

Don't forget also to mention Fred Coury of Cinderella played percusiion in this performance along with Stephen formed super grup called ARCADE featuring ex-Gypsy Rose guitarist Donny Siracuse and ex-Sea Hugs guitarist Frankie Wilsey

Glad you found it , :) !

This is an older performance in the 90's. Over the years we haven't seen much quality live shows of Ratt. Many are horrible video cam or mostly garbage fan shot audio. This was cool at the time when MTV was about music.

Pearcy was also known to party too much. I feel recently he has been more focused, since the mixing alcohol and pain medicine. I like the footage from Australia when Bobby Blotzer,John Corabi and Warren DeMartini were in the band. I hope Ratt finally gets a good live DVD soon.

Wow his singin is super cool here.... Ya to bad he didn't take care of it.

He has a unique sound to his voice, I am curious to hear new Ratt material.

Warren is a guitar god absolute LEGEND.........

AXEL KI This happened in the early 90s. Around the time Grunge was born. This performance like many were overshadowed by the grunge era. You can thank Nirvana, sound garden and other shit bands of the like.

Hey guys, thanks for the info!!

Plus, Crosby wasn't in good shape health-wise and was fighting with the other guys so Schenker had been filling in for him

@@TheOneAboveAll I don't know why people blame NIRVANA, Soundgarden and other 90's bands for crushing older bands. Just because I hear a great new band, doesn't make me wanna stop listening to old favorites. Plus, even though this is cool, how many MTV fed 14 year olds wanna listen to an "older" band covering an even older bands music that their parents listened to? At the time, this shit was so played out, people wanted to hear anything that was different sounding, ANYTHING.

@@kevinleonard2368 They did play "Way Cool Jr" and "Givin Yourself Away" here also.

Right on Bro .. :) !

Or, maybe this was what his range really was and he was pushing too hard in most of their originals? You can hear how he's more comfortable in his own skin on "Givin' Yourself Away".

@@Limited_Light It's all in about the same vocal range area though isn't it? He's singing fairly high here like most of Ratt's '80s stuff, not super high. The verses on Giving Yourself Away are lower than he usually does though yeah.

@@danswon Compare it to "Tell the World" from the EP. Maybe even their demo version that was on the Metal Massacre compilation.
