It really is something unique and unforgettable!

Thanks brother! I appreciate you doing that for me and I appreciate your kind words. Thanks for all you do. Live long and Ratt 'N' Roll!

I'm glad you liked it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it. L+P back at you!

Thanks a lot! Means a lot having people enjoy these!

I still am a fan of the song. It’s just my least favorite on the album. Most of Ratt’s stuff up to and on Detonator is very good.

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ll definitely have a look!

All these things I will definitely be discussing for sure! Stay tuned!

I doubt without Beau they would have had that level of success in that mid 80s period. Beau managed to capture Stephen’s distinct vocals and vibe on record via multiple overdubs and echo taking off the edge...so much so Stephen is cool with Beau doing his vocals as per one of his recent solo albums. Live, his vocals were not good and the big backing vocals sometimes out of tune.

@@lastrolo1517 Tom Allom would have done a superior job compared to Hill.

@@MaskedManiacReviews Personally, I’m not convinced Stephen’s vocals would have worked without Beau at the helm.

Glad you are enjoying it! This was and is always about Ratt and the Ratt N Rollers! Ratt deserves any praise they get.

@@MaskedManiacReviews oh for sure! Can’t wait to get to invasion. Best record they ever did imo

Pretty much a perfect song for a perfect album!

Thank you I appreciate it.

Yep. Crosby stated by Invasion that having two shredders would have sounded really old fast and that he was after a Billy Gibbons tasty vibe with a twist. Some of the Invasion material is older and so Crosby still taking a fair share of leads. By Dancing, he had retreated and Warren was the showcased guitar wunderkid.

I agree, There's some solid similarities between Robbin & Warren, And Steve Clark & Phil Collen. Ironically Robbin & Steve are two of my biggest and most obvious influences on my own playing and writing. Good call!

I have them linked in the description. Check it out!

Robbin said in an interview I have in a magazine from 1984 that he didnt feel 2 guitar wizards were needed in one band and I doubt he thought he was the wizard of the 2. I do assume drugs and alcohol had a huge hand in his feelings. I always thought he was pretty good. Hes a bit more plodding style mid paced and warren is blistering fast and tight. I do agree he truly was good for Ratt.

He was a rhythm player, songwriter, and a leader. Warren Dimartini is a fantastic lead player, but is a bit meek. The 80's scene was being larger than life, so you needed a good balance to make it. Some talent, some attitude and a great video look and catchy songs = Millionaires$$$

@@MaskedManiacReviews Yea I mean I say that based on my own abilities as a guitarist and also on interviews ive heard/read, and stuff other people say theyve heard/read. You can easily pick out what few solos Robin Crosby played in RATT because theyre very basic and pentatonic. He NEVER really goes beyond that mode. And I mean no disrespect at all, but staying within that pentatonic/blues framework in soloing is typical of a very limited, non versatile player. No disrespect, it's just the truth. Any classically trained guitarist would tell you that. BUT--for all i know, who's to say that there isnt some unreleased shit somewhere that nobodys heard where hes going neoclassical and shredding his testicles off. So I love Robin Crosby. In fact, I think that he was probably more vital to RATT than Warren DiMartini, so im not slighting him one bit. I just hate it ended like it did with him.

@@Jbsutt I know man. It's a sad story. Robbin wrote alot of music too so maybe he had perfect pitch and could just write good music which then Warren would execute it. I understand what you mean guitar wise. Robbin is someone who is a bit more approachable music wise than Warren. Warren is kind of one of those 8th wonder type players. Not many are better other than someone like Steve Vai IMO.

I'm sure I'll get plenty of shit for my take (As I generally have for years from DeMartini fans), But while King may not have been inclined toward flashy fast playing I think truthfully he was a MUCH more versatile and capable player than Warren was for much of their time together. Here's why I think so. Up until the Dancing Undercover period, Robbin generally took 45-50% of the solos and yes on songs a lot of people typically attributed to Warren Yes, for much of their lead work, Robbin's style was not nearly as quick handed or speedy as Warren's, And yes there's a few songs where Robbin's solos were fairly basic blues/pentatonic links.. But Robbin had a few things in his arsenal that Warren just didn't have at the time. 1) Robbin could and DID play some very melodic and even fast flashy licks BUT he just preferred not to. He by his own admission wasn't keen on trying to keep up with the "speed demons" as he himself put it.. 2) Warren at the time in my opinion was primarily pretty much focused on cramming as much into his licks as possible and a lot of it was really noodley and incoherent. In fact back then I think he was nowhere near an accomplished or mature a player as Robbin was and in retrospect it really shows. 3) Warren (with notable exceptions) was a one trick pony but because speed and flash were a valued commodity back then, The band knew they could capitalize on it and did. I know a lot of people think I bash on Torch for no reason or for just weak ones if any, But I stand by what I mean. All due respect to Warren, He just wasn't the writer, performer OR player Robbin was back then. Robbin was a much stronger guitarist in almost all respects except that he wasn't as flashy or speedy as Warren was. The proof is this, As Warren started to hold more sway and influence over the playing and songwriting over their career span, Their popularity AND critical acclaim lessened quickly. Not even to mentioned their album sales. And lastly, I do understand that King, due to his own feelings of insecurity and maybe perceived slight withdrew into depression and drug abuse. Which of course only furthered his lessening role. Sorry for being really long winded, But being a massive King nerd I had to state the case. Cheers 🍻

Yeah no that was probably me just having a real brain fart because it’s definitely on side B 😹

@@MaskedManiacReviews Thank you great videos I really enjoyed them. Can you tell where to get those vocal less tracks we hear in the background? Loved them 🤘

@@nc3836 yes they're in my description. Thanks for watchibg. I appreciate your kind words and glad I could help

Robbin and Stephan along with juan and Warren at times. Along with Cristofanilli. Pretty sure Lee wasn't a part of the song writing process. Have not seen a single writing credit for him on anything. He wasn't in the band for a super long time. Was on the 2 song 7".

@@MaskedManiacReviews thanks, loving these vids btw!

Guess I was thinking of something else. Yeah 5 mins on that one for sure. I'm just glad the fact checking is telling me I got a song length wrong. At one point someone told me Warren was Robbins roadie.

It's 5:04 if we're splitting hairs
