Re: Desmond Child/Bonfire "Price Of Loving You"

I've liked this song since I first heard it on the Desmond Child album decades ago. I prefer his version even though he's not like the greatest vocalist. I love his solo album but it took me by surprise at first because I was expecting something like Alice Cooper Trash! It was adult contemporary wi...

Re: Ratt and MTV

Someone in another thread mentioned Greg Prato's book on Ratt , I read that book too , He said something in it that is relevant in this thread, He said that "Home Sweet Home" and "Tears Are Falling" were going back and forth between #1 and #2 on Dial MTV for a long time, and duri...

Re: JUNE 11th 1991... TUFF singer Shares Director’s Concept for MTV Video “I Hate Kissing You G.bye”, explains why a bal

In all seriousness, I think people watching the video and the look of the band, anyone would realize that the band had rockers too and if they knew nothing about them they could have even assumed that it wasn't the first single/video even though it was, and that they just never heard or saw the firs...

Re: Don’t care what u think..Best hair metal song of all time is..

Best? No. Really good, though? Yes. Should’ve been the second single on the album, though, and the title track should have been released as the first single. I like that one more. “Heroes Die Young” was a poor choice for a second single, and it didn’t even have a video, did it? Indeed it did. They ...

Re: RATT “Detonator” took 8 months to record

8 months to make ? $800,000 the cost ? And the sales were originally 800,000 , though honestly I've also read 900,000 , probably platinum by now and may have shipped platinum at the time even though the RIAA shows it only at gold, bands sometimes complain that the labels don't update that and it's a...

Re: Robbin Crosby

I've been listening to RATT a bit for the last couple of weeks and have half-assed learned a few of their songs as well. It's left me wondering, how good of a guitarist was Robbin? Did he take any of the solos on any of their songs? I know he does the harmony part on Round And Round, but did he hav...

I remember seeing the video for "Dance" alot, And I know the videos before got a ton of airplay, But from "Body Talk" and on, Did the others do anything? Did the others get on Dial MTV ? All of my friends hated "Way Cool Jr.", loved "I Want A Woman, Were those on a...

Re: Ratt - 1984 song 'Reach for the Sky'

Could have been on one of those forgettable 80's soundtracks. It is well known that Top Gun wanted the song, Bobby even mentioned it in his book, Warren didn't want to give it , They wound up giving "Body Talk" to the Golden Child instead. Top Gun also wanted "Reckless" by Judas...

SCSinner great job on the band (I'll def come check out your new lineup next time I'm in Vegas). Can't believe Blotz didn't want to use the singer. That guy is really nailing the parts. Question.. Does Blotz ever talk about how he didn't even play on early Beau Hill produced Ratt Records? Or does h...
