Yes, OMG, say it isn't so. Facebook just informed me that Ratt is losing their frontman. Shite, I didn't even know that band still existed. What did they have, one hit? Oh well, I never did follow those kinds of bands anyway. It just struck me funny that Facebook splashed that across my screen as "trending." Does anybody care about Ratt anymore? Oh well, at 54 I follow the Stones and other artists of their era. I'm hopelessly out of touch about most more modern bands...
Modern band?

Thx for... the laughs, Keefriff! Awful riffs, cliché-ridden vids, Spinal Tap-ish attitiude, no wonder why these hair-metal guys were blown away by Nirvana and their 3-chords songs in no time!

I would have thought that the same old boring princesses would become bored of starting this same old type of thread saying the same old boring things about 80s rock bands. But nope, here they are again, the same old boring princesses who always start, or show up in, these types of threads spouting their same old boring posts, almost word for word, as if their same old boring opinions matter to the millions of fans of this type of music. We get it, you hate this type of music and you cannot resist spouting your same old hate towards it. We get it, you are boring and very proud of it.

I do think Round And Round is a great, if admittedly stupid, song, with an awesome video.

I had no idea they were still going. Didn't know anyone cared at all. A guy quits a completely irrelevant band. Great.

HOW WILL I POSSIBLY GO ON?
Listening to Celine Dion
Because I think this crap band's a joke (which it is) you assume I must like Celine Dion. How about I just think Ratt sucks?
No, butyou wanted to know how you could possibly go on...I think Celine said it best, right here:

its easy to be a music snob but i remember the second half of the 70's when the record execs decided to take rock and roll mainstream and i had to suffer through foreigner,boston,reo speedwagon and journey coming out of my radio.
i'd rather hear the cult,great white,la guns or dokken than any of that crap.
most of those bands lead singers tried to sound like plant and the guitar players were trying to be eddie van halen.at least it was rock and roll following its influences.
when the grunge thing came along they were all tossed aside instead of the better bands being developed.most of them had 2 or 3 records and were dumped.
i saw alot of them in the clubs when they were trying to make it and those guys could flat out play.
there was one band i remember called tora tora that had some excellent guitar players,i think they were from memphis.
Please don't ever mention The Cult with those other 80's hair bands. They started out as a goth band and quickly changed to straight rock with the release of the Electric album.
That being said I am a big fan of the 80's Dokken because of George Lynch's guitar playing. And I will take a lot of the 80's hair band stuff over the shitty EMO stuff they pass off as music today. Just horrible.

Nirvana is the most overrated band in rock history IMHO.

Ratt had its ups and downs I guess, but some of the ups are quite good.
Stuff people might not know is the solid "Infestation" album, their last.
And on their first album is a jam with Michael Schenker playing acoustic.
Very well done.
Stephen Pearcy has a good voice for a rock band.
So I can imagine he shows up somewhere else.
