Well played…

This guy gets it

I loved out of the cellar,
Def Leppard was my first, but RATT was a close second
what a time to be 13

Tawny Kitaen on the cover. She would go on to appear in Whitesnake videos of course

So is this what is refereed to as a "RATT pallet cleanser"

I had no idea that was Tawny although she did look familiar….

I saw RATT open for Poison at Nissan Pabilion circa 2008 and they were really good. I saw a recent picture of the singer and wanted to cry…

I remember the Ratt / Poison tour being a thing, but I have no memory of whether or not I went.

By all means, review it anyway.

Only reason I went was cause I got a great free ticket courtesy of Live Nation. Ended up being nothing but a good time.

The over the hill fans cracked me up…the groupies from days of yore…

How was it? What do you remember??

I wasn’t a fan of the band, but me and my buddy won tickets to this show and about 25 other concerts that summer. I was in sort of a clingy HS relationship at the time, so when “Hold on Loosely” started, by buddy gave me a knowing glance and nodded his head…

Yeah, mostly Cap Centre and MPP shows. It got ridiculous at some point. We just called DC 101 and won. I *think* you were supposed to be limited to one win per month, but we kept winning and they kept giving us tickets.

I had a year where I probably won radio station giveaways 18+ times. It was insane. They knew me by sight when I showed up to pick up my winnings.
