I lived in Berlin in '84. I remember a neighbor playing Ratt out of his 3rd story window. I yelled, "What is that?" He yelled back, "RATT, you aint got this stuff over here yet!!!" Dude was fresh from the states. My sisters bought me 'Out of the Cellar' for Christmas that year.
Still holds up 40 yrs. Later.Ratt really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool still one of my favorite bands of all time, Warren is a guitar god absolute LEGEND..........
One of the greatest albums ever imo it’s like an album of greatest hits no bad tracks like you say , and my favorite track The Morning After got little radio play .
As far as duel guitarists you always hear KK and Tipton , Murray and Smith , Hetfield and Hammett , all great tandems for sure but for me King Robbin and DeMartini are right they were epic together Robbin with the killer riffs and Warren with mind blowing solos .
@@god6384 no way bro! What r u saying ? There were many backing vocalists but in my opinion Juan croucier and Rick Savage were the best backing vocalists of 80's ...
RATT really started rolling in 84 when I was 16 in highschool still one of my favorite bands of all time, Warren is a guitar god absolute LEGEND..... Robbin and TORCH DEMARTINI are having a blast here. R.I.P Robbin........
My UA-cam algorithm finally brought me to this gem of a video 15 years later! Thank you for posting & sharing this extremely rare video of this massively underrated great song from Ratt 🤘🏼
Wow. I recorded this on a Beta machine when I was about 11 years old. It's been at least 20 years, or more, since I've seen these "Pro-Shot" songs. Warren D always got credit as an incredible axe-slinger, but this live song proves that Crosby could play a mean guitar, too.
I remember I recorded this by mistake with our first vcr. lol. I was blown away and turned all my friends onto Ratt --Never heard of them. I remember they were announced as LAs hottest band...
Lots of idiots commenting in here. Robin was the SONGWRITER in the best years of RATT. Warren is a top ten player of all time. Robin's breakdown and departure was also the end of RATT. Nothing wrong with that. He was in NO SHAPE to cont
They were pushing him aside ignoring his ideas and playing which pushed him further into drug use. Of course, Nikki Sixx turned him on to heroin his first time.
@@roxannemoser please don't blame RObins use of heroin on Nikki, back then it could've been ANYONE, that drug was everywhere! We all make choices bottom line. I miss KING as much as his next fan, he'll never be forgotten. R.I.P. KING!
Robbin was the soul of Ratt. End of story. No debate. Anyone suggests otherwise or says they only listen to RATT because of Warren need to go get their head and ears checked. Robbin is the most under appreciated lead guitar player who played rhythm in the history of metal.
Ratt, one of the few hair bands that incorporated progressive elements in their music and didn’t rely on the blues for guitar riffing.. imo they sounded similar to queensryche on their first 2 albums, before they went full commercial
I saw these guys before Out of The Cellar was officially released , they played to less than 100 people at a place called Up All Night in NJ ... I saw them 6 months later at a sold out show at the Meadowlands Arena, that's how fast this band took off :-)
DeMartini is smokin', that's all there is to it. One of the best guitarists of the hair metal era. Crosby was a good player but DeMartini was next level in the genre.
This is my favorite song from these guys. And Robbin was such a great player. They were never the same without him. Sadly, his demons overcame him in 2002. I wonder where they would have gone had things been different. Thet were bar none hands down the best hard rock band of the 80's. They could write great songs consistantly, were great live, and had the chops to back it all up. In my opinion, the only band that was on their level was Winger. It's such a shame that the usual petty differences, drugs, alcohol, and indifference led to this awesome bands downfall. But, they left us with some incredible music! Bands today just cannot turn out quality like these guys could, Rest in peace, Robbin.
Damn, I really can't understand why Robbin stopped playing leads. With twin power of him and Warren they could pwn any other guitar duo like Downing/Tipton or DeGarmo/WIlton.
I saw them with my brother and my sister in law in LA wiith the LA guns and Warrant with Jane Lane at the House of Blues in 1998..This was the first song. Cheers and Life On !!!
@ajh9783 It's very moving what you say. I was born 14 years earlier than you in Spain and we fought hard to get Ratt albums. They never played here because we were just a small country in Europe. But we followed'em and bought their albums. Unfortunately, a relative with drug problems sold my Ratt vinyls. I wish someone like you'd bought'em and now is a Ratt maniac. Never stop ratt'n'rolling, man. Be Ratt.
Seriously, where did bands find the things they wore on stage back then? This was at the same time Motley was wearing their leather during the Shout tour. Crazy...
Robbin played just fine...there's nothing wrong with being 'blues-boxed' or being a 'pentatonic-Pete...' solos are about feel and what complements the song...sure, Warren knew how to shred (by comparison), but let's not forget a couple things....Ratt was Robbin's baby (back when it was Mikkey Ratt...if I remember the spelling right), as it was Pearcy's...and secondly, and most unfortunately, Robbin got too caught up in the excesses, which would dull ANYONE'S potential after a while. :s

'Out of the Cellar' is one of those rare albums without a bad track on it. Still holds up almost 30 YEARS later!
Alain DeWitt Appetite for Destruction will be joining the ranks this year.
100% Glam and Heavy Metal
So true an amazing album

Warren is one of the 80s guys that was able to play those fast fluid legato runs with a blues under tone
Warren actually rarely employed legato techniques in his playing.
Warren and Crosby dueling guitars were the best! Fun to watch
As far as duel guitarists you always hear KK and Tipton , Murray and Smith , Hetfield and Hammett , all great tandems for sure but for me King Robbin and DeMartini are right they were epic together Robbin with the killer riffs and Warren with mind blowing solos .

This is the coolest Ratt footage I've seen. I wish they could remaster this and put it out on DVD. Awesome. Thanks.
Heheh how about 11 years later on Spotify? Damn the 80s was 20 years old, now it’s 40? Holy damn crap.
One of best bands in 80s
Juans backing vocals sooo key in ratts success
I think Jeff Pilson's backing vocals were always better. But I respect Juan Coursier awesome player nonetheless
@@god6384 no way bro! What r u saying ? There were many backing vocalists but in my opinion Juan croucier and Rick Savage were the best backing vocalists of 80's ...
Glory days. It's a joy to see Robbin tearing it up, up there.
Wow! That was friggin' amazing! Who knew that Robin could tear it up like that! Warren rips too... Everyone knows that! That was "synergy" RIP "King"

invasion tour was killer ...yeah out of the cellar is one of those albums that is timeless!
DiMartini is one of the most overlooked shredders ever
Probably the most recognizable voice in hair metal. He wasn't the worlds best singer, but he was perfect for this genre.
I remember I recorded this by mistake with our first vcr. lol. I was blown away and turned all my friends onto Ratt --Never heard of them. I remember they were announced as LAs hottest band...
They played great at the rock palace! this was the first thing of ratt i ever saw back in 84 and was a instant fan especially of warrens playing.
Saw them live once, Ratt, Brittney Fox, and Kix, it was decent show, free ticket
Damn, Warren's tone is SO good here. He got pretty caught up in FX on later records/live, but this is amazing.

This was my first Ratt; caught it at midnight, taped it on Betamax and wore the sucker out at all the Warren solos. Glad I found this!!!
Ratt, one of the few hair bands that incorporated progressive elements in their music and didn’t rely on the blues for guitar riffing.. imo they sounded similar to queensryche on their first 2 albums, before they went full commercial
Queensryche?? That's a stretch 😂
Tnx for sharing Ratt n' Roll was a staple in the '80s for sure
I saw these guys before Out of The Cellar was officially released , they played to less than 100 people at a place called Up All Night in NJ ... I saw them 6 months later at a sold out show at the Meadowlands Arena, that's how fast this band took off :-)
NO SHAPE to CONTINUE. Sad, but the end. Still a GREAT BAND. BEST of the GENRE!!!

salaris76, warren is NOT a show off ,he is just gettin into it! the guy is f**kin great!~
Fun fact: Although it sounds like there's a crowd, there is actually none. Sound was added in later.
I love the sound of screaming guitars! 🎸🎸
Warren DeMartini is easily the most UNDER-RATED Guitar Player
WOW!
2:15 goosebumps
I always get so hyped when I hear Ratt. Best way to start your day
The clothes were funky but the quality was there with these guys.
Warren shredding like a fucking boss!!!. Awesome song and the whole album too.
What about Robin... and his fuckin tone! killer!
@@venomagent76 AMEN!!! R.I.P. KING!!
@crimsontiderdotcom
Thats cause this was before Drugs and Alcohol fucked them all up. So sad because they all had such amazing talent
Pop Metal Masters
The drummer is a fucking monster
RATT is the greatest and this song kicks ASS!! See Stephen Pearcy on tour right now!! RIP Robbin!
Damn, I like this song, one of my favourityes off the Out of Cellar album ...
This is probably the best solo duel I have ever heard. (though I even saw Steve Vai and Eric Sardinas four years ago!)
Saw Bon Jovi open up for Ratt wow long time ago
Round and Round used to be my favorite Ratt song but this Song owns it FU** YEAH !!!!
Thank you for sharing.
every single song on out of cellar album kicks ass!!
all of out of the cellar is good
Ah, back in the days when Stephen could sing in tune! X-D
Haha! It's true though. He sings like shit now.
@@davidcurfman7855 He sings better now than few years ago.
I miss being a teenager in the 80's. 🤘🤘
Warren's licks are killer,
Warren is so freakin' Amazing!
@martialfan36 how true that statement is my fellow RATT fan !! Ratt & Roll 4-ever !! csc/10 in Lynchburg V.A. (U.S.A.)
I went to the concert of this tour in San Diego Dec 26, 1984.
sounds great
Best song on the album!!
Memories.....love it.
I am 40 years late to the party but they're my new favorite band
Damn, I really can't understand why Robbin stopped playing leads. With twin power of him and Warren they could pwn any other guitar duo like Downing/Tipton or DeGarmo/WIlton.
Too many drugs the rest of the band made the decision to let Warren do the leads because Robin was too fucked up to handle them.
Warren was also more like Eddie Van Halen so that likely played into it. Why have a Billy Gibbons when you can have Eddie Van Halen?
love Warren's lead tone
great tight band great hook songs great players so underrated! great jammin soloin stuff at 1:46 shows there chops!
I saw this tour. Legendary 🎉
I saw them with my brother and my sister in law in LA wiith the LA guns and Warrant with Jane Lane at the House of Blues in 1998..This was the first song. Cheers and Life On !!!
Juan seemed pissed when warren started soloing.
Saw them the same year at the Beacon Theatre in NYC opening for Motley Crue . . Sat 2nd row center

@AbandonedPhoneBooth and before motley it belonged to Don Dokken, check out the dirt , motley story talks about it ! kinda cool!
Great performance Love...
best song ever........r.i.p robbin
Ratt fucking rules
Amazing, do you find something matching that these days ?
Seriously, where did bands find the things they wore on stage back then? This was at the same time Motley was wearing their leather during the Shout tour. Crazy...
Classic gem 💎
Awesome. Also shows Robin had some great chops too, even though 95% of Ratt's leads were left up to Warren. Great team!
Warren Di Martini is the shit wow
Nice man-camel at 1:39
Warren is a monster player
awesome
40 years now!!
Robbin played just fine...there's nothing wrong with being 'blues-boxed' or being a 'pentatonic-Pete...' solos are about feel and what complements the song...sure, Warren knew how to shred (by comparison), but let's not forget a couple things....Ratt was Robbin's baby (back when it was Mikkey Ratt...if I remember the spelling right), as it was Pearcy's...and secondly, and most unfortunately, Robbin got too caught up in the excesses, which would dull ANYONE'S potential after a while. :s
Magic
@ HairBandDan This track is like 'Dangerous But Worth The Risk' on 'Invasion'. Great track that is often overlooked.
Excellent footage man
@martialfan36 Couldn't agree more.
Warren and the King Crosby 😍
Very true! Motley crue was cool back then and now suck! RATT was cool back then and still is cool!
daam...used to dig Warrens Charvel w/ the Japanese theme..so badass..
RATT, CRÜE, W.A.S.P., MY FAVES
great song
badass!!!!!
@lstn74 Also played an awesome Jackson (Firebird) too !! csc/10 in Lynchburg V.A. (U.S.A.) !!!!
@martialfan36 I totally agree!
Bless Robbin's heart, but he was a handful near the end. Heroin is a hell of a drug. He was treated as well as he could be.......
Tight performance while they were at their best.
