      Mmm let's see.... Lack of communication, She wants money, The morning after, Im insane, Lay it down, Never use love, Got me on the line, Your in trouble, Eat me up alive, Last call, Lost weekend, Look out below, Garden of eden.. to name a few.. in no particular order lol. Ratt has some fun stuff and I still blast it with the windows down in my truck. I was born 89 so i never got to experience the good bands, I even missed Pantera when they were touring so I'm somewhat living in the past I guess you could say, but I'm keeping it alive.

    The opening riff to "Lay It Down" isn't just Ratt's greatest guitar riff, it's the best guitar riff ever written, hands down. I'd personally add "What You Give Is What You Get" to this list, their whole second record is overflowing with insane guitar riffs! Loved the video, by the way!

    I used to work with Warren’s brother, Jimmy, super cool guy. He would get me tix to shows late 90’s. Got to meet his brother Warren and talk guitar over a cold one. Humble, genuine, and very nice. I’ll never forget it. As for your list, found myself air drumming when did Back for more. Thanks for posting.

That's what I have playing when I'm not listening to audio books. Country occasionally, because some of them still actually play guitar & drums. But mostly.... my 80's Bands. I'll always love it.

    I have held that guitar in my hands. I always thought it was imitation leather. Nope. That's real snake skin.
    I was working for the TSA at Bob Hope airport in Burbank CA and I saw TONS of famous guitars up close (had to screen them). So when this one came to my table, it was just another guitar case.... until I lifted the lid and almost cried. I RAN out of the screening room to see if I could spot Warren but I didn't see him. So I went back to my job and treated that guitar as if it were the holy grail.

    My band opened for Ratt in the late 90's in Las Vegas. I remember during our soundcheck they had their set lists written out on their amps. I took a peek and I was like "that was a hit, that was a hit", and on and on. I knew every song and was kind of shocked at how many hit songs they had in total. Of course their songwriting was fantastic, but it was their riffs that stood out the most to every great song they had. My favorites are Back For More, Lay It Down, Wanted Man, and Lack of Communication.

    Ratt is my favorite 80's hair metal band (and second of all time behind Rush), so I love that folks are posting videos like these.
    For those that don't know, Ratt came out with Infestation in 2010 and it includes what may now be my favorite Ratt song: Eat Me Up Alive. If you're not familiar with it, check it out. You won't be disappointed.
    Oh, and thanks for including You're In Love. I remember that video opening with Warren playing that riff and I couldn't get enough of it.

    You nailed the sound on way cool junior! Awesome! Great list of songs for sure, I'd add in "Can't wait on love" and "Dance"
    All their songs are great though!

      Yep, it's one of those riffs that I just love to play. In fact, I quite often play it when I'm dialing in tones :)

    Sick man! Been a huge Ratt fan a long long time. I think you nailed most of the classics. As far as the older albums "Morning After", "You Should Know By Now" and "Looking For Love" are some of my favorites. Overall, I'm a big fan of Warren's playing on Detonator. "Can't Wait On Love" is fantastic, check it out if you're not familiar with it. I love that Warren Signature Custom Snakeskin. I've been looking around for one, but $2500 is a lot of dough lol.

      Thanks bro! "Can't Wait on Love" is killer ... I love that one. It could have made the list for sure. As for the Snakeskin, yeah they are a bit spendy... I almost bought the less expensive Mexico made version, but at the last second I just decided to go for it :)

    • @drockny

      @@PDXguitarfreak You made the right choice. The snakeskin on the headstock and the black tremolo just set the USA Custom model off compared to the Mexico model. I would love to see you cover "Can't Wait On Love" one day, especially that ripper of a solo.

    Funny thing is I stuck that Out Of The Cellar cd in my car for the weekend and listened to it for the entire weekend and to come and see this video here and what you said about that album. Totally agree that it's essential listening 🎶 for fans of 80s hard Rock and yes it has a tonload of great riffs on there. Some of the best riffs in rock. What I absolutely loooooove about the songs on this album is that during every sustained power chord section of the progressions there are accompanying killer riffs throughout.

    Dude, great job with these Ratt song intros!! They were one of my top 5 favorite 80's hair metal bands! Warren is a genius rock riff creator - Robin was good too! I really miss those days and wish there could be an 80's rock come back, in a big way!!!
