Would see them in their heyday. He never was that great live

[@j.t.cooper2963]

That's not Ratt. That's Pearcy's solo band.

[@juanziegler1471]

Thats why it says ....of Ratt.😉

[@NFlight]

Bass player effed that up... bad.

[@user-jq4fz6co8b]

That audience is so sad to see....it's probably not even worth it to tour the USA. Europe and Asia are the only markets that still give a shit about rock and metal.

[@DutchVai]

Let's all record the live show that we're at and then watch it later on. Pfffft..... too bad people can't absorb the moment anymore.

[@user-jq4fz6co8b]

@@DutchVai Im more referring to the size of the audience...it's Ratt playing to like 100 people at best.

[@NPK476]

It's not that rock is dead in the US, it's that a rock band from 40 years ago that played a specific type of rock is dead. I just seen Armon Amath with Cannibal Corpse in a 9,000 seat venue last week. For an extreme underground Viking Metal band that's insane! Disturbed, 5 finger Death Punch, Lamb of God,Slipknot, Sleep Token, Ghost, all selling arenas this summer and look at rock bands doing stadium tours this summer, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Foo fighters, Metallica. Some bands get entire new generations of fans while others keep the core base and that eventually dwindles over time.
