Totally agree !! I saw Ratt twice back in the day they were killer !! Stephens voice is shot its time to call it a day. He was still good about 8 years ago when they released there last album. He sounded damn good, but this performance blows !
Just goes to show drugs and strong drink ruin a clean Temple. time and time again we see rock stars just f****** their health and it shows on the outside and they look like s***. It's so sad they could have really hung on to their prime a lot longer.
Dude you not the only one. I worked at an outdoor music theatre when I was in high school and college in the 1980's early 1990's and saw them all in their prime. Someone build a time machine please. I'm going back to the 80's to never return!
Now I've got a Ratt problem too! I'm running across America in March (2021) for disabled vets and the adventure/challenge. This song has captured my attention (I don't know why it didn't years ago) and I plan to use it for motivation on my run and as the opening song for the video documentary if Ratt will give me permission. This is a band that knows how to rock and I never appreciated their talents before. Thank you Geiko for reminding me of this band's unique talents.
people can say what they want about ratt performing like this, but it's half of the living classic lineup... be thankful that juan and stephen can come together to do this
I love Ratt..I'm 46 and been in some bands during my time that played Ratt songs..I love playing Round and Round to this day and is prbly my favorite to play along with Back for More..I don't cheese out any riffs and play it exactly they way Warren did back in the 80's..I love this stuff!
Pearcy sounds the best he has in years..period....if your hating this you obviously havent seen any ratt/pearcy shows in years....studio ratt will always beat live ratt....to be honest Stephen's vocals werent perfect in the 80s either
This makes me happy. Steven wasn't fucked up in this and singing horrible. I enjoyed it. He's got some redemption points. I also like how the guitarist added solo that wasn't there in the original from warren. He's good! Unfortunately this is the best you will get from steven. Still better than current vince neil. No one will argue this.
I get goose bumps on my whole body, this is really good and Stephen does a superb job with his voice. And all the flashbacks i get from back in the days, holy hell.
Came back as I always do. Where are you guys? Love seeing solid drumming and Jimi Hendrix prodigees dueling like crazy. Great job all of you, even old ass Stevie Shitface.
Jujuju whats name of the guitarrist ? Epic guitarrist, legend. I remember a marty friedman, for the look and form of play de guitar.. jaja sorry for my bad inglish , abrazo grande desde Argentina, viva el rock and roll
Ratt sounds good here,. Guitar players are great...Hey people, Fleetwood Mac, and The Eagles had to change band members a hundred times in their existence....And even The Rolling Stones a few times..Shit Happens...The way I see it is, I just turned 62, so Steve Pearcy has to be about my age, or a little older ..And he's still trying to Rock and Roll for the people..Rock and Fuckin' Roll!!..For the people... Around the country!! That's tough stuff...Shit, I get tired just walking around Walmart a couple of times..lol...Rock On Ratt...PS I was never a HUGE Ratt fan..But.....frankm62yroldwhitekid....
Nick Jackson. Yep. For about a decade or so 81/82 -93ish he was unstoppable. There was nobody that could touch them. Sadly he's a joke now. And it's sad. Roth was same way. Saw them in 2015 and was highly disappointed but glad I went. I didn't bother with last Crue tour. Saw them in 2011 and VN was terrible.
Y'all must admit that guitar player is badass, and the other guy after hearing the lead break harmony, I'm sure brings it 7 days a week and twice on Sunday..... and there's an ass filling every seat !!! God bless them they still get to make some money
Good? Better than last many years but thats not a large achievement. He is still rough and croaky with zero high notes sung. Plus, its 2 of 5, Maybe they should sells tickets as RATTY
@@vladlashing That's the whole point, it's well documented that he has had issues singing over the years. So for people to notice his improvements, it is a big achievement. For both Pearcy and the fans. At 62 years old, expectations aren't huge. All people want is to go to a show and enjoy, without having to complaint about his singing. People will be happy if this becomes a nightly occurrence.
@@MetalMaster101 I went to see them in Detroit when it was all of them (except Cavazo of course). Thats was brutal beyond belief. I was pretty stoked to see Ratt. Thats my youth. But soon as they hit the stage the music was OK, kinda sloppy, but the voice ... excruciating. I tried to get over it but me and my wife both left in the middle as it was just plain awful and he was high on top of all that. Never again as that's a complete insult to people who pay good money for tickets. Never again will a dollar of mine fly their way. LA guns was the opening that night and were great. Don Dokken played and even he was better than Pearcy albeit pretty rough. Warrant was next and never interested me but they were bang on I have to give them that. Then Ratt, the whole reason I was there... such a build up ... such a disappointment.
I've been critical of Pearcy when I thought he deserved it but I have to say this is a pretty solid performance IMHO. Also nice to see Jordan Ziff growing as a performer; his playing has always been great.
I miss seen Bobby, Warren, Robbin (R.I.P) in the band, BUT HEY! We still have RATT (Stephen and Juan) rocking the world! RATT and ROLL \m/ :) \m/ Cheers from PUERTO RICO! \
I wish I had seen this. I live in Jackson. I was a major Ratt fan in junior high in the 80s. I saw them play in Jackson twice back then, and they were awesome. The first time I saw them, the opening act was some nobody band called Bon Jovi.
RATT Vocalist: Stephen Pearcy Bassist: Juan Croucier Lead guitarist: Warren DeMartini -> Jordan Ziff Second guitarist: Robbin Crosby -> Carlos Cavazo -> Chris Sanders Drummer: Bobby Blotzer -> Jimmy DeGrasso -> Pete Holmes
I know some of these guys are very young but Pearcy is still there plus a few others. That being said: I can usually tell when a band goes belly up - they cut all their hair off. That's usually the sign they're gonna slow down and go country or something or other than what they originally were. Well, that hasn't entirely happened here. No the vocals weren't perfect but, can anyone remember when Pearcy's live performances ever were? I actually enjoyed this and I'll pay money to go see them. Their music is a part of my past and i still love it. Cudo's for them to be still rockin after all these years!!
This band plays nice but I barely checked out the 1991 footage of when Guitarist Michael Schenker played Round and Round with Ratt. That concert footage of the past was awesome and better than this footage of now (of 2019). November 22, 2021, Monday.
Great band. Kid twist is a huge DeMartini fan and plays homage to his licks and keeps it REAL. Warren is one of my guitar hero's from the 80's but this kid is walking in his shoes and forging his own every time I see him play. I'd pay to see this line-up and I saw RATT in 1984 with Bon Jovi Opening act.
Just goes to show no matter what, fans will always still enjoy the music and want to see the band even if they're old. If the band can still perform well, that's just the bonus.
you mean it was worse than this? it cant be so. i see we are both kiss fans. i make tons of kiss videos. i have not heard ratt in years. saw this and thought wow this is not right. it sounds terrible to me.
I wish the world had a rewind button so we could go back to the 80's when (some of us) were young and these bands were in their prime.
You and i both. 80s were great . girls with big hair that loved to fuck. Smoke some weed with homemade wine. Loved the 80s
Totally agree !! I saw Ratt twice back in the day they were killer !! Stephens voice is shot its time to call it a day. He was still good about 8 years ago when they released there last album. He sounded damn good, but this performance blows !

Soon as I get that friggin flux capacitor working, I 'll swing by and pick y all up.
My son’s band, No Sympathy, will be opening for Ratt in August here in Sacramento. Proud dad here!🤘🏻
AFTERBURNER fuck yeah!!
Great !!
Lol they're washed up
AFTERBURNER no they wont
Iceman3000 They already did,August of last year !🤣
After reading the comments I don't care what anyone says about them, I still rather go see Ratt than 99% of the groups/singers out today :)
I ll drink to that! K N!!
Agree 100%
I think so too!!
They're touring, so you may get a chance if we survive!
Def leppard is still great
I love this song and Ratt!! Stephen Pearcy still sounds like he does back then, just older. They still rock!! 😍💖
@Juan Kristian You’re welcome 😊
I’ll take the Ratt version from ‘86 any day. Warren D. is one of the best.
I'll take 1984
When the ticket prices were 20-30% of that today and when they (the whole, real band) delivered.
Agreed but that kid does real well.
We need Robbin too. Gone too soon.
That 83 or 84 live video not sure the year but they sounded like the album on that one
Now I've got a Ratt problem too! I'm running across America in March (2021) for disabled vets and the adventure/challenge.

Wow, this is one of the best vocal performances from him in the post 80s era!! He actually sang in tune
I miss Warren, but...Jordan Ziff, what a fantastic player, great chops, flawless technique!
Isn't the guy who performed with Marty Friedman?
@@lechsacrifice yes!
He's still got it! This was my song! I miss the 80s!
Kudos to the guitar line up. Best it's been since the original lineup. These guys do it as close as possible, it's not Warren but it's really good.
The music is tight. No, it's not the original lineup but very good.
Extremely good
They do shred! They are VERY good!
Bands don't stay in their prime forever!! sounds great to me! 😎 Considering it came out 35 years ago
You are right, people criticize bands when they are no longer in their peak, if they only look what they did years ago...
Yup that and the drama. They're in and out.
This is really a completely different band all together .
I will always love Ratt...Thank you for the upload!!!!
I’m seeing them in Pittsburgh in a few days at Jergels. Sold out show. I’m looking forward to this.
people can say what they want about ratt performing like this, but it's half of the living classic lineup... be thankful that juan and stephen can come together to do this

Cover some Vitto or Lynch bro.Thats skills.Warren was a beast as well!!
Grew up listening to this song for years. Never expected that I'm still listening in 2019
Were the two guitarist even born when this song came out, lol?
Hell nooo!!!
ZBlacktt
Doesn’t matter. To imagine they grew up fans just like us. It’s great.
@@kcb5336 Yeah I was KISS in the mid early 70's... Was just a funny you got triggered by, lol.
They kick ass, and aren't riding around in ghetto 4 wheel drives with rap shit playing. So God Bless them. 🤘
No but they both frikin ROCK!!!
Well, he's still above ground. I'll give respect for that.
He sounds great when he is on stage sober
I used to teach this song to my guitar students back in 1986!
He sounds better than Vince Neil 🤷♂️
... that's a tough call. LMAO!
My dog farting sounds better then Vince 😆
Vince Meal
My cat meowing sounds better than Vince Neil.
😁😆😅😂🤣 !!
Pearcy sounds the best he has in years..period....if your hating this you obviously havent seen any ratt/pearcy shows in years....studio ratt will always beat live ratt....to be honest Stephen's vocals werent perfect in the 80s either
His microphone has autotune on it. It makes his voice sound better.
Don't kid yourself, he needs to retire that worn out box😂!!
He's never sounded good outside of the studio bc he's not a good singer
Type in Ratt unplugged. You will not believe Stephen's voice.
@@0sumgamezzz435 I did. dont know if he sounds weirdly good or downright awful.
Nice to watch a recent performance from them of their old biggest hit!
LOVE U Stephen & the boys..... GOD BLESS U GUYS
Remember them 1981 my first cassette from ratt good times
I would've loved to see them as Mickey Ratt, with Jake E. Lee.
This makes me happy. Steven wasn't fucked up in this and singing horrible. I enjoyed it. He's got some redemption points. I also like how the guitarist added solo that wasn't there in the original from warren. He's good! Unfortunately this is the best you will get from steven. Still better than current vince neil. No one will argue this.
Technically he's just finishing the solo fade out that happens in the studio version, but that's still a good one nonetheless
I get goose bumps on my whole body, this is really good and Stephen does a superb job with his voice. And all the flashbacks i get from back in the days, holy hell.
I love RATT! They sound fantastic but I miss the other guys. I really miss Robin ( Rest In Peace ).
This is still rocking. Yes!
Pearcy actually sounds better in this than I’ve seen him in s long time. I didn’t say it was good....
Came back as I always do. Where are you guys? Love seeing solid drumming and Jimi Hendrix prodigees dueling like crazy. Great job all of you, even old ass Stevie Shitface.
Jujuju whats name of the guitarrist ? Epic guitarrist, legend. I remember a marty friedman, for the look and form of play de guitar.. jaja sorry for my bad inglish , abrazo grande desde Argentina, viva el rock and roll
Band sounds great in 2019! Rock on!
LOVE U GUYS... GOD BLESS U GUYS.....
I saw Ratt twice back in the 80s. They put on a great show!
Wow! Times have definitely changed. .. 🤘❤
I tried wearing out a cassette of Greatest Hits, and this one has its own special flavor!
Essa musica é uma perfeição, anos 80 tem as melhores bandas! 🇧🇷 here!
Saw Ratt in the mid-90s
A little past their hey-day at Cains ballroom in Tulsa. I think they still had the original line-up. Great concert.
Ratt sounds good here,. Guitar players are great...Hey people, Fleetwood Mac, and The Eagles had to change band members a hundred times in their existence....And even The Rolling Stones a few times..Shit Happens...The way I see it is, I just turned 62, so Steve Pearcy has to be about my age, or a little older ..And he's still trying to Rock and Roll for the people..Rock and Fuckin' Roll!!..For the people...

It's not Warren, or Robin ( RIP) on guitars, but hey, I'd go see them still ! Sounding great !
OG IS BEST!!!
NOT A COVER BAND!!
Amazing song !!! Lot of great memories come to mind when listening to this !!
These guitarists look like they weren't even born when ratt was entertaining us all back in the great 80's! GOD DO I FEEL OLD!!! 55
Stephen Pearcy Band featuring Juan Croucier
Yeah no warren demartini no ratt
They have the echo / reverb turned up to 100 on the vocals to mask Pearcy's shot voice...
I saw them live in 86 he sounded like ass then! The rest of the band kicked ass.
sounds great!
Awesome !!! Stephen and band sound great!!!
I was there and it was an awesome show. Stephen Pearcy sounded great in person! ❤
I was there too and quite suprised they sounded amazing!
Nick Jackson when Pearcy isn't whacked out he's decent. When he's whacked he makes Vince look great
@@daveg4236 yea I've seen Vince at his best and worst...he can sing when he wants to but has gotten lazy and doesn't try! Motley is my fave band🤘🤘
Nick Jackson. Yep. For about a decade or so 81/82 -93ish he was unstoppable. There was nobody that could touch them. Sadly he's a joke now. And it's sad. Roth was same way. Saw them in 2015 and was highly disappointed but glad I went.
I didn't bother with last Crue tour. Saw them in 2011 and VN was terrible.
@@daveg4236 I saw him 2 years ago solo and he was on fire then this year I've seen clips and he sounded like shit
I saw them in 2009 for 25 yr celebration of Out of The Cellar...Pearcy sounded really good that night!
Sounds great!!🤘
Awesome performance
Yeah, he's singing in key
Also not that scratchy, cleanest he's sounded in some time. It's only their 2nd gig back, so he's obviously fresh. Hopefully he keeps it up.
Y'all must admit that guitar player is badass, and the other guy after hearing the lead break harmony, I'm sure brings it 7 days a week and twice on Sunday..... and there's an ass filling every seat !!! God bless them they still get to make some money
other than the fact that he is wearing my jacket. He sounds very good. Glad he's doing better.
Agreed!!
Pearcy is redeeming himself from the last tour in this first two shows, he's sounding really great
Good? Better than last many years but thats not a large achievement. He is still rough and croaky with zero high notes sung. Plus, its 2 of 5, Maybe they should sells tickets as RATTY

A lead guitarist is much like a lead vocalist ... they can't be replaced.
Whatever your using it's picking up the audio perfectly 🤘
iPhone 7 Plus. :)
@@alderaanman5470 omg, that's sounds real clear for a cell phone!!!!!!
😯 I didn't even think about it until I read this! It might as well be a soundboard mix. 🎧😽
That Jordan ziff is a badass. It's funny this song was 10 years old when he was born
Yes he also plays with Marty Friedman
Give it up guys.
Great lineup those guitarist Rock
Y’all say what you want but that outro solo was amazing
This other 3 guys don’t really think they’re in RATT, do they?
I live 3 hours from Biloxi and I was shocked this was in Mississippi
I'll see Jordan Ziff the next time he comes through with Marty Friedman.
Hope they put out a new album this year.🎸🎶😎
They are not putting out a new album. Just saw an interview with Pearcy. Too bad cause I thought that Infestation was real good.
I wish I had seen this. I live in Jackson. I was a major Ratt fan in junior high in the 80s. I saw them play in Jackson twice back then, and they were awesome. The first time I saw them, the opening act was some nobody band called Bon Jovi.
Any one from Poplar Creek in Hoffman States Illinois?
Why does Pearcy look like he just walked off the set of The Walking Dead?
😬
Too much crack and heroin.
Is there something wrong with ur head, its call life, worry about what ur gonna look like
What school were they playing at?
RATT
Vocalist: Stephen Pearcy
Bassist: Juan Croucier
Lead guitarist: Warren DeMartini -> Jordan Ziff
Second guitarist: Robbin Crosby -> Carlos Cavazo -> Chris Sanders
Drummer: Bobby Blotzer -> Jimmy DeGrasso -> Pete Holmes
this is pretty good, filled up the venue and that's very cool
Youd put an arrow thru my heart
Nothing will ever be as good as the original lineup.
Nope.
WoW ! Impressive! They still sound great
acabei de conhecer a banda e já gostei excelente. .
Awesome!!!!!
Sound like a capable band.. unlike last year with Pearcy's affliction. I would go see these guys in a heartbeat!
The dual lead solo was sweet!
I know some of these guys are very young but Pearcy is still there plus a few others. That being said: I can usually tell when a band goes belly up - they cut all their hair off.

3 decades of singing the same 10 songs would would probably make me an alcoholic too.
10 songs ? Your being generous
Lol!!!
great guitar players..
this kiddo learned from Marty too much
Compared to pearcey’s recent vocal performances this isn’t too bad.
Pearcy looks like he's decomposing.
That's fucking Hilarious!!!! No doubt
Lmfaooooo
Dyin' 🤣🤣
Rollin::
The guy is 63 what do you expect? plus think about the life style he lived for years in the rock n roll world.
Stephen sounds awesome, keep the hard work up guys!🤟🏼💀🐀
Jordan Ziff is incredible!! Best choice for Ratt!

Damn if they’re packing venues like that , I don’t blame them , get that money
Just goes to show no matter what, fans will always still enjoy the music and want to see the band even if they're old. If the band can still perform well, that's just the bonus.
Yeah, THAT'LL HELP when WE DIE!! IDIOTIC!!
There must be two hundred people in there holy shit
Donde están Warren y Rudy ??!!!???
Pearcy's back? It's only been 30 years. About time.
Ummmmm, I saw them in 07 and they sounded great!!!
Glad to see Skeletor is working out in his new lead singer gig. What is Stephen Pearcy doing these days??
I just told my old lady to run in here and dance provocative like she did in the eighties !!!!!
They still sound great.
I'm very impressed how Stephen improved his voice in comparison with last years... Great!
you mean it was worse than this? it cant be so. i see we are both kiss fans. i make tons of kiss videos. i have not heard ratt in years. saw this and thought wow this is not right. it sounds terrible to me.
@@MOUNTAINOUS
NOT THAT BAD LIKE PAUL LIPSYNC STANLEY
@@MOUNTAINOUS search for Ratt concerts between 2006/2018
watch my concert videos from this tour 3rd row with super close ups. wasnt happening.
Great to see these bands still doing there thing
What sound guy leaves the echo on the whole time? Geeeezusss!!
OMG these guys just ruined my 80's memories of this band. Good God no reunions for these guys.
Hey haha refer to my comment above about this video lol 👍🤘
The musicianship is there and sounds great. However...the sound guy can only do so much with the vocals....haha
The music sounds amazing but the singing sounds amateur!
Agreed.
