3/12/2010 This Ratt Story Rocks!

We are running a killer contest for Ratt fans of any age to tell us their Ratt stories, and we'll be picking one winner each week to receive an ultimate Ratt prize pack which includes the new album Infestation, and which acts as their entry into the drawing to win Warren DeMartini's signature guitar!

We close out week 1 with a Ratt story that rocks from Lisa D. who got married at a Ratt concert!

Here it is in her words, "I met my husband at a RATT concert Feb 5th, 1989 at the Richfield Coliseum AND I got married on stage at a RATT concert December 11, 1990 at the Cleveland Agora. We will be married 20 years this year... The band was so great to us. Stephen even had someone go back to the hotel and get me champagne because they did not have any at the venue. We have seen them varoius times over the years and they all remember us getting married! There have been others get engaged, but we have been the only on-stage wedding! Saigon Kick opened, we got married (minister and all) and then RATT played the show. We went back to the hotel with them and partied and had a wonderful time. It was one of the last shows Robbin [Crosby, late guitarist] ever played with RATT. What RATT-N-Roll brought together, let no man put assunder - lol."

As the story goes, Ratt helped pioneer Hollywood’s legendary Sunset Strip sound and scene. The band has returned sounding fired up and better than ever. Ratt’s first studio album in 11 years, Infestation, is a return to their heavy, riff-driven roots.

The band has reinvented their sound by rediscovering their strengths, shuttling listeners to a time when metal ruled the earth.

3/5/2010 Classic Rock Magazine Muse Over Ratt, Airbourne in New Release Round-Up

Writes the site, "A little early, but mention must be made of the new Ratt album Infestation (Roadrunner/Loud & Proud). It’s not out until April 19, but the wait is worth it. This is the band’s best album since 1986’s Dancing Undercover, full of those classic Warren DeMartini guitar motifs and thumping songs. Always undervalued, the Ratt pack have shown they’re still lean, mean, hungry and ready to burst once more out of the cellar (ouch!)."

Also on their radar is Airbourne's forthcoming album, of which the site jests, "Do we need Airbourne when we’ve got AC/DC? There’s the big question being pondered in the philosophy departments of the great seats of learning: Oxford, Cambridge, The Crobar. Actually, that’s a touch harsh on these outback riders, because No Guts. No Glory. (Roadrunner) is diverting, entertaining and stuffed with the sort of dumbo drinking anthems that the Aussies in general do better than anyone else. So go on, indulge yourself and remember: if AC/DC never existed, then Airbourne would be the acknowledged masters.
