The year was 1984... Ratt at the Rock Palace

[harddriver]

I saw this tour with Kick Axe and Lita Ford opening up for Ratt, I seem to remember Warren using Laneys for some reason?? I also hear echoes of Lynch in Warrens phrasing and attack.....

I dont like all they're stuff but some it is great

 

[RaceU4her]

I don’t quite remember what amps were on stage. I do remember Ratt being so fucking loud that it took me half the song before I could figure out what song they were playing

You were just staring at Lita's ass in those RED leather chaps she wore during her set!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NorCal_Val]

Warren looked like he was in junior high!

Yeah, she was pretty hot back in the day

 

[Jeff Hilligan]

Yeah, she was pretty hot back in the day

That's why she banged everything

Good for her, get it while you can

I watched that on VHS over and over. Ratt was so great back in the day.

Thanks for posting. I forgot Croucier could sing and who said Robin Crosby can't play guitar?

Yes!!! I also remember some video or maybe a photo in Circus Magazine of Warren playing Laneys! Our local music store got a 50 watt Laney head and I HAD to have it! I worked full time hours that summer and that was my first 'real' amp.

 

[311boogieman]

Can I assume he was using Pro Tubes?

 

[Harry Dunne]

I'm pretty sure the Laney thing was some kind of endorsement deal. I know for sure that everything in the studio until the late '80s was his Marshall, until Soldano entered the picture. But trying to piece together all of Warren's gear over the years is an exercise in futility. There are so many conflicting accounts, and Warren has never exactly cleared the air about his gear over the years. I know because I've been chasing his rhythm guitar tone for years. lol

Ratt was my first concert ever! It was the "Invasion of your Privacy" tour, so around 1985. Bon Jovi was new and they were the opener.

I always thought Ratt was cooler than most other bands of the time.

I was in LA when Bon Jovi broke big.

I was at that show. Good times. I only went because Ratt was opening and the Invasion record was on fire. I think the following tour they were the headliners. Dance Dance Dance? I went to that one too but I don't remember it.

But hot damn if the girls didn't go completely crazy over some of these bands.

 

[tommythelurker]

I'm confused. What I see matches what I hear. It's almost like they're actually singing and playing their instruments

I think that's the first time I've seen a rock bassist using a thumb pick.
