You could say that those arguments keep going round and round (sorry)

most likely due to lack of communication...

Ya mean "Communication Breakdown"? Smooth move, ya bonehead. Now Kristy will be all over this thread.

Great riff, but man, did that guitar sound not age well.

[Seshmeister]

It's not one of the best songs on the album.

Ratt were actually ahead of the curve back in the day guitar sound wise.

[IceCreamBlondie]

Very Cool ! Congrats!

Um, thanks everyone, VA... but - to clarify:

Wasn't the classic line-up, no. Perhaps the next incarnation/iteration (?). There wasn't a 2nd guitarist there because y'know, they were auditioning guitarist(s). But yes, got to play RATT songs with one of the people that wrote them (twice). YES those riffs (and solos) are fun to play. Even though I didn't ultimately get the gig, it was an extremely positive experience. Very cool people, very supportive & encouraging (and continue to be). First time I'd tried for a real gig in ages, and got kinda close for a second. If nothing else, I not only got to jam with, my playing was complimented by someone who has also played with 2 out of 3 members of my holy trinity of guitar (Rhoads and Lynch). I'll take that.

Jay, who else was involved in this? I know Ratt have had two separate versions of themselves out there once before.

I think the Ratt guitar sound has held up well over the years. They wrote some of the most memorable riffs ever.

Not trying to hijack your thread jhale, but thought if some hadn't read this stuff about how sad Robin Crosby's demise was, they should.

Congratulations. I was invited to try out for a minor league baseball team while I was playing American Legion baseball in the late 70s. I didn't make the team but they were impressed with my batting skills. It was still quite an honor to tryout though.

Didn't you try out as the pivot man for the local circle jerk?

That was one of the most depressing things I have ever read...

I was gonna but you got there first and amazed them with your fist of fury.

That explains why he wasn't my second set of hands at our recent BBQ cook-off competition. Here I am, asking for volunteers out the audience (wound up with a delightful young lady named Stephanie to butter the lobster and sauce the burgs) while I handled the brisket.

We took third.

Oh...and my pasta salad sucked...

She prepped the grub while you handled the brisket? Were you ogling her while you did it or did you just close your eyes and get r done?
