RATT - Top 10 Guitar Riffs! 

No spandex, please! :D

Mmm let's see.... Lack of communication, She wants money, The morning after, Im insane, Lay it down, Never use love, Got me on the line, Your in trouble, Eat me up alive, Last call, Lost weekend, Look out below, Garden of eden.. to name a few.. in no particular order lol. Ratt has some fun stuff and I still blast it with the windows down in my truck. I was born 89 so i never got to experience the good bands, I even missed Pantera when they were touring so I'm somewhat living in the past I guess you could say, but I'm keeping it alive.

@@Charvel1980 LOL I promise you will never see me in spandex! :)

@@Archangel89 Right on bro, and great choices. I was 18 in 1989 so my teen years were basically growing up on this stuff. It really was a special time in music, especially for guitar playing. :)

The distressed look Charvel T-shirt definitely shows allegiance to the brand! Love it!

They are far from being underrated. They are pretty well known.

@@JodysMusicChannel I'd say they're under rated considering how much praise garbage like Nirvana gets.

@@s.miller2648 Almost anyone who is into 80s metal knows who RATT is. In my opinion one of the most underrated bands, especially from that era is Y&T

@@JodysMusicChannel Yeah, the 80's metal fans know them, but like I said, they never get the respect that lame shit like Nirvana and Pearl Jam get.

Dream Theater is, but Ratt is definitely underrated.

It’s so easy to forget…

A great riff. Not THE great riff tho.

@@thomasaghotmailThen what is the greatest riff ever recorded?

Agreed

​@@meungawa Through The Fire And Flames

That's very cool. When I watch interviews with Warren he definitely comes across exactly as you describe. One of my heroes! :)

Thanks for sharing your very cool story!

Warren seems like a really cool guy.

@@liquidbraino "Seemed" unfortunately. His story is a good one, but it didn't end well.

That solo for " Give it all"- 😲 WoW

Yeah that is a great one. If I was to keep going with that list, that would show up pretty fast :)

You should definitely do this top 10 riffs segment

or "in your direction"

Agreed - would have added “never use love” and “the morning after”

Agreed

Point break

Did a cover od that song. It's my favourite of all Ratt's discography

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks "Lack of Communication" should be at the top five.

agree ! always love those opening riffs !

Absolutely! I still love "You think you're tough" opening riff too!

#1

Yep!

So sad I overlooked him back in the day. So glad I rediscovered him in 2020.

Fuck that

Hey thanks bro, I'll be the same age here in a few months. For me, the years between 1967 and 1990 are the best for rock guitar, and the 80s were hands down the best for just fun music in general. :)

Me too Bro. I'm 49 - 50 in December. I like other music too. But for me - it's just all about the 80's and esp Hair Rock. I'm locked on Sirius Hair Nation as well. That's what I have playing when I'm not listening to audio books. Country occasionally, because some of them still actually play guitar & drums. But mostly.... my 80's Bands. I'll always love it. My first love.

Yeah, exactly! There were very few new bands that came out in the 90's or later that I have enjoyed. A lot of that has to do with the guitar playing, but the songs just weren't as fun after the 80s either :)

I agree. Godsmack is one of the only new era bands iike.

They quit playing leads in most songs. Guitar players went down hill im my opinion.

Must of been early 1993 I was on I95 moving along pretty good, I finally flung my radio out the car window. Music was really starting to suck and guitars weren't as pointy as they used to be...

@@PDXguitarfreak I wish I could give you three or four thumbs up for that comment. :)

Thanks bro, and you have great taste (not just what you said here, but the song choices on your channel). Rock on! :)

Yep, it's one of those riffs that I just love to play. In fact, I quite often play it when I'm dialing in tones :)

You are welcome! I hope to do more Ratt solos in the future :)

LOL, I can't believe I missed that typo!!! Thanks, Michael! As for You're In Love, yeah it's so simple but effective... and definitely had to have been inspired by VH's Unchained.. not just the drop D tuning, but the chord choices too :)

You are welcome! :)

Take a chance is killer song.i like bluesy feeling

Yes 👍 bro! You are absolutely right and I'm 💯 agree with you indeed

LOL thanks Jeremy! It's a pretty easy riff, but so 80s, and so perfect.

Thanks! :)

Thanks Tony! :)
