RATT 7/19/13 Cotillion Wichita

[Ranbat]

Yup! RATT! If you have a sweet tooth for the occasional Hair Metal/80s Glam show, these guys are still kicking it out in fairly decent form. With all the original members except the deceased Robbin Crosby (Carlos Cavazo of Quiet Riot fame standing in) it's really worth the ticket price. In my case $25. Stephen Pearcy's vocals are a little worse for the wear, but he does alright. Warren and Carlos do well trading 80s rock licks, while Bobby Blotzer and Juan hold the groove. They seemed to hold most of the hits until the latter half of their set, but they did throw in a few early in the set. There's not many of these bands I'd go see anymore due to the fact that many of them are one member running under the band name, but these guys bring the 80s rock in fine form.

RATT were one of the only hair metal bands that I had time for back in the eighties.

Never thought the original line up would ever get along again.
Would like to see it - but the dates are "Hair Metal" shows with three other bands, which puts them at festival type venues.
