History

Ratt formed in San Diego, California, in 1976 as Mickey Ratt, led by singer-guitarist Stephen Pearcy, and relocated to Los Angeles' Sunset Strip scene in the early 1980s. By 1982 the band settled into its classic lineup: Pearcy, guitarists Warren DeMartini and Robbin Crosby, bassist Juan Croucier and drummer Bobby Blotzer, shortening its name to Ratt. Alongside acts like Motley Crue, Ratt helped define the glam metal sound of the Sunset Strip: bluesy, hook-driven hard rock built around twin lead guitars. Their 1984 debut, Out of the Cellar, went multi-platinum on the strength of "Round and Round," which reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's video famously featured 1950s TV star Milton Berle in drag, playing off his old cross-dressing bits; he appeared as a favor because his nephew Marshall Berle managed the band. The follow-up, Invasion of Your Privacy (1985), cracked the Billboard top 10. Guitarist Robbin Crosby died in 2002; the band, through various lineups, kept recording and touring until releasing its final studio album, Infestation, in 2010.
