As so many 80’s rock bands tried to do, RATT attempted to make the music conversion in order to stay relevant in the new grunge rock market. Music changed almost overnight, and not for the better in my personal opinion. Unfortunately, the inevitable happened when the era of grunge music broke onto the scene and turned the arena rock world upside down. Vocally, Pearcy was never one of the best, but his voice fits the RATT persona and music as no other could. Stephen Pearcy, RATT’s lead vocalist, knew how to command a stage and captivate audiences. I saw them four tours in a row beginning with the Invasion of Your Privacy tour in 1985. Their music was second to none and their live concerts were over the top. In the mid to late 80’s, one of my favorite bands was RATT.
