Detonator Review
February 23, 2021
My most played album # 34. Ratt -Detonator. Only sold 500,000 copy's, I love this album, I think it’s the best Ratt album! The radio played Shame Shame Shame, Lovin' You's a Dirty Job and Giving Yourself Away. More great songs One Step Away, Top Secret and Heads I Win, Tails You Lose. I thought it should have been multi platinum, then again 1990 was around the time when MTV stopped playing metal and grunge was forced on us, so this was the first Ratt album not to go platinum. The band co-wrote most of the album's songs with Desmond Child while Jon Bon Jovi appeared as a guest background vocalist on "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose".

Reach for the Sky Review (1988)

Ratt을 처음 알게된것은 몇년전 개봉했던 레슬러라는 영화에서 주인공이 한 여인과 술집에서 round and round라는 곡을 들으며 흥겨움에 취해 키스하던 그 장면이 너무도 멋져서 한동안 그 노래에 푹 빠져지내게 된 이후였다.
글렘메탈의 전형적인 형태를 보여주는 그 싸구려틱하면서도 술집에... Read More

80년대를 풍미했던 Glam Metal은 어디에 연원을 두고 있을까? 만약 뿌리까지 거슬러 올라간다면 50, 60년대 로큰롤 밴드까지 만날 수 있겠지만, 그래도 글램 메탈과 비교적 긴밀하게 연관되어 있다고 볼 수 있는 밴드를 꼽는다면 아마도 70년대를 풍미했던 T. Rex와 Kiss가 거론되어야 할 것이다. 이... Read More

6집 ratt 발매이후 11년만에 발매된 신작, 개인적으로는 현재 1집, 4집을 보유하고 있는데 신기하게 전혀 세월의 변화가 느껴지지 않는다. 오히려 같은 사운드에 더욱 발전한 연주력이 돋보이며 Out of the Cellar보다도 추천하고 싶은 앨범이다. Quiet Riot에서 활동했던 기타리스트 Carlos Cavazo의 영... Read More

영화 레슬러에 나오는 Round and Round 라는 3번트랙으로 알게된 음악.
감정이입이 너무 잘되어 눈물이 날 정도로 가슴을 흔들었고..
지금도 가끔 들으면 영화시청당시의 감정이 생각나 즐겁고 우울해지기도 한다.
8비트 이하의 구수한 음악들로 가득 채워진 곡이다.
하지만 여타 다른 완전... Read More
