Everyone LOVES the 80's!
Updated: Nov 8, 2025
Glam Metal 80's Icon Stephen Pearcy has hit the road touring his 40th Anniversary Album "Out of the Cellar" and he is celebrating with his fans at every show.
Fast becoming MTV darlings, RATT toured non-stop from 1983-1991 churning out hit after screaming guitar hit, ultimately landing them in some of the 80's & 90's most iconic movies & TV shows; "Point Break", "Weird Science", "The Golden Child", "Miami Vice".....just to name a few.
RATT headlined to sold out arenas throughout the 80's, with Stephen Pearcy handpicking new, up & coming opening bands of which he saw great potential; such as Bon Jovi (opened for RATT 1985/86) and Poison (opened for RATT 1986/87).
40 years later Stephen Pearcy still flies the 80's Flag at EVERY show. As he honors the album that, along with Van Halen and Motley Crue, created a movement that started out with a few Wild & Talented guys on the Sunset Strip and ended up defining the most Electrically Charged Era in music!

Kientoto There are so many articles available these days that it's easy to overlook something worth reading. Every now and then, though, you find a post that makes you slow down for a moment. I think that's what makes sharing ideas and experiences online worthwhile
Sontogel Sometimes I find myself reading through older discussions just to see how people's opinions have changed over time. It's interesting to compare different perspectives and notice which ideas are still relevant. There's often more to learn from a conversation than from a single explanation
Ltdtoto One thing I've learned from spending time online is that there's almost always another side to every discussion. Reading different opinions helps you understand why people think the way they do. Even small details can sometimes change your perspective on a particular subject.
Bobatoto It's always good to come across discussions that encourage curiosity and thoughtful conversations. I think the internet becomes a much more useful place when people are willing to share ideas and listen to different opinions. Hopefully, more readers will contribute their own thoughts and keep the discussion going.
The connection between Out of the Cellar and those movie soundtracks really brings the era into focus. WANTED MAN turning up in Weird Science is such a specific time capsule, and I hadn't realized Bon Jovi and Poison both opened for RATT. Reading this also reminded me of curryillion and how a name can stick in your head. A VIP AFTER PARTY MEET n GREET sounds like a fitting way to celebrate that 40-year history.
