It sounded like sucky music.
Show you right
Ratt wears mascara. By brother’s club band opened for them on night, and he said they were dicks and prima donnas.
>>helped diversify metal’s appeal beyond its core audience with its blend of hip-hop swagger, screaming, irresistible pop hooks and circuit-bending.
Link Wray, American Indian
Rob Halford, Gay leatherboy
“diversity” for the sake of “diversity” sucks. Go out and rock and if you have it in you. Others have.
Linkin Park started out ok but they turned into a crappy commercial music band.
Happens to most bands. Especially the front man who end up so full of themselves. Like Shinoda.
And “rap metal” had been a thing (and a bad idea) since the late 80s.

They both suck.

They say core audience like it’s a bad thing

Linkin Park? Ha! What garbage.
“That sucked more than anything that has ever sucked before.”
I liked RATT. I saw them 4-5 times live. Music isn’t always about the most talented or best lyricist. Sometimes it is just a fun night out. Back for More and Dance were two such songs.
It is worth noting, that Frank Zappa commented favorably about Warren DiMartini - "And this guy in Ratt, Warren DeMartini, he's pretty unbelievable too" - and that blew Warren away. They got to know each other before Frank died. Warren said....
Ive never received a Grammy, but if I did, I seriously doubt the feeling would exceed the feeling of getting a call from Frank Zappa.
I did not know that. And Im a huge Zappa fan. Saw him 5 times. Most amazing musicians ever.

Where are all the Afro bands? What do they have to say about it?

Thanks, I’ve heard it and seen the documentary but missed getting to see the reunion shows/tour by the band.

In 2008 another Detroit band covered it for a tour single.

Kind of like when REO Speed Wagon played for a Wal-Mart opening years ago.
