Roth is now a paramedic? That's scary. I always assumed he'd become just a gigolo. Color me disillusioned.
I believe it was Milton Berle.
Here's the VH1 article:

" Poison started as the opening act, but it got to the point that more people were showing up for Poison than for Ratt!"
Back in the early 90's that happened to ZZ Top when they had The Black Crows opening for them.
ZZ Top threw them off the tour.
The PMSNBC article:

Ratt's manager was Uncle Miltie's nephew, Marshall Berle. That's how he ended up in the "Round n' Round" video. (Damn, I'm old).
three of my favorite songs to play.
Oh and Demartini was 3 times the guitarist Crosby was and George Lynch ate 'em both for lunch!
Oops. Berle was their mangers uncle. All this time I thought he was Robin's uncle. Could have sworn that is what Percy told me. But that was a loooonnnngg time ago......
DeMartini and Lynch are in my top ten...
However....nobody could shred like Lynch:
I saw Metallica open for Ozzy after the release of Master of Puppets, and the place was full when Metallica started. I wouldn't say that anybody left when Ozzy came on, but it seemed that more people where there for Metallica than for Ozzy.
"You're in Love" is another goody.
Ah, poor George. Truly wasted his talent with Dokken. The first two Lynch Mob records are classics, but by then, the train had left the station. Lynch has a disc out called "Will Play for Food", basically a compilation of all his one offs for Shrapnel Records, and what not. There's a version of "Rollin' and Tumblin" on there that has some of his best licks ever.
Never heard of her.
Agree there. Donny was/is a world class weanie.
It's nice to hear from somebody who's actually heard of George Lynch. Again, more songs that I love to play and these,somehow I seem to play everytime I fart around with my guitar: It's Not Love, Into the Fire and In My Dreams
Oh man, Udo Dirkschnider and crew were gay? And to think I liked "Balls to the Wall". Now I will have to re-think the meaning of it. I knew Halford was gay, even back then.
Although he did do a great job as producer on that Great White EP with "Down On Your Knees".
The way my memory is serving me today I probably have that wrong too.
Yep. It was one of the worst kept secrets in town.
