Wanna say I saw them on tour behind this album in 1984 but I have no evidence other than a possibly misplaced memory. Pretty sure they filmed the <a href="http://youtu.be/rWTFhQoaM1g" rel="nofollow">video for "Wanted Man"</a> here in town well just outside of town at the wild west movie studio but again I have no proof.<br /><br />While "Round And Round" was certainly a crowd-pleaser, I've always preferred "Back For More" (the video, like the album cover, featured the guitarist's girlfriend, future video vixen Tawny Kitaen) and "Lack Of Communication" which is still one of the hardest rocking songs ever committed to vinyl.<br /><br />Definitely saw Ratt on August 1, 1985. Have that ticket stubb. They were touring behind their second album, <b>Invasion Of Your Privacy</b> which picked right up where <b>Out Of The Cellar</b> left off. The opening act that night was Bon Jovi, touring behind their own second album <b>7800° Fahrenheit</b>. A little over a year later, they'd hit the big time with their <b>Slippery When Wet</b> album.HERChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361888365133381438noreply@blogger.com
