Sit down! Sharpen your #2 pencils- glam metal school is in session!
Today’s pop quiz? RATT.
Yep, everyone knows "Round and Round.” We get it. Dive bar jukeboxes & live band karaoke does too. But Ratt’s legacy goes way deeper, so pay attention!

In honor of Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy’s upcoming show at The Keswick Theatre this Friday (tomorrow!) we quizzed the Glitterverse:
What is your favorite Ratt song? There was one catch - it couldn’t be “Round and Round”.
Here is what we found.
#1 By a landslide, the Glitterverse can’t get enough of “Lay It Down” (featuring a young Stephen character in the music video).
#2 In a not-so-close, but still epic second place, the Glitterverse showed love for
“You’re in Love”.
Speaking of being in love…we are head over heels for glam rock singer Ana Moll who often pays homage to “Ratt and Roll” on her Instagram account. Big shoutout to the next generation for carrying the torch!
After that the debate team came out, things got a little chaotic with extra passionate presentations by Debate Team captains, powerhouse vocalist Susan Wendleken & Midnight Maniac Frontman Jake Curtis Allard. Both making solid points.
#3 After tallying up votes from all platforms… “Way Cool Junior” grabbed the number three spot followed by a tie for fourth place!
#4 “Back for More” & “Dance” (a tie!)
Jake made such a compelling case for “I’m insane”…we are going to go ahead & put it at
Great job students! Ready to graduate Ratt 101?
Next time you see your schoolmates pump their sweaty little fists to "Round and Round," remind them, it's just the tip of the iceberg. Tell ‘em to dive deeper, put on Ratt radio & crank it to 11.
Want extra credit? Take a listen to any or all of Stephen Pearcy’s seven solo albums!
How about a field trip?
Grab your tickets for the Keswick Theatre and watch Steven Pearcy do it in action. Friday January 19th. He will be playing his solo stuff alongside Ratt classics. Take notes.
Get there early! We don’t want to hear you say “I Don’t Feel Tardy”. Doors are at 7PM.
Kingston & GreyStarr will be moonlighting as backup singers for opening band Frankenstein 3000 (fronted by Kieth Roth).
Otherwise we’ll see you in detention. (It’s not so bad- we just pass notes & blast Ratt until the after school bell rings).
