'Reach for the Sky,' -- RATT, New Music

Forty years in the making! RATT has a "new" single called "Reach for the Sky" - and it was originally written (or started) in 1982. The song was supposed to be on Out of the Cellar but it didn't happen and the track was shelved... until now.

Yes, the band's classic lineup plays on this track, including late guitarist Robbin Crosby! As soon as the song starts, you can tell this is classic RATT. Like, "Reach for the Sky" immediately transports you back to that debut-era sound. Just enjoy the dueling guitar solos - so fun! Also, Marq Torien, eventually of the Bulletboys, helped write the track. There's lot of Sunset Strip history here.

I heard this yesterday on another site. There's a reason this was not included on Out of the Cellar. It just doesn't fit. It's not a bad song by any means but not the classic Ratt n' Roll sound. Cool that they put it out, but I won't go looking to hear it again.

I hear you, Jeff.

It is interesting to hear it, plodding though it is. But I wouldn't go out and buy it.

Ratt n' slow Roll . . .

What?

THIS is FANTASTIC!

Now if they would just release the Time Coast EP with their priceless cover of “Walkin’ the Dog” Pearcy has been promising for almost a decade ago!
