Moon 44

I can t see my reflection in the waters, I can t speak the sounds that show no pain, I Moon 44 t hear the echo of my footsteps, Or can t remember the sound of my own name. Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin, And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin, Then I d lie in my bed once again. There s beauty in the silver, singin river, There s beauty in the rainbow in the sky, That I remember in my true love s eyes. Yes, and only if my own true love was waitin, And if I could only hear her heart a-softly poundin, Then I d lie in my bed once again. Ratt is an American heavy metal band that had significant commercial success in the 1980s. The band is best known for songs such as Round and Round, Wanted Man, Lay It Down, You re in Love, Slip of the Lip, Back For More, Dance, Body Talk, I Want a Woman, and Way Cool Jr. Ratt has been recognized as instrumental in the formation of the early 1980s Los Angeles hard rock and glam metal scene. The origins of Ratt go at least as far back as 1977 with a San Diego band called Mickey Ratt, which was formed by founding member vocalist Stephen Pearcy. Several CDs have been released of the Mickey Ratt line-ups, including several demo compilations and a live concert. Mickey Ratt went through various line-ups. Members included guitarists Jake E. Lee, Chris Hager, Paul DeNisco, and Bob DeLellis, bassists Matt Thorr, Tim Garcia, and Dave Jellison, Mike New, and drummers John Turner, Seth Faver, Dave Alford, and Bob Eisenberg. In 1980, the band moved to Los Angeles to increase their chances of landing a recording contract with a major label. The band recorded a single called Dr. Rock Drivin on E, which was given to fans at their early Los Angeles club shows. Guitarist Jake E. Lee joined the Mickey Ratt line up. In 1981, the band s name was shortened to Ratt. Robbin Crosby played with Moon 44 band later in the year. Jake E. Lee, Chris Hager, Matt Thorr, and Dave Alford all left Mickey Ratt to form another band called Rough Cutt. Guitarist Warren DeMartini joined in January 1982 recommended by Lee. Bassist Gene Hunter from Jake E. Lee s Teaser and drummer Khurt Maier who played drums on the early Tell The World recording would temporarily play in Ratt before Bobby Blotzer and Juan Croucier also with the band Dokken. DeMartini was only 18 years old when he was called up to Los Angeles to join Ratt. At the time he was attending college in San Diego and reluctant to drop out to join a band that had, so far, had only limited success. Marq Torien briefly replaced DeMartini, though Warren returned in time for the recording of their EP, later in 1 After a well-received, self-titled independent EP, the Moon 44 signed with Atlantic Records and immediately started writing and recording what would be its first proper album Out of the Cellar. Released in March 1984, the breakthrough album was critically praised by both fans and critics alike at the time of its release. Milton Berle s guest appearance, dressed in his Uncle Miltie drag character, in the video for Round and Round helped draw even more attention to the band. Out of the Cellar combined the then-prevalent Van Halen and Aerosmith influenced bravado elements with the then-novel muted, staccato guitar-picking style of Judas Priest.
