Ratt founder and lead singer Stephen Pearcy will be celebrating the 40 year anniversary of 1984’s Out Of The Cellar debut by performing the album in its entirety and in sequence for the first time in 2024.
Question? Does it matter? The anniversary album sequence live? Or just as long as you play the hit song last from the featured album the band is delivering?
“Yes, it matters,” Pearcy says. “That’s been done back with Ratt in 2008 or something, and we didn’t do it in sequence. We played 'Round And Round' at the end of the show. I’m playing the OOTC record 2024 as it was laid into the grooves, 1-10 to this day. With a kick in the ass, tight, like the record. We just did a show recently and played the record in its entirety for the first time ever. It went over great, refreshing all these years later. Learned a lot. Because my sets are longer than the record, obviously I’m playing ALL the other Ratt songs necessary to get the job done.”
